The Master of Beasts

Chapter 991 - 350:

Dang Yue has already hired the assassins from the Assassination Association to come and kill me. It’s possible he might become desperate and make a direct move against me.

"To go, or not to go?"

This question only lingered briefly in Chen Jiuge’s mind before he decided to go.

"After all, I’m now a member of Dark Star. Since she’s from headquarters, she can’t even protect someone as insignificant as me, right?"

Moreover, having the chance to meet Dang Yue, Chen Jiuge didn’t want to miss it. It’s quite difficult to meet this old turtle, Dang Yue.

It’s said that while welcoming me, the new Vajra, was the only time in recent years that Dang Yue left his territory.

Although Yun Yan took Lan Yun and others away, the previous beast fight ignited the atmosphere in the entire Gladiatorial Arena, and today’s income is expected to hit a new high!

Time quickly moved to seven in the evening.

"Tick-tock"

The watch’s hand pointed to six fifty. Chen Jiuge casually grabbed the coat on the chair.

"Let’s go!"

The bored Hong Lei extinguished his cigar and asked curiously, "Sir, what’s happening, where are we going?"

"You’ll find out when we get there!"

"So secretive!"

"Captain Hong Lei!" Han Kui called out discontentedly. This new recruit has high cultivation, but his behavior is somewhat overstepping.

"Alright, Han Kui, no need to pay too much attention!"

Exiting the Gladiatorial Arena, walking through the ground floor of the brightly lit Drunken Life and Dream Death building, a bit of cold sweat dripped from Han Kui’s forehead, "Sir, are you heading to the logistics area?"

"Oh? Have you been there, Han Kui?"

Chen Jiuge asked somewhat surprised.

The area where the Logistics Department is located is known to everyone, but ordinary Dark Star members have only heard about it. The entire logistics department has been seized by Dang Yue, almost becoming his private territory.

"Yes, I went there once when I first joined, but that area is under the jurisdiction of the Warehouse Master, very unwelcoming!"

"Unwelcoming, huh? That’s as expected!"

They were silent along the way, and after about a quarter of an hour, Chen Jiuge finally witnessed the so-called Logistics Department.

The Logistics Department is actually a large area of warehouses, with many giant trucks parked outside. On the open ground outside the warehouse, numerous containers are stacked, and shirtless men are diligently unloading goods from the containers.

"Lord Yun!"

Chen Jiuge saw Yun Yan, dressed in an office lady’s uniform, standing alone outside the main gate. The two Dark Hand guards at the door were bowing respectfully before her, discussing something he couldn’t overhear.

"Since you’re here, let’s proceed!"

After respectfully seeing the two off, one of the Dark Hand guards wiped the sweat from his forehead, "What day is today, two Vajras showed up directly!"

"Who cares, we’re just small fry guarding the door!"

"But honestly, the Wealth Master’s figure is really something!"

"Smack"

"Careful! Don’t say things like that out loud, keep it in your head!"

"I know, but it’s just us two here, right?"

"Still, don’t say it. I want to live a bit longer!"

"Do you know why I called you here?" Yun Yan asked, exhaling a swirl of white smoke from a lady’s cigarette.

"No idea!"

Chen Jiuge replied honestly.

Yun Yan glanced sideways at the two beside Chen Jiuge, who then understood: "You two, step aside a bit!"

Once they walked a distance away, Yun Yan spoke, "Initially, I just casually made a move. The situation on Chong Yun’s side is almost concluded. I wanted to avoid surprises, which is why I reached out to you earlier!"

"What about now?"

"Because of your talent, headquarters is undergoing reform, and there’s a high demand for talented individuals. As your introducer, I’d receive quite a substantial reward. Your Beast Taming Talent is quite impressive, maybe not top-tier, but certainly excellent. If I take you back to headquarters, the rewards will be significant!"

"Recently, Dang Yue has been causing trouble for you. I can help mediate."

"Can Lord Yun mediate?" Chen Jiuge felt intrigued. Unlike himself, Dang Yue is deeply entrenched. Even though Yun Yan is from Dark Star Headquarters, the distance is far, and it wouldn’t be easy to use her identity to subdue Dang Yue.

"Haha, do you think Dang Yue would not care about me?"

Yun Yan sneered, "Indeed, he has no reason to give me face. After all, he has no heirs, the Beast Yard isn’t extensive, and he’s gathered an unknown amount of power beneath him. Just being a headquarters inspector, he surely doesn’t need to heed me."

"But coincidentally, I know what he desires."

As they talked, they reached the door to Dang Yue’s office.

The Dark Hand guards blocked Yun Yan expressionlessly.

"Interesting, I initially thought that the Logistics Department was just the Warehouse Master’s private domain, but it turns out to be true!" Yun Yan stated coldly.

"Hahaha, how could that be?"

Dang Yue personally came out to greet them, turning to the Dark Hand guards, "What are you doing? This is the Beast Master and Wealth Master, are you blind? Go and receive your punishment!"

Watching the silent retreat of the Dark Hand guards, a trace of envy flashed in Chen Jiuge’s eyes—such a solid foundation, having loyal subordinates allows for so much more than what he currently possesses. His own men are a mere few, and not fully trusted!

Knowing that significant matters were about to be discussed, Chen Jiuge had Hong Lei and Han Kui stay outside.

"Gurgle"

Dang Yue personally filled two cups of tea, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity, "What brings both of you to this humble place, anything important?"

If it wasn’t known that the previous assassins were hired by Dang Yue, Chen Jiuge might have thought this guy was a good person.

The seemingly kind old face was incredibly deceptive.

Yun Yan didn’t touch the tea and said directly, "Dang Yue, you should know my identity. I hope you won’t make any moves against Chen Jiuge’s Gladiatorial Arena, and withdraw the Assassination Association’s bounty!"

Dang Yue’s smile froze slightly, then he expressed dissatisfaction, "Wealth Master, what are you talking about?"

"Alright, you’re up in years. Stop with these shenanigans. I’m a headquarters inspector, maybe Chong Yun doesn’t know that, but surely you do?" Yun Yan scornfully stated.

Dang Yue’s face lost its smile, "A headquarters inspector, that’s quite a position. Since you’re being straightforward, no need for me to hide."

"The Gladiatorial Arena involves major matters. I can’t give it up. Chong Yun’s life doesn’t concern me. The one who contacted me about Chong Yun’s internal embezzlement, that was you, right? This Mountain City isn’t worth both inspectors visiting personally!"

"Yes, it was me. I know what you want too!"

"Breaking through the Seventh Level isn’t just about resources. An unwavering conviction is needed. Pardon my bluntness, but there’s no hope for you!"

"Whether there’s hope or not is my concern!"

Dang Yue’s face suddenly twisted with rage, clearly hit by Yun Yan’s words.

"Haha, alright then!"

"I understand what you want; you aim to become Star Lord, using its authority to purchase resources for breaking through the Seventh Level, right?" Yun Yan continued calmly.

"Exactly!"

"With your status, the position of Star Lord surely doesn’t interest you. My biggest competitor is only Fang Lei. Once I take control of the Gladiatorial Arena, the next Star Lord position is mine!" Dang Yue said confidently.

"You’re right, but have you considered what if Fang Lei decides to flip the table?"

"Wherever you are, a clenched fist carries a lot of weight!"

"Impossible!"

Dang Yue furrowed his brow, analyzing, "Although Fang Lei is my rival, he is quite a law-abiding person. Moreover, I’m only pursuing the Star Lord position for the breakthrough resources; the rest I don’t care about."

"I’ve gathered enough resources already. I don’t need to exploit further. By conceding some authority, Fang Lei has no reason to oppose."

"Haha, do you think you’d still want to be a puppet Star Lord if you breakthrough?"

"Fang Lei isn’t a fool. He commands the strongest power. As long as he covets the Star Lord position, you stand no chance, unless you reveal all your cards!"

"And as I said earlier, breaking through the Seventh Level isn’t possible for you!"

"At least not by the conventional cultivation path!"

Dang Yue’s face was grim, but he didn’t refute it this time. He knew himself the improbability of breaking through, but waiting passively for death was not acceptable. With chances still available, he wouldn’t give up!

"Let me give you some advice!"

"What advice?"
