Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The House Was Burned Down

”Foster father, I have mobilized all our power to search for the locations of the remaining several blue stone discs. Based on the current situation, we can confirm that the chairman of Dragon Tiger Corporation, Dong Xiaotian, should have one of the blue stone discs,” Mo Shaocong said.

”Dong Xiaotian! I didn’t expect that he would also have one of the blue stone discs.”

”Father, this Dong Xiaotian is not easy to provoke. It won’t be so simple to get the blue stone disc from his hands.”

Mo Shuqian and Mo Shumei said one after another.

”No matter what, we must obtain those blue stone discs at any cost. Shaocong, you are responsible for Dong Xiaotian, Qian’er, and Mei’er, you are responsible for the Yang Family. Try your best to get these two blue stone discs,” Mo Sihai said in a deep voice.

The three Mo Shuqian nodded in agreement.

The next day, when sunlight streamed into Xiao Yifeng’s room, his eyes opened, a flicker of sharpness flashed by, and his whole body released a strong and domineering aura.

”Transformative Energy Stage Great Perfection, it seems that it’s still difficult to break through to the Gang Qi Realm!”

Xiao Yifeng murmured to himself. His strength had reached the Great Perfection of the Transformative Energy Stage a year ago, but he had made no breakthroughs in this year’s events.

He originally thought that with the power of the Blood Spirit Stone, he could break through, but now the energy of the Blood Spirit Stone had been completely absorbed and it had become a transparent stone. Although his strength had improved considerably, he still hadn’t broken through to the Gang Qi Realm!

The Martial Path is such that Ming strength is considered an entry-level checkpoint, and there is similarly a gate between Transformative Energy and the Gang Qi Realm.

Stepping into the Gang Qi Realm allows one to transform physical strength into Gang Qi, emanating from the body to form a powerful combat force. Only when one reaches the Gang Qi Realm can one be considered a true master of martial arts.

Perhaps because of his cultivation technique and physique, Xiao Yifeng had been unable to break through to the Gang Qi Realm, and without breaking through, he couldn’t enter the higher Qi Condensation Realm. Thus, he wouldn’t be able to fulfill the promise he made to his mother.

Taking out the Jade Pendant he carried with him, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with determination, and he said, ”Mom, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down.”

After tidying up, he walked out of the room and saw Ye Yaxin coming downstairs. The latter saw him and looked at him with a cold expression, ”Tonight, Mo Group is holding an auction at Century Hotel. You’re coming with me.”

”An auction!”

Xiao Yifeng was taken aback, thinking of the jewelry exhibition held by Mo’s that he had attended before, where Mo Sihai had mentioned an upcoming auction with a variety of precious jewels to be auctioned off.

At this thought, Xiao Yifeng’s mind was filled with a flurry of thoughts about the blue stone discs.

”Did you hear me?”

Seeing that Xiao Yifeng didn’t respond right away, Ye Yaxin frowned and called out coldly.

”Oh, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll attend. By the way, wife, do you want me to buy some jewelry for you?” Xiao Yifeng said with a smiling face as he looked at Ye Yaxin.

”No need!” Ye Yaxin said icily, and left the place.

”She really is cold!” Xiao Yifeng muttered to himself.

Just then, Xiao Yifeng’s phone rang. It was Dahu calling.

”Hello, Dahu, what’s up?” Xiao Yifeng asked.

”What? I understand.” Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed, and he said a word before quickly leaving the villa and driving towards the slums.

In these slums, the house where Fang Siqi’s family once lived had now turned into rubble, with a strong stench of char wafting everywhere. The entire house had been burned down, and around it, there were a group of firefighters and police officers.

Fang Siqi’s family looked on with heavy expressions and ugly faces at the ruins in front of them. Mother Fang was sobbing on Fang Zhen’s body, Fang Siqi had a hint of sadness on her face, while Fang Zhenghua was red with anger.

”Asshole, it must have been that bunch of people, right? Otherwise, how could our house just suddenly catch fire?” Fang Zhenghua said with an ice-cold expression.

”Let’s calm down first and get to the bottom of this before we talk,” Fang Zhenguo urged.

At that moment, a police officer approached them and said, ”Based on the on-site investigation, this appears to be a case of arson. We need you to come to the police station with us for further questioning.”

”Just as I thought, it must be those bastards from the Xu Corporation.”

Fang Zhenghua shouted angrily.

”Boy, you better watch your mouth. You’re slandering my Xu Corporation!”

Just then, a cold rebuke sounded as a group of people walked over, led by none other than Xu Ming, who had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, flanked by a group of men in suits, all from the Xu Corporation.

”You’re with the Xu Corporation?” Fang Zhenghua glared at Xu Ming.

”How dare you speak to the Young Master of our Xu Corporation like that,” a middle-aged man beside Xu Ming immediately said indignantly.

”So it’s the Young Master of the Xu Corporation, you bunch of damn bastards!”

Fang Zhenghua was furious and threw a punch with all his might.

Bang!

Fang Zhenghua was kicked to the ground by Xu Ming, who nonchalantly tossed his cigarette onto him, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

”Big brother!”

Fang Siqi rushed forward to help Fang Zhenghua up.

”What are you doing?”

Dahu and Erhu both charged over, their eyes coldly fixed on Xu Ming and his entourage.

”You people from the Xu Corporation really have no regard for the law, brazenly setting fire to our home,” Fang Zhenguo said with a stern voice.

”Old man, you can eat without rules but you can’t talk nonsense. Which of your eyes saw it was us from the Xu Corporation who set fire to your house?” Xu Ming huffed coldly.

”You assholes, all you want is to force us to agree to the relocation, but dream on! Even if you burn down our house, this land is still ours,” Fang Zhenguo said with anger on his face.

Xu Ming’s eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, and he sneered, ”Old man, you really are stubborn. But do you think I’m out of options? I have plenty of ways to make sure you can’t live in peace.”

”If we keep being this stubborn, the end result for our family will just be sleeping on the streets, and let me tell you clearly,”

”Even if you agree to the relocation, the Xu Corporation will only give you two hundred thousand. Not a penny more. As for the other residents, if they agree to relocate now, each household will get six hundred thousand; otherwise, they’ll end up just like your family.”

Upon hearing Xu Ming’s words, the residents of the shanty area exchanged glances, looked at the rubble that was once a home, and after a moment of hesitation, many agreed.

They were obviously afraid that their own homes would be burned next and then they would end up with nothing, even though the six hundred thousand was quite less than the government’s assessed relocation fee of eight hundred fifty thousand.

But it was still better than the Fang family’s mere two hundred thousand, not to mention their home reduced to ashes. Given the circumstances, they could only agree.
