Chapter 521: Chapter 0521: Bring Out the Substitute

"As long as he can develop an alternative to the detoxification liquid, then the thirty million will have been well spent."

Sun Zhuangjia said expressionlessly, "I’m just afraid that after taking the money, they still won’t achieve our desired results. Then the money will have been wasted."

"Yes! However, although thirty million is a lot, it is still much cheaper compared to our previous investments."

Jack glanced at Sun Zhuangjia and coldly snorted with implied meaning.

Sun Zhuangjia was left speechless. Previously they had invested hundreds of millions, yet Sun Kai’s team hadn’t made any progress; that was truly wasted money.

"Let’s not complain anymore." Seeing the mood was off, Qin Aotian hastily spoke up, consoling,

"It’s only thirty million. If we can develop an alternative product this time, we could be making it back in a few days, and if all goes well, it might not take more than a month or two for us to recover all our previous investments. From then on, it will be a constant influx of money, and we’ll all get rich together."

Upon hearing this, Jack and Sun Zhuangjia stopped talking, as the thought of the previous crazy profits from the detoxification liquid filled them with hope for the future.

Although Qin Aotian was playing the good guy, he was actually feeling quite smug inside. This time inviting Long Duba only cost him ten million; if split between the three families, it would only be a few million each. However, Qin Aotian had told Jack and Sun Zhuangjia that it would cost thirty million, ten million per family.

The ten million from the Qin Family naturally went to inviting Long Duba, while the money from the Sun Family and the Yang Family ended up in the Qin Family’s pocket.

All things considered, Qin Aotian not only didn’t incur any losses this time, but also made an extra ten million, completely taking Jack and Sun Zhuangjia for fools.

Soon, the train arrived, and Long Duba, dressed in a grey long gown, along with Long Yi and Long Er in suits, walked out of the station.

"Here they come."

Qin Aotian’s eyes lit up, and he immediately led people to greet them.

"Brother Long, long time no see!" Qin Aotian greeted Long Duba enthusiastically.

"Brother Qin, it has been a while."

Long Duba casually clasped his hands, his attitude very arrogant, "Are these all your people?"

Seeing Long Duba’s demeanor, Jack felt annoyed, muttering under his breath,

"An arrogant Nine-star Martial Artist; he really isn’t afraid of lightning striking him."

"Master, don’t be careless." Jin Gang quickly warned,

"The people from Poison Sect are skilled in using poison. Their cultivation might not be high, but their Poison Skill is extremely terrifying, and besides, Poison Sect has Four or Five-star experts in residence. They are not to be underestimated."

"I understand." Jack nodded, though he wasn’t too pleased inside, disliking those who only knew how to ambush with poison from hiding places.

Sun Zhuangjia’s attitude wasn’t good either; so-called colleagues are rivals. Since Poison Sect had been oppressing the Sun Family in the poison product market, he also felt very annoyed with Long Duba.

"Let me introduce you; this is Young Master Yang Wei of the Yang Family, also known as Jack."

Qin Aotian promptly introduced him enthusiastically, "And this is Young Master Sun Zhuangjia of the Sun Family."

"I see, I see."

Long Duba, with his nostrils facing the sky, scanned the crowd, then raised his left hand and moved his fingers.

Expressionless, Long Yi immediately stepped forward, opened the suitcase in his hand, and took out a black porcelain bottle.

"What is this?" Qin Aotian asked curiously.

"I see that some of you seem to scorn me, so I’ll first show you a little of what I can do."

Long Duba glanced at Jack and Sun Zhuangjia and explained, "After receiving the message from Brother Qin, I casually researched this substitute for the Detoxification Liquid. Although it’s not as powerful as the Detoxification Liquid, it’s quite effective for regular poisoning and diarrhea. If we study it further in the future, it’s possible not only to develop a substitute for the Detoxification Liquid but also to produce something even more miraculous."

"Really?"

Sun Zhuangjia and Jack were skeptical. Sun Kai had researched for many days and hadn’t figured it out, yet Long Duba managed to do it casually?

"Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know if you try it." Long Duba snorted coldly and said indifferently:

"I’ve been sitting in the car for hours. I’m tired, find me a place to stay; I need to rest. You also take this time to test the effectiveness of my product. I hope that the next time we meet, you can drop your disdain and contempt; otherwise, there’s no need for us to cooperate."

"Understood, understood." Qin Aotian nodded repeatedly, had the porcelain bottle put away, and then warmly escorted Long Duba to the car.

Shortly thereafter, Long Duba and his party were settled in a luxurious suite at a hotel opposite the Minghuang Building, and Qin Aotian and others hurriedly returned to their company to conduct experiments.

A few hours later, Qin Aotian, Jack, and Sun Zhuangjia stood at the doorway of the company’s laboratory, eagerly watching Sun Kai walk out.

"How is it?" As soon as Sun Kai stepped out of the door, several people crowded around him.

"It’s miraculous, absolutely miraculous!" Sun Kai said excitedly:

"The product you guys brought back is almost as good as the Detoxification Liquid. If it can indeed be improved further, it would definitely be a Divine Medicine."

"No way?"

Sun Zhuangjia’s expression darkened, surprised that Long Duba had actually managed to produce something comparable to the Detoxification Liquid.

"That’s great, no wonder that guy was so arrogant. It looks like he really is capable."

Jack was very happy. If they could mass produce this medicine, they would be able to recoup their investment and even make a huge profit.

"Hahaha, I knew this method was feasible; if only we’d sought out the Poison Sect from the beginning."

Qin Aotian laughed heartily.

"We can finally make money now."

After calming his emotions, Sun Zhuangjia also laughed. Although he was annoyed, as long as they could make money, nothing else mattered.

After the joy, Sun Zhuangjia’s eyes twinkled, and squinting, he asked:

"Sun Kai, do you have a way to analyze the components of this product and produce it ourselves?"

"This... I’m sorry, this new product, like the Detoxification Liquid, is made from a special ingredient mix. Only by mastering the production technology similar to that of the Detoxification Liquid can we replicate this."

Sun Kai shook his head regretfully.

"Damn."

Sun Zhuangjia cursed discontentedly. If they could produce this on their own, they could completely cut Long Duba out, but now they would still have to be beholden to him.

Qin Aotian and Jack knew Sun Zhuangjia’s thoughts, but they didn’t mind because as long as there was a new product to replace the Detoxification Liquid, they could continue making money, regardless of whether it was Long Duba or the Sun Family responsible for the product.

"Alright, everyone is clear now, Long Duba really has the ability to make our company profitable, so no matter the reason, from now on, we must treat him with more respect and definitely cannot afford to offend this God of Wealth."

Qin Aotian concluded in the end.
