Chapter 406: It’s Time to Perform Real Acting Skills!
A person’s perception could be easily seen from how said person handled a matter.
Often, a person’s perception could determine the scale of his stall and how big he could manage. It was often said that ‘those with a wider perception must have the elegance of tolerance’.
If Listen had a wide perception, he would accept Fei Qianqiong.
Although Lin Yuan’s current attitude toward Listen would not change regardless of whether he let Fei Qianqiong live or die, the wider Listen’s perception was. Thus, the more Lin Yuan would be willing to put the resources to him for operation. He would even let Listen have comprehensive management of Sky City’s external resources.
When Fei Qianqiong heard Lin Yuan’s words, an abnormal fear crept up in his heart, and his body trembled. He had always felt that he was a king-class expert, after all.
As long as he was willing to swear allegiance with the Willpower Rune, it would not be a problem to exchange his strength for his life. However, this masked youth had casually thrown his life Listen.
The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had caused the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to end up like this. If he were Listen, how would he give him a chance to live?
Listen didn’t expect that Lin Yuan would throw Fei Qianqiong’s life to him. He knew the ways of the world and could understand that Lin Yuan didn’t accept Fei Qianqiong’s allegiance because he was concerned about his feelings.
Otherwise, a king-class expert volunteering to become a servant was akin to offering all of himself.
Such a benefit was right in front of him, yet Lin Yuan didn’t accept it.
Listen had previously sworn by the Willpower Rune to rely on Lin Yuan mainly because of finding a way out for himself and the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. But now, Listen had a deep sense of belonging to Lin Yuan.
Listen narrowed his eyes at Fei Qianqiong, but before Fei Qianqiong could fall in despair, Listen turned to Lin Yuan and answered firmly, “I’m willing to take Fei Qianqiong. He’s more valuable alive than dead!”
Lin Yuan was a bit amazed at how quickly Listen had chosen. This showed that Listen was not vindictive and that he treated Fei Qianqiong as a valuable piece of standard weight. Such a perception couldn’t be considered narrow.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, “This way, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce will have a king-class expert stationed from today onward.”
Fei Qianqiong, who was on the ground and still in a state of despair, only felt that his emotions were changing too quickly, and his brain couldn’t take it.
Listen glanced at Fei Qianqiong and said word by word, “In the future, if you can contribute to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, I won’t treat you poorly because of what you’ve done before.”
Listen’s words had made Fei Qianqiong, whose mind was in turmoil, immediately feel that he had become much closer to Listen.
After Fei Qianqiong used the Willpower Rune to swear allegiance as Listen’s servant, he officially became Listen’s servant and also the first real combat-class king-class expert in Lin Yuan’s faction.
Lin Yuan got up from the sofa and said, “You decide whether you’ll keep Fei Qianqiong at the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce or use him as a mole and let him return to the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.”
After saying that, Lin Yuan took out a tentacle of the Ethereal Jellyfish and set up a spatial node in the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Then he left with the Mother of Bloodbath.
Listen thought about his future plans with his mind racing. He was now calculating that the 270 objects made of completely jade-textured wood powder that Lin Yuan would be giving him every day were equivalent to a capital injection of 2,700,000 Radiance dollars. So for three months, it would be a total of 243,000,000 Radiance dollars.
Fei Qianqiong stood respectfully beside Listen as a feeling of absurdity rose in his heart. I can’t believe that my life has changed in just an hour, and I even came back from the gates of hell.
Fei Qianqiong stood beside Listen but did not know what Listen was thinking currently—how to rely on this mole and a capital injection of 243,000,000 to devour the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce within three months?
...
“Big Brother, why isn’t Elder Fei back at this time? This old man actually let us wait for him here!”
The older middle-aged man, Bi Chenghu, had an ugly expression on his face and said while expecting better from him, “Will you starve to death if you eat dinner a little later? When will you mend this problem of implicating someone? When you have nothing to do, think about what you should say and what you should not.”
The full-bearded middle-aged man, Bi Chengxiong, subconsciously raised the wine glass in his hands and replied, “Big Brother, I was wrong. Cheers.”
Bi Chenghu’s face suddenly turned red, and he couldn’t help but rub his temples. He felt the fire in his heart surging up, making his head a little swollen.
At that moment, Bi Chengxiong saw Fei Qianqiong walk in and shouted at the top of his voice, “Elder Fei, why did you take so long to take care of such a small matter!?”
Fei Qianqiong could not stand Bi Chengxiong’s words.
What do you mean by such a small matter!?
F*ck! It was such a small matter that almost cost my life!
Bi Chengxiong stood up, fiercely glared at Bi Chengxiong, and went forward to say, “Elder Fei, thank you for your hard work. Try the Dragon Tiger Blood Tendon Wine I specially prepared.”
Bi Chenghu enthusiastically pulled Fei Qianqiong to take his seat, and Bi Chengxiong was eating a meal with a big fuss.
When Fei Qianqiong was eating, he seemed to be talking to Bi Chenghu as usual, but he had complicated feelings.
The last time he had been eating with them, he was still the third-highest ranking person in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce. Surprisingly, he had now become the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s mole.
Fei Qianqiong had sworn with the Willpower Rune and become Listen’s servant, so he had no other choice. As long as he broke the oath, he would die.
At the same time, Fei Qianqiong had to let nobody in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce see through his flaws.
His biggest flaw now was the Blood-Toothed Cricket’s demotion from a Fantasy Breed. Bi Chengxiong might not think much about it if he found out, but if Bi Chenghu, a sly old fox, found out, he would definitely be wary. Then it wouldn’t be easy to do certain things as a mole.
If he was exposed, not only would Bi Chenghu and Bi Chengxiong not let him off, but the Zheng family’s Young Master Zheng would also take action to put him to death.
Fei Qianqiong felt bitter at this moment. But likewise, he also knew that it was time to perform his real acting skills!
Fei Qianqiong recalled the task that Listen had given him, so he said to Bi Chenghu while drinking wine, “Chenghu, we’ve too many online and offline resources in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce that don’t make much money. Why don’t we sell off some of them and instead tread on the path of luxury objects? That way, there’ll be profit!”
