Three hours later, a cheerful chime sounded:"Ding! Congratulations, host – you've gained Heavenly Fate Villain Points +2000."
"Wang Tao! Tian Heng! If what Qin Tian said is true and you dare betray the Black Dragon Society, I'll make you pay a price you can't possibly bear!"Qiu Jiuer seethed in anger as she sat in the backseat of the black Mercedes. These two—one the public spokesperson of the Black Dragon Society (in other words, the current reformed face of the organization), and the other, like Qiu Jiuer herself, a hall master stationed at the Battle Soul Hall (one of the society's three major halls)—were not even worth her disdainful glance. Yet now, every word from Qin Tian was like a finely cut jewel, striking directly at their hearts. He had laid out every detail, from their family backgrounds to the exact sums they'd accepted in bribes. What could possibly be hidden?Once his private investigation confirmed everything, she would deal with them herself. Losing these two generals would be like the Black Dragon Society cutting off its own arms—but it was far better than being betrayed at the critical moment and thrown into an endless hell!
...
Not long after Qiu Jiuer departed, Qin Tian received a phone call from Mu Yuyan.(Source: m...)
"Where on earth did you get the formula for the Beauty Pill?" Mu Yuyan's voice on the phone was filled with shock. She could hardly believe that the beauty pill made from this formula possessed such overwhelming potency! Not only did it visibly enhance and brighten the skin at an astonishing rate, but scientific tests even revealed that it miraculously healed wounds and erased scars. What does that even mean?Doesn't it imply that long-term use of this beauty pill is tantamount to a healing drug—and without any side effects?
Mu Yuyan, who had been immersed in the cosmetics industry for years, suddenly realized just how important this Beauty Pill was. If it were launched, it would undoubtedly spark a market frenzy, with its value and future prospects being virtually limitless!
"It doesn't matter where it came from—what matters is whether you diluted it. How much dilution is needed for it to qualify as a cosmetic product on par with those in the market?" she pressed.
Qin Tian couldn't be bothered to concoct an excuse. He'd simply remain silent; after all, he couldn't very well tell Mu Yuyan that this premium product was a top-shelf creation from the system, could he?
"I've run experiments," Mu Yuyan replied seriously. "Right now, it's diluted fifty times, and its effect far surpasses even the best whitening masks on the market."
Such a product couldn't be launched as it was—it would wreak havoc in the market, and pricing would be chaotic. Further tests were needed to determine the precise dilution ratio."Fifty times?" Qin Tian inhaled deeply. He had personally diluted the formula for you a hundred times—so doesn't that mean the system's original formula was diluted 5,000 times? And even so, its effect still dwarfs that of the best masks on the market?Remember, masks come in different grades: there are budget versions costing only a few bucks, and then there are top-tier ones priced at thousands—even tens of thousands. The precious essences and extracts in those masks are by no means any less valuable than the rare medicinal ingredients in our formula!It seems that the future launch of this Beauty Pill will be an absolute cash magnet!
Mu Yuyan's excitement was palpable as she exclaimed, "I plan to compile a comprehensive market analysis of existing products, and then, based on trials by our R&D team, we'll categorize the formula into three tiers—high-end, mid-range, and low-end—with different pricing for each dilution level…"Over the phone, she babbled on excitedly, chattering like a true chatterbox.
There was no helping it—Mu Yuyan had been venturing from Yanjing to Tianhai for years now. During this time, despite barely scraping by on the family's assets, her net profit had only reached tens of millions, at most a hundred million. She once believed that after years of heavy investment in manpower and resources, a steady development would guarantee annual profits soaring into the hundreds of millions, silencing any gossip within the family.But now?Seeing the enormous potential of the Beauty Pill, Mu Yuyan was convinced that once it hit the market, it would explode in popularity! And if anyone in the family dared to gossip about her and her daughter, she'd deliver a massive slap without hesitation! How could she possibly not be excited?
After a brief pause, she nervously asked, "Qin Tian, how do you plan to split up the production and sales of the Beauty Pill?"
Qin Tian replied nonchalantly, "What else is there to divide? Mu Ren International already has an R&D team and well-established sales channels—these aren't built overnight. With everything in place, why should I bother reinventing the wheel? Just hand over all aspects of production and sales to you, and I'll simply be collecting the money."
Mu Yuyan happily accepted, "Alright! We still need to discuss the details of our cooperation thoroughly. Are you free now? I can wait for you at the company, or you can come back later."
"Don't worry about the cooperation details; someone will handle the negotiations with you," Qin Tian replied with a playful smile, deliberately dodging the question.
For three days, there was no contact between Qin Tian and Mu Yuyan. It was all on purpose—but what about Mu Yuyan? Was she really so busy with the dilution process of the Beauty Pill?Bullshit!That was all the R&D team's responsibility—Mu Yuyan only needed to check the research reports.Holding back for three days before reaching out, and not mentioning a word about that night—was it because she was so busy she forgot, or did she intentionally leave out any mention of the contract?Mu Yuyan kept trying to steer the conversation on the phone, clearly unwilling to hang up, but Qin Tian soon found an excuse and abruptly ended the call.
...
Meanwhile, abroad in a high-end presidential suite, the resolute-faced Ye Feng casually lit a cigarette. After exhaling a thick plume of smoke and a long, measured pause, he slowly looked at the man below and coolly said, "What's the matter?"
The man, exuding an aura of deadly menace, spoke up, "Sir, our people in Congo have been ambushed. The incident is closely tied to the local high-ups—they've been betrayed."
The Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, renowned on the international mercenary battlefields, frequently receives combat assignments from around the world. This time, the team dispatched to Congo was ambushed before even fully deploying into the battlefield—five were killed, and over twenty were injured!
"Bring back the Blood Eagle operatives, and send in Blood Scourge," Ye Feng ordered calmly. His tone, laden with an extreme murderous aura, cut through the tension: "Whoever dares harm a member of Blood Wolf will pay the ultimate price! Whether it's a high-ranking official in Congo or a local gang leader, let Blood Scourge hang the traitor's head on the black market. Let the entire mercenary world know that this is the cost of betraying Blood Wolf!"
After a brief pause, Ye Feng continued, "Starting tomorrow, I will temporarily withdraw. In my absence, Blood Scourge will take over all operations of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. Until I return, Blood Scourge shall be the leader!"His command was absolute—only obedience was acceptable. This was the iron law of Blood Wolf!
Slowly, his subordinates exited the presidential suite. Ye Feng gazed out at the neon-lit skyline, his expression shadowed with a hint of melancholy. Lately, he had been feeling an inexplicable sense of loss—as if he'd lost something vital, though he couldn't quite grasp what it was.It was precisely this unsettling feeling, coupled with Su Xiaoxiao's accusations, that led him to change his plans and decide to return to Huaxia ahead of schedule.
