It seemed that next, he had to figure out a way to quickly cultivate his Battle Skill, otherwise he would have to wear this armor every single day until he succeeded, and if it took too long, even his dad and mom might notice. Lately, his parents had been busy, but they would still call him from time to time. If they decided to video call one day, they would see it, which was really damn annoying. What he’d initially thought was way too simple, focusing only on how to become stronger. “It’s time for a meal, let’s eat first,” Zhao Guang had no mood to cook for himself. Besides, he had been eating dry food for the past few days, and the smell from outside was making it difficult to resist, so he might as well treat himself to a good meal. However, he had to take it back to eat, eating out in this armor would just be too awkward. It would be awkward for others and even more awkward for him being watched. However, when Zhao Guang went out to buy the food, the looks he received from the people around were still very strange. There was no helping it, this place after all was not a very developed area, not even part of the city district. If it were a more developed area, seeing him in this armor might still attract some weird looks. Zhao Guang smacked his head and then, holding his takeout, started heading back. But just as he walked out of the restaurant, someone appeared in front of him, blocking his way. “Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?” Zhao Guang gazed at this person who seemed both familiar and ridiculous, someone he seemed to have seen somewhere before, and he racked his brains trying to remember. “Mr. Zhao, long time no see. You really forget about the high and mighty, I am Manager Wang Qishan from Golden Mansion.” Golden Mansion? Zhao Guang remembered, it was the place he’d gone to the first time he dealt with Gold Coins. “Oh, it’s Manager Wang, I apologize, I’ve had a lot on my plate recently. Is there something that you are blocking my way for, Manager Wang?” Zhao Guang could sense that this guy seemed to be a little hostile. Wang Qishan was also a bit dumbfounded. He had come with an aggressive stance, but now he was somewhat speechless. Was this armored person obscuring his face really the one who made a fortune? Where did such a disagreeable person get so much Gold from? It was baffling how one could procure that amount of Gold. He had been looking for this guy for several days now, and only today did he manage to track him down by following the Da Manjin delivery van. Deploying so many people at this time definitely indicated some issues. Had it not been for multiple confirmations, Wang Qishan would have doubted he had tracked down the right person, but now there was no mistake. “Mr. Zhao, that’s not quite proper of you.” “Not proper? What do you mean by that?” Zhao Guang wasn’t sure what this guy was getting at. “You had already started cooperating with us, so why did you go and cooperate with Da Manjin? If you had any conditions, you could have stated them, but going behind our backs to work with them—do you think we’re pushovers?” A glint of sharpness flashed in Zhao Guang’s eyes; so it was about this matter. But then again, if it wasn’t about this, what else could it be? “I don’t recall ever saying something about exclusively cooperating with you. Is Golden Mansion always so domineering toward its business partners?” Zhao Guang was not at all intimidated by this guy. Although he hadn’t looked into Golden Mansion, after all, it was only one of its managers—what could he possibly do? At the end of the day, he was a shareholder in Da Manjin, the boss, not on the same level. “That’s not quite right to say, you came to us first. We would have let it slide had we not made the purchase, but since we did, it’s a different story. There has to be some order in these matters, doesn’t there? You didn’t even give us a heads up; that’s seriously disrespectful.” Wow, where did such flawed logic come from? “Respect? What respect do I owe you, and what respect do you deserve? I remember when I first came to sell things, you undercut me quite a bit, and the purity of the Gold even got falsified.” Isn’t that the industry norm? He didn’t believe Da Manjin would act differently. “Which company doesn’t do the same? If you don’t know that and lose out, it’s none of our business.” “So you mean to say, only you can make money, but I can’t. And I can only do profitable business with you, do you have such a big face? Tell me who your backer is.” “I don’t have any backer, why would I have a backer?” Wang Qishan immediately denied it, but who would believe such a thing? Someone in the jewelry business without a backer, who was he kidding? Without a backer, you’d have been cleaned out in this line of work long ago. Even Da Manjin surely had someone behind it, but Zhao Guang simply didn’t care to inquire. “Alright, if you’re here just for this, then I can tell you clearly: You were insincere from the start, and I can’t possibly work with you again.” “You’d better think carefully. Da Manjin is just a newcomer; we are the established leaders in the industry.” “No matter what you say, you have no credibility with me, now get out of my way.” “You should think it over, if you let me go, you’re going to regret it.” Was this a threat? Zhao Guang was the kind of person who didn’t respond well to pressure, the more you threatened him, the less likely he was to have a cordial conversation, “I’ll wait for that regret, then.” Zhao Guang went straight forward, the clanking noise of his Armor as he moved exerted a substantial intimidating pressure. Watching Zhao Guang so boldly advancing, Wang Qishan kept backing away, until eventually, he awkwardly made way. Glaring at Zhao Guang’s retreating figure, Wang Qishan’s expression soured. “Very well, you brought this on yourself.” Wang Qishan turned and left, heading for his car, and a person nearby hurried over to him. “Brother Wang, what happened? That kid doesn’t know what’s good for him?” Wang Qishan lit a cigarette in anger, took a deep drag, his face stiffening. “That kid won’t listen to reason, teach him a lesson, and remember not to expose us.” “Don’t worry, I know this kind of work, we definitely won’t be exposed.” He had done this sort of thing more than once or twice, chasing many who didn’t comply out of Zhou City. For the sake of Golden Mansion, he had made significant contributions. If it weren’t for his actions early on, Golden Mansion wouldn’t have grown to this size. “Things are different now; be careful not to give anyone a handle on us. If this gets out, none of us will get off easily.” “Don’t worry, Brother Wang, we won’t let anyone catch even a shred of evidence.” “Good, I trust you to handle things. Let’s go, head back.” Wang Qishan called out, and the person by his side quickly agreed and drove off. Wang Qishan cast one more glance toward Zhao Guang’s place, his eyes flashing with sinister intent. “Just wait, there’ll come a time when you’ll beg me,” Wang Qishan thought greedily about Zhao Guang.
