"Eh, eh..."

Liu Bin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, the amount you requested is indeed substantial, but this black sand isn’t something you’d use up all at once. Our ship aid society can certainly manage the turnover. It’s just that the big brother isn’t here and I can’t make decisions without him. Even if you were to seek other ship aids now, they wouldn’t likely be able to decide either."

"Oh? Why?"

"Today is the birthday of a big figure, and the leaders of the ship aids from nearby towns, all eight or ten miles around, have gone to pay their respects. The decision-makers of other ship aids wouldn’t be at home either."

Liu Bin added with a smile.

Chen Mu said indifferently, "What kind of big figure, warrants such a grand setup?"

Liu Bin said awkwardly, "I really can’t say..."

"So, it seems they are people from Iron Hand Group? That’s actually perfect; saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one. Tell me where they are."

Chen Mu’s tone became a bit colder.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bin faintly sensed something was amiss; his expression changed as he said, "Sir, I really haven’t said anything, I don’t know anything..." Your next read is at novelbuddy

Hissss.

Chen Mu didn’t waste words. With an indifferent expression, he casually raised his right hand and flicked it slightly.

As Liu Bin gaped, an invisible ripple stirred along the edge of Chen Mu’s palm, like an invisible sword qi, swiftly spreading throughout the entire cabin.

Then, for a moment, the entire cargo ship froze. Under Liu Bin’s shocked gaze, centered on the path of Chen Mu’s waving hand, the ship bizarrely displaced itself, splitting neatly into two halves from the middle, revealing a strip of azure sky above!

"Speak."

Chen Mu stood his ground; the half of the ship that was cut off still floated stable as Mount Tai on the river, not sinking, whereas the other half capsized amidst loud noises and terrified screams into the river water.

Liu Bin’s face showed shock and terror as he stumbled backwards two steps and suddenly fell to the ground, rolling toward one side in panic as he watched the rolling river water next to him.

Five Viscera Realm master?!

Or...

Although he was not versed in martial arts, his brother, after all, was a Bone Tempering Realm powerhouse who commanded hundreds in their ship aid society, a local tyrant. Yet his brother could never do something like splitting a cargo ship in half with a casual wave of his hand!

No matter which, the man before him was clearly not someone he could afford to provoke. Now, with his forehead drenched in cold sweat and his face contorted in misery, he said, "This... Sir, please spare me..."

The figure before him was evidently going after the Iron Hand Group, but they were not to be trifled with. Liu Bin knew too well their dreadfulness. Moreover, today was the birthday of a big figure from the Iron Hand Group; if he were found to have pointed the way leading to trouble, afterward, even if he was the ship aid’s manager, he’d likely be flayed and drawn by the Iron Hand Group.

"It seems you know. So speak, or die."

Chen Mu said lightly, then casually pointed a finger, sending an invisible Qi Force piercing through the cabin.

Liu Bin watched as the invisible force bored an hole less than an inch from his neck through the cabin. His chubby face drained of blood and his clothes soaked in sweat, he finally trembled and said, "At... at..."

...

In the middle of Wu River.

A large lake spanned by the waters of Wu River, at its center, stood a gigantic ship, over a hundred meters in length and several stories high, anchored in the river.

Near the ship, several smaller boats were moored not far from its edges.

At this moment,

On the spacious deck of the ship, a lively gathering of figures bustled about. Many tables were set up, with men of various builds and heights each taking their seats — all were leaders of ship aids along the Wu River.

Among them was Liu Bin’s brother, also seated at a table near the corner. He was conversing with the person at the next table, "I heard, Brother Wang, that you recently acquired a batch of girls, each comparable to the leading courtesans of the Flower Pavilions?"

"Hahaha, it’s not that exaggerated! It’s just rumors. It was merely helping out following a disaster in Dongxiang, had them brought in for menial tasks. Brother Liu, if you’re interested, I’ll send some over in a few days to properly serve you."

"Then I won’t be polite, brother."

Liu Bin responded with a hearty laugh.

As they chatted, suddenly, other figures emerged from within the ship, each moving with an invisible momentum and pressure that quickly silenced the crowd.

"They’re here..."

At this, Liu Bin also reined in his smile, his expression turning tense and solemn.

These were all Hall Masters from Iron Hand Group he had dealt with in the past. Each was known to be a Five Viscera Realm master, a level entirely beyond his own Bone Tempering Realm. He dared not show the slightest disrespect in front of these men.

He had thought he was here for the birthday of one of the Hall Masters of the Iron Hand Group, but it turned out to be the elusive Group Leader of the Iron Hand Group, whom he had never met. Rumor had it, the Group Leader was a high-level practitioner in the Six Viscera Realm, an extraordinary figure even among those in such a realm, approaching the ranking of the Wind Cloud List!

To him, such beings were practically godlike, unfathomably superior.

Only a figure of such stature could effortlessly control the ship aids along a thousand miles of Wu River territory, including the County Government, Prefectural Government, and even the government officers from the State Government Office dared not meddle in the affairs of the Iron Hand Group.
