CHAPTER 866: CHAPTER 866

Zhu Liang just couldn’t figure it out. Why would the Qingshan Association proactively offer to help him, demanding only such a return? What was their real intention?

If they wanted him to arrange for someone to become the top leader of Zhongzhou City, it must be to leverage the Zhu Family’s influence to control the city and plan some special activities there.

Interest must be the Qingshan Association’s motivation.

In other words, the Qingshan Association was eyeing some benefits in Zhongzhou City.

Could there be a gold mine in Zhongzhou City?

Zhu Liang said, "I ask you, your Qingshan Association wants to plant a stake in Zhongzhou City, so obviously, you’re scheming something. What is it there that makes you willing to go to such lengths? It’s not impossible for me to help you, but you need to make things clear!"

"It’s understandable that Young Master Zhu wants to know. We’ve considered this too, and since it is a cooperation, honesty is required. Some things can be told to you. There is something special in Zhongzhou City, incredibly magical, and we’ve always wanted to get it."

"As for what it is, here it is. Take a look."

The woman took out a small glass test tube and waved it in front of Zhu Liang.

Zhu Liang stared with wide eyes, seeing the test tube in the woman’s hand was ten centimeters long, the mouth sealed with a stopper, and it contained a milky white liquid that he couldn’t identify.

However he looked at it, it seemed like milk, but he was certain it was not.

Zhu Liang curiously asked, "What is this, and what is so amazing about it that your Qingshan Association would go to such lengths to obtain it? It can’t be some immortal elixir that grants immortality, can it?"

The woman said, "Young Master Zhu, you’ve guessed right. This is an immortal elixir, an absolute immortal elixir, a supreme treasure. Don’t be fooled by its small size; it can achieve things beyond your wildest dreams!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Liang’s lips twitched twice.

Damn, he thought, he just blurted it out, and she actually went along with it, claiming it was an immortal elixir. How utterly ridiculous.

In this modern age, one must believe in science. Zhu Liang didn’t trust those so-called mystical things.

Just a drop of liquid, calling it an immortal elixir—he didn’t believe it, not one bit!

The woman said, "I know you won’t believe it, Young Master Zhu, but I’m confident you’ll believe it soon, and you might even fall in love with it. Come, let me show you how miraculous its effects are. I guarantee you’ll remember it for a lifetime!"

Suddenly, the woman grabbed Zhu Liang’s throat, forcing him to open his mouth and watch helplessly as the drop of liquid was poured into his mouth.

She then patted Zhu Liang’s back, making him swallow the stuff down with a gulp.

Forcing someone else to eat something—Zhu Liang used to do this kind of thing often, especially liked to be hard on beautiful women, enjoying their humiliated, vomiting looks.

He didn’t expect to be treated so forcefully himself today; it felt even worse than swallowing a fly, wanting to retch but unable to.

Clutching his throat with one hand, Zhu Liang pointed at the woman with the other, "You wretched woman, what did you make me eat? Was it poison? I’m telling you, no matter what, I’m still the Young Master Zhu. If you intend to poison me, our Zhu Family will never let you go and will definitely fight you to the death! Just you wait, our Zhu Family is going to eradicate you and the Qingshan Association behind you!"

Zhu Liang didn’t want to die at all, truly didn’t. Even if his position as the family’s heir was taken away, he was still the Young Master Zhu, and he had many carefree days ahead, dreaming of playing with countless beauties. He had no desire to die.

This vile woman said she wanted to cooperate, yet she fed him poison. So ruthless, so damn ruthless!

Damn it, the poison seemed to be taking effect, and Zhu Liang felt heat surging through his body, especially in his broken legs, which felt unbearably hot.

It wasn’t just hot, but also itchy, unbearably so.

"Ah, my legs hurt so much, they’re hot, itchy, and extremely painful! You vile woman, what poison did you give me, how can it be so unbearable? Oh, Mother, my dear Mother, it hurts, it hurts so much..."

Zhu Liang cried and wailed, tears and snot streaming down as he was terrified.

Damn it, he, the proud Young Master Zhu, was actually going to be poisoned to death. He truly wasn’t willing!

The woman said mockingly, "Alright, it’s not poison, but an immortal elixir that you’ll find unbelievably miraculous. You’ll soon know just how magical it is. In a moment, you’ll be so happy you won’t believe it’s true!"

Zhu Liang didn’t believe a word of the woman’s nonsense; he refused to. At this life-or-death moment, he couldn’t care less about his leg not being healed yet; he quickly scrambled off the bed, trying to crawl away.

Clumsily crawling onto the ground, he crawled forward like a dog, trying to run away, but felt something amiss; his leg soon felt fine, no longer hot, itchy, or painful.

His previously broken leg hadn’t fully healed and had always been aching dimly, but now, miraculously, it had no discomfort at all.

Not only was his leg fine, but his whole body felt great, filled with a sense of power.

The sensation was as if he’d been given a shot of adrenaline, utterly miraculous.

Zhu Liang tried standing up, and to his surprise, he really could stand.

Not only did he stand up, but he felt no discomfort at all. He subconsciously jumped twice, feeling vigorous.

Kicking, punching, twisting his waist, and bouncing a few times, his body was exceptionally flexible.

"Haha, ahaha, amazing, truly amazing. My leg actually healed, just like that!"

"They say a bone-fractured injury takes a hundred days; my leg was broken, and it should take at least half a year to fully heal, yet it only took a short time to recover. It’s truly miraculous. It’s indeed an immortal elixir, simply marvelous. If I’d obtained it earlier, I wouldn’t have had to lie in bed for over a month."

"You’re called Shadow, right? From the Azure Dragon Association, right? Incredible, you and the Azure Dragon Association are so strong. I never imagined you’d have such a treasure, possibly even stronger than the Bai Family!"

Zhu Liang couldn’t be more excited; his broken leg had healed so quickly, truly an immortal elixir.

He had doubted it earlier, but now even if he didn’t want to believe, he had no choice.

Previously, he had only thought the Qingshan Association was a mysterious and ruthless organization, never imagining they’d be so powerful, possessing such treasures.

The woman said, "Now that you know how powerful the Qingshan Association is, will you agree to the terms I offered? The opportunity is right in front of you, whether to cooperate with the Qingshan Association is your decision. Or should I give you some time to think about it?"

"No need to think about it! Your Qingshan Association is so formidable, having you as friends is beneficial for me. I agree to your terms, and I’ll have the family use its influence to arrange for someone to seize the Secretary of the Municipal Committee position in Zhongzhou City. By then, whatever the Qingshan Association wants to do in Zhongzhou City, it will have the green light."

Zhu Liang agreed without hesitation.

Such a powerful force could only aid him, Zhu Liang.

As for what the Qingshan Association wanted to do in Zhongzhou City, he wasn’t interested and didn’t care.
