In the eyes of any merchant, befriending Southern Sky Gate, a person with real power in the Soaring Pavilion, would bring them great benefits. Even Hong Zhong had the same idea in the beginning, but after secretly observing Southern Sky Gate's character, he immediately gave up on the idea. This article was written by

First.
The reason was simple. Southern Sky Gate was a greedy person, and it could even be said that he was greedy beyond measure.
Perhaps after befriending him, they could earn a huge profit of tens of thousands of spiritual jades through his power, but the price would be at least 60%, or even more! Although the merchant could still earn 40% of the profit, Hong Zhong, as a shopkeeper of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, had always looked at the person when choosing a partner, not the profit in front of him.
Only by choosing the right partner could there be long-term benefits. Otherwise, even if they got a little profit in front of them temporarily, they would definitely have to pay it back tenfold or even a hundredfold in the future. This was Hong Zhong's experience after being in charge of the North Island branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce for decades. Therefore, even though Hong Zhong knew that Southern Sky Gate was very popular and was highly sought after by other shopkeepers, Hong Zhong had never thought of befriending him. Instead, he kept a respectful distance and ignored him.
Seeing that Hong Zhong was so fearless, the Southern Sky Gate was stunned. Logically speaking, a shopkeeper like Hong Zhong who was sent out was most afraid of the higher-ups of Middle Island, because those people controlled their future and could decide their future development with a single word.
However, Hong Zhong in front of him seemed to be very confident and fearless. Or did this guy not believe that he could talk to the higher-ups of Middle Island?
Southern Sky Gate quickly came to a conclusion. The reason why Hong Zhong was so fearless was most likely the latter.
After all, in the eyes of normal people, although he, the Southern Sky Gate, was the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, and was considered to have a high position in the eyes of most people, he was not qualified to talk to the higher-ups of Middle Island of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Hong Zhong did not take his threat seriously. That was human nature.
"You don't believe that I have the ability? Hmph, it doesn't matter. You'll be kneeling down and begging me later. " The South-Heaven Gate shook his head with a mocking expression, and went straight to the point, "I've come personally to ask about someone's background, Shopkeeper Hong. I heard that you're quite close to the rogue cultivator, Lin Er, who killed my third brother?"
The Southern Heavenly Gate thought that after it said this, the other party would definitely retort fiercely, saying something stupid like protecting customer information was the lifeline of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but unexpectedly … Hong Zhong's reaction was completely different from what he had expected.
Hong Zhong didn't overreact or even say a word. He just picked up the teacup. That was all.
The meaning of serving tea to send off the guest could not be more obvious. Regarding this question, Hong Zhong, who had always been amiable and amiable, did not even have the interest to say a word. He directly served tea to send the guest off.
Even the South-Heaven Gate's face flushed red with anger. He didn't even say a word. This kind of silent response was even more infuriating than malicious words of ridicule and ridicule!
"Shopkeeper Hong, I'll call you Shopkeeper Hong for the last time. I advise you to be sensible and cooperate with me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you a chance if you don't want face! "The South-Heaven Gate forcefully suppressed his anger and said.
Although he had everything he could rely on for this trip. But if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to completely fall out with Hong Zhong. After all, the Hong Chamber of Commerce was one of the few top chambers of commerce. If he could make the other party cooperate with him obediently, not only would he be able to obtain more benefits, it would also be more flawless.
Therefore, the purpose of his trip today was to use Nan Tianyong's death as an opportunity to demonstrate his power to Hong Zhong. He didn't really want to cause trouble, nor did he want to completely fall out with the other party.
"I'm giving you face, but you don't want it?" Hong Zhong glanced at him in surprise, and then said with a smile that was not a smile, "This old man should be the one saying that. You are an uninvited guest, and this old man has already served tea to send you off, but you still have the cheek to stay here and refuse to leave. Who is the one who is being so shameless?"
After a pause, Hong Zhong said in a serious tone, "Since you are so thick-skinned, then I'll be frank. I can't help you with your request. Take care, I won't send you off."
"Old fart, I'm only showing you some respect because you're the manager of the Hong Merchant Group. But since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for being rude!" As the South-Heaven Gate spoke, his aura suddenly rose to its peak. As if a storm was approaching, the surrounding tables and chairs began to tremble.
"The Foundation Completion Stage? His strength is stronger than Nan Tianyong's, but he dares to cause trouble here with such little strength. Aren't you looking down on the Hong Chamber of Commerce? "Hong Zhong said with a serious expression.
Without Hong Zhong's command, the moment the South-Heaven Gate unleashed his aura, there were already four powerful auras that were not any weaker than his. Some of them were even stronger than his, and had already locked onto him from a distance.
If the South-Heaven Gate continued to act like this, there was no doubt that he would repeat the same mistake as Nan Tianyong. Even if he was stronger than Nan Tianyong, his ending would definitely not be any better.
If he, the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, were to be thrown out of the window like his younger brother, Nan Tianyong, then he would lose all his face. Even if he were to sit in this powerful position, it would be difficult for him to convince the others. He might even become a laughing stock!
If a fight were to break out, the South-Heaven Gate knew that he did not have the strength to defend against so many Guest Officials of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, seeing that the situation was not good, he had no choice but to use the trump card that he had carefully prepared for the past three days.
"Wait! If you want to fight against me, I advise you to read this letter first! "The South-Heaven Gate suddenly took out a letter from his pocket and threw it on the ground in front of him.
Although the four Guest Officials did not show themselves, it was not difficult for them to read the contents of the letter with their strength. After the South-Heaven Gate threw the letter, the four powerful auras dissipated at the same time, as if they had never appeared in the first place.
As for Hong Zhong, after reading the contents of the letter, his expression turned gloomy for the first time.
The letter was about Lin Er's identity. According to the letter, the South-Heaven Gate was an important client recognized by the entire Hong Chamber of Commerce, while Lin Er was only a personal client of Hong Zhong. It was obvious which was more important.
