~13 min read 2,499 words

After leaving the Warwolf Barbecue Shop, Facing Facing Cang Luo found Wang Fuhai, Zhao Renwu, and Cang Feng, telling them he would be away for a few days and asking them to pay close attention to the barbecue shop.

Facing Facing Cang Luo said solemnly, "The Warwolf Barbecue concerns the future of all sect members; it must be managed properly. Promotion must be thorough, service must be considerate, quality must be guaranteed, and the supply chain must keep up."

The three nodded heavily.

Facing Facing Cang Luo then said to Wang Fuhai, "Senior Brother Wang, find a time to discuss with your father and see if we can promote the few clothing designs I created; I believe it will definitely spark a fashion craze."

Speaking, Facing Facing Cang Luo thought for a moment and added, "Use the Warwolf Sect's name to talk to your father; the Warwolf Sect will not only do catering but also enter the fashion industry; I will provide more designs."

Hearing this, Wang Fuhai was stunned for a moment, then happily said, "I had the same plan but was too embarrassed to bring it up; I didn't expect the Sect Leader to propose it actively. Sect Leader, please rest assured; I will take care of this matter."

Pausing for a moment, Wang Fuhai hesitated and said, "It's just..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo knew what he was going to say and preempted him, "I regard Brother Wang as a brother, and I hope Brother Wang regards me as a brother; everyone in the Warwolf Sect are brothers, so I won't waste words."

"An eighty-twenty split!" Facing Facing Cang Luo held up two fingers and said calmly, "The Warwolf Sect gets two, your family gets eight..."

"Sect Leader, this is not acceptable...!" Wang Fuhai was slightly startled; he felt the share Facing Facing Cang Luo offered his family was too high, but he immediately reacted.

He asked in confusion, "Does Brother Cang mean that everything involved in making the clothes, including the fabric, the workers, and the sales channels, will be handled entirely by my family, while the Warwolf Sect only takes the money?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded and said, "Yes, the Warwolf Sect only takes the money and retains the right to audit the accounts at any time."

Wang Fuhai said solemnly, "This is natural; I swear on my martial arts that if my Wang family swallows even a penny, I will personally destroy my own cultivation..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded in satisfaction, exchanged some details with Wang Fuhai again, and agreed to sign the contract after he returned from subduing the demonic beasts.

After finishing the talk about fashion, Facing Facing Cang Luo thought for a moment and mentioned many more ideas, all regarding business.

Facing Facing Cang Luo planned that once the Warwolf Barbecue Shop stabilized and began making profits, he would have Wang Fuhai's family invest in opening branch stores.

It wasn't just the barbecue shop; Facing Facing Cang Luo wanted to bring all foods that could be made on Earth to the Yuanwu Continent—burgers, steaks, fruit juice, spicy crayfish, and even the buffet model; these could all be made on the Yuanwu Continent without machinery or equipment.

Facing Facing Cang Luo planned to have the Warwolf Sect cooperate with the Wang family to become business tycoons and establish a business alliance, starting with the clothing and catering industries.

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are all indispensable; no matter which world you are in, if you do these four things well, you won't worry about lacking money...

Facing Facing Cang Luo and Wang Fuhai talked with increasing enthusiasm, but it was all Facing Facing Cang Luo speaking while Wang Fuhai listened.

Zhao Renwu and Cang Feng just listened quietly on the side without interrupting, yet as they listened, huge waves quickly churned up in their hearts.

Zhao Renwu rapidly fanned his paper fan to conceal his extremely excited and utterly shocked mood at that moment.

He was a person with great ambitions and ideals, possessed decent personal ability, and was quite scheming, but he was helpless because he came from a commoner background, lacked cultivation resources, and could not rise to prominence.

Yet he was unwilling to remain so; he wanted to become a superior person one day, a powerful figure in a region.

Therefore, he was extremely diligent in his cultivation, cultivated wide social connections, gathered fellow disciples around him, and missed no opportunity that might benefit himself.

He firmly believed that opportunities are created; as long as one is willing to work hard, there will surely be rewards in the future.

Now, having heard Facing Facing Cang Luo and Wang Fuhai's business cooperation plans for the future of the Warwolf Sect and the Wang family, how could he not know this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

How could he not see what kind of profits the commercial cooperation between the two sides would generate?

If things went smoothly, he could definitely become a major tycoon in the Danyang Commandery!

With money, cultivation resources would naturally have a source.

At this very moment, Zhao Renwu became even more determined in his plan to seize the Warwolf Sect; he discovered that in Facing Facing Cang Luo and Wang Fuhai's conversation, they were cooperating with the Wang family in the name of the Warwolf Sect.

This meant that as long as he controlled the Warwolf Sect, wouldn't the commercial cooperation between the Warwolf Sect and the Wang family become a cooperation between himself and the Wang family?

By then, everything of the Warwolf Sect would be his!

Thinking of this, Zhao Renwu remembered Zhang Zhen again; why hadn't that guy come to trouble Facing Facing Cang Luo yet? Could it be that he was scared into submission by the beating?

That shouldn't be; that guy was vindictive and would definitely not let Facing Facing Cang Luo off; was he recovering from injuries? Waiting until his wounds healed to take revenge?

It must be so; next time he comes, he will definitely bring people from the Fierce Heaven Sect; by then, Facing Facing Cang Luo will surely die without a doubt.

However, it would be best if he came a bit later, after the cooperation between Facing Facing Cang Luo and the Wang family was finalized, before seeking revenge...

Zhao Renwu was excitedly planning the future.

Cang Feng, standing nearby, was also listening to Facing Facing Cang Luo and Wang Fuhai's conversation with considerable shock; he finally believed what his master had said: Facing Facing Cang Luo was by no means an ordinary person.

With his help, perhaps his great grudge could be avenged sooner...

Two youths with different purposes were calculating in their own minds.

Facing Facing Cang Luo and Wang Fuhai were still detailing the commercial cooperation plans between the two sides; they talked on the street for over an hour, while Zhao Renwu and Cang Feng listened silently beside them.

Having said enough, Facing Facing Cang Luo had briefly covered everything he could think of; his mouth was dry from talking. The reason he told Wang Fuhai all this was that Wang Fuhai was the only partner he could currently find.

First, this partner possessed considerable assets, which was the prerequisite for cooperation; Facing Facing Cang Luo had no money and could only seek investors.

Second, and most importantly, according to Wang Fuhai, his family was engaged in commerce, not a martial arts family; the highest cultivation in the family was his father, who only reached the ninth level of the Martial General realm.

This was the point Facing Facing Cang Luo liked most about cooperating with the Wang family; the Wang family's martial power was not strong; if they dared to play tricks or schemes in front of him in the future, he would annihilate them!

After saying a few more words, Facing Facing Cang Luo, feeling mentally exhausted, said, "Let's leave it at that for now; I have some matters to attend to and will be away for a few days; we will discuss the details upon my return."

Wang Fuhai did not ask what Facing Facing Cang Luo was going to do; he nodded solemnly and said, "Sect Leader, please go with peace of mind; with me, Senior Brother Zhao, and Senior Brother Cang here, the Warwolf Sect will be fine."

Zhao Renwu and Cang Feng also nodded hurriedly.

Facing Facing Cang Luo said no more, directly summoned Erha, and headed toward the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

Facing Facing Cang Luo traveled north, eager to try whether he could subdue a second demonic beast, feeling quite uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, the mobile phone tucked against his chest vibrated; Facing Facing Cang Luo had not set an alarm, meaning it was a phone call.

While riding Erha, Facing Facing Cang Luo casually took out his phone; he felt a bit impatient about this incoming call.

What could be more important than me subduing a demonic beast?

Damn! If it's a call from Feng Lin Huo Shan, I must make them reimburse the call charges; this is a long-distance call, an inter-universe long-distance call.

It must cost at least ten thousand per minute, and it must be in US dollars!

Mumbling, Facing Facing Cang Luo glared at the phone screen in a bad mood, only to find it was a call from his cousin Yang Yongshan; instantly, his interest waned; he didn't need to think to know what his cousin was calling about.

Facing Facing Cang Luo had transferred several million RMB to his cousin in total for investment and entrepreneurship; he hadn't calculated the exact amount, didn't care much, and left it all to him to decide.

Facing Facing Cang Luo didn't care much about the company's situation; as long as it made money, that was fine, but Yang Yongshan cared.

Every week, he would report the company's development to Facing Facing Cang Luo, saying what project he had invested in today, what company he was preparing to open tomorrow...

Facing Facing Cang Luo was initially very attentive, offering many suggestions during their calls, but as the frequency increased, he grew somewhat impatient and began making excuses to hang up quickly.

Because of this, Yang Yongshan lectured him, saying, "We are now billionaires; why don't you care? This is your company! Your money!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo really wanted to tell him that his cousin was now a transmigrator, a martial artist, cultivating, with no mind for managing a company.

Helplessly pressing the call button, Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled and said, "Cousin, did you make money again?"

After Facing Facing Cang Luo spoke, strangely, his cousin remained silent for a long time. Thinking the phone had malfunctioned, he shook the device and said again, "Cousin?"

This time there was finally a sound; from the other end of the phone came his cousin Yang Yongshan's intermittent voice: "Cou... Cousin..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo sensed his voice was somewhat abnormal and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

Then there was silence again.

After a long while, Yang Yongshan spoke in a small voice tinged with tears: "Cousin... I, I let you down..."

"Let me down? Did you lose money in business?" Facing Facing Cang Luo exclaimed in surprise. "Did the investment fail? Losing some money isn't a big deal; victory and defeat are common among soldiers."

Though Facing Facing Cang Luo said he didn't care, what he didn't care about was only the company's management. Entrusting it to his cousin Yang Yongshan was a helpless measure, but also a sign of trust; after all, Facing Facing Cang Luo could not return to Earth.

In reality, Facing Facing Cang Luo cared very much about how many assets he possessed.

Although he was now on the Yuanwu Continent and had become a martial artist, temporarily not needing Earth's money, it did not mean he wouldn't need it after returning to Earth.

Upon returning to Earth, he could use Earth's money to purchase supplies and sell them on the Yuanwu Continent, such as expanding the War Wolf Gang's business; after earning money on the Yuanwu Continent, he could then purchase cultivation resources to improve his cultivation, commonly known as arbitrage.

Seeing his cousin fall silent again, Facing Facing Cang Luo loudly demanded, "Speak!"

"It's gone..." Yang Yongshan was startled by Facing Facing Cang Luo's tone and trembled as he said, "It's gone, everything is gone..."

"What's gone? Be clear! Don't beat around the bush." Facing Facing Cang Luo shouted impatiently.

"It... it's like this..."

Yang Yongshan remained silent for a long time before slowly explaining the reason.

He said that all companies and assets under his and Facing Facing Cang Luo's names had suddenly been subjected to malicious competition and sabotage by certain companies, causing Facing Facing Cang Luo's enterprises to go bankrupt almost entirely.

Most crucially, the opposing side had employed entirely normal business tactics.

Suppressing prices, poaching staff, fighting for projects, slandering product quality, and so on; they also reported the companies and factories for various unsafe and non-compliant facilities, such as inadequate fire safety equipment.

They even fabricated numerous illegal acts by employees. These tactics ultimately rendered the companies completely unable to operate normally, forcing production halts and rectifications; employees resigned in droves, products became unsellable and worthless, and the companies were finally forced into bankruptcy.

After hearing this, Facing Facing Cang Luo flew into a rage and roared, "Didn't you call the police?"

"It's useless, heh..." Yang Yongshan gave a bitter smile and said weakly, "Didn't I say? The opposing side used entirely normal business tactics."

Moreover, their methods were extremely sophisticated, leaving no trace. After reporting to the police, the response was either that a case could not be filed or that an investigation was underway, and then nothing more happened..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo said in a deep voice, "Do you know who they are?"

"We investigated, but on the surface, it's all professional managers running things; the mastermind behind the scenes is unknown... Xiao Luo, I, I let you down. Did we offend someone by making too much money?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo did not answer; he was thinking. Yang Yongshan was right; they must have offended someone.

However, it was absolutely not because they made too much money that they offended someone. All of Facing Facing Cang Luo's assets on Earth combined amounted to only about one hundred million; was that amount of money worth such elaborate schemes?

Facing Facing Cang Luo thought for a moment and analyzed the opposing side's methods; the enemy possessed terrifyingly vast capital and even overwhelming power, otherwise how could they mobilize relevant departments to cooperate with the investigation?

Facing Facing Cang Luo felt it was likely his own fault; for instance, someone wanted intelligence on the Yuanwu Continent, he refused to give it, so they used these tactics to force him...

After a long while, Facing Facing Cang Luo said coldly, "Be careful for now; I will handle the rest."
