Chapter 3851: South Heaven Gate’s trump card

Translator: 549690339

In the eyes of any merchant, roping in the southern Heaven Gate, a powerful figure in the rising Sky Pavilion, would bring them great benefits. Even Hong Zhong had the same idea at the beginning, but after having someone secretly observe the behavior of the southern Heaven Gate, he immediately dismissed the idea.

The reason was simple. The people of South Heaven Gate were greedy by nature, or even greedy beyond measure.

Perhaps after roping him in, he could earn a huge profit of tens of thousands of spiritual jades through his power, but the price would be at least 60% of it, or even more! Although the merchants could still earn 40% of the profits, Hong Zhong, as a manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, had always looked at the person when choosing a business partner, and not the profit in front of him.

Only by choosing the right partner could there be long-term benefits. Otherwise, even if he temporarily gained some short-term benefits, he would definitely return it back ten times or a hundred times in the future. This was the experience and insight of Hong Zhong who had been in charge of the North Island branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce for decades. Therefore, even though he knew that the southern sky Gate was very popular and sought after by other shopkeepers, Hong Zhong never thought of befriending them. Instead, he kept a respectful distance and did not ask about them.

Seeing that Hong Zhong was so fearless, the southern Heaven Gate was stunned. Normally, a shopkeeper like Hong Zhong who was sent out of the central island would be most afraid of the higher-ups of the central island, because those people controlled their future and could decide their future development with a word.

But this Hong Zhong in front of him seemed to be full of confidence and was not afraid at all. Or did this guy not believe that he could talk to the high-level figures of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the middle Island?

With a quick thought, South Heaven Gate quickly came to a conclusion. The reason why Hong Zhong was so fearless was most likely the latter.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, although the southern Heaven sect was the eldest senior brother of the rising Sky Pavilion’s manager and was considered to be in a high position in front of most people, he was not qualified to talk to the high-ranking figures of the middle Island of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. It was only natural that Hong Zhong did not take his threat seriously.

“You don’t believe that I have the ability? Hmph, it doesn’t matter, you’ll be kneeling down to beg me later. ” Nan Tianmen shook his head with a sneer and went straight to the point,””I’ve come here personally to inquire about someone from you, manager Hong. I heard that you have a good relationship with the Rogue cultivator Lin er who killed my third brother?”

Nantianmen thought that after he said this, Hong Zhong would definitely refute him fiercely, saying something stupid like protecting the customer’s information was the lifeline of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. However, unexpectedly, Hong Zhong’s reaction was completely different from what he had expected.

Without any overreaction or even a word, Hong Zhong just picked up the cup of tea.

The meaning of serving tea to send off the guest was obvious. Hong Zhong, the usually kind and amiable shopkeeper, was not even interested in saying a word to this question. He directly served tea to send off the guest.

This time, even Southern Heaven Gate’s face turned red with anger, and he didn’t even say a word. This kind of wordless response was even more infuriating than vicious words of ridicule!

“Manager Hong, I’ll call you manager Hong one last time. I advise you to be tactful and cooperate with my questions. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!” South Heaven Gate said, suppressing his anger.

Although he had everything he could rely on for this trip, he did not want to completely fall out with Hong Zhong if there was no special need. After all, the Hong Chamber of Commerce was one of the top Chambers of Commerce. If he could make the other party cooperate with him obediently, not only could he obtain greater benefits from it, but it would also be more seamless.

Therefore, the purpose of his trip today was only to use Nan tianyong’s death as an opportunity to demonstrate his power to Hong Zhong. He didn’t really want to find trouble, and he didn’t want to completely fall out with the other party.

“You don’t want face?” Hong Zhong looked at him in surprise and then said with a faint smile,””Shouldn’t this old master be the one saying that? Sir is an uninvited evil guest. This old master has already served tea to send you off, yet you still shamelessly refuse to leave. Who is the one who doesn’t want face?”

After a pause, Hong Zhong said seriously,”since you’re so thick-skinned, I’ll make it clear. I’m sorry I can’t do anything about your request. Take care. I won’t see you out.”

“Old man, I respect you a little because you are a manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. But since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then don’t blame me for being impolite!” As Nantian men spoke, his aura suddenly rose to the extreme, like a storm was coming. The tables and chairs around him began to shake.

“Perfected Foundation establishment? His strength is a level higher than that Nan tianyong from before. However, he dares to come here and make a fuss with this little strength. Isn’t he looking down on my Hong Chamber of Commerce too much?” Hong Zhong’s expression turned serious.

Hong Zhong didn’t even need to give any orders. The moment Southern Heaven Gate released his aura, four auras that were no weaker than him, or even stronger, had already locked him in place.

If the southern heavenly gate continued to be so ignorant, there was no doubt that they would repeat Nan tianyong’s mistakes. Even if he was stronger than Nan tianyong, he would not have a good ending.

If he, the soaring Pavilion’s eldest senior brother, was thrown out of the window like his younger brother, Nan tianyong, then his face would be completely lost. At that time, even if he sat in this hot position, it would be difficult to convince the public. He might even become a laughingstock!

If they really wanted to fight, the southern heavenly gate admitted that they didn’t have the strength to block so many guest Masters of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, when they saw that the situation was not good, they could only hurriedly use the trump card that they had carefully prepared for the past three days.

“Wait! If you want to attack this Lord, I advise you to read this letter first!” South Heaven Gate suddenly took out a letter from his chest and threw it on the floor.

Although the four guest experts had not shown themselves, it was not difficult for them to read the contents of the letter with their strength. However, in the short time it took for Southern Heaven Gate to throw out the letter, the four powerful auras disappeared at the same time, as if they had never appeared.

Hong Zhong’s face turned dark for the first time after reading the letter.

This letter was about Lin er’s identity. According to the letter, the South Heaven Gate in front of him was a key customer recognized by the entire Hong Chamber of Commerce, while Lin er was just a customer that Hong Zhong made friends with personally. It was clear which was more important.

The last sentence of the letter was to ask Hong Zhong to unconditionally cooperate with the southern sky Gate’s request. Otherwise, if he insisted on doing things his own way and caused the Hong Chamber of Commerce to suffer losses, he would be severely investigated and punished for malfeasance.
