A deity statue was actually related to the rise and fall of an entire corporation. This was truly a miracle, what kind of deity statue could have such a magical function?

Could it be that the statue that Zhou Dong was talking about was the God of Fortune? But thinking about it, even if it was the God of Fortune, it didn't have such a huge effect. To worship a statue of a deity was just a form of psychological comfort or hope, it depended on one's own sacrifice.

However, from Zhou Dong's words and actions, it seemed that his devotion to this statue was beyond ordinary. Logically speaking, Zhou Dong should be a shrewd and rational person, he would definitely not be infatuated with the deity statue to such an extent.

What was the reason for this? What kind of statue was this?

If I wanted to understand the reason, I would probably need to personally see the statue. Thinking about this, I said, "Zhou Dong, can you please invite the statue out so I can have a look?"

This deity statue is the most important part of the whole affair, it was a very normal course of action, but Zhou Dong's entire body shuddered, he looked at me warily and said: "Little Tian, listen to me first, the reason I invited you here today is to ask you to help me find the kidnappers, as long as you can find them …"

"Director Zhou, finding out the whereabouts of the kidnappers and capturing them are matters of law enforcement. As I'm from outside the country, it's not appropriate for me to interfere in these matters." This time, I appeared to be very calm. After I finished speaking, I stood up and cupped my fist. "I will take my leave now."

"Wait a minute, do you really not want to help?"

"It's not that I don't want to help, but I also have my own rules. As long as I don't have anything to do with Yao Xie or the others, it would be inconvenient for me to get involved. "I shall advise Director Zhou that if you want your family to return safely, you should trust the law enforcement agencies. This is their specialty."

Director Zhou sighed and said, "Alright, I won't hide it anymore. This matter isn't something that the law enforcement can handle. I still need a Daoist like you."

"Since you really want my help, then don't hide anything from now on. Otherwise, rather than end up with a bad ending, why don't you leave now?"

Mr. Zhou came to my side, stretched out his hand and said: "Please come with me."

Zhou Dong then walked to the third floor, which had a very unique layout. There was a very small living room with very simple furnishings. There was only a table and a few chairs. Compared to the two floors of the villa, this place was like a slum.

Director Zhou didn't say anything. He walked straight to the wall and didn't notice that the table was slowly moving to the side. Soon, a small invisible door appeared on the left wall.

"Please come in."

Entering the dark room, the table that he had entered earlier was placed in the middle. Zhou Dong walked up to the table and knocked on it a few times. Then the table sank down again.

Mr Zhou wiped away his earlier gloom and stared at the statue with glowing eyes. "Little Tian, this is the God of Fortune I was talking about. He's the one who brought the entire Zhou Group today."

I only took a glance at the idol and immediately cursed in my heart. 'Fuck, how is this the God of Fortune? He looks just like the God of Ghosts worshipped by a cult!' It was pitch black in color, with a broad mouth and a face full of mane. It actually had six arms that stretched out at will.

I looked at Director Zhou in astonishment and asked, "Is this the statue you spoke of?"

At this moment, all of Zhou Dong's thoughts were focused on the deity statue. His trembling hands caressed the glass box, as if he was seeing his newborn grandson for the first time.

At the same time, I suddenly felt something strange happening within my body. I sensed it and discovered that it was a movement that came from the Art of Soulreaper. The power of the Art of Soulreaper wasn't as tranquil as before, instead, it was constantly fluctuating.

There was even a very bad feeling, as if I had been possessed by some strange demonic art that controlled my thoughts. It made me have an impulse to possess the deity statue. For a moment, my mind was in a daze.

I forcefully pinched my pulse. The pain made me feel much more clear-headed. I immediately held my breath as I looked at the deity statue in front of me. I didn't know if it was the environment, but I actually saw the deity statue's eyes flash.

Just what is this? It has such great power that even I was almost struck by it.

Looking at Director Zhou now, he was no longer as astute and astute as before. He was in a completely deranged state. Fortunately, in his eyes, there was only the statue of the God in front of him.

My own experience, coupled with Zhou Dong's current craziness, gave me a final judgement on the deity statue inside the glass box. This is definitely not the God of Fortune, and definitely not a deity statue.

I don't have a clue what it is, but it doesn't matter if I don't know what it is, as long as I can be sure it's an ominous thing.

Thinking of this, I walked to the side of Director Zhou and patted him on the shoulder. "Director Zhou, I've seen what I should have seen. Let's go out."

The moment I finished speaking, Director Zhou suddenly returned to his previous attitude as if he had been a completely different person. He said, "This is the god of wealth of our Zhou Group, and it's of no use even to outsiders like you. I hope you don't spread it."

Returning to the living room on the second floor, I looked at Director Zhou who had completely recovered and said, "Can you tell me how you managed to get this Supreme Being …? "God statue, how did you rely on it to make the Zhou Group grow?"

At first, he was only a dozen or so people. When he was digging up the mountain and digging up the foundation, he found a very small tomb. When he opened the tomb, he found that it was not a real grave, but more like a storage room.

At first, Zhou Dong wanted to exchange the statue for a few coins, but after he brought it back home, instead of selling it, he even started to worship it.

At first, Director Zhou only treated it as an ordinary idol, and it only took three incense sticks of time to burn. This amount of time was more than a year's worth of time, and during this year, the rise and fall of Director Zhou's career did not have any big ups and downs.

At the end of that year, Director Zhou received a very big project, but he did not expect someone to set him up. Not only did it make him go bankrupt, but it also made him extremely indebted.

At this moment, Zhou Dong felt like he was going to die. At night, when he returned home drunk, he saw the idol being worshipped, and could not help but curse at Bai Yu for not bringing him any good fortune. On the contrary, he even ended up like this.

But at this moment, the deity statue showed up and pointed out a way for Director Zhou to make a fortune.

Following the deity statue's instructions, in a short span of three years, Director Zhou not only paid off his external debt, but also established the Zhou Group.
