Cosmic Professional Gladiator

Chapter 216 First-Rate Expert (Part 1) (2)

As the Flower Moon Gang’s boss, he liked to crush his opponent with an absolute advantage.

First-rate experts… were definitely considered big shots in Lanyue City. They were much rarer than second-rate experts, and they didn’t take action easily.

Young Master Chang Yi and Old Master Lu were going through the transfer process.

“Thirteen rice shops and three restaurants. Young Master Chang, it’s really a big transaction.” The official broker praised him as they went through the procedures.

Chang Yi smiled.

Yes, he had sold 13 rice shops and three restaurants to Old Master Lu.

In the past month, he had seen many reputable figures in the city. Every time, he would peddle his other assets. After the negotiations were completed, Chang Yi also made an agreement with the two buyers—they would carry out the transfer on the same day to catch the Flower Moon Gang off-guard.

The rice shops and restaurants were sold to Old Master Lu.

The gambling den and ancestral home were sold to Old Master Zhang.

He was to get the deal done in one day!

“Where do you plan on going in the future, Young Master Chang?” Old Master Lu smiled and chatted.

“I’m not cut out for business. I’ll sell them first before deciding what to do next,” Chang Yi replied.

Suddenly, a gray-shirted man came to the official brokerage and walked to its manager. He whispered, “The boss has given orders for the brokerage to close for the day and not allow them to do the ownership transfer. The boss has already prepared a banquet for everyone at the Drunken Fairy Restaurant.”

“How can the official brokerage shut down?” Superintendent Hou was a little anxious. “There are so many people waiting.”

“Boss has given his orders; close for a day!” The gray-shirted man stared at him.

“One day-just one day!” Superintendent Hou whispered. “This is my limit!”

Superintendent Hou immediately got up and said, “I received an emergency order to temporarily close the brokerage. All unrelated personnel are to leave.”

“There’s no rush.” Old Master Lu frowned. “The transfer of the rice shop restaurant is almost complete. There’s no rush, right?”

Superintendent Hou looked at Old Master Lu. “I received orders from the Prefecture Head to rush over.”

“What order is it?” Old Master Lu frowned. “If it’s a huge matter, I won’t stop you. If it’s a small matter… I’ll apologize to the Prefecture Head on your behalf. What? Superintendent Hou, are you not going to do me this favor?”

Superintendent Hou’s expression turned ugly.

Chang Yi watched from the side.

The two people he chose to take over his assets were Ninth Master Lu and Zhang Kui. They had great backgrounds and weren’t afraid of the Flower Moon Gang.

In fact, it seemed like Commander Wu and the three gangs were the strongest in Lanyue City. But in reality, places such as the Seven Kills Building, the official bank, and the wealthy nobles who controlled Lanyue City’s economic lifeline all had astonishing backgrounds.

Ninth Master Lu was once a personal guard of the empire’s Protectorate. Later, he retired and returned home in glory.

Ninth Master Lu was a man who stood for justice. He had no qualms berating the bosses of the three gangs in public, and those people could only suck it up! “Hurry up,” Old Master Lu urged.

The officials looked at Superintendent Hou and quickly finished the work. “Thank you, Master Lu,” Chang Yi said gratefully. “That white-haired old man from the Flower Moon Gang is very sinister,” Grandpa Lu whispered. “Young man, be careful.”

After settling Chang Yi and Old Master Lu’s transfer, Superintendent Hou immediately raised his voice after Master Lu left. “Alright, we can’t wait any longer. The official brokerage will be closed immediately. Everyone, please leave.”

“Master Zhang, the official brokerage is tightly shut today.” Miss Qingyu personally went to his residence to apologize. “The date we agreed on can only be delayed by one day. I hope you understand, Master Zhang.”

“Hahaha… It’s nothing.” Zhang Kui sat there and twirled some iron balls in his hand. He was nearly ten feet tall and looked like a giant. His eyes were like bronze bells that emitted a sense of oppression as he smiled and said, “However, I have to remind your Young Master Chang that everyone in Lanyue City knows that the Flower Moon Gang is keeping an eye on your Chang family. The official brokerage was closed today, so the Flower Moon Gang will definitely not hold back. I hope to see Young Master Chang alive tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Master Zhang.” Qingyu bowed. Old Master Zhang Kui actually represented the 19 Flowing Wind Bandits-a terrifying bandit gang! The leader was rumored to be a super-first-rate expert, and the other 18 were all first-rate experts.

The bandits they led plundered all across the empire! They had no qualms killing the Blood Rain Guards! Yet, they remained free to this day!

The officials failed to entrap them several times, establishing the 19 Flowing Wind Bandits’ reputation.

The three gangs of Lanyue City were far inferior to the 19 Flowing Wind Bandits!

In fact, Zhang Kui actually helped launder the stolen goods.

******

In the Chang family residence.

7,000 taels of silver. Chang Yi looked at the silver notes in front of him in his room and felt delighted.

Thirteen rice shops and three restaurants sold for a total of 7,000 taels of silver!

Banknotes from the official bank. Chang Yi was in a good mood. Only I know the cipher.

Even if someone stole the banknotes, they couldn’t get the money without the cipher.

There were two ways to withdraw money. The first was banknotes together with the cipher, which allowed anyone to withdraw money. The other was the owner of the banknote. As long as he went in person and proved his identity, he could withdraw money without the banknotes!

Once I complete the transaction with Zhang Kui by selling the gambling den and the ancestral residence, it will be a success, Chang Yi thought. However, the Flower Moon Gang closed the official brokerage today. It looks like they are panicking Hmph… Flower Moon Gang, do you think it’s that easy to snatch my silver? Chang Yi’s eyes were cold.

The Chang family was heavily guarded, and many guards felt the stifling atmosphere. “As long as I complete the transaction with Master Zhang, I’ll be done. That will also signify the end of your mission; there’s no need to wait until the three months are up.” Chang Yi invited Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng over.

“Thank you, Young Master Chang.” Xu Jingming and the others thanked him.

It had only been a month, yet the mission would end soon. It was indeed a joyous occasion.

Chang Yi continued, “There’s a high chance that the Flower Moon Gang will launch a sneak attack today. This time, we have to crush a few of their teeth.”

“Don’t worry.” Qingyu smiled and said, “We don’t have to make a last stand. After all, Young Master can secretly log off at any time. When it’s time to retreat, I’ll give the order.”

“If the three of you die in battle,” Chang Yi said, “I’ll pay an additional 100,000 cosmic dollars. The three of you can change your identities tomorrow morning before rendezvousing with me.”

“No problem.” Miss Ziteng and Mr. Lu nodded.

As players, they didn’t care about death.

Die in battle? Xu Jingming frowned. He had an appointment with the Fei family to go to the capital.

“Oh.” Chang Yi looked at Xu Jingming. “Mr. Jing has made arrangements with the Fei family, so you don’t have to risk your life for me. You can retreat when the situation goes south and hide somewhere nobody can see. You can choose to log off as well.”

“I’ll do my best.” Xu Jingming nodded.

The only condition for logging off in Blood Rain World was that no native could see them. “Come, come, let’s drink.” Chang Yi was in a good mood. No matter what, he had already sold half of the Chang family’s assets, and he had carefully hidden the banknotes.

Gradually, night fell.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Without any concealment, troops rushed over and surrounded the Chang family residence. There were over a thousand people.

The guards in charge of the Chang family’s defense stood on ladders and looked over the wall. Their expressions couldn’t help but change.

“There are so many people.”

“It’s all people! The Flower Moon Gang is here!”

“It’s Flower Moon Gang’s Team Red Moon!”

These guards easily recognized the Flower Moon Gang’s famous Team Red Moon-they were the Flower Moon Gang’s strongest gang members. There were a total of 3,000 people, and they were divided into six teams, helmed by six captains! They usually followed the gang’s higher-ups, but one team had been sent for this operation. There were also 500 elites from Phoenix Lake Hall, and Phoenix Lake Hall’s hall master, Cui Xiaodao, was among them.

“Just this residence?” The thin Elder Feng looked at the residence coldly and saw that the eyes of the guards looking over the wall were filled with fear.

“Elder, shall I begin?” a captain of Team Red Moon asked.

Elder Feng nodded slightly. The captain of Team Red Moon swept his gaze across the residence and said coldly, “This is your last chance to live. Surrender now, and I’ll spare your lives!” The dense crowd of Red Moon members shouted in unison, “Yield, and you’ll be spared!”

“Yield, and you’ll be spared!” “Yield, and you’ll be spared!” “Yield, and you’ll be spared!”

The 500 members shouted in unison. Their voices were mighty and echoed in all directions like thunder. In the night of Lanyue City, their voices echoed for several kilometers.

Many of the guards in the Chang family residence were terrified. Whoosh!

A guard who was watching from the stairs jumped over the wall and shouted, “I surrender.”

“I surrender.”

“Screw the payment.”

Guards jumped out one after another.
