146: Chapter 146 The Bubble Bursts! The Dead End of Tian Shu's Richest Man!

The redemption day for the first month arrived as scheduled.

Inside the inner hall of the Great Qin Bank, the Head Steward of the Li Family looked at the 1.3 million pieces of low-grade divine crystals emitting rich Immortal Qi before him, his hands trembling violently.

"It... it really was paid? Three hundred thousand pieces in interest, not a single piece missing?!"

The Head Steward was so excited he was incoherent. When their Li Family engaged in usury in Tianshu City, they had to send people to chop off hands and feet to collect debts, and even then, they might not make this much net profit after working themselves to the bone for a month.

Now, just by leaving the money here and doing nothing, a pie had fallen from the sky?!

"Great Qin Bank values reputation above all else." Ying Yue'e's voice, coming from behind the screen, carried a hint of laziness and perfectly measured arrogance: "However, you have arrived at just the right time, honored guest. Our boss said that the initial investment for that peerless Immortal mine is already sufficient. Starting next month, we will completely close the 【Supreme Wealth Management】 channel and will no longer accept any external funds."

"What?! Close it?!" The Head Steward became anxious.

"That's right. Because the returns for this final phase are extremely high and the quota is limited, we intend to reserve it all for our own people." Ying Yue'e calmly cast the bait.

Upon hearing this, the Head Steward panicked!

Was this business of counting money while lying down about to disappear?

Without another word, he swept up the 1.3 million divine crystals on the table and rushed back to the Li Family mansion like a mad dog.

In the Li Family's main hall, when Li Changming looked at the extra 300,000 divine crystals, an unprecedented crimson light of greed erupted in his old eyes, which had seen countless people.

"Good! What a Great Qin Bank! They are truly throwing money into that Immortal mine!"

Greed burned in his chest like a tangible flame: "Close the channel? Hunger marketing? Hmph! Trying to cut out my Li Family and eat alone? Not a chance!"

"Head Steward, pass on my order!" Li Changming stood up abruptly, waving his hand, fully displaying the madness of the richest man in Tianshu City:

"Open the Family treasury immediately! Withdraw all liquid divine crystals!"

"And! Take the land deeds of the 【Tianshu Chamber of Commerce】 and the mining rights to those few veins in the east of the city, and use them all as collateral for the Great Qin Bank! I want to exchange them for a principal of 100 million divine crystals and dump it all into this final wealth management pool!"

The Head Steward was shocked: "Family Head, mortgage the land deeds? This... if by any chance..."

"There is no 'if'!" Li Changming kicked the Head Steward over and grinned viciously: "That kid has the City Lord's jade talisman in his hand, he can't run! Besides, the money of all the lowly commoners in Tianshu City is with him. If he dares to default, the whole city will tear him apart alive! We are just using the chicken to lay eggs, what is there to fear?!"

"Go do it! This month, I want to earn 30 million divine crystals from him! When the time comes, I will first retrieve our own principal and interest. Then, I will unite all the Cultivators in Tianshu City who deposited money to make a scene! Make him spit out all the capital!"

"If he can't spit it out, at that time, we will just smash the plaque of his lousy bank!"

Li Changming was not a fool; he dared to gamble because he had the certainty of controlling the other party in his hands.

He was just a Human Race at the third realm of the Immortal Man; he might have capital, but when investing, one must recognize whether their own purse is enough to keep things running.

If he invested all the money into the mine, then his own large stake would be enough to crush the other party!

When the time came, he would incite those poor wretches of shareholders and tell them that the Great Qin Bank had no money left, and if they didn't redeem it quickly, the money would be gone. At that moment, the Great Qin Bank would inevitably be in trouble!

Furthermore, just in case, he secretly misappropriated the batch of cultivation resources that should have been offered to the City Lord, Shen Youchu, this month! Although he was the one who misappropriated it, the money was in the Great Qin Bank. When the time came, he would cry and complain, shifting the flames of war onto the Great Qin Bank...

The smile on Li Changming's lips could not be suppressed; he could already see the end of the Great Qin Bank a month later!

Another month passed quietly. This morning, a drizzling spiritual rain fell on Tianshu City.

Li Changming specially changed into his most luxurious brocade robe and, taking the Head Steward and dozens of Family elites, walked towards the slums in the west of the city in high spirits, even with a touch of arrogance.

However, when he arrived at the street where the Great Qin Bank was located, the scene before him made the smile on his face instantly freeze, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He saw that the magnificent golden gates of the Great Qin Bank were now tightly sealed by two huge crossed strips of paper. Outside the door, tens of thousands of low-level Loose Cultivators were kneeling in a dense crowd, wailing and crying, their mournful cries shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Damn it all! My divine crystals! My life savings!"

"There's no medicine! The supply of 【Zuixiansan】 has been cut off! I can't take it! Give me the medicine!"

Li Changming's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition shot straight to his crown. He violently pushed through the crowd, rushed to the front of the bank, and stared fixedly at the notice.

There were only a few lines of text on it: 【Shocking news: The peerless Immortal mine in the world where our boss is located has been looted by extraterrestrial heavenly demons, and all capital has been lost.】【The Great Qin Bank hereby declares bankruptcy, and redemption of all principal and interest is suspended indefinitely.】【Additionally: The Li Family Head, Li Changming, borrowed funds using the Tianshu Chamber of Commerce and other land deeds as collateral. Due to failure to repay on time, the above-mentioned assets belong to the Great Qin Bank as of today.】

"Buzz—!" Li Changming felt a thunderbolt explode in his mind, his vision went black, his throat tasted sweet, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out directly!

"Pfft!!!" The blood stained the notice!

"A scam... This is a trap! From beginning to end, it was all a lie!!!"

Li Changming's hair was disheveled, his eyes instantly turned blood red, and he roared like a mad beast: "My divine crystals! My chamber of commerce land deeds! My tribute to the City Lord!!!"

Gone! Everything was gone!

In just one night, the high and mighty Li Family, the richest in Tianshu City, had not only been emptied of all their Family fortune, but even their ancestral property had become someone else's legal asset! From being the richest, they had become deadbeats burdened with massive debt!

And what was even more desperate was that the surrounding low-level Loose Cultivators, who had fallen into madness because of the bank's collapse, upon hearing Li Changming's roar just now, instantly fixed their man-eating gazes on him.

"It's the Li Family! The notice says the bank lent all the money to the Li Family!"

"It's that dog thief Li Changming who sucked the bank dry! Return our divine crystals! Return our lives!"

A riot was instantly ignited!

Tens of thousands of Loose Cultivators, driven to a dead end, rushed towards the Li Family members with red eyes.

"Get lost! A bunch of ants!"

Li Changming's cultivation at the Ten Realms of Immortal Man erupted with a boom, and with one palm, he smashed a dozen nearby Loose Cultivators.

He had fallen completely into madness, his Immortal Qi raging, and his resentful voice echoed throughout the sky over the west of the city:

"Su Feng!!! Do you think you can control me by hiding behind the scenes and plotting these schemes?! In the world of cultivation, money is nothing! Fists are the only truth!"

"Li Family death squads, listen to my orders! Seal the whole city for me! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find that bastard surnamed Su and that bitch for me! I want to extract their souls, refine them, and light them as sky lanterns!!!"

Meanwhile, Su Feng, whom Li Changming swore to cut into a thousand pieces, was currently sitting leisurely on the top floor of the 【Tianshu Chamber of Commerce】, which he had just legally taken over.

The Li Family members inside the chamber of commerce had already been cleared out by the grand formation.

He held the warm and fragrant Ying Yue'e in his arms, held a cup of premium Immortal tea in his hand, and overlooked the soaring Spiritual Qi fluctuations and chaos in the west of the city in the distance.

"The business war is over, the bubble has burst. Yue'e, you did a beautiful job." Su Feng kissed Ying Yue'e's red lips lightly.

Ying Yue'e covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes darting around: "I only paved the way. As for the mad dog that jumps over the wall in desperation, I will have to trouble my husband to handle it personally."

"Heh heh, I've been waiting for him to jump over the wall."

Su Feng slowly stood up. He did not release any pressure, but in those Ancient Heavy Pupils, a heart-palpitating light of Immortal and Demon had already emerged.

His fingertips gently brushed through the Void Realm, and a jet-black Demon God Imperial weapon that radiated an extreme bloodthirsty desire—the 【god slaying sword】—slowly appeared.

"A Divine Soul from the Ten Realms of Immortal Man should be enough to let this sword have a good meal."

"The Physical Body I promised the old ghost... must also be fulfilled!"
