Chapter 24
C24 – Fifty Million!
“Mr. Pei, we’ve come to an understanding then. The Super Martial Club eagerly awaits your visit.”
“Master Qian, your thoughtfulness is unparalleled.”
“Mr. Pei, please, just call me Qian.”
They had struck a preliminary deal.
Qian Wenwei extended an invitation to Pei Yu to join the Super Martial Club with an exceptional offer, appointing him as the Master of the Fourth Branch.
Essentially, to secure Pei Yu’s allegiance, the Super Martial Club had created a new branch for him to oversee.
This extraordinary offer left the other two Masters in awe.
Once Pei Yu had departed, Zheng Xiaoyue approached and questioned, “Head Master, is he truly a Grandmaster? Does he merit such a significant investment from us?”
“Head Master, he’s barely in his twenties. Can he really be that remarkable?” Zhuo Duoge inquired, his face etched with skepticism.
Both were Grandmasters at the Super Martial Club, yet they had never been afforded such privileges.
Now, they watched a younger, less seasoned junior receive such honors, and it didn’t sit well with them.
“Do you doubt my judgment? He may be just twenty, but I’m convinced that within five years, the Super Martial Club will rise with his help. Then, the Golden Sun Martial Club won’t be the sole dominant force,” Qian Wenwei retorted with a scoff.
He then stepped into his car, leaving Zheng Xiaoyue and Zhuo Duoge to sigh in resignation, not daring to challenge him.
Still, they harbored lingering doubts.
Pei Yu hadn’t anticipated the Super Martial Club’s swift action. They had located him in less than a day after his victory over Bian Fenjiang.
Nor had he expected today’s matters to resolve so smoothly.
The day before, Pei Yu had slain Pei Sheng, a fact that Qian Wenwei was aware of. Qian Wenwei sought a strong rapport with him, a silver lining courtesy of Pei Sheng.
Otherwise, a confrontation with the Super Martial Club would have been inevitable.
Yet, Qian Wenwei had opted to sacrifice Bian Fenjiang to curry favor with him, a move that showcased his strategic foresight.
Upon returning home, Pei Yu found his account fifty million richer, courtesy of Qian Wenwei’s transfer.
The 50 million was transferred to Pei Yu under the guise of a bounty for capturing the fugitive Pei Sheng. Pei Yu didn’t hesitate to accept it—he was in dire need of cash.
“Now that I have this 50 million, I can afford to indulge in some premium novels,” he mused.
Summoning the system interface, Pei Yu located “God of the Sword.” Just as he was about to make the purchase, another novel caught his eye, one that seemed even more intriguing.
Title: Lethal Punch
Genre: Great God Novel
Chapters: 880
Price: 20,000 yuan per chapter
Synopsis: The ultimate fist-fighting technique that can unleash devastating damage, building upon one’s base combat value—ideal for close-quarters combat.
“Wow, this looks incredible. Too bad it’s a Great God Novel and I’m not authorized to read it. If I were, I’d snap it up in a heartbeat,” Pei Yu lamented, his interest piqued but access denied.
Just then, the system chimed in, “Host’s realm has been detected at Fifth Grade, and your strength now meets the Grandmaster standard. Are you ready to break through?”
Hope sparked within Pei Yu at the system’s prompt. “I’d nearly forgotten about my combat value. I’m right on the verge of a breakthrough. Well, no time like the present—let’s do this.”
Choosing to advance, Pei Yu felt a jolt surge through him. In an instant, his realm achieved a breakthrough! With ample experience under his belt, the transition was smooth. From that moment on, he was officially a Grandmaster.
