"Once the matters here are settled, I will seek out Dragon Saint Senior, and perhaps I could invite him to visit the Holy Court," Jiang Chen continued.

"If His Holiness the Pope has truly fallen under the influence of malevolent forces, then we must act swiftly. Otherwise, if the three major organizations were to erupt suddenly, and we were without His Holiness' formidable combat prowess, the entire battle situation would be drastically affected!"

"Moreover!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Xi'er and the other two: "If His Holiness really has been compromised, whether the Holy Court can remain united is truly uncertain!"

Xi'er and the companions' expressions turned grave, their hearts trembled fiercely, and worry flashed across their eyes.

"However, the situation should still be under control. Otherwise, Lu Densi wouldn't have just tried to use such a method to give you a warning," Old Bai said, glancing at Xi'er and the two others, reassuring them indirectly.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: "Indeed, it seems the situation is not too critical."

Upon hearing this, Xi'er and the companions paused before nodding in agreement, the anxiety in their eyes noticeably lightened.

After a pause, Jiang Chen shifted the conversation back: "Minghe Group must not only be expelled, but all ownership of their assets must be left behind. Furthermore, a thorough investigation must be conducted on all the businesses owned by the Holy Court, including the subsidiaries of the companies protected by the Holy Court within Flame Dragon Kingdom."

"This..." Xi'er and the companions' faces showed subtle changes.

Jiang Chen didn't give them a chance to argue, stating directly: "After all, that's a Judgment Chief, an absolutely top manager of the Holy Court, whose influence is extremely vast. Plus, given the management style of the Holy Court, we really cannot afford to underestimate!"

Old Bai interjected: "I've already notified Supreme Long Huang. He also insists that all companies related to the Holy Court must be thoroughly investigated to ensure such a situation never occurs again." Old Bai spoke with gravity.

"Old Tang, you—you reported it?" Xi'er asked in astonishment.

"Nonsense!"

Old Bai glared at Xi'er: "Do you think I wouldn't report such a matter? Huh?"

Xi'er and the companions' faces changed, but they said nothing in rebuttal. Such a matter indeed had to be reported—it concerned national security!

"However."

Old Bai's expression softened, conveying a deeper meaning: "Supreme Long Huang said that currently, the import and export channels of the pharmaceutical company are the most critical. This matter can be put on hold for now; first, I will assist Young Jiang in resolving the issues in Zhudao City."

Xi'er and the companions were taken aback and looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

They knew that Jiang Chen had a good relationship with the Flame Dragon Group, but they didn't expect it to be to this extent.

After all, Supreme Long Huang was a Supreme Being!

A transcendent powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm, the third-ranked figure of the Flame Dragon Group, was also implying that they should assist Jiang Chen in resolving the issue of Zhudao City and treat it leniently?

Jiang Chen's influence was enormous!

"The situation in Zhudao City has mostly become clear now. Sanben Group is almost dealt with, just waiting to be acquired. With Old Fang and Old Li in charge in Dongxing, there shouldn't be any problems. As for Minghe Group's matters..." Jiang Chen softly analyzed the current situation in Zhudao City.

"Leave the matters of Minghe Group to us; we'll definitely satisfy Mr. Jiang!"

Xi'er interjected once more, having made up his mind.

"Good!"

Jiang Chen immediately nodded, then continued:

"Minghe Group is almost set... Hongxing has been the big brother in Zhudao City for so many years, he knows the city like the back of his hand. When the time comes, just have Zhang Long go directly to Hongxing to take over the underground import and export channels, now only Kenny Company and Feili Group remain uncertainties. Let's wait for Sa Li to come and check out Kenny Company, while for Feili Group..."

As he mentioned this, Jiang Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Mr. Bai, I want the Flame Dragon Group to keep an eye on Feili Group; I have a feeling there's something off about them, but I can't pinpoint what exactly it is!"

"Is it so troublesome? Why not just drive them away?" Mr. Bai frowned and asked.

"It's a company of the Duke Si Mo'er from Y Country's Royal Family; it would not look good to expel them without any evidence. Moreover, they haven't interfered with our acquisition of the pharmaceutical company or the import and export trading company, not even in the underground, so we have no excuse to push them out," Jiang Chen reminded gently.

Mr. Bai nodded: "True, with this layer of relationship, indeed we can't rashly kick them out. It seems we can only keep a watchful eye."

Ding-ling-ling!

At this moment, the phone rang. Jiang Chen took out his cell phone to take a look and answered the call: "Hello, Spirit You."

"Chief instructor, something has happened, Ying Zi left a note and ran away!"

"What?"

Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, his eyebrows tightening: "What do you mean? Where did Ying Zi go?"

"Yesterday, I visited the He Family with their people to discuss the situation in Haojiang in detail. When I arrived at the Flame Dragon Group's base today, I found Ying Zi was gone, leaving only a note saying she's heading back to Beihai National to retrieve the Hachi Shaku Kyou Hook Jade to strengthen her personal power, claiming she doesn't want to be a burden anymore!"

Jiang Chen's face turned angry, and he snapped: "Nonsense! Who said she was a burden? This is important, how could she go alone? What if something happens, or if the Soul Devouring Group captures her, what then? That girl is truly adding to the chaos!"

"Chief Instructor, I think maybe she left because she felt unable to help you and was..."

"I know!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a grave voice: "You don't need to deal with this, I'll handle it. Just take care of the issues in Haojiang."

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"What happened with that girl Ying Zi?" Mr. Bai asked softly.

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly: "Ying Zi thought she couldn't help me and returned to Beihai National alone to find a heritage item to improve her strength. This girl..."

With that, Jiang Chen sighed, "Sigh, I already promised her that as soon as I was free, I'd accompany her back to search for it, but she... she was someone I rescued from the hands of the Soul Devour Group, and we don't know what dangers she will encounter now!"

"You young fellow, you always have people willing to lay down their lives for you," Mr. Bai said with a hint of envy looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen dialed Ying Zi's phone with the back of his hand.

"Dudu dudu... The number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later."

Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he redialed a different number.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Li, I need to ask for a favor," Jiang Chen said politely.

Li Tianchong's voice came through the phone: "Mr. Jiang, just say the word. I've been idly drinking tea here every day, nearly bored sick!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I hope you can help me find someone."
