The originally crowded trading hall had long since become deserted.
The guests had all fled.
Even the employees were trembling with fear; if it weren't for the reputation of the Wanbao Commerce Association, they would have run away long ago.
"Young Master Qin, please... please have some tea."
The steward of the service hall, a middle-aged man, brought over a cup of tea with an unnatural expression.
Although he wished to drive out this troublemaker with a stick, he had to treat him with courtesy.
While the Wanbao Commerce Association was indeed vast and powerful, this was merely a service hall for selling estates, and he was not a significant figure.
And this mysterious youth, who could easily kill the Young Master of the Dragon and Snake Gang, surely had an impressive background!!
It was best not to offend such a person.
"Thank you."
Qin Zi took the teacup, gave the man a slight smile, and pretended to take a gentle sip with composure.
Like a graceful aristocrat.
He was very steady.
In a sense, he was even steadier than his father, Qin Chuan.
Because at least Qin Chuan knew he wasn't invincible, while in Qin Zi's eyes... his father was invincible!!
Even his unfathomable master said so, so what was there to doubt?
My father is invincible!!
If that's the case, what is there to fear?
My father is right outside; who can do anything to me today? Even if the Emperor himself came, he would have to be polite!
"Young Master Qin, you were indeed a bit impulsive today. Although the Young Master of the Dragon and Snake Gang bid maliciously, he didn't deserve to die."
The middle-aged steward said quietly.
"Didn't you see, it was he who struck first?" Qin Zi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the middle-aged steward.
"That's true, but..."
"No buts!!"
Qin Zi suddenly smashed the teacup to pieces and stood up from the chair, staring fiercely at the middle-aged steward.
"Since he provoked and attacked first, why should I not kill him?"
"Is it because he is the so-called Young Master of the Dragon and Snake Gang that I, Qin Mou, must swallow my anger and bow to him?!"
The middle-aged steward trembled fiercely, instinctively taking two steps back.
At this moment, he finally understood that this young man did not regard the Dragon and Snake Gang as anything!
Which means.
This youth's background was definitely greater than the Dragon and Snake Gang's, and not just by a little...
"Who killed my son!!"
At this time, a furious shout filled with murderous intent echoed, and a large group of people surged into the trading hall.
Leading them was a burly man wearing a beast skin coat, with a slight scar on his face, appearing somewhat menacing.
This was the Dragon and Snake Gang Leader!
His sharp gaze swept across the hall and finally landed on Qin Zi, his voice cold as he said, "Little bastard, was it you who killed my son?"
"So what if I did?"
Qin Zi raised his head, speaking indifferently.
He felt a bit nervous inside.
But he knew he couldn't show weakness because his father was watching him from the shadows, and he couldn't let his father down!
"Hmm? It seems you are confident, do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader squinted his eyes, but the killing intent in them grew stronger.
"I believe you dare, but... you don't have the capability." Qin Zi said calmly and steadily.
"Ignorant brat, courting death! Today, no matter what your background is, I'm going to chop you into pieces!!"
The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader roared, gripping a Great Ring Saber in his right hand as he suddenly charged towards Qin Zi.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
His momentum was so strong that the counters on both sides exploded simultaneously, creating a terrifying scene.
"Die for me!!"
He leaped high, then gripped the saber handle with both hands, bringing it down with the power to split mountains and collapse peaks.
Killing an ant at True Essence Stage didn't require this much effort, but he wanted this person to feel the greatest fear before dying!
"Rest assured, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs; this is something I've done many times, definitely..."
He grinned ferociously, but before he finished speaking, his pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body went stiff.
Because he realized…
His saber was caught by someone!
It was a young man in a white robe, standing tall. This person extended his right hand, grabbing the blade and holding the gang leader with saber aloft.
"Definitely what, huh?"
Qin Chuan watched him with interest, asking casually.
"This... I..."
The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader stammered; his fierce words were built on the foundation of being able to win.
But if unable to win, even the slightest sound would get stuck.
"Bang!"
With a flick of Qin Chuan's right hand, a massive force spread out, the air exploded with a roar, and the Dragon and Snake Gang Leader was sent flying.
"Pfft!"
The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader landed on the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood, and looked at Qin Chuan in shock.
Just a casual flick, and he was severely wounded. This was at least the third level of Pure Yang, maybe even higher!
"What...what do you want?"
The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader clutched his chest with his right hand, looking at Qin Chuan with dread.
"You wanted to kill my son just now, and you ask me what I want? Shouldn't I be asking you?"
Qin Chuan said calmly.
"It was him who killed my son first!"
The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader said through gritted teeth.
"Then why did he kill your son?" Qin Chuan asked.
"This!" The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader was speechless.
Qin Chuan let out a mocking laugh and asked, "Why? You never care about these reasons, right?"
"In your heart, it's only natural for your son to bully people, but when others bully your son, it's not okay, right?"
"I..." The Dragon and Snake Gang Leader gritted his teeth.
"Haha, that's an interesting concept."
Qin Chuan suddenly smiled and said, "In this world, it's possible to be unreasonable, I agree with that."
But then, his gaze turned sharp: "However...it seems you don't have the strength to be unreasonable right now!!"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a massive oppressive force swept over, striking the Dragon and Snake Gang members heavily.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!"
All the members of the Dragon and Snake Gang felt an irresistible force hit them, spitting blood and flying out of the service hall.
"I don't want to kill anyone today, I hope you conduct yourself wisely, otherwise...don't blame me for eradicating the root!"
Qin Chuan said coldly to the outside.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
A chaotic noise rose outside, as if the members of the Dragon and Snake Gang were scrambling to their feet and fleeing in panic.
"Are you alright?"
Qin Chuan looked at Qin Zi and asked.
"No...I'm fine."
Qin Zi raised his head, looking at his father with burning admiration. His dad was really strong!
"Honored sir, I am the manager here, my name is Lu Ming. I apologize for not welcoming you properly on your arrival..."
The middle-aged manager walked over respectfully, speaking cautiously.
"Help me pick out a residence."
Qin Chuan said.
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
The middle-aged manager breathed a sigh of relief, fearing this honored sir would question him, considering he had previously confined the honored sir's son.
Soon, a maid brought tea.
Qin Zi instinctively wanted to drink it.
But Qin Chuan glanced at him.
Immediately, he coughed lightly and silently put down the teacup, mindful of the incident at the City Lord's Mansion in Xunyang City.
Caution, must be cautious!
Not long after, the middle-aged manager returned, followed by several maids, each carrying a model of a courtyard.
"Huh, I haven't seen these before."
Qin Zi showed a look of surprise. These courtyards were more luxurious than the one he had previously chosen, and the layout was better too.
"Haha, these are specially prepared by the Wanbao Commerce Association for strong Pure Yang realm individuals... given for free."
The middle-aged manager said with a smile.
"Free?!"
Qin Zi's eyes lit up. Such a large and luxurious residence must be worth a fortune.
Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, knowing that free things are actually the most expensive.
Monetary debt is easy to repay, favors are hard to return.
The Wanbao Commerce Association is indeed generous, willing to spend so much to invest broadly in personal connections.
Just in this Minghao City, who knows how many residences have been given away, and across the entire Nine Suns Dynasty, how many more?
No wonder it's said that the Wanbao Commerce Association has deep roots and extensive connections!
"Well then...thank you."
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, then calmly chose a grand and beautifully located residence.
Originally, he didn't want to accept such a gift.
But the residence had no price tag, and it looked quite expensive.
If he insisted on paying and then they named the price and he didn't have enough money...
Goodness!
There'd be no need to buy it, he could dig up a villa complex with his toes!
