“How should I address you?”

“Old Jia.”

Upon hearing the crew-cut youth’s voice, Cai Weiqian was startled and felt an odd sensation in his heart.

“Have there been any goods hijacked recently?”

“Yes, there were tobacco products worth 2 million that were seized just yesterday by the Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce. They’re asking for 2.2 million to ransom them back,” Cai Weiqian hurriedly said, “The leader of the Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce is called Xiong Qi, the youngest son of Xiong Tiangsha, a big shot from Da Peng City’s underworld some years back. Since taking over the chamber, he has been much more tyrannical than before.”

The crew-cut youth seemed thoughtful for a while, “Give me an address. I’ll pay a visit.”

Cai Weiqian’s face lit up with joy, but he also felt some worry, “I’ve heard he also has a Transcendent as a backer.”

“We’ll know after I pay a visit.”

Cai Weiqian felt as if he had only been distracted for a moment, when suddenly the mysterious man known as “Old Jia” disappeared from in front of him, making his heart tighten even as a wave of excitement washed over him.

The power of the Transcendents filled him with awe, but at the same time, being able to form a “friendship” with one brought him great surprise.

“Boss?” The inquiry came from Big Bald Old Wei at the door, who was genuinely concerned that something might have happened to his boss.

In response, a full-throated voice came from inside the room, easing Big Bald Old Wei’s worries. He cautiously opened the door and entered, only to see that Cai Weiqian was the only person remaining in the room, which took him aback.

“Has he left?”

“He has.” Cai Weiqian looked over with a beaming smile.

Old Wei noticed that the box on the table had vanished as well, and it suddenly dawned on him, “Boss, did he agree?”

Cai Weiqian still wore his amiable, smiling demeanor, “I hope my decision this time is the right one.”

Old Wei couldn’t help but express his frustration, “These gangs have been way out of line lately!”

Cai Weiqian turned his gaze toward the fully open window, where the wind and rain beat with a howling din.

“Old Wei, take some men to the Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce and be on standby to assist, and be sharp.”

“I understand.”

Twenty minutes later.

Cai Weiqian received a call from Old Wei and leapt to his feet upon hearing the content, “Are you sure? The Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce is really willing to hand over the goods?”

His eyes brightened.

Old Jia had really done it!

But the speed of it all seemed too fast!

He quickly asked, “Did they say anything on the Ma Gang’s side?”

Old Wei hesitated, “Boss, Boss Xiong wants to speak with you personally.”

After the phone was handed to another person.

Cai Weiqian soon heard a domineering voice, “I say, Old Cai, you’re really not being fair. If you’d lost goods, you should’ve just called me to inquire. This time it’s my men who mixed up the goods; I’ve already put together the full amount for you.”

Cai Weiqian’s heart skipped a beat, but he replied with a chuckle, “Boss Xiong, so it was all a misunderstanding. Let me host a dinner some day to apologize.”

“Haha, for sure, for sure.”

After hanging up the phone, Cai Weiqian’s smile was hard to conceal, and he couldn’t help feeling envious.

“Brother Sun San really has good fortune.”

After watching Cai Weiqian’s people drive away, Xiong Qi retracted his gaze, turned around, and slapped one of his men hard across the face.

“Boss!” The man, startled, hurriedly admitted his fault.

“You damn near got me killed! Next time you make a move, can you check out the other party’s background first?” Xiong Qi shuddered at the memory of opening his eyes to find a mysterious person standing at the foot of his bed. He was almost scared out of his wits.

Luckily, the other party had only come to warn him and hadn’t really made a move; otherwise, his life would not be enough to die a hundred times over.

He turned and made his way back to his office.

Xiong Qi took a call.

A woman’s voice came through, “I just heard about your company’s incident. I told you before not to be so high-profile, but you wouldn’t listen. If they really wanted to kill you, do you think you could stop them?”

Xiong Qi’s face was awkward, tinged with annoyance, but he had nowhere to vent, only able to say sulkily, “I know. I didn’t expect that Cai Weiqian could actually rope in a Transcendent to have his back. That old guy is really sneaky. Have you got any news on your end?”

“I don’t recognize him, maybe he’s from out of town… A person like that, there’s no telling if he’s got blood on his hands. Since he didn’t lay a finger on you, it shows he understands the rules here. We should be able to live in peace from now on. But did you really not notice anything at the time?”

“No, I checked afterward, there was no trace on the surveillance, no alarm went off. The guy was like a ghost, scared me into a cold sweat at the time… Sister… what do you think is his level?”

“I can’t be sure… with that ability, he’s definitely an expert at assassination. Forget it, stop thinking about revenge. I can’t protect you when I’m not around.”

“I understand.”

Xiong Qi hung up the phone, and the moment he thought about the scene when he woke up, his heart sank to the bottom.

“Where on earth did Cai Weiqian find this guy!”

The incident at the Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce quickly spread throughout the Xie Mountain area. Basically everyone knew that Cai Weiqian had secured a Transcendent as support, a very powerful one, and even Xiong Qi, chairman of the Ma Gang Chamber of Commerce, had no choice but to bow his head.

Some scoffed at the matter, while others tried various means to probe Cai Weiqian.

But Cai Weiqian kept mum. On the contrary, he used the influence created by Old Jia today to rapidly expand his business network.

“This two million was well worth it!”

“Little Li, you’re back early today?” In the corridor, the landlady shook her umbrella, smiling amiably.

“Just here to drop something off.” Pei Jinye was holding a black package.

The landlady wasn’t particularly inquisitive, and politely nodded, opening her door, just as a young girl’s voice came from inside, “Mom, something big has happened, my aptitude verification exam was rejected!”

The landlady’s face changed, and she rushed into her home without another word.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s a notice from the Education Department. They say there’s a special arrangement, and now the ordinary certifications across the country will be delayed for about ten days.”

“Special arrangement? What kind of special arrangement?”

“I don’t know, it’s so strange. This has never happened before. Why did it have to be during my year…”

The voices of the mother and daughter faded as the door closed.

At that moment, Pei Jinye had already entered his own room, routinely checked the traps, and after confirming everything was in order, he went inside.

He tossed it aside casually.

The package hit the floor with a muffled thud.

Pei Jinye had just carelessly thrown half a million in cash onto the ground.

Pretending to be “Old Jia” was a spur-of-the-moment act.

Old Jia’s guise came easily to him.

First, the identity of Boss Pei carried a surname, making it easy to trace back to him.

Second, by creating another persona, if he were to be investigated later, they would speculate he had backing…

Eventually, even without Pei Jinye’s guidance, someone would naturally connect it back to the Bronze Association.

What Pei Jinye needed to do now was to accelerate his training to enhance his abilities swiftly.

Rather than painstakingly covering his tracks, he preferred to directly erase troubles with raw, powerful force!

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down harder.

He was definitely not going to visit the Bronze Association now.

After speaking with Tang Huoyang on the phone, Pei Jinye sat cross-legged on the floor preparing to cultivate when suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a green light shadow.

The Attribute Light Group!

“Let’s see, how much of a surprise you can give me…” He said, extending his hand to touch it.

(Now that we’ve fallen off the new book list, visibility has dropped. I’m kneeling for support, let’s all stand tall together!)
