Of course, the reason why the executive of the Hong Chamber of Commerce gave him the Spiritual Jade Card was mostly because of the big shot of the Nan Clan.
However, Southern Sky Gate rarely visited the Hong Chamber of Commerce on the north island. Instead, he was roped in by another big merchant with a lot of money. After all, with his position in the Soaring Pavilion, as long as he was roped in, he could reap huge benefits.
"There are good and bad guests. If you're a good guest, the Hong Chamber of Commerce will naturally treat you with respect. If you're a bad guest, then there's nothing much to say. In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. I'm sure you're aware of this," Hong Zhong said calmly.
The strong are respected? Southern Sky Gate's eyes flickered. He was surprised to find out that he couldn't see through Hong Zhong's strength!
He couldn't rule out the possibility that Hong Zhong was using some kind of secret skill to hide his strength. However, logically speaking, if he couldn't see through Hong Zhong's strength, it meant that Hong Zhong's strength was higher than his!
No wonder he was the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's north island branch. He couldn't be underestimated! Southern Sky Gate's heart trembled, but he didn't plan to give up. After all, he came to the Hong Chamber of Commerce today with ample preparation.
"Hmph! It seems that in your eyes, I'm a bad guest. However, do you know who I am? "Southern Sky Gate snorted and said disdainfully.
Compared to the third brother, Nan Tianyong, Southern Sky Gate was not only stronger, but his position in the Soaring Pavilion was also much higher!
Nan Tianyong's position as the supervising deacon would at most cause people to feel respectful toward him. However, his position in the South-Heaven Gate was definitely a hot topic. Not only would people feel respectful toward him, he would also have access to a huge amount of cultivation resources. If anyone was able to befriend him, it would bring them great benefits.
Almost half of the merchants in the inner street of the market took the initiative to befriend him. It could even be said that they were trying to curry favor with Southern Sky Gate. There were many people who wanted to rope him in with a lot of money.
However, none of these merchants was the flagship business giant of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, Southern Sky Gate had long harbored a grudge against the Hong Chamber of Commerce, or strictly speaking, the Hong Chamber of Commerce's north island branch.
Therefore, the South-Heaven Gate had purposely paid a visit this time. On the surface, it seemed like it was for Nan Tianyong's sake, but in reality, it was possible that they were trying to use the opportunity to teach the South-Heaven Gate a lesson.
The Southern Heavenly Gate thought that Hong Zhong dared to be so rude to him because he didn't know his identity. Otherwise, any merchant who knew his identity would treat him like the God of Wealth. Why would they put on such a cold face?
Unexpectedly. Hong Zhong didn't even raise his head as he said, "Ranked second among the Three Heroes of the Nan Clan, Soaring Pavilion's Eldest Senior Brother, Southern Heavenly Gate."
"How did you know?" The South-Heaven Gate's expression changed instantly.
If the other party did not know his identity, it would be understandable for him to show such a cold face, but on the premise that he knew his identity as the First Senior Brother Steward of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, he still dared to treat him like this. This was completely unexpected!
Soaring Sky Pavilion's Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the new Blue Cloud Pavilion didn't sound much different from Meng Jueguang, who was the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the new disciples of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. However, the difference in status between the two was like the difference between Heaven and Earth!
As the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, Meng Jueguang could only manage a dozen or so new disciples of the Blue Cloud Pavilion. Most of them hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, as the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, apart from the Golden Core Stage, Southern Heavenly Gate was in charge of all the inner disciples of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. He had a lot of power and was in charge of a lot of cultivation resources. It was enough to make countless people envious. The status and power of the two could not be compared at all.
Even Hu Yunfeng, the Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion, a person with real power in charge of a department, did not dare to be careless in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate. Not to mention a mere Meng Jueguang.
Of course, not all the department masters would pay any attention to the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, Southern Heavenly Gate.
The reason why Hu Yunfeng acted this way was because the Welcoming Pavilion was ranked last among all the departments. If it was the Hall Master of a top-notch department like the Law Enforcement Hall, a powerful person like Ram Jie would not even look at the Southern Heavenly Gate in the eye.
Even so, in the eyes of the shopkeepers in the market, the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, Southern Heavenly Gate was still a hot commodity. He was a God of Wealth worth spending a lot of money to win over.
No matter which shop he walked into, he would be treated with the utmost respect. Even his own father would not be able to receive such treatment!
As long as he bribed the Southern Heavenly Gate, he would take care of his shop's business when he purchased resources for the disciples of the Soaring Sky Pavilion in the future. The profit would be an astronomical figure, enough to make any businessman go crazy with envy!
As the shopkeeper of the North Island branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong had never paid any attention to the Southern Heavenly Gate. Now that he had taken the initiative to come to the Southern Heavenly Gate, he still dared to treat him so coldly despite knowing the Southern Heavenly Gate's identity!
With such a huge gap, it was no wonder that the Southern Heavenly Gate lost his composure. The fact that Hong Zhong could become the shopkeeper of the branch meant that he was a businessman through and through. How could a businessman treat the God of Wealth like this?
Looking at the Southern Heavenly Gate's shocked expression, Hong Zhong said with a faint smile, "Although the Hong Chamber of Commerce is not an intelligence organization, it's basic to be observant when doing business on the North Island. No matter what, you are the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. Is it strange that I recognized you?"
Being recognized by a shopkeeper of the Hong Chamber of Commerce like Hong Zhong was supposed to be proof of one's identity. However, when the Southern Heavenly Gate heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.
'You know my identity, but you never paid any attention to me. Now that you've come to visit me, not only did you not offer me up, you even treated me so coldly. Isn't this a slap in the face?'
The Southern Heavenly Gate thought that with his identity, he could at least intimidate the other party a little. However, he did not expect to be slapped in the face by the other party in such a calm manner. The Southern Heavenly Gate felt his face burning with embarrassment.
The Southern Heavenly Gate forced his expression and sneered, "Hmph, you know my identity, but you still dare to treat me so coldly. It seems that Shopkeeper Hong is very confident in himself. I wonder if the higher-ups of the Middle Island of the Hong Chamber of Commerce will have any opinion on this."
Although the Hong Chamber of Commerce was one of the few top chambers of commerce on the Five Heavenly Islands, and Hong Zhong, as the shopkeeper of the branch, had enormous power on the North Island, if the higher-ups of the Middle Island knew that he had acted on impulse and harmed the Hong Chamber of Commerce's interests, his position as the branch shopkeeper would probably come to an end.
