Qin Shaotian and the others had learned about what had happened in the Pixie Pet Store. As the future family head of the Qin Family, Qin Shaotian knew much more than Ye Hao and the others.
A legendary battle pet warrior!
Two thousand battle pet warriors of the Tang family!
No matter which one it was, it would be a shocking matter if it was spread out.
That was beyond the common knowledge of ordinary people. The five major families couldn't afford to offend Su Ping.
Qin Shaotian looked at the young man who was a few years younger than him. He was even more determined to become stronger. The Elite League in the Longjiang Base City had been a huge blow to him.
Su Lingyue and Yan Bingyue were both able to defeat him and crush his pride.
The young man in front of him was so terrifying that Qin Shaotian didn't even have the courage to catch up with him.
The gap between them was too big!
Beside him, Mu Shuangwan's eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.
She had sat down with the young man to talk about the endorsement contract. She didn't know that even the family head of the Mu family had to stand in front of the young man. He wasn't even allowed to sit down. In the end, she had breached the contract. She had paid the compensation and parted on good terms. Still, it was an undeniable fact that she had abandoned the store in a time of crisis.
She only hoped that Su Ping would be lenient and wouldn't make a fuss about something as trivial as her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to pay for it even if she had several lives.
As for the president of the company who had pressured her to terminate the contract, he had been stripped of his position. He was once a glorious figure in the family but he had been demoted to an idle person with no position. He was grounded and could not go out at will.
All of that was a testament to how horrifying the young man was.
She regretted her decision. If she had known this would happen, she would have persisted. Then, the Mu family could have followed her lead and established a relationship with Su Ping. She could have even become a hero of the Mu family. Her family would have been valued and treated well because of her.
But at the moment, because of one wrong decision, she had been dragged over and was at the mercy of Su Ping. Even her family was being shunned and pushed to the edge of the family.
Ye Hao and Zhou Chuan didn't even dare to breathe. They were scared out of their wits by this solemn scene.
They had never seen so many big shots gathered together.
All of them were titled battle pet warriors, family heads of major families.
Usually, it was very difficult for them to meet their patriarch. After all, they were not the most favored peers in the direct line of descent.
This time, they were brought here because their family had found out that they were in contact with Su Ping's shop. However, they didn't expect to see such a suffocating scene.
In the Liu family, Liu Tianzong, an elder, Liu Jianxin, and Liu Yuan were standing on the side. They all stood with their hands at their sides, not daring to look at the young man.
Liu Tianzong's face darkened when he saw Xie Gange and the elders of the Tang family. He was even more frightened when he saw them standing next to Su Ping. He had heard from the elders of his family that there was a legendary battle pet warrior in the Pixie Pet Store. Who would have thought that?
After hearing the news, Liu Tianzong finally understood why he didn't get any response from the city government when he tried to inquire about the shop.
It turned out that the mayor had already known about this store!
Given the choice between the legendary battle pet warrior and the Liu family, the mayor chose the legendary battle pet warrior without any hesitation.
He didn't even dare to leak any information about the store, in case the legendary battle pet warrior in the store would come after him!
Liu Tianzong regretted it. If he had known that the legendary battle pet warrior was there, he wouldn't have dared to compete with the store.
At the moment, Liu Tianzong was on the verge of breaking down. He had to pin his hopes on the young man's kindness.
Su Ping had finished looking through the treasury of the Star Organization. He picked out some treasures and handed them to Xie Gange. "Can you deliver them tomorrow?"
Xie Gange took it over and read it. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"
"Good."
Su Ping nodded.
Then, he looked at the five Clan Leaders and narrowed his eyes.
They had only sent their elders when Su Ping invited them. But now, all of them had come in person.
True enough, without power, one would not be valued. Talking was just bullsh * t.
"Oh, the family heads of the five major families. What brings you here?" Su Ping asked, even though he already knew the answer.
Qin Duhuang had seen a lot. He kept the smile on his face. "Mr. Su, last time you invited me, I couldn't attend because I wasn't feeling well. This time, I'm here to ask for forgiveness."
Qin Duhuang was straightforward. He didn't make up any excuses. He went straight to the point.
As he spoke, Qin Duhuang took out a gift and handed it to Su Ping.
Su Ping looked at the gift box but didn't take it. Instead, he winked at Tang Ruyan.
Tang Ruyan understood and took the gift.
Qin Duhuang looked at the girl. He knew that she was the fake future family head that had alerted the Tang family. Because of this girl, the Tang family had lost two thousand master battle pet warriors in Su Ping's store. Even Qin Duhuang felt heartbroken when he heard that number, not to mention the Tang family.
The entire Longjiang Base City might not have two thousand master battle pet warriors.
But all of them were killed in Su Ping's store.
The Tang family would be so angry that they would vomit blood!
"I won't swallow anything if I'm asking for forgiveness.
I understand that you're not feeling well. Last time, I said that I need something and I hope you can help me find it. I, Su Ping, will not make you work for nothing. Whoever can help me find it will get all the treasures I asked for, "Su Ping said calmly.
Those treasures were useful to him. But compared to treasures, Su Ping valued his own strength more.
If he could reach the second level of the Solar Bulwark sooner, his physical strength would be able to compete with legendary battle pet warriors. Only then would he be truly powerful and he would be able to travel around the world!
The elders of the Tang family and Xie Gange turned pale after hearing Su Ping's words. They felt embarrassed and scared.
It seemed that Su Ping didn't value the treasures he asked for from them. That could only mean that Su Ping had better things.
Besides, they didn't know that Su Ping valued those materials so much that he was willing to trade so many top-level treasures for them.
Qin Duhuang and the other family heads were surprised by Su Ping's words. Soon, they understood.
They were all smart people. They knew that Su Ping was a pragmatic person.
It was okay to offend Su Ping in the past, and it was okay to have some conflicts with him. However, Su Ping was in desperate need of those materials. If they could find those materials for him, they would be able to get closer to him.
This was a rare opportunity!
"Mr. Su, don't worry. The Mu family will do our best to find what you need," Mu Beihai, the family head of the Mu family, said solemnly.
It was not easy to make him, the family head, address Su Ping as "Mr. Su".
Even Qin Duhuang couldn't help but think highly of Mu Beihai since he was willing to put down his pride.
The elders of the Zhou family and the Ye family also expressed their opinions at once.
After the five major families had expressed their opinions, Su Ping turned to the Liu family and asked directly, "Does the Liu family have anything to say?"
Everyone turned to the Liu family.
The elders of the Tang family and Xie Gange did the same. After their defeat at Su Ping's store, the Tang family had mobilized their forces to infiltrate the Longjiang Base City and gather information about Su Ping's store through other channels.
They had also learned about the grudge between the Liu family and Su Ping's store.
They all felt that the Liu Family was a little funny.
A local family from the Longjiang Base City had offended a legendary battle pet warrior from the base city. That was like using a steamer to steam a shrimp!
Liu Tianzong could feel that Su Ping and the others were looking at him. Cold sweat trickled down from Liu Tianzong's forehead. He was stressed out. He could not help but tense up. His throat was tight and his voice was trembling.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, I failed to recognize you. The Liu family is willing to compensate you with half of our assets to appease your anger. I have looked into this matter. This is the manager of the Primo store. I have brought him here. Mr. Su, you can do whatever you want with him."
As Liu Tianzong spoke, he pulled Liu Yuan over to Su Ping.
Liu Yuan was trembling. His face was ashen.
Ever since Liu Jianxin failed to make it to the Top 10, Primo had suffered a great blow.
Liu Yuan's status had fallen.
Then, his status took a nosedive. Five days ago, all of his duties were revoked and he was taken to the family to be locked up.
Even his bloodline was being closely monitored by the family.
With such a battle formation, it was as if they were purging the place, causing everyone in his faction to feel insecure.
Liu Yuan didn't know until he learned that the store he was competing for had a legendary battle pet warrior behind it. He was dumbfounded.
Liu Yuan had lost all hope after being pushed out by Liu Tianzong.
He knew that he was going to die.
But he also knew that his death could bring back the safety of his family. That was the family head's promise to him.
"Mr. Su, it's all my fault. You can kill me or torture me. I will do as you say." Liu Yuan dropped to his knees in front of Su Ping and pressed his head against the floor. He was extremely humble.
Su Ping didn't feel anything. He didn't want to kill Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was just a scapegoat.
He might have started the competition, but he had the support of the entire Liu family.
Otherwise, where did the two battle pets at the peak of the titled rank that were competing with the Inferno Dragon outside Primo come from?
But Su Ping didn't intend to look into it. The Liu family was half ruined after losing half of their assets.
As for the scapegoat, Su Ping didn't want to kill him. Such a talent would be left to the Liu family. They could do whatever they wanted with him. It had nothing to do with him, even if he were to become the family head.
"Okay, I don't want to see blood today. You can go back. Just give me money for the Liu family's assets. I'm not interested in managing those businesses," Su Ping said.
Liu Tianzong was surprised to hear Su Ping's words. He said at once, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Su!"
The Liu family's losses would be greatly reduced if the assets could be exchanged for money. After all, the business would still be there. The Liu family could rise again as long as they could survive the crisis.
The others glanced at Liu Tianzong. What a pity. If the Liu family were to be destroyed, they would be able to eat up the dead body of the Liu family to make up for their losses.
While they were about to leave, another car arrived.
Soon, a middle-aged man came in with three titled battle pet warriors.
"It's the mayor."
"Mayor Xie."
"That guy …"
When the five Patriarchs saw the middle-aged figure enter, their expressions changed slightly. They were secretly furious.
If the mayor had told them about the horror of the store, they wouldn't have offended the store. In fact, they could have fawned over the store sooner.
Xie Jinshui was surprised to see so many people gathered in the store. However, he understood why he was surprised when he thought about the five major families and Su Ping. Xie Jinshui saw the anger in the five family heads' eyes but he kept a straight face, as if he didn't see it.
He had offended the five family heads by hiding the fact that Su Ping's store was a legendary battle pet warrior.
That being said, the five family heads were nothing compared to a legendary battle pet warrior.
Besides, what could he do even if he offended the five family heads? They couldn't unite and fight back together.
After all, they were all capitalists. The only thing that could unite them was interest, not hatred or friendship.
"Mr. Su, I am Xie Jinshui, the mayor of the Longjiang Base City. I have heard that you are a teacher at Fengshan University. Speaking of which, we do know each other."
Xie Jinshui introduced himself to Su Ping as soon as he entered the store.
"Really?"
Su Ping looked at the man in front of him. Was he the leader of the Longjiang Base City?
"My daughter's cousin is studying at Fengshan University. Maybe she has attended your classes. But I heard that you rarely go there. That's a pity for the students," Xie Jinshui said with a smile.
Everyone else had a strange look on their faces.
His daughter's cousin's friend?
Could their relationship be any further apart?
Su Ping didn't know what to say. That being said, he could tell that Xie Jinshui was trying to make friends with him. "Mayor, please have a seat."
Xie Jinshui was surprised. He looked around the room and didn't expect that Su Ping would invite him to a seat. It seemed that Su Ping had a good impression of him.
"Thank you, Mr. Su."
Xie Jinshui could tell that Su Ping wasn't a person who liked false pleasantries. Xie Jinshui didn't bother to entertain Su Ping and sat down.
"Mayor, I heard that this street is blocked."
Su Ping said, "You know that I am a businessman. If the street is blocked, I will lose my business."
Xie Jinshui was scared. He wanted to stand up.
However, since Su Ping didn't seem to blame him, Xie Jinshui decided not to stand up. He didn't want to be rude.
"Mr. Su, you're right. It's my fault. I thought Mr. Su was just doing business for fun," Xie Jinshui said apologetically. He reacted quickly.
Su Ping didn't know what to say. Why did everyone think he was just doing business for fun?
Didn't a handsome man like him look like a businessman?
"Actually, I am serious about doing business."
It just so happened that all the five major families were there. Su Ping said seriously, "Anyone who tries to affect my business will be my enemy. On the other hand, anyone who supports my store will be my friend."
The five family heads looked at each other.
Even the elders of the Tang family and Xie Gange were confused.
He had a legendary battle pet warrior and was so talented. How could he tell them that he was serious about doing business?!
Why aren't you cultivating properly? Why are you here doing business?!
Experience life?
He wasn't that serious yet. He wasn't going to learn anything from life!
Everyone was speechless. However, seeing how serious Su Ping was, they remembered Su Ping's words.
Perhaps, doing business was really just a quirk of this evildoer?
Many people had their own hobbies. For example, some liked to kill, some liked to steal. Why couldn't some people like doing business?
That thought made them feel more and more at ease. They began to think about how they could get closer to Su Ping through his quirks in the future.
After Su Ping finished, he saw that everyone was deep in thought. He didn't know if they understood him or not.
However, that was all he had to say.
It was up to them how much they could understand.
If they did, they would go to his shop and get more professional training!
"Mr. Su, this incident caused quite a stir. In order to protect your privacy, I blocked the news without permission. Coincidentally, you've been missing for a few days, and I couldn't find you. If you want the news to spread, I'll unblock it. If you want to continue living here in seclusion, I'll continue blocking it for you. What do you think?"
Xie Jinshui looked at Su Ping hopefully.
He preferred Su Ping to choose the second option and live here in seclusion.
The shop had been in the base city for a long time, but it was not until recently that a legendary battle pet warrior had appeared. There were only two legendary battle pet warriors in Asia, but the girl in the shop was not one of them.
It was obvious that the legendary battle pet warrior in the shop was a hermit.
That was why he had taken the initiative to block the news for Su Ping.
He didn't expose himself even when the major families came to ask about the shop, because he didn't want to offend the legendary battle pet warrior in Su Ping's shop.
After all, for a hermit, the most intolerable thing was to let the world know about him.
Besides, it was rare for a legendary battle pet warrior to be in charge of the base city. Xie Jinshui didn't want to piss off Su Ping and ask Su Ping to move to another place.
Su Ping was taken aback by the mayor's words. He thought for a moment and said, "Let nature take its course. There is no need to block the news."
Su Ping didn't mind the fact that there was a legendary battle pet warrior in the shop if the news got out.
If it was exposed, it would also increase the shop's reputation.
Xie Jinshui was surprised. All of a sudden, he realized that he had misjudged the situation. The legendary battle pet warrior in Su Ping's shop wasn't a hermit. Xie Jinshui was confused but he didn't dare to ask. He nodded naturally. "Okay. Mr. Su, if you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. This is my number. Do you want to write it down?"
"Sure."
Su Ping agreed at once.
Living in the Longjiang Base City, Xie Jinshui would have to ask Xie Jinshui for help in the future. Being able to contact Xie Jinshui at any time was the most convenient.
Xie Jinshui smiled as Su Ping recorded the number in his phone. To be able to build a relationship with a legendary battle pet warrior was to be able to build a relationship with a legendary battle pet warrior. Besides, Su Ping had more potential than Dao Zun who was at the peak of the titled rank. If Su Ping could reach the legendary rank in the future, the relationship Xie Jinshui had built would be even more valuable in the future!
That was an investment from a friend!
"Mr. Su, is there anything else you need me to do?" Xie Jinshui asked politely. He didn't put on airs at all.
Su Ping shook his head. "Unblock the street for me. Also, if possible, repair the roads around the street. That way, it will be easier for people to drive here. Also, I will transfer the money for the road repairs to you."
Xie Jinshui nodded. "Mr. Su, I can't ask you to pay for the road repairs. I'm in charge of the Longjiang Base City. It's my business that the roads are in bad condition. Mr. Su, don't worry. I will fix the roads as soon as possible. I'm also planning to turn the Red Moon District into a large battle pet center with your store as the center. The other facilities will be spread out in all directions."
"In that case, Mr. Su's business will be better in the future."
Su Ping nodded. He had the same idea. He wanted to turn the neighborhood into a prosperous district.
"Mayor, just let me know if you need my money. I don't lack money." Su Ping nodded.
"Mr. Su, you're too kind," Xie Jinshui said at once.
Qin Duhuang, Mu Beihai and the others were upset by the conversation between the two.
Xie Jinshui was the one who had gained the most from the raid.
The five major families had all suffered losses. Xie Jinshui was the only one who had known about Su Ping's shop from the very beginning. He had come prepared and had successfully established a relationship with Su Ping.
With Su Ping's shop in the Red Moon District, it was only a matter of time before the Red Moon District flourished and became the economic center of the Longjiang Base City!
That being said, if the news about the appearance of a legendary battle pet warrior in the Longjiang Base City got out, many people would move to the Longjiang Base City.
After all, a base city was not safe when wild beasts were lurking outside. However, a base city with a legendary battle pet warrior would be a different story. A base city with a legendary battle pet warrior would attract a large number of people. The Longjiang Base City would become a first-rate Class A base city in the future. That was why Xie Jinshui was trying to curry favor with Su Ping. He didn't want to let Su Ping leave.
