Chapter 96 Returning to the Provincial Capital
After Vice President Zhou left, he still felt a bit uneasy.
He felt that things weren't that simple.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his communicator and dialed a number.
“Hey, Old Zhou, why are you contacting me so late?”
On the other end of the line was Zhao Tianlong, who had already stepped down from his position as the President of the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association.
This year's excellent results in the Jiangcheng examinations had given Zhao Tianlong an opportunity for promotion.
Under the maneuvering of his Family, he would next take up an important position at the Martial Arts Association headquarters in the capital.
At the same time, regarding his own strength, he planned to charge toward the Grandmaster-level within two years.
Back in Jiangcheng, another person would take over as President of the Martial Arts Association, so he had left all the handover work to Vice President Zhou.
Seeing Vice President Zhou contact him now, Zhao Tianlong knew the other party had encountered something urgent.
“It's about Chu Han.”
“Chu Han?”
Upon hearing the name Chu Han, Zhao Tianlong immediately became restless.
As the pride of Jiangcheng, Chu Han must not have any problems.
Zhao Tianlong hurriedly asked, “What happened? Is Chu Han okay?”
“Chu Han is fine. He seems to have been in an intense battle; there are traces of combat destruction everywhere near his home, but he claimed it was caused by sparring with his teacher. Furthermore, there was no information left by other Martial Artists near the battle site,” Vice President Zhou explained.
“So that's how it is. As long as Chu Han is fine, it's okay.”
Zhao Tianlong let out a long breath and added, “That kid was never one to stay quiet. As long as he doesn't do anything to harm Jiangcheng's interests, don't worry about him.”
“By the way, you said Chu Han was with his teacher. Do you know his teacher?”
“How would I know him? However, that person gave me an unfathomable feeling—definitely not an ordinary powerhouse!”
“Chu Han has already been admitted to Capital Martial Arts University. His teacher is very likely a big shot from Capital Martial Arts University! You must never offend him!” Zhao Tianlong urged.
“Then it's better if I don't disturb them!”
Vice President Zhou broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
He immediately dismissed the idea of investigating the truth behind Chu Han's battle.
On the other side, at Chu Han's invitation, Qiu Zhan arrived at his home.
Chu Han immediately went to the basement to call his parents out.
When Chu Zhan and Zhang Meilan learned that the elderly man before them was Chu Han's university mentor, they immediately treated Qiu Zhan as an honored guest and entertained him with extreme hospitality.
Early the next morning, Chu Han performed his routine lottery draw.
This time, he drew a Starry Sky Exotic Beast Illustrated Handbook.
It recorded information on some of the more famous exotic beasts in the Universe, which greatly broadened Chu Han's knowledge.
It could be considered a decent reward.
After eating breakfast, Qiu Zhan returned to the capital.
And Chu Han also had urgent business today.
After seeing Qiu Zhan off, he boarded the train to the provincial capital.
He didn't tell anyone about this trip.
By the time he arrived at the provincial capital, it was already noon.
After Chu Han exited the station, he immediately changed his outfit.
He also applied some simple disguises.
His face was pockmarked, his head had messy long hair, and a thick beard was glued around his chin.
He looked like a Loose Cultivator Martial Artist in his thirties who had been traveling for years; no one would ever imagine he was the provincial top scorer who was the center of attention.
His purpose for this trip was clear: to dispose of the 'inheritance' on him.
That is, the relics found in the spatial equipment of Bai Chongming, Lan Kui, and others.
He couldn't find a suitable buyer for these things in Jiangcheng at all.
In addition to the official trading center, the provincial capital also hosted a branch of the global-scale giant commercial Alliance: the Star Alliance!
The full name of the Star Alliance is the Starry Sky Alliance. It is the world's largest commercial Alliance, controlling over 30% of the global economic resources.
As a top-tier commercial Alliance, the Star Alliance only opens trading malls in provincial-level cities within the Dragon Summer Federation.
Only the Star Alliance branch in the provincial capital would have the strength to absorb several billion worth of goods.
More importantly, the Star Alliance's rules gave him peace of mind.
Because one of the Star Alliance's unwritten rules was 'don't ask about the source, only look at the value.'
It was very suitable for fencing stolen goods.
Whereas at the official trading center, it would be unavoidable for the source to be tracked, which Chu Han didn't feel comfortable with.
After leaving the station, Chu Han hailed a taxi. “To the Star Alliance!”
Upon hearing this, a hint of awe flashed in the driver's eyes, and he hurriedly nodded. “Sir, you must be a Martial Artist, right? The Star Alliance is the most grand place in our provincial capital!”
More than half an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of a skyscraper.
The building was nearly a hundred meters high, shaped like an upright crystal. On the front of the building, the four large words 'Starry Sky Alliance' were engraved.
Chu Han got out of the car and walked inside the building, instantly shocked by the luxury within.
The lobby on the first floor was over ten meters high, with a massive dome at the top inlaid with lights simulating a starry sky, flickering with a faint luster.
The floor was paved with black dragon-patterned stone, and on both sides were green plants containing essence energy, emitting a fresh scent.
Behind the service desk in the distance was a giant holographic screen, scrolling through various Star Alliance trading information.
The most eye-catching part was the service staff in the lobby.
The men were all tall and handsome, wearing uniform white shirts and black trousers.
The women were dressed in professional suits, beautiful and elegant in temperament; every single one looked like a carefully selected model.
As a top commercial Alliance, the Star Alliance had extremely high requirements for its service staff. Not only did they need higher education and professional quality, but their appearance and temperament were also important selection criteria.
He walked straight to the service desk, where he was received by a sweet-smiling young woman with a soft voice: “Hello, sir. How can I help you?”
“I want to sell a batch of items. Your Rank is too low. Please help me contact someone with high-level authority for the transaction,” Chu Han said.
The woman was slightly taken aback but maintained her smile: “May I ask what type of items you wish to sell, sir? Approximately how much are they worth? We will arrange a suitable person in charge based on your situation.”
“Many types: Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, weapons and equipment, exotic beast Materials, etc. The value is at least several billion,” Chu Han said flatly.
“Sev... several billion?”
The smile on the woman's face instantly froze, her eyes filled with shock.
She had worked at the Star Alliance for three years and had received many big clients, but a single transaction reaching several billion was extremely rare.
She didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly said, “Sir, please wait a moment. I will report to my superiors immediately. Please wait for a while in the lounge area nearby.”
Chu Han nodded and went to sit on the sofa in the lounge area.
Before long, a steady-looking middle-aged man in a black suit walked over quickly.
The man said with a warm smile, “Hello, sir! I am Wang Bo, the manager of the Star Alliance branch, responsible for handling large-scale transaction business. I heard you have a business worth several billion to discuss?”
Wang Bo's gaze quickly swept over Chu Han, feeling somewhat puzzled.
The man before him was dressed ordinarily, and his aura was just that of an ordinary Rank 3 Martial Artist. No matter how he looked, he didn't seem like a big client who could produce several billion worth of goods.
However, he still didn't dare to be negligent. After all, in this world, those who dared to play tricks on the Star Alliance were very, very few.
“It's me.” Chu Han stood up, his tone flat.
“Sir, please come inside. We can discuss in detail in the VIP room,” Wang Bo said warmly.
Chu Han nodded and followed Wang Bo to a spacious VIP room.
The VIP room was also very luxuriously decorated, ten times more luxurious than the VIP room at the trading center.
Everywhere screamed three words: not lacking money.
Sitting on the sofa, Chu Han went straight to the point: “I have a batch of Cultivation resources in my hand that I want to sell all at once. I wonder if you can handle it?”
“You must be joking, sir. There are no goods in this world that the Star Alliance cannot handle. Please feel free to bring them out; we will give you the most satisfactory price,” Wang Bo laughed.
“That's good then.”
Chu Han took out a space ring, exactly the one he had obtained from Night Owl.
He had already placed all the items he wanted to sell inside.
He directly handed the space ring to Wang Bo: “Most of the items I want to sell are in here. You can check them at your leisure.”
Wang Bo's eyes lit up.
Chu Han producing a piece of spatial equipment as soon as he made a move was enough to prove Chu Han's strength.
He was instantly delighted and immediately took the space ring.
