"How dare you!"
The guard's eyes widened as he slapped Manager Ma's face. A few bloody teeth flew out of Manager Ma's mouth.
Little brat?
This word stunned Zhou Fu for a moment. Then, a burst of evil fire surged in his heart.
At this moment, he remembered that he was only a teenager. There was still more than a year to go before he turned twenty, no, eighteen years old!
But now, he was being inexplicably forced by a group of people. They were forcing him to keep moving!
As he thought of this, the light in Zhou Fu's eyes was like the northern wind in the cold winter night. It was a coldness that penetrated his cotton clothes and reached his soul.
He looked at the guard who had just hit him and said, "Ask them to hand over the title deed. You will be the leader of the guards here!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
Under the envious gazes of the group of people, the guard led the four gagged shopkeepers out.
After the room quieted down, Jin Peng asked softly, "Sir, do you have any orders?"
Zhou Fu didn't even think about it and said directly, "After we get the title deed, tear it down and rebuild it!"
This answer made Jin Peng smile bitterly. He said, "Sir, these restaurants at the East City Pier all have people behind them. Even if we get the title deed today, there will be a lot of things to do later."
Zhou Fu obviously knew about this, but he also had a reason to take action.
In the headquarters of the Giant Whale, there was a group of people who didn't want him to have a peaceful time. So, he wouldn't let them have an easy time.
As the Giant Whale's ambassador, Zhou Fu robbed other people's restaurants. The people behind those restaurants would definitely think of the Giant Whale first, and then Zhou Fu.
On a deeper level, Zhou Fu also wanted to use this matter to test the bottom line of Xing Gang and the others.
If Xing Gang only reprimanded them, it meant that the power behind these restaurants was not good enough. Then, Zhou Fu could secretly eat them up.
If Xing Gang gave in, then he wouldn't suffer too much loss in a short time. After all, there was still Shi Long waiting for him to deal with.
In this way, Zhou Fu would not suffer any losses. In fact, he could even make a profit.
After an hour, a guard came in with a few pieces of paper in his hand.
"Milord, here are three deeds.
The shopkeeper of the Drunken Guest House said that the deed to the restaurant was not in his hands. This subordinate broke his four limbs but was still unable to obtain the deed. It seems that what he said was true. "
Zhou Fu took the deed and handed it to Jin Peng, saying, "You go and prepare first. Deal with the things in these three restaurants."
"Yes!"
After that, Zhou Fu turned around and asked the guard, "What's your name?"
The guard was immediately overjoyed and excitedly said, "Milord, this lowly one is called Duan Cheng!"
"Good, Duan Cheng. From today onwards, you are the leader of the Elysium's guards."
"Thank you, Milord. This lowly one will definitely not disappoint Milord."
Zhou Fu nodded and ordered, "Go and ask about the owners behind the four restaurants."
"Yes!"
Duan Cheng turned around and left the room.
Zhou Fu looked at Jin Peng and the other two and said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest."
"Yes, we will take our leave."
The next day.
As Zhou Fu expected, he was the first to receive a letter of reprimand from the headquarters. After skipping through a lot of useless nonsense, the letter said that Zhou Fu should return the shopkeeper of the Drunken Guest House and take out ten thousand taels of silver as an apology.
As for the other three, the letter didn't even mention them.
Finally, the headquarters directly made it clear that the Red Sea gang on the docks of the eastern city had been very rampant recently. They wanted Zhou Fu to deal with them, or else they would reduce his supply of Spirit Concentration Pills.
Zhou Fu put down the letter and looked at Jin Peng, who was still waiting for his reply. "After you return, throw out the shopkeeper of the Drunken Guest House. As for the other three restaurants, quickly deal with them.
Everything else will proceed according to the previous plan. Go! "
"Yes, Milord."
After Jin Peng left, Zhou Fu got up and went to the training field to begin practicing the Tyrannical Whale Fist.
Ever since his last upgrade, he had comprehended many Origin Force techniques.
Although he understood these things, it was very awkward to use them. Simply put, he was an armchair strategist. He had a lot of theories but lacked practice.
As an Earth-tier technique, the Tyrannical Whale Fist wasn't just a simple fist technique. It included a mental cultivation method, training method, and fighting method.
The Flying Immortal's assistance was simple and crude. Anything that was used on the body would be directly upgraded.
As for the fighting method and training method, it was separated into comprehension and memory, which were stuffed into Zhou Fu's mind. As for whether his body could be used skillfully, it was none of his business.
Even worse was his Inner Force. After upgrading the technique, he only increased his comprehension of the technique. As for Inner Force, it was completely nourished by his powerful physique, which promoted the increase of Inner Force. This kind of increase couldn't even compare to Zhou Fu's own cultivation. This was also something that he had always been uncomfortable with.
…
Ten days later.
Chen Guhong came to Zhou Fu's residence with a small wooden box in his hand. His face was full of joy.
"Milord, this is the first batch of Spirit Concentration Pills. This subordinate has already had someone test it. It can increase the effects of cultivation by thirty percent in the Bone Forging Realm."
Zhou Fu raised his eyebrows. His eyes shone brightly. He couldn't wait to open the box. When he saw the pills wrapped in wax, his face bloomed with joy.
In the past ten days of cultivation, his eleventh meridian had only increased by a little. If he continued at this rate, he wouldn't be able to break through to the twelfth meridian without at least two months of hard work.
"Good!
You did very well! "Zhou Fu closed the box and looked at Chen Guhong." I'll go and test the effects first. "After he finished speaking, he got up and walked into the Technique Practicing Room and sat down cross-legged.
He took out a Spirit Concentration Pill from the box, broke the wax, and swallowed the black pill inside.
A warm feeling spread from his stomach. As his blood and Qi circulated, it accelerated the conversion of Inner Force.
The effects of the pill lasted for fifteen minutes. Zhou Fu opened his eyes and sighed. The Spirit Concentration Pills in front of him were more than a grade lower than the ones that Xing Gang gave him.
"Sigh ~ It's good that you have it. I'll use it first. It's better than nothing."
When he returned to the study, Chen Guhong was still waiting for him.
Zhou Fu sat down and asked, "How many Spirit Concentration Pills can you make each month?"
"Sir, due to the limitations of the materials, I can only make three hundred pills each month."
Three hundred pills?
That was too little. According to the current effects of the pill, he needed to consume at least five pills a day.
Zhou Fu ordered, "Of the three hundred pills each month, you keep one hundred and send the rest to me."
Chen Guhong was stunned and looked at Zhou Fu in surprise. He originally thought that he would give all three hundred pills to Zhou Fu. He didn't expect that he would leave one hundred pills for himself.
"For the remaining one hundred pills, your Chen family will take fifty, and Huang Jia will take fifty. As for the cost of the materials, you will split it in half."
"Thank you, Sir!" Chen Guhong hurriedly thanked him.
He knew the value of these pills. Before he had come here, after he had tested the pills, the eyes of those Bone Forging masters had shined. If it weren't for Zhou Fu's ferocious might, these people definitely wouldn't have let him take away all the Spirit Condensing Pills so easily.
"Pay more attention to the alchemy materials. Increase the quantity. If there's anything you can't solve, remember to report it."
"Yes!"
"Go."
After Chen Guhong left, Zhou Fu picked up the pill box and walked into the training room again.
