chapter 23 Take back the pharmaceutical factory

"You can't exactly say you're my superior, but we can cooperate. I'm called Ferrid Chu, you can call me Little Chu!" Ferrid Chu said with a faint smile. "This Double Crane Taoist Temple also has a lot of good things. Transport them all to your Lotus Store. Tomorrow, I'll call you, because I need your help!" "Young Master Chu! Absolutely do not say you need my help. I, Ruby, keep my word. From this moment on, we at Lotus Store will obey your orders at any time!" The Ruby remained respectful. On one hand, Ferrid Chu had saved her life, and on the other, she had witnessed him transform spiritual energy into flames, a clear sign of a powerful practitioner in the Five Elements Realm. With such terrifying strength, she naturally wanted to be under his command. "Very well, see you tomorrow!" Ferrid Chu retracted all the golden needles and left the Double Crane Taoist Temple. The next morning, Jim Chu was surprised to receive official documents regarding the transfer of the Chen Family Pharmacy to him, sent by Clara Bai's people! "This..." Jim Chu was utterly shocked. This was official, recognized documentation! Immediately, he rushed to the pharmacy and found the original pharmacists, including You Hong, inside. There were seven martial practitioners guarding the entrance! Jim Chu inquired and learned that these seven martial practitioners were from Lotus Store. They were there on Ferrid Chu's orders to protect the Chu family pharmacy, in case the Chen family tried to cause trouble. "...You, Old Master, your son is way more impressive than you!" At this point, Euan Chen was driven mad. He had completely lost it. He smashed the Eight Immortals table and shattered the Dragon Soaring recliner. Staring at his younger son, Brooks Chen's lifeless body on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, trembling all over, he picked up the phone and called the Head of the Hong Gang, Cedric Hong. "Cedric Hong! It's been three days since I issued a billion bounty! Not only have I not seen Ferrid Chu's head, my younger son was killed by that bastard! He's taken over the pharmacy, and for some damn reason, Clara Bai has sided with Ferrid Chu and even arranged the pharmacy's transfer procedures!" "Cedric Hong, I'm giving you three hours. If I don't see Ferrid Chu's head by then, I'll have the investigators from the Martial Practitioners Investigation Division come. By then, you'll be wiped out along with him!" After a furious roar, Euan Chen angrily hung up the phone. "The Martial Practitioners Investigation Division..." Cedric Hong's face was extremely grave. Delmar Chen, Euan Chen's younger brother, held a significant position in the Martial Practitioners Investigation Division of Reeb Region, with immense power. At this moment, the Chen family was in chaos due to Ferrid Chu's interference. If Cedric Hong couldn't handle the situation, there was a chance that the Chen family might turn their anger towards him, causing harm. With this in mind, Cedric Hong couldn't sit still. He had already sent the Seven Sisters of Lotus Store, a group of hired assassins, to kill Ferrid Chu. However, they hadn't returned yet. "Did they go back to the Double Crane Taoist Temple?" Cedric Hong immediately set off and hurried to the Double Crane Taoist Temple. But when he saw the scene of carnage, with bodies strewn everywhere and the white cranes cut in half, he was utterly dumbfounded. His expression was several times worse than if he had eaten a fly! "It looks like we need to send our top assassin from the Hong Gang!" Cedric Hong picked up his phone, found the contact named Hong Yan, and made the call. ... The next morning. Ferrid Chu, accompanied by a woman in red, arrived at the Chen Family Pharmacy. "Master, are you planning to take over the pharmacy today?" the woman in red asked. "Not take over, but take it back! This pharmacy originally belonged to our Chu family!" Ferrid Chu's gaze was cold as he looked at the sign on the pharmacy's gate: "Chen Family Pharmacy." With a single punch, he shattered it! Inside the pharmacy workshop, Manager Caspian Chen had trapped his secretary, Audrey Sun, in his office. "Manager Chen, what are you doing? Why did you lock the door?" Audrey Sun felt a sense of foreboding as she watched Caspian Chen lock the office door. "Audrey, you used to be the deputy manager of the Chu family pharmacy. After the Chu family fell, I took pity on you and promoted you to be my secretary. It's been almost a year now. Don't you think you should show some gratitude?" Caspian Chen's eyes gleamed with greed as he looked at Audrey Sun. Audrey Sun had long wavy hair that reached her waist. She wore exquisite makeup, a tight grey suit jacket on top, and a fitted white blouse underneath, accentuating her ample bust. Below, she wore a grey pencil skirt, paired with long, sleek black stockings and high-heeled black shoes. She looked beautiful, sexy, and alluring. "Manager Chen, I've already thanked you. I personally gave you the expensive suits and wine. I even treated you to a fancy dinner. These were all my gestures of gratitude." Audrey Sun explained, but inside, she felt repulsed. If it weren't for her seriously ill younger sister who needed the money, she wouldn't have endured being Caspian Chen's subordinate. "Humph, don't act like you're clueless. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? If it weren't for your looks, I wouldn't have kept you around." Caspian Chen didn't mince words. Without further ado, he took off his coat. "What are you trying to do? Stay away from me!" Audrey Sun saw Caspian Chen making a move and quickly tried to retreat to the window. She attempted to open it, but found it locked! In that moment, she felt her strength drain from her body. She slumped weakly into the chair. "It seems the drug is taking effect." Caspian Chen smirked triumphantly. Then he opened the door, and his brother Neptune Chen dragged two female workers into the office. The two women were also weakened by the drug's effects. "Audrey Sun, you recognize these two girls, right? They used to work at the Chu family pharmacy as well. It's quite strange, the women at the Chu family pharmacy were all quite attractive. Today, you three ladies will keep us brothers company." Caspian Chen locked the door once more, his eyes filled with greed. "Brother, I'll leave this girl to you. I'll take care of these two!" Neptune Chen pointed at Audrey Sun. "Alright, I've had my eye on this woman for a long time. Now that I finally have her, I need to taste her." Caspian Chen said contentedly. "Brother, with this, our horizons have broadened!" Neptune Chen laughed lasciviously. "You two bastards, you'll pay for this sooner or later!" Audrey Sun, weakened by the drug, could only muster a feeble shout. "Haha, let's see who pays for what next. It's time to find out who'll face the consequences!" Caspian Chen wore a lecherous grin and pounced toward Audrey Sun! "Hmm?" Just then, a scream of agony echoed from outside the door. It was sharp and sounded as if someone had lost their life! "Boom!" The next moment, the office door was violently kicked open, and a man in white walked in. "Caspian Chen, you despicable cur, so you've been hiding here!" Ferrid Chu's gaze was cold as he looked at Caspian Chen, his voice filled with disdain. "You... You're Ferrid Chu!" Caspian Chen recognized the man before him and his face instantly turned pale with fear. ..
