“Zhang-dashao, Brother Wang Dong, what a coincidence!” Zhang Che greeted amiably on the outside, but he was cursing inwardly.

-Why did Wang Dong have to move so quickly? I haven’t even found the exotic beast he discovered, and he is already here with a huge group in tow!-

Now that Zhang Yujie was here with such a big group, each person with respectable strength, it truly was a little troublesome going forward.

Although Zhang Yujie and his men’s subdued beasts were only gold-quality at best, their levels were high. A five-star gold-quality beast could knock out a three-star dark gold-quality beast easily. Even if his gold-quality beasts had no skills, the Purple Jade Condor wouldn’t be a match for them.

It couldn’t be helped; the difference between low-tier and mid-tier wasn’t something a single tier of quality could make up for, not to mention there was a difference of two levels between three-stars and five-stars.

“Hur, what a coincidence, indeed! I didn’t expect to bump into Brother Sun Che here,” Zhang Yujie smiled stiffly, as he was similarly cursing inwardly.

How could he have anticipated that despite rushing here immediately after hearing from Wang Dong, someone would be here before him?

He might act according to the opposite party’s strength if it were someone else, to see if they could forcefully snatch away this area.

Alas, the person standing before him right now was Sun Che, who had massacred the Tian Yin Squad effortlessly!

This matter just got complicated!

Zhang Yujie still remembered the desolate scene at the hilly area vividly. An area of a hundred-meter radius looked as if a huge plowing machine had turned the area upside down.

The huge rock was especially of note. It was actually split cleanly in two in the middle, with the cut surface extremely smooth. Obviously it wasn’t done with pure brute force.

This struck a little fear in him.

Unlike Zhang Yujie, who had countless thoughts flying through his mind, Wang Dong was showing a dejected expression.

This big shot known as Sun Che arrived here before them, and from the looks of it, he was familiar with Zhang Yujie, too. Wasn’t his million dollar information fee as good as gone down the drain?

He squeezed a smile on his face forcefully, nodding at Zhang Che, who was sitting on Hanxue’s back, “Hah, it’s quite a coincidence, to bump into big brother here.”

Each of them had their own thoughts, and fell into an awkward silence.

After a brief moment, it was Zhang Che who spoke up first. He looked at Zhang Yujie, whose expression was constantly changing subtly, and asked, feigning ignorance, “Is Zhang-dashao here to hunt exotic beasts, too? Then, should we partner up? We’ll split the beast cards according to our contributions.”

-Who the hell would want to partner up with you!?-

Zhang Yujie glanced at the hovering Purple Jade Condor over Zhang Che’s head fearfully, stretching his lips into a smile stiffly, shaking his head, “Nah, we better not. How could I fight for exotic beasts with Brother Sun? Not to mention, we’re only passing by. It’s just that we didn’t expect to run into you coincidentally.”

After saying that, Zhang Yujie turned to look at Wang Dong, asking him seriously, “Oh, right, how much further is the place you were talking about? We’d better hurry. It’d be bad if someone else was there before us.”

Wang Dong was taken aback, before reacting swiftly, “Ah? Oh, there’s still quite a distance to go. We’d better set off soon, Zhang-shao.” He looked around seriously, then pointed in a direction.

“Then we better hurry up!” Zhang Yujie responded with a grave expression, before revealing a faint smile and nodding at Zhang Che, saying, “Then, Brother Sun, we’ll excuse ourselves here.”

After bidding farewell, Zhang Yujie took the lead and sped off in the direction Wang Dong indicated, the group of twenty following closely behind him.

Wang Dong waved briefly at Sun Che, before giving chase in a hurry.

——

-They left, just like that?- Zhang Che was stunned, not understanding what Zhang Yujie was playing at.

Originally, he was considering what he should do if Zhang Yujie tried to force him to cede this area to them. Should he refuse resolutely, or should he give in to them and replace another place to hunt exotic beasts?

Who would’ve thought that Zhang Yujie would play such an unconventional card? They were obviously much stronger than him, and reasonably speaking, Wang Dong was the first to discover this place. Even so, they actually left, just like that!

How baffling!

If we really had to talk about how modest Zhang Yujie was, him going to search another area just because Zhang Che arrived here first was obviously impossible!...

So, what was he afraid of?

Zhang Che naturally had no idea that Zhang Yujie’s estimation of his strength was ridiculously off, so he chose to leave immediately.

In Zhang Yujie’s opinion, destroying his relationship with Zhang Che for the sake of an exotic beast whose strength was unclear wasn’t worth it. Moreover, the beast world was such a vast place. Did he have to worry about not replaceing other high quality beasts? There was no need to risk his relationship with Zhang Che.

“They’re gone, so be it. That’s for the best.”

Zhang Che shook his head and tapped Hanxue’s neck, wanting to replace the exotic beast Wang Dong discovered as soon as possible.

Although Zhang Yujie had left for unknown reasons, there might be other powerful beastmasters passing by here. It’d be really bad if they interfered while he was battling the exotic beast.

——

“Dashao, we’re leaving, just like that?”

“Yeah, dashao, that kid doesn’t look very powerful. Why do we have to pass up on such a good opportunity?”

Zhang Yujie’s group travelled quite some distance, and some of the beastmasters started discussing things softly.

“What do you know? Does dashao have to seek your agreement before doing anything?”

Before Zhang Yujie could put a word in, Xiaoru, the fierce-looking man by his side all the time, stared at them, roaring, “You haven’t seen how fearsome that kid is! Do you know of the Tian Yin Squad-”

“Silence, Xiaoru!” Zhang Yujie turned to glare at him. Other than those who made the trip with him then, no one else knew of the matter regarding the Tian Yin Squad.

After all, acquiring the Herculean Crossbow machines was a huge matter. The fewer people who knew about it the better, before they got any results from their research!

After stopping Xiaoru, Zhang Yujie immediately halted in place, sweeping his gaze across everyone, saying sternly, “Keep this in mind: That Sun Che from before holds unfathomable strength, and has some friendly ties with me. You’d better be polite to him if you see him in the future. Don’t ever have any conflict with him. Understand!?”

The group came to a sudden realization. – So it was like that! I knew it; someone as influential as dashao wouldn’t have left silently just like that!-

The group nodded one after another in acknowledgement. Zhang Yujie was a respected figure within the Ding Feng Corporation, and also the successor to the corporation. No one would challenge his authority mindlessly.

“Good. Going forward, we’ll search around this area. Since we’re already out here, we can’t possibly return empty-handed,” Zhang Yujie nodded in satisfaction. He shifted his gaze to Wang Dong, who was standing by the side awkwardly.

Before he could say a word, Wang Dong took the initiative and said, “Hah, erm... it really is an accident this time. I didn’t expect that Sun Che to arrive here before us. Zhang-dashao, and everyone here, I’ll... excuse myself first?”

Wang Dong felt as if a heavy burden was lifted off his chest when Zhang Yujie waved his hand somewhat impatiently. He rode his Elephorse in another direction, cursing inwardly, -That freaking Sun Che is like my jinx! Nothing good ever happens whenever I bump into him!-
