"Investigate!" the cult leader angrily ordered his confidants. He had purged most of the previous elders, and that Zuo Qianqiu was only sent away because he was senile. How dare he do such a thing behind his back!
Soon, the envoy sent by the Demonic Sect found the Four Seas Trading Company and witnessed firsthand how successful Zuo Qianqiu's business was. However, when faced with the Demonic Sect's token, Zuo Qianqiu casually said while picking his nose, "Let me finish my work first."
The two messengers looked furious.
"Zuo Qianqiu, how dare you leave the branch and come to Yangcheng to do business without permission? And without informing the headquarters, do you not respect the leader at all!"
Zuo Qianqiu smiled and said, "No, it's not that I don't respect the sect leader, it's just that I haven't had time to visit him at all."
"Zuo Qianqiu, do you really think that just because you're colluding with the government, our Zhetian Sect can't touch you?" The man's words were full of threat.
Zuo Qianqiu sighed: "The two of you are really not enough."
"Old man, do you really think you're an elder? The sect leader has collected all the martial arts manuals in the world, and our strength is now above yours!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man showed off his stance. His knuckles were unusually thick and covered with calluses.
"I advise you to forget about it..." Zuo Qianqiu said.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
"Well," Zuo Qianqiu rubbed his hands together, "our branch isn't colluding with the imperial court, it's siding with it..."
"Why are you wasting your breath talking to them!" A loud voice came from behind, followed by the sound of arrows piercing the air. The two messengers turned around at the same time, only to be greeted by a barrage of arrows.
Zuo Qianqiu was already squatting behind the counter, muttering to himself.
"I'm waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?"
"Despicable!" the two envoys roared, dodging and weaving with their agility, but the relentless barrage of fire from the guards crouching outside the door was too much for them to handle. These guards were using crossbows designed for medium-range combat, which had greater penetrating power than longbows. In just two or three rounds, the two envoys were riddled with bullets.
Zuo Qianqiu peeked out from behind the counter: "Oh no, it'll have to be renovated again."
Wang Ergou strode in and kicked the messenger, who was practically dead: "Coming here to show off, ptooey!"
Zuo Qianqiu looked at the two of them with some melancholy: "There's really no turning back now."
Wang Ergou said, "Branch Master, let me see these two people..." He suddenly saw the Zhetian Sect token on the counter and froze.
for a long time.
"Branch leader, did we...did we kill the cult's envoy?"
Zuo Qianqiu looked at him with annoyance: "Weren't you full of energy just now? Are you scared now?"
Wang Ergou, with a mournful face, said, "I don't know either. I just heard them say someone was causing trouble, so I rushed over, but who knew... this..."
Zuo Qianqiu kicked him: "Look at you, so spineless! We've already crossed the line, are you still afraid of a mere demonic sect?"
Wang Ergou turned his head with his mouth agape to look at Zuo Qianqiu's face. Why didn't he think this old man was shameless before? Now he's calling him a mere demonic sect?
"Then, what do we do next?" Wang Ergou was still somewhat flustered, as he knew all too well the methods employed by those people at the headquarters.
Fang Zhiyi's voice came in: "What should we do? Make a big fuss about it."
Zuo Qianqiu glanced at him but didn't say anything. Once he opened the Sihai Trading Company, there was no turning back.
