Seeing Sun Guocheng ask him, Zhao Shouren immediately puffed out his chest, proudly saying, “Of course, our relationship with the Great Elder isn’t ordinary.

As for your investment, it depends on how sincere you are.

If your sincerity is enough, we are not unable to accept it.”

Sun Guocheng immediately responded with a smile, “How can that be, President Zhao?

We naturally have sincerity.

How about this?

In addition to a five-billion investment, we’ll also cede ten percent of the shares.

If you agree, we can sign the contract right now.”

He wasn’t worried that this would put him at a disadvantage; after all, a relationship with the Great Elder was worth far more than ten percent of the shares.

Zhao Shoucheng said with a smile, “Alright then, I’ll reluctantly accept your investment.”

Sun Guocheng immediately produced the contract.

Zhao Shouren looked at Lu Chuan with a self-satisfied expression and said, “How does it feel to see an investment that was practically in your hands get snatched away by me?

Are you so upset that you feel like dying?”

Lu Chuan’s face darkened; although he really wanted to tell Sun Guocheng that investing in the Tiannan Province Martial Arts Association might not be a wise decision, the other party clearly favored the Great Elder’s disciple, leaving him with little to say.

Sun Guocheng said with a smile, “It can’t be considered as sniping.

It’s just that we were lucky.

If you had come a bit later and we had signed the contract with the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association, that would have truly been a disaster.

Our initial decision to discuss cooperation with them was a mistake.”

Now that he chose the Tiannan Province Martial Arts Association, he naturally began to speak up for Zhao Shouren.

Then he turned to his partners and asked, “We’re giving our investment to the Tiannan Province Martial Arts Association and ceding ten percent of the shares, no one has any objections, right?

If not, I’ll sign the contract with President Zhao right now.”

Everyone shook their heads.

Then, a middle-aged man who had been standing silently behind the group with glasses on stepped forward and said, “Count me out of the investment in the Tiannan Province Martial Arts Association.

I’ll still invest my one billion in the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association.”

Everyone’s faces filled with surprise.

Even Lu Chuan couldn’t help but give the middle-aged man a glance, wondering why he insisted on this choice even knowing that investing in the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association would be a losing deal.

Sun Guocheng looked at the middle-aged man puzzledly and said, “Li Jun, didn’t you hear what President Zhao just said?

The Great Elder’s chief disciple will come to challenge Lu Chuan in three days.

At this time, investing in them would be like throwing your money away.”

“Moreover, the Tiannan Province Martial Arts Association has a connection with the Great Elder as well, which is a guaranteed profit-making deal.

You’ve invested in so many projects, you should be very clear about the pros and cons.”

Li Jun smiled and replied, “This matter isn’t about profit or loss.

I’m from Jiangbei, and when I was younger, I received a lot of help from fellow townsmen.

Now that I’ve succeeded, I should support the development of my hometown too.”

“Whether this one billion turns out to be a loss or a gain, I will give it to the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association as a way of fulfilling my original wish.”

Hearing this, Sun Guocheng immediately curled his lip and commented, “Li Jun, if you’re set on going through with this, we can’t stop you, but you need to think carefully.

By doing this, you’re essentially going against us.

If you regret it later, we won’t be able to keep including you in our plans.”

Li Jun walked over to where Lu Chuan and the others were and said with a smile, “Then I guess I have to stand on their side for the time being.”

Sun Guocheng looked on with contempt, feeling that Li Jun’s actions were as foolish as if his brain had taken in water.

The rest also shook their heads, deeming Li Jun’s choice to be ridiculous.

Given the current situation, investing in the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association was something only fools wouldn’t know would be a losing venture.

Lu Chuan, on the other hand, looked up at Li Jun with a newfound respect, considering him a person with sentiments and responsibility given his choice to still support his hometown in such circumstances.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Zou Baicheng, “How strong is Jun Wuxie?”

Zou Baicheng replied, “He should be a Level 3 expert of the Profound Realm, quite powerful.”

Lu Chuan then smiled, feeling assured in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Li Jun and said, “Mr.

Li, since you have chosen us, then I, the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association, will certainly not let you down.

Believe me, I will give you a surprise.”

Zhao Shouren burst into laughter and said, “Surprise?

I think it’s more likely to be a shock!”

“Lu Chuan, your end has come.

You should hurry up and take care of your last affairs in these three days.

As for the matter of accepting investment to build a martial hall, you might as well give up.

That would also be considered accumulating some virtue, so as to save the investor from losing all their capital!”

Sun Guocheng sneered and followed up, “Back then, I thought you were a promising youth, but now I see you as arrogantly ignorant.

I am now quite relieved that I didn’t cooperate with you, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to go to cry over my regrets.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Well, let’s just wait and see!”

Zhao Shouren didn’t plan to waste any more words.

He had already delivered the challenge from Jun Wuxie, and there was no need to continue wasting time here.

He turned his head to look at Sun Guocheng and the others, smiling as he said, “Let’s go back to the hotel to sign the contract, and by the way, I’ll introduce you to Jun Wuxie.”

Sun Guocheng and the others were all visibly excited and quickly agreed.

Afterward, the group left the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association.

Zou Baicheng sighed helplessly.

He had originally thought that everything in the association was going to get better, but now they had encountered this debacle, and his hopes slowly turned to despair.

He turned to look at Lu Chuan and asked, “Are you really going to accept Jun Wuxie’s challenge?”

Lu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right, merely a Level 3 of the Profound Realm, hardly worth mentioning.”

Zou Baicheng’s face was filled with astonishment, and for a moment he couldn’t tell if Lu Chuan was joking or really didn’t take Jun Wuxie seriously at all.

Lu Chuan looked at Li Jun and said, “Mr.

Li, it’s not too late for you to reconsider your investment.

I won’t make it difficult for you.

If you have no confidence in us, you can choose not to cooperate with us.”

Li Jun smiled and said, “What I like the most is young people full of confidence like you.

No matter what the outcome is, this time, I’m standing with Jiangbei.”

“Let’s sign the contract right now.

Consider this one billion as my gratuitous support for you.”

Lu Chuan gave a slight smile and didn’t refuse, immediately signing the contract with Li Jun.

He would prove through his actions that Li Jun’s choice was not mistaken!

The news of Jun Wuxie challenging Lu Chuan soon spread throughout Jiangbei.

Many people came following the news, wanting to enjoy the excitement.

Three days later.

The Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association training hall was packed with people, bustling with activity.

Everyone surrounded the training hall, leaving enough space for Lu Chuan and Jun Wuxie to fight.

Before long, Jun Wuxie, holding a long saber and exuding an exceedingly sharp aura, arrived at the training hall.

The crowd immediately cleared a path.

Jun Wuxie walked to the center of the training hall, looked around, and with a powerful voice shouted:

“Lu Chuan, come out and meet your death!”
