I Have Unlimited Dantians-Chapter 68 - 59: In Debt

A Money Shop was just like a bank; no matter how much money it held, it belonged to the depositors. The last time, Li Fu had been tricked by Nie Yun and lost nearly all his money, leaving him unable to pay back the depositors. He had likely already transferred all of his personal assets in secret and was planning to flee. Who would have thought that at this very moment, Nie Qiang would come to take over the Fuyung Money Shop? This was perfect. Just as Li Fu was agonizing over how to clean up this mess, someone showed up to take the misfortune off his hands. How could he possibly refuse such a golden opportunity?

In other words, by transferring the Fuyung Money Shop to his name, not only would Nie Qiang fail to gain a single cent, but he would also be saddled with a massive debt from the depositors!

The poor fool still thought he had struck it rich and was now gloating and showing off to them...

Ignorance is truly bliss. If this counted as making a profit, then even a complete fool could probably achieve it just by taking a walk outside!

In truth, being deceived this way didn’t necessarily mean Nie Qiang was an idiot. The Fuyung Money Shop had an enormous reputation throughout all of Luoshui City, hailed as the top establishment outside of the Four Great Families. No one would ever suspect that the Money Shop had no money! It was the kind of institution that, even if it were drowning in debt, no outsider would ever know. If it were offered to someone for free, they would surely accept without hesitation.

Of course, Yangg Yan knew the Fuyung Money Shop was broke, but he didn’t say a word. After all, speaking up would implicate him and Nie Yun in the swindle, which would only bring more trouble.

Suppressing his laughter, Yangg Yan offered a compliment. "So this is the transfer agreement for the Fuyung Money Shop. Young Master Nie, you’re truly amazing for managing to get this. I suppose the Nie Family is about to strike it rich..."

He said they were about to strike it rich, but Yangg Yan knew that as soon as the depositors learned the Money Shop had no money, they would all rush to collect their debts at once. When that day came, the entire Nie Family’s economy would utterly collapse!

"Hehe, no need to be so polite, everyone. If you just choose me as the Alliance Leader, I can let you all use this money for free. I wouldn’t even mind giving you a share of the Fuyung Money Shop’s assets!"

Nie Qiang waved his hand grandly, displaying the magnanimity and grace of an Alliance Leader.

"A share of the Fuyung Money Shop’s assets? I wouldn’t dare..." Yangg Yan quickly waved his hands. ’Is he kidding? If I accepted a negative asset like that, I’d just be shooting myself in the foot!’

"Hmph!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Feng Xiao and Chen Xing didn’t know as much as Yangg Yan, but when they saw Nie Qiang acting as if he were bestowing charity, they couldn’t help but snort in disdain as well.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

Just as Nie Qiang was feeling ecstatic, believing the trio was "stunned" by his assets, a shout suddenly rang out from outside. The gray-clothed youth from the Money Shop approached, his face a mask of anxiety.

"Hehe, have you calculated the Fuyung Money Shop’s assets already? Hmm, as expected of my most capable subordinate. That was fast!"

Seeing the man had returned so quickly, Nie Qiang nodded in excitement.

’I managed to get the Fuyung Money Shop this fast all thanks to this subordinate’s competence... I should consider what position to promote him to when we get back...’

"That’s not it, Young Master! I have something to report..." The gray-clothed youth was startled to see his master had misunderstood his purpose and hurriedly spoke.

"Something to report? Don’t tell me the Fuyung Money Shop’s true value is even greater than I thought. Has it surpassed a million taels of silver? Hehe, it’s fine. These men are my friends. Go ahead and say whatever you need to!" His mind clouded by confidence, Nie Qiang gave a magnanimous wave of his hand, making a show of his broad-mindedness and proving he had nothing to hide!

"Well..." The gray-clothed youth glanced around, still hesitating, not daring to reveal the truth.

"What is it? Don’t tell me you acquired the Fuyung Money Shop through coercion and the original owner is here to cause problems..." Yangg Yan knew what the youth wanted to say, but since he couldn’t be the one to reveal it, he made a sarcastic jab.

"Spit it out! I’ll have your head if you keep stammering!" Nie Qiang’s face flushed, and he snorted coldly.

"Yes..." Seeing his master’s fury, the gray-clothed youth squeezed his eyes shut and grit his teeth. "It’s like this: I checked the Fuyung Money Shop’s vaults, and there isn’t a single coin inside. After checking the accounts, it’s running a deficit of a full nine hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver. In other words, the Money Shop isn’t just unprofitable—it has a debt of over nine hundred thousand taels!"

Having blurted out the news in a single breath, the gray-clothed youth sighed in relief and cautiously peeked his eyes open.

The room was utterly silent for a moment before Yangg Yan burst out laughing. "Haha! Young Master Nie, is this what you call ’making a profit’? A debt of nine hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver! Hahaha, you’ve made quite the fortune!"

"Now we’ve really seen it all. The Nie Family must be incredibly rich and powerful to dare take on a business like this. How impressive!" Chen Xing chimed in.

"So wealthy! Young Master Nie, I’m truly impressed! For a prestigious Young Master of the Four Great Families to use his ’brilliant strategy’ to end up worse off than a common street beggar... Amazing. Truly amazing!" Feng Xiao added his own jab.

"You..." Hearing the taunts from the other three young masters, Nie Qiang was so enraged he nearly choked. He unleashed all of his fury on the gray-clothed youth in front of him. "You useless piece of trash! Get out!"

With a roar, he kicked out. CRACK! The youth was sent flying out of the room, landing in a heap on the ground, his fate uncertain.

"Hmph! I may not be the wealthiest, but when it comes to fighting, which one of you is my opponent?" With all pretenses shattered, Nie Qiang dropped his facade. He shot to his feet, overlapped his palms, and shoved them forward.

RUMBLE!

Thick, powerful True Qi surged forward like a raging tide, wave crashing upon wave. Even a Peak Powerhouse of Body Emergence Realm would be utterly annihilated if caught in the torrent!

"Yangtze River Triple Wave at the Great Success stage? You’ve actually cultivated this Martial Art to Great Success?"

Seeing this move, Chen Xing leaped to his feet, his eyes wide with utter shock.

The Yangtze River Triple Wave was the exact Noble Top-Grade Martial Art that had been auctioned off by those two mysterious figures. He had secretly copied it and had been attempting its cultivation for the past few days, only to find that the Profound Mystery of the technique was far beyond his comprehension. He had practiced for days without making the slightest bit of progress!

And yet here was Nie Qiang, who had won the Martial Art at the auction, and in just a few days, he had already cultivated it to the Great Achievement Realm!

’No wonder he was so confident in his own power. With such a formidable Martial Art in his arsenal, how could the three of us possibly be a match for him?’

"That’s right. Let me be clear with you all: I have a unique, heaven-sent talent for comprehending Martial Arts. Now that I have mastered this technique to the level of Great Success, who here can possibly be my opponent?"

Seeing that he had achieved his desired effect, Nie Qiang let out a great laugh, hooting with excitement.

"Who could be my opponent?"

Seeing how smug he was, Yangg Yan gave him a peculiar look.

"Naturally! You and I are at the same Realm, but I possess such a powerful Martial Art. Do you really think you could defeat me?" Nie Qiang said, displeased by Yangg Yan’s expression.

"With strength like yours, do I even need to fight you myself?" Seeing his opponent’s boundless confidence, Yangg Yan was left speechless. With a flick of his wrist, he drew the Fiery Flame Axe from his back. Without even rising from his seat, he casually swung his axe, executing the Chi Xiao Divine Axe First Technique!

CRACKLE!

Before Nie Qiang could even react, his Yangtze River Triple Wave was cleaved in two by the single axe strike. He was immediately crushed by an immense force, slamming him face-first onto the floor like a dead dog.
