YM778.TV Chapter 58: Chapter 58 - Yan Suye
It could be said that the total wealth of the chamber of commerce might even surpass that of a dynasty.
Of course, this was only in terms of money; when it came to combat power, the chamber of commerce was still considered a second-tier force, as there was no Holy King in command.
But this did not mean that it was weak. The chamber of commerce was, in fact, one of the most powerful second-tier forces in the entire eastern region, capable of competing with or even slightly surpassing the Celestial Sword Sect!
Furthermore, due to its vast commercial relations, many interests were at stake, and even a dynasty would hesitate before entering direct conflict with them.
However, a mere branch chief did not arouse Song Yang\'s interest.
What truly caught his attention was not the fact that a branch chief in Beiyang wanted to see him, but the true identity of this chief.
With this thought, a playful smile appeared on Song Yang\'s face. He turned to the butler, who was still kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, and ordered:
"Bring him to see me."
...
After a few moments, the butler returned, this time accompanied by a young-looking person with a proud expression, wearing white clothing.
The most impressive thing was that the young man\'s clothing was not ordinary attire but rather a high-grade celestial weapon.
Just by the fact that it was a celestial weapon in the form of clothing, it was possible to infer the nobility and status of this young man.
Seeing Song Yang in front of him, Yan Suye reined in some of his arrogance, raised his hands in a conch shape, and simply nodded his head in greeting: "Your Highness."
After giving a slight bow, with his arms still raised, he asked Song Yang:
"May I call you Brother Yang?"
If others saw this gesture from Yan Suye, they would be surprised to see him treating someone younger than himself in such an egalitarian manner.
After all, he was one of the greatest geniuses who participated in the last genius competition and still ranked among the top 10!
Now that a hundred years had passed, how high had his cultivation reached?
"No, you may not."
Upon hearing this response from Song Yang, Yan Suye, who was still with his arms raised, could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Soon after, a wave of anger rose in his heart.
He, as the second young master of the Yan Chamber of Commerce and one of the greatest geniuses of the eastern region from the previous generation, no matter where he went within the eastern region, was always treated as an honored guest.
Although he was still considered part of the younger generation, after all, he was only a hundred years old, his cultivation had already reached the Real Realm.
Most cultivators of his age, even with reasonable talents and good resources, had barely reached the Soul Formation realm!
Therefore, even though he was from the younger generation, most of the older generations did not dare to offend him easily, and numerous disciples from the same generation, or even from previous generations, would beg on their knees for a chance to call him brother.
Of course, most of this respect came from his status as the second young master and, secondarily, from his future potential.
But now, this young man, who is under 30, had directly refused him, and he even noticed a hint of disdain in the young man\'s voice, which made him even more irritated
Even knowing that this young man was the greatest genius in the history of the eastern region, Yan Suye could not contain his anger.
However, he realized that he had not yet introduced himself, and his anger diminished slightly.
"Song Yang, it seems that I have not yet introduced myself..."
Although he had not introduced himself before, after being so directly refused by Song Yang, he could not help but hold some resentment.
For this reason, he deliberately avoided using the honorific title and addressed him directly by name.
However, who would have thought he would be rudely interrupted in the middle of his sentence.
"You don\'t need to introduce yourself; I know you very well... Yan Suye."
"The one who ranked tenth in the last genius competition and is the second son of the current patriarch of the Yan family."
Upon hearing Song Yang speak, Yan Suye could not help but show an irritated expression at being interrupted, while thinking:
\'Anyone would know that.\'
But soon his expression changed, becoming a bit shocked by the next words from Song Yang.
"Furthermore, the reason you are in the city of Beiyang is to prove to your father that you are worthy of the position of heir and future patriarch of the Yan family."
"To achieve this, you opened a branch of the Yan Chamber of Commerce in Beiyang for the first time and announced that you would auction a sacred technique, planning to make a significant impact on the entire dynasty."
"But who could have imagined that, along the way, I, the greatest genius of the eastern region, would appear to steal all the spotlight?"
After finishing his speech, Song Yang looked at Yan Suye with a slight smile and said:
"Am I right, Yan Suye?"
The reason Song Yang knows all of this is because of the intelligence organization of the Shura Palace.
He has 3,000 shadow demons with incredible stealth abilities, and most of them were not on missions.
Therefore, Song Yang ordered Shi Hu to establish an intelligence organization to gather information on the entire eastern region.
Now, it could be said that, if Song Yang wanted, even the color of the underwear of the Holy Lord of the Two Sacred Lands would not be a mystery to him.
Since he intended to come to city of Beiyang, he naturally ordered Shi Hu to investigate everything, and that is how he discovered Yan Suye\'s identity.
For this reason, Song Yang was particularly interested to learn that he had come to visit him.
