Chapter 308: Chapter 308: The Transformation of Chen Boxiong
The next day.
Early in the morning.
At the crack of dawn.
Su Luo had purchased a plane ticket and was on his way to Kun City.
However, since there were no direct flights to Kun City from Jintian, Su Luo had to take a few hours’ drive by car after his flight before he finally arrived.
By the time he reached Kun City, it was already the afternoon.
"According to the information provided by Zhao Jingwu, Aunt Shen and the others should be staying at Feya Hotel," Su Luo thought to himself.
But Zhao Jingwu only knew which hotel Aunt Shen and the others were staying in, not the specific room each person occupied. Moreover, Zhao Jingwu couldn’t inquire in such detail without arousing suspicion.
Therefore, upon arriving in Kun City, Su Luo went directly to the Feya Hotel.
However, under the examination of his Divine Sense, he couldn’t find any trace of Aunt Shen at the Feya Hotel.
"Zhao Jingwu, are you sure they’re staying at the Feya Hotel?" Su Luo contacted Zhao Jingwu to confirm.
"Reporting to Mr. Su, I’m absolutely certain that Miss Shen and the others came directly from Capital City on the private plane of Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce and arrived in Kun City at noon!" said Zhao Jingwu with certainty.
"So where are they now?" asked Su Luo.
"Perhaps they have already gone to the auction?" Zhao Jingwu said uncertainly.
"Then find out for me," Su Luo instructed before hanging up the phone.
Before long,
Zhao Jingwu sent a message to Su Luo: "Mr. Su, Miss Shen and the others have already gone to the auction. The name of the auction is Dongsheng Auction House. It is a special auction for the Martial Arts World that ordinary people cannot access, and only Martial Artists are eligible to participate."
Subsequently, Zhao Jingwu sent him the address of the auction.
"Dongsheng Auction House?"
Su Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Through what Zhao Jingwu had told him, he was aware of the purpose of Aunt Shen and the others for attending this auction, which revolved around a particular item.
But what that specific item was, Zhao Jingwu couldn’t find out.
Nevertheless, Su Luo was certain that if the people from Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce had traveled all this way to Kun City, it must be for something valuable.
Whatever the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce wanted, whether it was useful to him or not, Su Luo was determined to snatch it away and not let them succeed.
Hence,
Su Luo first checked into a hotel room and then immediately set out for the Dongsheng Auction House.
Dongsheng Auction House was located in the bustling downtown area and easy to find.
When Su Luo arrived at his destination, he saw various luxury cars parked outside the auction, Rolls Royces, Maseratis, Porsches, Bentleys, Maybachs, Audis, BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes... they were everywhere.
From this, it was clear that apart from Martial Artists, those coming to the auction were likely to be very wealthy.
"Do I have enough money on me?"
Su Luo suddenly wondered at that moment.
The amount in his bank account was not small – after all, he charged Chen Boxiong for the Tempering Pills, and with Zhou Shihao’s forces taken over by Chen Boxiong who then became the new Underground Emperor of Jiangbei, Chen Boxiong had made sure to pay tribute to him, transferring money to his account every month on time.
He had already received one such transfer before.
So, despite having spent a lot, his account balance still had over a hundred million in funds.
But for some reason, Su Luo felt that attending this auction, if he truly took interest in any item, a billion might not suffice.
After all, when bidding for the Great Dao Treasure Vase, he already had an experience where three billion almost wasn’t enough.
Who knew what the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce had set their sights on and how much it would cost.
The treasures of the Martial Arts World... sometimes, their prices were truly outrageous.
To be safe, it was better to have more funds prepared.
Thinking this,
Su Luo called Chen Boxiong, "Mr. Chen, first transfer five billion to me, no... make it ten billion. As for the profits afterward, just deduct them directly, and regarding the Tempering Pills, give me some time, and I’ll refine a batch and send them back to you."
In Jiangbei, within Chen Mansion.
Receiving the call, Chen Boxiong said in a deep voice, "Mr. Su, you’re asking for ten billion just like that. I can’t come up with so much cash all at once. We don’t have that much in liquid assets, and after integrating many of Zhou Shihao’s industries and forces, we still need money to maintain them. I really can’t produce that much at the moment."
Su Luo frowned, "Then how much can you get?"
"At most... three billion, I really can’t come up with more," Chen Boxiong thought for a moment and said.
"Fine, if it’s three billion then it’s three billion," Su Luo said.
"Good, I’ll arrange for the transfer right away," said Chen Boxiong.
"Alright, then I’ll trouble you with that."
Just as Su Luo was about to hang up the phone, Chen Boxiong suddenly said, "Mr. Su, have you been very busy lately?"
"Yes," Su Luo replied.
"Since you’re so busy, why don’t you give me the formula for the Tempering Pills? I’ll find a factory to mass-produce them. Afterwards, I’ll transfer all the income to your account without shorting you a cent, what do you think?" Chen Boxiong asked hesitantly after a moment.
Su Luo’s expression gradually turned colder as he calmly asked, "Mr. Chen, what if I refuse?"
Chen Boxiong chuckled, "Mr. Su, of course, you can refuse. I was just thinking, with your limited personal energy, but if you give me the formula for the Tempering Pills, I can establish a factory for mass production. Then, we would be moving mountains of gold and silver, both of us would be earning pots of gold, why not do it?"
"It seems Mr. Chen has quite some ideas lately," Su Luo said with a faint smile.
"Mr. Su, you jest, my achievements are all thanks to having you. If you don’t wish to give it, of course, I’ll follow Mr. Su’s wishes," Chen Boxiong said.
"Fine, since you’re willing to listen to me, I won’t agree to give you the formula. If you still want to do the Tempering Pill business, then wait till I’m free to refine some more for you," Su Luo said.
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Su, you go ahead with your work," Chen Boxiong said, then hung up the phone.
Su Luo held his phone, a cold smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
It seems some people’s greed knows no bounds, swelling up after taking Zhou Shihao’s place!
However.
Su Luo wasn’t worried, if Chen Boxiong behaved properly, then everything would be fine, and they could still cooperate. But if Chen dared to play tricks, Su Luo wouldn’t mind taking his life and finding someone else to be the new Underground Emperor of Jiangbei.
Meanwhile.
In Jiangbei.
Inside the Chen Mansion.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Chen Boxiong’s face gradually faded, replaced by a layer of coldness.
"Dad, did that Su Luo refuse?" Chen Yajing asked from the side.
Chen Boxiong nodded.
"Really ungrateful," Chen Yajing snorted coldly. She had actually tried to make overtures to Su Luo after he helped her father defeat Zhou Ye, but Su Luo didn’t even spare her a glance, which had left her with grievances.
"He is very powerful," Chen Boxiong reminded her.
Chen Yajing immediately said, "Dad, the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce has extended an olive branch to you. If they’re as strong as you said, we can just join the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce. What can that mere Su Luo count for?"
"Let me consider it more," Chen Boxiong said in a solemn voice.
The reason he dared to directly make such a request to Su Luo was precisely because the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce had extended an olive branch to him, and he had learned that Zhou Shihao was originally from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce. After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Chamber, he was utterly shaken.
The power of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce terrified him.
He didn’t dare to stand with Su Luo and oppose the Chamber any longer.
However, he himself was not a martial artist, nor did he have a grandmaster as his right-hand man. He felt that even if he joined the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, his status might not be high, maybe even lower than the previous Zhou Shihao.
So, he wanted to offer the formula for the Tempering Pills to the Chamber, hoping to secure his own status.
But clearly, Su Luo was unwilling.
Geng Hai beside him moved his mouth, wanting to say... it’s not good to betray trust, and choosing the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce, to offend Su Luo, might not be the right choice.
But the words reached his lips and turned into a sigh. He knew that after becoming the new Underground Emperor of Jiangbei, Chen Boxiong’s ambitions had greatly inflated, and he was no longer the Chen Boxiong of before; even if Geng Hai spoke up, he probably couldn’t sway him.
