Although he already knew the identities of the two men and had guessed their intentions, Su Yun still bowed.
"I wonder what brings you to this, Han? If nothing else, please make way. I have matters to attend to."
Jialebi and Obaton exchanged a bitter glance.
Although they knew it was this middle-aged man who had plunged their families into dire straits,
they dared not put on airs in front of him. If they truly offended a fourth-rank alchemist, they would be better off fleeing Wutan City with their respective families.
Forcing a self-righteous smile on their stiff faces, they addressed Su Yun.
"I am Jialebi."
"I am Obaton."
Su Yun nodded calmly.
"So you are the patriarchs of the two great families of Wutan City. My apologies,"
Su Yun said perfunctorily.
He was being timid, but what young man wasn't arrogant? They were just two great fighting masters.
He knew both of them well. With his current strength and influence, he wasn't afraid of them getting desperate.
He didn't even need to take action himself.
Many factions within Wutan City would be happy to take them down, leaving Su Yun in a small debt, such as Yafei of the Mitel Auction House and Luo Qianchen of the Alchemy Guild.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was now the most powerful local tyrant in Wutan City.
"What's up?"
Su Yun demanded.
The two men had clearly discussed this beforehand. Galeb stepped forward and bowed.
"Master Han, we've already arranged dinner at the inn. Why don't you please move on? We can discuss it later when we get there?"
Su Yun waved his hand, not wanting to waste time on these two cannon fodders. His expression was impatient.
"Let's talk right now. I'm in a hurry."
Seeing this, the two men's expressions grew even more bitter.
They exchanged glances, and Obaton stepped forward, his expression solemn.
"Since that's the case, let's be frank.
We'd like the Master to refine some elixirs for our two families and sell them in the market. Whatever the Xiao family is willing to give you, we can also give."
For the past two years, their families had been severely oppressed.
Thanks to Su Yun's elixirs, their market profits had plummeted, and few people were willing to come.
Initially, they managed to hold on by lowering the prices of other items, attracting some people back.
But as time went on, the Xiao family also began to lower their prices, which
again attracted people back. After months of losses, they could no longer sustain the situation.
So, the two families decided to attack from the source, pooling their resources to see if they could recruit this fourth-grade alchemist into their family.
Su Yun understood.
The false news he had previously spread within the Xiao family, claiming he had been rescued by Xiao Lin, had been strictly protected by Xiao Zhan and his men.
This had given these two people the idea of recruiting him.
Su Yun shook his head and simply ignored them without answering.
They stared at each other, not daring to ask further questions.
"What should we do?"
Obaton asked.
"At this point, there is only one way."
Galebi was furious.
"Are you planning to..."
A trace of shock flashed across Obadoon's face, and a trace of retreat flashed across his face.
"Stupid! What are you afraid of? Do you think we still have a way out?"
Galebi's face was full of disappointment.
"Things have come to this point. Either he dies or we die! If this goes on, both of our families will surely die."
A trace of struggle flashed in Obadoon's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he felt that what Galebi said was right. He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Galebi showed a trace of relief on his face, with an expression of a teachable child.
"Let's go. The money for the inn has been paid. It would be a waste if we don't eat. Let's talk while we eat."
Galebi took the initiative to put his hand on Obadun's shoulder, his expression like a good brother.
Obadun agreed, nodded, and walked towards the inn with Galebi.
However, he didn't notice that Galebi's expression flashed with an inexplicable and cruel look.
At night, in a courtyard of the Gale family.
"Chief, do we really want to join the Obadun family to intercept and kill a fourth-grade alchemist?"
In the courtyard, several elders of the Gale family and Galebi were discussing.
One of the elders said.
"Stupid!"
Galebi scolded the elder, just like in the daytime, his face full of disappointment.
"This..."
The chief was stunned by Galebi's scolding, not knowing what Galebi meant.
"The status of a fourth-grade alchemist is so transcendent.
If we dare to move, even Han Li wouldn't have to take action personally. All the forces, big and small, in Wutan City, to please him, would unite and tear us apart." Galebi
put his hands on his forehead and sighed.
You have to know that in the Douqi Continent, the rank of alchemist is generally one level higher than that of Douzhe.
A fourth-grade alchemist can rival a Douwang.
This isn't the fairy inequality of past lives, where a female college degree is equivalent to a first-tier university, and a bachelor's degree is equivalent to a double-first-tier university.
It's about the real influence and value they can create.
To a family, a fourth-grade alchemist's value is even greater than that of a Douwang in some respects.
How could he really kill a fourth-grade alchemist?
This elder, like Obadon, is a complete idiot.
Galeb sneered at the elder.
"Kill a fourth-grade alchemist? What's the reason?
Just because you have a big brain, can it hold more water?"
Galeb was speechless, and simply bowed his head and pretended to be dead.
"Humph!"
Galeb snorted at the elder's feigned death.
"Chief, why did you discuss the ambush with that Obadoun today?"
another elder couldn't help but ask.
"Useless, all of you."
Unexpectedly, instead of replying, Garebbi continued his scolding.
The elders exchanged glances, unsure of Garebbi's madness.
"Hmph, what about teaming up with the Obadoun family to ambush Master Han? It's clearly Obadoun's ulterior motives, plotting to murder Master Han and even dragging us into this!"
Garebbi cursed for a while, then calmed down.
Hearing Garebbi's words, the elders' eyes lit up and nodded in agreement.
A brilliant plan, a brilliant plan!
"Yes, yes, yes.
Chief is right. This Obadoun is so ambitious that he dares to harm Master Han and even plans to drag our Gareb family into this mess.
How can we, the Gareb family, be complicit in this?"
The elder who had been speechless by Garebbi's insults immediately raised his head and spoke hastily.
Garebbi stroked his beard. "This boy is teachable! "
"Not only do we not want to go along with the Oba family, we even want to report them!"
"Yes, report them, uh... Speaking of which, how do we contact Master Han?"
