Chapter 606: Grandmaster, Cai Sanqiang!

Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Grandmaster, Cai Sanqiang!

Zheng Nianyao nodded, "If Master Cai truly hails from the True Martial Sect and is indeed a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster, then indeed, it is still acceptable!"

Zhao Boqian and Wong Jiasen all expressed their agreement.

Only Cui Ruyun was somewhat worried as she said, "Ninth Elder Sister, although Master Cai has some skills, after all, he works for money."

"This duel by fire is of great importance to our Huai City; entrusting such a significant matter to someone we’re not very familiar with is somewhat too risky..."

Cui Fengjiu sighed, "I know it’s indeed a bit risky, but right now, we don’t have any better options."

"Today’s rules for the duel by fire state that the real contest time is between twelve and one o’clock. The moment one o’clock hits, whichever side’s person can still stand on the platform will be the final winner."

"For the moment, all we can do is to have Master Cai take the lead, while we still try our best to contact Mr. Chen, hoping he can make it in time!"

Cui Ruyun sighed, indicating that there was no other way.

Now, with less than ten minutes to twelve o’clock, Cui Fengjiu didn’t dare delay and immediately dialed Grandmaster Cai Sanqiang’s number, putting the call on speakerphone.

The phone was quickly answered, and a lazy voice came through, "Hello, Ninth Elder Sister, is it? What’s the matter?"

Cui Fengjiu wore a forced smile, "Well, it’s like this, Master Cai, are you free right now? About the duel by fire we talked about before, we might still need you to keep participating."

"Don’t worry, it will still be at the previously agreed price, not a penny less!"

Cai Sanqiang had an unhurried tone, "The duel by fire, huh? Well, I’m currently getting a foot massage, no time."

Cui Fengjiu cursed under her breath - this guy was clearly just putting on airs with her!

When Cui Fengjiu had interacted with this Cai Sanqiang before, she had already found him to be a petty and extremely greedy person, tough to deal with; that was part of why she ultimately rejected Cai Sanqiang’s help and turned to Chen Xuan for assistance.

Yet, even so, Cui Fengjiu had never treated Master Cai poorly from the beginning to the end.

Over the past days, not only had she ensured Cai Sanqiang stayed in a five-star hotel, well-catered to, but after he was not needed to make a move, she also specially gave him a red envelope containing ten million as transportation expenses.

One could say Cui Fengjiu had been nothing but generous and fair to Master Cai.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t seem grateful in the slightest and maintained an arrogant attitude.

But now, with Cui Fengjiu being at his mercy, she had to keep her temper and continued, "Master Cai, we really need you to make a move on our behalf, please take some time out of your valuable schedule to help us this time!"

This sort of flattering was very much to the liking of Cai Sanqiang; in fact, he had been waiting for such words.

"Since Ninth Elder Sister has asked, I’ll reluctantly find the time to make a move just this once."

Cui Fengjiu felt a surge of relief upon hearing this; however, before she could be pleased, she heard Cai Sanqiang add, "Only, the previously stated appearance fee of three hundred million is no longer enough..."

Cui Fengjiu’s complexion instantly soured.

This Cai Sanqiang was blatantly guessing that they were in dire need and trying to take this opportunity to hike up his price!

This guy really had fallen headfirst into a pile of money!

Cui Fengjiu swallowed a torrent of insults, but with no other choice at hand, she asked with feigned patience, "May I ask, Master Cai, what do you think is a suitable amount?"

"Well..." Master Cai smacked his lips, saying somewhat reluctantly, "Let’s settle for ten billion then!"

Pfft...

Upon hearing this amount, Cui Fengjiu was so infuriated she nearly spat blood, feeling an urge to curse this Cai out loud and hang up the phone right then and there.

An appearance fee of one billion?

Why the hell don’t you just go rob a bank?!

Even Shuangzi’s appearance fee isn’t as high as yours!

However, Cui Fengjiu could only curse this to herself in her mind, she now desperately needed Cai Sanqiang to take action, no matter how high the price he quoted, she had no choice but to agree.

Because she had no other options!

Eventually, Cui Fengjiu had to relent and said, "Fine, I agree to your price, one billion!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Sanqiang was overjoyed.

He was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but in recent years he had not been doing very well.

He earned quite a bit of money, but lost it all at the gambling tables, and because he had made a major mistake once before when providing personal protection for a wealthy man from the South, he encountered a rather professional team of assassins.

At that time, Cai Sanqiang didn’t want to risk fighting those assassins, so he left the rich man behind and ran away by himself, which led to the wealthy man being killed at the hands of those assassins.

This incident had already been widely talked about in the circles of the South.

Because of this, Cai Sanqiang’s reputation had already been thoroughly tarnished in those circles, and no one was hiring him for jobs like securing estates or acting as a bodyguard anymore.

Having no choice, Cai Sanqiang had to open a martial arts school and became the so-called head of a sect.

Running a martial arts school could make money, but it was naturally not comparable to working for the wealthy.

But as they say, when one door closes, another opens; by a stroke of luck, Cai Sanqiang accidentally established a connection with Cui Fengjiu.

And, Cai Sanqiang even had someone create a perfect persona for him to gain Cui Fengjiu’s trust.

However, it cannot exactly be called deception, as Cai Sanqiang truly was a disciple of the True Martial Sect’s Flying Tiger Sect, and his martial arts abilities were indeed very strong.

It’s just that he deliberately hid from Cui Fengjiu the fact that he had once abandoned his employer.

Of course, in Cai Sanqiang’s view, that incident was an accident.

After that incident, he had realized that for a Grandmaster, reputation was most important.

If one’s reputation is ruined, then even with enormous abilities, it would be hard to make any money.

Therefore, this time Cai Sanqiang had no intention of standing Cui Fengjiu up, but was determined to fight with all his might.

After all, in Cai Sanqiang’s perspective, just how formidable could challengers from a minor city’s underground conflicts be?

After hanging up the phone, Cai Sanqiang immediately took several of his disciples and drove to the sports stadium.

A few minutes later, Cai Sanqiang arrived at the scene.

"Master Cai, you’re here!" Cui Fengjiu hurried forward to meet him with her people.

"Hmm!" Cai Sanqiang nodded nonchalantly, oozing arrogance.

Cai Sanqiang glanced over at the martial artists preparing to enter the ring, his gaze revealing a hint of contempt.

"These are my opponents? For these little fish and shrimps, you need me to make a move?"

Cai Sanqiang shook his head, exuding the demeanor of a grandmaster, clearly not taking the experts brought in by Tang Dao Lei Wanlong and the others seriously at all.
