"Haha... Dad, rest assured, there definitely won't be any problems!"

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the second-floor reception hall, a wild burst of laughter came from a private room.

Jiang Chen and the others looked at each other and chuckled softly.

Click!

You Chen stepped forward and pushed open the room door.

"Young Master Chen, how did the calculations go... Jiang Chen?!" Lü Tianfang, gladdened to see You Chen enter, began to speak, only to be shocked when he saw Jiang Chen and his companions standing beside You Chen!

You Chen stepped aside from the doorway, and Jiang Chen strode in, taking a seat at the table, with the three members of Spirit You standing behind him.

"Young Master Chen, this is Jiang Chen, the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng. He is the one who wants to monopolize the pharmaceutical industry. Don't let yourself be fooled by his sweet talk!"

Lü Tianfang, with a worried look in his eyes, glanced at You Chen, then turned to stare fiercely at Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, why are you here? Let me tell you, Unchanging Valley will not cooperate with you. They have already agreed to work with me! You can forget about using force to buy out the pharmaceutical companies from our commerce alliance!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Lü Tianfang and said indifferently, "Lü Tianfang, you'd better hand over the pharmaceutical companies to me. Of course, if you really don't want to sell, that's also fine. I won't make things difficult for you. I can offer you non-voting shares, and you only need to enjoy the dividends according to your shares. I will arrange for someone specialized to manage the pharmaceutical companies!"

"In your dreams! Don't even think about continuing your dream of monopolization!"

Lü Tianfang shouted angrily, then turned to look at You Chen: "Young Master Chen, we had an agreement. We offered your clan thirty percent of the profits, you can't go back on your word!"

"Go back on my word? Did I agree to cooperate with you?" You Chen said coldly.

Lü Tianfang's expression changed dramatically, he said in surprise: "What? Young Master Chen, weren't we just talking nicely? You even took the list of pharmaceutical companies that our alliance controls to do the calculations, how can this be..."

"I did ask you for the list of pharmaceutical companies, but did I agree to cooperate with you?" You Chen repeated.

Lü Tianfang paused, recalling their conversation. Indeed, You Chen had not given him a definite promise to cooperate, and his complexion immediately changed: "Young Master Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you saying you want to cooperate with him? Don't forget, he's already working with the Five Great Families Along the River. If you get involved as well, Unchanging Valley won't get much profit!"

"Profit? In this world, there are many things much more important than profit!" You Chen said in a cold voice.

Lü Tianfang furrowed his brows tightly, glanced at You Chen, then turned to stare at Jiang Chen and yelled fiercely: "Jiang Chen, did you threaten Unchanging Valley? Other than using despicable methods, what else do you know? Let me tell you, even if Unchanging Valley is too scared to work with us, I will not sell the pharmaceutical companies to you. Get that thought out of your head! If you're capable, destroy the one-third of the pharmaceutical companies in Yizhou Province that I control!"

"Bastard! You think our Sanzhu Commerce Alliance is afraid of you? You scumbag, always scheming! Sooner or later, you will die without a place to be buried!"

"You're asking for it!"

The expressions of the three You Ye members changed, and Spirit You shouted angrily, flashing towards Lü Tianfang.

Chen Gang stood up to stop them, but You Chen suddenly charged in front of him and fiercely kicked Chen Gang in the stomach.

Bang!

Crash!

Chen Gang was sent flying out, crashing through the window of the reception hall and tumbling down to the ground floor.

At the same time, Spirit You also fiercely kicked at Lü Tianfang.

"You think you can take me on? You're truly frogs at the bottom of a well!"

A cold light flashed in Lü Tianfang's eyes as he circulated his Inner Qi, his aura suddenly bursting forth.

Hum!

The aura of an Innate Grandmaster suddenly emerged, harshly pressing down on Spirit You.

Hum!

A chilling intent burst forth from Spirit You, and the Blood Fiend Aura soared into the sky, violently clashing with the pressure from Lü Tianfang.

Boom!

A loud explosion of Qi resounded, and Lü Tianfang's aura was scattered.

"Half-step..."

Lü Tianfang's complexion changed drastically as he exclaimed.

Thump!

Crack!

A muffled sound: Spirit You's foot connected with Lü Tianfang's stomach, sending Lü Tianfang flying out of the room following Chen Gang, even widening the window further!

Thump!

Thud!

Having fallen harshly to the floor below, Lü Tianfang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The commotion at the guest hall attracted a dozen or so powerhouses of the Shadow Clan, with You Bitong rushing over personally.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Jiang Chen and his companions directly jumped out of the window.

"Mr. Jiang."

The members of the Shadow Clan bowed respectfully one after another.

"You all, you've already submitted to him? Does Unchanging Valley really have no integrity? He's an ally of the Five Great Martial Worlds along the river, are you content with being beneath the Five Great Families?"

Lü Tianfang was shocked by the attitude of the Shadow Clan members towards Jiang Chen, he cried out in panic.

"What do you know! Big idiot, in our Unchanging Valley, there's no one more foolish than you for provoking Mr. Jiang!"

A small figure ran out from the crowd, glanced at Lü Tianfang, and then ran towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen cracked a slight smile, scooping up the small figure in his arms.

"Mr. Jiang, I didn't mean to trouble you when you arrived, it was all great-grandfather's idea, please don't blame me, okay?" This small figure was the child who gave Jiang Chen trouble on the chains during his trial.

You Bitong slightly stunned, raised an eyebrow and said: "Brat, when did I ask you to trouble Mr. Jiang?"

"Haha, no worries!"

Jiang Chen chuckled and waved his hand, looking down at the child: "What's your name?"

"My name is You Lie, great-grandfather named me to remind me that no matter what I do in the future, I should always adhere to the principle of survival of the fittest, telling me to study hard and to excel in whatever I do!" the child softly replied.

Jiang Chen rubbed You Lie's nose gently, chuckling as he spoke: "So, I'll call you Little Lie. Little Lie, Elder You is right, society is indeed based on survival of the fittest. You must learn diligently from your family, okay?"

"Mhm!"

You Lie nodded vigorously, then looked up at Jiang Chen anxiously: "So, Mr. Jiang doesn't blame me?"

"Of course I don't blame you!" said Jiang Chen in a gentle voice.

"Yay! No spanking for me!"

You Lie cheered joyfully.

Pfft!

"Haha!"

"This little rascal!"

"Haha..."

Everyone started to laugh aloud.

"Alright, Little Lie, brother has some business to take care of, go play!" Jiang Chen placed You Lie on the ground.

You Lie's eyes gleamed cunningly as he looked at Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, are you really letting me go play?"

"Go ahead!"

Jiang Chen chuckled and nodded.

"Yay! No need to do maths! Mr. Jiang said it, Mommy definitely won't dare to object, off to play I go!"

You Lie cheered happily and ran off toward the Martial Arts Arena.

"This..." Jiang Chen was momentarily taken aback.

Whoosh!

At that moment, as You Lie passed by Lü Tianfang lying on the ground, a cold gleam flashed in Lü Tianfang's eyes and he moved in a flash, reaching out to grab You Lie.
