Trillionaire's Slice of Life
Chapter 759

Chapter 759: Chapter 525: Mysterious Girl_2 Chapter 759: Chapter 525: Mysterious Girl_2 Of course, persuading the two sisters would not be an easy task, and the solemn expression on Lei Ting’s face also indicated the extraordinary nature of the girl by his side.

Chu Mo idly took a few bites of his rice, with many thoughts flashing through his mind, so he seemed somewhat distracted.

Suddenly, the number of students dining in the cafeteria dwindled, and Chu Mo put down his chopsticks.

Wu Kunpeng, who sat opposite him, had already finished eating, and as Chu Mo gently stood up, about a dozen bodyguards instantly went on alert around them.

When Chu Mo and Wu Kunpeng left the cafeteria, the tall girl with long hair, standing at least one meter eighty, was still hanging her head low, her entire person silent, leaning over the table.

“Mr.

Chu, that Qin Huanran…

...

has a very special identity, if I’m not mistaken, she probably harbors no small secret.

Does Mr.

Chu plan to stand by and watch, or to take the initiative to make contact?”

Walking along the corridors of Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy after coming out of the cafeteria, Wu Kunpeng was all smiles introducing the various facilities of the academy to Chu Mo; however, in Chu Mo’s ear, Lei Ting’s soft murmurs resounded, Chu Mo knew Lei Ting was speaking to him, and at that moment, Wu Kunpeng beside him changed the subject:

“Mr.

Chu, since we’ve just finished eating, how about we go to my office for a cup of tea?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo paused slightly, narrowing his eyes.

Since Lei Ting had repeatedly reminded him about the extraordinary aspect of the long-haired girl, this indicated that the girl in the cafeteria, named Qin Huanran, indeed held considerable secrets.

However, these had nothing to do with him.

If he chose to stand by and watch, his main task would still be to win over Wu Kunpeng, and as for the sisters with exceptional talents, he would pretend as though he had never encountered them.

Yet, elite talents are hard to come by; if one had not met them, so be it, but having met them and then just giving up seemed regrettable to Chu Mo.

He hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.

Resuming his steps with a smile back on his face, Chu Mo, accompanied by Wu Kunpeng, headed toward the teaching building.

They soon arrived at the principal’s office on the seventh floor, a very imposing place.

The spacious office, about sixty to seventy square meters, had an impressive desk near the window, and across from the desk was a set of sofas for visitors.

After entering the office, everyone else stayed outside consciously, even Wu Youyou, who wanted to come in, was stopped by a look from her father.

Evidently, Wu Kunpeng had some private matters to discuss with Chu Mo.

“President Chu, have you heard of Spirit Rhyme Tea?”

As he spoke, Wu Kunpeng took out a small box of tea leaves from a safe with noticeable seriousness.

Upon opening the delicate box, a unique and fresh aroma immediately wafted out.

Chu Mo slightly raised an eyebrow, not expecting to encounter this top-tier tea again after half a year.

With a smile now quite focused, Chu Mo said:

“Principal Wu’s methods are impressive, to still have stock of such a top-tier tea.

Last year, I happened to obtain a pound of Spirit Rhyme Tea, but I gave most of it to friends, and I’ve only tasted it a few times myself.

This top-tier tea has a fresh and strong flavor, an enduring aftertaste; it’s just a pity that in our entire Hua Country, aside from the eight major families that have a set allocation, ordinary forces cannot buy it, even with money.

I’ve heard that the market price for Spirit Rhyme Tea is one hundred thirty million a pound?

If Principal Wu has some connections, I’d like to buy three to five pounds to enjoy!”

Wu Kunpeng, carefully brewing the tea in front of him, had a trace of bitterness on his face as he gently shook his head:

“President Chu, you’re really putting me in a difficult position.

Even you, with your vast magical powers and heaven-reaching influence, have no means of obtaining it.

Where could a small household like mine find a way?

I only have a couple of ounces, given by a close friend with whom I share a life-and-death bond.

To a rough person like me, the taste is just so-so, but rarity creates value—it’s because the production is so limited that it’s been hyped to such an exorbitant price.

However, if President Chu wants it, I could try to reach out to my brother.

But as you know, such top-tier tea is a priceless treasure due to its scarcity; even if there’s some stock left, it might be pricier than the market rate—possibly costing at least one hundred fifty million and above.

Of course, even with that kind of money, it’s not guaranteed you could buy it.

I can only ask on behalf of President Chu, without making any promises!”

Upon hearing these words, Chu Mo’s eyes lit up ever so slightly.

For a long time, Chu Mo had inquired about the source of Spirit Rhyme Tea but had always hit a dead end.

This top-tier tea was completely controlled by the eight great families, and given Chu Mo’s opposition to the eight families, it was impossible for him to acquire any, no matter how much money he offered.

Although Chu Mo had limitless money, he lacked the connections, and even he had no means at his disposal.

While Wu Kunpeng did not make any promises, his confident demeanor clearly indicated he had some connections.

One hundred and fifty million was indeed higher than the market price, but for Chu Mo, if it weren’t for Wu Kunpeng, even offering two hundred million wouldn’t secure him any Spirit Rhyme Tea.

Seeing that Wu Kunpeng indeed had some connections, Chu Mo immediately responded with a smile:

“Please give this matter your special attention, Dean Wu.

Whatever amount your friend has, I’ll take it all.

One hundred and fifty million it is.

If there’s a chance, I’d be delighted if you could introduce me to your friend.

I’m quite eager to make the acquaintance of such a well-connected individual.”

Chu Mo’s expression was earnest.

Across from him, Wu Kunpeng’s tea-making motions paused momentarily.

He had expected Chu Mo to hesitate at the exorbitant price of one hundred and fifty million; after all, it was sheer extortion.

But Chu Mo didn’t even so much as furrow his brow, which made Wu Kunpeng realize once more just how terrifying the power behind Chu Mo was.

Placing two cups of brewed Spirit Rhyme Tea on the tea table, this top-tier tea had a market price of one hundred and thirty million per pound; the few leaves in this tiny cup were worth over a million.

Though Wu Kunpeng was the head of Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy and held significant status, to be frank, if the tea hadn’t been a gift from a friend, he could never have truly afforded to buy it.

Chu Mo picked up the tea cup in front of him and lightly lifted the lid.

Instantly, a faint, subtly strong unique fragrance wafted over.

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Despite his lack of profound study in the art of tea, he was still enchanted by this unique fragrance.

After a gentle sip, the lingering taste assured him this was indeed top-tier tea, the same as what he had tasted before at the Imperial Xuan residence.

However, Wu Kunpeng’s tea-making skills were somewhat lacking.

The tea did not have the same endless aftertaste as the one prepared by the tea master Chu Mo had specially invited, which made Chu Mo feel a slight pang of distress, such a waste of this million-dollar cup of top-tier tea.

As he savored the tea carefully, Chu Mo suddenly heard a faint sound at his ear—the voice of Lei Ting, the Great Grandmaster guarding the door.

This sound was audible only to Chu Mo.

Even Wu Kunpeng, who was seated beside him and was a half-step grandmaster, did not notice a thing.

Slightly pursing his lips, he set down the tea cup and said with a smile:

“Dean Wu, please excuse me for a moment, I need to use the restroom!”

“Please go ahead, Mr.

Chu!”

Chu Mo strode toward the office door.

As he approached, the door automatically opened, and he stepped directly out into the corridor.

As the office door closed behind him again, Lei Ting suddenly spoke:

“Mr.

Chu, I have exposed Qin Huanran’s true identity.

She seems to be planning to leave the martial arts academy now.

If we go after her immediately, we can still catch up.

If we delay any longer, we might let her escape!”

Chu Mo nodded lightly.

Having already made up his mind, he did not hesitate and simply replied:

“Let’s go and have a look!”

As the words fell, a faint, misty aura suddenly appeared around Lei Ting.

Innate True Qi surged forth, and Lei Ting, who had appeared quite ordinary up until then, now seemed immensely imposing.

“Mr.

Chu, my apologies!”

As the soft words fell, Lei Ting grabbed Chu Mo’s wrist and, in the next moment, with a sudden exertion of force, the Great Grandmaster burst forth with full power.

Almost instantly, leaving behind a faint afterimage, the figures of Lei Ting and Chu Mo vanished from the corridor.
