Chapter 705: 705 She also wants to meet this Extreme Path Daoist [Chapter 1]

"Extreme Path?" Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "As far as I remember, they’ve always played the positive role at the Global Center, robbing the rich to give to the poor, handling things that Heaven-reaching Tower ignores."

"Yes." Christine rubbed her temples, "That’s why I’m puzzled about why they’d specifically choose to compete with me for the medicinal herbs. I don’t really care about the money, it’s just that collecting these herbs has been incredibly difficult."

Many of the medicinal herbs have disappeared from Shenzhou, and even at the Global Center, they aren’t found everywhere.

Even if given another six months, she still wouldn’t be able to find herbs of better age.

"If this were something I needed for myself, I’d just let it go." Christine frowned, "But this is for you, and there’s no way I can back down."

Ye Wanlan’s heart stirred slightly.

Christine dialed the phone again and said to the woman, "They’ve increased the price, so we’ll increase ours too. These herbs must get into my hands."

"Miss Christine, this is exactly what I wanted to inform you about." the woman’s voice was somewhat anxious, "After they paid, they took the herbs right away, and now it’s too late for us to increase the offer."

Christine was thoroughly furious, but she managed to maintain a calm voice: "Then negotiate directly with the Extreme Path people. I’m willing to pay double to buy the herbs back."

To her, if money couldn’t buy useful things, then it was useless.

"Yes, Miss Christine!" The woman paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "What if they won’t sell, should we...?"

"Hmm, go find Vlad and have him immediately purchase new weapons from the International Strategic Studies Institute." Christine said coldly, "Even if we’re going to steal something, we should consider whose we’re stealing!"

After the call ended, Christine was still simmering with anger.

"Alright, don’t be upset." Ye Wanlan wrapped her arm around Christine’s shoulder, "The Extreme Path isn’t entirely made up of good people, and since these herbs are for me, we must get them back."

Christine sighed: "I just received news that the leader of the Extreme Path appeared and met with the Sky Tower Master, making it hard for me not to suspect whether they’ve struck some kind of deal."

"The Extreme Path leader?" Ye Wanlan squinted her eyes, "Interesting, that makes me want to meet them all the more."

She speculated that this Extreme Path leader was likely a person from Shenzhou, which had always intrigued her.

"Okay." Christine nodded, "We’ll return to the Global Center now."

When Professor Yuwen and Academician Wu learned that Ye Wanlan was leaving again overnight, they felt a bit reluctant.

"Wanlan, you’ve only been back for half a day, and you’re leaving already?" Professor Yuwen tried to persuade her, "You’ve had a long journey, why not rest a bit more."

"I have very important matters to deal with, so I can’t stay." Ye Wanlan smiled, "Professor Yuwen, Old Wu, I’ll come to visit you during the winter break."

The plane took off, quickly disappearing into the night.

This plane utilized the latest aviation technology from the International Strategic Studies Institute, allowing it to remain invisible during flight to avoid radar detection.

Eight hours later, the plane returned to the continent of the Global Center.

The sole visible structure in the sky was the Heaven-reaching Tower.

At this moment, inside the Heaven-reaching Tower.

"Tower Master, there’s a piece of news, not sure if it’s good." Modi slightly bowed to the Sky Tower Master who stood in front of the mural.

"Oh?" The Sky Tower Master did not turn around but smiled, "Good news is good news, how could there be news that even you don’t know whether it’s good or not?"

"The Extreme Path leader intercepted Christine’s goods with a higher bid." Modi said, "I’m unsure whether both parties will choose to back down or to fight, which is why I’m not sure if it’s good news."

The Sky Tower Master was evidently surprised as well, raising an eyebrow: "What goods made them fight over it?"

"It’s a batch of medicinal herbs." Modi said, "The age is quite good."

"Very interesting." The Sky Tower Master said leisurely, "Since there’s a conflict of interest, frictions between the two parties are inevitable, but we can exacerbate this rift."

Modi’s gaze shifted: "I understand what you mean, Master."

"Understand, then this matter is yours to handle." The Sky Tower Master looked up, continuing to observe the mural, speaking softly, "These ignorant mortals always dream of challenging the gods, but they don’t know that gods can destroy the world with a mere wave."

The mural depicted humans climbing the Heaven-reaching Tower, attempting to reach the realm where gods reside.

But with a sweep of an angel’s hand, countless people fell off the tower, shattered to pieces.

Below the Heaven-reaching Tower lay splintered white bones.

"I’ll take my leave." Modi dared not interrupt, quietly withdrawing.

Meanwhile, at the Extreme Path Headquarters.

The hall was filled with the recently acquired medicinal herbs, totaling one hundred and eighty-eight boxes.

"The boss must surely have someone outside!" The Left Protector pondered deeply, "The boss has never been interested in medicinal herbs before."

The Right Protector agreed: "And he even competed with the President of the World’s First Bank for them, hissing, I must admit, in terms of wealth, it’s definitely her."

The Financial Queen, capable of inciting a global financial storm at any moment, indeed wielded a flow of funds that other forces feared.

So, this time, the Extreme Path managing to acquire the goods from Christine thrilled them immensely.

The Right Protector suddenly asked: "Hey, Old Zuo, do you think she’ll raise the price again?"

"Even if she does, we won’t sell." The Left Protector said, "Now that the goods are in our hands, unless they send someone to snatch them directly."

"Makes sense." The Right Protector nodded, "We’re not as wealthy as the Constans Family, but we’re better at fighting."

He took out his phone to report to Yan Tingfeng.

[Xiao You]: Boss, all the medicinal herbs have arrived at the headquarters, awaiting your command.

[Daoist Leader]: Mm.

"But we’ve seized the President of the World’s First Bank’s herbs, she definitely won’t let this go easily." The Left Protector added, "We must make preparations."

At the Constans Family.

Ye Wanlan put on a mask and followed behind Christine.

"Miss Christine!" Seeing her, the woman immediately came forward, "Mr. Vlad has already completed the weapon order, awaiting your instructions."

Christine asked, "What about the Extreme Path side?"

"They..." The woman looked troubled, "They said they won’t give up the herbs no matter what."

Ye Wanlan said casually: "Then let’s just take them back."

The woman gave her a surprised glance.

"Miss Christine!" A young deacon appeared at this moment, with a grave expression, "The Extreme Path people have attacked!"

"What?!" The woman couldn’t help but shout, "They stole our goods and still dare to attack us?"

Ye Wanlan turned around immediately: "Take me there."

The young deacon, without any hesitation, immediately took Ye Wanlan outside.

"Miss Christine, the Extreme Path has gone too far!" The woman gritted her teeth in anger, "We might as well blow up their territory!"

Christine’s expression was cold: "Let’s first see what this is all about."

Outside, several gunshots rang out.

A group of people wearing Extreme Path uniforms entered the Constans Family, already clashing with the guards.

In the shadows, Modi smiled faintly.

As long as someone dies in the Constans Family, and it’s the Extreme Path who did it, the two sides will enter a state of endless enmity.
