Chapter 49 - Seizing Unique Treasure Hall

“Tenth Elder, let’s seize Unique Treasure Hall as the rules of the competition stated.”

“Things will change if we delay it. My graduation assessment is approaching, and I might not have time to come out later on.”

Wu Mo held a glass of an iced drink that he had just bought from a shop and spoke with a satisfied expression.

The tenth elder immediately nodded and agreed. “Alright, Mr. Wu. I’ll follow your lead. I’ll inform Little Gao about it now and ask him to bring the contract that the Wei family’s steward signed.”

“Okay,” Wu Mo responded softly.

Although he appeared to be indifferent, he was still looking forward to it.

He was looking forward to what kind of surprise Unique Treasure Hall would bring him. Could he gather all the materials needed to refine a Divine weapon, especially the most precious Legendary Essence?

He had to obtain it.

Unique Treasue Hall was a well-known chamber of commerce in Shanglin City, after all. A few years of development should give it a great foundation.

Moreover, it was said that Unique Treasure Hall was backed by an army.

Wu Mo’s success in refining the thunder god’s hammer depended on the abundance of resources in Unique Treasure Hall.

The two of them waited in a cafe for a while, and not long after, Manager Gao Yue rushed over with the contract.

“Thank you for your hard work, Manager Gao.”

Wu Mo looked at the handprint, as well as the signature, on the contract, and the smile on his face became much brighter.

Manager Gao took two deep breaths, picked up the paper on the table, and wiped his sweat. “It’s nothing. Everything’s worth it if I can help you, Mr. Wu,” he said.

The tenth elder, who was sitting next to them, handed them drinks. The three of them rested for a moment before they promptly headed toward Unique Treasure Hall.

Their carriage was fast. Even though the path was busy, it still moved unimpeded.

In less than ten minutes, the carriage stopped by the side of the road. Wu Mo was the first to get out of the carriage. He immediately saw the chamber of commerce not far away with the “Unique Treasure Hall” plaque hanging on it.

Unique Treasure Hall covered more than a thousand square meters. The magnificence of its decor was not much different from that of Treasure Pavilion.

However, its entrance was deserted. There was not a single person there.

“Mr. Wu, let’s go over. Based on the agreement we made, we will take all the materials acquired by Unique Treasure Hall and hand them over to you,” Manager Gao Yue said with a serious face.

The tenth elder nodded, approving of Little Gao’s actions.

“Alright, we should go in first. If they dare hide anything, I’ll let you handle it,” Wu Mo waved his hand and spoke somewhat shyly.

The three of them soon arrived at Unique Treasure Hall’s entrance.

At this time, a receptionist in uniform suddenly turned pale when she saw Manager Gao Yue outside.

Although she did not witness the competition between the two chambers of commerce, after learning that the Wei family’s young master had been seriously injured and hospitalized, she put two and two together.

Now, Treasure Pavilion’s store manager, Gao Yue, had clearly come with the purpose of taking over Unique Treasure Hall.

While the receptionist knew that possession of Unique Treasure Hall was about to be transferred, she still found it hard to accept the quick arrival of Treasure Pavilion’s people.

“What are you looking at? Why aren’t you getting your manager? We’re here to seize Unique Treasure Hall!”

Seeing that the other party was not responding immediately, the tenth elder’s expression turned cold. The aura of a high-level cultivator instantly burst forth, causing a chill to run down the receptionist’s spine.

“You three men, what are you doing, bullying a girl?”

At that moment, a young man in a blacksmith uniform quickly walked out from within Unique Treasure Hall. There were quite a few people following him from behind. Among them were Manager Wei Ying and a few other cultivators who had been present during the competition.

“What a grand display. Don’t tell me you’re trying to deny it?”

The tenth elder snorted coldly. His expression was ice-cold as he looked at the two cultivators behind Wei Ying. His clothes rippled, and a terrifying aura spread out, immediately causing the dozen or so cultivators to breathe heavily.

Wu Mo looked at the tenth elder in surprise. He did not expect the spirit energy in the man’s body to be so dense. He estimated that the elder was at least a five-star cultivator.

Wei Ying stared at Wu Mo sharply, and he could not stop the muscles in his face from trembling. Following a moment of hesitation, he still chose to let him pass.

He slowly walked to the side, and the surrounding people instantly revealed disappointed expressions. They did not want to hand over Unique Treasure Hall just like that. Everything there was the result of their joint efforts.

It had not been easy for them to make a name for themselves, and it had not been easy for them to obtain more than 30% of the market share in Shanglin City. Everything they had accomplished was about to go up in smoke!

“According to the rules, we will be taking over Unique Treasure Hall from now on. All unrelated individuals, please leave,” Gao Yue held the contract and said arrogantly.

He was not afraid that the other party would tear up the contract. After all, the Wei family’s steward had put his handprint down in front of countless cameras. If they actually pulled any stunts, others would definitely look down on the Wei family.

It was not worth it for the Wei family to risk the world just to protect Unique Treasure Hall.

Moreover, even if they were to make a move, the two cultivators behind Wei Ying might not be a match for the tenth elder.

Despite his intense hatred for the people of Treasure Pavilion, Wei Ying could only do as he was told.

Not long after, the tenth elder cleared out all the people in Unique Treasure Hall. Many of the staff stood at Unique Treasure Hall’s entrance with dumbfounded looks on their faces. They had yet to process the sudden change.

Seven to eight blacksmiths of different levels were thrown into the sun, and they watched helplessly as Wu Mo and the others put out the fire in the furnace where they were still burning materials.

“Unique Treasure Hall’s warehouse is on the second floor, right? Hurry up and open the warehouse door. We would like to conduct an inspection. If you try anything, I’ll get the mayor here to deal with the matter,” the tenth elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.

Wei Ying’s expression was extremely horrendous, and the people behind him were also ashen-faced.

The materials in the warehouse were the foundation of Unique Treasure Hall. They were worth more than several dozen million yuan. How could they willingly give everything up just like that?

Sadly, they had no other choice now. They could only follow the other party’s request!

“I’ll give it to you!”

Wei Ying threw the silver warehouse key over, and thetenth elder easily caught it.

“Very good. Once we’re done taking inventory, you can leave. But before that, please stay here and don’t move.”

The tenth elder’s beard rustled, and the smile on his face did not disappear even though Wei Ying made his hatred obvious.

Seeing the arrogant look on the old fellow’s face, Wei Ying almost ground his teeth to dust.

However, the elder’s strength was far above theirs. Any attack from them would be useless. Moreover, the Wei family’s reputation might be affected, so Wei Ying could only try his best to endure.

“Mr. Wu, let’s make our way to the warehouse,” the tenth elder said to Wu Mo after he snorted coldly.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the warehouse on the second floor. The tenth elder used the key to unlock the heavy door and pushed it open.

The moment they saw the scene inside, the three of them were moved.
