Chapter 360: Then Capture Him

360. Chapter 360: Then Capture Him

"He actually hung up on my call? He actually dared to hang up on my call!"

Gu Zhangjun opened his mouth wide, looking at the middle‑aged man beside him.

"This guy has eaten bear's heart and leopard's gall."

The middle‑aged man agreed: "I originally wanted to give him some face, so I called to tell him, since he takes the face but doesn't return it, there's no need to bother with him."

"Exactly!"

Gu Zhangjun's eyes showed contempt, and he dialed another phone with his other hand.

It was the current Family Head of the Gu Family, Gu Zhixiong.

The phone rang only a few times before being answered, and the latter's tone was far better than when speaking with Gu Zhangkong.

Gu Zhangjun immediately recounted what had just happened, then made a request, hoping to bring Jiang Cheng over to his side.

In his view, this should be no difficulty, but Gu Zhigang, who had always complied with his past demands, fell silent this time.

"Let's change the matter."

Gu Zhigang said: "I've already promised him this, and even lent out 20 billion worth of medicinal materials; if you had told me earlier it would have been fine, but now it's a bit too late."

"Father, no, I must take that kid away, right now!"

"Alright, stop messing around."

Gu Zhigang frowned, "By doing this, aren't you making me lose trust with others? No need to say more, let's leave it at that."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Though he dotes on the other party, he is not without a bottom line.

In the previous call, Gu Zhangkong had pleaded with him so much; if he now goes back on his word, how will Gu Zhangkong view his father in his heart?

No matter what, the one at fault will ultimately be him.

"Father! Father!"

Gu Zhangjun, unable to believe and unwilling, called again.

Unfortunately, the result was the same, and it even made Gu Zhigang's tone harsher.

"Bang!"

Gu Zhangjun, full of rage, after hanging up, smashed his phone onto the ground and glared at the middle‑aged man beside him.

"Didn't you say that following your suggestion would be fine? So now? Tell me, what's going on!"

The middle‑aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fifth Young Master, I also didn't expect this matter to turn out like this."

"You didn't expect? You think a single sentence ends it?"

"Fifth Young Master, I am willing to go fetch that kid and bring him to you."

The middle‑aged man gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing this, the still‑angered Gu Zhangjun was startled, "Really?"

"Absolutely."

The middle‑aged man hurriedly replied.

"After capturing him, whether Fifth Young Master intends to keep him for your own use or torture him and then eliminate him, both are fine; you just do as you wish."

"Fine, I'll leave this matter to you; I hope this time you won't disappoint me again."

"I won't, Fifth Young Master."

The middle‑aged man hurriedly replied, "I am a Level One Force Master!" Gu Zhangjun's face showed murderous intent.

From childhood till now, there has never been anything he wanted but couldn't obtain; if he truly can't get it, no one else should either, especially that guy Gu Zhangkong! Remembering past events, he would even like the man beside him to capture Gu Zhangkong as well.

However, the defensive treasure on Gu Zhangkong is unusual; not only can it block a Grandmaster's attack, but if this spreads, disastrous consequences would follow.

His older brother, upon learning, would definitely seize the chance and deliver a fatal blow.

But a Refining Alchemy practitioner doesn't have so many concerns.

Even if it spreads, at most they'd be reprimanded and locked up for a while; that's the worst outcome, almost impossible.

……

The next day.

Xu Hai brought his granddaughter early to Jiang Cheng's doorstep, his face beaming with smiles.

Jiang Cheng was no longer surprised by oddities. Yet he was even more curious about the surprise Yang Chun mentioned last night.

A few people arrived at the Lian Dan Shi, only to find Gu Zhangkong and Yang Chun already waiting inside.

Seeing Jiang Cheng enter with Xu Hai and the other, Gu Zhangkong was a bit surprised, and after learning the situation, nodded.

Jiang Cheng could give some guidance to others in the Black Market, and he couldn't ask for more.

However, today it was not the right time.

"Old Xu, I have something to discuss with Brother Jiang, please you two return first."

"Alright."

Xu Hai reluctantly pulled his granddaughter and walked out.

After closing the door properly.

Gu Zhangkong laughed, "Brother Jiang, you've always wanted to try refining higher‑grade pills, right?"

Although he guessed some of it, when Gu Zhangkong said this, Jiang Cheng's heart trembled, "Gu Dage, what do you mean?"

"From today onward, you can start refining the Awakening Pill!"

Gu Zhangkong roared with laughter.

"Really, is it true?"

Jiang Cheng's breath caught.

Of course it's true, old brother.

Yang Chun laughed and said: "The medicinal ingredients have already been transported over; how could it be fake? A full twenty hundred million of medicinal ingredients!"

"Twenty hundred million..."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.

Immediately he looked at Gu Zhangkong: "Gu Dage, where did you get so much money?"

"Hehe, I can't come up with that much money, but I am, after all, the young master of the Gu Family; asking the family for some support shouldn't be too difficult."

Gu Zhangkong laughed and said.

"Old brother, this matter isn't as simple as the supervisor makes it sound."

Yang Chun timely said: "Our Outer City District Black Market's monthly profit is only around two hundred million; doing this is equivalent to overdrawing the next ten months' profit—the pressure on the supervisor can be imagined."

Jiang Cheng also felt a surge of emotion, and he declared resolutely: "Gu Dage, rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint you."

"Good, having your word is enough; I trust you!"

Gu Zhangkong gave Yang Chun a look; the latter understood, went out, and soon returned carrying a box.

Upon opening it, inside were all medicinal ingredients.

"Here there are a total of one hundred batches of medicinal ingredients, old brother; you start refining them, and when you run out, tell me—I'll send more."

Yang Chun said.

"These are the ingredients for refining Awakening Pills—each batch costs five hundred thousand; one hundred batches come to fifty million!"

"No room for carelessness."

"This is the Alchemy Technique."

He then took out a small booklet and placed it in Jiang Cheng's hands.

Jiang Cheng took it, flipped through it, and a line of small text appeared on the Panel.

"All right, Jiang brother, for the coming time, just focus on researching how to refine Awakening Pills; as for Old Xu and the others, when you have time, give them some guidance—if you're busy, later is fine too."

Gu Zhangkong laughed and said.

"Like this, Gu Dage, in a few days I'll give them some guidance again."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said.

Gu Zhangkong truly treats him well.

"Someone like him will be hard to find even with a lantern in the future."

"Hehe, good, alright, this thing—you take it and use it for now."

Saying that, he pulled out a palm-sized object from his own clothing pocket. (End of chapter)
