Although Zhou Yuan tried to be modest, Flying Tiger's eyes were still filled with disbelief as he looked at the brownish-red Elixir in his hand, falling into deep thought...
With such effects, even calling it a miracle pill wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Spring breeze for ten miles can't compare to Zhou Yuan's ability to boast!
He's treating me like a sucker!
But he didn't dare to laugh, only toughing it out and tentatively asking, "How much for one Tempering Elixir?"
Both were savvy individuals, no need for beating around the bush. Zhou Yuan first said he wanted to treat someone's illness, then pulled out this deceptive Elixir. Plainly speaking, wasn't he just trying to extort me?
If it weren't for the support from Chu Ran, even if this guy's martial arts were strong, it would just be a matter of one bullet.
"Two million per pill!"
Zhou Yuan said calmly.
"Ah?"
Flying Tiger was stunned!
Two million a pill?
This isn't extortion?
It's clearly taking advantage of having Chu Ran's support to plot for money and harm others!
"You help me sell it, and we'll split the profit, thirty-seventy, you get thirty, I get seventy!"
Zhou Yuan wasn't joking. If it weren't for the need to accumulate funds, he wouldn't sell such a good thing at all.
But now he needed wealth, a lot of wealth, and never again let anyone look down on him!
Flying Tiger was soaked in cold sweat, trembling as he swallowed the Tempering Elixir. After a pained reflection, he took out a checkbook from his body, forcing a smile while saying, "Lord Zhou, I only have five hundred thousand on me!"
"I'll give you a discount and take just five hundred thousand!" Zhou Yuan wasn't shy to accept as he pocketed the check. He reminded him again, "You won't suffer losses following me!"
Chu Ran helped him, and he was thankful.
But he didn't want Flying Tiger to kowtow to him just because of Chu Ran's intimidation, so he symbolically accepted only five hundred thousand, which was virtually no different from giving it away.
And the value of the Tempering Elixir was absolutely worth far more than two million!
"Yes!"
"Definitely!"
Flying Tiger agreed on the surface, but internally, he was cursing up a storm.
This lunatic, money-crazy!
If Chu Ran weren't here, I wouldn't even consider him worth a fart in my presence!
Zhou Yuan asked in a serious tone, "What did I just say?"
Flying Tiger was quick to react, immediately lifting his head and said earnestly, "You can cure all kinds of diseases, but it requires two million."
"Also, one Tempering Elixir costs two million, and I'm in charge of selling them, taking a three percent commission!"
Zhou Yuan gave him a meaningful look and then locked the door behind him. Now that he had made the Tempering Elixirs, he remembered Chu Ran's kindness and must deliver one to her.
"Tiger Lord, that kid, is he money-crazed or what?"
"Damn it, why doesn't he just go rob people?"
Two subordinates expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.
They really didn't understand what Miss Chu was thinking, to stand up for such a loser, causing them to also have to bow and scrape.
"How the hell would I know?"
Flying Tiger glared fiercely before getting in the car and taking out his phone to dial Chu Ran's number: "Hello, Miss Chu!"
"He asked me to..."
Flying Tiger reported the whole situation, his words filled with both overt and covert grievances.
After all, he was a local boss too—to kowtow to a madman was like a slap in the face.
And the fact that he even paid an "idiocy tax" of fifty thousand!
At the rooftop garden of the villa on the hill, Chu Ran's lips curled into a slight smile, "Do as he says. If you dare to betray me, I won't let you off!"
She had experienced Zhou Yuan's medical skills.
Although he could even cure frost disease, claiming to cure all diseases seemed a bit far-fetched.
And those medicinal herbs he bought, were they for making the Tempering Elixir?
She had tried this stuff and knew its effects, but it hadn't significantly improved her condition.
It was just questionable whether the Tempering Elixir Zhou Yuan made was a scam or not.
Flying Tiger was almost ready to cry, so frustrated he could barely speak!
But what could he do about it?
He just had to endure!
"Miss!"
"That bastard seems to be planning to swindle others using your name."
Wei Shen said indignantly, "I've always said he's not to be trusted!"
Chu Ran smiled lightly, "It's too early to determine if he's scamming people."
"I'm actually curious to see what kind of waves he can stir up!"
Any sensible person would know that she purchased those medicinal ingredients.
So after making the Tempering Elixir, would he think of her?
Hopefully, he's not an ungrateful scoundrel!
"Ah..."
Wei Shen sighed and stopped short, clearly thinking the Miss had gone mad, realizing it might be time to have a serious talk with that bastard!
"Miss, the chairman of Mingqi Group, Zhao Ming, requests an audience!"
A guard reported.
Chu Ran said lightly, "Tell him to wait for me in the conference room!"
She seemed to have heard from someone that Zhao Ming had an inherited family illness. If Zhou Yuan could cure it, it would also serve as proof of his capabilities.
Then she could arrange some connections for him with greater peace of mind.
"And Zhou Yuan is also outside,"
The guard reported again.
Chu Ran smiled, "I know!"
Wei Shen, who was planning to trouble Zhou Yuan, had a glint in his deep eyes, "Miss, let me receive him!"
"Don't be too hard on him!" Chu Ran could see through Wei Shen's intentions.
If she didn't know the extent of Zhou Yuan's abilities before, she would never let Wei Shen go 'greet' him. Now, however, she was curious about the level of Zhou Yuan's strength.
She needed to understand Zhou Yuan from all angles!
And Wei Shen, who had fought and killed on the battlefield for over two decades, bore the title of the King of Soldiers and was her grandfather's favorite soldier.
Such strength was more than enough to test Zhou Yuan's depths!
