Chapter 1273 Who is it?
"Exactly!"
Li Er nodded.
"Why would the Hun family look for trouble with you?"
Chen Xuan asked in confusion.
Li Er's eyes narrowed slightly as he explained, "The Hun family is one of the Nine Gates of the capital, and the only one among them that vigorously develops Feng Shui and mystical arts. Half of the Hun family's disciples are sent to sacred grounds like Longhu Mountain to study Feng Shui and mystical arts, and their disciples have already achieved initial success."
"Another small portion of disciples are sent to various hidden sects to study martial arts."
"Only the remaining small portion, those who are not proficient in Feng Shui and mystical arts and have no talent in martial arts, are cultivated by the family to manage the family's businesses."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's gaze intensified.
In modern society, ordinary affluent families attach great importance to business development. Take the Su family in the capital, for example. Although they also value martial arts, they would never abandon business for martial arts. It is clear they prioritize commercial development.
However, the Hun family prioritizes strength more!
This is different from other families.
"Back when the Chen family was at its peak, only the Hun family among the Nine Gates of the capital could rival the Chen family. After years of development, although the Hun family seems to have weakened due to the rapid pace of commercial development brought about by societal changes, their strength is actually even greater among the Nine Gates."
Li Er continued, "Judging by this, the Hun family must also know about the Chen family's business with the King of Hell's Palace, which is why they are here to demand the business license."
"What exactly is this business license?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
"The business license is not an ordinary license, but one issued by the King of Hell's Palace. Any family that obtains the license can conduct transactions with the ghost messengers of the King of Hell's Palace."
Chen Xuan suddenly understood the importance of the business license.
Initially, Chen Xuan didn't quite understand. While the business seemed very profitable, he didn't believe no one else knew about it, nor that others couldn't operate such shops. Yet, why was there only one shop in the capital run by the Chen family?
Now he understood. It was because the Chen family in the capital held a business license that others did not possess. It was precisely because of this license that the Chen family could monopolize the business.
And for some unknown reason, the Hun family also knew the reason and therefore came to demand the business license, as the Hun family also wanted to engage in this kind of business.
Then everything made sense.
"Li Er, you must protect the business license properly," Chen Xuan instructed.
"Young master, please rest assured, they won't be able to take the business license."
"That's good."
Although Chen Xuan didn't know where Li Er's confidence came from, Li Er's bold promise was certainly not unfounded.
For the past two days, Chen Xuan did not return to the Su family in the capital but stayed here instead.
This place looked secluded, but it was antique and elegant. Moreover, Li Er had many precious items. Here, he could improve his Feng Shui and mystical arts!
However, the next day, a phone call from Dong Ming interrupted Chen Xuan's cultivation.
"Brother Xuan, the investigation into the Greedy Wolf Gang is complete!"
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "How is it? Is the Greedy Wolf Gang related to the Dragon Palace?"
"The Greedy Wolf Gang is a gang in the capital. Its leader is named Greedy Wolf, who founded this gang three years ago. Greedy Wolf was just a small-time hoodlum back then, but for some unknown reason, he gathered a group of people and founded the Greedy Wolf Gang."
"The Greedy Wolf Gang is ruthless and completely disregards martial ethics, making them widely detested. However, even so, they have become an influential underworld force in the capital through their brutal methods."
"According to the investigation, the reason the Greedy Wolf Gang rose rapidly in the capital is that Greedy Wolf met a certain person."
"Could it be Master Bone?" Chen Xuan's pupils contracted as he asked.
"Brother Xuan, you are indeed correct."
"It is indeed Master Bone. Master Bone is not only Greedy Wolf's strategist but also a Feng Shui master who has greatly helped Greedy Wolf from the shadows. For example, the largest gang in Qingyuan District at the time, the Qingfeng Society."
"At that time, the Qingfeng Society was stronger than the Greedy Wolf Gang, but Master Bone used sinister Feng Shui techniques, causing the chairman of the Qingfeng Society, Duan Qingfeng, to die in a car accident."
"With the chairman of the Qingfeng Society dead, the Qingfeng Society fell into chaos, and the Greedy Wolf Gang annexed the entire Qingfeng Society, becoming the largest gang in Qingyuan District."
"As for whether the Greedy Wolf Gang is related to the Dragon Palace, I think further investigation is needed. According to the latest results, I have not found any connection between the Greedy Wolf Gang and the Dragon Palace."
"This Master Bone is no simple person," Chen Xuan muttered.
Suddenly, Dong Ming said, "By the way, Brother Xuan, according to the information we received, Master Bone and the Greedy Wolf Gang will be meeting a mysterious person at the Saint's Bar tonight. Greedy Wolf seems to attach great importance to this matter."
"Have you taken action?"
"We are preparing to take action, but it has not been decided yet."
"I think I'll handle it," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Upon hearing that Chen Xuan wanted to go in person, Dong Ming became excited. He said, "Brother Xuan, shall I find a partner for you? That way, it will be easier to blend in when entering and leaving the Saint's Bar."
Chen Xuan was reluctant, but he had to admit that Dong Ming's idea was well-thought-out, so he nodded in agreement.
"According to the information we received, the Greedy Wolf Gang members will arrive at the Saint's Bar at ten o'clock tonight."
"Okay, I got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan bought two sets of clothes suitable for a nightclub style, changed into them, and drove directly to the Saint's Bar.
Upon arriving at the Saint's Bar, Chen Xuan checked the time.
It was nine-thirty in the evening. As per the arrangement, as long as he waited here, a woman wearing a purple top, a short skirt, and black stockings would come to meet him.
That woman was the reinforcement sent by the Dragon Soul team.
However, Chen Xuan waited and waited, but the person did not show up, and he couldn't help but frown.
Was the person Dong Ming found reliable?
Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly patted his left shoulder, and a woman's cold voice came from behind: "Dragon Soul's Light!"
Dragon Soul's Light was the code phrase for the rendezvous.
Chen Xuan immediately replied, "Dragon Soul's Star!"
As he spoke, Chen Xuan subconsciously turned around and saw a tall, sexy woman standing not far away.
This sexy woman was wearing a purple ripped navel top, and not to mention other areas, even her black innerwear was mostly exposed. As for her lower body, she was wearing a denim miniskirt that barely covered her buttocks.
A pair of straight, plump legs were encased in black stockings, exposed and very eye-catching.
Looking up, then looking at the face...
She had heavy smoky makeup on, and her features were delicate, making her a great beauty.
It's just... why did this person look so familiar?
The lighting here was dim, and coupled with her heavy smoky makeup, it took Chen Xuan a long time to recognize her.
This woman was none other than the proud female war god, Huo Xiaoyu!
"How is it you?"
Huo Xiaoyu also recognized Chen Xuan and her eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.
