Chapter 108: Chapter 106: Dealing with You

"What a joke! Someone who resorts to petty tricks dares to come to us for the casino? It’s laughable to the extreme. Wanjin Casino is the Zhang Family’s property, and it will be for a lifetime. We’ll never hand it over to anyone!" Zhang Jiuling simply didn’t care about Ye Feng, let alone the notion of transferring the casino—that was even more impossible.

"Grandpa, but that Ye Feng, that Ye Feng is a Grandmaster! A Grandmaster must not be deceived, must not be insulted. We can’t provoke him, otherwise, our Zhang Family will definitely suffer his retaliation!" Zhang Xin said anxiously.

"Grandmaster?" Upon hearing Zhang Xin’s words, Zhang Jiuling’s seven guests all frowned.

"You’re saying that kid is a Grandmaster?" Zhang Jiuling felt incredulous and didn’t believe Zhang Xin’s words.

At this moment, Zhang Jiuling also became nervous. He knew very well what it meant to be a Grandmaster. Why those third-rate tycoons in Longdu remained third-rate, struggling to enter the second-rate tier—as challenging as ascending to Heaven.

The most important reason was that they didn’t have a Grandmaster at the helm. Without a Grandmaster, they were a cut below the second-rate tycoons; even those without a Grandmaster’s support, at least, had the deep support of a Grandmaster.

If they offended a Grandmaster, then even the top four families in Lin Tian City would be toppled.

"Yes, Family Head, that Ye Feng is a Grandmaster. It’s unwise for us to fight him!" Sun Zhong thought of Ye Feng’s incredibly powerful flick of his finger, and he felt an immense fear in his heart.

Ye Feng snapped his fingers unarmed, and the burst of energy that resulted was probably more terrifying than ordinary firearms.

"Impossible!" At this moment, the leader among Zhang Jiuling’s seven guests, a middle-aged man, stood up.

"Sun Zhong, you say that kid is a Grandmaster, may I ask how old is he?" the man asked.

Zhang Jiuling spoke with a furrowed brow, "Sun Zhong, just answer whatever Mr. Chu Xuan asks you!"

Sun Zhong nodded, "That Ye Feng looks very young. I have looked up his information before. He’s an orphan, adopted by Lin Zhen, and this year, he’s about to turn twenty-six."

"That’s impossible, that kid can’t possibly be a Grandmaster!" that Martial Artist named Chu Xuan was utterly certain.

After hearing Chu Xuan’s words, Zhang Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Mr. Chu Xuan, why are you so sure?"

Chu Xuan spoke indifferently, "Grandmasters are incredibly rare. To step into the realm of Grandmasters, one must comprehend the True Intent of Martial Arts, which is elusive and filled with difficulty on the path of enlightenment. It’s not something one can achieve just by saying so.

In our Martial Arts World, the youngest Grandmaster in nearly two hundred years was the number one genius of a reclusive Martial Artist sect. He only entered the realm of Grandmaster at the age of thirty-eight. Even during the era of Dragon Country when Martial Artists were prevalent, there was no record of anyone entering the realm of Grandmaster before the age of thirty.

That Ye Feng is, at most, twenty-five or twenty-six. He absolutely cannot be a Grandmaster!"

Hearing Chu Xuan’s words, Zhang Jiuling said, "Did you hear that, Sun Zhong? Since he’s not a Grandmaster, there’s nothing to fear. Tomorrow, send ten million to the Lin Group as a gesture of goodwill. As for the casino matter, it’s out of the question!"

Sun Zhong hesitated, worriedly said, "But Elder, I personally witnessed Ye Feng’s True Essence being unleashed. With just a flick of his finger, it was like a white chain that pierced through the enemy’s shoulder!"

"Hmph!" Chu Xuan sneered disdainfully, "That’s nothing but a bluff, these so-called exertions of True Essence—I can do that too!"

As he said this, Chu Xuan put a finger into a teacup, casually channeled his Inner Strength, and quickly flicked out a drop of water.

The water droplet shot out like a white chain, striking against the wall.

"Bang!" A loud noise ensued, and a fist-sized hole appeared on the wall.

"See for yourself, he just used the power of water. Any Martial Artist at the Great Perfection peak of Inner Strength can do this!" Chu Xuan said indifferently.

"Haha, did you hear that, Sun Zhong? You’ve been fooled. Go deliver ten million tomorrow, and this matter will be settled!" Zhang Jiuling laughed.

Chu Xuan said indifferently, "Elder Zhang, we’ll be staying here for a few more days. You can rest assured. With us, the Seven Stars of Lin Nan here, you need not fear anyone. Together, the seven of us, even against an ordinary Grandmaster, we have the confidence to defeat them!"

"That’s good! Then, I’ll leave it all to you!" Zhang Jiuling was brimming with confidence, trusting Chu Xuan and his comrades completely.

"Is it really okay?" Sun Zhong still felt extremely uneasy inside. He didn’t know why, but though Chu Xuan’s demonstration was very similar to Ye Feng’s, it didn’t seem nearly as powerful.

The next day, Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu went to the company to work as usual.

By noon, Ye Feng saw that Lin Shiyu looked listless.

Ye Feng asked curiously, "What’s wrong, not happy?"

Lin Shiyu shook her head, "No..."

Ye Feng knew that Lin Shiyu must be troubled by something, but she was unwilling to say it.

Ye Feng then went to ask Wu Kexin, "Wu Kexin, Mr. Lin seems to be in a bad mood today, doesn’t he?"

Wu Kexin shook her head, uncertainly responding, "It seems to be because the company has been investing in too many projects recently, facing some difficulties on her own part. There is a project that cannot move funds at the moment, and it may have to be abandoned..."

"Oh?" Ye Feng felt surprised.

Then Ye Feng took the initiative to go to Lin Shiyu’s office. At that moment, Lin Shiyu was sitting in her office, lost in thought, clearly troubled by some vexing matter.

And when Ye Feng entered Lin Shiyu’s office, she did not even notice his arrival.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Feng asked.

"Ye Feng! How did you come here, and you didn’t even knock. No, it’s nothing. Do you need something?" Lin Shiyu asked.

Ye Feng shook his head, "Tell me, what’s the matter."

Ye Feng’s gaze seemed to see through Lin Shiyu, making her feel guilty as if no lies or cover-ups could escape Ye Feng’s eyes.

Lin Shiyu had no choice but to say, "There’s been a bit of a financial issue with the company, and we might have to give up a project."

Ye Feng furrowed his brow, "Didn’t I win back the Zhang Family Casino? The casino is now yours; moving some funds shouldn’t be a problem for you at all. What is really going on?"
