"Mr. Zhuo."
"Mr. Zhuo."
"Mr. Zhuo."
There were a dozen middle-aged men and some cold-looking bodyguards standing inside. Chu Tian and Jin Hu were respectfully waiting at the door to welcome Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan nodded and walked into the room. She sat at the head of the table while everyone else sat on either side of her.
Chu Tian said, "Mr. Zhuo, these are the rich bosses of Western City. They used a lot of resources and connections to transport the ice stones from Siberia to the mainland so quickly. That's why they wanted to meet Mr. Zhuo."
"It's fine. I'll naturally remember those who helped me." Zhuo Bufan nodded.
The jade pendant that Chu Tian took out at the Jia Clan's auction had instantly spread in the circle. The rich people of Western City were all moved upon hearing the news. Everyone was a billionaire, and what they cared about the most was their health. The jade pendant that was auctioned off had the effect of nourishing the body and mind. It could even block bullets. It was equivalent to having an extra life, so naturally, the rich people were scrambling for it.
Chu Tian signaled Golden Tiger with his eyes, and Golden Tiger immediately left the private room. After a while, the door to the private room opened. This time, 20 people were carrying wooden sticks on their shoulders and a huge sealed wooden box. Their footsteps were very heavy.
Jin Hu instructed the people to place the wooden box in the empty space in the center of the room. Then, he let the people leave. He took out a military bayonet and pried open the sealed wooden box. A black stone appeared in everyone's sight, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped by a few degrees.
The stone was about the size of half a car and was estimated to weigh around 600 to 700 pounds. The black stone had a sparkling luster, and the closer they got, the more they could feel the cold air coming from the stone.
"Mr. Zhuo, I spent a lot of effort to transport this stone from Siberia." Chu Tian said, "It's all thanks to President Lian and Boss Lei's help this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy even if we had passed."
Standing beside Chu Tian were two middle-aged men. They had short hair, big bellies, gold chains around their necks, and gold Rolex watches on their wrists.
Zhuo Bufan nodded at them. She felt that President Lian looked familiar. He was Lian Huaigu, whom she had met at the Carnival last time. Huang Zhongbing and Xu Aike had offended him. It was Zhuo Bufan who had called Jiang Beiya for help.
Lian Huaigu saw the cold sweat on Zhuo Bufan's forehead. It had been less than a month since the last incident. At that time, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau had told him a few things, so he had to let Huang Zhongbing go. However, he still couldn't figure out who was behind this.
After asking around, he found out that it was Mayor Jiang's golden rule. After further investigation, he found out about Zhuo Bufan. It was said that Zhuo Bufan also had a close relationship with the Long family.
This time, he was even more shocked when he found out that the Mr. Zhuo that Boss Chu mentioned was Zhuo Bufan. After all, Zhuo Bufan was only 17 years old and was still a senior high school student. How could Boss Chu bow down to him and have a close relationship with the Long family in Jinling?
It was just a small matter last time, so Zhuo Bufan didn't take it to heart. She said, "Since you two have helped me, I won't treat you badly. I have two pills here. After you take them, you won't get sick for ten years."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo."
Chu Tian's eyes revealed a look of envy. He said, "Mr. Lian's trading business in Jinling is flourishing. This time, it was all thanks to his connections that we were able to transport the stones through the border. Mr. Lei is the owner of Jinling's Mongkok, Jiale Hui Five Star Hotel. He's worth 230 million. It's all because of his connections in Siberia."
"You helped me with this matter. Take this jade pendant." Zhuo Bufan took out a jade pendant and threw it to Chu Tian.
The surrounding rich people all revealed looks of envy. This jade pendant had been sold for a sky-high price of 60 million at the Jia Shi Auction House. It was said that it could withstand bullets. Who wouldn't be tempted? This was equivalent to having an extra life.
Chu Tian was overjoyed and hurriedly put away the jade pendant.
Zhuo Bufan's attention was already on the ice stone. If it was possible, he wanted to use the Frozen Cloud Stone as the eye of the formation. However, he didn't have the resources right now. He could only use this kind of stone that had been absorbing cold air in the freezing weather for tens of thousands of years as a replacement. For tens of thousands of years, the stone had absorbed a large amount of cold air.
Although it's a little lacking, it should be able to serve as the eye of the formation. Zhuo Bufan thought to himself.
Chu Tian cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhuo, this stone is too big. If you need it now, I'll immediately arrange for a truck to help you transport it to the villa."
"No need. I can move it myself." Zhuo Bufan shook his head and said.
Move it yourself. This stone weighs a few hundred kilograms. Do you think it's only a few hundred kilograms?
In the private room, Lian Huaigu's eyes revealed a look of doubt. A normal person could carry a hundred kilograms. Even the strongest person could carry a hundred kilograms. However, this stone was at least six to seven hundred kilograms.
Lei Tianpeng was shocked and said, "This stone is at least seven hundred kilograms. How can a person carry it?"
"Who said I want to carry it all? I only want the one in the center." Zhuo Bufan said indifferently.
Everyone was relieved to hear this. Chu Tian waved his hand and ordered, "Golden Tiger, go find a few cutting machines and a few masters who are good at cutting stones."
Zhuo Bufan shook his head and said, "No need. I can do it myself."
"Mr. Zhuo, you want to do it yourself? Let the servants do this kind of rough work. "Lian Huaigu said from the side. He thought Zhuo Bufan wanted a relative to use the cutting machines.
"You don't understand me." Zhuo Bufan smiled and walked in front of the giant stone.
Then, he extended his right hand and gathered his True Qi. Suddenly, his right hand emitted a bright white light. It was as dazzling as a light bulb. Everyone saw Zhuo Bufan place his hand on the stone. It was like cutting tofu. A piece of the stone fell to the carpet.
The entire private room was silent. Not only were the rich people dumbfounded, even the bodyguards who followed them had their eyes wide open as if they had seen a ghost.
Only Chu Tian and Golden Tiger had seen Zhuo Bufan spit thunder and grab bullets. They could barely accept it.
The stone was extremely hard. Even a cutting machine would not be able to cut it easily. However, Zhuo Bufan's hand was like a peerless sword. It cut the stone like tofu. If it had hit a person, they would have been cut in half.
"Mr. Zhuo's skill is like a god!" Lian Huaigu was shocked.
Lei Tianpeng swallowed and widened his eyes. "I have only heard of some Daoist masters who can turn their hands into knives. Mr. Zhuo is a master."
Zhuo Bufan knew that Chu Tian gathered these people together to gather more resources to fight against the Wangs. If he did not show his skills, it would be hard to convince them.
Soon, he cut the whole stone open and took out a fist-sized stone from the belly of the stone. It was the essence of the Ice Field Boulder. It was as black as obsidian and emitted white mist. The cold air that the stone had absorbed for tens of thousands of years was contained in it.
If an ordinary person held it with their hands, their cells and bones would be frozen. Zhuo Bufan used Spiritual Qi to wrap the cold air that the stone emitted.
He packed the essence of the boulder and left the clubhouse. He couldn't wait to return home and place the essence of the boulder in the center of the array formation. It was already summer, and the villa was a little stuffy because the air conditioner was not turned on. Suddenly, a cold feeling swept through the whole villa as if it was a cool autumn day.
The coolness was very natural. It did not feel like the feeling from air-conditioning. It was like standing in a mountain spring and enjoying the cool breeze.
Lian Shijian, who was cooking downstairs, had a surprised look on her face. Today, as soon as she walked into the villa, she felt that the air was incomparably fresh, and all the pores on her body opened up to breathe freely. She felt like she was soaking in a hot spring, and now, she felt a refreshing feeling.
However, she knew that she should not ask what she should not ask. Naturally, she did not dare to ask Zhuo Bufan.
