The other party did not expect Su Fan's attitude to be so firm. He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Since Su Fan wanted Tong Ya's shares, he would definitely not let go of the 10% shares in his hands. He thought this was just a way to suppress the price.
"Yu Tong, don't bother with Tong Ya's stock issues recently. Let it drop," Su Fan said to Su Yu Tong.
"But if it keeps dropping like this, we'll lose a lot of shareholders," Su Yu Tong said hesitantly.
"It's fine, I'll cover the lost money. Just do as I say," Su Fan assured Su Yu Tong.
"Alright." With Su Fan's guarantee, she could only comply. After all, Su Fan was now the person in charge of Tong Ya.
Since Su Yu Tong had to busy herself with company affairs, Su Fan had to go to Aunt Liu's house alone to sign the contract.
Su Fan's current funds were running low, with only tens of millions left, but it was enough to buy a house.
Once the exhibition ended and Hong Fan Jewelry gained fame, a large amount of capital would flow in.
"Aunt Liu," Su Fan called out to Aunt Liu upon arriving at the villa.
"The contract is here. Take a look. I've already packed up and will be moving out soon," Aunt Liu said, handing Su Fan the contract she had prepared.
Su Fan checked it and found no issues. After signing the contract and transferring the property deed, the villa officially belonged to Su Fan.
Su Fan transferred forty-two million to Aunt Liu.
"Little Su, you can move in tomorrow. I'm flying abroad tonight. Here's the villa key. It's yours now," Aunt Liu handed the villa key to Su Fan. This place was now completely disconnected from her.
She didn't want to return to this place of sorrow.
After returning from the villa area, Su Fan began packing his belongings, planning to move the next day.
In the evening, Su Fan entered the game again to continue the storyline.
[Main Quest: Pick Up Goods]
A batch of goods from Yong'an Pawnshop is about to be delivered to Tianxin City. The boss cannot leave. Please go out of the city on behalf of the boss of Yong'an Pawnshop to collect the goods.
Su Fan headed directly outside Tianxin City.
Outside Tianxin City, a group of escorts sat dejectedly on the ground.
"Are you from Qingyuan Escort Agency? I'm here to collect goods for Yong'an Pawnshop," Su Fan asked the leading escort.
Although he knew what had happened, he still had to go through the motions.
"Sigh!"
The escort sighed.
"Our escort was robbed, and your goods are lost," the escort said dejectedly.
Losing an escort not only meant compensating the client for all losses but also meant their escort agency's reputation would be damaged, and no one might dare to hire them in the future.
This was why escort agencies would try their best to protect their escorts. Once an escort was lost, it meant they would be unemployed.
"What happened? Who robbed you?"
"A group of bandits from the willow forest, led by a scar-faced man. They stole our goods while we were resting. When we discovered it, the goods were already gone. After fighting with them, we lost several brothers, and although they also lost a few men, we didn't get the goods back," the escort said with annoyance.
They were so close to Tianxin City, and they had become careless. Who would have thought they would be robbed at the foot of Tianxin City?
"Where were you robbed, and are they still there?" Su Fan asked.
"You want to help us get the goods back?" the escort asked with surprise.
Su Fan nodded.
"If I can, I will help you get the goods back."
"That's great! Thank you, young hero, for your help!"
[New Quest: Reclaim the Goods]
Help the people of Qingyuan Escort Agency retrieve the lost goods.
After receiving the quest prompt, Su Fan immediately set off for the quest location. A guiding bee took him directly to the spot.
It was a bandit den located in a willow forest, not large, just a camp with a total of ten people.
Su Fan scouted the camp from the shadows. In most games, this was the point where the main character would lead the way and charge in.
But Su Fan didn't have a main character now; he had to rely on himself. During his first playthrough, he had defeated them one by one to complete this quest.
This time, Su Fan planned to do the same, opting for a stealth approach.
The first to be dealt with were the sentries, two in total: one at the entrance and one on the watchtower.
The bandit on the watchtower could see the guard at the entrance at a glance, so the person at the entrance couldn't be touched. The one on the watchtower had to be dealt with first.
Su Fan used the grass for cover, climbed over the wall, avoided the patrol's line of sight, and slowly climbed onto the watchtower when the patrolling bandit had just passed.
As Su Fan reached the watchtower, the bandit hadn't noticed anything yet. Su Fan covered the other's mouth from behind and slit his throat with a sword.
The bandit struggled briefly before dying.
This was another game mechanic in "Martial Arts Hegemony": the instant kill.
When in stealth or undetected, hitting an enemy's vital point could trigger an instant kill.
Su Fan gently placed the body down and hid on the watchtower, waiting for the patrolling bandit to pass again.
When the patrolling bandit passed again, Su Fan quickly descended from the watchtower, circled behind the guard at the entrance, and assassinated him.
There were now two patrols in the camp, three drinking, and three resting.
Su Fan absolutely could not be discovered. If he were, the ones drinking and resting would come, and Su Fan would face an attack from seven or eight people.
Su Fan remembered that the lost goods were in a warehouse. He wondered if he could retrieve the goods without being discovered. In his previous playthroughs, he had always used brute force, never attempting this, but now it seemed feasible.
However, he had to eliminate the two patrols first, otherwise, he wouldn't have a chance to reach the warehouse.
The two patrols were not together but alternated their rounds, making it difficult to find blind spots. But this also gave Su Fan an opportunity.
Su Fan stood on the wall. As one of the patrolling bandits passed, he leaped down and stabbed the bandit from above with his sword.
The bandit was instantly killed, but it also made quite a noise.
The other patrolling bandit looked over curiously. Due to the houses blocking the view, he didn't see anything and walked over curiously.
Su Fan quickly dragged the body into a nearby haystack and hid inside himself.
The other bandit walked over curiously and soon discovered a pool of blood on the ground, becoming instantly alert.
If this were a game, a question mark would have appeared above his head.
He followed the bloodstains to the haystack and looked at it curiously, bending down to pull it apart.
Su Fan, inside, gripped his long sword tightly. As the haystack was pulled apart, Su Fan swiftly thrust his sword into the bandit's heart.
The long sword plunged directly into the other's heart. The bandit looked at Su Fan in horror before falling to the ground.
Su Fan climbed out of the haystack, brushing off the grass.
At that moment, a bandit came out of a room whistling, intending to relieve himself. He saw Su Fan and both froze in surprise.
