Richest Rag-picker

Maybe it was because he had used Celestial Gods, but Fang Chenyi discovered he could now understand their language.

When he spoke, Qi Xiaotian and the others standing by were all stunned. None of them had expected their boss to speak the language, and from the sound of it, he was clearly far more fluent than Tie Dan!

Billson, of course, wasn’t surprised by this in the slightest. After all, in his mind, the Boss had always known their language. Seeing the Boss head toward the metal shed, Billson quickly followed.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaotian and the others also trooped along after them.

On the way, Fang Chenyi spoke into his earpiece, telling Liu Yishou, who was in the sky, to land.

He then took off the earpiece and handed it to Qi Xiaotian, who was behind him.

When they reached the metal shed, Tie Dan stepped forward at a signal from Qi Xiaotian, blocking Billson from following them inside. He then said in their language:

"Please cooperate with a search."

Hearing this, Billson paused for a moment before giving a wry smile and shaking his head, allowing Tie Dan to search him.

A moment later, Tie Dan shook his head at Qi Xiaotian, signaling that he hadn’t found anything. Only then did Qi Xiaotian wave him in.

Fang Chenyi had seen everything that happened outside, but he didn’t intervene.

It wasn’t that he was afraid Billson might bring in a weapon to use against him. With the power of Celestial Gods, Fang Chenyi was confident enough to handle that.

The reason he didn’t intervene was that he didn’t want to disappoint Qi Xiaotian and his men. After all, they were just trying to ensure his safety.

As Billson walked in, Fang Chenyi, who was sitting in a chair, got straight to the point.

"Start talking. I have a feeling there’s more to this than meets the eye. It’s just a Diamond Mine. Why would you need so many people to guard it? And why would the previous owner suddenly sell it off?"

Many of Fang Chenyi’s questions shouldn’t have made sense coming from him, but Celestial Gods was just that incredible. In Billson’s eyes, it was perfectly normal that his Boss was unaware of these things.

Billson glanced around. Seeing that the door and windows were shut tight, he walked over to stand near Fang Chenyi, lowered his head, and began to explain carefully.

As Billson explained, Fang Chenyi grew more and more shocked. It was just as he’d suspected—there was far more at stake here than just a Diamond Mine!

"You’re saying there’s a treasure in this Diamond Mine?"

Hearing his boss’s stunned question, Billson nodded with absolute certainty.

"Yes, Boss. As you know, our Cobra Organization was founded for the sole purpose of finding a legendary treasure. And according to our leader Cobra’s years of calculations and searching, that treasure lies in the deepest part of this very Diamond Mine!"

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi rolled his eyes in annoyance. ’I know my ass! How the hell would I know the bullshit reason the Cobra Organization was founded!’

To put it bluntly, Fang Chenyi had only even heard of the Cobra Organization from Qi Xiaotian the day before.

’But from the sound of it,’ he thought, ’this Cobra Organization is clearly not just some simple group of mercenaries!’

Just as Billson was about to continue, Fang Chenyi cut him off.

"Hold on. What was the purpose for founding the Cobra Organization?"

When Fang Chenyi said this, Billson stared at him blankly for a second before a look of sudden realization dawned on his face.

"Oh, oh, right! Of course, Boss, you wouldn’t know about this. It’s like this: the Cobra Organization was founded by our current leader, ’Cobra.’ The man’s no ordinary person—he’s actually the Young Patriarch of the Brown Clan."

Billson paused there, as if trying to build the suspense for Fang Chenyi. But upon seeing Fang Chenyi’s brow furrow, he quickly rubbed his nose and continued.

"What’s more, in his own words, he is the heir of ’Poseidon’—the ’Sea God’! Poseidon is one of the Twelve Olympian Gods. He’s also the god of horses, the older brother of Zeus, and the younger brother of Hades!"

’Heir of a god? Heh, this guy is really full of it.’

Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but laugh. ’This guy has some serious nerve.’

Billson didn’t stop talking despite Fang Chenyi’s dismissive attitude. After all, his boss’s frown from a moment ago had sobered him up instantly. He continued.

"You must be aware of the Poseidon Clan’s wealth. They’re one of the true Baida Clans of the world. This Cobra Organization is actually a search party established by the Brown Clan. Their objective is to find the relics left behind by the Sea God."

At this point, Fang Chenyi felt like he was listening to some kind of fairy tale. ’How the hell did this perfectly normal world get tangled up with Immortals?’

’Great, now the descendants of the Twelve Olympian Gods are showing up. What’s next, are God’s descendants going to pop up too?’

Having gone through a standard modern education, Fang Chenyi didn’t believe a word of it.

’As for these so-called great clans invoking the names of gods, it’s probably just a way to protect their massive family empires.’

’Still, there’s one thing I’m curious about,’ Fang Chenyi thought. ’I’ve never heard of this so-called Poseidon Clan.’

’And I’ve never heard of these "Baida Clans of the world" either.’

So, he held up a hand, interrupting Billson, who was still rambling on about the Cobra Organization, and asked directly:

"Wait a minute. What’s the deal with these Baida Clans of the world? Why have I never heard of them?"

Interrupted by Fang Chenyi, Billson froze. He scratched his head in confusion and stammered.

"Uh, the Baida Clans... I guess they’re the hundred most powerful families in the world?"

Fang Chenyi rolled his eyes in annoyance. ’No shit, you think I couldn’t figure that out from the name alone? The hundred most powerful families in the world. But what’s the actual deal with them? Who are these families, and what are their assets?’

After asking his questions, Fang Chenyi stared at Billson. But the man just hemmed and hawed for a good while without giving a clear answer.

"Do you know or not, dammit?"

Seeing Fang Chenyi’s glare, Billson flinched and hurriedly spoke.
