Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning Chapter 862 - 355: Gift of Congratulations

Today, Su Mo invited all the Sect Leaders and Masters here not only to discuss his strategic plans.

He also wanted to bring up the matter of Da You Bank.

Yet, before he could speak, Xia Xuanran had already acknowledged the close ties between Da You Bank and the Dongcheng Seven Sects.

This did not catch Su Mo by surprise.

After all, it was clearly stated in the letter he received from Wei Ruhan.

Da You Bank’s two crises were both aided by the Seven Great Sects.

If there were no connection between Da You Bank and the Seven Great Sects, no one would believe it.

Today, Su Mo clarified these connections in front of them, hoping they could provide him with an explanation.

At the very least, they should find out the whereabouts of this Store Manager.

Upon hearing this, he chuckled:

"I see, but I wonder how the Xuanyuan Saintess responded to this Store Manager’s plea for help?"

Xuanyuan Xiaoshan straightened slightly, glanced at those present, and said in a low voice:

"Naturally, there was nothing to say about it; he offended Su, the Chief of the Escort. Forget asking for help from our Tianxin Sect, even if all seven great sects pleaded, no one could save him.

"I originally intended to take this man’s head and present it to Su, the Chief of the Escort, as a congratulatory gift.

"However, firstly, such a gift would not suffice to express my intentions.

"Secondly, to my sha, we are currently unaware of his whereabouts."

"Oh?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow:

"Not even any of you know where this Da You Bank Store Manager is?"

"Lord Su, you are not aware..."

Luo Changsheng imdiately spoke:

"The origins of Da You Bank are quite complex, initially, the person was not from our Seven Great Sects.

"However, this person had an exceptional mind with unique insights into comrce.

"And daring enough to travel alone in Donghuang, seeking out mbers of the Seven Sects to discuss establishing Da You Bank within the territory.

"The Store Manager of that ti built Da You Bank with his eloquent tongue.

"However, since the bank relied on the Seven Sects to rise, it would naturally send money to us every year.

"Clearly, the Seven Sects do not engage in production, even though the towns under our nas bring in corresponding tax silver annually, spending is inevitable.

"Since its establishnt, Da You Bank has indeed given us, the Seven Sects, a considerable amount of wealth over the years.

"But as Da You Bank gradually expanded, it began to take root deeply, eventually spreading throughout the entire East City.

"Even the Southwest region did not escape its grasp.

"It was then that the ancestors of the Seven Sects realized they had underestimated this person.

"A bank covering all of Donghuang, the amount of money it has is unimaginable.

"Such wealth, even we of the Seven Sects, cannot help but feel apprehensive..."

"Ultimately, we cannot sit back and let it devour the world like a tiger."

Su Mo poured himself a glass of wine and lightly nodded:

"Indeed, if it were , I could not stand by either.

"However, since Da You Bank persists to this day, there must have been other changes."

"That’s right."

Xia Xuanran continued Luo Changsheng’s words:

"It was also at that ti that the Store Manager of Da You Bank suddenly sent a letter to each of the Sect Leaders of the Seven Sects.

"Inviting everyone for talks...

"He is a businessman, and the Sect Leaders of the ti were Jianghu Martial Artists, naturally not fearing him.

"On the appointed day, they promptly gathered to attend the eting.

"This person was straightforward, having only brought a few guards for protection, and ca to participate himself.

"And he openly stated that he planned to split Da You Bank into three, with the Seven Sects taking two parts, and he retaining one part for himself.

"He claid that the foundation of Da You Bank was ultimately sothing he could not completely hand over.

"Taking one part was to account for his hard work over the years.

"The remaining two parts were entirely in the hands of the Seven Sects.

"However, the ancestors of the Seven Sects did not accept.

"If they had accepted, wouldn’t that an benefitting from soone else’s hard work at no cost to themselves?"

On the surface, Su Mo nodded lightly, but inwardly he shook his head.

If the Seven Sects had truly swallowed two-thirds of Da You Bank back then.

Leaving aside whether their actions were shaful, the most crucial question is, who would be entrusted to manage Da You Bank afterwards?

Or, how would the two-thirds portion of Da You Bank, granted by the Store Manager, be allocated among the Seven Sects?

How to oversee managent?

This is a huge piece of at yet also burning hot; a careless move could create a perilous situation.

It is extrely dangerous instead.

The Seven Sects Masters not only required outstanding martial arts but also sharp minds and scheming, and naturally could not easily accept such a situation.

Finally, it was the Third Palace Master who spoke up:

"Thus, the three parts of Da You Bank divided by this Store Manager were not taken by us.

Su Mo smiled and nodded: "If it were , I’d do the sa."

"Cunning spirit."

The Third Palace Master gave him a sidelong glance, intending to say sothing off-topic but realizing this was not the right occasion, hence he continued:

"The entirety of Da You Bank was still given to the Store Manager, and our Seven Sects’ ancestors originally planned to turn back.

"However, the Store Manager was unwilling.

"Instead, he decided to let the Seven Sects enter Da You Bank and take the leading positions.

"Thereafter, the annual profits would see our Seven Sects taking seventy percent.

"Leaving thirty percent for him, with the rights to manage going to him as well.
