Chapter 1083: Doing Business with the Tong Clan

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After placing Iron Tiger’s group in the compound, Xia Fei headed off to the logistics department.

Before he had even gone inside, he saw numerous people with frantic looks on their faces going in and out. The logistics department was bustling, and after asking, he found out that the entire city had heard about what he had done to Sun Dajin’s house, and these people had all come to return their
money.

Not just natives of Garde 83, even a few people who did not live on the planet went to the Aurora Clan in fear of Xia Fei going and taking care of them if they paid a little late. The Aurora Clan had always been kind; if they returned the money now, they would not have to pay interest, but if Xia Fei came
knocking, they would have to pay on a ten-one rate, which would be awful. These people had owed the Aurora Clan for so many years that the accumulated interest could not be cleared even if they went bankrupt.

Wistful Northgaze spotted Xia Fei and waved him over, saying, “Xia Fei, the patriarch is looking for you. You should hurry to his study.”
*Whoosh!*

The mention of the name ‘Xia Fei’ caused everyone to fall quiet and look suspiciously at him. The rumors said that it was precisely this Xia Fei who had blasted down the Sun Clan’s estate. Could he truly be the person?

Xia Fei casually shrugged and followed someone to Wistful Heizus’s study. He knocked and entered; what greeted his eyes inside was Wistful Heizus smiling as he spoke to Tong Duoduo and Tong Jinliang.

Xia Fei found a sofa near the window to sit down. Lighting a cigarette, he asked, “Patriarch, what business do you have with me?”

Wistful Heizus replied, “The venerable master of the Tong Clan wishes to buy that healing-type soul weapon, the Golden Gavel. Since it’s your master who took out this soul weapon, I want to ask for your opinion.”

Tong Duoduo and Tong Jinliang looked over with expectant eyes.

Xia Fei said carelessly, “The soul weapon has already been gifted to the clan. Patriarch, you can handle this matter however you want. There’s no need to ask for my opinion.”

Wistful Heizus frowned and muttered, “The clan lacks combat soul weapons, and Elder Tong has offered a very good price. That’s why I think it is better to exchange the Golden Gavel for some soul weapons that the clan can use more.”
Xia Fei nodded and bowed to Tong Jinliang, asking, “What’s the price Elder Tong offered?”

Tong Jinliang replied solemnly, “two grade 5 soul weapons and six grade 4 soul weapons. Alll of them are high grade combat types.”

Xia Fei was startled, slapping his thigh as he exclaimed, “This pric
“What about it?” Tong Duoduo asked hastily.

“Tt really isn’t anything,” Xia Fei frowned and said. “My master has a lot of hobbies. While he is a Spiritualist, he doesn’t really like forging soul weapons, and only produce a new one every one or two years, I heard that he had used four units of Spirit Power for the Golden Gavel. It’s worth four grade 5 soul
weapons at the minimum.”

Tong Jinliang’s heart shuddered. Xia Fei truly had a big appetite, asking his clan for four grade 5 soul weapons. It must be understood that grade 5 soul weapons were almost priceless in the Alpha Universe, and Tong Jinliang would feel a lot of pain if he had to trade four of them for a grade 1.5
healing-type soul weapon.

Wistful Heizus also frowned, believing that Xia Fei had gotten a little too greedy. After all, the Golden Gavel was only at grade 1.5, and the Aurora Clan was already making a profit with two grade 5 soul weapons. Moreover, they were making this deal with the powerful Tong Clan. Having this relationship
established would make a lot of things much easier in the future.

Wistful Heizus had no idea that Tong Jinliang had essentially the same idea. Four grade 5 soul weapons was an astronomical price, but if he could make a connection with the master behind Xia Fei, then this money would not be spent in vain. After all, this was a Spiritualist of Healing! Perhaps even the
only one in the entire Alpha Universe.

“Heh, it’s rare to hear Brother Xia Fei speak. Since you think that it should be four, then let’s make it four!” Tong Jinliang waved his hand and breezily said.
“Grandfather, that’s too much, isn’t it?! Didn’t I tell you that the healing-type soul weapon is only grade 1.5?” Tong Duoduo pouted and said, thinking that her grandfather was being too generous.
Xia Fei smiled and said, “Miss Tong, if you think that the price is too high, you can stop the deal any time. It’s not a problem.”

Tong Jinliang saw that things were about to go poorly and hurriedly stopped Tong Duoduo, saying, “Some things can’t be valued with money alone. Let’s take this healing-type weapon as an example; it’s been many years since the universe last produced a Spiritualist of Healing, and the number of items
left by our forebears is dwindling by the day. As they say, rarity determines the price. While this soul weapon doesn’t have a high grade, it can heal the souls of others. If we hadn’t come early, there would probably be tons of people coming here trying to buy it. At which point, the price might be many
times greater.”

Xia Fei nodded. Tong Jinliang’s argument was reasonable. The greatest function of healing-type soul weapons was to repair damaged souls. For those people who urgently needed treatment, they would even go bankrupt to buy one. After all, no amount of money could bring back their life.

The Tong grandfather-granddaughter pair left, leaving Xia Fei alone with Wistful Heizus.
“Xia Fei, I heard that you used a soul cannon to flatten the Sun Clan this morning?” Wistful Heizus frowned and asked.

Xia Fei nodded. “That did happen.”

“Did you know that Sun Dajin’s son, Sun Xiaojin, is a patrolling inspector of Chaos Society?”

“Tknow.”

“Yet you still rashly attacked the Sun Clan?” Wistful Heizus said, raising his voice.

“Kill one to awe one hundred requires a forceful execution. If I flattened two ordinary civilian homes, not only would I not win anyone’s respect, I would only earn their scorn. Patriarch, be at ease. Xia Fei will take on any of the consequences,” Xia Fei said casually.

“Alright, alright.” Wistful Heizus concurred. “Putting aside the Sun Clan, I heard that you plan on setting up a school and taking only descendants of the clan as students, with those talented being sent to learn spirit arts, while those untalented being given soul weapons on graduation. What is that about?”
Xia Fei shrugged. “There’s truly such a thing, It is my master’s intention to take a disciple. Fertile waters shouldn’t be allowed to flow into the fields of others. Is there anything wrong with giving the opportunity to my clansmen first?”

“Did your master really say such a thing?” Wistful Heizus was startled. If this was not Xia Fei’s idea and, instead, the will of that mysterious Spiritualist, things would be entirely different. After all, everyone had to show respect and reverence to a Spiritualist.

Xia Fei nodded. “It is my master’s will.”

“Then the soul weapons?”

“That’s also my master’s will.”

Wistful Heizus did not have anything more to ask. After all, this was all the will of that Spiritualist, and he had no right to interfere. It was just that he could not understand what relationship that Spiritualist had with the Aurora Wist Clan for him to be so generous.

Xia Fei felt very calm about it. After all, his so-called master was just an excuse Xia Fei was using to correct the overly kind nature of the Aurora Clan.

Since there was nothing else, Wistful Heizus let Xia Fei go.

Not long after Xia Fei left, an old man appeared in Wistful Heizus’s study. His hair was white and his back was stooping; he even coughed from time to time.

“So that’s Xia Fei,” the old man muttered.

“Court Head, do you really plan to just let Xia Fei be? He’s flipped the entire clan upside down in the last few days,” Wistful Heizus asked.

The elder smiled and muttered, “I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with it. The clan does need to change. In the past, we had the help of a noble, so everything went smoothly and we didn’t suffer any great injustice.

“Now that the noble is gone, you can see what’s been happening to our clan. Without Xia Fei, we would’ve fallen to a third-tier clan. A different sort like Xia Fei appearing in the clan is like a breath of fresh air. Without something like this, decline is only a matter of time for the stagnant pool that is our
clan.

“We’ve had it easy for far too long, and the clansmen have lost their sense of danger. Let Xia Fei do whatever he wants.”

The elder sighed and disappeared. Wistful Heizus nodded at the air as he said, “Very well, I will do as you commanded.”

Xia Fei stayed in Courtyard 1 of the Aurora Clan for a few days before returning to the external compound. In truth, he preferred the compound, as there was peace and quiet in it, making it easy for him to go in and out.
However, Wistful Northgaze and his wife were unwilling to let him go, insisting that he stay in Courtyard 1. Xia Fei currently had other business to attend to, so he reported this to Wistful Northgaze, and then he returned to the compound.

After lunch, Xia Fei summoned Iron Tiger and his cousins.

“What are your thoughts about that matter I mentioned this morning?” Xia Fei asked.

Iron Tiger replied solemnly, “We did some research. Not far from Garde 83 is a planet under the control of our Sebastian Clan. The overseer there is a distant uncle of mine, and I plan to seek personnel from him.”

Xia Fei nodded. “Remember: I want the most ruthless and blackhearted people in the universe, but while they can be ruthless and blackhearted to others, I don’t want them to play any tricks in front of me. If I discover anyone not playing by the rules, I won’t care if they’re your relations.”
Xia Fei’s meaning was clear. He had gathered these people to teach Little Schott and the others, but he would not permit them to use their shameless and blackhearted methods on him.

“Naturally! If anyone disobeys Master, there will be no need for you to do anything, I, Iron Tiger, will twist off their heads!” Iron Tiger thumped his chest and promised.

Xia Fei chuckled as he took out a deerskin pouch from his ring. It was heavy and probably contained tens of thousands of pearls.

“Put this money in a safe place. You’ll naturally be generously rewarded if you do good work. Bring those people over for me to have a look, and anyone that I end up choosing will have free board and lodging, and ten thousand pearls of spending money on top of all that. If they do a good job, I’ll even give
them bonuses at the start and end of the year,” Xia Fei said casually.

Iron Tiger quickly said his thanks. They had served Xia Fei in the hopes that this Spiritualist would not seek vengeance. They had not expected that Xia Fei would not be petty at all. Not only had he let them live, he was even paying them money! Iron Tiger and his cousins were delighted.
The Sebastian Clan took on all kinds of dangerous jobs precisely for the money. Xia Fei was offering a hefty salary that would probably have tons of people from the Sebastian Clan willingly working for him.

After giving his orders, Xia Fei returned to his room and saw that Fuchen was waiting for him inside.

Fuchen had a somewhat unusual look on his face today. He pulled out a little golden bug from his sleeve and placed it on the table. “This came to find you, I presume? It barged into my formation and almost ended up losing its life.”

Xia Fei looked at the bug and went pale.

“Little Goldie!”
