Victorious yet again was Old He!

Old He shouted excitedly, furiously casting off the kitchen staff’s uniform, "Turns out I’m this awesome! I’m not going to be a cook anymore!"

The soldiers now looked at Ye Fei with eyes that had shifted from initial contempt and derision to shock and awe.

They had no doubt about the efficacy of the medicine!

"Mr. Ye! We believe you! Please bestow the medicine upon us and enhance our strength!"

They all pleaded in unison.

Ye Fei nodded.

Wang Jianglong immediately began distributing the Dragon Tiger Pills.

Now, each person who received the pill treasured it as if it were a priceless possession.

Wang Jianglong smiled and said, "Ye brother has been invited upstairs, I will take him now."

Upon hearing the words "upstairs," the crowd refrained from further comment, bidding their loud farewells.

Ye Fei had anticipated that someone was observing him.

His actions had already conquered the upper echelons of the military department.

Now, he guessed they were about to take him over.

Indeed, Wang Jianglong stepped forward and said, "Brother Ye, I won’t beat around the bush, the leader has summoned you."

Ye Fei had foreseen this moment, simply nodding and gesturing to lead the way.

Now that he had the agreement to bring Su Yueru back to the Su Family, he needed more money.

Doing business with the military department now was a good choice.

A few red pills appeared in his hand as if by magic.

They had been crafted on the side while he was making the Dragon Tiger Pills.

Just to impress the military department’s leaders.

Wang Jianglong led Ye Fei upstairs.

"Report!"

"The person has been brought!"

A robust and steady voice came from inside, "Please come in!"

Ye Fei opened the door and entered, while Wang Jianglong stood by the entrance.

Indeed, if it weren’t for Ye Fei, he would never have been able to come this close to that door.

An energetic and spry old man sat inside.

The old man had eyes like an eagle and sized up Ye Fei upon his arrival.

After a while, he said smilingly, "Not bad! Indeed not bad."

"Truly, a young hero, to be a Houtian ancient martial artist at such a young age."

"To be honest, I’ve seen a few young geniuses, but they only managed to step into Houtian with the help of immense resources."

"But you... you are different."

Houtian ancient martial artists from the civilian population are rarely seen.

Ye Fei chuckled softly and sat down opposite the old man.

"I believe the commander didn’t summon me just to exchange pleasantries," Ye Fei said.

The old man chuckled and replied, "Straightforward, I like it."

Lighting a cigarette, he said, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Bu Hongwei."

"By being old and not dying, I manage a few people under me."

"But don’t take it too seriously, my few stars here don’t have any sway over you."

Ye Fei glanced at the three shiny stars on Bu Hongwei’s shoulder with a hint of respect.

Those who have risen to such a rank have illustrious military achievements.

"Ye Fei, an idler," Ye Fei said with a smile.

Bu Hongwei laughed and said, "It seems you don’t like to mince words, so let’s get straight to the point."

"You’ve already noticed me. In fact, I’ve been watching you."

"Houtian ancient martial artists like you from the civilian population are not common."

"Being in the military department is tough, but to fight for the glory of Daxia, how about it, are you interested?"

This was a direct recruitment offer.

With Ye Fei’s abilities, he could start off in charge of a special forces squad.

Later on, based on military achievements, one could leapfrog to success.

But Ye Fei didn’t need to ponder much.

"Sorry, I don’t have that in mind at the moment," he said.

Bu Hongwei’s face visibly stiffened.

Someone of his position personally recruiting.

If not an immediate agreement, at least some consideration was expected.

Why did Ye Fei reject the offer so directly?

Bu Hongwei asked, "Do you have any concerns? You can speak openly, and the military department will resolve them for you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Ye Fei had no concerns.

He simply didn’t want to be controlled by others.

As a saintly celestial physician, he acted alone, freely and independently, never under anyone’s control.

Ye Fei laughed and said, "I’m just an ordinary person, not fit for a great responsibility."

"However, if the leader has any needs that require assistance, Ye Fei will certainly not stand idly by."

With things having reached this point, it was pointless for Bu Hongwei to persuade him further.

"Since that’s the case, it seems Mr. Ye and the war department are not destined to work together."

He was already prepared to see the guest out.

But just then, Ye Fei spread his hands and placed several red pills on the table.

Bu Hongwei’s eyes lit up.

"This is...?"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "A new medicine for enhancing cultivation, ten times more effective than the Dragon Tiger Pill."

Bu Hongwei instantly became unsettled.

He had personally tried the effects of the Dragon Tiger Pill.

These small red pills were actually ten times more effective than the Dragon Tiger Pill?

If that were true, it would be truly terrifying!

"Are you serious?" Bu Hongwei frowned deeply.

Ye Fei replied, "I can leave three pills for free, and after you’ve verified their effects, you can come back and respond."

Bu Hongwei was stunned for a moment.

So, Ye Fei had been showing off his capabilities just to personally deliver these pills into his hands?

He had thought he was testing Ye Fei, but he ended up being maneuvered instead.

However, with his status, he couldn’t possibly try the pills on the spot.

He would have to wait for the technical department to verify them before making a decision.

A moment later, Bu Hongwei asked, "If it truly works, what do you want?"

Ye Fei got straight to the point, "Two billion."

"You’ll need to use two billion to buy my production rights."

"This does not include the materials needed for future pill making, nor the money for each pill."

Bu Hongwei was deeply shocked by his words.

Two billion?

Even for the war department, two billion was a large sum.

And this two billion could only buy the opportunity for Ye Fei to make pills for them.

The rest would have to be negotiated again at a later date for price.

Ye Fei was actually this confident in his own medicine?

Even though he held a high position and had weathered great storms,

Bu Hongwei was shocked by Ye Fei’s words at this moment.

What astonishing courage!

However, everything would have to wait until after the pills had been tested.

"Then please, Mr. Ye, go back and wait for the news."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "I trust the war department will give me a satisfactory answer."

After leaving the war department, Ye Fei found Zhang Jingzhong.

He was an indispensable part of the plan, a titan of the business world.

After listening to Ye Fei’s reversal of the statement, Zhang Jingzhong was so stunned that he shot up from his seat.

"What?"

"You want to attack the Su Family’s industries?"

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Why the excitement, let’s talk it over slowly."

How could Zhang Jingzhong not be shocked?

Ye Fei’s wife was from the Su Family, after all.

Just moments before,

Ye Fei had outlined to him how to attack the Su Family’s businesses and make their dealings bleak.

But why would Ye Fei want to do this?

"Little brother Ye, why exactly are you doing this?"

Ye Fei smiled indifferently, his eyes flashing with deep hatred.

The Su Family had cast out his wife, which was tolerable in itself.

But then they repeatedly put stumbling blocks in the couple’s life, making it unbearable.

Later, they even joined forces with Chen Zihao to make both husband and wife fall severely ill.

Looking back on his past life, without the Su Family’s interference, how would Su Yueru and Little Ye have both died tragically?

This vengeance must be avenged, to calm the raging hate!
