This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 176 - 131: Green-faced Ghost King (Major - )_4

"Your Excellency says you were sent by the Green-faced Ghost King?"

Chen Li asked.

"Exactly."

The slender man replied.

"May I know how to address Your Excellency?"

"My name is Liu San, I used to be the Green-faced Ghost King's agent. Now, well, I'm his representative."

Liu San said with pride.

"So, it's Mr. Liu, I've long admired your reputation."

Chen Li hurriedly paid respects to Liu San.

Seeing Chen Family's chief steward paying respects to him, Liu San subconsciously wanted to return the gesture, but realizing he was now the representative of the Green-faced Ghost King, he forced himself to stand tall and accepted the courtesy.

"What does the Green-faced Ghost King have Mr. Liu here for?"

Chen Li asked cautiously.

"Oh, this guy used to be the accountant for the Tiger Saber Gang, and today, I've brought him here to collect debts."

Liu San pointed to the dull-looking man beside him.

His name was He Yun, the accountant for the Tiger Saber Gang. He had been keeping the books for most of the business transactions of the Tiger Saber Gang over the years.

After the Tiger Saber Gang had trouble, Shangguan Xiao immediately dispatched people to protect He Yun and brought him back within the Boxing Village, specifically to preserve him for Li Fei.

"Collecting debts?"

Chen Li's face stiffened, "May I ask Mr. Liu, is the Green-faced Ghost King planning to completely take over the Tiger Saber Gang?"

"That's the idea."

Liu San nodded.

Hearing this, the managers present all showed a hint of joy.

If the Green-faced Ghost King was willing to take over the Tiger Saber Gang, at least they would still have a chance to continue as managers and not be driven away.

Chen Li stood frozen in place, his expression shifting continuously.

Before coming, he had received instructions from the Family Head Chen Yujing to avoid conflicts with Qingyuan Fist Village representatives, suggesting they could discuss the matter and perhaps the Chen Family could even make some concessions.

But Chen Yujing hadn't instructed on what to do if they encountered the Green-faced Ghost King.

Compared to the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village, the Green-faced Ghost King, a divine-like figure with verifiable combat achievements, was obviously more daunting.

"Then, we won't disturb any further."

After contemplating for a moment, Chen Li decided to withdraw with his people and consult the Family Head.

With the Green-faced Ghost King involved, he didn't dare offend anyone on behalf of the Chen Family.

Quickly, Chen Li, along with the Chen Family's experts, left in disarray.

Liu San turned to the managers inside the hall and said,

"Everyone, bring out this month's account books, let's start the audit."

'Little Segment' stepped forward with a smile and asked,

"May I ask Mr. Liu, does the Green-faced Ghost King truly plan to take over all of the Tiger Saber Gang's businesses? Will we be considered people under the Ghost King from now on?"

Everyone also looked at Liu San eagerly.

Liu San recalled what Li Fei had told him and said,

"Whether you're the Ghost Kings's people or not will be decided after you've met the Ghost King himself. I am only here to collect debts today."

"When might we meet the Ghost King?"

'Little Segment' asked.

"Five days later, inside Qingyuan Fist Village."

Liu San replied.

"This..."

The managers looked at each other, bewildered.

It seemed that the Green-faced Ghost King and Qingyuan Fist Village had joined forces again.

Two powerful entities of the Tao Foundation teaming up; looking at Xing City's world today, who would dare to disobey?!

"Yes, we understand."

All the managers present paid respects to Liu San together.

Liu San felt he had reached the peak of his life, his face flushed with pride as he waved his hand,

"Good, begin the audit!"

...

In the following days, Liu San, along with He Yun, went about 'collecting debts,' taking over the businesses of the Tiger Saber Gang.

With the account keeper He Yun, who had a clear understanding of over ninety percent of the gang's transactions, Liu San could pinpoint precisely where to collect.

From the most basic protection fees in each district, to entertainment venues such as gambling houses and brothels, as well as illegal businesses like opium dens, smuggling operations, shops in the black market, and even legitimate businesses openly established.

Unaware of these until following He Yun to 'collect debts,' Liu San discovered that dozens of prospering shops in Xing City were in fact owned by the Tiger Saber Gang.

These shops sold everything: firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food, housing, transportation - the Tiger Saber Gang's business had long infiltrated every facet of Xing City.

Under the banner of the Green-faced Ghost King, Liu San prospered wherever he went. Apart from a portion that had already fled with the money and some preemptively 'acquired' by the Chen Family, the remainder of the businesses went smoothly with the debt collection.

And during the days Liu San was collecting debts, the investigation team dispatched from Datong Prefecture had also arrived in Xing City, beginning the investigation into the bandit incursion.

Upon learning that Yu Hu had colluded with foreigners to betray his country and that an Imperial Official had been killed in Xing City, they realized the situation was much more severe than they had anticipated, and they immediately reported back, waiting for further directions from above.

During these days, Xing City's underworld currents surged, and the official circles were no different.

Officials related to the Tiger Saber Gang were in fear for themselves. Some chose to surrender, some to flee, and others waited for the final outcome.

Part of the officials also sent people to Qingyuan Fist Village to try to meet with the Green-faced Ghost King, hoping he could save them.

Li Fei disregarded all these requests.

He was willing to take over the Tiger Saber Gang and reorganize Xing City's underworld, but he had no intention of breeding a group of parasitic officials like the Tiger Saber Gang did. As for these officials, they would suffer the consequences of their actions without his interference.

As for future assistance in the official circles, his martial aunt was likely to become the Chief of Zhi Ge Court, and Li Lei, after this incident, might have a chance to go for the position of Inspector General at the Inspection Bureau!
