Ye Qinghan arranged for the rest of the people to build Ares College and gave them a sketch of the building. However, there were too few of them, so he gave them some resources and asked them to recruit people from nearby tribes.
After everything was settled, Ye Qinghan went to Zuo Yun Village alone. There were still people standing guard at Zuo Yun Village. When they saw Ye Qinghan slowly approaching, they quickly sounded the alarm. A large number of villagers looked at Ye Qinghan from afar and were stunned. With Ye Qinghan's speed, they would be caught before they could return to the village.
Zuo Xiaomo's legs were shaking as if she was afraid of Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan arrived at Zuo Yun Village's training field. He looked at the group of young children who were trying to understand their spiritual qualities with a smile on his face. He did not look like the demon who had killed more than a thousand Black Tiger Guards in the morning.
"Good afternoon, great hero …" Zuo Xiaomo was the first to greet him. Everyone else was stunned.
"Yes, I'm not here to drink tea. I'm here to ask for help from someone with management skills. I want to take over all the shops of the Black Tiger Guards in Yunzhong City, but I don't have anyone I can trust. I hope that someone with management skills can help me. I'll be responsible for the safety of your village and will pay the person who helps me." Ye Qinghan first made fun of them, then explained his intentions.
A Holy Master level Clan Elder from Zuo Yun Village walked out. He was extremely respectful and did not dare to have the slightest disrespect.
"Sir, you're too polite. You killed the evil Black Tiger Guards. If you really need help, Zuo Yun Village will definitely help you." The Clan Elder quickly replied.
Ye Qinghan nodded. It would be best if the people of Zuo Yun Village could cooperate. He then told the Clan Elder about the establishment of Ares College. Zuo Xiaomo's eyes lit up. She hoped to be nurtured by Ares College.
In the end, Ye Qinghan took away fourteen middle-aged men from the Left Cloud Village. They often went in and out of the City Amongst the Clouds to buy and sell resources. They were quite knowledgeable about business.
The City Amongst the Clouds was the largest city within a radius of tens of millions of miles. The City Lord was an Overgod, and the city was divided into a hundred counties. The Blacktiger Stockade was one of the powers in the Blacksky County. Although it was a bandit stockade, it was under the protection of the county governor. Every month, the Blacktiger Stockade had to offer a large amount of resources to the Blacksky County. Therefore, the county governor did not care about the lives of the commoners, as long as the Blacktiger Stockade did not massacre every single one of them.
Ye Qinghan had done a thorough investigation of the magistrate, and found that he was stronger than he was. He was a peak Giant God, and was even stronger than the second generation Sorcerer God and the Divine Python Flood Dragon. He was half a step into the Paramount God level, and could summon the power of heaven and earth to unleash the might of Paramount Gods.
On the way to the City Amongst the Clouds, Ye Qinghan was considering whether or not he should join forces with Devil Li to eliminate the magistrate, and then report directly to the City Lord.
After entering the Blacksky County, they entered the City Amongst the Clouds through the gate. The city was vast, and towered into the clouds. It was several times larger and more prosperous than a holy land's ancestral land. The majestic aura of a true dragon showed the difference between a Paramount God and a Giant God. The spiritual essence in the city was especially lively, and it was almost within reach!
The Giant Gods were guarding the outside of the city, but they did not stop the commoners from entering. Ye Qinghan led the Left Cloud Village villagers into the City Amongst the Clouds.
According to the address on the certificate, Ye Qinghan began to take over the storefronts one by one.
The first storefront was the Black Tiger Miscellaneous Store, which specialized in raw resources such as divine medicines, profound meteorites, divine iron ores, rare divine woods, savage beasts, and beast hides. The annual profit was not bad, and it was worth at least tens of thousands of heaven-grade spiritual godstones.
The shopkeeper was an old man with eyes full of wisdom. He was dressed in green, and his hair was white, but he was full of vigor. He treated people very kindly, and there were two servants standing beside him.
Ye Qinghan stepped into the store. Although it was not big, it was orderly and comfortable.
"What do you want to buy? My store has everything you need, and the price is fair. I don't cheat anyone, "the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Ye Qinghan looked around briefly and went straight to the point. After the servants left, he revealed his identity and said calmly, "The Black Tiger Stockade has been destroyed by me, and all of its assets will be taken over by me. If you want to continue working in the store, you have to be loyal to me, not the Black Tiger Stockade."
The old man was stunned. He did not expect the powerful Black Tiger Stockade to be destroyed, and even the certificate of ownership of the store was in Ye Qinghan's hands. It was obviously true.
"I-I'm only helping to run the store and earn a living to feed my family. Please give me a chance, sir. I'm willing to assist you in changing the certificate of ownership and transfer the store to your name," the old man said immediately.
"How much is your monthly salary?" Ye Qinghan looked down at the old man and asked coldly.
"Ten Earth-rank spiritual spirit stones a month." The old man's cultivation base was not high. He was only a half-step lord-level, but he was quite talented in business. The store earned close to a thousand Earth-rank spiritual stones a month at least.
"Your salary will be doubled in the future, and you'll have twenty Earth-rank spiritual spirit stones. Now, bring the certificate of ownership to the Chamber of Commerce in Cloud City to change the certificate of ownership and put it under my name. I'm Ye Qinghan, the current leader of the Frost Demon Stockade." Ye Qinghan gestured for a middle-aged man from Zuoyun Village to follow the old man to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce was an organization directly managed by the city governor of Cloud City, and they were in charge of managing the stores in the city. The stores had to pay a fixed amount of protection fees every year. The Chamber of Commerce protected their interests in the city, and they were the ones who issued the certificate of ownership.
The old man quickly led the middle-aged man from Zuoyun Village to the Chamber of Commerce. Ye Qinghan left another villager to look after the store while he led the others to the other stores.
There were no obstacles in taking over seven stores in a row. There were only ten stores in total. However, when it came to the eighth store, he was actually rejected. The store owner did not acknowledge Ye Qinghan's legal identity at all. Moreover, he demanded Ye Qinghan to hand over the certificate of ownership. Clearly, he wanted to take over the store.
Ye Qinghan smiled evilly as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The middle-aged man had a treacherous look on his face. It was as though he was certain that there was no one in the city and that he could take over the store by force.
This store was indeed pretty good. The man's name was Cui Geng, and he was quite skilled in business. He was a pawnshop that specialized in purchasing ancient divine objects. His unique vision allowed him to earn a lot of money, and he would often be able to purchase rare treasures. However, he was too clever. He earned several tens of thousands of mystic rank divine stones every year, but he only sent less than ten thousand to the Black Tiger Stockade.
"Did you know? More than a thousand Black Tiger Guards from the Black Tiger Stockade, along with their leader, were all killed by me in two hours. Are you tired of living trying to negotiate with me? "The corners of Ye Qinghan's mouth rose as he asked coldly.
"This is Cloud City. I know all the Divine Guard Commanders here. Since you are not from the Black Tiger Stockade, and the Black Tiger Stockade has been eliminated, this store is mine. Leave the certificate of ownership behind and scram. Perhaps I will not make things difficult for you," said Cui Geng in an eerie tone.
