For ten consecutive days.

The people of the Ninth District seemed to feel a different change, as if overnight, families with moderately well-off conditions could afford to eat perfect-quality beast meat at every meal.

Although ordinary people's efficiency in absorbing the nutrients from beast meat is pathetically low, their physical fitness has had a substantial enhancement.

Especially for families with children, if their children are stronger and more spirited, their learning efficiency increases, and the chances of awakening might be greater.

The main consumers of beast meat are, of course, the Transcendents, and the largest group among them is those near the threshold of Transcendents.

In the past, the purchase price of Fierce Beasts wasn't high, while their expenses were large. They needed to buy Crystal Cores, All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, and various healing potions.

In such circumstances, they could only skimp and save, reluctantly purchasing low-grade beast meat.

Now, it seemed they had seen the gates to a new world.

So this is how they could live.

They were earning more money, eating better beast meat, and their strength was improving faster.

For a time,

that unnamed cleanup company became the only legend in everyone's eyes.

However, the most impacted was the Xu Family, with prices nearly doubled. The Extraordinary Squads that had originally cooperated with the Xu Family turned to sell Fierce Beasts to that nameless cleanup company instead.

Previously, although the Xu Family was teetering on the edge, the consideration of money allowed everyone to cooperate for a while.

Now, all they could say was...

Sir, the times have changed.

Without the Transcendent Squads supplying them, and those Transcendents who were willing to be recruited didn't really want to traverse the Wilderness much.

In this way,

the supply from the Xu Family was directly cut off.

All bases and slaughterhouses instantly collapsed. Although there was no work, salaries still had to be paid, and so many mouths crying for food put Xu Tianci in a dilemma.

If not dissolved, before resolving Pei Jing and those Apostle Level people's hostility toward the Xu Family, a large amount of money must be invested at a loss.

If dissolved, even without Pei Jing and the others' hostility, the Xu Family seemed doomed.

Xu Tianci felt the world had gone mad.

Everything became incomprehensible.

He was vexed, his hands began to tremble.

After a silent moment,

he suddenly shouted hoarsely, "Gan Lin'niang, are the other conglomerates all just eating idle meals! Isn't there anyone who can come forward to balance the situation?"

His anger was uncontainable.

Desperate, Xu Tiannuo paced back and forth, then suddenly thought of something, instructing: "Immediately find someone to monitor that cleanup company 24/7, there's definitely something wrong!"

Xu Tiannuo waved his hand: "Big brother, we ourselves are being monitored 24/7 by the Security Bureau. If our Transcendents make the slightest contact with the outside world, the Security Bureau immediately follows up with an investigation..."

Xu Tianci's expression fluctuated crazily, finally waving his sleeves, leaving: "I don't care, you make the arrangements!"

Seeing his elder brother completely lose the poise of controlling everything as before, Xu Tiannuo's heart fell into an icy pit, chilled through.

The Xu Family had fallen into such dire straits…

When did it start?

Oh.

It seemed to start after dealing with that young man, right?

Just wanted to kill an Extraordinary newcomer, was it worth it...?

Xu Tiannuo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and a wave of deep regret surged in his heart.

In a spacious conference room,

those conglomerates wanting to sneak a piece of the beast meat market gathered together to discuss strategies.

But…

For a time, no one knew how to start, and everyone just puffed smoke in silence.

It was really hard to start.

Everyone finished one cigarette after another, and the whole meeting room was filled with smoke.

A slightly chubby middle-aged man couldn't take it anymore, suddenly stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette, and shouted in frustration and rage, "An unknown cleanup company, hiring at high prices, purchasing at high prices, selling at low prices."

"Even with my toes, I can calculate the loss."

"How is it still able to persist, and how much longer can it persist!"

His clenched fists kept knocking on the table, delivering a powerful protest.

"Could it be that some forces in the Holy City are up to something?"

After the topic was brought up, someone raised a question.

But it was denied by others: "It shouldn't be. You all come from the nearest Holy Cities, if another power was involved, those behind us wouldn't fail to alert us."

"In the Ninth District, only a few families have the capital to stir such a storm, and I've never heard of them getting involved in this area."

"Our informants placed in the City Lord's Mansion, and various government departments, also haven't been able to find out the roots of this cleanup company."

"With such a big commotion by this cleanup company in a short time, if Pei Jing and his people didn't know, I'd run three laps around the city naked!"

"Could it be the Pei Family?" someone exclaimed.

"Impossible, it definitely can't be the Pei Family!"

"Damn it, even if you gave the entire Ninth District to the Pei Family, they probably wouldn't want it!"

"Moreover, he had already fallen out with the family. If it hadn't been for another figure from a major Holy City supporting Pei Jing and mediating, given that he privately taught a simplified version of the family's Breathing Technique, the strong Pei Family would likely have retaliated long ago."

"If it's neither, why did we gather here, might as well go back to sleep, after all, this piece of meat is not for us."

"No!" Suddenly, someone slammed the table: "There's still one possibility!"

"What possibility?"

Everyone looked over intently.

The person's eyes flashed, organizing his thoughts, and asked, "Recently, who suddenly got involved with Pei Jing?"

"Oh, that Su Qi?"

"Impossible, an Overlord Level Transcendent, he has the strength, and the talent, but everyone knows the situation at his home. No matter how optimistic Pei Jing is about him, he wouldn't invest such a big amount for him to squander."

"Unless he's a money-printing machine."

"I wasn't talking about him!"

"If not him... who else, could it be the Xu Family?" someone joked.

The room suddenly fell silent.

This… might not be impossible!

The Xu Family had just offended Pei Jing, and knowing Xu Tianci, that old man certainly wouldn't sit back and wait for death.

Either fight with all their strength or choose to compromise.

If they choose to compromise, it's very likely to make such a move to ward off disaster through sacrifice!

Could it be that the unnamed company was actually an act of sincerity from the Xu Family to Pei Jing!?

Someone thought of this and immediately sent someone to investigate all the Xu Family's interactions with the government after the conflict erupted that night.

Soon.

The results came.

The day after the conflict erupted, the Xu Family reportedly handed over a hundred All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals to the Security Bureau, suspected to have been turned over to Zone 9 High School!

Instantly,

anger flashed in the eyes of the key figures of the major conglomerates present, and they immediately burst into curses.

Having eliminated all impossible possibilities, they didn't expect that the last absurd possibility was the answer.

"That old Xu bastard dared to make a fool of us!?"

"Although the new cleanup company is just a few billion, not worth much, but my pride!"

"Damn it, I'm irreconcilable with the Xu Family!"

"No way, I can't take it anymore, I'm sending someone to deal with them right now!"

"Same here, same here…"
