The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Once Wu Chengtian arrived, Fatso Lai felt much steadier at heart. He dialed Zhuge Junshi's number and arranged to meet him at the Kangshen Medical Company headquarters to discuss the partnership.
Zhuge Junshi agreed without hesitation, telling Fatso Lai he would be there first thing the next morning.
Led by the company's security guards, Zhuge Junshi and his attendant were shown to the reception room. That Fatso Lai had not come out to greet him in person left Zhuge Junshi somewhat displeased—and at the same time he felt a vague misgiving that this partnership might yet hit some snag.
Could it be that Fatso Lai had only been humoring him before, and now that he was home, had some trick up his sleeve?
Entering the reception room, Zhuge Junshi saw Fatso Lai seated in the place of honor—and beside him sat a young man, legs brazenly crossed, looking exceedingly full of himself.
"President Lai, what is the meaning of this? Have you decided against working with me?" Zhuge Junshi's face was very dark. That Fatso Lai had not risen to greet him only confirmed his suspicion.
"Zhuge Junshi, I take it?" Fatso Lai said nothing; it was Wu Chengtian who rose first, extending a hand toward Zhuge Junshi and saying coolly, "I am Wu Chengtian, young head of the secular Wu family."
As he spoke, Wu Chengtian cycled the incantation of his cultivation method, his early-stage Earth Rank strength laid bare for all to see.
"Heh heh…" Zhuge Junshi laughed and extended his hand as well, clasping Wu Chengtian's in his, and said blandly, "I didn't expect Guan Daifu Pharmaceutical to have a family of cultivators behind it."
"Now you know. The mark of a man is knowing his own measure. If Zhuge Junshi means to force his way into our company's affairs, then…" As he spoke, Wu Chengtian tightened his grip. He had trained in the external Iron Hand technique since youth, and now with internal cultivation to back it, his strength was naturally a far cry from what it once was.
"An early-stage Earth Rank cultivator versed in both internal and external disciplines? No wonder you're so formidable." To his surprise, after his hand had been crushed in Wu Chengtian's grip, Zhuge Junshi's expression did not change in the slightest—he could even state Wu Chengtian's strength with perfect composure!
"You…" Wu Chengtian was slightly taken aback, suddenly unable to fathom the other man's strength.
"Heh heh, you're right—the mark of a man is knowing his own measure. A mere early-stage Earth Rank pup dares to throw his weight around before me!" Zhuge Junshi moved lightly, shaking Wu Chengtian's hand off, and swung a palm straight at Wu Chengtian's chest!
"Bang!"
Before Wu Chengtian could even react, Zhuge Junshi had struck him flying. He crashed heavily into the wall not far off with a tremendous thunderous boom!
