Chapter 43: 43 Where is Zhang Hui?

Black Dragon Building, top floor, Chairman’s Office.

Zhang Longwang sat on the sofa, looking at Hua Xiong seated across from him, and asked with a grave expression, "Is that old bastard, Song Qingshan, really that powerful? Not even you can match him?"

Just a moment ago, Hua Xiong had found him and recounted the day’s events.

Hua Xiong nodded, speaking solemnly, "I didn’t even see how he made his move before I got slapped by him. I suspect that his strength has returned to its peak state, or it might even be..."

He paused for a bit, his face wrought with unprecedented seriousness.

Zhang Longwang frowned and asked, "Might be what?"

Hua Xiong enunciated each word, "An Energizing Skill Grandmaster!"

"What?"

Zhang Longwang’s pupils shrank suddenly, incredulous, "How is that possible? Perhaps he’s at the Dark Energy Peak!"

Hua Xiong said, "Chairman, you know my combat power. Although it’s only at the Dark Energy Late Stage, even if I were to fight a Dark Energy Peak expert, it wouldn’t be without the power to counter."

"Against Song Qingshan, not only did I lack the power to counter, but I also couldn’t even see how he struck."

"Chairman, I am fully certain that even if he isn’t an Energizing Skill Grandmaster, he’s not far from it. We must figure out a way to eliminate him, or else our Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild will have an even lower status at headquarters."

Zhang Longwang said nothing, his face full of gravity. He wouldn’t fear Song Qingshan if he were only a half-step Grandmaster, but he was afraid that Song Qingshan might indeed be an Energizing Skill Grandmaster.

In Shen Zhou, any Energizing Skill Grandmaster exerted enough influence to found schools and command territories as a top-tier master.

And the Grand Chairman of Black Dragon Commerce Association was an Energizing Skill Grandmaster.

After a long silence, a thought suddenly struck him. He turned to Hua Xiong and asked, "You just mentioned that the Xiao Family from the provincial city gave you ten million to kill a young man, and then Song Qingshan took action to protect this young man, right?"

Hua Xiong nodded.

Zhang Longwang then asked, "The Xiao Family of the provincial city? The one that is going to marry into the Provincial City Chen Family?"

Hua Xiong nodded, then said, "I’ve already investigated. The reason Xiao Family wants to kill Qin Chuan is because this kid got involved with the woman from the Xiao Family that was supposed to marry into the Chen Family."

Zhang Longwang appeared thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, a glint sparkled in his eyes and he said with a smile, "We don’t need to take action against Song Qingshan ourselves."

"Oh?"

Hua Xiong looked confused.

Zhang Longwang got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the night scene and said with a smile, "The marriage between Xiao and Chen Families is imminent, and the woman from the Xiao Family who is about to marry into the Chen Family is involved with that young man Song Qingshan is desperately protecting."

Turning to Hua Xiong, he said with a smile, "If you were the head of the Chen Family, and you suddenly found out the woman your family was about to marry was fooling around with another man, what would you do?"

Enlightenment flashed in Hua Xiong’s eyes, immediately grasping Zhang Longwang’s meaning, and he said with a laugh, "If I were the head of the Chen Family, I would never let that young man off. And if Song Qingshan dared to interfere, I’d finish off Song Qingshan as well!"

Zhang Longwang said with a smile, "Now you know what to do, right?"

Hua Xiong nodded, stood up, and said, "Chairman, I’ll make the arrangements right away!"

"Good, go ahead!"

No sooner had Hua Xiong left than the secretary rushed in and reported, "Chairman, the Family Head of the Song Family, Song Qingshan, is here. He says he wants to visit you!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Longwang was surprised, not expecting Song Qingshan to come to see him at this critical moment.

"Trouble doesn’t come from an idle visit! This old geezer coming to see me so late, he’s definitely up to no good."

Zhang Longwang furrowed his brow, then said, "Let him come!"

Soon, a hearty laugh was heard, followed by the secretary ushering in Song Qingshan.

Song Qingshan laughed heartily and said, "Chairman Zhang, you wouldn’t be unwelcoming of a late-night visit, would you?"

Seeing Song Qingshan, Zhang Longwang was stunned for a moment. Just a while ago, at a meeting, he had seen Song Qingshan who was then confined to a wheelchair, his hair completely white, appearing frail as if on the brink of death.

But the Song Qingshan before him now seemed to be only in his fifties. Even if he had undergone plastic surgery, could there be such a drastic change?

"Haha, it’s my honor to have Patriarch Song visit the Black Dragon Commerce Association. I am too happy to even begin to express it, how could I not welcome you?"

Zhang Longwang also briefly marvelled before he laughed out loud and said, "Patriarch Song, please take a seat!"

Meanwhile, at the Huihuang Club, the largest entertainment venue in Jiangcheng City, it was bustling and lively as ever.

A series of luxury cars, each of considerable value, were parked in the club’s parking lot.

"Screech~"

At that moment, a red Maserati sped in, pulling off a sharp drift and came to a stable stop in front of the club entrance.

The driver’s side door opened, and a young figure stepped out.

"Huihuang Club!"

Qin Chuan looked up at the glowing signboard above the club entrance, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He flicked his finger, and a white whip shot through the air toward the signboard.

"Bang!"

A loud crash followed as the Huihuang Club’s signboard fell, shattering into several pieces.

"Kid, you’ve got some nerve, damaging the Huihuang Club’s sign. Are you tired of living?"

A middle-aged man in a suit charged out with a group of people, his face full of rage.

Qin Chuan couldn’t be bothered with idle talk. With a quick step, he appeared in front of the middle-aged man, and the several burly men with him turned pale at the sight.

"Tell me, where is Zhang Hui?"

Qin Chuan grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar and asked coldly.

At this moment, night life was just beginning, and the commotion here immediately attracted many onlooking guests.

Seeing Qin Chuan taking action, the onlookers were incredibly surprised.

"This young man has got some audacity to cause trouble here. The Huihuang Club is a part of the Black Dragon Commerce Guild’s entertainment sector; he’s as good as dead!"

"I remember not long ago, there were two regulars at the Huihuang Club who got into a brawl and ended up bloody. I haven’t seen them since, and I heard they were ’fed to the fish’ in the river that very night."

"This kid not only destroyed the Huihuang Club’s signboard but also dared to lay hands on Manager Chen; he’s definitely going to suffer a horrible death."

The onlooking guests murmured among themselves, looking at Qin Chuan with faces full of sympathy.

In their eyes, Qin Chuan was already a dead man.

The seven or eight burly men who had come out with Manager Chen all started to roar angrily: "Kid, let go of Manager Chen, or we’ll kill you."

Without even sparing them a glance, Qin Chuan’s hand, still clutching Manager Chen’s collar, suddenly tightened, lifting Manager Chen off the ground.

Manager Chen began to panic and said, "Kid, what are you trying to do? Put me down!"

"Boom!"

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Qin Chuan abruptly slammed Manager Chen onto the ground.

"Ah..."

Manager Chen let out a piercing scream, his face contorted in agony.

Qin Chuan stepped on Manager Chen’s chest and asked with a murderous look in his eyes, "I’ll ask you one last time, where is Zhang Hui?"
