Chapter 412: Head-On Attack

Fei Qianqiong felt goosebumps, feeling somewhat creeped out.

How big a game of chess was Listen playing? Was he going to devour all of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce?

Previously, Fei Qianqiong had listened to the conversation between Listen and Lin Yuan and vaguely learned that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce would also be heading in the direction of high-end luxury resources in the future. They would definitely clash with the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Yuan would deliver hundreds of luxury items to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce every day. Even if the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was willing to sacrifice everything it had, how long could it resist?

Fei Qianqiong felt that he was much stronger than Listen in terms of strength, but no matter how powerful his battle prowess was, he could only maintain his morals at most when facing the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.

However, Listen’s strategy could turn the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s advantageous position into nothing.

At that moment, Listen asked, “How’s the Zheng family’s attitude toward the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce?”

Fei Qianqiong was carefully thinking about Listen’s question when he heard an unusually old voice inside the room.

“The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce is just a dog of the Zheng family. What do you think its attitude is?”

Listen’s eyes instantly widened, and they stared at the shadow that suddenly appeared in the room. It slowly condensed into a strange, fierce black tiger.

It wasn’t big and was only two meters long, but it had three pupils that were like black holes. Its entire body was covered with body armor, which belonged to an insect-species fey.

The most surprising thing was that it had a thick scorpion tail high up that was even longer than its body.

The stinger on its scorpion tail was wrapped in black mist, which was not distinct. Only a sharp cold flash could be faintly seen from the black mist.

On the back of the strange, fierce tiger stood an old man, who was hunched almost at a right angle. The hand that was holding onto the walking stick seemed to be trembling, but he stood on the fierce tiger’s back firmly.

Upon sensing this old man’s rising aura and then comparing it to Fei Qianqiong’s during the day, Listen could feel that this hunchbacked old man’s aura was clearly stronger than Fei Qianqiong’s.

Listen quickly calmed down and said, “Your Excellency knows the Zheng family so well, so I guess you should be from the Zheng family. But I wonder what the people from the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce will feel when they find out that the Zheng family treats them like dogs.”

As Listen spoke, Fei Qianqiong felt he was speechless. Fei Qianqiong, who wasn’t superstitious, couldn’t help but want to find someone to do divination for him and see whether he was the reincarnation of the God of Bad Luck. Why had he encountered so many unlucky things in a day?

The strange, fierce tiger’s black shadow circle was clearly the prototype of a domain. Although it hadn’t formed the domain yet, it was infinitely close. This meant that this hunchbacked old man was a true king-class expert.

Even Fei Qianqiong, at full strength, couldn’t handle a few moves from a pinnacle king-class expert, let alone the fact that his main fey, the Blood-Toothed Cricket’s Willpower Rune, had been stripped away, and it was no longer a Fantasy Breed.

The hunchbacked old man looked at Listen, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. Then he glanced at Fei Qianqiong and said, “What the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s dogs think has nothing to do with me. If they’re disobedient, they’ll obey with more training.

“Our Zheng family trains them well, unlike the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce that trained their own dogs to betray them.

“You have to take note that such turncoats cannot be tamed.”

The hunchbacked old man, also known as Elder Niu by Young Master Zheng’s side, was puzzled.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was just an empty shelf. How blind was Fei Qianqiong to betray the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce to help Listen instead?

Was it because of the news he had released that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had found the support of a major faction?

If that was true, would the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce still be suppressed so badly by the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce?

Was Fei Qianqiong stupid? Did he believe such rumors?

If he told Fei Qianqiong he could quickly comprehend a Willpower Rune by burying himself in the soil, would he really do so and suffocate?

When Fei Qianqiong heard this hunchbacked old man’s words, he suddenly felt some sadness. If he hadn’t chosen to live between life and death previously, he wouldn’t have used the Willpower Rune to swear to become Listen’s servant and betray the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce.

He had been working for the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce for so many years, and both his merits and hard work were definitely above Bi Chengxiong’s.

However, Bi Chengxiong had to suspect everything, and Fei Qianqiong had to endure his inflexibility.

In the eyes of the Zheng family, he was just a dog from the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce. This explained the attitudes of Bi Chenghu and Bi Chengxiong toward him when facing the Zheng family.

At that moment, Listen said, “Since the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce and the Zheng family love dogs so much, I guess your surname is not Zheng, right?”

Listen’s words immediately made Elder Niu’s expression change. The regret in his eyes was replaced by gloominess.

Listen added, “I, Listen, and the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce never raise dogs. Since Fei Qianqiong has joined the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, he is one of our own from now on.”

Fei Qianqiong glanced deeply at Listen and took a step forward before summoning his two feys.

After summoning the Diamond II/Fantasy II Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu and the Diamond IV/Legend Blood-Toothed Cricket, he assumed a defensive stance in front of Listen.

Elder Niu tapped his walking stick on the Dark-Eyed Scorpion Tiger’s back. It could sense the anger in its owner’s heart, so it let out a violent yet silent roar.

Then a strange dark energy ripple swept Fei Qianqiong and Listen.

Fei Qianqiong immediately shouted, “Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu, use Gu Poison Whipping Touch! Blood-Toothed Cricket, use Sound of Cricket!”

As Fei Qianqiong shouted, the Diamond II/Fantasy II Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu shot whip-like light from its antenna that collided with the dark energy ripple and dispersed a part of it.

However, this dark energy ripple regained its form while rippling. Then the Blood-Toothed Cricket instantly let out a violent buzzing sound, and layers of invisible and massless violent sound waves crashed into the dark energy ripple. Unfortunately, it was like a stone thrown into a stream.

Although the dark energy ripples rippled, it couldn’t stop the dark energy ripples from heading to the two people.
