Chapter 1098: Turn the World Upside Down

Inside Blazing Sun Pavilion, Feng Bai’s fingers flew as he operated the abacus.

“Last month, we earned a total of two thousand taels of gold!”

A moment later, he stopped and said excitedly.

“Wow!”

The rest of the people were amazed.

“Our shop is the best, right? It’s only been three months, but we’ve already come this far. The other shops are half-dead, and those who run taverns can’t earn as much even if they work all day and all night.”

“That guy from the Great Cosmic Echo Sect is quite good too, but it’s not as good as ours!”

“I haven’t seen that Qin guy in a while. I thought he was still peddling pills at the red-light district, but we can’t find him there anymore. He’s probably gone bankrupt!”

Someone said with a smile. When he talked about that Qin guy, he could not help but be disdainful.

That Qin guy had said that he would teach them a life lesson, but he disappeared instead. It was a joke.

Feng Bai sneered and said, “Does he think that he’s better than us? Ha! He really overestimated himself!”

“Alright, let’s plan. We’ll open a few branches in other cities and earn tens of thousands of gold every month. That should be enough to hire a few experts,” Feng Bai said again.

“Alright! Let’s do it! I heard that those guys who went to cultivate are progressing very slowly. We’ll definitely be the first!”

The people stood up. They were all filled with enthusiasm and drive.

At that moment, someone rushed in from outside and shouted, “Bad news!”

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Feng Bai walked out and asked the a.s.sistant.

“Something bad has happened, Storekeeper Feng! The medicine store that supplied us has been replaced. The new storekeeper said that he won’t supply our shop anymore!” The a.s.sistant was panting.

“What?”

Feng Bai’s face turned pale. “How can that be? This problem has never happened before!”

“I heard that someone bought it and changed the signboard. I think the store is called Qin’s!” The a.s.sistant said.

“Qin’s?”

Feng Bai frowned.

He had heard of the Qin’s chain of stores before. Their business was booming, and the owner had opened many new stores.

Such a big business must be well-funded, and it should be someone from the illusory realm instead of that Qin guy.

However, he did not understand why the new Qin’s store stopped their supply.

Feng Bai felt uneasy somehow.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

He waved his hand and led his people out.

When they were about to reach the new medicine store, they ran into a few groups of people. They were all trial candidates who owned pharmacies, and they had anxious expressions on their faces.

“Why are you guys…” Feng Bai was stunned.

“You too?”

They were also stunned.

The people looked at each other with vacant expressions on their faces.

“What do you mean, why? If we’re not supplying you, it means that we’re not supplying you. Go, go, get out of here!”

They were driven out of the medicine store.

The people stood in front of the medicine shop with unpleasant expressions.

“It can’t be related to that Qin guy, right?”

Someone gulped and said bitterly.

“Haha! How is that possible? Is that guy so powerful? Look, this is Qin’s Medicine Store. There’s also Qin’s Boutique, Qin’s Pharmacy, Qin’s Clothier, Qin’s Jewelry, Qin’s Tavern, Qin’s Casino, and so on. Their business is spread over a few cities. Do you think that Qin guy can do that?” Someone immediately retorted.

“That… is also true!”

The person who spoke just now smiled wryly. Even he himself thought that his guess was quite ridiculous.

How could someone gain so much wealth in only three months?

Now, the merchants in the city were all saying that the boss of Qin’s chain of stores was very powerful, and his methods were even more ruthless. He was a prodigy in the business world. That person could not have been the Qin guy.

Feng Bai also heaved a sigh of relief and said, “There’s no other way. We’ll have to look for another supplier. It’s not like that shop is the only one selling medicinal herbs.”

“Yes, yes!”

The people agreed and were about to move somewhere else.

At that moment, a horse carriage arrived in front of them.

The carriage was golden and s.h.i.+ny, and its design was exceptionally cool and eye-catching. As it sped over, it attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

“Look, that’s the logo of Qin’s stores. It must be Boss Qin!”

The people stopped in their tracks and looked over.

“d.a.m.n, how extravagant!”

They cursed enviously.

They had never known how difficult it was to start a business before they experienced it themselves. If they wanted to be as wealthy as Boss Qin, they would need to work hard for another ten years.

The carriage suddenly stopped when it went past them.

The people on the road were all stunned. They all looked curiously at the window.

They wanted to see Boss Qin’s face and ask him why he would not supply herbs to them.

A hand drew the curtain and revealed the face behind.

When everyone saw it, their bodies trembled as if they had been struck by lightning.

They were too familiar with that face.

How was that possible?

At that moment, their minds went blank.

Feng Bai’s eyes widened in disbelief.

‘How could it be that guy?

‘This is ridiculous!

‘How did he manage to build a business empire in just three months?’

“You’re all here!” Tang Hao smiled and said. “Ah, right, I forgot to tell you that I’m going to buy up the other stores as well. You’d better give up!

“From now on, there’s no place for you in Yellow Dragon City and the surrounding cities!”

As he said that, Tang Hao’s tone turned cold.

“You… Don’t go too far, Qin!”

Everyone turned livid.

They had put in so much effort to build their business. They did not want to see it destroyed just like that.

Tang Hao said coldly, “I’m not negotiating with you. This is a warning. If you don’t obey, you’ll regret it.”

“You’ve gone too far, Qin!”

A young man roared, pulled out a sword, and tried to stab Tang Hao.

Everyone in the illusory realm was a mundane person, and their strength was the same. If they died, they would leave the realm and might get disqualified. Previously, several people tried to hunt down that Qin guy, but they could not find him.

Tang Hao remained composed as he faced that sword. He did not move at all.

“You have a death wish, you thug!”

Suddenly, someone shouted. A burly man came out from behind the carriage, pulled out a large ax, and chopped that guy.

“Ahh!”

The young man managed to let out a short scream before his head was split into two halves. He turned into white light and disappeared.

Feng Bai and the others were greatly shocked. They did not expect to find an expert here.

Tang Hao glanced at all of them and smiled maliciously. “Senior, all the people here are that guy’s accomplices, and they want to a.s.sa.s.sinate me. You saw it just now, right?”

Feng Bai and the others turned pale. Their bodies trembled out of fear.

They knew what that Qin guy was trying to achieve.

“We’re not!”

“Qin, you b*stard!”

They cursed angrily as they ran away.

“Kill them!”

Tang Hao shouted coldly.

“Yes!” The burly man leaped up and chased after them with the big ax. He chopped those people up like chopping vegetables.

“F*ck your ancestors, Qin…”

Feng Bai died just like that. He turned into white light and disappeared.

Tang Hao sat in the carriage and watched everything coldly.

When the burly man came back, he said, “Follow me. Let’s kill some more people!”

“Yes,” the burly man responded. He carried the huge ax on his back and climbed on the horse.

Several people were following the carriage. All of them had extraordinary qi auras.

Tang Hao looked up at the sky and muttered, “This illusory world is quite interesting. Let me turn this place upside down!”

Then, he closed the curtain.

The carriage began to move toward Yellow Dragon Village.
