Chapter 628: Sam's Spatial Ring! Fortune!

"So that's how it is—this is troublesome," Xu Jingming frowned deeply.

Before the supreme beings noticed, he could still activate the secret realm space and enter first.

But once he stepped out of the secret realm space, he would likely face several supreme beings!

"In this situation, there are only two solutions."

Ling Shuang crossed her arms, unconsciously making her already impressive chest stand out even more, and said softly:

"First, wait until you become a supreme being before activating the secret realm space.

Second, inform General Chairman Zhou and have him intervene on your behalf.

With the Chairman present, other supreme beings won't dare act rashly.

Supreme beings are far too distant for you—I'd strongly recommend you report this to the General Chairman."

Since the resurgence of Yuan energy, over two hundred years have passed.

During this time, countless S-rank psychic awakenings have emerged.

More than twenty SS-rank psychic awakeners have appeared, and even two SSS-rank awakeners have surfaced.

Yet Blue Planet has only six supreme beings; including the two who perished, there are only eight in total.

Although Xu Jingming is a prodigy, Ling Shuang believes his chances of becoming a supreme being are extremely slim.

"If you ask the General Chairman to intervene, you'll inevitably have to surrender a significant portion of the secret realm's rewards.

Of course, it's not that the General Chairman wants them for himself—he's doing it to strengthen the foundation of Greater Xia."

Ling Shuang paused, then added:

To Greater Xia, General Chairman Zhou is like a reliable elder brother.

Bujinweidaxiazhefengbiyu ， Jiusuanshizaiyixiemijingkongjianzhongdeshouhuoyehuifenxiangchulai ， Rangguoneiqiangzhegenzhushouyi 。

This is one of the key reasons so many strong individuals in Greater Xia have grown steadily stronger.

"General Chairman Zhou...

Understood—I'll give it serious thought."

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Jingming nodded seriously.

Ten birds in the forest are worth less than one in hand.

Rather than waiting until he becomes a supreme being to activate the secret realm, it's better to report the discovery to the higher-ups.

Of course, not yet.

After all, he's still too weak.

To the true elites of Greater Xia, he's merely an undeveloped prodigy.

Even if he reported this, he wouldn't gain any substantial benefits.

He should wait until he's strong enough—even powerful enough to negotiate with supreme beings—before reporting it.

"Good, you understand," Ling Shuang nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with approval.

What she admired most about Xu Jingming was his ability to know when to advance and when to retreat, remaining calm and composed.

Even when faced with overwhelming temptation, he stays true to himself and acts according to his actual circumstances.

"Also, did you take Sam from the Silver Moon Corporation's space ring?"

"Yes, I have it.

After I sort everything out, I'll give you a share, Teacher."

Xu Jingming grinned, not denying it.

He'd killed the man—of course he wasn't leaving the spoils behind.

"These are your spoils—keep them for yourself."

Ling Shuang shook her head, seriously warning:

"But remember one thing: don't touch any of his bank cards."

"Even the anonymous ones?" Xu Jingming frowned.

He'd just spent money on cultivating the Thornsword Grass and was short on funds.

Anonymous bank cards have no customer name or password.

They're essential tools for corrupt officials like Sam.

"Anonymous ones are fine, just don't touch cards from major banks.

Sam was a procurement director—his accounts likely hold Silver Moon Corporation's procurement funds.

If you use them, it'll cause serious trouble."

Silver Moon Corporation is a force on par with Thunder Martial Academy—best to avoid provoking them.

As for the killing at the Hiton Hotel, Sam got what he deserved.

Ling Shuang believed Silver Moon Corporation wouldn't investigate once they learned the circumstances.

"Then that's settled," Xu Jingming sighed in relief.

By the time he left Ling Shuang's villa, it was nearly midnight.

But when Xu Jingming returned to his own villa's second floor, he didn't rest immediately.

Instead, he excitedly pulled out Sam's space ring.

With a sweep of his spiritual energy, Sam's residual spiritual imprint vanished.

In its place, Xu Jingming's own spiritual imprint took hold.

Simultaneously, an independent space of roughly 100 cubic meters appeared in his perception.

About half of this space was filled with blocks of black soil, each about one cubic meter in size.

The rest contained various miscellaneous items: rare flowers and exotic herbs.

There were also bundles of Blue Planet currency, totaling roughly 10 to 20 million.

Additionally, five highly noticeable bank cards.

"Got it!" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up as he immediately grabbed the five cards.

Two of them belonged to Michell Financial Bank, the largest in Mo City.

The card numbers and other details were fully visible.

In contrast, the other three cards were much simpler.

They were entirely black, with golden patterns along the edges.

Aside from the words "Morgan Bank" in English on the front, there was no other information.

Morgan Bank was a renowned international financial institution.

Many anonymous bank cards were issued through them.

"These three cards must be Sam's personal vault."

Brilliant golden lightning flared, burning the two Michell cards to ash, after which Xu Jingming said to Eva:

"Scan these three cards—find out how much balance remains on each."

"Got it!"

Eva's holographic projection, a green-haired little girl, appeared cheerfully in the villa's living room.

Blue virtual light projected onto the cards, and within seconds she replied:

"Each of these three anonymous bank cards holds 200 million Blue Planet credits."

"200 million per card! Three cards equal 600 million!" Xu Jingming's eyes sparkled.

He'd been worried about lacking funds, and now old Sam had handed him such a massive sum!

Add the 50,000 credits Ling Shuang gifted him—worth 1 billion Greater Xia credits—and

In one night, he'd earned 7 billion Greater Xia credits!

This was something Xu Jingming had never imagined before arriving.

"Is this what it feels like to cling to a powerful ally? Absolutely amazing!"

"Yet even just a procurement director could embezzle this much."

"Silver Moon Corporation must be swimming in wealth—but unfortunately, it all ended up as my spoils."

In high spirits, Xu Jingming placed the three bank cards into his own space ring.

His own bank cards were issued in Greater Xia and could hold Blue Planet credits,

But he didn't want anyone tracking his financial movements, so he had no intention of withdrawing the money from these anonymous cards.

He'd leave them there and use them directly when needed.

"Also, what are these things? Why did old Sam pack so many into his space ring?"

Curious, Xu Jingming pulled out a portion of the black soil from the ring.

But as soon as he did, the Thornsword Grass wrapped around him, now acting as a plant armor, suddenly surged with intense craving!
