Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Way Too Arrogant
"I’m convinced... completely convinced..."
Fu Wansan was very curious about where Mo Lin managed to acquire so many Ghost Artifacts.
He had investigated Mo Lin’s background.
No indications at all, as if he appeared out of thin air.
Within just this month, he could trace Mo Lin’s movements, but a month ago, Yun Chuan had absolutely no information about Mo Lin.
"Is twenty Ghost Artifacts too few?" Mo Lin asked curiously.
"No, no, no... not few... not few at all." Fu Wansan hurriedly replied.
If Mo Lin were to take out another twenty Ghost Artifacts for him now,
Fu Wansan wasn’t even sure if he could sell them all.
At this moment, Mo Lin had completely refreshed Fu Wansan’s understanding of Ghost Artifacts.
It was the first time he had seen so many Ghost Artifacts.
A normal person being able to present just one Ghost Artifact was already extraordinary.
Yet Mo Lin still had about twenty Ghost Artifacts.
Unbelievable.
For some reason, such precious Ghost Artifacts always carried a sense of cheapness in Mo Lin’s tone.
It was as if Ghost Artifacts were worthless in Mo Lin’s eyes.
"Aren’t you going to participate in the trade?" Mo Lin asked in confusion upon seeing Fu Wansan hesitate to leave.
"Oh... right, right..."
Only then did Fu Wansan remember that he was going to negotiate a business deal.
He was so shocked when Mo Lin took out a dozen Ghost Artifacts that he almost forgot about the trade.
"Let’s go."
Fu Wansan led Mo Lin away from the Four-sided Courtyard.
Mo Lin boarded his business car.
The business car was very spacious, and sitting in the back didn’t feel cramped at all.
After driving for about thirty minutes, they stopped outside a mall, seemingly waiting to pick someone up.
After waiting for about ten minutes,
a stunning woman clad in a white coat with flowing hair walked over gracefully.
This woman’s skin was fair, and she walked with great poise.
A goddess-like face, particularly eye-catching.
"Sorry, I bought a few clothes and came late." The woman slowly got into the car.
Fu Wansan pointed at the woman and introduced to Mo Lin, "This is Hongyan Xun..."
Before he could finish, Mo Lin interrupted,
"I know her."
Of course, Mo Lin knew Hongyan Xun; he had met her a few days ago.
"Is it you again?" Hongyan Xun was a bit surprised to see Mo Lin.
It could only be said that the circle was too small and they ran into each other again.
"As long as you know each other, Hongyan Xun is also a bodyguard I hired." Fu Wansan added again.
This time’s negotiation was a trade with the Beihai’s Li Family.
The Li Family didn’t have a good reputation, so Fu Wansan feared they might play some dirty tricks.
For safety reasons, he not only hired Mo Lin as a bodyguard but also brought Hongyan Xun.
Mo Lin shifted to make room, gesturing for Hongyan Xun to sit next to him.
"If there’s danger later, hide behind me; I’ll protect you." Hongyan Xun said unhurriedly.
"Ah... no need." Mo Lin didn’t need Hongyan Xun’s protection; he could protect himself.
"In any case, if there’s danger, just hide behind me."
She felt since they knew each other, she could somewhat look out for Mo Lin.
"I honestly don’t know what danger is."
To be honest, Mo Lin hadn’t encountered any danger since coming to the mortal world.
The fight with a Nightmare Level ghost in Minghai Building wasn’t even considered dangerous by Mo Lin.
"Alright then." Hongyan Xun didn’t argue with Mo Lin.
The business car drove slowly, about twenty minutes later, they arrived at a villa.
The Li Family people were waiting for Fu Wansan at the villa.
After getting out of the car, Hongyan Xun was cautious, observing everyone around her.
Then she mentally assessed their capabilities.
Mo Lin’s demeanor was completely opposite to Hongyan Xun, relaxed throughout.
With his hands in his pockets, he appeared laid-back.
Nothing to stress about, there weren’t any Nightmare Level ghosts here.
"Fu Wansan, you’re finally here." A young man greeted Fu Wansan upon appearing.
"Li San, long time no see." Fu Wansan responded cheerfully to Li San.
"Old Zhou... you’re here too." Fu Wansan greeted another middle-aged man.
"Indeed." Zhou Corps nodded in response.
"Is Zhuang Ruo here too?"
"Yes."
"Quite a few people came." Fu Wansan said with a smile.
All these people were invited by Li San to attend the trade meeting.
Fu Wansan wasn’t the only one who brought bodyguards.
The other attendees also brought their own bodyguards.
Clearly, these people were on guard against Li San.
Li San invited Fu Wansan and the others into the hall.
"I’ve invited you here to discuss matters regarding the Yun Chuan market." Li San announced straightforwardly.
In Yun Chuan’s market, Fu Wansan held the majority, while the others had influence in different areas.
"Just say what you need to." Zhuang Ruo stepped forward to speak first.
"Actually, it’s very simple. In the future, all of you will submit ten percent of your profits to our Li Family." Li San said unhurriedly.
This statement was like a thunderbolt, exploding among the crowd.
Zhuang Ruo didn’t speak; instead, he looked towards Fu Wansan.
The others also remained silent, their actions mirroring Zhuang Ruo’s.
All eyes were looking at Fu Wansan.
Waiting for Fu Wansan’s stance.
It was evident that these people faintly regarded Fu Wansan as their leader.
After all, Fu Wansan had the broadest business reach in Yun Chuan City.
"No way." Fu Wansan resolutely refused.
Li Family was too overbearing.
Just a word and they wanted to claim ten percent of the profits, that’s too much without contributing anything.
The Li Family hadn’t invested, yet wanted to seize ten percent of the profits just like that, is it possible?
Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t agree.
Once Fu Wansan made his stance clear,
the others followed suit one by one.
"I also find it inappropriate."
"No."
"I don’t agree either."
Zhuang Ruo and the others expressed their disagreement.
Li San remained silent, but the bespectacled bodyguard behind him was displeased.
"Bang!"
The bodyguard slammed the table harshly, pointing at Fu Wansan’s face and shouted, "Are you courting trouble?"
"You dare refuse my young master’s words?"
"Bang!"
Mo Lin slammed the table back, angrily retorting to the bespectacled man, "Who are you talking to? Do you want to die?"
Mo Lin wasn’t a professional bodyguard, but he must assert dominance in this situation.
You are aggressive? I can be even more aggressive.
Mo Lin’s strength was evidently greater than the bespectacled man’s; his slap made the entire table quiver slightly.
The bespectacled man was clearly not satisfied and approached Mo Lin.
"Kid, what do you mean?" The bespectacled man glared as if ready to fight, grabbing Mo Lin’s collar and threatening him.
"Let go of your hand, or I’ll kill you."
Threatening Mo Lin?
Unfortunately, Mo Lin wasn’t having it.
Mo Lin stepped forward as well, grabbing the bespectacled man’s collar coldly, "Don’t act too wild in front of me..."
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Hongyan Xun, sensing the situation was off, moved closer to Mo Lin.
Meanwhile, a few others behind Li San also assumed a stance ready to make a move at any moment.
"Return." Li San instructed the bodyguard.
The bespectacled man released Mo Lin’s collar, turned and walked back behind Li San, yet still didn’t forget to warn Mo Lin harshly, "Consider yourself lucky. Mess with me again, and I’ll definitely end you."
Mo Lin shot a cold glance at the bespectacled man.
This guy was too arrogant.
