Chapter 1410: Just Needs to Be Handled

The slap sent the two girls cras.h.i.+ng to the ground, and fear spread across their faces. They dared not pick themselves up for some time.
The other people in the area hurriedly left in case they also incurred Young Master Lu’s wrath.
Young Master Lu had black hair and eyes and was not native to the Divine Wood Federation. However, no one dared to cross him in Oak City because the Lu family was behind the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.
Although this young man was not a direct descendant of the Lu family, he was an important companion of the Lu family’s First Young Master.
Even the Vice President of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s branch in Oak City had to be polite to him. Thus, there was no way that ordinary people could even attempt to do so.

The fat young man with the murderous gaze looked in Lin Yuan’s direction and snarled, “The two of you better go back and fetch more people. I want to see the face of the person who has the audacity to hit me because of an insect-species carcinoma fey!”
The two girls scrambled to their feet and did as the fat young man said. In order to ensure that the fat young man would be satisfied, the two girls called the President of the Oak City branch of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce, Song Dingzhen, and asked her to send out experts from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce to help Lu Kun save his pride.
The two girls’ request caused Song Dingzhen to furrow her brow. However, given Lu Kun’s status, she still sent out a small team of guards from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.
Song Dingzhen could not help but sigh when she put down the phone. She then pulled out numerous Bronze/Normal and Silver/Normal Item-Storing Walnuts.
The only function they had was to carry goods for merchant groups.
A man in a standard black uniform next to Song Dingzhen said, “Vice President, has Young Master Lu Kun gotten himself into trouble again?”
Song Dingzhen said with a tone of resentment, “We have already sealed the collaboration with the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce. Lu Kun is here to sign the contract, and he will leave Oak City once he’s done. I shall have to fulfill all of his needs for now. My position in Oak City will be more stable if I can satisfy him.”
The man dressed in a black uniform could not help but purse his lips.
Lu Kun had been in Oak City for less than a week, but more than 100 people had already died because of him. Many of these people had been guests at the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce, and this incident would not reflect well on the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

The Profit Source Chamber of Commerce had already raised the issue many times to the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.
But when he thought about all that Song Dingzhen had done over the past few years, the man felt that she was no saint compared to Lu Kun. In fact, it could be said that she was worse than him.
While Song Dingzhen was looking through the Item-Storing Walnuts, the man asked, “Vice President, should we keep these Item-Storing Walnuts and get the merchant groups to handle them as usual?”
He drew a line across his neck.
Song Dingzhen asked with interest, “What’s the name of that low-ranking merchant group? Is it Sincere Merchant Group?”
The man hurriedly replied, “The Sincere Merchant Group is the lowest-ranked merchant group under the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce. There are almost 100 members in the merchant group, but their captain is the only one with a Gold fey. They usually take the route at the border between Oak City and the Iron Hammer Federation.
“For some reason, they recently ran into a spot of luck and managed to trade for many good items at the border of the Iron Hammer Federation. Although the beast skins in the Item-Storing Walnuts are Silver at best, they are in perfect shape. Many of the minerals can be sold for high prices in the Iron Hammer Federation.
“I did a calculation, and their entire haul is worth a million Great Lush dollars. The captain of the Sincere Merchant Group came to me with these items with the intention of trading them for some wine and plants. They probably want to use them to make a windfall in the Iron Hammer Federation.
“The Sincere Merchant probably obtained some miracle as the entire merchant group seems to be in a happy state. As per the rules, I brought all the items to you so you could have a look at them.”
Song Dingzhen looked amused as she said, “Hehe, they’re happy? Doesn’t the Sincere Merchant Group know that miracles can change hands? Since they’re just a small merchant group, you can just come up with some reason to send them away, and I’ll split the benefits with you. Go and get to work.”

The man bowed and said, “Thank you, Vice President. There have been more and more merchant groups who want to be part of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce. We can’t handle the quant.i.ty. Now that we are working with the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce, why don’t we s.h.i.+ft some of the merchant groups over to them?”
Song Dingzhen scoffed and said, “How can we be saturated with merchant groups? We can just pick the better ones. Go and continue promoting the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce. The merchant groups who decide to join us will gain funds that they can use to trade for items. They will gain 2,000 metal coins after each return trip.”
Song Dingzhen waved her hand before picking up the wine bottle from the table and taking a sip.
Lin Yuan had been following the Dark Send Mess b.u.t.terfly for about 15 minutes. He noticed that it had flown to the border of Oak City.
The only people who lived at the border of Oak City were those at the bottom of the food chain and the homeless. The place was very chaotic, and it was not uncommon for wicked incidents to happen.
The young girl looked shocked and asked, “Big Brother, why did you fly to the place I live? We’re going to arrive at my house soon! Look at that store selling fruits that are about to rot. My younger brother and I buy fruits from them using metal coins when we’re hungry. We buy five kilograms of fruits and cut away the rotted portions. The remaining portion is so sweet.”

Little Flower’s eyes shone when she talked about food. Her smile was pure, and she looked hopeful for the future. There was not a shred of bitterness on her face.
Lin Yuan sighed at her innocent smile.
He and Chu Ci had had to fend for themselves back in the Xia Region, but they still led better lives than Little Flower was leading.
