My husband Can Cultivate

"Get lost!" the Undying Barbarian King roared, his bellowing voice so frightening that Wu Xiu nearly wet his pants.

"Hmph, I’m not going anywhere today. I’d like to see what you, a mere security guard, can do about it," Wu Heng snorted, his temper flaring.

Although he was wary of the Star Shining Society, how could he possibly fear a mere security guard, even if the man was a bit muscular?

"Hehe, not leaving, are we?" The Undying Barbarian King sneered and suddenly threw a punch at Wu Heng.

Wu Heng was genuinely shocked. This insignificant guard attacked without a second thought? He truly has no regard for the Wu Family of Sea City.

He hurriedly circulated his True Qi to defend against the Undying Barbarian King’s attack. With my combat power as a Fourth Rank Overlord, a mere security guard should be nothing to worry about.

BANG!

Only when his fist collided with the Undying Barbarian King’s did his expression drastically change.

The esteemed Family Head of the Wu Family was sent stumbling back seven or eight steps, his arms trembling uncontrollably. In contrast, the Undying Barbarian King hadn’t budged an inch.

"You! You’re no ordinary security guard! Who are you?" Wu Heng demanded in terror.

"Want to retaliate? Fine. Listen up, I work for the boss of the Star Shining Society. People call me the Undying Barbarian King!" the Undying Barbarian King said with a grin.

What!

Hearing this title, Wu Heng’s face turned pale. He knew that the Undying Barbarian King had originally served the Jingnan Royal Mansion. However, after the boss of the Star Shining Society defeated the mansion, the Barbarian King had become one of the boss’s most favored subordinates.

"My apologies, my apologies! We were blind and failed to recognize true greatness," Wu Heng forced a smile and quickly pulled Wu Xiu and the others away.

They didn’t want to offend the Star Shining Society, especially since their main goal at this investment bidding meeting was to make a good impression. If they were to start a fight with the society, it would be over for them. Moreover, Wu Heng knew he was no match for the Undying Barbarian King. Their Realms were similar, but the man’s innate Divine Power was simply too overwhelming. That one punch felt like it had shattered his bones; the pain was unbearable.

Feeling helpless, Wu Heng led his people away with their tails between their legs.

Cheers erupted from the crowd. Arrogant, prominent families like theirs were secretly despised by everyone; people just didn’t dare offend them to their faces.

「Outside」

Wu Heng’s expression was grim. "It’s all Yang Qi’s fault. He must have said something to the boss of the Star Shining Society," he insisted, firmly believing that Yang Qi had orchestrated the entire encounter.

"But he’s just a peripheral member. How could he possibly meet the boss of the Star Shining Society?" Wu Xiu asked.

"Perhaps we’ve underestimated him," Wu Heng said, grinding his teeth. "He might even be an internal member with direct access to the boss."

"Then what do we do? We’re already at daggers drawn with him," Wu Xiu said, growing anxious.

"What’s there to be afraid of? If we’re at daggers drawn, then so be it. At worst, we’ll just get rid of him!" Wu Heng declared coldly. "Since we’re already enemies, there’s no point in regretting it. If that kid dares to oppose us, then we’ll eliminate him!"

With that, Wu Heng led the Wu Family away.

After their departure, the investment bidding meeting proceeded smoothly. Guo Yuxue and Lin Tao’s company successfully won a project worth ten billion. However, neither of them seemed to be in good spirits.

Just then, Yang Qi came out and spotted his two college classmates squatting by the roadside, sighing. My best buddy and my big sister.

"What’s wrong with you two?" Yang Qi asked.

"Nothing!" Lin Tao quickly shook his head. He clearly didn’t want to trouble Yang Qi, who had already helped them so much. They were incredibly grateful.

"If you don’t consider me a friend, then don’t say anything. I won’t bother asking again," Yang Qi said with a frown. In this world, he didn’t have many friends or relatives. He wanted anyone who was good to him to live well.

"No, Yang Qi, don’t be angry," Guo Yuxue sighed. "I’ll tell you. It’s not a huge deal, really. Ever since our business started to take off, some relatives from Longjiang Prefecture contacted us. They’re a major family there—not on par with the ten great families, but still quite powerful. When they heard about this investment bidding meeting, they wanted to collaborate with us. We inspected their company and felt their hardware was excellent, so we agreed. We initially signed a contract for a fifty-fifty profit split. But they just called and suddenly changed the terms to a ten-ninety split. We get ten percent, and they get ninety. At this rate, all our hard work will have been for nothing."

"I see," Yang Qi said with a smile. "Honestly, if it weren’t for my trust in you two, I wouldn’t have let this bid succeed. I had a feeling those relatives of yours weren’t very trustworthy, and this proves it."

"Huh?"

Guo Yuxue and Lin Tao exchanged shocked glances. They hadn’t expected Yang Qi to be behind their successful bid as well. But they didn’t doubt him. After all, Yang Qi was the Young Master of the Qifei Group and had reportedly joined the Star Shining Society; he certainly had the capability.

"Let’s go. We’ll take a trip to Longjiang Prefecture, and I’ll help you solve this. If they listen to reason, we’ll stick to the fifty-fifty split. If not, I’ll solve the hardware problem for you. There are plenty of good factories for that in Jingnan Prefecture," Yang Qi said.

"Let it go, Yang Qi. The Guo Family of Longjiang Prefecture is not to be trifled with. I’m afraid we’ll get you into trouble," Lin Tao said, shaking his head.

"Get me into trouble?" Yang Qi laughed. "I know Zhou Shang from the Zhou Family in Longjiang Prefecture. Can’t I just ask him to step in?"

"You mean the patriarch of the Zhou Family, one of the ten great families?" the two asked, astonished.

"Of course," Yang Qi nodded.

"Then there’s no problem. Let’s go!"

The three of them immediately got in the car and drove toward Longjiang Prefecture.

Meanwhile, the Guo Family household in Longjiang Prefecture was filled with celebration. They had secured a project worth ten billion, which would bring in at least five billion in revenue. Their family’s total assets were only around five billion to begin with. This was their chance to strike it rich. Furthermore, by handling this project well, they could also curry favor with the Star Shining Society, which promised even greater benefits.

"Family Head, you’re truly incredible! Those poor relatives you found are quite capable to have landed such a massive project," one of the members said, looking at the Family Head, Guo Huai, with admiration.

"Relatives? They’re hardly relatives at all. We’re so distantly related it’s laughable. If I hadn’t seen them getting close to the Qifei Group, I wouldn’t have bothered with them," Guo Huai said dismissively. "Them, wanting to partner with our Guo Family? What a joke. Giving them ten percent of the profits is already a huge favor."

"Exactly, Family Head! Why give them ten percent? They did nothing! The project was probably secured thanks to our Guo Family’s reputation."

"Don’t even give them that ten percent!"

"Right, it’s all ours!"

"If they dare to complain, just get rid of them!"
