The Rich Man, Wang Ji

Missed!

Wang Ji's eyes glared fiercely toward the direction behind him. Perhaps it was because the sniper hadn't expected the shot to miss, but the attacker, growing ruthless, quickly fired several more rounds.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Now that he was on guard, these thermal firearms were a joke to Wang Ji. Even without using his spiritual force, Wang Ji's physical fitness meant he had no reason to fear guns. They simply couldn't hit him! In fact, even if they did, his S-Class Combat Suit would protect him from any serious injury.

His reaction just now had been an overreaction. Being ambushed by a high-powered sniper rifle in an instant had truly startled him. Now, however, anger surged within Wang Ji!

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." Three sniper bullets were strangely deflected from 200 meters away, slamming directly into the empty ground ten meters away!

"What is going on! What the hell!" The ambush squad stared at each other, faces full of horror.

"Swish!" Several flying daggers hovered in front of Wang Ji.

"A Spirit Reader!" the opposing squad screamed in terror!

Spirit Reader—a synonym for both envy and fear!

Thermal weapons were completely ineffective, and their attacks were bizarre, with trajectories impossible to predict. Spirit Readers had always been invincible among their peers. Most importantly, they could fly!

"Get out here!" Wang Ji roared in anger.

Up ahead, the squad adopted a defensive posture and, biting the bullet, emerged from the jungle. They stood 300 meters away from Wang Ji.

"We had no intention of making an enemy of you! This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was our prey; we had tracking agent on the beast!" the opposing captain said urgently.

"Oh?" Wang Ji sneered. "Then how do you explain this?"

Several shell casings floated to Wang Ji's feet.

The captain squeezed out a stiff, ugly smile. "Friend, it's a misunderstanding! Absolutely a misunderstanding! We were aiming for the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf! Yes, just the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf!"

"Right! It really is a misunderstanding!..."

Seeing Wang Ji's expression growing colder, the voices on the other side slowly faded.

One of the team members, refusing to give in, said, "Spirit Readers are strong, but he's only one person! We have four Warlord-level fighters! Captain, so what if he's a Spirit Reader!"

The captain nodded and said to Wang Ji, "Friend, it is entirely a misunderstanding! I'll make the call—let's split this Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, how about that?"

Wang Ji's face remained cold. "Not interested!"

"You..." The squad looked furious. "Even if you are a Spirit Reader, you still have to respect strength! Friend, you're going too far!"

"Whimper..."

The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, true to being a top-tier Beast Warlord, possessed terrifyingly high intelligence. Taking advantage of the standoff between Wang Ji and the squad, it tucked its tail and tried to sneak away.

"Swish!" Wang Ji unleashed his full firepower. With his perfect-level footwork, extreme speed, and spiritual force guiding two 9-Series Flying Daggers to strike specifically at the wounds on the beast's belly, his Heavy Mountain Sword also transformed into a blur of cyan light.

"Swish, swish, swish..." In less than ten seconds, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf collapsed, twitching.

The opposing squad was completely stunned. The speed Wang Ji had just displayed was nearly the speed of sound! His superior footwork and sharp swordsmanship proved he was definitely not an ordinary Warlord! He was a top-tier Warlord—a master even among high-level Warlords!

Seeing Wang Ji glare at them, the captain said, "Friend, it really was a misunderstanding! We have our cameras on. Fighters are forbidden from killing each other!"

Seeing Wang Ji look at him as if he were an idiot, the captain gritted his teeth and said, "We can offer compensation!"

"Thud!" A backpack full of monster materials was tossed onto the ground in front of them.

"Friend! These materials are worth 200 million; it's everything we've harvested!"

"Oh?" Wang Ji looked at him with a mocking smile. "Not enough!"

The captain gritted his teeth. "I'll transfer another 100 million! Friend, that's all we have! Otherwise, we'll just have to fight to the death!"

"Fine!" Wang Ji nodded.

"Fighter account 52347*****2217."

The other side performed the operation, then looked shocked. "Wang Ji! Are you that genius Wang Ji from the Limit Martial Hall?"

"Hmm?" Wang Ji glared at them.

"Ding-dong! Tiger Fang has transferred 100 million Chinese Yuan to you!" Wang Ji also stared in surprise. "Tiger Fang? You are the Tiger Fang Squad?"

This was quite a coincidence. Wang Ji smiled. Wasn't this the squad that had a grudge against City Lord Luo? Could it be that the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf he just killed was supposed to be their loot in the original story?

The other side looked nervous. "Friend... we agreed that we're even! You can't hold a grudge and come after us later!"

Wang Ji smiled, though the smile was cold. "I was originally planning to wait for you to leave and then hunt you down. Who knew you were the Tiger Fang Squad? I've heard so much about you!"

The captain's body trembled. "We... do we know each other?"

Wang Ji smiled. "Since you are the Tiger Fang Squad, I'll spare your lives." Wang Ji still didn't want to disrupt City Lord Luo's growth trajectory too much. This Tiger Fang Squad, after all, served as an important stepping stone for Luo Feng in his early days.

Before the squad could even feel relieved, Wang Ji's flying dagger flashed out, instantly taking the life of the sniper.

"You..." The Tiger Fang Squad immediately raised their blades, assuming a defensive posture. "You went back on your word!"

Wang Ji laughed. "He used a sniper rifle to shoot at me; I only killed him. Isn't that merciful enough?" After saying this, Wang Ji waved his hand. "You can go now!"

Wang Ji's smile made their hearts run cold. They didn't know which of his words were sincere, but the standoff was testing their nerves too much.

Facing Wang Ji, the Tiger Fang Squad slowly backed away, retreating cautiously for a kilometer before turning and fleeing.

A short while later, in a safe little building, Zhang Zehu slammed his fist into the ground. "So frustrating!"

The Tiger Fang captain also glared, his eyes wide. "It's truly infuriating! That Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was already on the verge of being dragged to death by us. That was worth hundreds of millions! And we ended up losing 300 million instead! That's at least three months of income for us!"

"I heard... the Night Fire Squad has a grudge against this Wang Ji!" a lean, wiry team member said.

"Night Fire? The Night Fire Squad is quite a bit stronger than us! How about..."

"Let's do it! Skinny Monkey, you go notify Night Fire!"

"Should we mention this kid's strength? This kid is a pretty famous genius over at the Limit Martial Hall. Last I heard, he had the strength of a near-intermediate War General. Which idiot spread that fake news, damn it!"

"No need! Just say we happened to see this Wang Ji in County 0201. Don't say a single word more!" the Tiger Fang captain said deviously.

"Alright!"

With their plan settled, the group immediately began to take action.

Wang Ji returned to the base city with a bountiful harvest.

The haul this time was massive and of high value, so he brought it directly back to the base city to sell.

HR Alliance, 36th floor, VIP client room.

"Mr. Wang, we meet again! This time, our supervisor is personally responsible for receiving you! This is our Supervisor Yu!"

"Hello, hello!" Supervisor Yu was extremely enthusiastic. Upon hearing from Wang Ji that the materials this time exceeded 1 billion, the supervisor had rushed over eagerly.

Wang Ji tossed the materials he had taken from the Tiger Fang Squad onto the table. Supervisor Yu carefully inspected them. "Mr. Wang, the market price for these materials is around 190 million! I'll make the call—200 million. How does that sound?"

Wang Ji nodded and then handed over the materials from the Silver Wolf.

"Hiss... Silver Wolf! Wolf-type monsters are incredibly strong! Two of them! High-level Beast General rank!" Supervisor Yu solemnly used his instruments to check them. After a long while, he said enthusiastically, "No problem! The materials are very complete! Two high-level Beast Generals, we'll count them at 180 million each, and the other two, we'll bundle them for 90 million. That's 450 million in total. How does that sound?"

Wang Ji raised his eyes. "Too low!"

"Mr. Wang, you have to understand, some materials from low-level Lord-rank monsters only go for 500 or 600 million. This is already... alright, alright! Since we've dealt with each other many times, one final price: 470 million!"

"550 million!"

"Impossible!"

In the end, the deal was struck at 500 million.

"Thud!" The last backpack was thrown onto the table. Supervisor Yu's heart skipped a beat. There's more!

The value was getting higher each time; could these materials be...

Supervisor Yu opened it to take a look, and a wolf pelt shimmering with silver light appeared before him. The ferocious aura on this pelt had yet to dissipate, still coalescing into something almost tangible.

"This is... this is a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf! My god! A hunter, a hunter of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf!"

Half an hour later, Wang Ji left with 1.5 billion. "I'm a rich man now!"
