The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1224 760: The Premature Dragon Egg (2)

"Have you settled the matter?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Not yet, it will take at least three to five more rounds of talks."

Hui San shook his head.

"What's so complicated? If it's not convenient to say, forget it."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it."

He took a red waxy stone from his pocket.

"What is this?"

Liu Zheng took it and slled it, faintly detecting a bloody scent.

"This is called Blood Amber, it can be used for pharmaceuticals, costics, and spice making. It has a wide range of uses and is a specialty product of our firm."

"Although its profit share isn't that significant anymore, it's still the foundation of our firm. As long as there's Blood Amber, the firm can keep operating."

Hui San explained.

"So the other party wants the supply channel for the Blood Amber?"

He asked.

"Not just that, they also want the manufacturing thod of the Blood Amber."

Hui San answered.

"Oh~ Buying the egg isn't enough; they also want to buy the hen that lays it."

"Actually, they also want to buy the chicken coop. The Blood Peach Tree, used as a raw material, can only be produced in a special place. If we sell them the manufacturing thod, we'll have to sell them that place too."

Hui San sneered.

"Goodness, does the other party know this?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"They do. Apart from the manufacturing thod and the location, they pretty much know everything. I suspect soone in the firm leaked the information."

Hui San replied.

"It seems the other side ca prepared."

"That's right, they even hired our Special Manager as a lobbyist. You didn't see how arrogant they were at first, practically as if they had us under their thumb."

Hui San gritted his teeth and said.

"What Special Manager?"

"The staff responsible for managing our Taxation Departnt."

Hui San explained.

All businesses, freelancers, groups, individuals, etc., under the jurisdiction of the Taxation Departnt are collectively referred to as registered entities, and the tax officers managing these entities are called Special Managers.

Though a Special Manager doesn't have the power to kill anyone, it's very easy for them to cause trouble.

After all, any trader would have tax evasion, and even real-life companies can't withstand scrutiny, not to ntion these "sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks" in the tropolis.

"The Taxation Departnt..."

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

It seed that he didn't really have any connections in the Taxation Departnt, only the Refuse Pet Faction could possibly be in touch.

"It's fine, we of the Hui Family don't lack roots. At worst, I'll ask the family for help."

Hui San said, but it was obvious he wasn't happy about it.

He had finally beco the manager of the Sadao You's firm, with managent rights and shares.

If he couldn't solve this matter and had to seek family help, although they might not reclaim his managent rights, his shares would definitely be reduced accordingly.

"Have you figured out who the other party is?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"They claim to be from Risingsun Trading Co., Ltd., but I had soone look into it. It's just a newly registered shell company, without even a real office location. As for who is behind them, I'm still checking."

Hui San said.

"I have a few acquaintances in City Hall, leave the background checks to ."

He took on the task.

"Thanks, Mr. Liu."

Hui San also agreed readily.

Having battled in the business world for so many years, he knew the principle of "a favor too big becos a grudge."

To get along well with soone, you shouldn't unilaterally shower them with kindness. Otherwise, at best they'll feel uneasy and distance themselves from you; at worst they'll take it for granted until you turn against each other.

Before, he was the one helping Liu Zheng, and now it was Liu Zheng's turn to help him.

"Between brothers, there's no need to talk about trouble."

Liu Zheng directly called Silver Wolf in front of him.

"What's up?"

Silver Wolf answered imdiately.

"Brother-in-law, could you help check out a company to see who's really behind it?"

He said straight out.

"What's it called?"

"Risheng Trading Company."

"Got it, I'll get back to you once I find sothing."

Silver Wolf said.

"By the way, brother-in-law, when do you and my sister plan to have kids?"

Liu Zheng suddenly rembered and asked.

"...Why are you asking this?"

Silver Wolf paused for a few seconds before asking, his tone a bit odd.

"I just got a pill that can increase pregnancy chances, and it reminded just now while calling you."

He replied.

Thinking about it, Silver Wolf and his sister Yangzi had been married for years. Seeing how loving they are, their sex life should be harmonious. If they still don't have kids, it must be a fertility issue.

"Even among humans, your mind is quite jumpy."

Silver Wolf couldn't help but tease.

"I think so too, so do you want it, brother-in-law? If you do, I'll keep it for you."

Liu Zheng asked again.

Given how busy he was every day, who knows when sothing might co up and the "Life Yin Pill" gets given away?

"...Keep it."

Silver Wolf said, then imdiately hung up the phone.

"Still too shy to accept it. Never thought soone like Silver Wolf, with such thick eyebrows, could be so innocent."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Didn't expect Mr. Liu to have dealings in this field too."

Hui San said.

"Huh? What field?"

"In yin-yang harmony and such."

Hui San winked and said.

"Oh, that. Not really. I just noticed how common fertility issues are in the tropolis, so I consciously gather items in this field for when needed."

He said.

"I don't really have much research in this area. Our Hui Family's bloodline is quite dominant. As long as we mate with humanoid species, there's basically no reproductive isolation, and our children are typically dominated by the Hui Family's traits, so the family's numbers are always growing."

"As far as I know, the other four families are in a similar situation."

Hui San thought for a mont and said.

"No wonder the Five Families Outside the Pass can stand firm in the city."

They already possess extraordinary bloodlines, have high fertility rates, and it's difficult to mix in other genes. The fact that there are five such families and they stick together, wherever they go, they're destined to be influential.

"That's also thanks to support from good friends like Mr. Liu."

Hui San complinted.

"You're welco. By the way, where's the dragon egg?"

Liu Zheng returned to the main topic.

"I'll have soone send it over right away."

Hui San took out his phone and made a call, and soon two assistants ca in carrying an iron box.

"Be careful, Mr. Liu, this dragon egg is alive and quite ill-tempered."

Hui San reminded.

"It's fine, my new body is very sturdy."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

If he could be hurt by an egg, then the Extre Fury Asura might as well be renad as a Lego Man in the future.

"Okay then. Open the box."

Hui San ordered.

The two assistants moved to the sides of the iron box and unlocked the chains tied to it.

The iron plate at the front fell, and fierce flas burst out, transforming into a fire dragon that lunged at Liu Zheng.

"An egg wants to bite soone? Wait till you hatch first."

He sneered, slashing with his blade.

The rage turned into a sinister ghost face, swallowing the fire dragon's head whole,

As both flas disappeared without a trace, the contents of the iron box appeared before Liu Zheng.

It was a dragon egg covered in cracks, with energy leaking out, forming fla-like crystals that encapsulated it entirely.

"This dragon egg was born like this. The mother dragon intended to eat it to recover strength but the seller's people stole it."

"According to experts' evaluations, this dragon egg is almost impossible to hatch normally. While the crystals keep the egg from cracking, they are also constantly consuming the egg's life energy. At this rate, it will beco a dead egg in about a month at the latest."

"So the seller's recomndation is to use it quickly."

Hui San explained.

"Use it quickly?"

Liu Zheng looked at the dragon egg, its imperfectly ford body faintly visible beneath the shell.

From the dragon's flas earlier, he sensed a mixture of reluctance, despair, resentnt, and anger.

Perhaps driven by the survival instinct, the dragon egg seed unusually mature.

"Co with . Although I can't let you be born normally, at least you won't have to completely perish."

Liu Zheng said, reaching out to the dragon egg.
