Chapter 543: Chapter 543 - 543 A Deal

543 A Deal

Even the old beggar had seen the Blood God Lotus once.

Thank you readers!

However, seeing the Blood God Lotus blooming wantonly once again, he could not help but mutter in amazement.

The fragrance of the flowers was so strong that almost everyone could not breathe.

Lu Benwei had no choice but to keep the Blood God Lotus.

“Is this okay?”

!!

At this moment, Liu Yao was lost in thought. After a long time, he replied, “Definitely. I suddenly thought of something. Last night, there was a strange fragrance in Ha City. Is it related to this?”

Lu Benwei did not hide anything and nodded in acknowledgment.

Liu Yao and Uncle Si both had strange looks on their faces.

From a certain perspective, this Blood God Lotus was even better than the Nascent Soul Fruit.

Soon, the car drove into the Sheng Qiang Group’s underground parking lot.

Liu Yao was a well-known figure in Ha City, so the guard at the door did not stop him.

Lu Benwei, Liu Yao, and Uncle Si stepped into the elevator and waited in the reception room on the floor below the top floor.

As for the old beggar, he was sleeping soundly in the car, snoring like thunder.

“I’m very sorry. President Gao is temporarily unavailable due to some private matters,” the female secretary in black silk bowed slightly and informed the three of them.

She was wearing a plain white shirt that was tucked into her short skirt, outlining her graceful curves. Her black lace undergarments were faintly visible under her white shirt.

“Please pass on a message. It’s a matter of life and death. President Gao must see me.”

The female secretary had no choice but to go upstairs and report to Gao Shengqiang.

Soon, the female secretary went downstairs to convey the news that the three of them could go up.

On the top floor of the Sheng Qiang Corporation building was an extremely luxurious office. There was a full set of custom-made furniture, leather and horse-hair sofas, and a wall full of famous paintings. Even the city art gallery was inferior to it.

However, this luxurious office was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Gao Shengqiang’s eyes were red, and his hair was messy. He looked very old.

“Uncle Gao, you must take care of your health!” Liu Yao stepped forward and said with concern.

“Why did you come here?” Gao Shengqiang’s voice was very cold. Every word he said was filled with the smell of alcohol.

“What is it?”

Gao Shengqiang sobered up a little and his tone became a little calmer.

“Do you still remember Uncle Si?”

As soon as Liu Yao finished speaking, Uncle Si stepped forward.

“President Gao, you should remember me, right?”

Gao Shengqiang’s brows furrowed, and then he suddenly realized. “Are you Liu Benhua’s secretary, Si…”

Halfway through his sentence, Gao Shengqiang stopped.

“President Gao, just call me Si He,” Uncle Si stated his name.

As he spoke, Si He started coughing violently, his expression extremely pained.

“Nephew Liu, what exactly is going on?”

Gao Shengqiang frowned, feeling disgusted.

Liu Yao sighed. “Uncle Gao might not know this. Ten years ago, when my father was attacked, Uncle Si risked his life to save my life. Uncle Si also narrowly escaped death, but unfortunately, he fell ill.”

Gao Shengqiang came to a realization and frowned in the next second. “But I’m not a doctor. Old Si should go see a doctor.”

Lu Benwei, who was standing at the side, sighed in his heart. It turned out that Si He’s soul was damaged because he protected Liu Yao’s father. In the end, his loyalty was wasted. The Liu family could not even treat him as family.

At this moment, Si He’s mind was also filled with a myriad of thoughts. His turbid eyes were filled with loneliness.

Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, then he muttered, “Uncle Gao, since I came to look for you, it’s because I know that you have a medicinal herb that can treat Uncle Si’s illness.”

“Damn, you should have said so earlier! Just tell me what kind of medicinal herb it is. I’ll get someone to get it.”

“Uncle Gao, it’s the Nascent Soul Fruit,” Liu Yao said awkwardly, “It’s the top-grade medicinal herb in your collection.”

Gao Shengqiang was stunned.

The luxurious office fell into a dead silence.

Suddenly, a thunderous voice came from the corner.

“The Nascent Soul Fruit nurtures the soul and is a great tonic for the soul. Is Old Si’s soul damaged?”

An extremely muscular man with an anchor beard stood up. He was more than two meters tall.

Lu Benwei and the others had to look up at him.

“Ah Long, you’re awake?”

He was Gao Shengqiang’s most powerful assistant, Yilong!

Yilong’s gaze was cold as he stared fiercely at Si He. In an instant, Si He shuddered violently, and his head felt like exploding.

“Brother Yilong, spare my life! Brother Yilong, please spare me. My soul can’t withstand your pressure!”

Lu Benwei was shocked. Yilong was using his soul power to oppress Si He!

Si He coughed loudly, and his blood dyed the fluffy carpet on the ground red.

“Tsk, my carpet is very expensive…” Gao Shengqiang frowned, looking displeased.

“Uncle Si, what happened to you?” Liu Yao frowned. “This is Uncle Gao’s office. If you dirty it, how will Uncle Gao treat his guests?”

At this moment, Si He said in an extremely sorry state, “I’m sorry. It was Brother Yilong who used his soul power to oppress me. My soul source is weak to begin with. I really can’t take it.”

“You mean, you blame me?” Yilong’s bones cracked as he looked at Si He mockingly.

“You, you…” Si He was so angry that he could not speak.

“What about me? Si He, I’ve heard of you. Ten years ago, you were also a famous figure in Ha City.” Yilong mocked.

“It’s a pity that your soul source has been damaged. You’re no longer the magician that resounded throughout Ha City!”

Si He really wanted to jump up and fight Yi Long to the death, but unfortunately, his youth was gone, and his soul was damaged.

Back then, he was so high-spirited. Everyone in Ha City knew of Si He’s name. Not only did he help the Liu family in the business world, but he also helped the city as well.

Ha City had also been invaded by beasts several times, and Si He could always be seen during the quelling of unrest.

“Sigh…”

Si He sighed.

“Forget it. Old Master Liu has done me a favor. In this life, I’ll use it to repay his kindness.”

Gao Shengqiang patted his head. “I’d have forgotten if Ah Long hadn’t mentioned it. Back then, Mr. Si He was the hero of Ha City! Since the great hero is having difficulties in his later years, I can’t just watch him suffer from illness.”

“Uncle Gao, you agree?” Liu Yao was overjoyed.

“Of course!” Gao Shengqiang muttered, “But you know that Nascent Soul Fruits are very precious. You’re a businessman too, so you need to exchange for them!”

“No problem!”
