Chapter 516: Country's Big Man

"Xiaobei... My grandpa couldn't make it... I'm here to take his place..."

Chen Xiaobei's first guest was Cao Zhenyang. Both of them used to have some conflicts between them. It was nothing serious. Cao Zhenyang looked at Chen Xiaobei differently after the Poseidon incident. In the end, both of them decided to forget about the past and built a better relationship. Cao Zhenyang addressed Chen Xiaobei as Bro Bei and Chen Xiaobei addressed him as Bro Cao.

"I can understand that! Elder Cao is a special man. It is not appropriate for him to come to a place like this. Come in and have a seat first. I'm still waiting for the others to arrive!"

Cao Zhenyang followed Chen Xiaobei's lead and entered the private club. He could not help but ask, "Tell me honestly, are you really an alchemist?"

"Why? You don't believe in me?" asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile.

"It's not that I don't believe in you. I just find it very hard to believe the fact that you are an alchemist. You are just too young to become an alchemist! Let alone alchemist! You are not even qualified to become a disciple of an alchemist!"

"I'm going to let the results speak for me later. I will reveal the truth once everyone is here. How is my Shixiong? Is he doing fine?"

Chen Xiaobei changed the topic.

"Your Shixiong? Xiangyu?"

"He is doing really well. It's not like you don't know his capability!"

Cao Zhenyang was shocked when Chen Xiaobei asked the question. There was a sense of respect reflected in his eyes.

"Tell me more."

Chen Xiaobei was interested to know more about Xiangyu's recent doing.

Cao Zhenyang then started to spill everything about Xiangyu.

"Your Shixiong! He managed to make a name for himself by beating up all the experienced soldiers in Thunder Kirin within three days! Within a week, he managed to defeat all the instructors! Now, everyone is seeing Xiangyu as their big boss. He had earned everyone's respect in Thunder Kirin. After that, he was assigned to complete some missions. In half a month, he managed to break all kinds of records in Thunder Kirin. He even broke the general's twenty-year record!"

"Oh right. Our general is at the Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana Stage as well! He is the second most powerful elite in China God of War ranking. He is known as the God of Thunder Kirin! He killed countless of enemies during wartime. So, he can be considered as one of the biggest contributors to our country!"

"Guess what? Xiangyu was convinced by some of the elites in Thunder Kirin to challenge our general. I was like oh my god! There is no one else in China is bold enough to challenge our general! Xiangyu was the first one! Not even the Sword Saint, Liu Xiyuan from Xuanjian Faction that ranked number one in God of War ranking board is arrogant enough to do it!"

"In the end, our general had to decline the challenge. He did not want to disappoint Xiangyu if he won the battle. On the other hand, he did not want to feel embarrassed if he lost in the battle. So, the best way to avoid two of these bad outcomes is to decline the battle! Luckily, Xiangyu is the kind of person that is smart enough to know the reason behind it. So, he never challenges our general anymore! If not, I'm afraid our general might do something crazy if Xiangyu forces his hand!"

"We were at Dongbei last month. We had a special forces war rehearsal with Russia! At that time, our army was losing. Our commander was ready to surrender. Just when the commander of Russia wanted to celebrate their victory, Xiangyu came out from nowhere. He defeated the army of Russia alone! The commander of Russia was so angry that Xiangyu managed to turn the tide around! So, Xiangyu was given the most honorable merit by our highest in command!"

"Then, we got to know that Xiangyu was chasing after a deer before the rehearsal. He went into the jungle, killed, and cook the deer. After that, he had a good sleep before returning to the battlefield! He is really rebellious! Thunder Kirin would have kicked the person out of the force if it was others that do it!"

"However, the highest in command did not even blame him. They even complimented him for defeating all the enemies by himself alone! He was given the title 'General of the Nation'! One can get really frustrated if the person keeps on comparing with others! All those experienced elite soldiers including me can only be envious of him!"

Cao Zhenyang was like a chatterbox when he talked about Xiangyu. He was really excited. Judging from the details that he told Chen Xiaobei, he must have told it to a lot of people. Xiangyu was like the pride and glory of the whole Thunder Kirin and he could not wait to share it with others. Chen Xiaobei was really pleased after hearing what happened to Xiangyu in Thunder Kirin. He wished someday he could be as powerful as Xiangyu too.

"Xiaobei! You have to work harder! You are still miles away from your Shixiong!"

"I know that! I will become stronger! It's a must!" Chen Xiaobei narrowed his gaze and said determinedly. Actually, Chen Xiaobei never stopped growing stronger and stronger. After a long chat, all the guests that Chen Xiaobei invited finally arrived! Yap LiangChen Xiaobei and his grandpa, Yap Xiangyu arrived first. Both of them were Chen Xiaobei's die-hard fans. So, they were arranged to sit with Cao Zhenyang.

After that, a sixty-year-old elder and a young man in his twenties arrived. Yap Xianghu jumped up from his seat and brought Yap LiangChen to greet them.

"Brother Yunlin! It's been some time. Do you still remember me?"

Yap Xianghu put on a wide smile and said. Yap LiangChen was shocked. He had never seen his grandpa acted so polite and friendly towards others. The person must be more powerful than the Yap Family!

"Oh, Brother Yap!"

The elder smiled. It seemed like his aura was more powerful than all the other guests.

"You guys know each other?" Chen Xiaobei asked curiously.

"Let me do an introduction! This is the richest man in Zhong Province, Li Yunlin! Li Family has at least three hundred billion! They are on the Forbes list every year!"

Yap LiangChen was shocked. The total asset of the Yap Family was around twenty billion! Their wealth could not be compared with Li Family at all! Even Cao Zhenyang could not help but turn around and look at them. He was considering making friends with them. Chen Xiaobei was the only one among the crowd still managed to maintain his composure.

He put on a smile and looked at the young man that stood beside Li Yunlin.

"May I know who is this?"

Chen Xiaobei asked the question because he noticed the young man kept on observing him.

"Oh...He is the late child of our family!" Li Yunlin said. His reaction was slightly weird.

"My name is Li Xiang!"

The young man extended his hand to shake Chen Xiaobei's hand.

"I'm Chen Xiaobei."

Chen Xiaobei shook his hand. He then arranged the both of them to sit at an isolated table. After that, Elder Fang arrived. He brought two people with him as well. One of them was a middle-aged man, Wei Suo. His accent sounded like he came from Hong Kong. He should be the ultra-rich man that Chen Xiaobei heard about earlier. The other energetic old man was known as Master Wei Ma.

After they sat down for a while, Wei Suo asked impatiently, "Where is the alchemist? Why is he not here? My time is precious! How dare you guys ask me to wait!"

"I'm the alchemist! You can leave if you don't want to wait," said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
