67: Hengsheng Company
At the detached villa, Lu Yuan saw two men in suits from afar.
They were standing at the entrance of his villa, number 66.
"Is there something you need?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Yuan, we are from Prosperous."
The sharp-featured Middle-Aged Man, who looked to be in his thirties, said.
His tone was condescending, as if the Prosperous he spoke of was an incredible entity.
"My name is Yuan Xiuyong, and this is Tan Yongfeng; we are both supervisors at Prosperous." Yuan Xiuyong introduced himself briefly.
Wind Attribute, two-star Divine Power Realm Practitioner!
Lu Yuan looked at Yuan Xiuyong. As for the man beside him who had lost his left arm, he was a Fire Attribute, three-star Divine Power Realm Practitioner.
"Never heard of it." Lu Yuan shook his head.
He only knew of well-known major powers like the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce and the Jiang Family Martial Arts Hall.
Furthermore, there were the Seven Alliances and One Hall.
As for Prosperous, he didn't know where it popped up from; it was likely a third-rate company.
Hearing this, Tan Yongfeng's expression turned displeased, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Yuan Xiuyong.
"It's fine if you haven't heard of us; I can introduce Mr. Lu Yuan properly." Yuan Xiuyong looked at the closed villa door.
"It's quite hot outside, shall we go inside to chat?"
One does not hit a smiling face; seeing this, Lu Yuan let them into the villa.
"It is not easy to live in a detached villa at Pengcheng University. Mr. Lu Yuan is truly worthy of being the number one in the national Martial Examination, and having won the freshman group championship of the Five Great Top Academies, I am impressed!"
Yuan Xiuyong flattered Lu Yuan excessively, while Tan Yongfeng, who accompanied him, remained indifferent.
"Speak your business; I'm busy." Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered with small talk.
He was indeed busy, rushing to the No Mans Land to hunt fierce beasts.
It was not only for credits, but more importantly, to increase his realm by absorbing the blood of fierce beasts!
"We would like to invite Mr. Lu Yuan to join Prosperous. The chairman thinks highly of you and promises that you will become the general manager of Prosperous after graduation. Also, take a look at this." Yuan Xiuyong took out a gem-encrusted dagger from his storage ring.
"This dagger is called Qianren, a mid-grade spirit tool. Its compact design allows it to easily cut through steel, making it perfect for self-defense!"
Yuan Xiuyong was full of confidence.
No one could resist the temptation of a mid-grade spirit tool!
In Yuan Xiuyong's view, even Lu Yuan, who was the number one in the national Martial Examination, would willingly join Prosperous because of the mid-grade spirit tool!
"Stunned, aren't you?" Yuan Xiuyong said smugly, thinking Lu Yuan had never seen such a good spirit tool before.
A lousy dagger is enough to make me join a company I've never heard of?
Lu Yuan looked at the smug-looking Yuan Xiuyong.
This guy's brain must have been kicked by a donkey!
Did he not know that the reward for second place in the Martial Examination was a high-grade spirit tool? How could his own reward, as the number one, be worse than the second place?
"Take that lousy dagger and get lost!" Lu Yuan said.
He thought Yuan Xiuyong would bring out something good, but this was it!
If he had even brought out a high-grade spirit tool, Lu Yuan wouldn't have spoken like that.
Of course, he still wouldn't have agreed.
Yuan Xiuyong's expression changed, and Tan Yongfeng beside him sneered.
"I told you, if you want Lu Yuan to join the company, you need to be tough. The more you accommodate him, the more arrogant and domineering he becomes!" Tan Yongfeng stood up and stared at Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, as an invisible pressure began to spread.
"If I weren't soft, we wouldn't have even been able to get through the villa door," Yuan Xiuyong thought.
Now, he could only let Tan Yongfeng take action.
"Lu Yuan, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit; join Prosperous!" Tan Yongfeng's tone brooked no refusal.
"Threatening me?"
Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold.
What kind of bullshit Prosperous? Even a power as strong as the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce, the number one chamber of commerce on Blue Star, was polite when inviting him to join.
Even when he refused, they specifically left him a black gold membership card.
Holding this black gold membership card, he could get a 70% discount on any purchase at the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce and enjoy top-tier VIP treatment!
The Alliance Leaders and the Hall Master of the Seven Alliances and One Hall were kind when chatting with him, like elders treating a junior, occasionally hinting for him to join their alliance or hall.
In contrast, these two supervisors from Prosperous were so arrogant?
A faint smell of blood permeated the air, and the blood calamity blood slaughter appeared!
Clatter—
The serrated chain blade wrapped around Tan Yongfeng's neck, capable of separating his head from his body at any moment!
"When did you appear?" Tan Yongfeng's throat moved.
He, a three-star Divine Power Realm Practitioner, hadn't even noticed the blood calamity blood slaughter appearing behind him!
The atmosphere gradually grew heavy.
"You wouldn't dare kill me, unless you want to go to jail!" Tan Yongfeng said with certainty.
This was Pengcheng, one of the five super first-tier cities in Huaxia.
If he died at Lu Yuan's hands, Lu Yuan would spend the rest of his life in prison!
"Oh, then let me try."
Lu Yuan said.
Crack, crack—
The blood calamity blood slaughter gradually applied force, about to sever Tan Yongfeng's carotid artery, and blood dripped down his skin onto the serrated chain blade.
Tan Yongfeng was sweating profusely, his face flushed red.
"I would be going to jail, but you would be losing your life!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"I... I was wrong."
Tan Yongfeng panicked and quickly gave in.
Just as Lu Yuan said, he didn't want to die here.
The villa door opened, and a passing senior student in his fourth year looked at the situation inside the villa.
"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, what's wrong?"
The senior student asked.
"Senior, he's threatening me." Lu Yuan's slender fingers twitched.
The senior student was stunned, looking at Tan Yongfeng, whose carotid artery was about to be severed.
Who was threatening whom? Why did it feel like Junior Brother Lu Yuan was the one threatening others?
"Damn, daring to threaten a student of our Pengcheng University!"
A powerful pressure surged over. The senior students who were qualified to live in detached villas and were in their fourth year were all Eight-star Divine Power Realm or peak Practitioners.
Learning that Lu Yuan was being threatened, the senior student's expression turned angry.
The students of Pengcheng University were naturally fierce, having spent years hunting fierce beasts in the No Mans Land, and were long accustomed to a life of licking blood off the blade.
Having finally returned to school, seeing a junior being bullied made their anger flare up instantly!
"You bunch of thirty-something losers who have only cultivated to the Divine Power Realm are here bullying people; have you no shame!"
The Eight-star Divine Power Realm aura was fully released, and the senior student instantly suppressed the three-star Divine Power Realm Tan Yongfeng.
A mentor passed by.
"What happened?" the mentor asked.
"He threatened Junior Brother Lu Yuan!"
"Hmm?"
The Law Realm aura was fully released!
The passing Vice Principal Vice Principal didn't even ask.
The Saint Realm aura was fully released!
Yuan Xiuyong and Tan Yongfeng trembled; the first two were nothing, but the key was Vice Principal!
The Saint Realm Vice Principal didn't even need to use a Spirit Skill; a single look could make them explode and die!
The status of the principals of the Five Great Top Academies was on par with the Alliance Leaders of the Seven Alliances and One Hall, and the status of a Vice Principal was comparable to a Great Elder.
As soon as Vice Principal came over, Yuan Xiuyong and Tan Yongfeng knew they were done for.
"I'll give you three minutes to get out of Pengcheng University, otherwise you know the consequences!" After Vice Principal said this, he began to count down.
"10, 9, 8..."
Yuan Xiuyong: "???"
Wasn't it three minutes? Why start counting down!
The two of them scrambled to run, afraid that if the countdown ended, they wouldn't even be able to run!
"And they dare to come to Pengcheng University to cause trouble with just this?" Vice Principal snorted coldly, then looked at Lu Yuan.
"Next time you encounter something like this, just notify security; they will handle it."
"Mm."
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Vice Principal, what kind of company is Prosperous?" Lu Yuan asked, as he had never heard of this company at all.
"Prosperous?"
Vice Principal narrowed his eyes. His first reaction was that Prosperous would actually invite Lu Yuan to join, and then he thought of Lu Yuan's mentor, Tang Jinghui!
