I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 208 - Covet Seize


“Boss Huang, where have you been making big money lately?”“Haha, I have some good goods. I want to see if you’ll take them.”“I won’t beat around the bush with you. They are Elven Race spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits.”“Don’t worry, do you think I would dare to deceive you?”“Alright, then I’ll await your good news.”“Hello, Boss Zhang—”Zhu Runfu dialed one phone call after another. The people on the other end were initially very cold, but when they heard that he had a batch of Elven Race spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits, they immediately showed great interest.Zhu Runfu’s smile grew brighter. He knew that with the help of this favorable wind, the Zhu family would finally be able to soar to great heights.“There’s such a thing? I understand.”Inside the study, Leng Yuanshan hung up the phone, a faint glow flickering in his eyes.“Dad, what’s wrong?”Leng Peng noticed his father’s unusual expression and asked curiously.Leng Yuanshan said indifferently, “There’s a small merchant who somehow got a batch of Elf Star spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits. He’s currently contacting various parties, trying to sell the goods for a good price.”“Elf Star spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits!”Leng Peng’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Dad, anything related to the Elves always commands a high premium. Let’s get involved and try to acquire all the goods.”Leng Yuanshan glared at Leng Peng, a hint of severity in his tone:“It seems you’ve never taken anything I’ve taught you to heart.”Leng Peng was stunned for a moment, then cautiously asked:“Dad, what do you mean?”Leng Yuanshan said indifferently:“What do you think our family relies on to monopolize a market?”Before Leng Peng could answer, Leng Yuanshan continued on his own:“We rely on a ruthless heart. As soon as a competitor emerges, we must immediately crush him. In business, you cannot give your opponent any room to survive.”Leng Peng’s eyes widened: “Dad, you mean?”Leng Yuanshan’s eyes turned cold: “A small medicinal merchant, without even a greeting, wants to stick his hand into my business. Since he doesn’t follow the rules, I don’t think he’ll be keeping that hand.”“Boss Huang, you came to inspect the goods yourself!”“Haha, how about it? I, Old Zhu, didn’t lie to you, did I?”“Boss Zhang, you’re an expert. This batch of goods isn’t bad, is it?”Inside the warehouse, Zhu Runfu was showing the spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines to several bosses.Hundreds of boxes were all opened, allowing people to clearly see the quantity and quality of the spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits.Watching Zhu Runfu chatting animatedly with the bosses not far away, Feng Mocuan smiled at Xu Ze, the vice-leader beside him:“You know, the boss’s contact is really effective. It’s only been two days, and so many people have come to inquire. I don’t think we’ll have trouble selling these things.”“Indeed. According to the price set by Boss Zhu, this batch of goods can sell for at least one hundred million.” Xu Ze’s eyes gleamed with excitement.How many dangerous missions would their Hurricane Mercenary Group have to take to earn one hundred million?And now, they only needed to transport the goods from Elf Star to Silver Gray Star, pay a basic procurement fee, and they could earn such a large sum of money.It felt like a dream.Feng Mocuan: “The boss said that 20% of the company’s future profits will be used for our brothers’ salaries, 10% will be year-end bonuses, and the remaining portion will be used for company development.”Hearing this, Xu Ze’s eyes lit up even more.He knew very well that this batch of goods was just a test run. Once the pricing was finalized and a stable market was established, subsequent spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits would be continuously transported to Silver Gray Star, with annual profits exceeding ten billion.And they only needed to safely escort the goods to Silver Gray Star to share 30% of the profits. There was simply no easier or more profitable mission in the world.“The boss is so generous!”Xu Ze couldn’t help but exclaim.Being a mercenary was naturally for money, but if they could earn money easily, who would still want to take on dangerous missions where they risked their lives?“Indeed. It’s truly our great fortune to be able to work under the boss.”Feng Mocuan felt even more deeply than Xu Ze. Qin Tian had offered him an annual salary in the tens of millions, along with a 3% share of the profits each year.Conservatively estimated, his annual income could reach several hundred million.Moreover, he gained not only money but also the Silver-Tier Night Demon Bloodline, which no amount of money could buy.With the Night Demon Bloodline, the path to the Sixth, Seventh, and even Eighth Tiers would be smooth sailing.Strength and future prospects were what he valued most.Just as Feng Mocuan and Xu Ze were chatting, a group of people suddenly burst in aggressively.“Where’s Zhu Runfu?”The leader was wearing a security uniform, tall and burly, his voice carrying a hint of severity.Zhu Runfu walked over, his heart sinking at the hostile appearance of the group, then plastered a smile on his face:“Isn’t this Captain Li? What brings you to my place today?”Captain Li sneered:“I don’t have time to waste with you. Someone reported that you have smuggled goods here. The director sent me to verify the situation.”Smuggling?Zhu Runfu’s heart sank. Strictly speaking, this batch of goods from Elf Star indeed had suspicions of smuggling, but more accurately, it should be considered a legitimate use of the loophole where there were no clear tariffs between the Elves and the Empire. Labeling it as smuggling was too much.Captain Li looked around, passing by each box, his expression growing colder:“It really is Elven Race stuff. Zhu Runfu, have you paid taxes on all these things?”Zhu Runfu quickly said:“Captain Li, the tariff system over there isn’t perfect yet, but this batch of goods was indeed purchased by us from the Elves through legitimate channels.”“No tax paid means smuggling!”With a bang, Captain Li slammed the lid of a box shut, then waved his hand:“Take all the goods away!”“You wouldn’t dare!!!”In the warehouse, the members of the Hurricane Mercenary Group immediately stepped forward, their Spiritual Energy User aura erupting, faces filled with anger.They had just heard from their leader and vice-leader that once this batch of goods was sold, 20% of the profits would be distributed among them.Now, anyone who dared to touch this batch of goods was trying to snatch their money bags, and they would fight to the death.In an instant, a heavy pressure suddenly descended.Captain Li and the officers behind him trembled violently, a hint of shock appearing in their eyes.There were so many Spiritual Energy Users in this small warehouse!“What do you want to do? Attacking imperial officials, obstructing law enforcement, can you bear the consequences?”Captain Li’s face turned pale, but he still shouted stubbornly.“Leader!”“Leader!”At this moment, the mercenaries all looked at Feng Mocuan. They were all battle-hardened veterans who had fought through blood and fire, so how could they put the minor security officers in their eyes?As long as Feng Mocuan gave the word, they would immediately go up. Even if they didn’t kill them, they would at least teach them a lesson.Feng Mocuan’s eyes narrowed, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Many people didn’t even dare to breathe.“Let them move it!”Feng Mocuan’s answer was beyond all the team members’ expectations.“Leader!”“Leader!”Feng Mocuan waved his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.It was obvious that someone had their eyes on this batch of goods, which was why they orchestrated this whole charade.He really wanted to see who was behind this mischief.He didn’t understand business, but when it came to quietly eliminating someone, he was quite skilled at it now.“Captain?”The officers behind him looked at Captain Li.Captain Li gritted his teeth, “Move them for me!”Originally, according to the director’s intention, both the people and the goods were to be seized. However, in the current situation, if he dared to seize the people, he and his men might not be able to leave this warehouse.But don’t get too cocky.Aren’t they just Spiritual Energy Users? Our Public Security Bureau has arrested plenty of Spiritual Energy Users!Besides, in front of the behemoth that is Yuanshan Group, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ what kind of waves can a small mercenary group stir up?Just you wait!
