My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 375: Destined to face a calamity?

"Mr. Ye is indeed a wise man!"

Upon hearing Ye Fei's inquiry about the acquisition price, Kong Yue assumed he was conceding. A pleased smirk touched his lips as he said coolly, "Qifei Group isn't bad. Our Kong Family has prepared two billion for the acquisition!"

Everyone present was stunned. Did the Kong Family think they were all suckers? Qifei Group's current market value was nearly twenty billion, yet they wanted to acquire it for a mere two billion. Even the company's fixed assets alone were worth more than that. The offer was utterly ridiculous.

Li Qingyan said angrily, "Kong Yue, is your Kong Family dreaming? Do you really think you can do whatever you want in Kang City? Two billion? To acquire Qifei Group? That might be enough for our Energy Pill formula, but that's about it. This is just absurd!"

Kong Yue laughed triumphantly. "Ms. Li, offering two billion is already a show of respect. To tell you the truth, I originally planned to acquire it for one hundred million. It was my father, in his benevolence, who raised the price to two billion. If you know what's good for you, you'll accept. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't get a single penny, and Qifei Group will be destroyed!"

Arrogant, tyrannical, and shameless. This was the Kong Family's way. Everyone knew it, but they had never expected Kong Yue to be so brazenly contemptuous.

"Alright, enough nonsense. If Ms. Li and Mr. Ye wish to walk away from this in one piece, you'll sign the contract obediently!"

Kong Yue waved his hand, and one of his men immediately threw the contract onto the table. He smiled smugly, as if he had both of them completely under his control.

"In your dreams!" Li Qingyan snatched the contract and threw it directly into a nearby trash can, her expression furious. "Since its founding, there have always been people targeting Qifei Group. Cao Kun of the Cao Family also tried to take our company, but he didn't succeed. None of them ever have! I don't believe your Kong Family will be any different! Besides, this is Kang City, not Thunder City!"

Ye Fei remained silent, glancing at the time as he waited for Yang Qi. Honestly, if Yang Qi wasn't coming, I might have actually sold the company for everyone's safety. Against a madman like this, there seems to be no other choice.

"Mr. Ye! Ms. Li! You should just sign. We can't afford to offend the Kong Family. I know you feel wronged and humiliated, but there's nothing we can do!" someone pleaded. Many others nodded in agreement.

"What do you mean, there's nothing to be done? Are you afraid the Kong Family is going to eat you?" a voice suddenly rang out from outside the conference room as Yang Qi pushed the door open and strode in.

Seeing Yang Qi, Ye Fei breathed a huge sigh of relief. He had finally made it back. Otherwise, this situation would have become truly troublesome.

"Yang Qi! What are you doing here?" Kong Yue frowned at the sight of him. Back in Thunder City, his attempts to deal with Yang Qi had failed because of the Lei Mansion's presence, causing him to lose a great deal of face. This grudge had long been established. He never expected that just as he was about to succeed in acquiring Qifei Group, Yang Qi would be the one to show up and interfere.

Honestly, I'd love to slaughter Yang Qi on the spot to vent my frustration.

Yang Qi walked toward Kong Yue with a sneer. "And here I was, wondering who it was. Turns out it's just the piece of trash that got thrown out of Bian Que Hall. Who gave you the guts to come to Kang City and run wild?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Kong Yue hadn't witnessed the fight between Yang Qi and Wu Hongda, nor had he seen the showdown on the Life and Death Platform. After all, only the top figures of Thunder City were able to get near the platform that day, and Kong Yue simply wasn't qualified.

"Who are you calling trash!" Kong Yue was furious.

"Who else would I be talking about but you? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the Provincial City and play the part of a rich young master? Did you have to come to Kang City to court death?" Yang Qi sneered.

Kong Yue angrily retorted, "Don't think that just because the Lei Mansion is backing you, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you frankly, the Lei Mansion isn't having an easy time these days. They can't protect you completely. My Kong Family is one of the six great families of the Provincial City, and we are certainly not inferior to the Lei Mansion. I advise you to stop being stubborn. Just sign the contract, take the money, and go enjoy a carefree life. Why risk your life over a little pride!"

"We'll see who dies. Now, get out of Qifei Group immediately! This is my friend's company." With that, Yang Qi grabbed Kong Yue and tossed him aside.

"You're courting death!" The muscular man beside Kong Yue roared, throwing a punch at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi didn't make a move. A figure darted out from the crowd and met the man's punch with his own. The muscular man stumbled back four or five steps, his arm trembling uncontrollably.

The one who had struck was Iron Heart.

Iron Heart was now a Fourth Rank Great Grandmaster at Perfection, while this muscular man was at most a Fourth Rank Great Grandmaster at Great Achievement. He was simply no match for Iron Heart.

Seeing this, Kong Yue's expression soured. He shot a venomous glare at Ye Fei. "Remember this, Mr. Ye! The consequences for refusing to sell Qifei Group to us are something you absolutely cannot afford!"

"Get out!" Yang Qi bellowed.

Frightened, Kong Yue hastily fled the conference room, his group of lackeys scampering out after him.

Once outside the building, Kong Yue's expression was grim. "I didn't expect that Yang Qi would have such a powerful expert by his side!"

"Young Master Kong, I'm sorry," the muscular man said, shaking his head. "I am no match for him. That man is at least a Fourth Rank Great Grandmaster at Perfection!"

"It doesn't matter," Kong Yue shook his head. "If a direct approach doesn't work, we'll use underhanded tactics. Besides, we don't need to confront Yang Qi directly right now. He'll be a dead man soon enough!"

"Is it because of what happened with Cao Kun?" the muscular man asked.

Kong Yue nodded. "Yes. The death of Cao Kun has shocked the entire Thunder Sect. Lord Lei is already on his way back. He plans to personally deal with Yang Qi and Qifei Group!"

"What!" The muscular man's expression changed drastically. "Lord Lei is going to take action himself? Heavens, it's been ten years since he last made a move, hasn't it? Back then, he was already one of the top ten masters of Jingnan Prefecture. He must be even more terrifying now."

"Indeed," Kong Yue mused. "My family's elder says that Lord Lei could probably rank in the top five of Jingnan Prefecture now. If he truly wants to kill someone, practically no one in the prefecture can stop him. Speaking of which, it's quite an honor for Yang Qi to warrant Lord Lei's personal attention. Still, he is doomed."

The muscular man couldn't help but get excited. "That's fantastic! With Yang Qi gone, Qifei Group will be toothless! The Lei Mansion will have no reason to protect them, and we can seize the opportunity to take over the company!"

"Mm. That's why we shouldn't try to crack this tough nut ourselves. Let the Thunder Sect deal with him. Our job is to find ways to make things difficult for Qifei Group in the meantime. If we can manage to take it over in the chaos, all the better." A cunning light flashed in Kong Yue's eyes.

「Three days later.」

In the Provincial City, the Thunder Sect—one of the Four Gates and Six Families—was situated in a picturesque landscape. For ordinary people, this place was a Forbidden Land. No one was allowed to approach without the sect's permission. Anyone who dared to trespass was undoubtedly courting death.
