Immortality Starts From Making Money.-Chapter 357: Plans In Action.

One week later.

Inside an ordinary-looking building, a thick tension hung in the air. Standing before the building were two groups of men.

Each group stared at the other with fierce gazes. Their tattoos proclaimed their allegiance in a way that needed no words.

The group on the right belonged to the Black Spider Gang, while those on the left belonged to the Blood River Gang.

In the lower district, the lowest part of the city, these two were like tiny overlords. They ruled the underworld with iron fists.

Each carved its territory with blood.

More importantly, the two gangs were sworn enemies. They hated each other and fought almost every day.

To the lower district, they had become used to the death of gang members. It had become a normal sight.

But today, something strange was happening.

The two hateful gangs stood in front of an ordinary building in the lower district without slitting each other's throats.

Did the sun rise from the west?

Even though many found this puzzling, none dared question what was going on. Within a hundred-meter radius, it was quiet, devoid of any commoners.

The area was tightly sealed, guarded by the two gangs.

The tension was heavy.

Suffocating.

But inside the building, the atmosphere was different. A young man sat on the main seat, while the two gang leaders sat opposite each other at the long wooden table.

The young man was Mo Jian.

Looking at the two gang leaders who could not wait to start another brawl, he couldn't help but chuckle.

He knew these gang leaders were ruthless and merciless, but against overwhelming strength, their sense of reason would awaken.

And right now, it was awakened.

They were merely Peak Golden Core Experts, but against a Half-Step Nascent Soul Expert, they would be disposed of like rats.

"Young Master, why did you summon me?" the Blood River Boss asked in a slightly impatient voice. "You promised me life-changing opportunities, but what I see is treachery."

"If you plan to take me down, I won't go down without a fight." His stance was clear.

Staring across, the Black Spider Boss did not speak, but the sharp glint in his eyes spoke volumes of his inner thoughts.

Mo Jian looked at the gang leader with an amused smile. "Do you know why you've never developed your gang beyond the lower rung?"

He began in a commanding tone. "It is because you're too impatient."

"You lack foresight. You think by showing me your brave front you will seem worthy of being treated as a threat—an equal. You're stupid and do not deserve to be a leader."

He did not mince his words.

To recruit these retarded fools onto his plan, he needed to show them they were nothing and could be replaced at any time.

Hmm?

Both gang leaders flinched in their seats. They never expected to be ridiculed so blatantly.

Rage boiled in their hearts.

They were gang leaders who had seen much blood and many dead bodies. Many young masters had died by their blades.

But no one had dared ridicule them like this unknown young man.

Just as the Black Spider Gang Leader was about to speak, Mo Jian raised his hand.

"You don't speak when I'm speaking," he said authoritatively. "So keep quiet and listen."

Hmm.

The Black Spider Gang Leader closed his mouth and widened his eyes. Across him, the Blood River Gang Leader was equally stunned.

Although they did not know the backing of this Young Master, his noble aura was not something that could be faked.

Subconsciously, the two gang leaders felt their arrogance suppressed a bit as they became more inclined to listen to him.

"Now, where are we?" Mo Jian leaned forward and took a sip from his spirit tea to quench his thirst.

"I won't comment on your unruly behavior for now… So let's get straight to the reason I summoned you." His voice carried seriousness. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Do you want to change your life?" he asked.

For a moment, the question hung in the air. The two gang leaders did not react; their subtle movements did not escape Mo Jian's gaze.

"I know you've probably heard of such things before, and now you don't believe in free lunch. You're right—there is no free lunch in this world."

"You have to pay the price."

"I knew it!" the two gang leaders exclaimed inwardly, their fists clenching beneath the table, trying not to show their sneer.

As if reading their thoughts, Mo Jian continued. "But the price is different from what you two imagined."

"I won't ask you to kill for me or go on a dangerous mission, and I won't ask you to do something illegal, which I know you wouldn't mind."

"What I'm offering you is a chance to change your life for good. A chance to raise your heads high in the city. A chance to become famous and have your name on the lips of everyone in the city."

"And in the future, your name might spread beyond the city. Who knows?"

Listening to such a tempting offer, it would be a lie to say the two leaders were not tempted. They stared intently at him, waiting for him to reveal the opportunity he spoke of.

Seeing that they were already hooked, Mo Jian knew his plan had already succeeded.

Whoosh!

From his storage pouch, he took out two thin books and handed them to them.

The books were titled "HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL."

Looking at the title, the two gang leaders couldn't help but exchange a subtle glance; each could see the confusion on the other's face.

For a moment, Mo Jian did not interrupt them as he allowed them to go through the books.

A few minutes later, they finished and stared at him.

"This is a mortal game. How can this change our lives? Besides, the game is too strange; I've never seen or heard of anything like this before," the Blood River Boss said.

"Likewise, this is just too strange," the Black Spider Boss added.

"That's because it's new. And because it's new, your gangs will be the first team to bring it to the world and change your lives," Mo Jian explained.

"This is unlike any game you've ever known. This game does not require cultivation. Any cultivator who wants to play this game must have their cultivation sealed."

"Now imagine your gang playing against Wolf Skull Gang, and you manage to defeat them. What do you think would happen?" Mo Jian asked.

They swallowed hard.

The Wolf Skull Gang was one of the three major gangs in the city. Their power and fame rivaled many influential clans. If they defeated such a gang, they could already imagine the fame that would wash over them.

Mo Jian did not wait for them to speak as he struck while the iron was hot.

"Why do you think you cannot compare to the other gangs and influential clans? Because they have stronger cultivators than you. Right?"

"But what if we remove that barrier? That would level the playing field. Then you can reveal your true strength on the field."

"Even if they defeat you, you lose nothing. Your men will be alive and can continue to train for the next match. But don't forget, if one of your men performs outstandingly, you earn a huge sum from it."

"All the meager wealth both of you are fighting for can be earned in a single match without wasting your lives in a life-or-death battle."

"So tell me, is this not a life-changing opportunity?"
