Volume 10 Chapter 65 Yizhen Company (Part 1)

“My adjutant is missing?” Baimu dropped the bloody tiger in his hand.

Apart from his might in battle, Baimu’s lust for blood was part of what made him famous; the only language he understood was what he could communicate with his limbs. He’d feel restless if he didn’t kill someone or something daily, so he took on wild beasts in the woods if he couldn’t kill someone.

Not one of Baimu’s underlings batted an eyelid as he gouged out the slain tiger’s innards. To the contrary, they looked thrilled.

Baimu’s five present underlings were part of Baimu’s personally trained fifteen-man assault squad - Fifteen Wraiths. Although the adjutant general held a higher rank than them, he was a soldier of the state of Baimu and no match for them.

Baimu raised the tiger up to pour its blood into his mouth and then hurled it aside. “Find him. I want to hear from him personally. If he was captured, kill him, and then kill his captors.”

Infected with Baimu’s aggression, they sonorously responded, “Roger!”

Nobody kept count of how many businesses there were at Giant intersection in Xiuyu when it was common for businesses to come and go throughout the year. Thus, it was perfectly normal to the residents when the new store of a disgruntled young master of Luoyang made its debut in the city.

“I’ll take half a kilo!”

“I’ll take six hundred grams!”

There was almost never a moment customers were eager to fork out money whenever she was around, yet all she did was welcome them, smile, giggle softly and be present. The earnings from their grand opening alone blew their expectations out of the water.

“Thank you.”

When customers left, they’d stop at the door to have one more look. If stepping into the store was stepping into Jiangnan, exiting the store was waking up from a dream - though it’d take a second for it to dawn on them.

“M-may I ask what your name is, Miss?” It took seemingly forever for someone to have the courage to ask for her name.

Cheeks rosy and hands fidgety, she answered, “The… the owner of this store is my husband.”

One would first assume that she shattered their hearts with her answer, yet their customers doubled not long after word hit the streets. Had it been anywhere else, they would’ve thrown in the towel, but they were in Xiuyu, Green Prince’s territory. In Xiuyu, there was the infamous Eloping Phenomenon. As a result, Yizhen Company’s business boomed to the extent that they received orders for more goods than they had, and they required everyone, even Luo Mingzhu, A-Lan and Mountain Monster to help out.

“If we don’t do any business, how can we convince people we’re a business group?” was the primary reason S
