"No... don’t co over, I beg you, don’t hit ." Seeing the old man, Hu Heng scread instinctively, leaving the old man slightly bewildered.
The old man was dressed in tattered clothes, all patched up.
Moreover, it seed he hadn’t tidied up in a long ti. He looked very shabby, with a long, ssy beard, appearing like a beggar.
But he moved with ease, full of vigor. If cultivators were around, they would know he was a cultivator, and a very powerful one at that.
"Yo! Looks like you’ve been beaten pretty badly, but I have no grudge against you, so I won’t hit you." The old beggar teased with a smile, seeing Hu Heng’s miserable state.
"Really?" Hearing that the old beggar wouldn’t hit him, Hu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what do you want?"
"I can teach you skills. I see you have extraordinary bones, very suitable to inherit my mantle. Would you be willing?" The old beggar handed Hu Heng a stead bun, smiling as he asked.
If it were in the past, even if Hu Heng starved to death, he wouldn’t eat a bite of such a bun.
But now, having been hungry for a long ti and with no money on him, he couldn’t wait to snatch it the mont he saw the bun and began to eat it excitedly.
Delicious!
After eating happily, Hu Heng couldn’t wait to ask, "Is there more?"
"You haven’t answered my question yet!" The old beggar gave him another bun reluctantly and continued to ask.
"Mantle? What skills do you have?" Hu Heng asked curiously while eating the bun.
"Look over there." Upon hearing Hu Heng’s words, the old beggar pointed to a stone in the distance and smiled.
"What about it?" Hu Heng looked puzzled.
At that mont, the old beggar lightly pushed his palm forward.
Instantly, a golden dragon shadow appeared on the old beggar’s palm and flew toward the stone.
Boom!
The mont the golden dragon shadow hit the stone, it imdiately exploded, shattering into pieces.
The golden dragon shadow from the old beggar’s hand looked far more profound than the one used previously by Deacon Hai, and its power was much more terrifying, as if it were a more advanced palm technique.
"Ah?" Seeing this scene, Hu Heng was dumbfounded, too shocked to continue eating his bun.
Only then did Hu Heng realize that this old beggar was a master, and an incredibly powerful one at that.
Upon this realization, Hu Heng excitedly grabbed the old beggar and asked eagerly, "If I inherit your mantle, can I beco this powerful?"
"Of course." The old beggar nodded proudly.
"Great! I agree." Upon hearing this, Hu Heng agreed without hesitation.
At the sa ti, Hu Heng showed eyes full of hatred and secretly vowed, "Xu Family, Hu Family, Ye Feng, you all wait for . When I complete my training and return, I will repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold."
In an instant, Hu Heng was consud by hatred, with a single-minded desire for revenge.
"You should think it over. Following to learn not only requires enduring pain that ordinary people cannot withstand but also involves self-mutilation; it’s going to be very hard. Do you still want to?" Upon seeing Hu Heng agree, the old beggar quickly confird.
"I do. No matter how hard it gets, I will fight to learn, and I won’t consider myself a person until I succeed." Hu Heng was determined.
"Good! Then today I’ll take you as my apprentice." Seeing Hu Heng’s firm resolve, the old beggar nodded excitedly.
Today’s setback was sothing Ye Feng never anticipated, unexpectedly creating a future formidable opponent...
anwhile, Li Lingui, upon receiving the samples, instructed the company’s employees to start applying for various procedures.
Whether it was patents, trademarks, or brands, as long as it was needed, they were all being orderly applied for.
Moreover, after the previous events, all departnts had been inford to expedite all procedures for Huani Company seamlessly.
In fact, as soon as sothing was applied for by Li Lingui, soone would co to provide backdoor assistance, allowing for unimaginably quick approvals.
This was sothing Li Lingui never expected.
At the sa ti, Li Lingui marveled at Ye Feng’s formidable power, as he was very clear that without Ye Feng, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Seeing how smoothly everything was being applied for, Li Lingui instructed the workers to prepare for the project start ahead of ti as work was about to comnce.
Before the official launch, a certain inventory needed to be stockpiled.
Upon receiving Li Lingui’s instructions, the factory manager organized people to thoroughly clean the entire facility and perform maintenance on the machines.
Once the machines and factory were completely cleaned, they would be ready to start at any mont.
However, at that mont, the man in the suit hiding in the shadows saw the factory people start to get busy, and he snickered coldly.
Originally, he thought he’d have to wait longer before taking action; little did he expect such an opportunity to arise so soon.
So he hurriedly made a phone call.
And with his call, one by one, the departntal cars orderly entered the factory.
"Stop, everyone stop." After entering the factory, the departntal personnel shouted, halting all the workers.
Seeing this setup, all the workers looked puzzled, not knowing what happened.
"We need to conduct a routine inspection and hope for your cooperation."
"Routine inspection, who’s the factory manager? Please ask them to cooperate with us."
Once the workers gathered, the departntal personnel respectively explained their purpose.
"Of course, we’ll fully cooperate. Rest assured, this is a legitimate factory." Hearing it was a routine inspection, the factory manager greeted them with a smile and began cooperating.
"This is unqualified!"
"This too is unqualified!"
"This, this too is unqualified!"
...
During the inspection process, these people found all sorts of faults, turning even non-issues into problems.
Upon hearing this, the factory manager felt sothing was off.
These standards were very clear to him; the factory t them, yet the other side kept saying they were unqualified. How could this not be suspicious?
"Deadline to rectify; halt operations for three months." Indeed, before they even completed their inspection, the other party had already issued a penalty, which was their objective.
"Really? How are we not qualified? We’ve followed the standards, can’t you see?"
"Exactly! If we’re unqualified, then what is qualified? Isn’t this nitpicking?"
"Hmph! I say these people are just making things up, probably trying to extort money, kick them all out!"
Instantly, the workers were infuriated and poised to drive these people out.
"Are you thinking of resisting? Have you considered the consequences?" Seeing this, the departntal personnel frowned and threatened.
As for the man in the suit hiding in the shadows, he was delighted.
In his view, the bigger the scene, the better, preferably causing a ss beyond control, preventing the factory from comncing operations—that was his goal...
