The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1325 - 1324: Looting

But everyone knew that there were no good-hearted people in the Divine Realm, and Tang Rao was certainly one of them.His conscience only existed for the true friends he recognized. For those he had a utilitarian relationship with, Tang Rao dealt with each one without a hint of hesitation.

"Hearing Song Family Master say that, I truly sympathize. I wonder what the Song Family Master wants my help with?"

Tang Rao's 'sympathy' was overwhelming. He couldn't wait to have a meal with the Zhang Family and hear what they had to say.

As for what to say, naturally he would listen to them speak ill of each other. Then he would stir things up in the middle. What if these few people suddenly reconciled?

"I came today to ask Tang Family Master if you're willing to exclusively purchase our Song Family's alchemy materials. I can guarantee that our prices are lower than Zhang Family's, and the quality is better."

Good quality and low price?

This seemed like an enticing lunch. Tang Rao just listened and didn't immediately express his stance.

Having seen too much cutthroat competition, where one offers benefits to knock out the opponent, then dominates alone, exploiting consumers at will?

Now it seemed Tang Rao was getting a big advantage, but who knows if in the future Tang Rao would have to return it all with interest. This kind of business, Tang Rao absolutely couldn't touch.

"Sure, I am indeed worried that Kao Shan Shop lacks medicinal materials for alchemy. It's just that we are on a high-end path now, and ordinary materials can no longer meet our needs. Can you offer better things?"

Tang Rao seized the opportunity to probe. The Song Family Master, caught in a dilemma, had to offer something good to satisfy Tang Rao.

He clapped his hands, and the prepared items, covered with red silk, were immediately brought up by the people below.

"This is a show of sincerity from my Song Family. I wonder if Tang Family Master is satisfied?"

Song Family Master pointed with his hand, and the servant unveiled the silk, letting the scent of the materials waft into Tang Rao's nose.

In front of Tang Rao were ten trays, each loaded with not few treasures of heaven and earth, things that were rarely seen even on Lion Mountain.

"Are these things all for me?"

The word 'give' escaped his lips, and Song Family Master didn't even plan to ask Tang Rao for Purple Crystals.

"As long as Tang Family Master likes them, they're all yours."

Did Song Family Master feel heartache? Of course. Did he think these things were important? No, he might choose the Song Family over them without hesitation.

"I hope, and I really like them. Thank you."

Tang Rao smilingly accepted the items, his expression like that of a landlord in the Divine Realm.

"Zhang Wang, later make sure to check if there are any materials we need from Song Family here, and don't hold back on buying or stocking. As for business with Zhang Family, cancel it all."

Tang Rao had already discussed with Song Family Master at the meal table and specifically 'instructed' Zhang Wang on how to conduct business.

The master didn't reveal everything, but Zhang Wang gradually thought he understood the matters at hand.

"Yes, I'll handle it right away."

After eating and drinking his fill at the Song Family, Song Family Master even took Tang Rao for a tour around the Song Family, with some reluctance to part, Tang Rao finally left.

After all, Song Family had just invited him at noon, and the Zhang Family had already invited him for the evening.

Tang Rao felt quite guilty. He originally planned to delay these unscrupulous acts until the next day, but since they extended the invitation, he felt it would trouble his conscience to refuse.

Along the way, Zhang Wang was still pondering Tang Rao's future intentions.

"Boss, you're not going to stand behind the Song Family just like that, are you? If I were you, I'd fully support them after what Song Family Master said. But you're not ordinary, and you definitely have a plan unlike ours."

Zhang Wang looked up at Tang Rao, asking about his intentions.

"No, I'm just like you. After hearing the Song Family Master's words, I'm unwaveringly supporting him."

Tang Rao never minced words; what was said was said.

"Huh?"

Zhang Wang initially thought Tang Rao might have a more profound viewpoint, only to find his thoughts aligned with Zhang Wang's own.

"However, supporting them doesn't affect my plan to absorb the Song Family. Wouldn't you agree?"

As expected, Tang Rao always thought differently from them.

"When we get to Zhang Family, watch my cues."

It was obvious that the Song Family had brought out their most precious items; they knew without offering something valuable, nothing could be resolved with Tang Rao, who had seen all sorts of goodies.

If Tang Rao went to Zhang Family and they offered even better things, wouldn't Tang Rao be ensnared immediately?

Song Family Master figured that a stingy family like Zhang's wouldn't offer their family's treasures like Song did to protect themselves.

Zhang Family wasn't as hospitable as Song Family. Even when Tang Rao and Zhang Wang reached the doorstep, no one came to greet them.

The difference between the two families was vast. Tang Rao's automatic scoring system in his heart already gave Zhang Family a failing grade at the start.

"Who are you looking for?"

The Zhang Family servant was rather fierce, as if wishing to spear Tang Rao with the trident in his hand.

"I was invited by your Zhang Family Patriarch. Let him know I'm here."

Tang Rao was a man with a temper. Since the Zhang Family gave him a hard time, he had to return the favor in kind.

"Our patriarch isn't here."

Alright, didn't even bother to report, directly saying the patriarch wasn't around.

Just from the servant's attitude, Tang Rao could tell a Song Family girl marrying into Zhang Family wouldn't have a good life.

"Since the Song Family Master isn't here, I'll just head back."

Tang Rao was swift in his actions; there was a difference in the attitude of those seeking help and those being sought.

The servant who meant to give Tang Rao a hard time was surprised when he decided to leave so quickly. They hastily stopped him: "Please wait, the patriarch has been waiting in the reception hall for quite a while."

The drastic difference in attitude gave Tang Rao a roller-coaster feeling.

"Wasn't he not here just now? Now he is?"

Seeing through their deliberate difficulties, Tang Rao didn't mind. He was here for benefits, and those seeking benefits needed thick skin.

"No need for explanations. Now, lead us there quickly."

The fierceness the servant showed Tang Rao was returned in kind, but there was resentment in their heart, kept silent due to the patriarch's prior instructions.

Through one big road and two small paths, Tang Rao finally saw the doors of what was called the reception hall.

Zhang Family was much wealthier than Song Family.

This was Tang Rao's first impression.

Just by looking at the architecture and the interior decorations, Tang Rao knew he would definitely secure a significant gain today, proving himself a qualified master of extraction.
