"Kang Daqiang?"

The two individuals suddenly seemed to have a realization and eventually, both uttered the name simultaneously.

"Hehe, it seems you two are not that foolish after all. Yes, the instigator of everything back then was indeed Kang Daqiang."

"What? Him? Kang Daqiang and I always had a good relationship back in the days."

Guo Tao seemed somewhat incredulous, as after all, he had always treated Kang Daqiang like his best brother.

He had never thought that his brother would do such a thing and even frame his arch-enemy for it.

"That's not right, I've always had a good relationship with Kang Daqiang as well."

"See? Now he has good relationships with both your families, which means he was trying to benefit from your rivalry. After you left, Kang Daqiang bought all the shares and established the largest group company locally."

"Right, I was happy for him at that time, reaching where he is today, but I had never thought too much about it." "In fact, all his connections, including all his financial resources, come from both your families' enterprises. Each family gave him a part without realizing it, and seemed unrelated to you."

"Then why, when his company's business was flourishing suddenly, did he retract and swiftly leave this place, selling off all his assets? Since then, I seem to have never seen him again."

"That's because I interfered secretly and I didn't want such a person to continue on, so I personally took back that business, and afterward, he went on the run."

"On the run?"

"After all, he committed so many inhumane deeds, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing, so we issued a Martial Arts World hit order against him. Now, he should be hiding on a small island abroad, but over these years, I've never given up tracking him."

"So, you still haven't been able to find him now?"

"No, I don't know where he's hiding, but he definitely changed his identity, that's for sure."

"Old man, since you knew so much back then, why didn't you tell us everything? And after knowing, we could have immediately found Kang Daqiang, and confronted all this."

"The reason I didn't disclose everything publicly was because I had my own thoughts. If I had spoken out, it wouldn't necessarily have only led to an outright conflict between you two. Instead, it may have been planning conflicts among you two. Think it over, could that be the reason?"

At this point, Guo Tao and Yang Da remained silent.

Both of them slowly lowered their heads, seemingly contemplating what their situation would be if this incident had occurred.

"So, I don't want to destroy your two families, and thus had no choice but to do this at the time."

"Sixth Master, I never thought that he would be the one creating all this mess."

"Sixth Master, is this really true?"

"I'm already at this age, do you think I'm in the mood to joke about such matters here? Let me tell you, I'm definitely not joking, and it is the fact."

"Alright, even if I have to search to the ends of the earth, I must dig out Kang Daqiang and then tear his body into pieces."

"No need, really not necessary, so many years have passed, whether he is dead or alive, honestly, I'm not very sure. Now after so many years of grievances, I think you two families can start afresh."

Upon hearing this, Guo Tao and Yang Da both paused momentarily.

Indeed, they had never considered these matters and did not know that so many changes were hidden within.

"Besides, I know you have started to diversify in your businesses. I'm well aware, Guo Tao, your intentions are simple; you want to access that European trade channel that I control and clear a path for yourself, right?"

"He's monopolized that channel for years, and I can't transport my goods through it. I must detour through other straits, which greatly increases my costs. Up to now, I've been continuously at a loss."

"Yang Da, what do you think about this?"

"Old man, I fought for this path with my life, how could I easily let you through?"

"But don't forget, I also contributed a lot on this path back then. Why are you taking over entirely now without giving me any opportunities?"

"That's because you don't have the ability now. If you had the ability, you could take over this trade route, but I think you probably won't see this happen in your lifetime."

"Alright, competitive issues in business I do not wish to interfere too much with, and besides, it's between you guys. Also, I've been out of the business arena for many years, so I don't really care much about these things. I have one principle, which is 'Born from the same root, why torment each other too urgently?' If you really want to compete, then compete openly and honorably, without resorting to underhanded tactics."

"Sixth Master, don't worry, I won't do that."

"If you say you won't, but you seem to have already done so. Let's not talk about that for now, you two discuss and resolve the matter of that channel afterwards. I just have one thing to say, if you use dirty tricks against him, I definitely won't let him off easily."

"Sixth Master, that being said, I now do have something important to report to you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

At this, Sixth Master turned and looked at Guo Tao, wondering what else Guo Tao wanted to say.

Guo Tao did not speak, having been ready for a long time.

And thereafter, he took out a small sealed bag from his carry bag, and of course, that specially made box.
