Chapter 542 - Aftermath. Wanting to Become Stronger [Two in One] (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
“Thank you for your help. Count your losses on me this time. You can go to the Premium House beast card shop in Bei Du and mention my name; I promise everyone here a ninety-nine percent discount!”
Zhang Che thanked every student here very sincerely, and even made a promise to them that was as good as gifting them for free.
The young men immediately grew excited at hearing that.
They had heard of the Premium House before. The quality of their beast cards was the highest tier in all of Hua Xia. Other than their lack of legend-quality beast cards, they simply had everything you could possibly imagine in dark gold and gold-quality.
The ninety-nine percent discount Zhang Che promised them meant that everyone wouldn’t need to spend much to have a set of the strongest subdued beasts.
Of course, they didn’t dare to hope there would be legend-quality beast cards, either. Cards of that level weren’t something ordinary people could afford even with a ninety-nine percent discount!
If it were mid-tier dark gold or gold-quality beast cards, however, it was rather lax on their finances with such a huge discount.
“You’re too polite. We’re all fellow schoolmates. This is something we should do.”
After witnessing Zhang Che’s strength, the young men didn’t dare to view him as a peer of the same age. He was an expert among experts; they needed to pay him his due respect.
“No, the results would have been unimaginable if not for everyone’s help. So please do go pay a visit to the shop.”
Zhang Che waved his hand, then fished out a bunch of beast cards from his spatial storage. He held the cards with his hands and gave out two cards to each of them, saying, “I didn’t bring much good stuff with me this time. To show my thanks, please don’t reject this.”
Although Zhang Che claimed that it wasn’t good, the young men and women all couldn’t help but widen their eyes. They were speechless from shock seeing the beast cards handed to them.
The beast cards Zhang Che distributed were all mid-tier dark gold-quality beast cards. With each person getting two, he gave out about twenty cards in one go!
He truly wasn’t an ordinary expert, actually claiming those goods ordinary beastmasters viewed as top-grade beast cards as not good stuff!
With that, even the young man who suffered the biggest loss had earned a profit. After all, even if they had dark gold-quality subdued beasts, each person would only have a mid-tier card at most. The rest were only low-tier ones; they were simply incomparable to Zhang Che’s gift!
Moreover, Zhang Che had even promised them a ninety-nine percent discount if they went to buy beast cards at Premium House. It was as good as gifting them for free, not to mention him not setting any limits on the number of cards they could buy at reduced prices.
Of course, anyone with a tiny bit of sense in them would only choose to get a few beast cards that were suitable for their own use. It was impossible for them to buy too many cards. If they did, even if Zhang Che didn’t care, they would have been considered to have been fully paid back for their favor. They could forget about having any further ties with Zhang Che and Huang Tielan in the future.
After Zhang Che was done distributing the beast cards, he turned to look at Jiang Chao and nodded at him with a faint smile, saying, “Brother Jiang had been very loyal this time. I’m very grateful for that. How about this? You go tell your family that you can get ten thousand of the new body tempering pills from the Huang family’s herbal research institute at ten percent of the market price. In the future, the Jiang family will receive certain favorable terms if they want to do business with the Huang family.”
After hearing this, Jiang Chao was trembling with excitement! -Indeed, the choice I made was correct!-
Putting aside how much profit they could earn by getting ten thousand of the new body tempering pills at ten percent of the market price, most importantly, Jiang Chao had represented his clan and gained the friendship of the Huang family! In the future, be it their business or the development of their clan, the Jiang family would be on a whole new level!
With this point alone, Jiang Chao believed that the voices of the clan members who were against him succeeding as the clan patriarch would be completely drowned out!
After thanking Huang Tielan’s schoolmates, Zhang Che turned to look at Zhao Wu’s squad at the side, whose heads were lowered in shame.
Seeing Zhang Che looking at them, the squad who didn’t dare to come over all this time finally shuffled their way over.
“Zhang-shao, Young Miss. This subordinate has failed you; please punish us.” Zhao Wu spoke for his squad and asked to be punished.
This time, if it weren’t for Jiang Chao and his classmates making their moves at the crucial moment, those two evil cult beastmasters’ subdued beasts would have killed their way to Huang Tielan without any resistance. The results would have been unimaginable.
Huang Tielan widened her mouth slightly, not expecting those few guys were actually men from her family. She had originally thought they were ordinary guards from the military!
-Damn. Looks like not only did Zhang Xiaoche know about me participating in school activities, he even told dad!-
Seeing Zhao Wu’s squad beating themselves up over it, Zhang Che shook his head and smiled. He reached out and patted their shoulders, saying, “It’s fine. I know you guys did your best. It’s all thanks to you guys stalling that evil cult high-tier beastmaster. I wouldn’t have had time to get here otherwise.
“Hmm, I’ll let Uncle Huang know of your merits later when I see him. No one will blame you.” Zhang Che knew they had indeed done their best.
If it wasn’t for them holding back that evil cult high-tier beastmaster at the risk of their lives, the Purple Jade Condor and Jiang Chao’s mid-tier legend-quality subdued beast wouldn’t have been able to fend it off by themselves once it was freed up. A few breaths’ time was all it would have needed to kill them!
Seeing Zhang Che not blaming them and praising them instead, Zhao Wu’s squad’s faces immediately reddened. Choking on their words, they answered, “Thank you, Zhang-shao and Young Miss, for your magnanimity, but it is the truth that we failed to protect Young Miss. We’ll ask for our punishments from the commander after we return.”
Zhang Che was dumbfounded. Seeing them so insistent on it, he longer said anything about this matter. He thought he’d better talk to his father-in-law about this matter and be done with it. There was no need to really punish them; instead, he had to reward them!
After they were done talking, Zhang Che suddenly remembered that there were other evil cult beastmasters attacking other students all over the area. He didn’t know whether the university and military staff were able to protect those students in time.
He hurriedly said, “Alright, Zhao Wu, you guys escort them back to the camp first. I’ll go take a look at the other places. You guys weren’t the only ones being attacked by the evil cult.”
The students were astonished when they heard this. Huang Tielan looked very anxious as well, and she hurriedly said, “Ah? Then you quickly go help out! Hopefully we can save a few more students.”
—
Huang Tielan hurriedly called for Jiang Chao and the others. Under Zhao Wu’s squad’s escort, they made their way back to the camp.
Meanwhile, Zhang Che mounted the Purple Jade Condor, which had been healed by the Unicorn, and quickly rose to the skies, ready to go reinforce the battles at other locations.
As for the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, that fellow had damaged his origin while they were rushing over here earlier. He wouldn’t be in a condition to be Summoned out for the next few days. He needed to recuperate properly in one go to recover as soon as possible.
Zhang Che was obviously worrying too much. When he flew around on the Purple Jade Condor to survey the other areas, he discovered the situations everywhere had already stabilized. All of the ambushing evil cult beastmasters had been surrounded and had become sheep waiting to get slaughtered.
The university and the military had placed great importance on the students’ safety. The security forces they had arranged were extremely powerful. In addition, the other students weren’t the main targets of the Freemasons. Those who attacked them weren’t very strong. At the most, they only killed or injured some students in the beginning. When the security forces finally reacted to the situation, they lost any chance to complete their mission.
