Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 997
Chapter 997: Chapter 641: The Hermit Expert Chapter 997 -641: The Hermit Expert The Dragon family’s young heir, Long Huan Yu, had successfully completed the S-class mission from the Longevity Club, and with the mission accomplished, the White Grandmaster also made a deal with Chu Mo—as long as Chu Mo could successfully acquire a Rejuvenation Elixir, he would do his utmost to assist Qin Lan in her breakthrough, reaching the realm of an upper Great Grandmaster.
With all tasks completed, the Dragon family’s young heir had no heart to stay any longer.
Eager to return and report on his mission, he declined Chu Mo’s kind offer to spend more time together and chose to leave immediately.
Before sending the Dragon family’s young heir off, Chu Mo specifically gave him a small gift.
Naturally, there were not many gifts that could interest and be willingly accepted by Long Huan Yu, but the one Chu Mo sent was something he had no reason to refuse.
What Chu Mo sent over, through his men, were those four youths encountered at the Dio Cafe, one of whom had managed to swindle a million from Long Huan Yu and even splashed him with coffee.
...
In the end, these youths took the money and failed to keep their agreement; they turned around and published photos of Long Huan Yu negotiating with the Family Head, Long Zhentian.
If it weren’t for Chu Mo utilizing Shi Yuan Entertainment’s resources to handle the situation promptly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
In short, Long Huan Yu harbored bone-deep hatred for these youths, and now that Chu Mo had captured them, Long Huan Yu would surely give them a good thrashing.
Chu Mo specifically instructed that as long as it didn’t lead to loss of life, Long Huan Yu could deal with them as he pleased, and Chu Mo would smooth over any issues that arose.
Indeed, when the four youths were eventually thrown out, each had been ‘skinned’ to an extent.
Yet, even so, the four youths, now fully aware of whose wrath they had incurred, dared not make a sound and all chose to swallow their grievances.
Having completed his mission and vented his frustrations, the Dragon family’s young heir departed feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

It seemed that, to deepen his relationship with Chu Mo, he specifically shared a piece of information with him.
According to Long Huan Yu, based on intelligence controlled by the Dragon family, there was a reclusive old master within the city, supposedly in possession of intelligence regarding the Rejuvenation Elixir.
As the preeminent existence among the eight great families, with assets amounting to 3.7 trillion, the Dragon family had existed for hundreds of years.
Their intelligence network could be said to permeate the entirety of Hua Country, and even many parts of the world where they held influence.
This was far beyond what a new power like Chu Mo’s, which had only been established for a year or two, could compare to.
Since the information came from the Dragon family, Chu Mo believed it was by no means a groundless rumor; there must be some gains to be had.
After witnessing the terrifying strength of the White Grandmaster, Chu Mo urgently wanted to enhance the fighting power beside him.
At present, he had a total of three Great Grandmasters with him, and among them, Jiang Dingnan—one of the top ten Grandmasters—could only occasionally be called upon to help, most likely not refusing out of face for Jiang Rourou.
But, generally speaking, this aged elder could not be relied upon routinely.
On the other hand, Lei Ting had only recently become a Great Grandmaster, and his Innate True Qi was stabilized by Jiang Dingnan.
In the short term, it was highly unlikely that Lei Ting could advance, but Lei Ting himself was a martial fanatic; his greatest dream was to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, for which he would willingly cast everything aside.
However, Lei Ting was so engrossed in the martial path, trusting only in his own strength, that he had no interest in enhancing his power with external help.
Such enhancements often came with an indelible drawback: a weak foundation.
With Lei Ting’s character, he would certainly train step by step in an orderly fashion.
For Lei Ting to break through to become a mid-tier Great Grandmaster, even by conservative estimates, it would take him at least fifteen to twenty years.
And the one who could truly ensure Chu Mo’s safety and wield formidable power was only Qin Lan.
Qin Lan herself possessed the strength of a mid-tier Great Grandmaster, and the technique she cultivated was the exceedingly special Nine Revolutions Divine Technique.
She had rebuilt her foundation nine times in the early stages, making it exceptionally solid.
After becoming a mid-tier Great Grandmaster, for Qin Lan to advance further would also require over ten years, dependent on fate.
Yet, she had previously consumed a Rejuvenation Elixir, which stabilized the Innate True Qi within her body even more through her cultivation.
Chu Mo’s simplest and most effective method to enhance his own safety was to elevate Qin Lan’s strength.
If Qin Lan could break through from a mid-tier to an upper-tier Great Grandmaster like the White Grandmaster, then Chu Mo’s safety would be as solid as a rock.
With such a safeguard, even the entire world could scarcely touch him.
Therefore, upon receiving news about the Rejuvenation Elixir from the Dragon family’s young heir, Long Huan Yu, Chu Mo didn’t hesitate at all; he set out for the destination directly.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The Rejuvenation Elixir could be said to be both far away and within reach, and moreover, it was right in the city, practically under Chu Mo’s nose.
According to Long Huan Yu, the owner of the Rejuvenation Elixir was a secretive and highly skilled reclusive expert, whose strength was unfathomable.
Under such circumstances, Chu Mo reckoned that ordinary methods would likely be useless, particularly after experienced confrontation with the White Grandmaster, Chu Mo knew all too well that for such reclusive experts, money nearly amounted to nothing.
It wasn’t just a matter of several billion, but even hundreds of billions wouldn’t warrant a second glance from them.
Learning from the encounter with the White Grandmaster, Chu Mo didn’t come rashly; he decided to visit the recluse personally.
