Chapter 1897 A Talk With Hu Yuan Ba

"Huh. You are early." Hu Yuan Ba, the Head of the Royal Zodiac Tiger Clan said as he saw Jin in the Amber Arbour looking at documents while waiting for the rest.

"Ehh…This is my store, isn't it? So technically I should be around." Jin did not exactly know if Yuan Ba was mocking him or not.

"No, usually those clan leaders who invited people to their homes or offices, are the last to arrive to show their significance for they owned the place. "You guys always do that? Or is it because it's to show your power?" Jin asked as he placed the documents aside and called for the Otter servant to receive the guests.

"I would not deny that habit. Eventually, it became a sort of culture. Coffee with a pot of sugar please." "Look after your health old man. You want your daughter Yang Ling to scold you?" Jin complained and told the otter to give him just one packet of sugar.

"I can use my cultivation to burn those sweets away. Just let me have my coffee in peace." Yuan Ba said as he told the otter to ignore the boss and listen to the customer. The Otter waiter then looked at Jin as if waiting for his instructions and Jin shook his head, expressing himself to let the Royal Zodiac Tiger do what he wanted.

"How's Yang Ling and your two other sons after I beat them up?" Jin shamelessly asked Yuan Ba as he waited for the rest.

"You seriously want to bring that up?" "I did return your territories to you after last night's discussion, did I not?" Jin said as he realised that he really did not need the factories even though it was nice to have them. Qiu Yue had done an analysis and noted that Pandapolis factories were churning out better productivity and revenue compared to what he had taken from the Tigers.

"The two sons did not want your pity territory so I gave it to Yang Ling to handle instead." "That's good. She definitely had what it takes to handle those territories." Jin nodded his head in agreement that it was a good decision that Yuan Ba gave it to his daughter to manage it. Because when Jin received those territories, the buildings were in such a poor state that he was baffled the place could still be running properly.

"But I heard you did maintenance and even upgrading the factories to their original state. Are you sure you are okay wasting your investments just like this?" Yuan Ba asked and Jin shrugged his shoulders. "I already returned it to you. Just stop fussing about it already." Jin said and Yuan Ba decided to open up to Jin a little more. "My two sons did not forget about what you did to them. They won't take it down easy and will probably want a rematch." "Meh, they can come anytime. My doors are open but please get some insurance for them in case they are injured beyond recognition." "What I meant is that they want to challenge you during this particular annual martial arts competition."

"Are they stupid or dumb? Or both? They want to lose their faces nationwide fighting with me?" Jin asked why Yuan Ba did not stop them.

"Sometimes, I think that I might have pampered more than I have done so for Yang Ling. They would not listen to reason and even ask several other private tutors.. erm masters to aid them with their cultivation." "I assume that they are forking out their own money to do this and you are not paying a single cent from it." "Hard to say, since I did give them quite a fair bit of allowance before Yang Ling officially took over some of my duties." Yuan Ba thanked the Otter Waiter for the coffee and started pouring a few spoons of sugar. It was only with Jin's initial warning that he decided to stop at the fourth scoop and put the sugar back. "Fine. Just know that I do not give any mercy or face to them if they challenge me." Jin said and Yuan Ba nodded. He still found it a pity that Yang Ling was not able to be with Jin ever since he found out from his Tigers that Jin was attached. Her gratitude towards him was boundless and he regretted that he was somewhat too tough against him despite all the things that Jin had done for his daughter. All he could do not was to repair the relations and make sure that if there was ever a chance for Jin to change his mind, his daughter could swoop in and grab Jin instead.

"Since the rest are a little late, then why don't we discuss the security details for the Tree Mall and the Dungeon Instance," Jin said and a voice came from the stairs.

"I am not a little late. I am on time." Yang Rou Xiang, the Leader of the Royal Zodiac Sheep Clan said as she slowly walked up the stairs and took a seat beside Jin instead of sitting beside the Tiger Clan's Head. "More than on time. On the exact dot as well." Jin said as he looked at his watch and Rou Xiang smirked.

"Now that the Pig is late and before we discuss official stuff, I am genuinely more interested in the thing you mentioned to me. Way more than this particular competition." "What thing can make the Sheep Clan Leader to be so riled up? She is normally not that agitated." Yuan Ba commented and Rou Xiang smiled widely.

"You might not believe it but with this innovation, it can entirely change the world's medical industry if Jin wants to." Rou Xiang commented and Jin gave a short grin as he too knew that this was a game changer as he gave a quick call.

"Give me a moment on that. Click, mind coming down and bringing us the prototypes? Our guest will like to see it."
