Extraordinary Ring

Chapter 140: Immortal Tower (first update)

Under Li Huai's order, the puppet guards brought Zhou Ran and his son into the hall to wait for Li Huai's arrival.

Zhou Ran works under the Governor of Commerce. Although he has a reputation of being calm and sophisticated, he is now facing the elders of the Beitang family, so he still feels a little uneasy.

As for Zhou Anyu, he was even worse. He looked around timidly, like a country boy who had never seen the world before!

As a burst of rhythmic footsteps came, Zhou Ran was shocked and quickly pulled his son to stand up from the chair. He stared at the door tightly, with nervousness and worry flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"My subordinates naturally meet the elder!"

As soon as Li Huai entered the hall, he saw an old man and a young man kneeling respectfully in front of him. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. To be honest, he had no hatred for Zhou Anyu because he killed him. The nineteen god kings have refined a lot of soul liquid, and I have to thank him for it.

"Get up!"

Li Huai walked to the chair in the center of the hall in two steps and sat down firmly.

The father and son were still kneeling on the ground and did not get up. "Zhou Ran didn't dare! Sir Elder, the evil son offended you ten days ago. Today, I brought this evil son here just to calm the elder down. As for killing him or cutting him into pieces, It’s all up to the elders, and there will never be any complaints from my subordinates!”

When Zhou Anyu, who was kneeling next to his father, heard that his father actually wanted to hand him over to Li Huai, his face suddenly changed, and his whole body trembled with fear. He usually acted arrogantly and was flattered by others. Damn it. What, it's his father, and who does his father rely on?

He relied on the Governor of Commerce, but now this young man is an elder who is much more powerful than the Governor of Commerce. Therefore, in addition to the endless regret and fear in his heart, he did not dare to have the slightest bit of resentment or dissatisfaction. Of course, he did not know that Li Huai at this time He cannot control the entire Haozhou City!

"Deacon Zhou Ran is serious! It's just a small misunderstanding between Mr. Zhou and I. Let's get over it! Get up quickly!" Li Huai sat down from the chair himself, then walked to the two of them, reaching out to help them up first. He picked up Zhou Ran, and then helped Zhou Anyu up.

"Thank you, elder! There are many scoundrels who are not as good as my subordinates. I am very grateful!" Zhou Ran breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.

As for Zhou Anyu, his face was flushed. Li Huai had just helped him up personally and smiled at him. This made him so excited, "I didn't expect Elder Li to be so magnanimous!"

"It's a trivial matter! Don't worry about it!" Li Huai waved his hand and sat back in the chair, and motioned for Zhou Ran and his son to take their seats. After a while, a puppet guard offered spiritual tea.

Li Huai picked up the tea cup and blew lightly, but did not drink it. He said, "Deacon Zhou is new here, but I don't know anything. I wonder if you can give me some advice!"

Zhou Ran's face changed slightly. He knew that the Governor of Commerce was dissatisfied with the new elder. He came here to beg for mercy because he had no choice but to say anything more, which would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Governor of Commerce, who was his Zhou Ran. Once the family's backer is dissatisfied with him, the Zhou family will lose power.

Seeing the hesitant look on Zhou Ran's face, Li Huai certainly understood what was going on. Zhou Ran's position in Haozhou City was not low, and it was recorded on the list given to him by the family leader!

Now that he has been sent to his door, of course he has to take it for his own use. However, haste makes waste, and pushing too hard will be counterproductive, so he added, "If Deacon Zhou has a problem, don't answer it for now. Go back and think about it first. I, sir." There are still some things to deal with!”

Hearing that Li Huai wanted to see off the guests, Zhou Ran's expression kept changing. Finally, he gritted his teeth, stood up and knelt down towards Li Huai, "Sir, elder, I am willing to serve you!"

Li Huai was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Deacon Zhou, please get up quickly!" Then he came over and helped Zhou Ran up.

After Zhou Ran stood up, his expression became straight: "Elder, when I work under Governor Vatican, my subordinates are mainly responsible for renting tribute from commercial shops. All shops in Haozhou City are divided into upper, middle and lower third-class shops, and the rent prices are different. It is low-level: between 1 million and 10 million, medium: 10 million- -Between 50 million, upper-range: between 50 million and 100 million, but this is just the price set by the family. In fact, the real price is between 50% and twice the original price, and can even be up to five times. Moreover, the rankings set by the shops are set by the Governor, so..."

Hearing Zhou Ran's story, Li Huai's face became darker and darker. Originally he thought he had learned a lot, but now it seems that he knew too little. What Zhou Ran only talked about was about the store's renting tribute. , there are so many problems, so what about others? Are there more questions?

Zhou Ran told it in detail, and even told some of the operating methods. In fact, he was very helpless. In order to gain Li Huai's trust, he had to come up with something useful, otherwise he would not gain the trust of the elders by then. , and being suspected by Brahma Mountain, that is the real gain outweighing the loss.

Li Huai was very satisfied with Zhou Ran's surrender. After listening to the report for half an hour, he wrote it all down. He walked to Zhou Ran and patted his shoulder and said, "Deacon Zhou, don't worry, I won't treat you badly." your!"

As soon as Li Huai turned his palm, nineteen God King's Godhead appeared on his palm. "This is the Godhead of your God King. Take it back!"

The strength of the god king who was promoted to godhood through refining is much weaker than the original god king. Even if their compatibility is very high, the most powerful one can only reach 80% of the god king's godhood.

"Thank you, elder!" Zhou Ran saluted again, knowing in his heart that his bet was right. The elder's return of the God King's Godhead was a signal, and he also needed these God King Godhead. The God King's Godhead was very precious and priceless. City, he spent a lot of money to recruit nineteen god kings, but They were all dead. If he wanted to recruit them again, it wouldn't be possible in a day or two. But Li Huai returned the nineteen godheads to him, so he could find a group of high-ranking gods and let them refine the godheads. In a short period of time, he was able to cultivate a group of god-kings, and these god-kings were completely obedient to his orders!

Then Zhou Ran and his son thanked each other and left. Looking at their backs, Li Huai showed a meaningful smile on his lips.

The Commercial Governor's Mansion is located in a quiet courtyard.

"Qiyuan, what do you think of Li Huai?"

"Governor, according to the observations of my subordinates, although he looks young, his methods are sophisticated. In the first encounter, Long Kexia suffered a slight loss at his hands. Moreover, he had secretly visited Haozhou ten days ago, so , His scheming is very deep and cannot be underestimated!”

Brahma Tianshan nodded, "He has just arrived and has not yet established himself. He does not dare to be an enemy of the three of us yet. Now that he is facing off against Long Kexia, we can add fuel to the flames and wait for the two of them to have a good fight." , When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!"

A look of admiration flashed across Qiyuan's face, "The Governor is right. That Long Kexia is arrogant and arrogant. He suffered a small loss today and will never let it go. I don't know if he will come up with something at the reception banquet tonight." What a moth!”

"Haha, the best you can do! Then we will have a good show!" Fantianshan laughed happily, but under his smile, a sinister look flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Mr. Governor, my subordinates have something to report!" A tall and thin god king came to the yard.

"Come in and talk!" Brahma Tianshan put away his smile.

"More than half an hour ago, Deacon Zhou took his son Zhou Anyu to Li Huai's house, and he just came out now!"

Qiyuan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed. Brahma Tianshan saw his expression in his eyes, waved his hand to signal the God King to retreat, and then asked, "Qiyuan, what did you think of?"

"Governor, ten days ago, Zhou Ran's son, Zhou Anyu, offended a master in a restaurant. Then the master fought and killed nineteen of the Zhou family's god kings. Then the law enforcement team came to encircle and suppress the master, but he took it easy. Leave, and that master is Li Huai!"

Fantianshan's expression also changed. "You mean Zhou Ran will seek refuge with Li Huai?" Then he shook his head again, "He probably won't. My daughter married my son, and I take good care of him!"

A cold look flashed in Qiyuan's eyes: "Mr. Governor, this is happening now and then! In the past, it was impossible for Zhou Ran to seek refuge with others, but now maybe, first of all, his son has offended Li Huai, and Li Huai is nominally an elder, and also He can overpower the Governor, and Li Huai's methods are extraordinary. If he uses his methods even a little bit, I'm afraid Zhou Ran will join him!"

"Bang!"

Brahma Tianshan slapped the table hard and shouted angrily: "Eating everything inside and outside, huh, if he dares to seek refuge with Li Huai, let's see how I deal with him!"

"Lord Governor, please calm down. This is just my speculation. I am not sure that he has taken refuge with Li Huai. Why don't I send someone to investigate secretly first?" Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light and he sneered in his heart. He and Zhou Ran were enemies. Zhou Ran took control of the entire Haozhou Renting tribute from the shops in the city is a piece of fat. He wants to get this piece of fat all the time. Now that he has the opportunity, of course he has to seize it. "Zhou Ran, Zhou Ran, don't blame me, Lao Qi, for being ruthless. , who makes you like to eat alone?”

Shenxian Tower is the largest, most luxurious and magnificent restaurant in Haozhou City. Not only is it beautifully built, but even more rare is that this restaurant has a total of ninety-nine floors. Nine is the supreme, and ninety-nine is the supreme among the supreme. , so those who can go to the 99th floor to dine are first-class big shots.

But today, someone had booked the entire Immortal Building, and the boss, Hua Buque, stood at the door with twelve women in delicate clothes and waited in person.

The boss of this fairy building is not simple either. His fairy building can be described as making money every day, so it is inevitable to attract people's jealousy. However, he can stand for tens of thousands of years without falling, which shows his skill. Still very impressive.

Hua Buque rarely showed up on weekdays, but this time he stood waiting at the door with a respectful smile on his face. Everyone was guessing, who has such a big reputation to let him stand at the door to greet him?
