However, Si Haixiao did not give up. Even if he had to crawl all the way, he had to ask all the chambers of commerce in the inner street. He did not believe that all the chambers of commerce would ignore the large amount of spiritual jades and follow the Hong Consortium's lead.
Finally, when Si Haixiao climbed to the point of exhaustion and was about to give up, he saw a fourth-grade Great Recovery Pill on the display of a store called the Central Chamber of Commerce.
Si Haixiao was overjoyed. Even if there was no fifth-grade Meridian Unblocking Pill, this fourth-grade Great Recovery Pill was a lifesaver for him.
Si Haixiao hurriedly crawled into the door of the Central Chamber of Commerce. He pointed at the display case and shouted, "Guards, I want that fourth-grade Great Recovery Pill. It's on display. You can't possibly lie and pretend that you don't have it in stock, right?"
The manager looked at him in surprise and smiled. "Sir, you must be joking. This is business that comes knocking on your door. As a businessman, how can I reject it? Since you want it, I'll get someone to pack it up for you. As for the method of payment, would you like to swipe the spiritual jade card? Or … "
"Of course." Si Haixiao took out the Spiritual Jade Card from his bosom with great difficulty and handed it over to the steward. He was secretly rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he had earned a lot of Spiritual Jades over the years. This was the capital for him to stage a comeback in the future.
However, a moment later, Si Haixiao was dumbfounded. The spiritual jade card had been frozen and could not be swiped at all!
This news caused Si Haixiao to spit out a mouthful of blood in front of everyone. All of his spirit jades were on this spirit jade card. This was his entire fortune and his life!
Not only was he tortured into a cripple, but he could not even use the spiritual jade card that was his last hope. Si Haixiao almost fainted in front of the Central Chamber of Commerce in despair.
Gathering his last bit of spirit, Si Haixiao crawled out of the door in a daze. However, he did not know where to go. There was no way out. This time, he really didn't have any ideas.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him. "If you want the elixir, follow me."
Si Haixiao looked up in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was a mysterious person wearing a black windbreaker. Even his face was covered by a black bamboo hat, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"Are you … talking to me?" Si Haixiao had already lost all hope. At this moment, he was like a drowning man grasping at his last life-saving straw.
The mysterious man did not reply, but just lowered his head and gave him a meaningful look. Then, he walked to the side.
Si Haixiao was confused, but he still clenched his teeth and followed after them with great effort, hoping to get lucky.
In any case, he was nothing now, and he was penniless. He was a complete cripple with a rotten life. There was nothing to be afraid of.
As if he was waiting for Si Haixiao, the mysterious man deliberately walked very slowly. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, they finally stopped in front of a grand and luxurious teahouse, and it was called the Central Tea Party.
Si Haixiao couldn't help but feel puzzled. Look at this name. Could it be that it was opened by the same company as the central chamber of commerce?
Speaking of which, as the former Four Directions Supervisor of Hong Ying Group, Si Haixiao had specially investigated this Central Chamber of Commerce before he came to North Island.
This was a business that had only recently risen to prominence. However, in just a few months, they quickly occupied all the islands, even the middle island where the competition was the fiercest. Their chamber of commerce appeared at the same time.
Si Haixiao used the Hong Ying Group's intelligence system, but in the end, he still could not find out the owner behind the Central Chamber of Commerce. He only knew that this person was very mysterious and had a very terrifying power.
The Central Chamber of Commerce was not like the other chambers of commerce, which grew slowly from small to large. It gave people the feeling that it had grown from nothing to something in just a few days. Suddenly, it was like a spring breeze, thousands of pear trees bloomed, and suddenly, it was all over the five main islands of Heaven Stage.
He followed the mysterious man all the way into an elegant private room. Seeing that the mysterious man sat down and faced him, Si Haixiao braced himself and said nervously, "You were looking for me …?"
Before he finished his sentence, the mysterious man did not speak but took out a grade-five Meridian Conduit Elixir and placed it on the table in front of Si Haixiao.
"This … This is for me?" Si Haixiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes shining as he stared at the grade-five Meridian Conduit Elixir in front of him. This was the only elixir that could save his life now.
However, Si Haixiao was not a fool. No matter how much he desired it, he dared not reach out to take the elixir. He could only rub his hands awkwardly and say, "I … I don't have spiritual jade …"
"You don't need spiritual jade. I'll give it to you," the mysterious man said calmly.
Si Haixiao was elated, but he still suppressed his greed and said, "This … I think that I have no value now. I wonder if you …"
"You have value. You just haven't realized it," the mysterious man interrupted.
"Oh?" Si Haixiao was stunned, not understanding what the other party meant.
"As long as you promise to work for me wholeheartedly, this grade-five Meridian Conduit Elixir will be yours," the mysterious man stated.
"Alright!" Si Haixiao agreed without hesitation. He had nothing left now. No matter what he did for the mysterious man in the future, it would be better than being a cripple waiting for death.
The mysterious man nodded in satisfaction and said, "I heard that you started out in the intelligence department. Not bad. I have an organization in my hands, and I'll hand it over to you in the future."
"Oh? I'll take charge? What do I need to do? "Si Haixiao's eyes lit up.
The mysterious man smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple. Help me find some people with potential but evil intentions. For example, people like you."
"Huh?" Si Haixiao suddenly felt that his brain was not working properly. It was easy to understand finding people with potential, but evil intentions? What kind of request was that?
"There's no need to ask why. As long as you agree, I'll give you a brand new future. Your status won't be lower than the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. As for the power, it'll be beyond your imagination." The mysterious man's tone was calm, but it sounded strangely enticing to Si Haixiao.
"Alright, I agree!" Si Haixiao nodded immediately.
"Very good. From today onwards, you'll be the manager of the Chamber of Commerce in the north island. Of course, this is only your public identity. As for your secret identity, it's the team leader of the Intelligence Team in the north island!" the mysterious man said calmly.
"Huh?" Even though Si Haixiao had already thought of countless possibilities in his mind, he could not help but be shocked when he heard the mysterious man's words.
