Chapter 1595 - 1598: Enough Talk, Show Your Sword

At precisely 2:30 PM, Shen Qiang walked into his restaurant that had yet to officially open, where the aroma of rich coffee mingled with the faint smell of paint and sawdust.Walking in alone, Shen Qiang immediately spotted the manager of his restaurant, wearing a purple mask, her alluring and curvaceous figure exuding a level of sensuality comparable to a war chariot. She languidly leaned against the bar, her wasp-like waist and ample hips displaying a captivating allure.

At the same time, Shen Qiang noticed the Illusion Demolition Group's leader, dressed in a light blue suit with an immaculate white shirt and wearing a blue mask, standing by a table, hand-brewing coffee. Meanwhile, two other figures were vigilantly positioned by the window and the back door, like sentinels.

"Care for a cup? This is the best coffee."

The leader, wearing a blue mask, seemed to be smiling.

Shen Qiang chuckled, "What's so special? Is it just civet coffee? Forget it, I don't really like it, and I'm not here for coffee anyway."

With that, Shen Qiang pulled up a chair and sat facing the masked leader, smiling, "The renovation's decent, worthy of the Datong River brand. Remember to come support me when it opens."

The leader with the blue mask laughed and said, "No problem, but let's talk business."

With that, the alluring manager walked over and placed a thick stack of documents in front of Shen Qiang.

"This task involves hunting a cultivation practitioner named Xiang Qianmeng, a top ten local entrepreneur and the Great Elder of Wuyun Fang. His cultivation stage is Dao Fruit, with his sect having twenty-one disciples in the Mixed Element Realm and three in the Dao Fruit stage."

"The bounty is 3,217,200, with a four-star difficulty. It will be accepted under your Bounty Hunter platform account, Dragon Group Nightmare, and upon completion, the bounty will be split among seven people."

Shen Qiang burst into laughter, "Are you joking? Each person ends up with less than 400,000, and we're supposed to hunt a Dao Fruit stage cultivator? Risking death for just 400,000? I'd rather give you 400,000 myself."

Upon hearing this, the masked Illusion Demolition leader replied coldly, "This isn't a request, it's an order."

Shen Qiang smiled, slowly sweeping the documents off the table onto the floor, saying, "I've said it before, I'm not the deputy leader of the Illusion Demolition Group because you made me, but because I choose to be."

The documents scattered on the ground, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "So give me a real reason worth doing this, otherwise, I'll ask you to leave my restaurant."

"How dare you! Shen Qiang, don't really think you can act recklessly in the group?" A man nearby was furious.

Another scoffed, "Shen Qiang, I advise you not to do this. It's not good for you."

Looking at the cold gaze under the mask, Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright, my dear group leader, your eyes are terrifying, really scared me, but you must understand, I'm not one to be controlled."

"The correct way to discuss things with me is to take off your mask, let me see your face, and have an open talk."

"Rather than throwing some ridiculous documents at me, telling me there's some big bad guy we need to eliminate, do you think I'm the type of fool that's easily manipulated?"

The leader with the blue mask said, "A family has many mouths, but one rules. A mountain doesn't allow two tigers. Shen Qiang, you must understand, the group doesn't exist only for money. If you don't follow orders, you'll put the group in danger!"

"Well said, so noble!" Shen Qiang applauded, "Nice label. They must think I'm such a nuisance now, a jerk. But have you thought from my perspective? I have a house and land, living happily."

"Then you show up with a shabby mask, telling me I must listen to you, and I foolishly abandon everything to follow you and fight everywhere? Do you think you're God, or am I a dolt?"

Upon hearing this, the leader with the blue mask sternly stated, "Shen Qiang, don't go too far!"

"Take off your mask, or no deal, and don't make me repeat myself, remember, I only have patience for beauties, not for you," Shen Qiang slightly grinned.

"Absurd! The leader's noble status is not for you to question!" Another man angrily interjected.

Hearing this, Shen Qiang shrugged with a smile, spreading his hands, "Great, then we're done negotiating, you can leave. I'm not interested in your games with the group."

Instantly, the man erupted in anger, "Bastard, how can you say such things!"

Shen Qiang merely smiled, then coldly replied, "Don't act like a big shot in front of me. I've seen enough bastards, but haven't encountered such arrogant ones who think others will listen just because they wear a mask."

"You!"

"Enough!" The leader with the blue mask commanded.

Then he removed his mask, revealing a smooth, beardless face, appearing about thirty years old, complemented by his blue suit and handsome mien, giving him the aura of a successful person.

Furthermore, seeing him, Shen Qiang suddenly felt he had seen this figure somewhere before.

Bounty Hunter platform!

Suddenly, Shen Qiang recalled once viewing a bounty that was priced slightly above Qian Shanxue, thus he studied it thoroughly before. He was a Major General in the Dragon Group.

"Satisfied?" The leader pulled up a chair and sat next to Shen Qiang, saying, "You're smart, in the Bounty Hunter platform, the three largest groups are Mirage owned by the platform itself, Abyss of the Demon Path behind the deep abyss, and Illusion Demolition backed by the Dragon Group."

"Illusion Demolition has never stopped hunting cultivators, although often operating individually, so it seems like the group only takes on tasks every few years."

Eyeing Shen Qiang, the Illusion Demolition leader seriously continued, "This task is for several reasons. First, it's your first task in the group, a great opportunity to prove your capability."

"Second, your level on the Bounty Hunter platform is too low, preventing you from accessing restricted tasks. Without reaching three-star level, not only will you miss out on platform information, but also be unable to use their resources."

"Third, to join any group, you need others' acknowledgment, so stop wasting words. Show your strength, let's see if you have the qualifications to stay in the Illusion Demolition Group. You don't really think that your defiance leaves me helpless to kick you out, do you?"
