Beneath the well, there lay a hidden world, resembling a grand palace filled with jewels and antiques. There were also several impressive magical artifacts, but the Seven Great Artifacts of Huaxia were nowhere to be found. Jiang Chen gathered all the treasures of the Eastern Deity into his Storage Jade Gourd. Although he did not discover the Seven Divine Artifacts, this trip was still fruitful, allowing Jiang Chen to witness the power of the Demon God on Earth. The strength of this Eastern Deity was such that, without Jiang Chen, few could hope to subdue it.
As Jiang Chen emerged from the well, Tengye Kikuko hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Jiang, has everything been resolved?"
Jiang Chen nodded and then turned to Du Guanghua, who at that moment dared not meet his gaze.
"Manager Du, you have lost," Jiang Chen stated.
Du Guanghua felt a chill run through him; his legs turned to jelly, and he sank to his knees.
"Jiang, Mr. Jiang, I was blind to your worth. Please forgive my unintentional offense. Can we call off that wager? Of course, I can offer you one billion as compensation," Du Guanghua pleaded.
"Call it off? Do you think that’s possible?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Under Jiang Chen's intense stare, Du Guanghua felt as if a sharp sword was poised over his heart, causing his breath to hitch under the immense pressure.
"I... I think it shouldn't be," Du Guanghua stammered, trembling.
"Then that settles it. Manager Du, go back and assess your assets. Later, find Yue Hui, the president of Hangzhou Yue Group, and hand everything over to her," Jiang Chen instructed.
Though Jiang Chen was indifferent to money, he recognized that he would need it for many future endeavors; naturally, the more he had, the better. However, he did not wish to transfer assets to his Dongsheng Group because he would be absent and lacked someone capable to manage it. Zhu Yong, Ma Wenlai, and Zhou Dafeng were not equipped to handle a large corporation. Having avenged himself already, Jiang Chen was no longer focused on business development.
Yue Hui was different; as the president of a large corporation herself, she possessed exceptional ability and charisma. She was a career-oriented woman who thrived on success. Despite having killed her fiancé, Yue Hui continued to treat him well. Although Hu Yuan deserved punishment, Jiang Chen felt it necessary to compensate her in some way. If she declined his offer, he would still entrust her with managing things on his behalf. At this time, Jiang Chen had no plans for a long-term stay in Shanghai; otherwise, he would have arranged for Du Guanghua to hand over matters to Jiang Luyi.
Additionally, there was another reason: during his last conversation with Lin Bingbing about a film project, Jiang Chen intended to prioritize it upon returning to Huaxia—an endeavor that would require substantial funding. As Lin Bingbing's friend, placing money in Yue Hui's hands would make spending easier.
Moreover, Jiang Chen planned to find a suitable location on Earth to establish a cultivation sect based on the Xiu Xian World model. Once Earth's Spiritual Energy revived, this sect could prove invaluable.
Having been reborn, Jiang Chen felt compelled to contribute something meaningful for Earth so that it could maintain its place in the vast universe.
Du Guanghua lay sprawled on the ground in utter despair as if he had fallen into an endless darkness where hope was nowhere in sight. He had initially considered defaulting on the debt but now found even that thought unbearable; even if given a thousand lives' worth of courage, he would not dare defy Jiang Chen. The latter's strength was terrifying—far beyond human capability.
Money mattered, but life mattered more. Without money, one could always make a comeback; without life... nothing else mattered anymore.
If only there were such a thing as regret medicine in this world! Du Guanghua would never have dared gamble against Jiang Chen if such a remedy existed. But alas, where could one find such a thing?
