One hundred low-grade true stones and thirty low-grade true stones only differ by seventy, which is nothing for many powerful Martial Zong figures.
However, the martial artists struggling to survive in this Heizhao City are mostly those without backgrounds. For them, even a single low-grade true stone needs to be conserved and cannot be wasted.
Although the Heixiu Society requires taking thirty percent of the profits as their fee, for many martial artists who have lived in Heizhao City, every bit saved counts. Only those who are indifferent to true stones would consider using the teleportation channels of the three forces including the Heixiu Society.
But such martial artists are actually quite rare.
For Qin Chen, let alone one hundred low-grade true stones, even if there were more low-grade true stones, he wouldn’t use the teleportation channels of the Heixiu Society or the other two forces. He wasn't accustomed to letting others check his storage ring, even though there was nothing shameful inside.
"You mentioned being cheated earlier; what’s that about?" Qin Chen suddenly asked.
Yin Feng explained, "Young Master Chen, what we're talking about regarding being cheated is related to Shen Peng and the others who previously pulled you in. They aren’t actually part of the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce; they were merely helping Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce to attract customers. If it was just about bringing in customers, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, they are despicable. The last time we were pulled in through the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce’s channel."
At this point, Yin Feng's expression became agitated, clearly still unable to get over that anger. He angrily said, "Originally, we agreed that upon entering through the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce, they would only charge thirty low-grade true stones, taking thirty percent of the profits. But my sister and I were lucky inside and actually found a Black Lotus."
"A Black Lotus has a total of seven seeds. We only needed to hand over two seeds, but Shen Peng and the others demanded that we first give them four seeds, claiming we were brought in by them and that we should naturally share half of the good stuff."
"My sister and I naturally refused. Yet, Shen Peng and the others actually resorted to violence, not only robbing us of our Black Lotus but also injuring us. They are simply a bunch of ruffians."
"We later sought out the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce, but the people there said that Shen Peng's group is not from their chamber, so they couldn't help us and told us to seek them out. But how could my sister and I compete with Shen Peng and his group? It’s our fault for being too naive and believing them. So when we saw you being pulled by Shen Peng, we couldn’t help but speak out, not expecting to get you into such big trouble."
Saying this, Yin Feng and Yin Hong both bowed deeply to Qin Chen and said, "Speaking of which, Young Master Chen, by killing Shen Peng, you’ve avenged us. We are very grateful to you."
Qin Chen shook his head, "There’s no need for thanks; I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn’t stopped me, I might’ve really gone to the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce’s channel."
"However," Qin Chen sneered, "I don’t believe that Shen Peng and the others are not from the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce."
Yin Feng’s eyes filled with anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, we’ve come to understand more since then. Seeing Vice President Liu Ze come forward today has further confirmed our thoughts: the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce and Jiu Mo Xin’s group are indeed in cahoots."
"You know now, that’s good." Qin Chen smiled, indicating that the Yin siblings were indeed smart.
"You’ve offended the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce before, so be careful in the Heisi Swamp. I’ve heard that the reason the Gu Feng Chamber of Commerce could rise is due to some unsavory methods. They hold grudges, and today you embarrassed them in the square; considering their nature, they definitely won’t let you off." Yin Feng said anxiously.
