Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Yuanhai Shu Family

Inside a luxurious private room at the Youyun Club, a handsome young man in a white suit sat with his legs crossed, holding a glass of Seven-Colored Honey Wine. He looked down on Ma Jin and Hong Nan with an air of arrogance.

The young man in the white suit said arrogantly, "Hong Nan, have you made your decision?"

Hong Nan’s face was grim as he said, "Young Master Chen, you’re demanding seventy percent of Phantom God Winery’s shares right off the bat, without paying a single cent. Isn’t that a bit too outrageous? That’s not how business is done."

The young man in the white suit was Chen Keyi, the son of Chen Daojue, the chairman of Yinglin Group. Yinglin Group was one of the largest corporations in Lei Jiang City, with assets exceeding ten billion and an immense network of connections.

Although Phantom God Winery’s annual profits also exceeded ten billion, most of it was used by Shu Feng to purchase various Cultivation Resources. Its on-paper assets simply couldn’t compare to Yinglin Group’s.

Chen Keyi shot Ma Jin a smirk and said, "Heh, am I outrageous? Ma Jin, do *you* think I’m being outrageous?"

Ma Jin forced a smile. "Young Master Chen, Phantom God Winery belongs to Shu Feng. He’s the top freshman at Shuijing High School!"

Chen Keyi sneered. "The top freshman at Shuijing High School? What’s that worth? My Chen Family is a Noble Family. Taking seventy percent of Phantom God Winery is me already giving you face. If you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for getting rough!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ma Jin’s brow furrowed slightly, and he seemed to age a dozen years in an instant.

The Chen Family was a Noble Family in the Qianyuan Republic. Their family was filled with powerful experts, boasting as many as three at the Great Spirit Master Level. Legend had it that the Chen Family’s old ancestor had even advanced to the Spirit Sect. The Lei Jiang Branch of the Guardian Flame was no match for them at all.

If the Chen Family weren’t somewhat wary of the Guardian Flame, they wouldn’t have even left Hong Nan with thirty percent.

Phantom God Winery’s monthly profits were as high as a billion-plus, a cash cow that the Chen Family simply couldn’t resist.

Seeing this, Hong Nan’s heart sank. ’Yinglin Group is that powerful? Even Ma Jin can’t handle them?’

Phantom God Winery’s terrifying profits had naturally made many people in Lei Jiang City red-eyed with envy. Quite a few had designs on Phantom God Winery, scheming to swallow this cash cow whole. Ma Jin had always been the one to step in and send them packing.

Hong Nan was a very sharp man. The moment he saw Ma Jin’s expression, he knew the situation was dire.

"Not paying a cent, yet you want to take seventy percent of my Phantom God Winery’s shares. Who gave you the goddamn nerve to make a move on the Yuanhai Shu Family’s property?"

An icy voice came from outside the room. Shu Feng, dressed in a white casual outfit, strode in and swept a cold glance over Chen Keyi.

Chen Keyi sneered contemptuously. "The Yuanhai Shu Family? How ridiculous. A mere poor kid from Lei Jiang City dares to impersonate a Noble Family’s son. Are you tired of living?"

The Chen Family had been extremely cautious in their plot against Phantom God Winery. Only after numerous probes and investigations had they clearly determined Shu Feng’s background.

A child of the Lower Class with no background, who had luckily awakened as a Spiritual Power User, was no match for a Spiritualist Noble Family like the Chens.

"I’ll pay 100 million for ninety percent of your Chen Family’s assets. Call your old man. If he doesn’t agree, you’ll be carried out of here today! A mere Noble Family daring to provoke an actual Noble Family? You’re courting death."

Shu Feng sat down brazenly right in front of Chen Keyi and sneered.

The smile vanished from Chen Keyi’s face. Vaguely sensing danger, he pulled out his phone and made a call. "Dad, it’s me! That kid Shu Feng is claiming to be from the Yuanhai Shu Family. I’m not sure what to make of it!"

「Inside the chairman’s office at Yinglin Group.」

"The Yuanhai Shu Family? What an idiot. There’s no Yuanhai Shu Family among the Gate Valve Noble Families of the Qianyuan Republic. The guy is just bluffing."

Chen Daojue sneered. As the head of a Noble Family, he had thoroughly studied the Qianyuan Republic’s register of Heroes and was very clear on which Noble Families could not be easily provoked. He had never heard of any Yuanhai Shu Family.

However, to be cautious, after hanging up, Chen Daojue still logged onto the Congress website and typed in the words "Yuanhai Shu Family".

"Yuanhai Shu Family, Ninth-Grade Noble Family, Patriarch: Shu Feng!"

"What? He’s actually the son of a Noble Family? No, he’s the Patriarch of a Noble Family? He founded a Noble Family! He’s the founder of the Yuanhai Shu Family!"

The moment Chen Daojue saw the display on the Congress website, his pupils contracted. A flash of terror crossed his eyes, and he scrambled madly for the phone beside him.

「Back at the Youyun Club.」

Chen Keyi casually tossed his phone aside, looked at Shu Feng, and sneered. "Shu Feng, you really are an idiot, making up a non-existent Noble Family. The Yuanhai Shu Family? No such family exists. Impersonating a Noble Family is a heinous crime. You’re a dead man! Get on your knees and beg me for mercy right now, and you might still have a chance. Break your own legs, and I can pretend none of this ever happened."

Shu Feng looked at Chen Keyi with a strange expression.

Suddenly, a phone rang. Chen Keyi picked it up. "Dad, what’s up?"

Chen Daojue’s terrified shriek came through the phone: "The Yuanhai Shu Family really is a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, and Shu Feng is its Patriarch! You haven’t been disrespectful to him, have you?"

Chen Keyi’s face instantly turned deathly pale. He trembled, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Shu Feng. He forced a smile. "Brother Shu Feng, everything before was just a misunderstanding! I apologize! It’s all my fault! You’re a bigger man than me, please don’t hold it against me! I’ll drink this cup first as a sign of respect!"

Chen Keyi picked up a glass of hard liquor, downed it in one go, and then coughed repeatedly.

Shu Feng said flatly, "Tell your father to get his ass over here to see me. If he doesn’t show up in half an hour, he can come collect your corpse."

"Yes! Yes!"

Face pale, Chen Keyi nodded and bowed, his hands trembling as he hurriedly made another phone call.

Twenty-five minutes later, Chen Daojue strode directly into the private room.

"You little bastard, how dare you offend Lord Shu Feng! I’ll beat you to death! I’ll beat you to death, you little bastard!"

As soon as Chen Daojue entered the room, he rushed forward and slapped Chen Keyi across the face again and again, knocking out several of his teeth.

Ma Jin witnessed this, his heart filled with shock. ’A Noble Family! *This* is a Noble Family! That kid Shu Feng actually became the Patriarch of a Noble Family. It’s unbelievable!’

Chen Daojue was considered a major figure in Lei Jiang City, yet in front of Shu Feng, the Patriarch of a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, he adopted such a subservient posture. It showed Ma Jin once again the power wielded by those from the Noble Families.
