"I doubt that," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "When I went to the Guo Family, they were only willing to offer me one billion to send me on my way. But after losing two people, they finally came up with four hundred eighty billion. Liu Shao, you and the Liu Family don't intend to follow the Guo Family's example, do you?"
Liu Toukang felt cold sweat trickling down his back; he sensed that Jiang Chen seemed to know about his cooking the books. However, at this point, he couldn't admit it.
"The Liu Family has always conducted business with integrity; the Guo Family is just asking for trouble," Liu Toukang replied, not daring to meet Jiang Chen's gaze.
"Liu Toukang, we at the Guo Family have learned our lesson from our troubles, but you at the Liu Family remain oblivious. You know how much you've earned in the first half of the year; I know it too. You must be mistaken; it's an eighty-twenty split, and Mr. Jiang deserves eighty percent, not twenty. You better calculate this clearly," Guo Weiqing retorted in a low voice.
"Guo Weiqing, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I be wrong? Do you think you know my company's accounts better than I do? The Guo Family has always been shameless. Your medicine is not only overpriced but also requires continuous use. You tamper with its efficacy and profit from it without conscience. The Liu Family produces health supplements; we may not make money ourselves, but they must be effective. Mr. Jiang is compassionate and noble; he certainly won't blame us for that. We plan to use Mr. Jiang's prescription to produce cancer drugs. Cancer medication is meant to save lives, not for profit," Liu Toukang shamelessly defended himself, causing Jiang Chen to glance at him in surprise.
Liu Toukang's words were impeccable.
"You truly are shameless. As long as Mr. Jiang believes you, I have nothing more to say," Guo Weiqing said, speechless. In front of Jiang Chen, she saw no need to argue with Liu Toukang; she had a hunch that Jiang Chen could see through everything.
After finishing his remarks, Liu Toukang felt cold sweat on his back but still tried to maintain his composure.
Jiang Chen's gaze was playful as he remained silent until Han Baiying scoffed, "There's no need for so much explanation; giving him eighty billion is already generous enough. He has no right to complain; does he really think business is that simple?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly as he looked at Liu Toukang and asked again, "Liu Shao, let me ask you one last time: are you sure you only need to give me eighty billion?"
Liu Toukang felt a sinking sensation in his heart under Jiang Chen's gaze, as if a guillotine was hanging over his neck—one wrong answer could cost him dearly.
"I'll give you time to think it over; after the duel ends, give me your answer," Jiang Chen said again before turning his gaze toward Black Dragon Island.
At that moment, most people's attention was focused on Black Dragon Island; what was happening on Jiang Chen's side was naturally less captivating than the duel taking place there.
"Don't pay him any mind," Han Baiying said dismissively when she saw her son's serious expression.
Liu Toukang felt conflicted and forced a bitter smile as he also looked toward Black Dragon Island; Master Gu's victory or defeat would determine his response.
On Black Dragon Island, towering water columns enveloped the area and spun rapidly, forming a massive Tornado Vortex that reached from sky to sea, grand like a dragon drinking water. Trees on Black Dragon Island were being swept away.
From outside, one could not see what was happening inside, but it was certain that the entire Black Dragon Island was submerged in seawater.
The power of this formation was such that it transcended human capability—it was indeed terrifying.
