The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 454: The Devouring Empire

Ye Chenfeng shared his idea with Duan Nan, who readily agreed, considering that the antiviral drug for the mutated flu was formulated by Ye Chenfeng himself. It was only proper for Ye Chenfeng to have Tengtian Pharmaceutical Factory produce the medication.

After Duan Nan agreed, Ye Chenfeng immediately called Monkey and Li Pangzi in Capital City, instructing them to come to Capital City First People’s Hospital. Li Pangzi was in charge of Tengtian Pharmaceutical Factory’s development, while Monkey handled the growth of Innovative Technology Internet Company.

However, they needed to quickly produce a batch of the mutated flu medicine. Ye Chenfeng was worried that Li Pangzi couldn’t handle it alone, so he involved Monkey to support and help Li Pangzi for a while.

Once Li Pangzi and Monkey arrived at the meeting room of Capital City First People’s Hospital, Ye Chenfeng explained the situation to them in person. Li Pangzi was excited yet anxious as he said, "Boss, when Monkey and I planned to expand to Capital City, you told us to figure it out ourselves and that you’d only help as a last resort. If Tengtian Pharmaceutical Factory takes this order, we may not only secure our foothold in Capital City but perhaps throughout the entire Huaxia Country."

Seeing Li Pangzi act like he had gained an advantage, Ye Chenfeng nodded gravely, saying, "I almost forgot my own words. Li Pangzi, Monkey, both of you go back! Let the other pharmaceutical companies in Huaxia Country take this order!"

At Ye Chenfeng’s words, Li Pangzi became anxious. This was an unprecedented opportunity for Tengtian Pharmaceutical Factory. In a hurry, he said, "Boss, you really can’t do this to me. Besides, Tengtian Pharmaceutical is your business, and at best, I’m just working for you. Boss, please don’t pass up such a great chance!"

"Li Pangzi, look at how anxious you are. Do you think I would let this opportunity slip away? Tengtian Pharmaceutical will only grow bigger. We must remain calm when doing significant things. Originally, I intended for you to develop on your own in Capital City, but who plans better than fate? If a pie falls from the sky, should we not eat it?

"You must produce the first batch of medicine within one day. This time, let Monkey help you. While focusing on speed, the quality must not be compromised. Tengtian Pharmaceutical produces medicine, and if we make any substandard drugs, it could cost the buyer’s life. Here is the list of materials needed for the drug production, you two start working on it right away!"

After Ye Chenfeng gave some essential instructions to Monkey and Li Pangzi, he let them leave Capital City First People’s Hospital.

After a busy day, Ye Chenfeng suddenly remembered Qianqian should still be in the hospital ward, so he went to her room. Indeed, Ning Yuting was accompanying Qianqian in the ward!

Under Ye Chenfeng’s treatment, Qianqian was recovering rapidly. Qianqian, who had been lying in bed watching TV, blinked her large eyes when she saw Ye Chenfeng enter the room and affectionately called out, "Daddy, are you here to see Qianqian, huh? Mom said it was Daddy who cured Qianqian’s sickness? I knew Daddy Chenfeng was the most incredible daddy in the world."

Ye Chenfeng walked over to the bed and gently touched Qianqian’s head. Her lovable appearance was indeed endearing. "Qianqian, do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Qianqian’s head shook like a rattle, and she said, "Daddy, Qianqian feels very comfortable now! I can be discharged at any time. Can you come home with us today? Qianqian wants to hear you tell a bedtime story."

Looking at Qianqian’s innocent expression, Ye Chenfeng found it hard to refuse the little girl and could only agree, "Alright, Daddy will go home with you today and tell you a bedtime story."

"Daddy is the best, after you tell me the bedtime story, you have to sleep with Mommy. Daddy and Mommy are supposed to sleep together," Qianqian said with childlike candor.

On the side, Ning Yuting’s cheeks turned a rosy red, and she lightly bit her lip, saying, "Qianqian, you can’t be discharged yet. You’re staying here at the hospital today."

In a study room of a luxurious villa in Capital City, the light blue curtains had been drawn up, rendering the light in the room extremely dim. There were two men present; one was sitting on a leather chair, his face obscured by a gray mask that hid his features entirely. This man, whose age could not be discerned, also wore clothes of a gray hue.

Next to the man in the gray mask stood a heavily-built man in his thirties, similar in stature to a black bear, with his arm muscles bulging like solid rocks.

In front of these two men was a LCD TV, displaying live footage from villa number seventeen in the Spring Warmth Blooming residential area. The screen was playing the scene where Ye Chenfeng made the bullets stop.

The two men belonged to an international organization known as the Devouring Empire, a highly secretive group said to exert immense power globally. Even nations with considerable strength, it was rumored, would end up in disarray should they catch the Devouring Empire’s attention—testament to the organization’s formidable nature.

The man in the gray mask was called Hei Xin, the head of the Devouring Empire’s operations in Huaxia Country, and the muscular man standing beside him, resembling a bear, was named Hei Xiong, one of Hei Xin’s trusted aides.

"Interesting, very interesting! This young man named Ye Chenfeng really has some unusual skills. Not only can he stop bullets, but he also seems immune to the variant flu’s viral entity. It seems he holds many secrets. He passed this test," Hei Xin said with assurance in his magnetic voice. "If he passes the next one, he will be eligible to join our Devouring Empire. Such a talent, if I can make use of him, I believe I can go much further within the Empire."

Hei Xin, wearing the gray mask, had been the one to arrange the placement of the variant flu sample in Jess’s room, solely to test Ye Chenfeng’s capabilities. He had been observing Ye Chenfeng for a very long time and had only recently decided to test him, aiming to recruit him into the Devouring Empire.

"Hei Xiong, what do you think of this Ye Chenfeng?" Hei Xin, in a good mood, asked his burly companion.

The burly Hei Xiong replied without expression, "From my observations, Ye Chenfeng is defiant and may not join our Devouring Empire. However, his abilities are indeed extraordinary. If such talent were to join the ranks of the Devouring Empire in our Huaxia region, we would certainly reach new heights."

"Defiant? Hei Xiong, haven’t we seen many defiant talents over the years? In the end, don’t they humbly bow their heads to me, to the Devouring Empire?" Hei Xin spoke with full confidence. "Our influence spreads across the globe, and one day, the Devouring Empire will reign over this world. What use is Ye Chenfeng’s strength then? Moreover, he hasn’t passed my final test. Once he does, I will naturally find a way to make him join the Empire."

Hei Xiong nodded noncommittally, but his intuition told him that Ye Chenfeng was not an ordinary person and would not easily succumb to the Devouring Empire.

"By the way, Hei Xiong, in the coming days, we should also try to gather some people from the Ancient Martial World. The Ancient Martial World of Huaxia Country remains a force to be reckoned with," Hei Xin said thoughtfully.

"The people of the Ancient Martial World are all high and mighty. Haven’t we attempted before to get them to join the Devouring Empire? They completely ignored us. Convincing people from the Ancient Martial World will likely be very difficult," Hei Xiong spoke truthfully.

"Just do your best to persuade them, Hei Xiong," Hei Xin replied confidently. "Whether they join is their decision, but one day, those from the Ancient Martial World will willingly become part of the Devouring Empire." (To be continued.
