Seizing the Opportunity, Heavenly Mechanism Tokens

Imperial City.

Inside a courtyard.

Fourth Brother pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "Boss, your family has been safely relocated by our people. Also, Six Doors still hasn't posted your wanted notice."

"Mm."

Boss Qian nodded in the room.

Fourth Brother continued, "They also asked when the Boss will be leaving."

"Leaving? Leaving where?"

Boss Qian said, "I really can't bear to leave this Imperial City... Fourth Brother, can you?"

Fourth Brother immediately fell silent.

The Imperial City was quite dangerous for Boss Qian, as he had already died here.

If someone suddenly discovered his whereabouts, it would naturally be extremely perilous.

But Boss Qian was reluctant to leave.

As his confidant, Fourth Brother knew that he wasn't reluctant to leave the prosperous Imperial City itself, but rather the opportunity that had appeared that day.

In fact, Fourth Brother was also reluctant to leave!

The chance to regain youth!

Who could bear to give that up?

Even though he trained his body, he was, after all, middle-aged. His current physique was no match for his body in his early twenties.

That youthful body felt as if all burdens had been lifted, brimming with endless vitality.

If he were to simply grow old like this, he wouldn't have minded.

But how could he not when he had encountered such an opportunity, to experience a body in his early twenties again in his thirties?

The feeling of that hour, even after several days, was still etched in his memory.

Who would be willing to give up such a chance?

"Let's wait a bit longer. The fact that that esteemed individual has come to our aid means we must still have value to him!"

"Heh heh heh, as expected of someone who could become the chief manager of Datong Money House through his own abilities. Truly intelligent!"

An inexplicable voice suddenly echoed in the courtyard.

Hearing the voice, the two felt a sense of relief.

Boss Qian cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you have finally arrived."

The next moment, a figure abruptly appeared before them, with his back to Boss Qian. "Since you've already guessed, I'll be direct. I need you to create a merchant association to provide funds for our organization."

"Yes! This is precisely what I excel at!"

Boss Qian agreed immediately, without any hesitation.

With such an opportunity before him, any hesitation would have made his past half-life a waste.

Whether he could achieve it or not, he would agree first.

If there were difficulties, he could address them later.

"Good. Take these twelve Heavenly Mechanism Tokens; they will be of assistance."

Casually, he produced twelve seemingly ordinary wooden tokens and placed them on the table beside Boss Qian.

"These... Heavenly Mechanism Tokens?"

Boss Qian was stunned, feeling very confused.

Zhou Ming said, "Pick one up and infuse it with your true qi!"

"Yes."

Boss Qian did as he was told. To his surprise, after infusing true qi into the wooden token, it suddenly projected a screen of the same size as the token, about two centimeters above it.

"This... this..."

"Do not be alarmed. Continue to infuse true qi, and with your other hand, write text on the token using true qi as well."

"Yes..."

Boss Qian followed suit again and immediately found that the text he had written with his true qi was projected onto the screen above the wooden token.

"Have your confidant pick up a wooden token and infuse it with true qi!"

Boss Qian nodded and gave Fourth Brother a look.

Fourth Brother immediately picked up a wooden token and infused it with true qi. To his surprise, a projection appeared on the token.

But what was peculiar was that the text Boss Qian had just written actually appeared on this projection.

Zhou Ming said, "This is the function of this item. As long as there is a mark on one of the Heavenly Mechanism Tokens, the other Heavenly Mechanism Tokens, provided they are supplied with true qi, will display the same mark.

Think carefully about the purpose of this item!"

Money Boss didn't even need to think hard to come up with many uses for it, and said excitedly, "Senior, this item is truly marvelous!"

"Naturally, it is marvelous."

Zhou Ming said, "I will find you in a month."

"I will certainly not disappoint you, senior!"

"It's best if you don't..."

Zhou Ming's figure then disappeared. Money Boss was startled and quickly asked, "Senior, may I know the name of our organization?"

"Heh heh, you don't need to know the name of the organization now. You just need to know that you listen to my commands and complete my orders!"

"Then... may I know your name, senior..."

"Rum."

"We respectfully send off Senior Rum!"

Money Boss bowed respectfully.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no reply, he finally got up.

Money Boss looked back at the Heavenly Mechanism Tokens on the table and suddenly started laughing, "Hahaha, hahahahahaha..."

As expected!

He was still very useful to that senior.

Now, he had finally connected with this senior!

From the current perspective, the forces behind this Senior Rum were probably astonishing.

But it was normal, they had even researched a divine medicine for reversing aging.

Although he heard the senior say it only lasted for an hour, it was already incredibly heaven-defying.

And the twelve Heavenly Mechanism Tokens gifted now had unimaginably powerful functions.

He just didn't know how far the sensing range between them was...

But he figured it wouldn't be bad.

After a long while, Money Boss calmed his mood and said, "Fourth Brother, tidy up and let's leave the Imperial City!"

"Yes!"

Pei Manor.

"With Money Boss's capabilities, it would be very simple to establish a merchant association to make money. However, the initial preparations would require a lot of time, and he wouldn't be of immediate use."

Zhou Ming thought to himself.

"In that case, during these days, I would still have to rely on my godfather's influence, which is quite inconvenient. Are there any forces that can be subdued first and used temporarily?"

While he was thinking, Uncle Qiang arrived.

"Young Master, Master asks to see you."

"Alright."

In the same study room, Pei Ju said, "In court today, Cao Zhengchun has already made his move, setting forth numerous charges against Yang Yuxuan, with conclusive evidence. Yang Yuxuan and his entire family have been exiled."

Zhou Ming was surprised, "Cao Zhengchun's revenge is merely exile?"

For an ordinary person who had merely offended Cao Zhengchun, exile would be considered severe.

But Yang Yuxuan had contacted many court officials and submitted memorials three times, forcing the return of power.

Cao Zhengchun had directly lost the greatest power in his hands. He probably wished he could dismember and devour Yang Yuxuan alive!

In the end, it only resulted in exile.

It truly fell short of the Eastern Depot's standards!

Pei Ju said, "That Yang Yuxuan is a loyal minister of the central government, never having engaged in corruption. Furthermore, the time elapsed is still short, so even the Eastern Depot was powerless and could only exile his entire family."

Zhou Ming said, "Then it seems the Eastern Depot will resort to force next."

"Indeed."

"Zhu Wushi's public image is also that of a just and upright official. In this situation, he cannot possibly not act. Therefore, the Four Great Secret Agents of the Dragon Guard Manor are likely to make their move!"

"Oh?" Pei Ju stroked his beard and asked, "Why?"

Zhou Ming said, "The reason stated above, that Zhu Wushi's public image is that of a just and upright official, is one reason.

The Dragon Guard Manor has always been at odds with the Eastern Depot. This time, the Eastern Depot's move will surely be with their elites. Eliminating them would weaken the Eastern Depot's influence; this is the second reason.

And the third reason is because Zhu Wushi intends to recruit civil officials and win their hearts!

Yang Yuxuan's three memorials, returning power to the Emperor, have made him famous. He is a loyal and upright official, yet he is framed by the Eastern Depot. At this time, if the Dragon Guard Manor intervenes and rescues Yang Yuxuan, it would be winning the hearts of the civil officials...

Godfather, it seems that after the return of power, Zhu Wushi has also sensed a crisis and intends to attack your basic support base.

Unfortunately, it's too late!"
