"Reporting to Great Shopkeeper Yan, there are no leads at present!" Inside the Tongtian Merchant House, a manager carefully delivered his report to Yan Chi.
"No leads? What do you mean?" Yan Chi's expression turned cold.
"Reporting to Great Shopkeeper Yan, there truly are no leads! According to our information, the Hua Family's giant ship had been at the port for less than an hour.
Even our merchant house only received word an hour after the Hua Family's giant ship entered the harbor. Yet by the time we got the news, that Young Master Di had already gone to the Hua Family's giant ship and presented his calling card!"
At this point, the manager paused before saying, "Under these circumstances, there is only one possibility!"
"What possibility?" Yan Chi asked.
"The one surnamed Di had been in contact with the Hua Family beforehand!" the manager replied.
Smack!
The moment his words fell, Yan Chi, blazing with fury, slapped the manager across the face. "Idiot! If the Hua Family and that one surnamed Di had been in contact long ago, they would have already gone beyond Chaotic Void Island to trade in secret. Would it still have been my turn to go intercept the deal?"
Yan Chi was also helpless. According to his original plan, he intended to follow his usual methods—force Ye Zhen to yield and establish cooperation, then slowly pry into Ye Zhen's background.
But he had never expected Ye Zhen to connect with the Hua Family fleet that had just arrived at Chaotic Void Island so precisely. Moreover, the Hua Family had an enormous demand for Crimson Yin Grass.
Every year, in order to purchase more Crimson Yin Grass, the Hua Family had to let Tongtian Trading House handle eighty percent of the items on their procurement list.
