My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 217: Treasure Battle Conference

News of what happened to the Qifei Group quickly spread throughout Kang City, leaving many shocked.

Fan Shengren, the richest man in the city, had planned to deal with the Qifei Group to avenge his granddaughter, but he temporarily paused his plans. "This Qifei Group is more formidable than I imagined. To secure land and purchase equipment despite the siege and blockade by the Kang City Business Alliance... truly no simple feat! It seems some matters require more long-term planning!"

Of course, the most shocked of all was Qian Nanting. He never expected Duan Nantian to be killed. He trembled uncontrollably, his face ashen, terrified that the Qifei Group would come knocking on his door.

Zou Shengrong and Fan Xiuran also wore grim expressions. Two plans, two failures. If word of this got out, it would be humiliating.

At that moment, the Liang Family Head called him. "Qian Nanting, if you can’t handle it, then just quit! Give your vice-chairman position to someone else. You’re completely useless! Your father was a waste of space, and so are you!"

After cursing at him, the man hung up.

Qian Nanting’s expression was utterly foul. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zou Shengrong and Fan Xiuran. "I’m going to the Provincial City to find an expert! In the meantime, stop targeting the Qifei Group. Halt your attacks and wait for my return!"

In the end, no amount of scheming could stand up to brute force. With overwhelming power, many problems could be solved with ease. That was simply the way of the world.

「On the other side.」

Huang Borren found Yang Qi, and the two discussed matters over a meal.

"Boss, there’s a major event you must be aware of," Huang Borren smiled. "This is a tremendous opportunity!"

"What is it?" Yang Qi asked curiously.

"According to my inside information, the War God King, Yang Qi, will be coming to Kang City soon. It seems he plans to attend a Treasure Competition, perhaps because there’s a Treasure there that he desires. Right now, only we know this news. Although Kang City isn’t large, it’s at the crossroads of the Jiangnan Eight Prefectures, so holding a Treasure Competition here is quite normal. I hope you can attend. If you can get acquainted with the War God King, your future path will be much smoother," Huang Borren said.

"Alright, get me an invitation. I’ll attend this Treasure Competition," Yang Qi nodded.

"However, Boss, you’ll need to prepare at least one Treasure. The Treasure Competition is all about treasures. Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, or Divine Weapons are all acceptable," Huang Borren added.

"Okay, I understand," Yang Qi nodded again.

「Meanwhile.」

The Family Heads of the four major clans of the Kang City Business Alliance had also learned of this. After all, their intelligence networks were formidable. The four of them gathered excitedly to discuss the matter. The Qifei Group was now a trifle in comparison. If they could meet the War God King, that would be truly incredible.

"Hahaha, this is fantastic! The War God King has always been mysterious and rarely reveals his true face in public. This is a golden opportunity for our Kang City Business Alliance!"

"Exactly! Even just glimpsing his true face would be an honor of a lifetime!"

"Merely catching a glimpse isn’t enough. We must find a way to build a good relationship with the War God King. If we succeed, neither the wealthy Fan Family nor the City Lord Mansion will matter anymore!"

"That’s right. The three major powers have been fighting for years without a clear winner, but our Kang City Business Alliance is actually at a disadvantage! The City Lord Mansion has political power, and the Fan Family has wealth! We might be balanced internally, but we fall short compared to them!"

For the Kang City Business Alliance to truly dominate Kang City, they had to suppress both the Zhao Family and the Fan Family. This time, they had to seize this opportunity to get acquainted with the War God King. With his support, they would surely succeed.

In their eyes, all other matters became trivial and not worth mentioning. This was of paramount importance. They had to investigate everything thoroughly: when the War God King would arrive, and whether it would be by plane or high-speed rail. As for the Qifei Group, that could be set aside for now.

Similarly, the wealthy Fan Family also received this news.

Fan Shengren sat in a grand traditional armchair with the air of a sage, but his spirit seemed somewhat deflated—a clear sign of his illness. His sons and grandsons sat around him. The more capable and esteemed his children and grandchildren were, the closer they sat to him. For instance, third-generation members like Fan Ruobing and Fan Jian, because of their abilities, were even permitted to sit among the second generation.

Fan Jian was a formidable figure. He had seized an opportunity to marry a fine woman, and his fortunes had soared ever since. Although his wife had since passed away, he had already established his own dynasty within the family, which was now brimming with talent—a true vision of prosperity.

Everyone said the Fan Family was wealthy, but few knew that their network of connections was also extremely extensive, not the least bit inferior to the Zhao Family or the Kang City Business Alliance. Because they were a single family, they were more unified than the alliance and, therefore, more dominant.

The person seated closest to Fan Shengren was his eldest son, Fan Hongtu.

Fan Hongtu had pursued a career in government and currently served as a high-ranking deputy commander in the Kang City Defense Forces. Naturally, his access to information was better. At that moment, he was telling his father about the War God King.

"Is this true?" Upon hearing that the War God King was actually coming to Kang City for a Treasure Competition, Fan Shengren shot to his feet, overcome with excitement. The person he admired most in his life was the War God King, and he had always longed to see the man’s true face. Could it be that his wish was about to come true?

"There’s no mistake! I took the liberty of purchasing an invitation to the Treasure Competition. It wasn’t cheap, but it’s a trivial expense for our Fan Family. However, bringing a Treasure is a mandatory requirement, so I’ll have to rely on you to find one, Father," Fan Hongtu said.

"Excellent, you’ve done well! Don’t worry about the Treasure! The Fan Family has plenty to spare!" Fan Shengren was overjoyed.

Fan Hongtu continued, "The security for this Treasure Competition is being handled by our Defense Forces. I will be on-site and will personally inspect every single person who enters. It’s said that the War God King plans to meet with the notables of Kang City. He has a small matter to discuss with everyone. Father, you absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

"What is it about?" Fan Shengren asked. "You must find out the details so we can prepare accordingly!"

"Rumor has it that the War God King was wounded on the battlefield, and even the renowned doctors in the Capital City couldn’t cure him. He’s attending the Treasure Competition for two reasons. First, to find a medicinal cure. Second, it seems a National Medicine expert advised him to try his luck here in Kang City," Fan Hongtu explained.

"A cure, you say? That is our Fan Family’s specialty," Fan Shengren declared. "Ruobing, immediately gather all the renowned doctors from Shengren Hall. Select the most brilliant among them to accompany us to the Treasure Competition!"

"Don’t worry, Grandfather, I understand!" Fan Ruobing smiled, equally thrilled.

She was quite confident in her own beauty. If she managed to catch the War God King’s eye, wouldn’t she become the next War God Queen?
