Chapter 1597: Chapter 1598: The Secret Hidden Within the 9 Volumes

“You don’t understand, he is someone we can’t afford to provoke. In the Capital City, he crippled the Imperial Clan Leader, Huang En, yet he remains unharmed.

Just based on this, we can’t afford to mess with him.”

Gao Jin said with a bitter smile, “With his power alone, he could wipe out our entire Gao Family.”

“Dad, we have to find a way to make amends, at the very least we can’t make him hold a grudge against us.”

Gao Yu panicked.

The Imperial Clan Leader, a figure high above, was obliterated by Xiao Chen. This person is truly terrifying.

“Right, isn’t our family hosting an auction? Have someone bring over the auction catalog for Mr. Xiao to see.

If he likes anything, just give it to him, spend money to avoid disaster.”

Gao Jin said.

“I’ll get on it right away.”

Gao Yu hurried off.

In the private room, Liu Xin once again became the center of attention.

This feeling, she had never experienced before.

Even marrying into the Jiang Family in Linhai, she was deemed unworthy.

Later, as a widow and orphan, they were bullied by others.

Now, all the grievances seemed to have dissipated.

Having a son-in-law like Xiao Chen, she was content.

“Xiao Chen, offer a toast to all the uncles and aunts!”

Liu Xin said with a smile, “Today, mom is happy.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Rong and others’ faces changed greatly.

Who dared drink Xiao Chen’s toast?

Who could afford it?

Though Xiao Chen was not very old, he was truly a big shot, even those prominent figures in the Western Territory feared him.

“Yes, mom!”

Xiao Chen smiled, raised his glass, and said, “This one, I’ll drink first as a gesture of respect, help yourself. I know you’re nervous, but there’s no need.

As long as you treat my mom well, I will naturally take care of you all.”

…

After several rounds of drinks, Gao Yu returned.

Holding a tablet, he respectfully said to Xiao Chen, “Mr. Xiao, our family plans to host an auction mainly for treasures and some herbs.

If you like anything, please choose a few. Consider it my Gao Family’s apology.”

“That’s fine.”

Xiao Chen did not refuse, because another purpose of his visit to Lincheng City was to attend the auction. He didn’t expect it would be hosted by Gao family, which made things easier.

“There it is!”

Xiao Chen was excited, as he obtained the most critical ingredient for the antidote.

However, he didn’t select that herb alone but chose three items.

To avoid anyone noticing his intentions.

“Three items, isn’t that too many?”

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

“No, no, not at all!”

Gao Yu was delighted, not worried at all.

Since Xiao Chen accepted the gifts, it meant he truly forgave them, giving him complete relief.

After receiving the gifts, everyone continued to drink and eat.

It lasted until the evening.

Only then did everyone reluctantly leave.

“Liu Xin, visit me when you have time, I’m currently residing in Harbor City.”

“I’ve settled in Australia, came back for some matters this time. If you ever visit Australia, make sure to give me a call, I’ll definitely host you warmly.”

“Liu Xin, you and I are good desk buddies. If I visit Longcheng, you mustn’t shut me out.”

Everyone bid farewell to Liu Xin before leaving.

Liu Xin nodded in gratitude.

The whole reunion seemed to turn into her personal party.

The most disappointed was probably Cheng Rong.

Cheng Rong originally wanted the party to revolve around her, but instead, it favored Liu Xin.

However, at this moment, she truly didn’t dare get angry.

Because she didn’t have the right to.

Not only can she not offend Liu Xin now, but she has to support her.

“Liu Xin, thank you for not holding a grudge, thank you, really, thank you so much!”

Cheng Rong repeatedly thanked before leaving.

“She’s actually a pitiable person too; her husband’s business failed, went bankrupt, and committed suicide. She suddenly fell from a queen to a commoner, couldn’t bear that kind of life, so she married her daughter to Gao Yu.

Sigh, truly, the pitiful must have detestable aspects.”

Liu Xin sighed; forgiving Cheng Rong didn’t mean she accepted Cheng Rong’s actions.

“Mom, it’s late, you should go rest. Tomorrow I’ll arrange for some people to take you around the unique scenery of this Great Northwest.”

Xiao Chen no longer wished to bother with Cheng Rong’s petty matters.

He had more important things to do.

“Alright, son, you go ahead.”

Liu Xin nodded and returned to the hotel room.

Xiao Chen then went to another private room.

No one dared to leave.

Xiao Chen didn’t allow them to leave, so they didn’t dare go.

“I’ll just say one thing, in the Western Territory, no illegal mine owners can exist anymore, workers there must not be bullied and enslaved.”

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned and left.

The Luo Family doesn’t require his personal involvement, having Liu Haiying, Li Zui, and Lone Wolf is enough.

“Ghost Blade, you go help out too.”

Xiao Chen thought and said.

“But Boss, your health.”

Ghost Blade was a bit worried.

“I’m fine, isn’t Tiangang still by my side?

Go, help Liu Haiying settle the Luo Family. I want everyone to know, in terms of advocating for workers’ welfare, the Xiao Family is serious!”

Xiao Chen said.

“Alright then!”

Ghost Blade nodded and went to find Liu Haiying.

Currently, Xiao Chen was entirely focused on healing.

He couldn’t die and couldn’t let his wife become a widow or his future children fatherless.

Just then, the phone rang.

It was Uncle Zhong calling.

“Is there news regarding the medicine?”

Xiao Chen asked.

“Yes, the other medicinal herb mentioned by Master appeared on Taiwan Island. Also, we’ve recently noticed the Hades Association has been very active.

They’re not only active domestically but have even collaborated with Hydra abroad.

This Hades Association is more terrifying than imagined.

Their ultimate goal is to search for the Nine Scrolls of Mo Sect, but it’s definitely not just for the martial arts techniques in them.

Apparently, there is a huge secret hidden in the nine scrolls.

I found a legend: whoever obtains the Nine Scrolls of Mo Sect will be able to fulfill their wish.”

Uncle Zhong said on the other end of the call.

“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, we can’t let the Hades Association get the nine scrolls, but if we continue to follow them, we certainly won’t be as fast.

The Hades Association has searched for over twenty years, so they must have some clues.

We have to take the initiative to attack!”

Xiao Chen said.

“Is Master finally going to start that plan?”

Uncle Zhong asked excitedly.

“Yes, start it. You go and arrange it, I want to use the opportunity of finding medicine to draw the King of Hades into my game, to take away his control!”

A cold gleam flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

No matter if the plan succeeded or not, it was worth trying.

Transforming passiveness into initiative was his way to outwit others.

Because he was worried about Jiang Meng, Xiao Chen only stayed in the Western Territory for a day before he and Liu Xin returned to Longcheng.

By the time they returned to Longcheng, actions had already begun in the Western Territory.

The Yanzi Sect cooperated with the Stone God Family, and within just a day, they dismantled all the combat power of the Luo Family.

Luo Chengdong and Luo Chengxi fled overnight to a more western area, but the Stone God Family and Yanzi Sect did not chase them.

As long as the Luo Family was cleared, it was sufficient, as the Western Territory would not allow anyone to continue exploiting the miners, and that was enough.
