"I have something else to attend to, we can talk tomorrow."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, and just as Malinte was about to enter the house, he was surprised to hear this reply.
The accompanying bodyguards were stunned and glared at Er Zhu angrily. They clenched their fists, as if they would act as soon as their master gave the order!
This Chinese man truly didn't know his limits!
It was already a great honor for their master to approach him for cooperation, yet he actually refused!
*Bang!*
As a bodyguard was about to step forward, a loud noise was heard, and Er Zhu slammed the door shut!
"Master, such an arrogant person is not worthy of our cooperation. We should escort you home."
"Exactly, does he really think being the richest man in China makes him special? China is one of the weakest countries in the world!"
"Yes, I heard that hundreds of millions of people in China can't get enough to eat. What's he so proud of, a bunch of poor wretches!"
...
Seeing Er Zhu close the door, the bodyguards could no longer hold back and stepped forward one after another.
"Alright, every country has disparities between rich and poor, this is normal. I am a businessman, and I only discuss cooperation!"
Seeing that the bodyguards were once again speaking up for him, Malinte's face darkened, and he swept his gaze at them impatiently.
"Even if it's cooperation, the richest man of a weak country like his is not worthy!"
"Exactly, Master, you are famous on the world's rich list. Who is this Wang Er Zhu?"
"The Malin family is one of the top elite families in the entire Western world, a level that Wang Er Zhu can only look up to!"
...
Hearing this, many bodyguards who had wanted to remain silent spoke up again, their proud expressions as if the Malin family belonged to them.
"That's enough! Wang Er Zhu's business is booming, he doesn't need cooperation at all. Such behavior is normal. Let's go back to the hotel and talk tomorrow!"
Seeing the bodyguards becoming more and more arrogant, Malinte, fearing Er Zhu might overhear, interrupted them again.
The bodyguards were still unconvinced, but seeing their master's increasingly grim expression, they could only fall silent.
Meanwhile, Er Zhu couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense; he was focusing intently on his cultivation.
However, the result of his cultivation was that his spiritual energy kept increasing, while the Minghong Saber and the peach wood sword became more and more worn!
Especially the Minghong Saber, not only was it rusty, but the tip was also chipped!
Such a broken saber wouldn't even be picked up if left on the street!
A hint of disgust flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He had intended to ask the River God about it, but he felt there must be a hidden reason, so he didn't pry further.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Er Zhu then remembered Malinte, and they agreed to meet at the Purple Moon Hotel.
"My apologies, Mr. Malinte, I really had something to attend to yesterday."
Seeing Malinte, Er Zhu nodded slightly, a hint of apology in his eyes.
"It's alright. As the richest man in China, it's normal to be busy with many important matters."
Malinte smiled faintly, waved his hand dismissively, and sat down opposite Er Zhu.
"Mr. Malinte, how would you like to cooperate?"
Er Zhu didn't speak, just smiled slightly. Without unnecessary words, he got straight to the point.
"I will help you expand the market in Ur Country, but you must also agree to one condition!"
Seeing Er Zhu's directness, Malinte didn't beat around the bush and revealed his intentions.
"Marry my daughter and love her forever!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to speak, Malinte suddenly said this.
Faced with such a request, Er Zhu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He knew these foreigners wouldn't approach him for cooperation without a reason, and he hadn't expected such a condition.
"To be honest, the only reason I'm cooperating with you is because my daughter Li Ya wants to be with you. Otherwise, someone like you wouldn't even qualify to meet me!"
Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, Malinte sneered, his face full of arrogance.
"Hurry up and agree. It's a blessing accumulated over lifetimes for our young lady to fancy you!"
"I don't know what our young lady is thinking, to actually like a Chinese man like you!"
"Mr. Wang, such a good opportunity won't come again, you must think carefully!"
...
Seeing that Er Zhu still hadn't spoken, the bodyguards behind Malinte couldn't help but step forward. They looked at Er Zhu with sly smiles, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Their master was so protective of this Chinese man, they had thought he truly appreciated him, but it turned out to be because of the young lady!
However, the young lady's taste was truly poor. She rejected so many wealthy young masters and insisted on choosing such a lowly Chinese man!
"I will not agree to this condition. You should know that I already have a fiancée!"
Facing their contempt and disdain, Er Zhu shook his head slightly and replied with absolute certainty.
"I know, but your fiancée is just a rural widow. My daughter is the beloved jewel of my elite family, a world-renowned socialite. You should know who to choose!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Malinte interjected. Although his face was smiling, Er Zhu still caught the disdain and arrogance in his eyes.
"Indeed, a rural widow and a world-renowned socialite cannot be compared. However, such a world-renowned socialite is not worthy of me, Wang Er Zhu!"
Er Zhu sneered, left these words, and turned to leave. But just then, Malinte's voice came from behind: "Wang Er Zhu, you will regret this!"
Er Zhu glanced at Malinte from the corner of his eye and strode away.
Regret?
In his dictionary, Wang Er Zhu had never had the word regret!
"Master, this Chinese man is truly ungrateful. No wonder their country is so weak!"
"Master, you must teach this Chinese man a good lesson. He will definitely crawl on the ground begging you then!"
...
Watching Er Zhu's departing back, Malinte's bodyguards stepped forward again, saying indignantly.
"Prepare the car, I also need to pay some friends a visit!"
Malinte snorted coldly, cast a disdainful glance at Er Zhu, and walked out of the hotel.
This Wang Er Zhu was truly too arrogant. If the tiger doesn't show its power, they think it's a sick cat!
On the other side, just as Er Zhu was about to get into his car, he heard a *bang*. Er Zhu looked down and saw a blood-soaked woman lying at his feet.
"Save... save me..."
The dying woman clutched Er Zhu's trouser leg, raising her head and weakly begging.
Looking at the foreign woman with blue hair and eyes, Er Zhu nodded slightly and was about to lift her into the car.
"Put her down, and get lost if you don't want to die!"
But at that moment, rough Chinese came from ahead. Er Zhu looked up and saw over a dozen burly foreigners standing in front of him.
They glared at him with murderous eyes, as if looking at a dead man!
"No, don't leave me, sir!"
Seeing that Er Zhu didn't speak, the woman lying on the ground thought Er Zhu was going to abandon her and pleaded with all her might.
"Get lost!" The woman's plea further enraged the burly foreigners. The leader even pointed a gun at Er Zhu!
