Return of the Celestial King

The moment he got in the car, Zhao Peng felt his heart pound. He was on edge, unable to sit still.

Jiang Liang slowly lit a cigarette and began to smoke, lost in his own world.

As long as he didn’t speak, Zhao Peng didn’t dare to ask any questions.

Jiang Liang exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly,

”Do you know why I’ve come looking for you?”

Zhao Peng quickly shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

Jiang Liang sneered and said,

”Chen Man Ni is the woman I love!”

At these words, Zhao Peng’s eyes went wide for a moment. Then, realization dawned, and his face flushed red with excitement.

Jiang Liang continued,

”But Chen Man Ni likes that kid, Qin Tuo. So I’ve come to Ming City to drive him out. Now you understand my purpose, don’t you?”

Hearing this, Zhao Peng was finally overcome with joy, unable to stop a grin from spreading across his flushed face.

”Young Master Jiang, rest assured, I’m willing to help you get rid of that Qin Tuo!”

In Zhao Peng’s eyes, Jiang Liang was a young master from the Provincial City, and the Jiang Family’s power was at its zenith. Few would dare to provoke them.

To someone like Jiang Liang, Qin Tuo’s so-called backers—the likes of Ouyang Tianqi, Long Wu, and Chen Wenxiong—were utterly insignificant.

Jiang Liang nodded, clearly satisfied with Zhao Peng’s response.

Then, Zhao Peng impatiently asked,

”Young Master Jiang, do you have a specific plan?”

Jiang Liang nodded and chuckled sinisterly.

”Of course I do. I’ll tell you right now.”

With that, he leaned in and whispered a few words into Zhao Peng’s ear.

After he finished, Zhao Peng turned pale with shock, his lips trembling!

”Young Master Jiang, won’t this completely offend the Chen Family? The Zhao Family can’t withstand their retaliation!”

The Zhao Family was already on the verge of collapse. Provoking a behemoth like the Chen Family would be pure suicide.

Seeing his fearful expression, a flash of contempt crossed Jiang Liang’s eyes.

He puffed out his chest and said brazenly,

”Look at you, you pathetic coward. With me here, you’re afraid of the measly Chen Family?”

Zhao Peng was momentarily stunned. ’That’s true,’ he thought.

The Jiang Family from the Provincial City was countless times stronger than the Chen Family!

’With Jiang Liang here to back me up, what do I have to be afraid of?’

”Young Master Jiang, since you’ve said so, I can rest easy.”

Jiang Liang gave a casual nod, then snapped his fingers. Two bodyguards immediately got into the car.

Seeing the two bodyguards, Zhao Peng instantly grew cautious.

He could tell at a glance that these two were highly skilled fighters!

Their bodies were rippling with exceptionally well-developed muscles, their faces grim, and they exuded a formidable aura.

Jiang Liang said with great arrogance,

”I’m lending you two of my elite bodyguards. You can order them to do anything you want.”

Zhao Peng immediately nodded vigorously, his heart racing with excitement.

He knew that with such powerful bodyguards, he could solve a lot of his problems!

Jiang Liang added a final instruction.

”These two bodyguards of mine are quite strong. And after this is done, my Jiang Family will help your Zhao Family become the number one powerhouse in Ming City. So, you know what to do now, right?”

Zhao Peng was instantly elated, a smile plastered across his face.

”Thank you, Young Master Jiang! I, Zhao Peng, will be at your beck and call, without a single complaint!”

A smile touched the corner of Jiang Liang’s lips. He then gestured out the window with his finger.

”You can get out now. And have that woman come keep me company tonight!”

Zhao Peng didn’t mind in the slightest, his face wreathed in a sycophantic smile.

”Young Master Jiang, she’s just a woman. Please, feel free to use her!”

With that, Zhao Peng respectfully exited the car.

At that moment, Jiang Liang ordered his bodyguards, who wordlessly hauled Xu Min into the vehicle.

Xu Min was in a panic, and she quickly asked Zhao Peng,

”What’s going on? What are they going to do to me?”

Zhao Peng snorted, a vicious sneer spreading across his face. ”You little bitch. Keep Young Master Jiang happy tonight, and you’ll be well-rewarded.”

With that, Zhao Peng turned and left without a second glance.

Xu Min was stunned for a moment, but when she processed his words, her eyes filled with extreme ambition and anticipation!

She even quickly reached up and pulled down her collar, revealing a large patch of pale skin.

Soon after, the SUV began to shake violently.

...

「The next morning」

Qin Tuo drove to Hong Lou bright and early.

Soon, Long Wu finished up his business and hurried to the private room.

”Celestial King, you’ve arrived?”

Long Wu greeted him respectfully.

Qin Tuo nodded and asked,

”Long Wu, how did the sale of those twenty Small Rejuvenation Pills I gave you go?”

At Qin Tuo’s question, a look of helplessness crossed Long Wu’s face, and he shook his head.

”Celestial King, there’s been a change of plans. Not many people believed me. Not a single one of those twenty Small Rejuvenation Pills has been sold!”

Qin Tuo was completely bewildered.

”Oh? Not a single one sold? How could that be?”

Long Wu gave a bitter smile and said,

”Celestial King, you might not know this, but these guys are extremely cautious. They simply don’t believe such an amazing pill would be put up for sale. I talked until I was blue in the face, but I couldn’t convince them.”

Evidently, Long Wu had tried very hard to sell the pills, but he had been met with resistance at every turn.

Qin Tuo thought for a moment, then suggested a plan.

”How about this, Long Wu? Try some scarcity marketing. See how that works!”

”Oh? Scarcity marketing?”

Long Wu was a bit slow to catch on.

Qin Tuo nodded and continued to explain,

”First, gather some wealthy men for a banquet. Give away five pills for free and let them try them on the spot to see the effects. Once they see how good it is, you won’t have any trouble selling the pills.”

After hearing this, Long Wu’s eyes lit up, and he showered Qin Tuo with praise.

”Celestial King, that’s an excellent idea! I’ll start making calls right now and give it a try!”

Then, right in front of Qin Tuo, Long Wu made several calls to a group of wealthy men.

Out of respect for Long Wu, these men agreed to come to the banquet at Hong Lou immediately.

Before long, the wealthy men began to arrive one after another.

Qin Tuo noticed that most of these men were on the older side. Some had big bellies and bald heads, and it was clear they suffered from various minor ailments.

Among them was a particularly sleazy-looking middle-aged man with lecherous eyes. He was unsteady on his feet, his body clearly ravaged by debauchery.

”Master Long, what did you call us here for?”

One of the men couldn’t help but ask.

Long Wu said mysteriously,

”Inviting you all to a banquet today is secondary. More importantly, I wanted to give you all something to try!”

”Oh? And what might that be?”

The wealthy men were all thoroughly confused.

Then, Long Wu had everyone take a seat before pulling out five Small Rejuvenation Pills.
