"Senior Li, please listen to me as I explain slowly."

Jiang Chen flashed a smile at Li Jiang, then turned to look at Cha Long, "Mr. Cha Long is familiar with the outside world, I wonder if you know about the several groups that are aggressively acquiring pharmaceutical companies?"

"I am aware of that; the Longteng Group has been attempting to acquire them in the north, but we've held them off!" Cha Long nodded.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "I, along with Supreme Long Huang, have come to find everyone precisely for this matter. The Longteng Group, Yi Chen Group, and Jiuzhou Group are my companies. A few friends and I are jointly acquiring pharmaceutical companies to prevent the Gene Organization from using pharmaceutical companies as a channel to spread Mutant Gene Potions."

"Moreover, my people are also establishing dominance over the sect powers. Other things aside, but the underground drug channels must be taken over. And, when my people came to the north, they were expelled by you all!"

Cha Long was taken aback and exclaimed, "Ah... Mr. Jiang, you instigated this major acquisition in the pharmaceutical industry for that reason?"

Jiang Chen nodded gently, "Yes, it was a joint effort with some friends! After acquiring the pharmaceutical companies, all their medicines are sent to a knowledgeable friend for inspection to check whether the Gene Organization has meddled!"

"Mr. Jiang, is the purpose of your acquisition of pharmaceutical companies to prevent the Gene Organization from spreading their potions?" Cha Long's face revealed a dawning understanding.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "That's part of the reason. After confirming that the Gene Organization has not intervened, and once we find a method for mass production of resisting Elixirs, we also plan to market the Elixirs through pharmaceutical companies, covering the entire country as much as possible!"

After a brief pause, Jiang Chen clasped his fists and explained softly,

"I hope everyone can understand, it doesn't matter to me personally, but my friends depend on business for survival. If they all do this without compensation, their families will face the crisis of destruction! However, rest assured, we will set a fair price and will certainly not exploit this for profit!"

Cha Long immediately showed an admiring look in his eyes.

Then, Cha Long waved his hand, "Mr. Jiang, no need to explain. For you and your friends to make such sacrifices for the Flame Dragon is already a unique and magnificent feat! The economic sacrifices required to acquire all of the Flame Dragon's pharmaceutical companies, as well as the need to conduct targeted screenings of all medications, and to withstand the opposition and problems from other pharmaceutical companies—just thinking about what you are giving up is unimaginable. You all... you have earned immense respect!"

Pu Liang and Huangluo Junlin also nodded with admiration.

And in Leng Ming's eyes looking at Jiang Chen, they were filled with worship!

"All pharmaceutical companies in the north will be handed over to us! In one week, Cha Long will transfer all the pharmaceutical companies to Mr. Jiang! As for the sect powers, feel free to send people to take over; the Huangluo Clan will be at your service!" The voice of the Grand Emperor rang out once again.

"Thank you, thank you, Senior Grand Emperor!" Jiang Chen was visibly delighted, standing up and bowing to the wall in front of him.

Buzz!

A powerful aura emerged from the wall behind him, preventing Jiang Chen from bowing.

"Mr. Jiang, don't embarrass this old man. This is for the entirety of the Flame Dragon, and as Descendants of the Flame Dragon, we of the Huangluo Clan ought to contribute! If you thank us, it's as if you're looking down on the Huangluo Clan!"

There was a slight tone of displeasure in the Grand Emperor's voice.

"Yes, yes, my mistake!" Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly, no longer giving thanks.

After some thought, Jiang Chen spoke up softly with a suggestion, "Actually, it would be fine for you all to handle things on the northern side. We just need to send the medicine over to our end and help with the promotion when we find a way to mass-produce it!"

"No! This matter is of great importance, and we must distinguish primary from secondary!"

The tone of the Grand Emperor was filled with determination, "In this matter, you, Mr. Jiang, are the leader. We can assist, but we must follow your arrangements in this matter, and all the information must be in your hands. This will be advantageous for better coordination!"

A look of gratification appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he nodded gently, "Thank you for your trust, Grand Emperor!"

"If we can't trust the Dragon Descendant who can summon the Divine Dragon, then there is no one trustworthy in this world! The Divine Dragon is not something just anyone can summon!" The Grand Emperor's words carried a hint of deeper meaning.

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, "Is there a connection here?"

"Mr. Jiang, you will understand when you have grown more. There has been a Dragon Descendant in every generation, but why is it that after the predecessor Wu Qing, only you have been able to execute that secret Cultivation Technique? There must be a reason for this, it's just that you are not yet able to reach that level! Grow, and once you have, all your confusion will be answered!" The Grand Emperor's words were infused with an air of anticipation.

Jiang Chen was momentarily perplexed; could it be that the reason was not the loss of the Cultivation Technique, but something else?

"Oh! Mr. Jiang, may I ask you a favor?" The voice of the Grand Emperor continued.

"Senior, please speak!" Jiang Chen replied softly.

"I would like Leng Ming to stay by your side, to learn from you as he experiences the world. I haven't paid much attention to this boy before, but from his behavior just now, he is far behind you. If he learns by your side, I wonder if it would be too much trouble!" The Grand Emperor spoke in a negotiating tone.

Jiang Chen paused a moment, then gently nodded, "Of course!"

Having Leng Ming stay by his side served to strengthen relations with the Huangluo Clan and to better leverage their support.

After all, the north was the territory of the Huangluo Clan, and involving Leng Ming would make things more convenient!

Leng Ming was momentarily stunned but involuntarily nodded; after spending some time with Jiang Chen, he also felt there was much he needed to learn from him.

Responsibility, composure, neither servile nor overbearing, fearless and undaunted!

These were all qualities in which he was lacking!

Pu Liang and others all smiled gently, nodding in satisfaction. They wholly agreed with the Grand Emperor's decision.

After discussing the specifics, everyone said their farewells and left Li Jiang's palace.

"Haha! Supreme Long Huang, Tian Chong, long time no see!" As the group stepped out of Li Jiang's palace, a hearty voice rang out, and an old man along with Leng'ao approached the crowd.

"Pu Xian, indeed, it's been a long time, the last time we met was thirty years ago, wasn't it?" Supreme Long Huang replied with a light laugh, addressing the old man.

At that moment, Leng Ming was looking at Leng'ao with a dark expression, fury burning in his eyes.
