"Mr. Li, to show my sincerity, I'm willing to take action personally and kill this disobedient dog!"
After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he glanced at the elderly man in a green robe who had been quietly brewing tea.
The elder nodded slightly and then walked towards Fang Dao.
"Young Master Zhao! Young Master Zhao! I've followed you for so many years, maybe I haven't contributed much, but I've worked hard! I'm already crippled, give a break..." Life clings to any chance of survival, and although Fang Daoshen's limbs were already crippled, he still had money, he was still young, so how could he be willing to just die like this?
But faced with Fang Daoshen's plea for rcy, Zhao Pu didn't even spare him a glance.
Even though Fang Daoshen had indeed done a lot for him, achieving great feats for the Zhao Family.
But now, faced with the powerful Li Chuan, Zhao Pu abandoned him without hesitation!
"Crack!"
The elderly man in the green robe walked straight to Fang Daochang, lifted his foot, and lightly stepped down, snapping Fang Daochang's neck!
Staring at Fang Daochang, who lay on the ground, lifeless, Zhao Pu displayed a smile: "Mr. Li, Fang Daochang is dead. As for his assets, if you like, you can have them all!"
"Also, Mr. Li, I'd like to hire you as an enshrined protector of the Zhao Family. Of course, the annual salary is three billion!"
"You needn't worry about losing your freedom by becoming part of my family. You only need to intervene when the Zhao Family is in peril."
"However, to be honest, the Zhao Family has many experts, and under usual circumstances, your intervention won't be necessary."
"Additionally, you can access the Zhao Family's resources anyti you wish."
"Hmm? Young Master Zhao's offer is indeed very tempting." A playful expression appeared on Li Chuan's face.
Zhao Pu laughed: "That's right, as far as I know, this is the most generous offer my family has ever made because your strength, Mr. Li, has impressed , and I'm willing to give for you."
Li Chuan realized that this society is indeed unfair. Three billion, a number ordinary people wouldn't even dare dream of, yet these people can offer it so effortlessly.
Zhao Pu's offer was so generous that Li Chuan found it impossible to refuse!
"All right, but I will only act for the Zhao Family once, limited to one year, after which it's invalid!"
Li Chuan wasn't very interested in money right now, but the Zhao Family's resources, they were beyond monetary worth.
With these resources, many of his troubles could be resolved.
When Zhao Pu saw that Li Chuan accepted, he was overjoyed and imdiately smiled at Li Chuan: "As you say, Mr. Li!"
As the heir to the Zhao Family, Zhao Pu himself wasn't a straightforwardly rash, combat-obsessed playboy.
Li Chuan was powerful, and Zhao Pu saw value in him far surpassing Fang Daoshen, maybe even more than Black Skull.
Being able to get such an expert onboard, making him his muscle, was definitely a worthwhile investnt.
"Mr. Li, do you prefer cash, or a check? If you like, I can make a direct transfer." Zhao Pu said with a smile.
"Just transfer it directly." Li Chuan didn't feel like going to the bank with a check, which was too botherso. He thought for a mont, then asked Zhao Pu for pen and paper, writing down so dicinal herbs: "I want as many of these herbs as you have."
The herbs Li Chuan needed for cultivation now were extrely valuable. The older, the better, with a minimum age of at least two hundred years. Such herbs are hard to find at common rchants, only thousand-year-old families have the connections."
After giving instructions, Li Chuan walked towards the racecourse exit: "Young Master Zhao, I hope we can cooperate pleasantly. Also, if you dare cause any trouble, Fang Daochang and those four foreign devils will be your end!"
With that, Li Chuan casually spat the plum pit from his mouth and strode away.
"Young Master, this guy has killed Black Skull's four great assassins and forced Fang Daochang to his death. He's our family's enemy; why spend three billion?"
"Moreover, if the Master finds out, he might be furious," the elderly man in a green robe asked with suspicion.
To him, Li Chuan wasn't worth such an expense from the Zhao Family!
According to Zhao Pu's terms, Li Chuan's status in the Zhao Family was even higher than the patriarch!
According to the rules of the Yanjing families, if they wanted to invite an enshrined protector, it needed to be decided by the patriarch and family elders during a eting.
But Zhao Pu had just decided on his own.
Zhao Pu paused for a mont and then looked at the elderly man in a green robe: "Uncle Liu, what do you think Li Chuan's current level is?"
When hearing this question, the elder's expression beca much more serious: "Judging by the strength he showed earlier, he should be a top Master, possibly able to contend with a Grandmaster."
Zhao Pu: "I think the sa, whether or not he's a Grandmaster. Even if he's just a Master, his fighting power can beco a crucial asset to the Zhao Family."
"Furthermore, there's another point; we can use him to eliminate our competitors, or perhaps, after he's poisoned, eliminate him!"
Uncle Liu: "Young master's referring to Mu Jianqing?"
Zhao Pu nodded: "That's right. Over the years, Mu Jianqing, that old fox, has brought much trouble to the Zhao Family. If we can use Li Chuan to deal with him, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?"
Uncle Liu then understood and praised: "Worthy of being the young master, no wonder the Master values you so much!"
"Boom!"
Just as Uncle Liu finished speaking, a deafening explosion erupted from a nearby grove!
When they turned to look, they saw clouds of dust blocking out the sky, but didn't know what had happened!
"What's going on?" Zhao Pu asked, bewildered.
Uncle Liu squinted: "That area seems to be the grove where Li Chuan and the four assassins fought earlier; many trees were broken..."
Zhao Pu: "Let's go have a look."
"Be careful, young master."
As Zhao Pu approached the grove, he felt sothing was wrong, but he couldn't tell what.
As the dust and smoke gradually cleared, Zhao Pu's expression slowly turned blank.
Earlier, he thought this small grove had only a few trees broken and wasn't significantly affected overall.
But now, every single tree in the grove had been completely severed at the root!
The cuts were even neater than those made by a lumberjack's electric saw!
All Zhao Pu felt was a prickling on his scalp, his skin breaking out in goosebumps, struggling even to breathe!
Not just Zhao Pu, even Uncle Liu was drenched in cold sweat, his inner shock beyond words!
"Uncle Liu, this... was it him?" Zhao Pu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but still spoke with a tremor.
Uncle Liu: "Just those four foreign devils couldn't possibly do this, look at the base of these trees, it's not flat, but has rippling patterns left by True Qi cutting them!"
"Such a skill is possessed only by cultivators in Great Xia's Cultivation Realm!"
Zhao Pu: "So, he did all this! He's from the Cultivation Realm... a cultivator!"
Uncle Liu: "Young master, the Jianghu hasn't seen a cultivator from the Cultivation Realm in a long ti... if he really is one... then in Jianghu, there might be no match for him! Not even Mu Jianqing!"
"Gasp!"
Zhao Pu inhaled sharply.
Almost wet himself!
