Both of them were smart people. No matter how much they couldn't swallow their anger today, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it. Otherwise, with their strength, if they really fought with so many experts from the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the outcome wouldn't be as simple as losing face.
Just as Southern Heavenly Gate and Yu Zhe were planning to escape, a piece of paper floated in front of them. It was the letter that Southern Heavenly Gate had previously shown to intimidate Hong Zhong. The letter was signed by Hong Ying Group's Four Directions Supervising Envoy.
"You want to threaten this old man with just a piece of lousy paper? Do the two of you think my Hong Chamber of Commerce is too simple and dirty? You should take this kind of trash back and read it slowly! "Hong Zhong stood by the window on the second floor and smiled faintly," Take care, I won't see you out. "
The crowd of passersby cheered loudly. Hong Zhong had been operating in the inner street of the market for several decades, and he had always been kind and kind to everyone. He had a good reputation, and his relationships with people were extraordinary. It was not something that a so-called important figure like the Southern Heavenly Gate could compare to.
"You've got guts! Old man, remember this. I'll settle this score with you sooner or later. I want to see how long you can be a shopkeeper of a branch! " Southern Sky Gate gritted his teeth and cursed. Then, amidst the laughter of the crowd, he and Yu Zhe covered their faces and fled in a sorry state.
Looking at the backs of the two fleeing figures, Hong Zhong smiled faintly and muttered to himself, "How long can I be a shopkeeper? Of course, I can be a shopkeeper for as long as I want. "
"Old Hong, you've lost so much face this time. That guy definitely won't let this go. You have to be prepared." One of the guest experts reminded him.
If everything went according to plan, the South-Heaven Gate would surely contact the Supervising Envoys of the Four Directions after they returned. Hong Zhong's actions would surely incur their displeasure, which would bring him some trouble.
Hong Zhong shook his head indifferently, "It doesn't matter. There's no need to worry too much about a clown. If they want to scare me with a mere letter, the Nan Family's Three Heroes are too naive. Hong Ying Group Supervising Inspector? Hehe. "
When the guest experts heard this, they looked at each other and laughed. Their faces were full of mockery.
There was nothing wrong with the Southern Sky Gate's logic in using Hong Ying's Four Directions Supervising Envoys to threaten a branch manager. Normally speaking, no branch manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce would dare to ignore such a threat.
If it was anyone else, the Southern Heavenly Gate would have completed their mission perfectly.
However, the Southern Sky Gate had made a fatal mistake. Hong Zhong's position in the Hong Merchant Association was never as simple as a shopkeeper of a branch. He had another, more important identity. His surname was Hong …
If Hong Zhong did not mention this identity, the four Foreign Chamberlains would have almost forgotten about it. Now that he thought about it, he understood what Hong Zhong had done just now.
"However, just because they can't touch me doesn't mean they'll give up. I'm a little worried about that little brother Lin Er now." There was a hint of worry between Hong Zhong's brows.
After the previous few encounters. He had already seen the incredible potential in Lin Yi. This potential was something that he had never seen before. As a businessman, Hong Zhong's intuition told him that this Lin Yi was the rare commodity he had been waiting for.
If he missed this opportunity, he might not have another one like this in his life.
Hong Zhong was very clear that no matter how the Southern Sky Gate tried to provoke the Four Directions Supervising Envoys, they would never be able to threaten him. However, Lin Yi was different.
But that Lin Er was different. Even if he could defeat Yu Zhe, and even if he could use that unknown but shocking killing move to instantly kill Nan Tianyong, a peak late stage Zhuji expert, in the end, his potential was far from being developed. His strength was still very weak.
If the South-Heaven Gate took the opportunity to blow the matter up, forcing the authorities of the Soaring Sky Pavilion to pressure the Enforcement Hall to dig Lin Er out, it would be hard to tell what would happen to him. After all, with his current strength. After all, with his current strength, there was no way he could withstand the storm.
In this situation, even if Hong Zhong wanted to help Lin Yi, there was nothing he could do. Just like the Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe, he knew nothing about Lin Yi's background.
On the other hand, after suffering such a huge loss at the Hong Merchant Guild, the Southern Sky Gate would not let it go so easily.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Soaring Pavilion was to write a letter to the Four Directions Supervising Inspector of the Hong Ying Group in the Middle Island. There was no need to exaggerate, as long as he truthfully described what happened at the Hong Merchant Guild today, he would not need to intervene.
The more powerful a person was, the more they valued their reputation. If Hong Zhong did not take his letter seriously, it was the same as not taking him seriously. Even if the Southern Sky Gate did not try to sow discord, the Four Directions Supervising Inspector of the Middle Island would definitely attack Hong Zhong for the sake of his reputation.
The second thing was to make a big deal out of the death of the third brother, Nan Tianyong. Since Hong Zhong was unwilling to cooperate, then if he wanted to force Lin Er, the individual cultivator of unknown origin, out, he had to borrow the power of the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, the Enforcement Hall was one of the top departments among the three great pavilions of the North Island. Its power was not to be underestimated. Not to mention the Southern Sky Gate's Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Pavilion, even the elders with weaker power would not be able to influence it.
In the entire Soaring Pavilion, the number of people that could force the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, Ram Jie, to lower his head could be counted on one hand. The person that the Southern Sky Gate was looking for this time was the most powerful one among them, the Master of the Soaring Pavilion, Shanghai Tianhua.
The Southern Sky Gate had carefully considered the reason why he was looking for Shanghai Tianhua. Shanghai Tianhua was the undisputed leader of the Soaring Pavilion. Now that his third brother, the Supervising Deacon of the Soaring Pavilion, had been killed, it was normal for him, the second brother, to seek justice from the First Senior Brother. No one else would be able to find fault with him.
Shanghai Tianhua, the First Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Pavilion, was definitely a super expert that stood at the top of the pyramid of the North Island. Even though the Southern Sky Gate was the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Pavilion, it was not easy for him to meet with him.
Fortunately, the Southern Sky Gate was not the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Pavilion for nothing. Due to his position, he would often interact with the higher-ups. Although he did not speak much with them, as time went by, he was able to figure out the whereabouts of these people.
