"What? I've been up for three days straight working to make this happen, and some son of a bitch dares to sabotage me behind my back? Are they fucking looking to die!?"

From the earpiece, Elder Qing's angry curses could be heard.

"Hold on a moment!" Jiang Chen whispered a gentle reminder and opened up the group chat on his phone, softly asking, "President Lin, who from the Flame Dragon Group contacted you?"

"That person claimed to be the son of the Flame Dragon Group's Head of the Northern Region, Li Juncheng!" Lin Bingrui hastily replied.

Jiang Chen nodded, switched back to the call screen, and softly called out, "It's the Flame Dragon Group's Head of the Northern Region, Li Juncheng."

"Li Juncheng?!"

A surprised voice came from Elder Qing through the earpiece, "It's him? How could it be him? I understand now, Young Jiang, this is a bit complicated. Don't push too hard for now; I'll communicate with them. Wait for my call."

"Okay!" Jiang Chen frowned slightly and nodded.

It seemed the Head of the Northern Region was quite influential, to the point where even Elder Qing had concerns about crossing him!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Jiang Chen spoke in a somewhat colder tone, "Elder Qing, if you can't handle that Li Juncheng, let me know sooner rather than later to avoid me continuing to waste funds here! If we only acquire the other places and not the North, the Mutant Gene Potion will still make its way in!"

"Young Jiang, rest assured, this is something that must be done. I'm going to find the Supreme Long Huang right now!" Elder Qing hurriedly reassured Jiang Chen.

"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded, ended the call, switched back to the group chat and said softly, "The Flame Dragon Group will handle this. You guys start heading towards the northwest for now, and wait for my call about the North!"

"Yes!" Lin Bingrui respectfully responded.

Closing the group chat, Jiang Chen's gaze shifted, and he picked up his phone to dial another number.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang!" The call was quickly answered, and the voice of Lin Jiuxiao, the Sect Master of the Chixiao Sect, came through the earpiece.

"Sect Master Lin, do you know of any power in the North that could make the Flame Dragon Group wary?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"Indeed, there is such a power, the only one in the entire Flame Dragon that can stand toe-to-toe with the Flame Dragon Group. Mr. Jiang, you haven't crossed paths with this power, have you?" Lin Jiuxiao's voice was filled with wariness.

Jiang Chen was surprised and exclaimed, "Stand toe-to-toe with the Flame Dragon Group?! But isn't the Flame Dragon Group the number one organization in the Flame Dragon Kingdom? How is there a power that can stand with them on equal footing?"

"The Flame Dragon Group is indeed the top organization in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, that's correct. In general, that power is not as strong as the Flame Dragon Group, but the old ancestor of that power is said to be on the same level as the old ancestor of the Flame Dragon Group! They are also the only two peak masters in the entire Flame Dragon!" Lin Jiuxiao explained a bit.

Jiang Chen's heart trembled fiercely, "This... you're saying that power has someone... with strength comparable to the Dragon Saint?! What power is it?"

"You know of the Dragon Saint!? It seems the Flame Dragon Group really values you!"

Lin Jiuxiao's voice came through the earpiece with surprise, following by a slightly heavy tone, "If I tell you their family name, you should understand. They are... the Royal Golden Jueluo Clan!"

"Oh..." Jiang Chen was startled, a flash of realization crossing his eyes, "I understand now!"

"Mr. Jiang, if you have a conflict with them, please think thrice!" Sect Master Lin gave a word of caution.

"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen's brow furrowed lightly.

The Imperial Jueluo Clan, a surname that exists in television and history, once the rulers of the Flame Dragon Kingdom — they wielded such power, it didn't surprise Jiang Chen one bit!

"It looks like we can only wait for Elder Qing and their response," Jiang Chen said with a wry smile shaking his head.

...

The headquarters of the Jincheng Medical Association, located in the East District of Jincheng, occupies an eight-story standalone building.

At this moment, the entrance of the Medical Association headquarters was filled with luxury cars of various kinds.

Medical professionals from all around the world were converging here.

"Divine Doctor Ye, why hasn't Mr. Jiang arrived yet?" At the entrance of the Medical Association, Li Qiancheng, the vice president of the Dingjing Traditional Medical Association, glanced at the entrance and then turned to Ye Yang beside him.

"Let's wait a little longer, the time hasn't even arrived yet," said Ye Yang softly.

"Yo, isn't this the defeated competitor, Ye Yang?" came a mocking voice as two short old men approached the entrance of the Medical Association.

"Cangben Tailang, don't get too smug, this time your Beihai National is bound to lose!" Ye Yang declared with an ashen face.

"Haha! With the Flame Dragon Kingdom's feeble medical skills, you dare say I'm bound to lose? Occupying the position of chairman of the World Medical Association for so many years, it's about time for you Flame Dragon folks to step down and pass on the torch!" Cangben Tailang burst into laughter.

Medical professionals coming and going at the entrance of the Medical Association frowned and looked towards Cangben Tailang.

"Isn't this Cangben Tailang a little too arrogant?"

"The last two medical exchange meetings were won by that Cangben Tailang and his companion, Goumao Jingshang, defeating the Flame Dragon Kingdom's team led by Divine Doctor Ye!"

"Oh, no wonder, I heard that if the Flame Dragon Medical Community loses again this time, one of the three key chairman positions will have to be given to the president of the Beihai National Medical Association, Goumao Jingshang!"

"The medical prowess of the Flame Dragon Kingdom has indeed declined a lot, but the Beihai National's Soul Healing Art is truly formidable. The soul, a domain that no one in the world medical community has conquered in a hundred years, I didn't expect it to be mastered by Beihai National!"

The medical representatives from various countries began discussing among themselves, and as they spoke, the crowd surged into the headquarters.

"You!"

Ye Yang was so angry his face turned the color of iron, but in the end, he had lost to them; he had been outmatched and was unable to come up with a reasoned rebuttal, so he could only glower with rage, unable to speak.

"Haha! People of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, you simply aren't fit to hold one of the three major positions in the World Medical Association!" Cangben Tailang laughed loudly as he walked into the Medical Association building, Goumao Jingshang gave Ye Yang and the other a disdainful glance, a sneer on his face as he followed suit.

"Scoundrel! Scoundrel!" Ye Yang fumed, blowing his mustache and glaring with fury, cursing aloud.

"Divine Doctor Ye, Vice President Li." A calling voice sounded, and three old men accompanied by a middle-aged man joined Ye Yang and his companion.

One of the old men was dressed in a suit and carried an air of scholarly refinement about him, another was in military attire with a stern face, and the third was wearing a neat suit, donning a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The middle-aged man was also dressed in a suit, bearing a slightly haughty look on his face.

"President Wu, Divine Doctor Wu, Director Chen."

"President Wu, you've arrived!"

Ye Yang and his companion greeted the three elders and took a look at the middle-aged man, then inquiringly turned towards the elder in the suit.

The gentleman in the suit softly introduced, "This is Zhang Chengkun, known as the Northern Medicine King of this generation, Mr. Zhang."
