Ti passed.
Liu Qing paced anxiously in place.
"Zhang Yong, are you leaving or not?"
"If you don’t leave now, I’m going by myself."
"With an explosion like that, no one could survive. The boss is strong, but how long has it been since he’s returned?"
"He must already be dead!"
Zhang Yong sat cross-legged on a rock, gazing intently at the ruins below:
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
"Wait for what?" Liu Qing’s voice raised:
"Even though this place is secluded, the sound of the explosion can’t be hidden from people. It must have already attracted outside attention. As soon as it’s daylight, the Public Security Bureau or the military will arrive. If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late."
"Just a while longer."
Zhang Yong gritted his teeth:
"The boss has a wealth of skills. Even if he’s dead, he should have left sothing behind. Aren’t you curious about how he beca so powerful?"
"Besides..."
"What if he’s not dead?"
Liu Qing hesitated.
He didn’t believe Fang Zheng was still alive, but then he thought of the items Fang Zheng possessed.
A ghostly cloth bag.
A fire-starting gourd.
And those miraculous martial arts. If he could get his hands on them, he might be able to touch that mysterious and unfathomable world.
"You an..." Liu Qing’s eyes lit up, looking towards the ruins below:
"The fire hasn’t gone out yet. Waiting a bit longer is fine."
Who knows how long passed.
The sound of sirens began to echo from below the mountain.
"Swoosh!"
A figure appeared in the scene.
"Let’s go."
Fang Zheng stood with a calm expression, hands behind his back, unhard.
?
Liu Qing and Zhang Yong exchanged a glance, slowly bowing their heads:
"Yes."
Harboring ulterior motives, they dared not ask more, and Fang Zheng wasn’t surprised they had waited so long. Naturally, it wasn’t out of loyalty, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Bar.
Chen Jian gestured for a Divine Dragon Set, pouring a full glass for Fang Zheng amid a crowd of won.
"Drink!"
This scene was reminiscent of when the two first t.
Fang Zheng chuckled lightly, raised his glass, and drank it dry.
After setting the glass down, he turned back to dismiss the won, and said slowly:
"Brother Chen, are you still interested in continuing my jade business?"
"Always interested." Chen Jian laughed heartily:
"Now that the Mu Family is in trouble, our business certainly has to continue."
"That’s good." Fang Zheng nodded, taking a docunt from behind and handing it over:
"But future business will be larger than before. Take a look first."
"Oh!"
Chen Jian raised an eyebrow, took the docunt, and scanned through it, his expression gradually turning serious.
After a long ti.
He finally looked up, his voice strained:
"Is this the Mu Family’s route?"
"Yes."
Fang Zheng nodded:
"Is the Chen Family interested in taking over?"
"..." Chen Jian pursed his lips, thought for a mont, then spoke softly:
"Does Brother Fang have sothing to do with the Mu Family’s incident?"
Mu Yuanchun of the Mu Family had offended Fang Zheng, which he was well aware of, and within a few days, the entire Mu Family was nearly wiped out.
The whole Western Continent was in turmoil.
No one knew who did it, yet they were terrified of the executioner’s thods.
And now.
Part of the Mu Family’s jade business was placed before him, and Fang Zheng, who was thousands of miles away, happened to co to the Western Continent in recent days.
Who the perpetrator was seed all too clear.
Thinking of this, Chen Jian’s voice carried a slight tremor.
"The Mu Family is gone."
Fang Zheng smiled lightly:
"I wonder if the Chen Family wants to take a step further?"
The Mu Family’s industries spanned various fields, with jade being the most prominent. However, Fang Zheng was unfamiliar with Myanmar and equally in the dark about the environnt in the Western Continent.
He wanted to take over the Mu Family’s jade business, which was almost impossible.
But,
The Chen Family had an opportunity!
The Chen Family was also in the jade business, well-known in the Western Continent, and having connections in Myanmar, they were aptly suited to take over.
"Once the deal is done, Fangtian Group will hold sixty percent of the shares, and the Chen Family forty percent."
"How about it?"
Chen Jian thought for a mont, a flicker of fear in his eyes, quickly overtaken by overwhelming enthusiasm, he nodded vigorously at Fang Zheng, saying:
"I agree on behalf of the Chen Family!"
This was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up, even if the Chen Family didn’t agree, he would still proceed. Such a chance for teoric rise might only co once in a lifeti, and he couldn’t miss it.
