Chapter 142: Taking Over the Medicine Alliance

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Taking Over the Medicine Alliance

In an instant, his eyes went wide. He simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing!

What was this!

So many black-robed figures!

Based on the feeling he got when he fought one of them earlier...

Every single one of these black-robed figures was absolutely above the Early-Star Stage!

If all their strengths were roughly the same...

He drew a sharp breath.

The hairs on his body stood on end, and a bone-chilling cold enveloped him.

’Fucking hell!’

Over a hundred experts at the Star Level!

Terrifying. This was absolutely terrifying!

At the same time, Kong Jian also assessed the situation. He never imagined Ye Yunyi would command such a force.

He had naively thought about escaping just a moment ago, but he hadn’t expected Ye Yunyi to have already set up an inescapable net around the area.

It seemed the Medicine Alliance had picked a fight with the wrong person today!

A very, very tough one at that.

Over here, the group of higher-ups stood frozen.

Like a bunch of frightened chicks.

Every one of them knew why this was happening.

They were all privy to the inside story.

Now, seeing Kong Jian’s miserable state, they all lowered their heads.

Each of them frantically calculated their next move.

Seeing that most of the higher-ups had arrived, Kong Jian didn’t know what Ye Yunyi planned to do.

He looked at Ye Yunyi. "Lord Ye, the Medicine Alliance was in the wrong this time. Name your price, and I will compensate you."

"Straight to the point!"

A smirk played on Ye Yunyi’s lips as he listened to Kong Jian.

"Since you put it that way, how about you compensate me with your entire Medicine Alliance!"

"From now on, everything the Medicine Alliance owns is mine. And all of you Alchemists will work for me. Any objections?!"

BOOM!

His words struck them like a thunderclap.

Especially Kong Jian!

He had been prepared to suffer a huge loss this time, but he never expected Ye Yunyi to propose such a condition!

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

As Kong Jian spoke, the higher-ups instantly looked up!

Their eyes, filled with defiance, all fixed on Ye Yunyi.

The next moment!

CRACK!

SQUELCH!

Ye Yunyi appeared directly in front of Kong Jian and stomped on his head!

After his head deformed under the pressure!

It exploded!

In an instant!

"Ah?!"

"You... you actually!"

"Alliance Leader!"

...

No one had expected Ye Yunyi to make such a move. They all trembled uncontrollably.

It was only at this very moment that they felt true, unadulterated terror!

The man before them was a true demon!

’He’ll really kill us!’

This was real!

The heads they had just raised in defiance were now lowered once more.

The last vestiges of resistance in their eyes vanished.

After a moment, one of the higher-ups looked at Ye Yunyi. "Lord Ye! From now on, we will follow your every command!"

"We agree to the condition you just proposed!"

"We will do our work properly!"

"We beg you, please spare our lives!"

He stammered out these few sentences, his voice trembling.

As he spoke, the others all stiffened.

Ye Yunyi nodded in satisfaction. "Alright. From now on, we’ll do as you’ve said. As for the rest of you, does anyone have a different opinion?"

Everyone: "..."

’Isn’t that a fucking rhetorical question?’

’Who would dare have an opinion!’

’The cautionary tale is right there, isn’t it?’

’Anyone who objects will probably end up like Kong Jian, with their head stomped into mush like a watermelon!’

They complained furiously in their hearts, but not a single one of them dared to speak a word of it aloud.

Just then, seeing the tension ease, one man stepped forward.

He put on a fawning smile and approached Ye Yunyi. "My Lord, allow me to take you to inventory the Medicine Alliance’s assets."

"Mm."

Ye Yunyi nodded.

He then followed the man out.

After a short while.

"My Lord, this is the first pharmacy. The medicines we’ve refined are inside. Please take a look, here is the inventory list."

With that, the man presented a small booklet. Ye Yunyi took a look.

Whoa!

’Damn, these guys really have refined a lot of medicine!’

The medicine in this pharmacy alone numbered two hundred thousand!

Ye Yunyi then opened the door and went inside.

As he entered, a thick medicinal fragrance washed over him.

Ye Yunyi looked around.

He had to admit, it really wasn’t bad.

Although these items weren’t as top-grade as the ones he refined himself, the ingredients used were decent enough, so the quality was still acceptable.

At this moment, every pill was sealed away.

Even so, their fragrance still wafted out from their containers.

It filled the entire area.

Afterward, Ye Yunyi began to wander around the premises.

The second location!

The third!

The fourth!

He had to say... Ye Yunyi was getting progressively more excited!

What an immense fortune this was!

In this post-apocalyptic world, medicine was the treasure of treasures!

And there was just so much of it here!

It was a terrifying amount!

「Meanwhile.」

The entire Fire Barrier had received the news.

The Medicine Alliance had picked a fight with someone they couldn’t afford to offend!

Upon hearing the news, a certain Patriarch shot up from his seat.

He went to the main hall and immediately summoned the family’s higher-ups.

He explained the situation.

The assembled higher-ups immediately burst into an uproar.

They never expected something like this to happen in such a short time.

"What do you all think? Should I go and support the Medicine Alliance? After all, we’ve been cooperating with them for so long and have invested a lot of resources into them. Now that they’re in trouble, we..."

The Patriarch trailed off, his eyes filled with hesitation.

Below, the higher-ups also had conflicted expressions.

After a long silence, one of them finally spoke. "Patriarch, I don’t think we can help the Medicine Alliance in this matter!"

"We may have invested a lot of resources in them, but we must be clear about who it is they’re up against this time!"

"This is the person who brutally slaughtered three powerful Mid-Star Stage Mutants!"

"In other words, this person is at least at the Late-Star Stage, or maybe even the Half-Step King Level!"

"Even you, Patriarch, might not be a match for him. And I’ve heard he’s backed by the Eighth King General!"

These words silenced the Patriarch. He himself was a Late-Star Stage Mutant, but even he wasn’t confident he could slaughter three battle-hardened Mid-Star Stage Mutants in such a short time.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

Then, the same person spoke again. "Moreover, this man is also a veteran Alchemist, likely even more skilled than Kong Jian. Since that’s the case, it’s as if we just need to ingratiate ourselves with a new power. If we do, we might get even more and better medicine in the future."

Hearing this, the Patriarch nodded.

He was quite clear-headed.

’There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests!’

The other higher-ups listened and also nodded in agreement.

They all started speaking up.

"Patriarch, I think we should prepare some gifts and head over now to congratulate Lord Ye on acquiring the Medicine Alliance."

"Yes, I agree. The other families will probably do the same. If we go first, it shows our sincerity."

"Patriarch, what do you think?"
