952 An Anxious Wai (1/2)
Feng Guohai stared at Yun Yang in stoic silence.
”We, the General Commerce League, are still businessmen, despite being involved in the martial world. The affairs of doing business are particular to credibility and wealth-attracting harmony. Even if our partner has goods of high quality but not credibility, the deal hardly proceeds,” Feng Guohai said, glaring at Yun Yang.
He looked furious. Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao, who were beside him, were silent as well.
They were close to breaking down, given the duration of their anxious wait. Despite their experience and knowledge, they had yet to meet someone like Yun Yang.
He had formally expressed that there were fine goods and he would require early preparations the last time, telling the General Commerce League that his endeavor this time around was highly likely to bring out what they coveted. Therefore, the league had only taken two days, resorting to whatever they could do at unprecedented speed to collect, search and excavate, plundering their own warehouses, and assembling invaluable items to be sent here under professional supervision.
Naturally, they contacted Yun Yang once they arrived. After all, they had brought along an incredible sum of goods that could easily attract the covetous eyes of many forces.
The Raiders of All But Heaven, the Black and White Ruthless Duo, the Feathers-Off-A-Swallow, the various names that reflected their previous infamy, was said to have pilfered an innumerable fortune. That fortune, while extremely significant to an individual cultivator, did not mean much to truly high-level masters or higher class sects. They would, at most, only be slightly attracted. If they too had been struck by avarice, there would be more cultivators targeting Yun Yang and his partners besides those who were Saint level pinnacle and below partners.
In spite of this, the goods that the General Commerce League had gathered this time around could no longer be compared to the common items of this realm. A reserved estimation would put the value at least a hundred times more than what Yun Yang had robbed. It was mind-blowing, be it in terms of quality or quantity.
The General Commerce League was a middle-class Celestial Luck Banner sect, but this trip was made in confidentiality, the party consisting only of Feng Guohai, Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao. The risk was high, the security uncertain, especially when it was near the Celestial Luck Banner contest now. If there was a blunder, it could easily cost the entire General Commerce League!
Who could have anticipated that the young fellow had undertaken a closed-door training like there was nothing important during such a critical moment?
It was not the gravest matter that Yun Yang was embroiled in closed-door training as Feng Guohai and colleagues found a new surprise within the Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain guarding formation. They discerned that the formation could withstand the attacks of experts that were at Royal Saint levels and above. It was commendable, the workmanship impressive.
What was worse was that Yun Yang's closed-door training had taken half a month! It was too long – compounded by the fact that the day the elderly trio had arrived was coincidentally Yun Yang's first day.
It was no longer merely an anxious wait during the period of their anticipation. Their hearts had nearly stopped!
The three of them had brought along a large quantity of treasure, valuable enough to alarm the Bound of Universe, but to stop at a mountain, waiting day after day, was absolute torture. Even if there had been exceptionally secure protective measures being taken, one could hardly be at peace. After all, any additional moment of idleness could lead to severe consequences when they had so many gems in their pockets.
Disregarding the Bound of Universe's martial world that had been more chaotic than usual of late, the General Commerce League's headquarters was also constantly pressuring them, adding oil to the already burning fire within the three elders.
They could understand the headquarter's concerns. The matter needed absolute discretion. Although all three of them were masterly experts, their capabilities were insufficient in comparison to the items they had brought with them!
In addition, the General Commerce League was called a 'league' for a reason; it was not a singular body. Their initial thoughts had been well-rounded – Feng Guohai and colleagues had seen how Yun Yang activated the Spirit's Grave and knew that despite the risk of their exchange, the danger was highly reduced as the process would be extremely short; the time of their transaction was largely prolonged now, greatly increasing the risk involved.
This was why the three elders were anxious and impatient throughout the half of the month in addition to being in perpetual terror. The jumble of emotions was hard to describe, but it certainly did not feel good.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Now that Yun Yang had finally emerged, the trio felt their nerves melting away but as they took in the sight of the former's gleeful front, they thought that their temperament was high above their own judgment, given they could hold themselves from beating up the young man.
Yun Yang beamed in agreement and replied, ”I understand what you mean, Elder Feng. The General Commerce League should, of course, operate on credibility and wealth-attracting harmony. This is the reason I've opted to work with the league earlier.”
