Upon learning this devastating news, Jiang Hao lost all desire to continue arguing with Jiang Yu'er.
He returned to his courtyard and sat down in his study without saying a word.
The assistant stood aside, even holding his breath, afraid of offending this young master.
Jiang Hao did not immediately go to find his father, Jiang Tianxiong.
His father's words, "What use are you to me?" still echoed in his ears.
If I were to go and tell him now that Medicine King Valley is finished and all the investments have gone down the drain, wouldn't that just prove that I'm a useless person who only brings bad news?
No.
He wants to solve it himself.
He wanted to prove to his father, who looked down on him, that he, Jiang Hao, was not a good-for-nothing!
Jiang Hao sat in the chair, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, waiting.
Time passed slowly, and the study became eerily quiet.
After some time, the assistant's phone vibrated. He glanced at it, then quickly walked back, holding a tablet computer.
"Young Master Hao, we've found it."
The assistant handed over a tablet containing information about Ye An.
"This Master Ye first appeared at a private auction in Jiangcheng. At that time, he took care of some dirty things and gained some fame in a small circle."
"Later, it was in an underground boxing match in Dongyang Town that he defeated Chaiya Anan, the Muay Thai master known as the undefeated legend of Southeast Asia."
"Then, there was Qixia Mountain. He fought Yun Jingxing to a duel, and not only did he not lose, but he also killed Yun Jingxing in front of thousands of martial artists with a greatsword made of flames."
Jiang Hao frowned more and more as he looked at the documents.
He was thinking.
This Master Ye is definitely a master.
Although the Jiang family also worships several martial artists at the Celestial Realm, those people only obey the orders of the grandfather, the head of the family.
His first wife and second wife had been fighting all along, and at this time, those celestial experts would not intervene for the private affairs of his first wife.
Jiang Hao's fingers stopped.
He thought of a special organization that existed overseas: Destiny!
The people in that organization don't practice martial arts, yet they possess all sorts of incredible powers; they call themselves "superhumans."
It is said that once a superhuman awakens, their power is no less than that of a Grandmaster of Internal Energy.
With good talent and a little training, one can possess destructive power comparable to that of a celestial being.
Jiang Hao picked up an encrypted phone from the table and dialed a number.
The phone rang a few times before being answered, and a woman's voice came from the other end, tinged with languor.
"Young Master Jiang, what brings you here so late?"
"I need your organization to help me kill someone," Jiang Hao said directly.
The woman opposite him chuckled lightly: "Young Master Jiang, we are businessmen, not your personal assassins. Killing is fine, but it depends on who you kill and what the price is."
Jiang Hao leaned back in his chair, his voice steady: "Once my father takes over the Jiang family, I'll give you 30% of the medicinal herb business in the provinces surrounding Shanghai."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
A few seconds later, the woman's voice rang out again, this time much more serious.
"Thirty percent? Young Master Jiang, that's quite a generous offer."
The woman was making plans in her mind.
Although it is rare to hear of people with superpowers in China, the country is vast and rich in resources, so it may be hiding a "superpower fruit" that can awaken a person's superpowers.
If they can establish a base in China through the Jiang family, the organization might be able to cultivate a legendary "god-level" superhuman.
"Tell me, who are you going to kill?"
"A young man named Ye An, known as Master Ye, recently killed Yun Jingxing in a public duel atop Qixia Mountain."
"Yun Jingxing?" The woman's voice held a hint of surprise. "The number one talent in Jiangnan?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone.
The woman spoke up, "This is truly unexpected. We've heard of Yun Jingxing's reputation overseas. Even for our organization, it would take at least three high-ranking members to safely kill him."
Jiang Hao added fuel to the fire: "That's absolutely true. He killed Yun Jingxing fair and square in front of thousands of martial artists. Some say that his strength has exceeded the realm of martial arts prodigies and may have even reached the realm of martial arts gods. Most importantly, he's only in his early twenties."
"Impossible!" the woman immediately denied.
"Martial Arts God Realm? Isn't that what we call a god-level superhuman? A twenty-year-old god-level being? That's absolutely impossible!"
The woman herself awakened her powers after reaching adulthood and by chance ate a fruit that granted her supernatural abilities, giving her powerful fire-based abilities.
But it took her a full fifteen years to go from an ordinary person to a powerful cadre in the organization.
She herself felt that breaking through to the god level was a distant dream.
A god-level being at the age of twenty? This is practically a legendary tale.
Jiang Hao sensed her skepticism and asked in return, "What? Your organization can't do it? If you can't, then I'll have to contact someone else."
"Young Master Jiang, don't be anxious." The woman quickly calmed down. "If he were truly a god-level expert, killing Yun Jingxing would be a matter of moments. Since it took a duel to kill him, it means he definitely hasn't reached the god-level."
"As long as he hasn't reached the god-level, we have a way to kill him." The woman's voice was filled with confidence. "Even the most powerful Chinese martial artist can't withstand the combined efforts of several of our officers."
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He had heard about the power of these overseas superhumans.
Their power seems to come out of thin air, unlike the ancient Chinese martial arts practitioners who have to cultivate diligently from a young age and consume countless medicinal resources.
Even so, those who lack talent will never even touch the threshold of becoming a martial arts master in their entire lives.
It's fair to say that the resources Yun Jingxing used for cultivation alone, if used to train other superhumans, could probably produce three cadres.
Moreover, once these superhumans join forces, their power will increase exponentially, far beyond the simple equation of one plus one equals two.
No matter how strong Master Ye is, he will inevitably die when faced with an attack from several superhumans.
"Very good," Jiang Hao said. "I will have someone keep an eye on him and provide you with his whereabouts at any time. Send someone over as soon as possible."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Young Master Jiang."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hao revealed a cold smile.
This is the source of the Jiang family's confidence in Shanghai.
They control enormous assets worth hundreds of billions and have connections and channels in the international underworld that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
If they really want to kill someone, even if that person is a celestial being, they can use money to kill them.
