Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

The news of Tanaka Yoshi and his son's arrest was first known by the Dai Family in Taikoo City, as the information from Yidu was ultimately more accessible than in the Four Capitals.

The Dai Family themselves were baffled: Who acted so decisively?

Don't be fooled by their various connections in Central City; all they can do is fan the flames.

To mobilize the Law Enforcement Team is extremely difficult, let alone under the charge of "malicious fraud against the Ultimate Warrior."

This charge is not something just anyone can fabricate; at the very least, an Ultimate Warrior must testify.

Other forces in Taikoo City were also a bit panicked upon hearing this, especially those who had already set their sights on Tanaka Yoshi's assets.

They directly approached the Dai Family: What should we do next? Did we mess with someone too powerful?

They were very certain about one thing: the person pushing this matter could easily crush any power in Taikoo City!

The Dai Family was also puzzled but decided to ask Dai Xingyan.

When Chairman Dai received the news, he didn't dare delay and went straight to the small courtyard where Qu Jianlei resided to ask if they were aware of this.

Qu Jianlei, upon hearing this, nodded, "I didn't expect them to act so decisively."

Dai Xingyan, who was already quite familiar with him, asked without hesitation, "Who are they?"

"It's not convenient to say," Qu Jianlei shook his head with a smile, "They haven't shown themselves because they don't want anyone to know."

No need to think too much to realize, how humiliating would it be if it was known that the dignified Inspection Bureau was fooled by people from the Gathering Area?

Dai Xingyan saw his response and didn't press further, but she confirmed again, "You're sure you know who they are?"

"I'm very certain," Qu Jianlei answered confidently.

Then Dai Xingyan continued to ask, "So, regarding Tanaka Yoshi's family assets... is it appropriate for us to take action?"

Qu Jianlei waved his hand succinctly, "Floating assets are mine, you handle the properties yourselves."

"By the way, you don't need to worry about the assets in Central City; someone will naturally convert them for me."

He wasn't bluffing; if Jamaari couldn't manage this, why would he earn his trust?

"Someone's helping you cash out?" Dai Xingyan looked shocked, "Who are you exactly?"

Qu Jianlei gave her a sideways glance with feigned anger, "With you relentlessly rushing for drafts... if I had a way out, would I be like this?"

"I didn't force you," Dai Xingyan covered her mouth with a light laugh; his words had indeed pleased her.

Then she stood up, "I better go notify them immediately to prevent that family from taking the money and running away."

Indeed, Tanaka Yoshi's family was planning to flee with the money, but unfortunately, their information channels were no longer what they used to be.

Just when they were hesitating about selling off assets cheaply, several major forces in Taikoo City joined hands to suppress them.

This overwhelming suppression instantly broke them.

In just three short days, over a hundred members of Tanaka Yoshi's family, young and old, were either dead or injured.

Those family members who were unharmed were either missing or locked up in prison for various charges.

If nothing goes wrong, not one of these people will walk out of the prison alive—after all, unusual accidents tend to occur within prison walls.

However, this is to be expected, as the forces coveting the assets will not harbor any mercy.

— Your family must be wiped out; otherwise, how can we happily divide your family's assets?

Yet, these forces are not just ruthless; they also understand nuances and subtleties.

Someone suggested, "With assets so large, shouldn't we send regards to those two in Houjing City...?"

"We must send regards," another immediately added, "They let go so easily, but we shouldn't be ungrateful!"

Five days later, Dai Xingyan brought a box to see Qu Jianlei.

The box held silver notes equivalent to over fifty thousand silver coins, more than two kilograms of gold, and four B-level crystals.

Chairman Dai stated that when Tian Shouyi and his son went to Central City, they took a large sum of funds to operate, leaving only this much floating assets at home.

Among these four crystals, two were contributed by other forces together, as a gesture of goodwill, so don't be shy.

Qu Jianlei didn't feel much about this, but Bentley, being seasoned and shrewd, asked bluntly.

"No cultivation materials? Also, having been a chairman for so many years, surely there must be some rare metals or something, right?"

You couldn't be more professional, could you? Dai Xingyan was almost breaking out in a sweat upon hearing it.

"There are definitely some rare raw materials, currently being identified, but as for cultivation materials... there's truly none."

"Maybe they took them to Central City," Bentley was not surprised, "You know, Jian Lei is a Maintenance Master."

"Exactly," Dai Xingyan nodded repeatedly, "Once those rare materials are identified, have them sent over."

She felt quite relieved too, thinking it's fortunate I came quickly; if those guys divided the raw materials, there'd be no way to explain.

After she left, Qu Jianlei finally laughed and said, "I thought you'd firmly oppose me being a Maintenance Master."

Bentley rolled his eyes, "If you're going to Central City, you'll need some livelihood skills, won't you?"

"Oh?" Qu Jianlei was intrigued, "You're so sure I want to go to Central City?"

"It's not about whether you want to go; it's that you must go," Bentley replied slowly.

"We've already caught the attention of the Inspection Bureau, and you don't deny that, do you?"

"To make the other party cautious, we need to split up... unless he acts against both of us simultaneously."

"I have the cultivation technique they want, so I definitely can't hand it to them easily, so it's up to you to go."
