Cosmic Trading System

Pillar Iron, the director of the East Suburbs, Immortal Origin County.

Today, he was in a terrible mood. He had gone to attend a wedding and encountered a formidable figure, his rival, who was also hosting the wedding. He had run afoul with this person, which brought him nothing but misfortune.

Initially, when he saw the situation, he was in high spirits.

Unexpectedly, at that instant, his son informed him that he had previously offended this powerful person. The news frightened him significantly.

Later, he thought of a way to make amends, but he wasn't certain if it would work.

This thought struck him when he was returning from the wedding.

A connected associate called him and said there was an issue that needed his attention. If it was convenient for him, he should send a couple of men to Lin's Manor.

Just after one upsetting incident, here was another that spoiled his mood further.

Lin's Manor, he was familiar with the place and promptly took his men there.

Originally, in cases like this, he would usually send two of his subordinates, and that would suffice.

But today, he wanted to go personally.

He wanted to see what was happening up close.

If he could find a target to vent his frustrations on, that person would be the unfortunate one.

Sure enough, they soon arrived at Lin's Manor.

A sense of power started to creep into Pillar Iron's heart.

This ability to determine people's fate filled him with a sense of arrogance.

In his opinion, this was how a man should live.

This time, he absolutely could not fail.

After returning, he would thoroughly consider how to resolve this issue.

He muttered to himself.

However, as soon as their vehicle had just entered Lin's Manor, he was almost scared off his seat.

Lin's Manor was quite small, what had he seen?

He saw a row of luxurious cars parked in the lanes, and men in black suits standing next to them.

Could this line of luxurious vehicles possibly be the same man of influence he encountered earlier that day?

And were these black-suited men his bodyguards?

Lin Yun… Lin Yun…

He muttered the name of the influential person, suddenly breaking out into a cold sweat.

There were many people in Lin's Manor named Lin, could it be…

Could it be that this Lin Yun was one of them?

If that was the case, he regretted his decision to come here.

Knowing that his son had offended the other party, he really didn't want to cross paths with him.

What if the other party had researched his background and knew his son had offended him? They initially may have let the matter go, but after seeing him, they might remember it and hold it against him. If so, he would really be out of luck.

But, he had already arrived here. He noticed a group of people in the distance, presumably the site of the incident, making it seemingly inappropriate to turn back now.

He gritted his teeth.

He decided he'd go forward regardless.

But, this time, he couldn't act according to his original plan.

It would be best to be fair and impartial.

At this moment, he didn't have time to worry about connections.

This incident occurred in Lin's Manor, so it very likely involved the Lin family.

If Lin Yun was indeed from Lin's Manor, and judging by the vehicles and the men in black, Lin Yun was most likely here. If he mishandled the situation, that would invite trouble upon himself. His son had already offended the influential person previously. If he drew attention to himself once more because of this incident, he wouldn't have anywhere to go to cry.

"So many rich people in Lin's Manor..." The luxurious cars attracted the attention of many people in the car, eliciting expressions of admiration.

"Director, what's wrong?" Suddenly, a young man noticed Pillar Iron's abnormality and asked curiously.

"No... nothing..." Pillar Iron flashed a brief smile and murmured.

No sooner had his words landed, he remembered something, quickly turned to his subordinates in the car, and said, "Remember, when you get there, watch your attitude, and be fair."

"Yes, director." Your journey starts at m_v le mpyr

"Understood, director."

Even though they were surprised by the director's instructions, which were different from the ones given before they embarked on this journey, everyone nodded in agreement.

In the end, they would do as their leader said.

While they were talking, they had already arrived at the outskirts of the crowd.

"Director Pillar Iron, to think that you personally came..." Seeing the people getting out of the car, Zhang Xi hurriedly greeted him, exclaiming excitedly.

Having the director personally come over, he felt honored.

It seemed like his influence was growing. Normally, the director wouldn't personally come for such an incident.

"Hmm, did you report this? What happened here?" Pillar Iron nodded solemnly and asked.

Despite being summoned by Zhang Xi, he couldn't show blatancy.

What's more, he had decided to handle today's matter impartially.

However, as he was speaking, his gaze swept over the crowd of people sprawled on the ground, and he was taken aback.

Zhang Xi's men dressed differently from the villagers. If he wasn't mistaken, the people knocked out on the ground were mostly Zhang Xi's men, weren't they?

A quick scan revealed at least fifty people on the ground.

Just how many people in Lin's Manor had Zhang Xi provoked for so many men to be laying on the ground…?

This was no small-scale brawl, it was large-scale physical confrontation, and many people must have been involved.

Lin's Manor was a small village with a sparse population. Given this situation, it made it more likely that the incident was related to Lin Yun.

With this thought, he started feeling uneasy.

"Director Pillar, today, we came to collect some vegetables. Lin Yun, relying on his physical prowess, wanted us to pay a high price for his family's vegetables. We declined, and he assaulted us… look at us… so many of our men were struck down by him…" Zhang Xi feigned innocence.

Director Pillar, whom he had summoned himself, maintained such a serious demeanor. Those who serve the government are... truly worthy of being government officials...

At this, Zhang Xi silently lauded him.

He was willing to cooperate.

While speaking, he purposely emphasized the involvement of Lin Yun.

Lin Yun hadn't raised a hand earlier, but he wouldn't let Lin Yun off.

"Just one person beat all of you?" Hearing Zhang Xi's words, Pillar Iron exclaimed in surprise.

Could it be? One person knocked more than fifty people to the ground? That was too exaggerated.

But soon, Pillar Iron figured out what was happening and was speechless.

This was surely a set-up by Zhang Xi, right? But, having one person batter more than fifty people like this… Wasn't this overacting just a bit?

He wondered who Zhang Xi wanted to get back at this time.

Such a big grudge, such deep hatred, that he would stage such a grand spectacle.

Too bad, he had decided to handle this incident impartially, so Zhang Xi's effort was in vain.

He shook his head in his heart.

If Zhang Xi knew Pillar Iron's thoughts at this moment, he would've surely burst into tears.

How could this be a fake? His men were truly beaten up quite horribly. The dull thumps, the miserable cries, even the sound of bones breaking, were definitely not fake. If Pillar Iron had arrived any later, he predicted he would've been beaten to the ground by now.

"Hold on… who did you just say beat you up…," Pillar Iron suddenly froze as he clued into the name Zhang Xi had mentioned. He hurriedly looked at Zhang Xi, speaking in an anxious tone.

As he spoke, he looked up and began scanning the standing crowd.

In the crowd, deliberately distanced from the rest, stood a youthful, nonchalant man, holding the hands of two elderly people.

Two men in black stood silently by his side, as stalwart as Iron Towers.

They were too conspicuous.

Pillar Iron's vision blackened, and he almost collapsed onto the ground.

This couldn't be happening. Was the person Zhang Xi provoked really Lin Yun?

This was too disastrous.

His son had conned him, his connected associate had conned him, just what had he done to have such bad luck recently...
