Chapter 2 - 2

A few moments later, a black coloured Rolls Royce left the villa at high speed.

This Rolls Royce was not a normal car but had been modified. It is completely bulletproof and can even withstand a small bomb explosion. Even a First Rate Warrior won't be able to damage it in a short time.

Sea Side City is a small second rate city in Great Zhou Dynasty. There are three top families in Sea Side City namely Su, Wang and Lin Family. There are many powerful masters in the family and each one have a net worth of one billion profound crystals.

Profound crystals is the currency used in Absolute beginning continent after spiritual qi recovery. They are the same as Spirit stones in fantasy novels and can help in a person cultivation.

Chu Xu is not from Sea Side City but from the Imperial City. The Chu Clan is also situated there. The reason why he came to Sea Side City is because a branch of Chu Clan business is located in the city.

However, some time ago the company faced a big problem.

The Lin Family, one of the top three families in Sea Side City, also recently got involved in Jade business. It directly affected the business of branch company. If it would have been only this, then they might still have a chance to make a comeback.

But what shocked them even more is the speed at which the Lin Family industry is developing.

To start this business, one needs to have a constant supply of Jade to process them and convert them into jewelries or accessories. And this is also the most important and difficult step.

To have a constant supply of Jade, the companies sign an agreement with other companies who are involved in mining of these stones.

And even then, it depends on luck to obtain them. Because before cutting the stones nobody knows whether it will contain Jade or is empty.

The probability of containing Jade in these stones is very low. Especially the high quality Jade are very difficult to find. Among hundred or even thousands of stones only one or two pieces of high quality Jade can be found.

But this doesn't seem to be a problem for Lin Family. They have a large supply of them. The stones they bring back from mines, almost everyone among them contain Jade.

If it only would have been this they would not be so miserable. But the problem is that the selling price of these jewelries they process is lower than the market price. Because of this almost every person in Sea Side City is going to their stores to buy Jewelries.

Although the people who can buy these Jewelries are all rich people but who would be unwilling, if you can save money.

If this goes on like this, then it will not be long when the Lin Family will completely occupy the Jade market in Sea Side City.

The branch company of Chu Clan tried various methods to overcome the crises but to no avail. They even tried to use force but failed miserably. At last, they had no choice but to contact the higher ups and ask for help.

The Chu Clan business is very vast and is involved in almost every field from Jade market to technology, pharmaceutical, automobiles., etc and many more. It's because it is so vast that it is jointly managed by many people but the leader is still Chu Xu mother.

When his mother got the news about the branch company problem, she wanted to send someone to help. And it just so happened that Chu Xu was on a vacation near Sea Side City. So his mother called and asked him to help her solve this problem. And thus, here he is.

But Chu Xu who has transmigrated and had read the novel jn his previous life knows, that the reason why Lin Family can progress so fast is indispensable from the protagonist Qin Chen.

The protagonist is actually a foreign mercenary or can also be called Mercenary king.

Qin Chen was originally, the son of Qin Long, patriarch of Qin Family. More than ten years ago, the Qin Family was also a medium sized family in Sea Side City with the net worth of around 100 million.

But ten years ago, one day, the enemies of Qin Family joined hands to deal with them. The Qin Family was destroyed overnight and all the members of the family were slaughtered.

Only Qin Chen was able to survive because even after having a chance, his father and mother did not choose to escape and sacrificed their life to buy him time to run away.

After Qin Chen survived, somehow he was able to leave to Great Zhou Dynasty safely. After leaving the dynasty, he ventured outside to many places and became a mercenary. Later, he established his own mercenary team and became it's leader.

Along with his team, he successfully completed many missions, fought many wars and achieved victory in many battles and became famous. In just short five years, he and his mercenary team made a name for themselves and he was given the title of Mercenary king.

But in his fame, Qin Chen did not forgot the reason for what he became strong.

He wanted to avenge his parents and family members. Only by killing those people who massacred his family can he resolve the hatred in his heart.

However, he also knew that although he has become strong he still cannot go back to take revenge. It's because the Great Zhou Dynasty has strict rules and he cannot always use violence to solve all the problems.

Once he goes back, he will be bound by those rules and cannot easily kill someone. Otherwise, he will end up becoming the enemy of whole dynasty which he does not want.

Therefore, for next five years, he only occasionally took missions and spent most of his time to create a business empire. A force that he could use to solve the problem on bright side and legally.

After five years of hard work, he finally built a company called "Morning Star" with a net worth of one billion. It was only after this that he came back to Sea Side City to take revenge.

After coming back, he first find out the information of all the people who were involved in the destruction of Qin Family 10 years ago. And then started with destroying their business first, making them bankrupt, losing all their wealth and then finally killed them secretly.

Anyway, after they lost their status and wealth, nobody will care about them whether they live or die. Not even the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But as he was taking revenge, he discovered some shocking things. He found out that the people involved in the destruction of Qin Family were only pawns and were following others order. The real mastermind behind the scenes were the two out of the top three families in Sea Side City -- Su and Wang Family.

Although, he did not found the reason why they wanted to deal with his family, which cannot be even counted among the upper level forces of Sea Side City. Nevertheless, it did not stop him from being angry and he vowed in his heart that he will definitely destroy both families and avenge this family members. But it was easier said than done.

As the saying goes "A mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake". Although his business was comparable to the two families but the those two families had been established in Sea Side City for hundred of years and has deep roots. It is not easy to uproot and destroy them.

That's when he came up with the idea of cooperating with Lin Ruoshi whom he met due to a coincidence. Lin Ruoshi is the daughter of the patriarch of Lin Family, also one of the top three families in Sea Side City. She also has another identity that is she is the first heroine in the novel.

If he can successfully cooperate with Lin Family. It will be much easier for him to gain foothold in the city in a short amount of time and to fight against the Su and Wang Family. Of course this is the second reason.

The first reason, he want to cooperate with them is naturally, because of Lin Ruoshi. The first time he saw her, he was fascinated by her beauty and decided to win her. By cooperating with Lin Family not only he can fight against his enemies Su and Wang Family as well as he will also have more opportunity to come into contact with Lin Ruoshi in the future. And he is confidant that as long he have enough opportunities, he will definitely be able to win heart and make her fall in love with him madly. Thus, killing two birds with one stone.
