"Are you people from Liu Sifang?"
Chen Nan's brow furrowed tightly!
He hadn't expected Liu Sifang to have people waiting here!
A middle-aged man said indifferently, "Although killing is forbidden within Zhongzhou City, what if we accidentally kill you?"
Another person sneered, "Young man, I advise you to be sensible and don't struggle in vain!"
"Lead the way!"
Chen Nan said calmly!
He hadn't anticipated Liu Sifang sending people to guard here!
If soft tactics didn't work, he'd resort to force!
This was a classic case of a cornered beast fighting back!
But he wasn't afraid!
With his abilities, he could instantly seize control of Zhongzhou City's protective formation!
It wouldn't be difficult to annihilate Liu Sifang and his Immortal Emperors with the formation!
------
After getting into the carriage!
After half an hour of bumping!
Chen Nan arrived at the Liu Residence!
This was Liu Sifang's mansion before he moved to the Immortal Palace!
It was located in the bustling area of Zhongzhou City!
Spanning hundreds of mu, the two stone lions guarding the entrance looked lifelike!
Entering the courtyard!
Chen Nan followed two Immortal Emperor level experts to the reception hall!
He saw Liu Sifang, dressed in a black robe, sitting on a grand chair with his eyes closed, resting!
Hearing footsteps!
Liu Sifang slowly opened his eyes!
This was his first meeting with Chen Nan!
But this man had destroyed the commercial empire he had built with his own hands!
He was a man worthy of his respect!
And a man he hated to the bone!
"It's really not easy to get an audience with young master Chen! You're more handsome than I imagined!" Liu Sifang said with a half-smile!
Chen Nan casually sat on a chair and said dismissively, "President Liu, why have you summoned me here? Is it just to praise my handsomeness?"
Liu Sifang frowned slightly!
Logically, Chen Nan should have appeared uneasy and fearful after being brought here by his men!
But why did he seem so calm now?
Could it be that he had some hidden trump card?
Thinking this, a cold smile touched his lips!
His two subordinates were carrying magical artifacts, artifacts that could block all communication!
It would be difficult for Chen Nan to ask for help even if he wanted to!
"Actually, there's nothing major in inviting young master Chen here!" Liu Sifang picked up the tea beside him and took a sip, "I just wanted to meet and make a friend!"
"After all, I'm a businessman, and I firmly believe that the more friends you have, the easier the road ahead will be!"
"Besides that!"
"I'd like to borrow some money from young master Chen to tide me over!"
Chen Nan was amused, "President Liu, you sure know how to joke. You're the founder of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, the wealthiest man in Wu Kingdom. How could you be short of money?"
Liu Sifang sighed, "Although I, Liu Sifang, am the founder of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce and the so-called richest man in Wu Kingdom!"
"What am I compared to young master Chen?"
"You've made over seven hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones recently!"
"You are truly rich enough to rival a nation!"
As he spoke, a hint of killing intent crept into his voice!
The seven hundred thousand that Chen Nan earned was all related to him!
Because thirty thousand of it was given to Chen Nan by him!
Indeed!
Giving thirty thousand for some worthless sand stones was no different from giving it away for free, wasn't it?
The remaining four hundred thousand came from the communication jade slips he sold!
Those communication jade slips were also sold to Chen Nan by him!
The price of two hundred thousand jade slips reached a thousand high-grade immortal stones each!
This deal seemed incredibly profitable!
But it was still far from what Chen Nan earned!
Chen Nan grinned and said, "I really didn't expect President Liu to ask me for money!"
"This must be my good fortune from my past lives!"
"Although I dislike people asking me for money!"
"But since President Liu has asked, I will certainly give you this face!"
With that said!
He took out a storage bag and, enveloped by his mental power, it floated towards Liu Sifang!
"You're quite sensible!"
A cold smile flickered across Liu Sifang's lips!
He knew!
Chen Nan must have been intimidated by him!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have proactively sent out the storage bag!
But when he saw the immortal stones inside the storage bag!
His face instantly contorted with rage, he slammed the table and roared, "Chen, are you trying to send a beggar away?"
Chen Nan couldn't help but frown, his eyes showing a hint of displeasure, "President Liu, don't slander me!"
"If I were sending away a beggar, I wouldn't be willing to give high-grade immortal stones!"
"And certainly not two hundred and fifty pieces!"
Upon hearing this!
The two Immortal Emperor level experts simultaneously gasped!
They hadn't expected there to be only two hundred and fifty high-grade immortal stones in the storage bag!
This wasn't being sensible!
This was clearly a public humiliation of Liu Sifang!
Slapping him in the face!
Liu Sifang, suppressing his killing intent, gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Nan, I advise you not to test my limits again and again!"
"If you really push me too far, I won't hesitate to send you to hell!"
Chen Nan glanced dismissively at the two Immortal Emperor level experts behind him, not hiding his disdain, "Just these two?"
"Killing you would be like crushing an ant for us!" one of the experts roared in anger!
Liu Sifang said in a low voice, "Chen Nan, I know your strength, talent, and your powerful backing!"
"However!"
"If I want to kill you, no one can save you!"
"But, I promised Yingying to spare your life!"
"As long as you hand over the immortal stones and spiritual herbs in your possession!"
"I can be merciful and only cripple your cultivation, not harm your life!"
"If you refuse to comply!"
"I will eliminate you even if it risks Yingying's displeasure!"
At this moment!
He no longer hid his killing intent and greed!
"I advise you not to think about using magical artifacts or relying on your exceptional movement techniques to escape this place!"
"I have a magical artifact here that can block any magical artifact, and even block space!"
"You will never leave alive!"
With that said!
A barrier enveloped the Liu Residence!
"You are now like a turtle in a jar, even Ninth Master can't save you!" Liu Sifang laughed heartily, his eyes filled with amusement!
Chen Nan sat there quietly, his face showing no discernible expression!
He looked as if he had been scared silly!
A moment later!
He let out a sigh, "After all that talk, could you ask your servants to pour me a cup of tea?"
"Don't you know how to entertain guests?"
Liu Sifang was enraged, "At this point, you still want tea? Don't you realize the seriousness of the situation?"
Chen Nan said helplessly, "But I'm really a bit thirsty!"
"My lord, stop wasting words with him, I'll send him to drink the soup of oblivion!" an Immortal Emperor expert said menacingly at Chen Nan!
"No, no, no!"
Chen Nan quickly said, "I advise you not to act rashly!"
"How should I put it, I'm proficient in physiognomy!"
"I can see from your face that you have a great calamity in your destiny!"
"If you move even a little, you'll be scattered into ashes in an instant!"
"Do you think I'll believe your ghost stories?" the middle-aged man roared in anger!
He flashed in front of Chen Nan!
Just as he was about to strike and kill Chen Nan!
A terrifying divine light descended from the sky, landing precisely on the middle-aged man!
The next second!
The middle-aged man turned into dust and vanished from the world!
