A day later, Gao Yan returned to Tianyao City.
The fact that the Nie sisters and their men were rescued was a slap in the face to Cheng Lishan, which made him extremely angry.
When Qu Houyang learned of this, he summoned him and gave him a good scolding, which made Cheng Lishan even angrier. Not only did he send people to search for the Nie sisters, but he also ordered the gangs in the city to send people to search for them!
But these gangs had been exploited by Qu Houyang for a full ten years, so how could they genuinely help him find people? They were all just going through the motions, and they often secretly laughed at Cheng Lishan for making a fool of himself.
Why didn't you just kill the Nie sisters after you caught them? Why did you have to pull this public execution stunt? You messed it up and made a fool of yourself. You really shot yourself in the foot!
Meanwhile, the gangs were also very curious about who had gone to the city lord's prison to rescue the person.
You should know that there are two Celestial Immortals in the City Lord's Mansion.
If the deception could fool the celestial being, then the one who saved the person must be a celestial being.
For a moment, all the gang leaders were a little envious of the Nie sisters, who were actually able to hook up with a celestial beauty!
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
The search for the Nie sisters naturally yielded no results!
For this, Cheng Lishan was reprimanded by Qu Houyang.
This made him hate the Nie sisters so much that he secretly vowed that if he ever encountered them again, he would personally kill them.
Two days later, Gao Yan suddenly received an invitation from Cheng Lishan.
"What does this old man want with me?"
Gao Yan was somewhat surprised, but he still went to keep the appointment.
"Meet with the process manager!"
Gao Yan bowed in greeting.
"sit!"
Cheng Lishan said calmly, his tone still carrying a hint of arrogance.
"Thank you, Butler!"
"Gao Yan, you were once the head steward of the Red Leaf Gang. The Nie sisters fled to avoid punishment. Logically speaking, I, the steward, should also punish you!"
At this point, Cheng Lishan paused, clearly waiting for Gao Yan to make a move.
Seeing through this, Gao Yan had no choice but to cooperate: "Thank you for your mercy, Steward. I will do anything you need, even at the cost of my life!"
Seeing that Gao Yan was so sensible, Cheng Lishan was quite satisfied. He said, "You used to be the head of the Red Leaf Gang, so you should know a lot about how the Dual Cultivation Building and the casino operate!"
"Yes, Master Butler!"
"In that case, the Dual Cultivation Pavilion and the casino are yours from now on. You just need to pay 100 million immortal stones to the City Lord's Mansion every year!" Cheng Lishan waved his hand and said.
"Thank you very much, Butler. I will definitely not let you down!"
Gao Yan quickly replied.
Cheng Lishan was somewhat surprised to see Gao Yan agree so readily, because he knew that the combined revenue of the Shuangxiu Building and the casino would be at most 100 million a year.
He thought Gao Yan would try to bargain, but to his surprise, the other party agreed immediately!
So he praised, "Not bad, you're a genius. Keep up the good work, and I'll introduce you to my young master in the future!"
After leaving the restaurant, a cold smile instantly appeared on Gao Yan's lips.
That old man had no good intentions; he handed over the Shuangxiu Building and the casino to him simply so he could work for free.
But it doesn't matter. If this dual cultivation building and casino fall into other people's hands, they definitely won't make any money, but he has the system to give him back. If he earns 100 million, the system will give him 500 million back.
As for Cheng Lishan, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future!
The following day, Gao Yan officially took over the Shuangxiu Building and the casino.
At the same time, he appeased his employees and also recruited some managers and guard captains at the late stage of the Human Immortal realm!
No one from the other gangs envied Gao Yan for this.
Some even thought he was just an unlucky guy, because the news that he had to pay 100 million immortal stones to the city lord's mansion every year had spread. Given the current situation in Tianyao City, the business of the Dual Cultivation Pavilion and the casino would definitely get worse and worse.
Half a month later, Gao Yan's immortal body successfully advanced to the third grade, and his cultivation speed was greatly improved. Even so, it would still take 600 years to advance to the eighth level of the Heavenly Immortal!
Therefore, if you want to improve your cultivation level, you still have to rely on the lottery.
But to participate in the lottery, you need to earn points.
However, neither the Shuangxiu Building nor the casino is doing very well.
The net income after half a month is only 3.5 million, so it's 7 million for a month and 84 million for a year.
So, by this calculation, he would have to pay Qu Houyang an additional 16 million yuan.
Moreover, as business declines, he may have to pay even more.
Gao Yan is someone who doesn't like to suffer losses!
So, he got the idea!
That day, Cheng Lishan, accompanied by two attendants, came out of the restaurant after drinking and leisurely headed towards the city lord's mansion.
Everyone who saw him along the way bowed in respect.
Just as the three of them were less than three kilometers away from the city lord's mansion, their expressions collectively froze, and then they turned around and walked into the alley not far away.
A middle-aged man was standing in the alley; this was Gao Yan in disguise.
All three of them fell victim to his Great Puppet Technique!
Under his command, Cheng Lishan and the other two took out all the items from their storage rings.
After putting these things away, Gao Yan vanished in a flash.
Cheng Lishan and his two companions, completely unaware of the situation, left the alley and continued their journey towards the City Lord's Mansion!
"Excellent, excellent!"
Gao Yan smiled with satisfaction upon returning home.
Cheng Lishan's storage ring actually contained 2.3 billion immortal stones, in addition to various pills, immortal medicines, refining materials, cultivation techniques, and so on.
Together they're worth at least 3 billion!
As for the two attendants, they were a bit less fortunate. The immortal stones in their storage rings totaled only 300 million, and the other miscellaneous items added up to 200 million!
Upon accessing the system interface, the profit value surged by 2.6 billion, meeting the upgrade requirements.
