Li Changfeng had already seen through his little tricks, but he didn't want to pay any attention to them. He also wanted to lure all these high-level executives over to see just how far they could go!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Qing immediately understood Li Changfeng's actions. He wasn't stupid; he knew that Li Changfeng was doing this to give them a warning. Who would be the true owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy?
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...
With a series of whooshing sounds, figures rushed over from all directions. The first to arrive were Ziyi, Qing Yi, Viper, and Blackheart. Upon seeing Viper, Wang Jiao's face lit up with joy. "Father! Quickly kill this guy and save me!"
Upon seeing Li Changfa, the Viper turned pale and knelt down abruptly, crying, "Welcome back, my lord! I deserve to die!"
Upon seeing Li Changfeng, the others also knelt on one knee, saying, "Welcome back, my lord!"
At this moment, Wang Jiao's face was ashen, filled with terror. He never expected that this person was the legendary owner of Cold Mountain Pharmacy. He was extremely afraid, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, fearing that Li Changfeng would kill him on the spot!
The Viper gritted its teeth. "My lord! It is my fault for failing to properly discipline my son! I have angered you! Please forgive me!"
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "When did you have such a big son?!"
Upon hearing this, Viper gave a wry smile. "He's always been here! I just kept him in a safe place. Now that things are more stable, I brought him here. I've been too busy with official duties these past few years to discipline him. Please forgive me, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly released his foot. Wang Jiao suddenly gasped for breath, as he had been almost unable to breathe due to the oppressive aura he had just been under.
This is a one-time exception! And there will be no next time!
Upon hearing this, the Viper was filled with gratitude and immediately shouted at Wang Jiao, "You unfilial son! Get over here right now and apologize to the master!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao's face turned extremely ugly. He hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times. "It was my fault for being blind and offending Your Excellency's divine might. Please forgive my transgression and spare my life!"
Seeing this, Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "This kid is flexible and resourceful; he's quite a character. I'll have to keep a close eye on him!"
"Considering this is your first offense, I'll deduct six months' salary from your pay! Do you accept that?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for sparing my life, sir! I accept!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Viper, take him down and discipline him properly!"
Viper was filled with gratitude upon hearing this. Li Changfeng spared Wang Jiao entirely out of consideration for their past relationship; otherwise, given his terrifying nature, he would have killed him on the spot. "You unfilial son! Go home and reflect on your actions. When I get back, I'll slowly deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiao's face darkened, and he bowed, saying, "I obey! I'll go back right away!"
After Wang Jiao left, the woman in Ziyi narrowed her eyes and slowly said, "My lord! You... have become a Grandmaster!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "That's right!"
Blackheart was immediately shocked upon hearing this. The Grandmaster realm was already beyond their reach, but Li Changfeng had broken through to the Grandmaster realm in just three years. His talent was truly extraordinary. He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on your advancement to the Grandmaster realm, sir!"
The man in green smiled slightly, "Now that you have advanced to the Grandmaster level, shall we make a formal introduction? It would also allow the people of Cold Mountain Pharmacy to meet the true master!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng waved his hand dismissively. "Alright! We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about you guys first. You seem to have done quite well these past few years!"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi smiled slightly, "Of course! Under my management, the entire Cold Mountain Pharmacy has already dominated the entire Northern Di City. Whether it's the pharmacy, the restaurant, the brothel, the bodyguards, the intelligence, or the assassination, we have people all over the place!"
Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, "Three years! You've actually accomplished so much!"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi smiled faintly, "I'm in charge of the pharmacy, financial settlements, and the allocation of various official duties! I've also established a martial arts academy specifically to cultivate a force for our subordinates!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyi slowly said, "I'll go back to my old profession and run the brothel. I'll also gather intelligence from these people and have even created an intelligence agency to collect information!"
Blackheart laughed upon hearing this, "Me too! I'm also in the same old business of running a restaurant. Besides the pharmacy, I make the most money from it. I also established the Golden Hall to train hunters to find delicacies from the mountains and seas to add better food to our restaurant!"
Upon hearing this, Viper cupped his hands and said, "I have established a Dark Hall, which specializes in assassinating some of our hostile organizations and doing the dirty work for Cold Mountain Pharmacy!"
"And the bodyguards are your good brother Tie Niu. The prosperity of Northern Di City over the years is all thanks to his reputation built up by transporting goods in other cities. He deserves a lot of credit!" Ziyi added with a faint smile.
Li Changfeng was visibly surprised upon hearing this. "You guys... you're really amazing! I have to admire you!"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi smiled slightly, "Now that you're back, my lord! Shall we stop hiding and make Cold Mountain Pharmacy famous again, spreading its reputation throughout the entire Northern Di City!"
Li Changfeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Alright! We'll do as you say!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the woman in Ziyi. "In that case! Why don't we hold a grand gathering on the fifteenth of this month to let the people of Northern Di City know that the master of Cold Mountain Pharmacy has returned!"
"Okay! Ziyi, you make the arrangements! I need to think about how to proceed from here!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng dispersed from the group and slowly returned to his room, his brows furrowed. "I'm afraid Tie Niu won't hold the position of City Lord for long. We need to find a way to openly and legitimately take over Northern Di City!"
At the same time.
In a broken stone temple in Northern Di City, a beautiful and gorgeous figure slowly stood inside, followed by a group of black-clad figures, orderly and extremely majestic and upright, clearly the Imperial Court Brocade-Clad Guard of the court.
One of the Brocade-Clad Guard bowed and said, "Your Princess! We've found the person you're looking for!"
Princess Minmin smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Just as I expected! You would definitely come back here!"
Upon hearing this, the Brocade-Clad Guard slowly replied, "I just received a report from our spies! They say that Cold Mountain Pharmacy is going to hold a major conference on the fifteenth of this month, because their leader has returned!"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Perfect! We'll go and meet him on that very day!"
