Chapter 982: I Will Surely Bravely Face Fire and Water for You

……

"Here, the key!"

"Thanks."

"Damn, we're all fucking bros, no need to say it."

"How's the Rejuvenation Needle business coming along?"

Those words struck Cai Xu right in the gut.

He'd been waiting for exactly this line!

His eyes instantly widened, and he slapped his chest, saying: "When Cai makes a move, it's a capture at once!"

Su Yang stroked the key and asked, "How much funding is lacking?"

Hmm?

Cai Xu was taken aback, clearly not expecting Su Yang to be so considerate.

He immediately fell into a dilemma.

His thoughts spun, then he said, "It's not that we're short, it's the seller's side…"

Su Yang cut in, "If it's a money shortage, just say so. I don't care about the process; I want the result."

Cai Xu let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He could say he understood.

The Demon is a fellow who never lacks money.

His gaze is sharp, instantly seeing the trouble he faces.

He asked curiously, "How do you know I'm short of funds?"

Su Yang smiled and explained, "I met a destitute pair of grandchildren today; they're poorer than you, yet they can receive the Rejuvenation Needle."

"I recalled the asset verification you mentioned earlier."

"Since the lower‑class residents of Lower City District can also receive it."

"It shows the Threshold has been lowered considerably, and demand will rise accordingly."

"And your primary job is selling Cigarettes; although there are many channels, you can only turn to second‑hand dealers."

"Unless you possess a transcendent ability, you simply cannot obtain results."

Cai Xu forced an awkward smile, a helpless look flashing in his eyes.

This is indeed his dire situation.

Rootless floating duckweed lives a carefree life.

But once a gale and storm hit, it will struggle to protect itself, swaying with the wind.

Cai Xu knows this well, so he strives to change.

Su Yang is the only upper‑tier person he can reach whose status is respectable.

Being well‑versed in the law of the jungle of Lower City District, he must grasp this Rescue straw.

And precisely for that reason, he spares no effort to do this.

"The Demon gentleman truly has eyes like pearls, spotting the clue at a glance!" Cai Xu said with a flattering smile.

Su Yang shook his head and chuckled, explaining, "If it's set for two days, that's two days. You don't need to worry about the money; I only need the goods."

"Also, if any trouble arises, feel free to call me; I'll handle it."

"If anyone bullies you, be sure to call me."

"I'm not a bad person, but I'm also not the type to endure bullying in silence."

"So I hope…"

"You as well."

At those words, Cai Xu was taken aback.

He, wildly excited, grasped Su Yang's hand and pledged, "I will definitely fulfill the gentleman's arrangement."

"Rest assured, Cai will certainly go through fire and water for you!"

"I won't disappoint expectations!"

Facing his enthusiasm, Su Yang was a little unable to cope.

Then he subtly withdrew his hand.

He knows most people in Lower City District have nothing, yet yearn for respect and recognition.

Especially someone like Cai Xu, who has seen the scenery halfway up the mountain.

They most want to shed the Lower Class identity.

If a chance to rise into Central City District arises, he'll spare no effort to seize it.

Even if it's a one‑shot gamble.

Su Yang never skimp on opportunities.

Since it's a win‑win, why not?

Small figures—

Also possess notable energy and charm.

"The Warehouse matter must be kept secret; don't disclose it to a third party," Su Yang reminded.

"Rest assured, my mouth is tightly sealed!" Cai Xu solemnly nodded.

Su Yang gave a meaningful glance.

Cai Xu instantly understood and immediately produced a device specifically for receiving payments.

"Ding!"

The Hand Ring collided with it, and the payment transferred immediately.

Seeing the many '0's above, Cai Xu's eyelids twitched sharply.

He was ecstatic inside, but his face showed little.

Only his complexion flushed.

"I'll await your good news tomorrow night," Su Yang smiled faintly.

"Hmm!"

Cai Xu glanced toward the Warehouse, then waved goodbye.

Su Yang stared at his back; after a moment, the Smile on his face vanished instantly.

A moment later, Tiger walked out of the Warehouse.

"How is it?"

"This guy is good at everything, just a bit greedy."

"He has a weakness, just right for me to exploit."

"His family is his tether; people like him always leave a margin when they act, and I like his sense of proportion."

"So… what will you do after obtaining the Rejuvenation Needle?"

"Find a lucky person and give them a Defying Heaven chance to change fate."

"I thought you'd inject it yourself."

"My life is long, but not larger than Heaven."

Hearing this, Tiger became a bit unable to hold back.

He thought all that effort was just to conduct an experiment?

And using innocent people for it?

Combined with her knowledge of the Demon, doing such a thing is not surprising.

Only that…

"What is the purpose of the experiment?" Tiger asked curiously.

"The Rejuvenation Needle can grant Defective Products powerful strength, indicating that Huichun Pavilion's technology surpasses the Three Major Companies."

"They dare to openly sell their results in White Bear City, unafraid of determined people coming after them, which proves their confidence."

"I conduct experiments not merely out of curiosity; perhaps I can discover the essence of Gene Modification," Su Yang said.

Tiger felt he was being a bit fanciful.

All the good things in the world have been taken by you alone?

Of course, she thought Su Yang was hiding something.

The intention certainly wouldn't be that simple.

He just didn't state it, and Tiger didn't feel like asking further.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "The Bee King and the Nest are both set up."

Su Yang hadn't carefully examined the Warehouse's appearance.

Now, looking casually, he saw the building originally used to temporarily store logs was slightly dilapidated.

It only had four walls and a ruined roof.

Wind leaked everywhere, and the wall plaster had peeled off most of its surface.

Su Yang did not despise it; on the contrary, he was very satisfied.

"It's just right to have ventilation conditions."

Tiger nodded, "I dug a pit in the middle of the Warehouse to hold Urine; Cai Xu brought nutrients over, it should last a day or two."

"As for the Stone…"

"They're everywhere across the mountains; I piled a few in, should be enough for a few days."

Su Yang slightly nodded, "Please keep an eye on the developments of Tenglong Corporation."

Tiger waved his hand, "Don't worry, even if you didn't tell me, I'd still do it."

Su Yang pondered briefly, then continued, "…the Enforcer side will certainly not sit by idly; I believe within three days White Bear City will erupt into an unprecedented great war."

Tiger, aware of the seriousness, immediately said, "The world is in chaos; are you confident you can obtain the rare Hidden Achievement?"

Su Yang stared at her cold‑spring‑like eyes, smiling, "The more chaotic, the better for me; I like challenges."

When the words ended, the two Hand Rings rang a bell simultaneously.

They exchanged glances, then lowered their gazes together.

The Supervisor sent a message to both—

"Tomorrow morning at eight, the Company Research Department assembles."
