The other side.
Zhou Yu and Niu Biao were still waiting in the private room.
Before long, there was a knock at the door, and then Xia walked in.
She said apologetically:
"I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. The ’Sky Wood Root’ you wanted has already been reserved."
"Do you have any other needs?"
Hearing this, Niu Biao imdiately got angry.
He slamd the table and stood up furiously.
"Damn it, what’s the aning of this by your Red Star Chamber of Comrce?"
"You just had us wait, we’ve been waiting so long, and now you tell us it’s been reserved by soone else?"
"Are you playing us?"
Xia was scared by Niu Biao’s aura, her face turned pale, but she still forced herself to say:
"I’m truly sorry, I’m just following orders, this ’Sky Wood Root’ has indeed been reserved."
"You..." Niu Biao was about to erupt.
At this mont, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke:
"Take to see your president."
"Our president, he..."
Before Xia could finish her words, a cold gleam flashed through Zhou Yu’s eyes.
That sharp gaze seed to pierce right into her mind.
For no reason, Xia shivered all over, her mind went blank in an instant, and fear appeared irresistibly on her face.
Zhou Yu said calmly:
"I don’t want to hear you refuse, nor do I want you to tell he isn’t here."
"What you can do is obediently take there, otherwise, you can’t afford the consequences!"
Xia was now cold to the bone, unable to suppress the fear within her.
She trembled as she spoke.
"Y-yes... I’ll... I’ll take you there right away, please, follow !"
Under Zhou Yu’s intimidation, Xia found herself unable to say a word of refusal.
Zhou Yu, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and followed Xia out.
...
At that mont, Long Teng was entertaining Ni Chao and Tu njie.
He had just led the two of them, preparing to head to his office, when suddenly, a group of people in black clothing stord in and blocked their path.
"Who are you..."
Long Teng frowned, stepping forward to ask.
Just as he finished speaking, the crowd parted to reveal two individuals, one tall and one short, who strode out.
The taller one had fair skin and brown eyes, with a Western face.
The shorter man had a small beard.
The shorter man, with a frosty look on his face, stared at Long Teng and said unceremoniously:
"Long Teng, you’re quite presumptuous, aren’t you? We’ve been waiting for you here for so long, and you don’t even show your face?"
Seeing these two, Long Teng imdiately put on a conciliatory smile.
He knew both of them.
The one speaking was nad Nakamura Nan, from the Asia-East Alliance.
The Western-faced man was nad Waldson, an advisor to the Asia-East Alliance.
These two were clearly representing the Asia-East Alliance.
Long Teng apologized:
"I’m sorry, Mr. Nakamura Nan, for keeping you waiting. I’m afraid the ’Sky Wood Root’ you need cannot be sold to you."
Hearing this, Nakamura Nan imdiately got angry.
Nakamura Nan said with a grim face:
"Long Teng, you just had soone tell us to bid, and now you say it’s not for sale. Are you toying with the Asia-East Alliance?"
Long Teng hurriedly said:
"No, no, the ’Sky Wood Root’ was indeed intended for auction, but it has already been reserved, so there’s no extra for auction."
"Reserved by soone?" Nakamura Nan snorted coldly, "Who dares to be so overbearing?"
As soon as Nakamura Nan finished speaking, a mocking voice was heard.
"I reserved it, so what?"
"Do you have a problem with that?"
Upon hearing this, Nakamura Nan and the others imdiately looked in the direction of the voice.
Behind Long Teng, there was a tall, slender man, looking at them with slanted eyes and arrogance all over his face.
Seeing this person, Nakamura Nan was stunned, then noticed the old man beside him.
"Grandmaster Ni?"
Nakamura Nan naturally recognized this renowned alchemist from the Dan Pavilion.
He also knew that Ni Chao was soon going to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster certification, and with his skills, passing was highly likely.
That ant Ni Chao was soon to beco an Alchemy Grandmaster.
Such a person, the Asia-East Alliance didn’t want to offend easily.
Thinking of this, Nakamura Nan and Waldson imdiately put on smiling faces and approached.
"So it’s Grandmaster Ni and his distinguished apprentice Mr. Tu."
"We didn’t expect to see you here as well?"
Seeing their response, Tu njie beca even more arrogant.
"Why can’t we be here."
"By the way, is your Asia-East Alliance going to compete with my master for this herb?"
"Fine, let’s hear it, how much are you willing to pay?"
Upon hearing this, Nakamura Nan quickly waved his hand:
"Mr. Tu is joking. If Grandmaster Ni needs this item, of course, our Asia-East Alliance will gladly give it up."
"We hope Grandmaster Ni successfully passes the certification and we can cooperate more in the future."
Tu njie seed to know they would give up, and he said proudly:
"At least you know what’s what."
"As for cooperation, that’s no problem at all, but the specifics will depend on your sincerity."
Nakamura Nan wasn’t bothered by Tu njie’s arrogance, he still had a smile on his face and said:
"Of course."
As they were talking, another group arrived.
This group’s presence was even more imposing than Nakamura Nan and Waldson’s.
Upon their arrival, they imdiately pushed the Asia-East Alliance people aside.
The Asia-East Alliance initially wanted to resist, but suddenly, a cold hum echoed in their ears like a thunderbolt, instantly turning their faces pale.
To achieve this, one must be at least a Mid-Holy Realm expert.
Realizing a master had arrived, Long Teng’s expression changed, and he quickly looked towards the door.
A laid-back middle-aged man walked in leisurely, followed by a cold-faced man.
It was this man’s cold hum that had just subdued everyone.
However, Long Teng’s gaze was not on him but on the middle-aged man.
"Vice President Fan!"
Long Teng’s voice carried shock as he quickly went to greet him.
