In an instant, the complexions of the three cultivators turned so pale that not a trace of blood colour remained.

Initially, when they arrived here, they merely thought that a tiny antiques store could be toyed with at will, and even after seeing Kong Richeng and Bianyi, they still believed they could do whatever they wanted here.

But after the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and Xiu Ju made their move,

the vague sense of presence emanating from someone above the Mixed Element Realm made it clear to them that if they dared to act, they would undoubtedly be mercilessly killed in an instant.

Shen Qiang looked at them with a smile and said calmly, "You choose not to draw your swords? Then sit down, let's have a proper chat, about the business of Kiduo Treasure, Yaqi, and Ancient Moon Pavilion."

Hearing this, the three cultivators looked at each other.

They then sat back down on the sofa but remained silent.

At this moment, Bianyi, who was playing a game, said, "They said earlier that we scammed Yaqi and Ancient Moon Pavilion, so Kiduo Treasure must apologize to them. I should leave with you, and both Yaqi and Ancient Moon Pavilion would each pay one billion, making the total offer two billion, after which they would each hold fifty percent of the shares."

"They also said that if we don't agree, the Long Yan Sword Sect will ensure we can't survive in Provincial City. At the same time, they threatened to bury me under a tree by the river."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled and asked, "Is everything that my specially hired CEO said true?"

The leader of the three cultivators hesitated for a moment before saying, "That was a misunderstanding, just a verbal conflict."

"So, after seeing that Kiduo Treasure has a powerful backer, the threat turned into just a verbal conflict?" Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows with a smile, "If Kiduo Treasure didn't have a powerful backer, would you have acted exactly as you said you would?"

"Sir, it really was just a misunderstanding," said one of the three cultivators.

Shen Qiang laughed, "So when I came in and you said that I should hand over Kiduo Treasure to Ancient Moon Pavilion and Yaqi as an apology, that was also a misunderstanding?"

The three fell silent.

Looking at the eldest son of the Ancient Moon Pavilion's boss who had already sat up bloodied, and the pale, clueless owner of Yaqi, Shen Qiang raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "I am a very reasonable person. My heart is full of a sense of justice, honour, and fairness."

"Previously, you mentioned that Yaqi and Ancient Moon Pavilion were willing to bid two billion to acquire Kiduo Treasure, which I think is a good idea."

With a slight smile, Shen Qiang said, "But the details need to be adjusted. Kiduo Treasure will acquire Ancient Moon Pavilion and Yaqi for two billion. That seems more fair."

The three cultivators were stunned.

The Yaqi boss became frantic and shouted heartbreakingly, "Shen Qiang, don't dream on, our Yaqi is the largest antique dealer in Provincial City, our inventory is worth billions!"

Shen Qiang looked at him calmly, "As I said, I am a reasonable person. You all know very well the value of Kiduo Treasure's antiques is a hundred billion, yet you are prepared to devour us for just two billion. Therefore, following the same logic, no matter how much valuable stock you have in your stores, I also offer two billion."

"Not only that, but you also said you would bury our Shen Corporation's CEO by the river. Now, I need to tell you this—if you dare refuse—"

Shen Qiang's arm swept out.

Surgical knives, forceps, pincers, and saws were neatly laid out before him.

"As a somewhat famous surgeon, I will cut you into pieces while you are conscious and then pour you down the sewage pipes to feed the little lobsters."

Hearing this, the Yaqi boss's face turned pale with rage and he said, "You're trying to scare me, aren't you?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "I've had enough of being bullied, so I'm capable of doing anything. Of course, you don't understand me yet, so you can sit down and think it over slowly."

Having said that, Shen Qiang turned his head.

With a wave of his hand, the surgical knife on the ground.

The surgical knife instantaneously appeared in front of the three cultivators.

The three cultivators were stunned, looking at Shen Qiang with astonished eyes.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "A new store opens with a show of might, needing to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to establish our Happy Treasure's status, and to keep the incompetents from scheming against us. You three have reached out too far, so leave your hands behind, and then get out of Happy Treasure."

The leader of the three cultivators roared angrily, "How dare you, do you know who you're speaking to? Don't think you're awesome just because you have two strong fighters by your side. Our Long Yan Sword Sect has even more powerful members, and it would only take one sword strike to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Bianyi laughed.

Shen Qiang laughed as well.

"I think you still haven't realized where your true mistake lies," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Your real mistake is that you came here on your own initiative because if your Long Yan Sword Sect knew what you were doing, they would definitely not have allowed you to come."

"Because you forced us to compensate Yaqu and Ancient Moon Pavilion using Happy Treasure, you came knocking for extortion, and you coerced us, you've already crossed Dragon Group's bottom line,"

Shen Qiang, smiling very gently, said, "Do you think your Long Yan Sword Sect would confront the Dragon Group over you three little fish who don't understand the rules? Stop dreaming. Now, I'll give you a choice, 1, draw your swords and be killed by my people, or 2, each of you leaves a hand behind and then scram."

Looking at Shen Qiang's serious expression, the three cultivators turned pale.

One of the cultivators stood up anxiously and said, "We can persuade Ancient Moon Pavilion and Yaqu to sell their shops to you."

Shen Qiang laughed, "You really can't see the situation clearly, can you? After being exposed for selling fakes, the closure of Ancient Moon Pavilion and Yaqu is just a matter of time. And how will you persuade them? By your so-called powerful strength?"

Shen Qiang, with a stern face, said solemnly, "But I am more powerful than you, and my words carry more weight than yours."

Looking at the pale-faced cultivators, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "In this world, doing anything has its risks. If you think I, Shen Qiang, am not up to it and want to take my store, you should be prepared for my retaliation. Either leave your life or your hand."

The leading cultivator stood up with a fierce voice and said, "If you insist, you can have the hand, but don't think that after doing this, you can still live freely. Sooner or later, we will kill your entire family."

Boom!

An overwhelming aura descended suddenly, weighing down on the three cultivators from the Long Yan Sword Sect so heavily they couldn't even stand straight.

The Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, with an icy stare, looked at them unrestrained and said, "I'll give you five seconds to make a choice. If you don't have an answer by then, I will make the choice for you."

Looking at the stunning Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.

The three cultivators were already ashen-faced.

The leading one clenched his teeth.

Picked up the surgical knife and swung it fiercely, severing his own left hand.

Amidst his shrill screams, Shen Qiang smiled, looking at the other two, "Now, the rest of you, don't waste my time."
