"Kill him!" someone shouted angrily from under the bridge, slamming their hand on the table.
"Whoosh!" The woman behind her stretched out her hand, and a fire snake appeared, swirling and dancing.
"Wait a minute!" Kato waved his hand.
His gaze fell on Chen Tiansheng.
"If Mr. Chen agrees to cooperate with us!"
"Additional conditions can be omitted!"
"NO!" Chen Tiansheng waved his hand.
"I can let you move to the Land of Cakes and enjoy its beautiful scenery and beautiful women!"
"And I will write to the prince, requesting that you be granted an official position!"
"NO!!" Chen Tiansheng waved his hand again.
“It seems we really can’t reach an agreement!” Kato shook his head and said.
"Yes!" Chen Tiansheng sneered.
"Actually, I knew your plan before I came!"
"Use investment to control Chinese enterprises, and thus control the economy!"
"Make plans for the next step!"
"I didn't come to Wuzhen to attend the entrepreneurs' conference!"
"Warning those traitors is just a side effect!"
"The real reason they came is to target you."
"To be precise, they came here for the third base that Bingguo has established in Wuzhen—a cultural and economic base!"
Upon hearing this, Kato Ichi and Hashimoto Ichi's expressions changed drastically, their eyes fixed on Chen Tiansheng.
"How do you know all this?" they asked.
"We've arrested two traitors who collaborated with the stronghold and betrayed their conscience!"
"I got it from them!" Chen Tiansheng said.
“That’s pretty impressive!” Kato sneered.
"So what if you know?"
"The plan for the Kingdom of Pancakes is already more than halfway complete!"
"The good days for the Dragon Kingdom are numbered!"
"Even if you have immense abilities, you can't salvage this situation!"
"Besides, being a businessman is completely useless!"
"If you know what's good for you, cooperate with us and become our money-making machine!"
"Perhaps you can still save your life!"
“Otherwise, you will die today!” Kato said.
"It's too early to say!" Chen Tiansheng shook his head.
"Before we take action, I'd like to confirm your identities!"
"Are you two the Ministers of Economy of the Kingdom of Pancakes?" he asked.
"Yes, my real name is Kato Ichiro, and I am the Vice Minister of Development of the Mochi Country!"
“His real name is Hashimoto Ichiro, and he’s an investment specialist!” Kato Ichiro said.
"Understood!"
"Kill!" Chen Tiansheng nodded and said calmly.
"Die!" Shi Jing clenched his fist and threw a punch.
"Swoosh!" The samurai behind Kato Ichiro stepped forward, blocking him, and suddenly drew his sword, slashing out with a single blow.
A blade of energy slashed over and collided with the fist's force, producing a muffled thud. The energy dispersed and swept outwards.
"Ah!" The beautiful woman lying on the table screamed in fright, rolled down, and landed on Kato Ichiro and Hashimoto, splashing the food and snacks all over them.
"Get out!" the two men shouted angrily. One of them kicked the woman under the table, and the woman stood up, shaking her clothes.
"Swoosh!" The woman in the red dress flicked her wrist, and the fire snake sprang forward, rushing straight towards Chen Tiansheng.
With a wave of her hand, Liu Xue released a wisp of cold air that enveloped the fire serpent. Mist rose, and in a moment, the fire serpent vanished.
"Ice attribute spell!" Upon witnessing this, the woman in the red dress was taken aback. She suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a thick flame, which transformed into an even thicker fire serpent that rushed towards Liu Xue.
Liu Xue made a grabbing motion with her five fingers, and an ice sword suddenly appeared. She held it in her hand and slashed out with a fierce blow.
"Swoosh!" The flying fire serpent was immediately split in two and extinguished under the pressure of the cold air!
"Slash!" Liu Xue slashed out with her sword again, and a huge sword shadow, enveloped in cold air, rushed towards the woman.
The woman dared not be negligent. Flames burst forth in her hand, transforming into a long flaming blade, which she grabbed and slashed at the sword shadow.
Swords clashed, and the cold air mingled with the flames, producing a series of hissing sounds.
A chilling aura emanated from Liu Xue and entered the sword shadow, which immediately materialized and advanced forward.
The flames on the fire blade in the woman's red dress were gradually suppressed by the cold air and extinguished considerably. She was also pushed back step by step by the enormous force transmitted from the ice sword.
"Slash!" Liu Xue's body blurred, and she instantly appeared in front of her, slashing down with her long sword.
The woman was desperately trying to fend off the attacks of the solidified sword shadows when Liu Xue suddenly appeared before her.
At this moment, the ice sword had already struck.
She was shocked and quickly dodged. The ice sword fell, severing one of her arms.
"You just wait!" she said fiercely, then transformed into a flame and fled.
"You can't escape!" Liu Xue waved her hand, and a burst of cold air condensed into an ice wall in front of her.
The flames crashed heavily against the ice wall and fell to the ground, revealing the woman's figure.
"Please, please let me go!" The woman finally realized how ruthless Liu Xue was and begged for mercy with her head down.
"Pfft!" Liu Xue did not respond. With a single sword strike, she was immediately cut in two, then turned into two ice sculptures.
"A master of the Flame Path is no match for her?" Hashiichiro's face changed color upon witnessing this scene, and he was greatly surprised.
"Swoosh!" Liu Xue turned around, and the ice sword flew out of her hand, passing through the chest of a man under the bridge, lifting him up, and embedding him in the wall.
Before anyone under the bridge could utter a sound, their face frozen in surprise, they became a human-shaped ice sculpture, hanging on the wall.
Liu Xue returned to her seat and saw Chen Tiansheng shivering from the cold. She smiled slightly, placed her hand on his shoulder, and channeled a wisp of true energy into him. He immediately felt warm again.
In the distance, the warrior from Bingguo unleashed three consecutive strikes, all of which were dodged by Shi Jing.
With a hiss, he drew another long sword from his back, swung it around using his dual-sword style, and slashed at the target.
Although the knife skills were much more meticulous and ruthless than before.
But it still couldn't hurt Shi Jing.
"Even with an extra knife, it's nothing special!" Shi Jing chuckled and threw a punch.
"Boom!" A fist shadow the size of a water vat suddenly appeared and slammed heavily onto the warrior.
He and his knife were instantly reduced to pieces, scattered on the ground.
"A master of the Jushi School!"
"He was actually killed!" Upon witnessing this scene, Kato Ichiro's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"With such meager skills, you dare to threaten our CEO Chen!" Shi Jing said with a mocking expression as he walked over.
"Mr. Chen, I know I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have offended you, please, spare my life!" Kato Ichiro got up and kowtowed to Chen Tiansheng.
"Where is the person in charge of cultural matters?" Chen Tiansheng asked casually.
