Chapter 720: Chapter 723: Ranking Conference?

"Hmph, Second Master Long, are you truly pledging your allegiance to me?"

Hearing Long Zhenyun’s words, Qin Tian sneered coldly.

"Truly, truly, even the Ye Family was effortlessly driven out of Beijing by you. My Long Family’s martial arts aren’t nearly comparable to the Ye Family’s, I dare not clash with you. Just spare me this once, and I will heed your commands from now on!"

Long Zhenyun knelt before Qin Tian, nodding repeatedly.

"Fine, since that’s the case, stand up."

Qin Tian didn’t say much more. After Long Zhenyun stood up, he spoke again in a quiet tone, "Second Master Long, you say you pledge allegiance to me with your words, but shouldn’t there be some action to show for it?"

"Hm?"

"Hehe, don’t tell me there’s no joining fee?" Qin Tian sneered, "I’ll let you off, but shouldn’t your life demonstrate some value?"

Qin Tian’s words were clear. Under the current situation, killing Long Zhenyun would surely cause a huge uproar among the nobility in Beijing, which was unnecessary.

Since Long Zhenyun wanted to pledge allegiance, Qin Tian might as well take the opportunity to collect some protection money—not excessive at all.

"I understand, I understand. President Qin, rest assured, if you spare me this time, I will certainly repay you. How about this—I’ll give you 5 million as a token of my thanks, what do you say?"

Long Zhenyun’s intelligence was indeed not low, he promptly suggested.

"Do you think I’m a beggar? Do you know how much the Ye Family gave?"

"Hiss..."

Hearing this, Long Zhenyun instantly inhaled a breath of cold air. He obtained information through Ye Jun and knew that, after their defeat, the Ye Family gave Qin Tian one billion! Not to mention that extremely valuable mansion of the Ye Family estate.

"Alright... alright, then, I’ll also give one billion, one billion, what do you think?"

Long Zhenyun wiped his forehead, thinking to himself, this Qin Tian really has a ruthless heart!

Caught in your hands today, consider yourself ruthless!

Just you wait!

"One billion, I’ll wire it to you tomorrow, how about that?" Long Zhenyun carefully looked at Qin Tian, afraid that Qin Tian would raise the price again.

The Long Family was engaged in the chain hotel and shopping mall business in Huaxia; in terms of wealth, they were not much less well-off than the Ye Family. It was only that the Long Family did not have anyone particularly outstanding in martial arts, hence, they couldn’t throw their weight around among the nobles in Beijing.

"Swallow this pill, and after you transfer the money tomorrow, I’ll give you the antidote."

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, took out a black pill from his body and handed it to Long Zhenyun.

Long Zhenyun was trembling with fear, but he had no choice. If he didn’t listen to Qin Tian, he was going to die right now!

Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes tightly and swallowed the black pill.

When he opened his eyes in agony, Qin Tian’s figure was already gone, only a piece of paper left on the desk beside him, with Qin Tian’s bank details written on it.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the white piece of paper left by Qin Tian, Long Zhenyun trembled with rage, his face turning red as he screamed.

Unlike the furious Long Zhenyun, Qin Tian, who had just left the Long family villa, seemed completely at ease.

One could tell at a glance that Long Zhenyun was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. With his family’s assets worth several tens of billions, Qin Tian didn’t expect him to not pay the one billion "joining fee."

Of course, Qin Tian naturally didn’t put any trust in what Long Zhenyun claimed about allegiance and service.

For now, he would not expose him; if the Long Family were to act up in the future, Qin Tian would deal them another heavy blow.

On the drive back home, Qin Tian first received a call from Liu Fei’er saying that "The Story of the Revered Consort in the Imperial Harem" she was filming had just wrapped up. However, she couldn’t return to Beijing yet because she had a new film starting, and the director was none other than Zhang Yimou.

"Brother Tian, thank you. My biggest dream in life was to gain fame and then one day work with Director Zhang Yimou to create a great movie. I never imagined that just after setting foot in the entertainment industry for a year, I would get the chance to cooperate with him... Thank you, Brother Tian!"

Liu Fei’er was very excited on the phone. She had heard about Qin’s Entertainment signing Zhang Yimou and several other superstars while she was out shooting.

At that time, she didn’t believe it and called Qin Tian to verify it.

But now, happiness had come so suddenly; within about a month, she had actually received a personal invitation from Director Zhang Yimou to star as the female lead in a movie invested in with three billion by Qin’s Entertainment!

It was like a dream come true.

The moment she received a call from Zhang Yimou himself, Liu Fei’er burst into tears.

After finishing her talk with Zhang Yimou, Liu Fei’er immediately called Qin Tian.

Of course, she knew that without Qin Tian, the renowned domestic Director Zhang Yimou would never personally call a newcomer like her to offer the lead female role!

"Sob sob... Brother Tian, I really don’t know how to repay you for your kindness to Fei’er..."

Caught up in her emotions, Liu Fei’er started to sob.

"Silly girl, it’s your own strength that got you this. Otherwise, you’ve probably heard about Zhang Yimou’s character—if he didn’t think you were up to it, no matter how much I said, he wouldn’t agree. Do you understand?"

Qin Tian said while driving, "Besides, Fei’er, you’re my person. If I don’t support you, who will? Don’t forget about the bet you made with that rich heiress from your class, plus the title of Best Actress, huh?"

"Zhang Yunzi."

"Right, that Zhang Yunzi. I heard she joined what claims to be Huaxia’s number one entertainment company, Dream of Huaxia, and has been in the limelight recently. Fei’er, you need to work hard now; don’t lose the bet."

"Mm, Fei’er will definitely work hard. Thank you, Brother Tian, I love you, beep beep beep..."

Liu Fei’er said quickly and hung up the phone.

Qin Tian was taken aback by the last three words. That girl, when did she learn to take the initiative to confess like that? And so shy too...

Thinking of Liu Fei’er’s charmingly innocent face, Qin Tian was laughing softly when another call came in.

It was Zhou Yang.

"Old Zhou, what’s up, missing me?" Qin Tian answered the phone.

"Really miss you, boss. Come back."

"You’ve got Jin Xing and you miss me? I don’t believe it."

"Seriously, boss, I need you to come back and take charge."

"Take charge? What’s up, you’re not going to tell me you’re getting married, are you?"

"Married... that’s still a bit early, at least until Mu Yunxi agrees. Ah, that demon woman, she’s got me at my wits’ end... But let’s not talk about that. Let’s get down to business. Boss, the Asian Mercenary Association has invited us to send a team to the Mercenary Ranking Conference held on Jungle Island in Southeast Asia. Should we go?"

"What? Ranking Conference? What kind of ghost is that..."

Upon hearing Zhou Yang’s words, Qin Tian expressed his speechlessness, "A Ranking Conference, huh? Why not make it a ranking match, with gold, silver, bronze ranks... playing LoL, right? These guys, they sure know how to have fun."

"It’s actually just like that. Nowadays, the World Mercenary Association is doing rankings, and Asia has started registering too. Every member mercenary team can participate, with rankings from one-star to three-star. A three-star ranked mercenary team will enjoy higher treatment and more influence within the association."
