Cosmic Trading System

Seeing Wang Jie's power broken by Lin Yun, the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall also changed his expression slightly.

He had offered Lin Yun a stop and an annual salary of one million, hinting that Lin Yun should spare Wang Jie. Although Wang Jie's strength was far inferior to Lin Yun's, it was still respectable, enforcing the fact that Wang Jie was a pillar of their Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

But now, Lin Yun had shattered Wang Jie's martial power, not only causing the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall to lose a pillar, but also ignored his words.

If he couldn't win over Lin Yun and also lost Wang Jie, his martial arts hall would suffer considerable losses.

If he did manage to win over Lin Yun but was always ignored by him, managing him as a subordinate wouldn't be easy in the future.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of my proposition?" After weighing his options, the owner asked with a faint smile.

After some contemplation, he decided to abandon Wang Jie.

Even though he didn't know how Lin Yun managed to break Wang Jie, he couldn't deny that it had happened. He couldn't afford to lose the opportunity to sway Lin Yun over a doomed Wang Jie. It wouldn't be wise.

Witnessing this, many of the surrounding students looked at Lin Yun with anticipation.

An annual salary of a million! If they were in Lin's shoes, they would definitely accept the offer.

If Lin Yun were to agree, it would mean that Yinghao Martial Arts Hall had a formidable figure to rely on. As students of the martial arts hall, it would be a great honor. The wealthy ones could follow him to study martial arts, and the less fortunate could still have a chance to be guided by him if they frequented the martial arts hall.

He was so young and yet had such formidable strength. He must have had impressive martial arts experiences.

"Did you have a hand in Wang Jie's plot against my master?" Lin Yun asked, turning to the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

At Lin Yun's words, the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Lin Yun to raise this question at this time.

In a small place like Immortal Origin County, an annual salary of one million was a substantial temptation.

Most people would obviously neglect any wrongdoings in the light of such an offer, regardless of his involvement.

This kid was indeed a naive one.

The Yinghao Martial Arts Hall's owner was secretly annoyed, but in his intention to win over Lin Yun, he repressed his anger, and lightly replied, "Mr. Lin must be referring to the matter concerning Master Yan, right? I haven't interfered much in that matter. It was primarily managed by Wang Jie."

Lin Yun nodded slightly. His lie detector indicated that the other party was telling the truth.

Nevertheless, he did not intend to let it go.

Because, the other party said, he had not interfered much, but not that he hadn't interfered at all.

The other party might have had a small role, but he definitely could not escape the responsibility.

As the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, his words and actions probably shouldered a greater responsibility.

"Close down Yinghao Martial Arts Hall within three days, and this matter will be put to rest," Lin Yun said indifferently.

"What?" The owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was taken aback, and then incredulously asked.

Lin Yun, unaffected by the offer of a million in annual salary, had the audacity to demand that he close Yinghao Martial Arts Hall within three days?

"Do you know what you're saying?" The owner scoffed.

Who did this Lin Yun take him for, a common martial artist like Wang Jie?

He had invested over ten million in Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. Was he just supposed to shut it down because someone told him to?

Who was going to compensate his huge financial loss?

Who was going to compensate for the energy he spent building this?

He was polite to Lin Yun because he saw potential benefits from him!

That didn't mean he was afraid of Lin Yun!

As they had mentioned before, this was a society of law, not a society of force!

Money was far more important than force in such a society!

Was Lin Yun living in a fairy tale?

Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he had a bit of martial power?

"Within three days, close down Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, we'll end this matter. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!" Lin Yun gave the owner a deep look before turning to leave.

"Stop!" But before Lin Yun could take a few steps away, the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall yelled out loud.

Lin Yun stopped.

"You caused trouble in our Yinghao Martial Arts Hall and severely injured our two coaches without reason. Do you think you can just leave like that?" The owner said coldly.

"What do you want?" Lin Yun turned back to ask.

"Nothing, I just want you to accompany us to the officials and stand for justice for the two coaches of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall!" The owner said indifferently.

Just when his words fell, a voice sounded.

"Has someone called the police here?"

Several people in police uniforms walked in, the one speaking was a middle-aged man leading them.

"Officer Qian, hello. It was us, Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, that called the police. Here…" The owner walked over with a smile and began explaining the situation.

He had these police officers brought here.

To prevent any accidents.

Now was the time for them to act.

Using a mix of soft and hard tactics, this was the toughest play.

If Lin refused his offer, this would serve as punishment.

If his martial arts hall didn't retaliate after two of their coaches had been injured, one of them even permanently incapacitated, they would lose face.

"What a pity…"

"Indeed, it's a pity. He didn't agree earlier, and now even if he wants to, it's probably too late!"

"Yinghao Martial Arts Hall isn't a simple place, threatening the owner is asking for trouble!"

"Now, not only did he lose the chance of earning a million a year, but he might also need to go to prison for badly injuring two people, who knows how many years he might have to serve…"

Many of the surrounding students sighed upon seeing this scene.

They all felt pity for Lin Yun.

On one hand, he was offered an annual salary of one million, and treated with great respect by the boss.

On the other hand, he was facing imprisonment, the duration unknown, all his reputation would vanish.

In their eyes, Lin Yun had indeed suffered a huge loss.

Lin Yun's words had been very dominant, earning silent admiration in their hearts. But the reality was too harsh...

In ancient times, one would acquire knowledge and martial arts to serve the emperor.

Nowadays, one would acquire knowledge and martial arts to serve the rich and powerful.

This Lin Yun, in the end, was merely an ordinary martial artist. His "power" was still too weak.

"Mr. Lin, if you agree to my recruitment now, I can plead on your behalf. After all, we are in a martial arts hall, and it's quite normal for us to spar with each other. Some injuries are inevitable," the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall once again walked towards Lin Yun, smiled lightly, and said.

His tone was very assured, as if Lin Yun was already within his grasp.

No wonder he was so confident.

Between a million-dollar annual salary and a prison sentence, anyone but a fool would know how to choose.

As long as Lin Yun agreed to join Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, he could make Lin Yun fall into line.

"Huh?"

At that moment, the chief, whose surname was Qian, recognized Lin Yun and was taken aback.

Mr. Lin?

Wasn't this the same Lin Yun he had encountered in Wangxian Tower this morning?

Indeed, Chief Qian was one of Secretary Zhu's entourage whom Lin Yun met in Wangxian Tower. Back then, Chief Qian was ready to handcuff Lin Yun!

Damn it!

What was Zhang Zijun thinking? Letting him provoke such a disaster?

Chief Qian cursed inwardly.

Yes, he was the head of Immortal Origin County!

But Lin Yun, who could casually flash a bank card with over a billion in it, was definitely no ordinary person.

Truth be told, Lin Yun could crush him just by throwing money!

Zhang Zijun was the name of the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to find you here. I now understand the situation completely. It was merely a normal sparring match between martial arts halls. We, the authorities, have discussed this matter before and decided to relax our intervention..." Chief Qian turned to Lin Yun and hurriedly said.

"We are done here, let's go!"

After saying this, Chief Qian turned around and left, disregarding Zhang Zijun's reaction.

The other officials were left dumbfounded.

What happened? This was not what they had discussed earlier.

But the officials, able to survive in this environment, weren't fools. They quickly realized that something unexpected might have occurred.

Seeing Chief Qian leaving first, they all hurried to catch up.

Only the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was left standing in confusion.

"Let's go,"

Lin Yun said calmly and turned to leave.

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh!"

Xing'er Lee was stunned, hearing Lin Yun's command only after a few moments. She quickly nodded and followed.

Then, she excitedly followed Lin Yun towards the main entrance of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.

At this moment, she greatly admired Lin Yun.

Senior Brother Lin was simply too incredible.

Wang Jie, renowned for his martial arts and known as the number one fighter in Immortal Origin County, was not even able to withstand a single move from Senior Brother Lin. He had been brought down within two moves of Senior Brother Lin, rendering him helpless. That was truly awe-inspiring.

Seeing even the high ranked official being very polite and not daring to offend him in the slightest, she admired Lin Yun even more.

"Damn, what's going on?"

"What the heck is Lin Yun's status?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that Chief Qian was actually scared off..."

"I know Chief Qian, he is a high-ranking official in Immortal Origin County with significant power. And was scared off by Lin Yun, who must be of no ordinary status..."

"This Lin Yun is so amazing!"

Seeing this scene, many of the students were stirred up and began expressing their excitement.

As mere students of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, they held no real loyalty towards it.

Lin Yun, young yet highly skilled, instilled fear in even the most powerful official in Immortal Origin County. He, youthful and good-looking, immediately became an idol to many of them. While the students were more than willing to sacrifice for their idol, what did shutting down the Yinghao Martial Arts Hall really mean to them?

Furthermore, they overheard that Yinghao Martial Arts Hall might shut down in the next three days. If it really happened, they could simply request some refund, couldn't they?

If they didn't get a refund, they could take some of the equipment inside, which would be worth the money they had paid.

Zhang Zijun wore a sullen expression. Nonetheless, upon seeing Chief Qian's reaction, he dared not hinder Lin Yun any further.

Moreover, Lin Yun was so powerful that without those officials around, no one from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall could stop him from leaving.

It seemed he was indeed headed for a fall.
