Conquer a Mountain And Become The Great King - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: The Troublemakers Are Here

“You… What kind of a martial arts skill did you use?” Wu Zhangkong asked, staring at Han Dapeng in disbelief and frustration. Su Yu had defeated in the same way previously.

“I’m just here to plow Great King Mountain’s land. Do I need any martial arts skill to deal with you?” Han Dapeng said arrogantly with a cold laugh.

“You!” Wu Zhangkong’s face turned red, clearly infuriated. He opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Who else is here to create trouble?” Han Dapeng questioned arrogantly, tossing the hoe onto the ground while facing the crowd bare-chested.

*This…*

Everyone looked at each other as a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. Most of them belonged to their clans’ younger generation, and their true battle prowess was not impressive. Since Han Dapeng had effortlessly defeated Wu Zhangkong, no one dared to step forward at all.

“Brother Han, you’ve misunderstood. We are only here to discuss matters of cooperation, not to create trouble,” Liu Siyuan smiled and said as he stepped forward as if nothing had happened just now.

“Cooperation?” Han Dapeng asked doubtfully with a frown.

“The Great King Mountain’s rice has shot to fame and become a household name in the entire East Delta County. How can the Bai Clan manage the business rights to such wonderful rice alone? The Liu Clan, Wu Clan, and other of East Delta County’s clans are not willing to accept this.”

“The Bai Clan is the wealthiest in East Delta County, and we’ve been merchants since ancient times. It’s only right to hand the business rights to us! What are you people upset about?” Bai Xiaolong retorted, staying close to Han Dapeng.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the Great King Mountain did not produce much rice, and they were short in supply for the East Delta County. People would line up to buy rice every morning, but the rice was limited to 500g for each customer, and they would only sell 25kg of rice per day at the price of 50 mid-grade spirit stones per 500g. Who wouldn’t be jealous of such profits?

If there was an increase in rice production and rice supply, and it got distributed all over the Five Deltas Continent, it would be spectacular. They would be earning a fortune by then.

“Brother Han, please ask Brother Su to come out. I promise the conditions that we offer will be several times better than the Bai Clan,” Liu Siyuan said politely.

“Stop being so exaggerated! You may raise the conditions, but the Bai Clan can offer better conditions too! We won’t mind going to great lengths!” barked Bai Xiaolong. He was pure-hearted and thus revealed his trump cards.

“Is that so? What conditions have you offered now then?” Liu Siyuan asked with a smile, making it seem like a casual question.

“The Bai Clan—”

“Young Master Liu, you don’t have to worry about what conditions the Bai Clan has offered. Although I’m not that much of a righteous gentleman, I won’t go back on my word since I’ve already agreed to cooperate with the Bai Clan. Young Master Liu, please don’t worry.” Just as Bai Xiaolong had almost revealed his “trade secret”, Su Yu walked out and stopped him in time.

As soon as Bai Xiaolong saw Su Yu, he immediately dashed as if he had seen his backer. He exclaimed excitedly, “Brother Su, I knew you were honorable and righteous enough to not break off the cooperation with our Bai Clan! All of you have come here to the Great King Mountain with evil intentions. You’re just jealous of the Bai Clan.”

Han Dapeng looked at Su Yu in shock before he was immediately riled up and full of energy. No longer paying attention to the matter, he picked up the hoe and focused on plowing the land.

Since the Mountain Great King has appeared, I must perform well. Plowing the land is my righteous duty!

Everyone looked at Han Dapeng in surprise and bewilderment as they saw him plowing the land maniacally.

“Greetings, Brother Su.” Su Yu’s intervention did not anger Liu Siyuan. Instead, he looked at him smilingly and said, “Brother Su, it’s no doubt that you’re a man of your word, but in terms of business, profits are above everything else. Brother Su, why bother keeping your word over a verbal commitment?”

“That’s not right. When it comes to business, credibility is more important than profits. If there is no credibility, how can others trust you?” Su Yu said slowly, shaking his head. As the mountain’s owner, his voice contained a tinge of authority.

“Hah! Do you plan to go against all the clans in East Delta County?” Wu Zhangkong questioned in a hostile manner with fresh blood at the corner of his lips. “I know that the Great King Mountain should also have some background, but can you really go against the major clans in East Delta County?”

“Yeah, why should the Bai Clan get all the benefits? I’m willing to offer the same conditions!”

“The Qian Clan is willing to give you 10% more of the profits!”

“It’s only fair to allow the profits of such wonderful rice to be shared among numerous clans. The Great King Mountain should not have a monopoly over this rice. I suggest that the Great King Mountain reveal this rice’s secret cultivation technique!”

“Yes, reveal it!”

“Hand it over!”

…

“Shut up! Who are you people to talk to our king in such a manner!? Look at yourselves! How dare you stir trouble in the Great King Mountain?” Han Dapeng stopped plowing the land and stepped forward to look at them sneeringly. “Do you dare believe that I’ll rip your mouths!?”

Han Dapeng managed to suppress the crowd.

Su Yu smiled, and his eyes lit up. “Regardless of whether you believe it or not, this rice cannot be grown without me!”

“Only a fool would believe you!”

“Yeah, who are you trying to fool?”

“Hand over the seeds!”

…

“You don’t believe me?” Su Yu smiled and looked at the commotion’s ringleader. “Fine, I’ll sell the seeds to you.”

“Are you serious?”

Everyone asked with excitement and joy.

“Yes, but I have a condition!” Su Yu stretched out his finger and pointed at a middle-aged man in the crowd, who happened to be the leader. “From now on, none of the clans here can purchase anything from the Great King Mountain. All the clans that joined in the commotion will forever never qualify to become a distributor of the Great King Mountain’s items!”

As soon as Su Yu said those words, the people who had been clamoring just now were stunned and stood still on the ground in shock. The rest also shunned them like they were the plague, forming a large space around them. There were even some who gloatingly reported the clans’ names.

“Xiaolong, note down the names of these clans. They will be blacklisted forever!”

“Okay!” Bai Xiaolong was thrilled. He had long disliked those clans, and now, he finally had a chance to vent his anger.

“Su Yu, what rights do you have to not sell it to us?” someone hollered indignantly.

“Exactly, the Great King Mountain is so tyrannical. Aren’t you afraid of causing a public outrage?”

“Are we wrong? The Li Clan is not scared of the Great King Mountain!”

…

“What is the Li Clan? Do you think the Great King Mountain is a place for you small clans to cause a ruckus in? Hurry up and get lost!”

“Exactly, all of you are as noisy as dogs. The members of smaller clans are just so ill-mannered!”

…

Before Su Yu even said anything, there were all sorts of sarcastic remarks. The clans that had been watching the show had already begun driving them down the mountain. That was exactly what they wished for, as they would have lesser competitors.

Su Yu smiled. The conflicts between clans were endless, and naturally, they would not be unified. They were all out to watch each other make a joke out of themselves. As long as Su Yu tried to sow a little discord, they would turn against each other.

That served as a warning to others.

Let’s see if anyone will dare to coerce others into going against the Great King Mountain from now on!

Su Yu then took out a bag of seeds and said, “These are the rice seeds. I’ll sell 100 seeds to each clan, so that will be 10 superior-grade spirit stones in total!”

Each seed was sold for 10 gold coins in the store, equivalent to 10 low-grade spirit stones. 100 seeds would amount to 10 mid-grade spirit stones, so Su Yu instantly made a hundred-fold profit!

The various major clans had clearly gone to the Great King Mountain with sufficient money, which they had prepared beforehand.

They were all snatching hysterically, thinking that they would make huge profits…
