Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 548 - 558: A Chip

The cave here was used by Gama to store some top-grade jade stones and some raw stones of relatively good quality.

After all, this area was too chaotic, filled with various forces, and those items were too valuable. Fearing some accidents outside, they were brought here.

This time, Wang Ningmei really hit the jackpot, all sorts of raw stones, nearly a thousand pieces, were collected by Ye Ling into the Xu Zi Ring.

Since achieving the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, Ye Ling had also re-refined his Xu Zi Ring with some remaining Azure Dragon Crystal Stone and other materials.

"Wow! It's actually top-grade Hetian Jade! Geez, this time I've really struck it rich!"

Wang Ningmei couldn't help but exclaim excitedly. Not only were there unique jade stones from this region, but also other regions' stones, each one either top-grade or the finest quality.

It goes without saying that these items must have been acquired by Gama through underhanded means, acting more like a bandit than a legitimate dealer.

Ye Ling waved his hand and didn't leave a single one behind, taking everything from here with him.

There was even a piece of Emperor Green Jade and a top-tier ink jade among the items, something even Wang Ningmei hadn't expected, though the Five-Color Emperor Jade was not present.

After all, treasures of that caliber were rare, not everyone could have the same "dogshit luck" as Ye Ling.

The trio left the manor. As for the bodies inside, Ye Ling burned them all to a crisp with a great fire. This area was practically deserted; the death of a couple hundred people would go unnoticed.

Upon returning to the hotel, Ye Ling and his group stayed at the inn without changing hotels. He wasn't about to switch hotels now when people were dead, as it would bring suspicion right onto his head should anyone learn of Gama's death.

Though Ye Ling could tell everyone that he was the one who killed Gama and get away with it, it was better to avoid trouble altogether.

"You stay here for now. Hubby will find you a new partner to work with," Ye Ling told Wang Ningmei as he patted her shoulder, then instructed Ao Hongchen and Xiao Hei to watch over her. After all, anything could happen in this place.

In a casino, a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette slammed his playing cards onto the ground, "Damn it, my luck is just terrible today!"

"Hu Brother, take a break for a while, come back later and clean them out. Winning paper first, and only then winning money, right?" a young man says near 'Hu Brother' with a slight smile.

Hu Brother nodded, "Alright, I'll cool off. Find me a woman to come over!"

After speaking, he headed straight for the casino's second-floor VIP room. The young man nodded and hurried out.

This 'Hu Brother', also known as Que Huzhe, was another major force in the locality, especially in the development of raw jade stones. He was only a tad weaker than Gama, but that tad was enough to keep him suppressed and unable to turn the tables.

Originally named Que Huzhe, his family wielded great power in the region. He always wanted to swallow up or weaken Gama's influence but never succeeded.

He had approached Wang Ningmei and other dealers several times to join his camp but failed each time.

Therefore, he had announced publicly that he would take the opportunity to deal with these people. Of course, he didn't have the guts to do so while Gama was alive—it was just a threat.

Today at the casino, he had already lost over a hundred million and was extremely agitated. Sitting at a boss's table with a woman kneeling on the ground, bobbing her head continuously.

Hu Brother lay on the chair, enjoying himself, "Damn it, I'll cool off and then win back all your panties!"

Just then, the door suddenly opened. Hu Brother was startled, breaking into a cold sweat, almost shrinking back in fear.

"Who are you! Get the hell out!"

Brother Hu slammed the table instantly, and the woman squatting below quickly stood up, Brother Hu staring dead at the slender young man before him.

"Brother Hu? Que Huzhe?"

The newcomer was none other than Ye Ling, who had come this time to find new partners for Wang Ningmei, and also to add some profit to the deal.

"Who are you!"

Que Huzhe said coldly, and at that moment, more than a dozen burly men ran in from outside. Each one had a cold expression, ready to move on Ye Ling the instant they saw him.

"I'd advise you to send them all out. As for me, I have a big business deal to discuss with you."

As Ye Ling spoke, he casually walked over to a sofa, sat down, picked up a cherry from the plate, and popped it into his mouth, savoring the sweet taste.

Que Huzhe's eyes suddenly shifted, observing Ye Ling's calmness, and couldn't help but feel some wariness. He took a deep breath, waved his hand to make his subordinates and the woman leave.

"Spit it out, if you don't have anything solid to say, I'll blow your head off today!"

Que Huzhe said through gritted teeth, nearly pissing himself in fear. If this bastard didn't have something to say, he'd definitely kill him!

"I'm here to propose a business to you, the jade trade you are involved in."

Ye Ling took another cherry, chewing it slowly as he spoke. Que Huzhe was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, a sinister gleam crossing his eyes.

"Bro, are you joking with me? Going into the jade trade with me? Not to mention anything else, do you even have the qualifications?"

In the entire region, who didn't want to do the jade business with him? The profits were huge and safe; countless magnates, nobles, heroes, and bandits wanted a piece of the action.

Ye Ling shrugged, "I believe I'm qualified. Besides, aren't you always being pressed down by Gama? The biggest power right now is Gama, isn't it?"

Smack, Que Huzhe slammed the table fiercely, making the teacups quake: "Bastard! Don't bring him up to me!"

"Not bring him up? Why shouldn't I? He's your biggest competitor. Only by taking him down can you control the entire market, and your business will grow even larger!"

Ye Ling said nonchalantly while on the side, Que Huzhe's eyes turned icy: "If you are here to mock or ridicule me, then I believe you are close to death."

"Sorry, mocking and ridiculing you is truly not a luxury I can afford."

"Alright, let's cut to the chase. I want thirty percent of all your jade business as dry shares, and you must prioritize selling all your resources to my woman first."

After Ye Ling finished speaking, Que Huzhe was startled, then burst into laughter, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "Are you joking with me?"

"Joking? I don't think so, because I have a bargaining chip you simply can't refuse!"

As he said this, a human head suddenly appeared in Ye Ling's hand, which he then tossed, letting it roll on the ground; the eyes were still open, with blood seeping from the nostrils and mouth, dead but with unseeing eyes.

Que Huzhe had seen his fair share of the dead; one severed head wasn't enough to scare him. But when he focused and saw who it was, he immediately stood up, taking in a sharp breath.
