Zhou Wei said, "I'll never dare to oppose you again! I swear!"
Chen Jie's heart stirred slightly.
Zhou Wei had been the eldest young master of the Zhou family. Even if he was arrogant, he had management experience.
If he let Zhou Wei manage the Poison Dragon's forces for him, it might be a solution.
Chen Jie said, "What? I killed your entire family, and now you're the only one left. You don't want to avenge them, but you want to be my dog? What's the difference between that and recognizing an enemy as your father?"
Zhou Wei quickly said, "They deserved to die! My parents deserved to die! My sister also deserved to die! How dare they offend you? They deserved their deaths!"
Everyone in the bar gasped.
They all looked at Zhou Wei in shock.
This guy was truly ruthless, saying his own family deserved to die.
At the same time, they secretly warned themselves. This young master was undergoing a transformation. If he survived today, he would surely achieve something in the future.
Chen Jie had the same thought.
Zhou Wei had suffered successive blows, which was the fastest period of growth for anyone. Regardless, in his current state, he was very suitable to be an underground leader.
"Young Master Chen, I sincerely want to follow you! Please give me a chance!" Zhou Wei kowtowed again, begging.
Finally, Chen Jie nodded. "Alright, from today onwards, you will take Poison Dragon's place and work for me."
Chen Jie added, "You can try to get revenge, but the next time you seek revenge will be your last chance."
Chen Jie did this not to nurture a threat.
To him, Zhou Wei was like an ant. If there was a problem, he could crush him at any time.
His confidence stemmed from his own strength.
The others in the bar were a mob. Zhou Wei, who could disregard the death of his parents and choose to be his dog, showed a certain ruthlessness.
If Zhou Wei harbored other intentions, Chen Jie could use him to strengthen the Poison Dragon's forces, and then get rid of Zhou Wei and let someone else take over.
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for letting me be your dog! I will prove myself to you!" Zhou Wei spread his arms and kowtowed wildly with his head touching the ground.
The floor rang with the sound of his forehead hitting it.
He then stood up and said respectfully to Chen Jie, "Brother Chen, my father secretly left me two hundred million in assets. I'll sell it all and give it to you!"
The crowd in the bar gasped again.
To give up his entire fortune just to pledge allegiance, he was indeed a ruthless person.
"No need. However, I can do some business with you," Chen Jie said, his mind stirring.
Zhou Wei was stunned. "What business?"
Chen Jie pointed to Poison Dragon's corpse. "The protective amulet he was holding just now, I plan to sell it in bulk. Are you interested?"
Zhou Wei didn't know what a protective amulet was, but the fact that Poison Dragon had saved his life multiple times with that jade pendant was enough to show its value.
He said with great joy, "I am! Brother Chen, if you have more of that thing, I'll take all you have!"
Such a magical item was worth selling for a hundred million.
Zhou Wei instantly realized that if he could cooperate with Chen Jie long-term, he would quickly accumulate wealth on the scale of the former Zhou family.
He thought, no wonder Chen Jie didn't care about money. With such magical items, how much money couldn't be obtained?
He also resolved not to dwell on the grief of his family's annihilation and wholeheartedly be Chen Jie's dog.
"You first organize Poison Dragon's people. Come find me at Xishan Villa later," Chen Jie said indifferently, preparing to leave.
"I'll see you off, Brother Chen!"
Zhou Wei said respectfully.
Chen Jie drove away in his sports car, paying no attention to Lin Mengjiao.
After Chen Jie left, Zhou Wei calmly entered the bar.
"My subordinate greets Brother Wei," someone suddenly came up to him and said.
"Brother Wei, from now on, we all depend on you!"
More and more people greeted Zhou Wei respectfully. Zhou Wei nodded calmly in response.
Among these people were many who had disdained him earlier, but now they were extremely respectful when they saw him.
He knew that these people were only doing this out of respect for Chen Jie.
He gave a wry smile in his heart.
Zhou Wei took a deep breath and said, "From today onwards, we establish a rule and form the Dragon Tiger Sect!"
...
Not long after Chen Jie returned to Xishan Villa, the doorbell suddenly rang.
When he opened the door, he saw Lin Mengjiao standing outside.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Jie asked, confused.
Lin Mengjiao, with red eyes, looked at Chen Jie and said, "After I settled my grandfather, I came to find you."
Chen Jie frowned. "Why are you looking for me? With your abilities, you can thrive in Pingcheng. You don't need to look for me."
Chen Jie reached out to close the door.
But Lin Mengjiao bent down and slipped into the courtyard under Chen Jie's arm.
"But my grandfather said that I should learn immortal cultivation from you, so I want to become your disciple," Lin Mengjiao said seriously.
"When did I say I would take you as a disciple?" Chen Jie frowned.
Lin Mengjiao quickly said, "You defeated me, so I must become your disciple!"
Chen Jie looked at her. Was she going to cling to him?
"I have nowhere to live anymore," Lin Mengjiao quickly explained, seeming to realize her attitude was not quite right.
She had already understood Zhang De's intentions.
Her grandfather didn't just want to die; he wanted to use his death to make her stay by Chen Jie's side and learn immortal cultivation!
Seizing this rare opportunity.
Lin Mengjiao didn't want her grandfather's good intentions to be wasted, so she was determined to stay by Chen Jie's side.
Chen Jie's brow furrowed.
It was normal for Lin Mengjiao to have nowhere to live since she had just returned to Pingcheng.
After all, he had promised Zhang De to take care of Lin Mengjiao, and he couldn't just let her wander the streets.
Thinking of this, he could only say, "Alright, for your grandfather's sake, I'll temporarily take you in. From today onwards, you will be my registered disciple."
"Thank you, Master," Lin Mengjiao said quickly.
Chen Jie brought her into the living room and gestured around. "There's everything here. I live on the second floor, and you live on the first floor. Find a room to rest. I have some things to do, so don't disturb me for now."
"Yes!" Lin Mengjiao nodded.
At this moment, she no longer had any trace of arrogance when facing Chen Jie.
Looking at Chen Jie's retreating back, she secretly thought, perhaps Chen Jie was even stronger than her master?
Then, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Chen Jie ignored her and went to the second floor, taking out two spirit stones.
He wasn't ready to use these two spirit stones yet, as the surrounding spiritual energy was abundant enough for him to cultivate for a while. Keeping them might be useful when he advanced.
Then, he took out an eight-hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and some medicinal materials.
He had bought some medicinal herbs and a few jade pendants on the way back.
The herbs were for refining elixirs, and the jade pendants were for making protective amulets to sell.
According to the immortal cultivation secret techniques obtained from the seabed, there were also some elixir refining techniques recorded. Now, he was going to use these medicinal herbs, combined with the eight-hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, to refine Qi Gathering Pills.
Chen Jie used a pressure cooker as a cauldron. An hour later, with a bang, the lid of the pressure cooker flew off.
Chen Jie looked down and saw five black pills lying inside.
As he was about to pick them up, he frowned and turned to look behind him.
To his surprise, a breathtakingly beautiful woman, completely naked, was standing before him.
