Planning

"I don't have any ideas on this matter right now. Give me some time, and I will tell you when the time comes."

Li Quan pondered for a moment, but still could not come up with a name that met Lin Ge's requirements. He had no choice but to give up and think it over carefully after returning home.

"That works too."

Lin Ge was not in a hurry regarding the name; after all, there were things he needed to do beforehand to pave the way for Li Quan's development.

"By the way, you haven't mentioned where your business is encountering obstacles."

Lin Ge suddenly remembered that he did not actually know where Li Quan's business was having trouble, so he asked.

"Yan City!"

Li Quan answered without a second thought.

Yan City was the closest city to Green Sun Town. It contained countless factions, and every day, many powers would perish while many new ones would rise; it could be said that the competition was exceptionally fierce.

Among these factions, only three had endured and grown stronger with the passage of time, gradually becoming the three most powerful forces in Yan City: the City Lord Mansion, the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce, and the Blood Wolf Gang.

Of the three major powers, the City Lord Mansion was the strongest. This was not only because they were backed by the Great Yan Dynasty, but more importantly, the City Lord of Yan City was the strongest individual in the city, with strength that had already reached the peak of the Origin Pellet Grand Perfection, only a step away from the Creation Realm.

Below them was the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce. They were not known for martial prowess, but rather relied on their astonishing financial resources.

As the saying goes, money makes the mare go. Relying on their vast wealth, the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce hired many powerful practitioners as guest elders to guard everything they owned.

Ranked third was the Blood Wolf Gang. This was an existence similar to a criminal syndicate, surviving by collecting protection fees from every household in the areas they controlled. The people within the gang were bloodthirsty and powerful, especially the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, whose strength had reached the Origin Pellet Grand Perfection—only a notch below the City Lord—making him extremely formidable and someone no one dared to provoke.

"Which faction in Yan City is hindering you?"

Hearing this familiar name, Lin Ge frowned and asked in detail.

Yan City was not Green Sun Town; it possessed many Origin Pellet Realm experts, especially within the three major factions, where such experts were countless. Even Lin Ge would not want to provoke them lightly.

"The three major factions wouldn't bother with a small merchant like me. The real trouble is a faction called the Wild Wolf Gang."

Li Quan shook his head gently and said.

"This Wild Wolf Gang is incredibly greedy. The protection fees they collect are far higher than those of the three major factions, and they even want to seize my shop."

Mentioning the Wild Wolf Gang, Li Quan appeared very indignant, yet helpless.

"The Wild Wolf Gang? How is their strength?"

Lin Ge had never heard of this gang, but to be able to carve out a territory in Yan City and act so unscrupulously, there must at least be an Origin Pellet Realm expert sitting in command.

"The strength of this Wild Wolf Gang wasn't considered great before, and their leader was only a Heaven Origin Realm peak expert. But in the last few months, they gained a guest elder, and their strength has skyrocketed. As they began to encroach upon other factions, their desires also expanded. The merchants under their jurisdiction are truly suffering," Li Quan sighed and said.

"They became this arrogant just by gaining one person? Could it be an Origin Pellet Grand Perfection expert?"

Lin Ge felt a wave of pressure in his heart. After all, with his current strength, dealing with an Origin Pellet Small Perfection expert was relatively easy, but handling an Origin Pellet Grand Perfection expert was not a guaranteed victory.

"What level of strength does that guest elder possess? Is it the Origin Pellet Grand Perfection?"

Lin Ge asked with a serious expression.

"How could that be? That guest elder is only an Origin Pellet Realm expert," Li Quan shook his head and said, "Don't think that there are many Origin Pellet experts in Yan City. In fact, most of the Origin Pellet experts in the city belong to the three major factions. Only a small portion do not, and there aren't many of them."

Lin Ge had never been to Yan City; he had only heard a brief summary from Lin Zhentian, who said that there were countless Origin Pellet experts there and that the fighting was fierce, but he had not expected it to be like this.

"If that's the case, then we'll just take the Wild Wolf Gang as our target."

Having figured out who the enemy was and what their strength was, Lin Ge no longer worried about anything else, wearing a smile with confidence in his eyes.

"You want to target the Wild Wolf Gang?"

Li Quan was slightly startled and shouted in disbelief.

"That's right, and not just that. Simply taking down the Wild Wolf Gang is meaningless. I need to intimidate all the factions in Yan City so that your business will be secure," Lin Ge nodded lightly and said calmly.

"Although you are also an Origin Pellet expert, that guest elder has been in the Origin Pellet Realm for over a decade, and now with the help of the Wild Wolf Gang, his strength is definitely very high. Can you really beat him?"

Li Quan knew that the Lei and Xie clans of Green Sun Town were destroyed by Lin Ge, but the strongest power those two families had was only the Heaven Origin Realm.

One had to know that the Heaven Origin Realm and the Origin Pellet Realm were vastly different; any random Origin Pellet expert could easily destroy the Lei and Xie clans.

Now, the person Lin Ge wanted to challenge was a genuine Origin Pellet expert, and it came with the entire Wild Wolf Gang. Could he win?

Li Quan remained deeply skeptical.

Facing Li Quan's skepticism, Lin Ge just smiled calmly and said softly, "I can say such things because I naturally have great certainty."

"As for the entire Wild Wolf Gang, apart from that guest elder in the Origin Pellet Realm, the rest are not worth mentioning; I can wipe them out with a wave of my hand."

Li Quan did not think Lin Ge was bragging after hearing this, but the hardest part of the Wild Wolf Gang to deal with was precisely that guest elder, not the entire gang, so he said, "If you really intend to go, it is best to make a detailed plan and even bring along some Heaven Origin Realm experts."

Looking at the worry deep in Li Quan's eyes, Lin Ge shook his head slightly. He knew that no matter what he said, the other party would not believe that he didn't actually put that guest elder in his eyes, so he stopped explaining.

"Leave these matters to me; I will handle them well. As for the name of the shop and its future, that will have to depend on you."

After saying this, Lin Ge did not wait for Li Quan to reply and rose to leave, leaving behind a stunned Li Quan.

After leaving the shop, Lin Ge spent half an hour strolling with Qin Xue, but having lost his previous enthusiasm, he returned to the Lin Clan.

"I have some things to do over the next few months and will be leaving the Lin Clan temporarily, so you don't need to come looking for me."

After Lin Ge said this to Qin Xue, he turned and left the Lin Clan. He had to go and prepare to stir up a storm in Yan City.
