The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 624 Financial Strain_1

"Thunk, thunk, thunk..." The knock on the door rang out once more.

Mo Shaoyun hesitated a bit before walking expectantly to the door to open it.

"As expected, you didn’t go home."

Zhang Xian stood at the entrance, a bitter smile on his face.

Instead of returning to Lingxiao Island after leaving the mountains, he went to the previous hotel he had stayed at. He knew that this woman, Mo Shaoyun, wouldn’t obediently go home.

As expected, when he got here, the room hadn’t been vacated.

"I knew you’d come by."

Mo Shaoyun smirked, "Everyone’s here now, let’s go back!"

"Next time, I won’t bring you along. I definitely won’t." Zhang Xian said angrily.

If only the ancient martial artists were here, Tongzhi County wouldn’t be so dangerous, as the ancient martial arts people wouldn’t focus on him, but rather the mysterious ’Ancient Tomb’. However, with the intervention of God’s Advocate, everything changes. Compared to the ancient martial artists, the intelligence of God’s Advocate is more accurate. Even in a small place like Tongzhi County, it’s hard to avoid the ’eyes’ of God’s Advocate.

Mo Shaoyun retorted angrily, "Dare you!"

"If I say no, then I mean no," Zhang Xian turned around and left.

Mo Shaoyun gritted her teeth, chased after him, "Zhang Xian, what do you mean by that? So what if I didn’t go back?"

"You were lucky today; next time when confronted with such situations, the problem won’t be whether you want to go back but whether you can," Zhang Xian replied.

Zhang Xian glared at Mo Shaoyun, then turned to Qiu Yun and asked, "Brother Qiu, there were no casualties on our side during the ambush, right? Those guys weren’t strong."

"Yes, zero casualties," Qiu Yun chuckled.

Watching Zhang Xian shifting gears and not arguing with her made Mo Shaoyun feel quite uneasy.

However, she knew that this guy, Zhang Xian, had begun to take things seriously. Although Zhang Xian usually indulged them in many ways, she didn’t think she’d get away this time.

As a result, she also withheld her words and followed him obediently.

"What’s the situation on Lingxiao Island now?"

Zhang Xian said, "My phone is dead, so I haven’t called to ask. Generally, it should be pretty built up by now, right?"

"Almost."

Qiu Yun said, "The sect and other buildings are still under construction, but the housing problem has been basically resolved. However, it seems like we are running out of money. That girl Meiting is complaining all the time."

"Uh..."

Zhang Xian laughed bitterly, "Don’t worry about the money, I’ll find a way. There shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Zhang Xian, I am curious how you managed to come back?"

Mickey joked, "Did you give those guys a good beating, then returned here casually, or were you being chased around and returned in a state of disarray?"

"Heh heh..."

Zhang Xian smirked, "So, you’re trying to figure out my bottom line? Fine, I won’t hide it from you, it was a bit of both."

"Did you actually fight with those ancient martial artists?"

Mickey was taken aback, "The ancient martial artists of Huaxia are pretty strong, right? If it weren’t for the overwhelming numbers and power of God’s Advocate, I don’t think they’d dare to mess with you all."

"Actually, we didn’t fight much. Before the fight started, God’s Advocate suddenly showed up, so it was aborted."

Zhang Xian grinned, "However, after I escaped, two ancient martial artists didn’t know what was good for them and tried to mess with me. In the end, I unwillingly wiped them out."

Amond asked, "Those two guys were Grandmasters, weren’t they?"

Zhang Xian answered with a smile, "What do you think? Would two Innate realm masters dare to pursue me and Blood Soul? They practically came asking to die."

"Uh..."

Mickey and Amond were dumbstruck.

Qiu Yun, Jun Wuhen, and others also looked at Zhang Xian in surprise.

There are differences in strength among those at the Grandmaster level. It’s not difficult for the stronger ones to win a fight, but killing opponents is a bit harder.

Could it be that this guy, Zhang Xian, already has the strength to kill Grandmaster level fighters? Isn’t this growth too fast?

"Let’s go, head back."

Zhang Xian said, "We’ve already provoked two powerful enemies. We must establish our homeland. Otherwise, when they attack, we won’t even have a chance to fight back. Right now, our strength is still too weak. Whether it’s the ancient martial arts world or God’s Advocate, if they attack, we will find it hard to resist."

...

Inside a hotel in Tongzhi County.

After waiting a while, Chris suddenly threw his phone away in a fit of rage.

It was already getting light, and the squad who were supposed to arrest Mo Shaoyun hadn’t returned. Nobody answered the phone, they most likely did not make it.

They had lost badly once again in this battle, and it was once again at the hands of Zhang Xian.

"How did this happen?"

A middle-aged man said, "Those guys had a huge head start, Zhang Xian couldn’t have caught up no matter how fast he was. We had two Grandmasters, several others at the Innate realm, how did they just disappear?"

"I also think there’s something fishy about this."

Another middle-aged man said, "Could it be that there are several other strong fighters with Zhang Xian? Our Grandmasters didn’t even have the chance to run away?"

"It must be those damned Mickey and Amond."

Chris gritted his teeth, "With those two, plus other strong fighters, it wouldn’t be difficult to stop our men."

"What do we do now?"

The middle-aged man who spoke first said, "We’ve lost two more grandmasters and several innate masters."

"Damn it...."

Chris gritted his teeth and said, "Start the next plan, we must return all the humiliation we suffered in the past to that bastard Zhang Xian. I want to leave him with no place to be buried."

...

Within Huaxia territory, on Lingxiao Island, in a villa.

Zhang Xian sat on the sofa, looking at the women in front of him with a bit of a headache.

Mo Shaoyun had disappeared for several days after going out with Zhang Xian this time, becoming a target of attack. She sat on the sofa with her head down, not speaking.

There was no way around it, Zhang Xian wasn’t just hers alone. She had monopolized Zhang Xian for several days, so she was naturally somewhat at fault.

"What, not talking anymore?"

Fu Meiting crossed her arms, staring at Zhang Xian, angrily saying, "You have been out for so long without even a phone call, your phone was unreachable. Don’t you know we were all worried about you?"

"Our phones ran out of battery, how could we make a call?" Zhang Xian said with a bitter smile.

Fu Meiting said, "Well then, couldn’t you have reported in when you got back? Anyway, I’m really upset right now, very upset."

"Alright! My fault." Zhang Xian knew that these women were all dissatisfied and just wanted to vent their complaints. At this juncture, he could only go along with them.

If he dared to show off, it wasn’t hard to guess that he wouldn’t have a moment of peace for the next few days. Having so many women around really was a headache!

"That’s more like it."

After giving Zhang Xian a glare, Fu Meiting stretched out her hand and said, "Now that you’ve finished griping, hand over the money. I’m out of spendable cash, and I’m still short a fair sum!"

"Well..."

Zhang Xian said with an awkward smile, "I’ve been a bit tight on money lately. Can you hang in there a bit longer? I’ll raise the money for you as soon as possible."

"How do you expect me to hang on?" Fu Meiting said, "I’m already at the end of my tether."

Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "You’ve run out of everything?"

"Yes, we’re in debt."

Xiao Nan said, "The money you provided isn’t enough. There are too many projects in operation. Right now, we still owe money for the island! If you don’t come up with some more money, the projects won’t be able to continue."

"Well, I’ll get the money over as soon as possible."

Zhang Xian said, "You know as well as I do that we’re not talking about a small sum of money, which is hard to come by at the moment."

"That’s your problem." Zhu Qing wasn’t pleased to say.

Zhang Xian said with a bitter smile, "I know it’s my problem, but don’t you think you should give me some time? Ladies, could you hang on there a bit longer?"

"We really can’t hold out any longer."

Xiao Nan said, "If we delay any longer, we won’t even be able to pay the workers’ wages. The workers are currently working overtime for us, some even voluntarily working night shifts. If we default on their wages, it is totally unjustifiable, right? Do you know how much effort the workers have put into making our island the size it is today?"

"What about asking your families to get some from the bank?" Zhang Xian suggested.

He knew the situation was dire, but he hadn’t come up with a plan to raise money. Even if he were to sell elixir, it would still take time to advertise.

"We’ve practically emptied our family resources, what more do you want us to do?"

Zhu Qing said, "Honey, it’s up to you now! I’ve already taken a lot from my family, and so has Elder Sister Cheng. We’ve thrown all of it into the various projects."

"I’m out of money too."

Xiao Nan said, "Zhang Xian, you’re running too many projects at once, and the total capital required is huge. I feel like we’re barely holding on. If we had known, we should have taken it slowly, one project at a time. Once the newly built resort started making profits, then we could’ve started the next one. That way, we wouldn’t be dragged down."

"Isn’t it all because of this guy?"

Fu Meiting glared at Zhang Xian and said, "Don’t pretend to have abilities that you don’t. You said money wouldn’t be a problem, and look at us now, all of our projects have grounded to a halt."

"Alright..."

Zhang Xian rose to his feet and said, "You guys carry on, I’m heading upstairs to think of a plan."

"You’d better hurry, no more delays," Fu Meiting said angrily.

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile, took to his heels, and ran upstairs as if to escape.

"Ring, ring..."

Just as he had walked into his room, his phone in his pocket started ringing loudly.

"Huh? What does this old guy want, calling me?"

Zhang Xian took out his phone and after hesitating for a moment, answered, "Old Man Han, why did you think to call me today? Do you miss me?"

"Cough, cough, yeah! I haven’t seen you for a while, I miss you a bit. If you have time, could you make a trip to Beijing tomorrow?"

Zhang Xian chuckled and asked, "Any good news?"

"I’ve called you because I have something for you, were you really expecting me to miss you? Dream on."

Zhang Xian chuckled and said, "Okay, I got it. You must think I’m a good guy, and you want to betroth your beloved granddaughter to me, right? It seems that my charm isn’t small!"

"Um, I’m trying to tell you something serious here! Stop having designs on my granddaughter."

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Fine, tell me what this is about first. Otherwise, I can’t be bothered to go over, I don’t have the time either. I’m as poor as a church mouse right now, working hard to make money!"

PS: Thanks to Brother ’Long Xiang’ for the 1888, thanks!
