Chapter 1089 – Betrayal (2/2)

Yuan Hong couldn’t help but sigh deeply. He knew his son pretty well, but there was nothing he could really do about it.

“Big Brother Jiang, you have really surprised me. How can a genius that excels in all aspects like you and make people speechless, emerged in a small place like Yan City? If it wasn’t for you today, our Prefecture would’ve lost its chance completely. Today, you have turn the tables around, allowing our Prefecture to gain control over the ore mine. In accordance to our previous agreement, I should give you 20 percent of the mine, however, I have decided to give you 30 percent now. Yi Yuan Association will get 20 percent and the Prefecture will get 50 percent.”

Yan Dongliu said forthrightly. The others had no opinions in a decision like this. It was obvious that Yan Dongliu was using the extra 10 percent to build a good rapport with Jiang Chen. Spending more fortune on a genius like Jiang Chen would surely be worth it.

“I didn’t think that Big Brother Jiang has such powerful combat strength despite only having a half-step Earth Immortal cultivation base. Furthermore, he’s able to hover in the sky. If we didn’t see this with our own eyes, none of us would ever believe it.”

“That’s right. Master Jiang is truly the lucky star of the Prefecture. When he entered the Prefecture not long ago, he was able to cure City Lord’s cold poison by concocting the Ardent Yang Pill. Today, he has helped the Prefecture acquire another tremendous fortune. To me, it’s just too unbelievable!”

“Haha! Having Alchemist Jiang as a member of the Prefecture, he will certainly pave a better way for us in the future. Sooner or later, Huang Family is surely going to be defeated.”

………..

Everyone in the Prefecture’s side was smiling pleasantly. All the tension had disappeared. Each of them started to looking at Jiang Chen in a more pleasing way. Almost every one of them wanted to praise or at least flatter this young man. No one wouldn’t want to befriend such a genius.

Jiang Chen had become the spotlight while Yuan Chengjun was hiding somewhere behind people’s shadows, like a dull rat. He was once the number one genius of the Prefecture, but with Jiang Chen’s presence, no one paid him extra attention.

“Haha! Congratulations, brother Yan. Congratulations on being the owner of this ore mine. I think we will be able to start mining it any time.”

Nie Yiyuan walked over to Yan Dongliu and said with a smile.

“That’s right. When I return, I will send someone here to start mining right away, you can also send your people to keep track on the progress. As promised, you will be getting 20 percent of it, not any amount less.” Said Yang Dongliu.

“Very well. Then its decided. We will start mining Immortal Meta Stones tomorrow.”

Nie Yiyuan cupped his fists at Yan Dongliu and left with his people.

That night in the Prefecture was filled with laughter, singing and dancing. The Prefecture had never been so lively before. In the middle of the garden, a dozen of tables were placed for the banquet. This was a celebration feast and Jiang Chen was attraction in this banquet.

However, Yuan Chengjun and Yuan Hong were absent in the party. Despite their importance in the Prefecture, it seemed like they had been forgotten by everyone. No one had ever noticed their absence; the whole feast was held because of Jiang Chen.

Somewhere in the Prefecture was a courtyard that seemed pretty dull and silent compared to the lively atmosphere in the garden. There was a father and son sitting in the room with a dark face.

“Dad, I can’t accept what has happened.”

Yuan Chengjun suddenly stood up from his seat.

“What else can you do then? With you present strength, you won’t be able to kill Jiang Chen. I advise you to put all of your attention on cultivation instead of focusing on a girl.” Said Yuan Hong.

“Dad, as long as Jiang Chen is here, we won’t have a status in the Prefecture. Today, that Yan Dongliu held a feast in the garden, but he didn’t even came to invite us personally despite our absence, all of their attention has been placed on Jiang Chen. To them, we have already become nothing despite all the hard work that you have contributed to the Prefecture.” Said Yuan Chengjun.

After hearing what his son said, he couldn’t help but frown. It would be impossible to deny that he didn’t feel any discomfort for being treated as such.

“Dad, given your strength, it would certainly be possible for you to form a new force in Yan City, it’s pointless to follow the Prefecture anymore. Since Yan Dongliu is being ruthless to us, he shouldn’t blame us for being cruel to him in the future.”

A look of ruthlessness flashed past Yuan Chengjun’s face.

“What are you thinking?”

Yuan Hong looked over and asked his son.

“I have already discussed this with the Huang Family. We will eliminate the Prefecture together. At that time, the Prefecture will be ours and we shall share the Immortal Meta Stones equally.”

Yuan Chengjun’s eyes glittered with a cold light.
