Chapter 1059: Spirit Mine

"Furthermore, setting aside the people who work for my boss, I have over a hundred guns here, and I even have heavy weaponry. Do you really think I'm afraid of people coming to snatch things?"

"Then I can also tell you that these guns, in the eyes of a true Cultivator or someone with special abilities, are not worth mentioning at all. You don't really think that everyone is afraid of guns, do you?" Chen Yu smiled.

Qiao An's face darkened, looking somewhat displeased, but at this moment, Yu Qiao, who was to the side, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Haha, Qiao An, don't be angry. Mr. Chen is right."

"I told you before, Mr. Chen is someone who possesses special abilities, and I saw it with my own eyes," Yu Qiao laughed.

"Haha, alright Yu Qiao. Mr. Chen is a straightforward person; I've decided to make this friend. Let's conduct the transaction now," Qiao An laughed heartily, not taking Yu Qiao's words to heart at all.

"Mr. Chen, how shall we pay?" Qiao An asked.

"Give me an account number," Chen Yu said.

"Good, this is my account number," Qiao An smiled.

Chen Yu received the account number, then had Qiao An disable the signal in the room. He picked up his phone and made a call; not a moment later, the money had arrived in the account.

Qiao An looked at the notification of the funds arriving on his phone, and he couldn't help but feel a slight jolt in his heart.

Truth be told, although these stones were good, he didn't think they were worth that much money, and he wasn't short on cash. But seeing the other party pay 1.5 billion without even blinking, his heart still skipped a beat.

"Mr. Chen, it has arrived. Let's go; I'm hosting today. I will have someone pack these things up and send them over," Qiao An put away his phone.

Chen Yu furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat unhappy. These things were not ordinary items; he had to watch them being delivered into his own hands to be satisfied.

After all, this was not exactly a proper place of business; if these things left his sight, they might be swapped out.

"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Qiao An is my brother; nothing will happen. I stake my Life on it," Yu Qiao said, having sensed Chen Yu's thoughts as he stepped forward.

"Very well," Chen Yu nodded slightly, then walked out together with Qiao An.

In a private villa, Qiao An had set up a banquet.

The banquet in this place was certainly not as refined as those back home, but Qiao An was a man who didn't lack money; many things were flown in from abroad, with Aozhou lobster and veal available in abundance.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, this glass, I toast to you." Qiao An had completed this deal and was in an excellent mood. Although a portion had to be offered as tribute to those above him, all things considered, he had still earned at least a billion.

In his eyes, Chen Yu was currently nothing more than a sucker.

Chen Yu raised his glass to acknowledge the gesture, then drained it in one gulp.

"Mr. Chen, what kind of business do you do back home? Judging by Mr. Chen's appearance, it seems you don't lack money," Qiao An asked as he set down his glass.

"It covers a wide range; I won't go into specifics. It certainly isn't as carefree as your situation here, where the heavens are high and the emperor is far away," Chen Yu said indifferently.

He didn't want to say too much to Qiao An, but the Spirit Mine that the other party controlled was something Chen Yu hadn't anticipated. He thought that if a suitable opportunity arose, he would actually like to buy a stake in this place.

"Hehe, other than the heavens being high and the emperor being far away, there is nothing here worth envying. To tell you the truth, I'm tired of living this kind of life. I want to wash my hands of it and go straight, but it's already too late."

Qiao An downed another glass of wine and stopped talking about this topic. He pointed at Yu Qiao and said, "Brother Yu Qiao and I have known each other for ten years."

"Back then, I was in a wretched state. I had killed someone and fled here. I spent three days starving on the streets, eating trash and sleeping on the pavement; I was almost at the end of my rope."

"If it weren't for Brother Yu Qiao giving me a hand, giving me a bite to eat, and plotting a way out for me, I wouldn't have been able to hold on, get the chance to meet big shots, and have what I have today."

"Qiao An, don't talk about the past anymore. Aren't you living very well now?" Yu Qiao laughed: "I can't make it in the country anymore, so I'll have to rely on you to help me out in the future."

"Brother Yu Qiao, please rest assured. In this territory, what is mine is yours," Qiao An grinned, slapping the table and swearing solemnly: "I, Qiao An, am not an ungrateful person. From now on, what is mine is yours."

"With your word, I can rest easy," Yu Qiao nodded, picked up a glass of wine, and drained it.

Setting down the glass, Qiao An waved his hand and said: "Bring Mr. Chen's things over."

Two subordinates walked over, one of them carrying a case in his hand. Inside the case were the Spirit Stones Chen Yu had just purchased.

"Mr. Chen, these are your things. I had someone bring them over for you. Haha, happy to do business with you," Qiao An laughed heartily, waving his hand to signal his subordinate to bring the case to Chen Yu.

One of the subordinates opened the case and placed it on the table.

Chen Yu didn't even glance at the case. He said indifferently: "Mr. Qiao, in business, the most important thing is integrity. These three stones are not the three I bought."

Qiao An's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? Do you not trust me? Of course I value integrity in business. These stones are exactly the ones you bought."

"Qiao An, what is going on?" Yu Qiao's face changed. He knew Qiao An well; there were times when he might do some unbelievable things, but he hadn't expected Qiao An to target Chen Yu.

Qiao An probably didn't know what kind of person Chen Yu was. He simply thought that since he had over a hundred subordinates, each armed with guns and heavy weaponry, dealing with a single Chen Yu would be a piece of cake. But he probably never dreamed that Chen Yu was someone who possessed special abilities.

"Yu Qiao, you are my big brother; that is a fact that will never change," Qiao An smiled: "And thank you for bringing me Mr. Chen as a client, but how I conduct my business is my own affair. Don't interfere, alright?"

"Qiao An, what do you mean? I treated you like a brother, which is why I introduced Mr. Chen to you. Do you think Mr. Chen is the kind of person who can be bullied at will?" Yu Qiao's face turned pale instantly.

"Take out Mr. Chen's things immediately and apologize to him, otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Hehe, in my own territory, I have never apologized to anyone." Qiao An set down the steak in his hand, grabbed a cloth, wiped his mouth, and sneered as he looked at Yu Qiao.

"And Yu Qiao, you can barely look after yourself right now, so don't worry about other people's business. In consideration of you helping me in the past, I will continue to provide you with good food and drink while you are here; that should be enough to repay you. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship."

"Good, very good, Qiao An." Yu Qiao's expression changed completely. He gritted his teeth and said: "Are you trying to be an ungrateful person? Don't forget who gave you a hand when you were at your most difficult."
