C129 Gong Lei's Decisiveness

Under Gong Lei's personal instructions, a banquet was quickly prepared. As for Chu Tian and Zi Ling, they sat on the seats of honor with Gong Lei and Xu Banshui.

Given Xu Banshui's status, he shouldn't be sitting here. However, because of the close relationship between Xu Banshui and Chu Tian, Gong Lei allowed the latter to sit on the seat of honor.

"Brother Chu Tian, I had an urgent matter last time, so I was unable to properly entertain you. Please forgive me for being rude. I will punish myself with a cup of wine first."

After Gong Lei finished speaking, he also drank a mouthful of wine in a forthright manner.

"Senior Gong Lei, you are being too serious. I have also heard about the matters of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, I won't blame you. However, I have come to the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce this time because I wish to help your chamber of commerce tide through this crisis." Chu Tian said.

"Brother Chu Tian, you are being too polite. You are a distinguished guest of Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce. How can I let you take such a risk?" Gong Lei shook his head and refused.

"Senior, there is an inseparable relationship between the Chu family and the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce. So when I saw the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce in trouble, I naturally couldn't stand idly by. Boss Xu also lent a helping hand when the Chu family was in danger. If I turn a blind eye to it now... Wouldn't he be an ungrateful person?" Chu Tian said.

Gong Lei was slightly stunned, then he revealed a helpless smile.

"It seems like I still can't defeat you, Mr. Chu Tian. If that's the case, I, Gong Lei, will be indebted to you." Gong Lei said.

Chu Tian smiled and nodded. In this way, he would be able to openly interfere in the matters of Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce.

"Senior Gong Lei, I don't know much about the matters of Luosong Cult. I saw that you were facing a great enemy that day. Is this Luosong Cult really that powerful?" Chu Tian said.

"You haven't cultivated for a long time, so you haven't come into contact with the outside world. So it's normal that you don't know about it. This Luosong Cult isn't a simple existence. Its influence is said to be spread across more than a dozen countries, and it's a famous existence even in the mainland. My Cloud Rising Country is located in a remote area, so I haven't seen any traces of the evil cult. I never thought that the Luosong Cult has already spread their evil plot to this country." Gong Lei said.

"The existence of the Luosong Cult is indeed a great threat to the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce. Actually, I won't hide it from you, brother Chu Tian. Actually, we have also thought of withdrawing the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce from the Cloud Rising Country, but our Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce has been rooted in this place for many years. Moving them away won't be that easy. " Xu Banshui said.

Chu Tian was startled. If the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce left just like that, then the Chu family would be isolated and helpless. Without the supply of herbs from the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce, the Chu family's financial situation would be severely restricted.

"Senior Gong Lei, I have something that I don't know if I should say or not." Chu Tian said.

"Chu Tian, you are so loyal to the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce. Just say what you want to say. We are family." Gong Lei said with a smile.

"I think that although the Luosong Cult is terrifying, its power has been searching all over the world. It won't gather all of its forces here. If we work together... They're not necessarily no match for them." Chu Tian said.

Gong Lei fell into deep thought, while Xu Banshui sighed helplessly.

"Brother Chu Tian, if you say something without ambition, we will naturally think about what you think. But even if we can win over the Luosong Cult's henchmen hiding in the Cloud Rising Country, we will still suffer such humiliation. If the Luosong Cult were to hold a grudge against us, we wouldn't be able to fight back at all. " Xu Banshui said.

Gong Lei didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he had the same opinion. The Luosong Cult was actually so powerful. It wasn't worth it for them to take such a risk.

"Senior Gong Lei, I think there are three reasons why the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce isn't willing to leave Cloud Rising Country." Chu Tian said.

"May I ask what are the three reasons? I would like to hear more about them." Gong Lei looked deeply at Chu Tian.

"Firstly, the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce will definitely suffer heavy losses if they spend a huge amount of money to build this city. Secondly, the Luosong Cult might not go to war with the remote Cloud Rising Country. Thirdly, I have a good relationship with the current Third Prince, Qing Kangping. I intend to push him to the throne. At that time, I'm afraid that even the Luosong Cult will not do such a ridiculous thing as making the entire empire their enemy. " Chu Tian said.

Gong Lei only nodded at the first two points of Chu Tian, but when Chu Tian mentioned the third point, his eyes lit up and stared at Chu Tian.

"Brother Chu Tian, are you really going to push the Third Prince to the throne?" Gong Lei asked.

"Of course, you can't say such things casually, but I believe that there is still a chance of success." Chu Tian nodded without hesitation.

Gong Lei took out a letter from his pocket and opened it for Chu Tian to see what was going on. Chu Tian glanced at it and immediately understood what was going on.

This letter was sent by the Crown Prince. The content of the letter was about the hope that the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce could be his backer and help him ascend the throne.

Chu Tian fell silent. Although the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce was just a merchant guild, it was still a very important matter. However, the financial resources of the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce were probably comparable to the entire Cloud Rising Country. If he could have the support of the latter... Then there must be an advantage in the fight for the throne. Qing Zheng! Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid. He could still understand this point.

"What is Senior Gong Lei planning to do after reading this letter?" Chu Tian asked.

"Brother Chu Tian, aren't you asking the obvious? If I wanted to, I wouldn't have shown you this letter. Actually, I have been hesitating about whether or not I should participate in the competition for the throne. But if a genius like you, Chu Tian, is willing to help the Third Prince, I naturally know how to stand on his side." Gong Lei said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Gong Lei's words were naturally conveyed to all the members of Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce. When they heard that they were going to participate in the competition for the throne, their hearts were filled with apprehension. Some of their eyes had already started to drift erratically.

"President, I think it's too hasty to stand on such a team so easily. Although this young man called Chu Tian is very capable, our Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce has such a huge trading company. How can we make a decision so easily because of a single word from him? "

"That's right. Chairman, we also think that this is too hasty."

At this moment, many people stood up and expressed their opposition to Gong Lei's decision. Facing such a situation, Gong Lei just looked at the scene in silence.

After that, a strong wind blew and a bloody smell came from the battlefield. When everyone looked at the leaders, they had already lost their heads.

The one who attacked was the leader of Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce, Gong Lei. At this moment, the latter's eyes revealed a cold killing intent.

"It seems like I have been too lenient to all of you, to the point that none of you have taken me seriously. Is there anyone who still has a problem with my decision?" Gong Lei said.

Everyone lowered their heads when they heard this. Under Gong Lei's powerful means, none of them dared to speak. Perhaps they would be the next ones to be killed.

Gong Lei ordered his men to get rid of the corpse's head before sitting back down.

"I'm sorry that Brother Chu Tian allowed you to watch such a show. Those few men were the ones who accepted the bribes from the Crown Prince. Before this, I always turned a blind eye to them. Now, since you have already said so... I naturally have to set an example." Gong Lei looked at Chu Tian and said.

A smile appeared on Chu Tian's face. This Gong Lei was also an old fox. On one hand, he was loyal to him, and on the other hand, he had established his prestige and eliminated all the internal pests. It was killing two birds with one stone.

"I think it will be a big success if Senior Gong Lei can discuss such a big matter " Chu Tian said.

After that, Chu Tian and Gong Lei drank and chatted happily until late at night.
