Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ye Chen, who was that beautiful woman just now?” Sun Yi asked curiously.
Xia Ruoxue also looked at Ye Chen curiously.
“A friend.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Ye Chen was worried about Jin Lengyan. Whoever was able to easily exterminate a family without news of the deed being leaked definitely had a certain level of power.
The fact that the Jin family, which was one of the top top martial arts families in River City, was so afraid of this force, said volumes about how terrifying this force was.
Jin Lengyan had helped him many times during his stay in River City; from the pill auction to the martial arts arena, Jin Lengyan had always been kind, and had even gone against his father’s wishes to help Ye Chen.
It was a good thing that they had chosen to leave River City. It was safer to hide temporarily than to face such a dangerous force.
Xia Ruoxue noticed Ye Chen’s worried expression and thought of something.
“Ye Chen, are you going to the Heavenly Justice Group later? The product launch is today, and we invited both local and international reporters. The Heavenly Justice Group wants to make a name for itself before the product is launched.”
“Ye Chen, you have to go,” Sun Yi said, “I’m speaking on behalf of the Heavenly Justice Group today, and spent all night preparing my speech. To be honest, it’s my first time speaking in front of so many reporters, so I’m a little nervous.”
Ye Chen recalled that Shen Haihua had called yesterday to talk about this matter, so he nodded.
“Of course I’ll go. I’ll even take some beautiful photos of you with my phone.”
Sun Yi smiled. With Ye Chen around, she would feel much more at ease.
Ye Chen took the opportunity while the two girls were picking their outfits to return to the secret room and retrieve the jade pendant.
Spiritual energy immediately overflowed and filled the entire room!
“This is such a valuable treasure. It is no wonder that faction is willing to destroy everything in their path in order to obtain it,” Ye Chen muttered.
He closed his eyes and circulated the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique, and felt the spiritual energy surging into his body. His aura continued to strengthen, and it seemed that his cultivation speed had increased by ten times.
“It looks like this jade pendant is even more terrifying than I had initially thought.”
Suddenly, the black stone in Ye Chen’s pocket flew out and started spinning!
Then, it flew over and came into contact with the jade pendant.
Boom!
The spiritual energy in the room began to surge toward the black stone, and soon, it all disappeared!
Then, the black stone began to absorb the spiritual energy from the jade pendant directly!
Ten minutes later, Ye Chen realized that the jade pendant had dimmed. The spiritual energy that had been overflowing was now completely gone, which meant that the jade pendant was now no different from an ordinary one.
Then, Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the black stone. He realized that all of the attributes of the jade pendant had been transferred to the black stone, and the latter was now exuding dense spiritual energy.
When he cultivated, the black stone would transmit spiritual energy to him.
Ye Chen held the black stone in his palm and suddenly noticed that there was a slight change in the Samsara Graveyard.
Although it was still desolate, it was filled with endless spiritual energy.
Chen Qingcang’s gravestone was already shining even brighter than before and would probably be activated soon. It seemed that the jade pendant was truly useful to the black stone.
Uh…
However, the Jin family only asked him to take care of the jade pendant, not to use it for himself. Now that the jade pendant had ended up in this state, how was he going to explain things?
Ye Chen smiled bitterly. It seemed that he would have to compensate them with some pills and cultivation techniques.
“Ye Chen, are you done? We’re leaving!”
Sun Yi’s voice could be heard from outside.
Ye Chen responded and quickly put away the jade pendant and black stone. He changed into a custom-made suit and headed outside.
12th floor of the Heavenly Justice Group Building, in a banquet hall.
The hall was overcrowded, and the staff on the stage was making the final adjustments to the equipment.
The audience was filled with reporters and cameramen. There were hundreds of people present here today.
More than half of them were reporters from River City, while the rest were from Jiangnan Province, Capital City, and other mainstream media outlets.
The seats in the middle were empty, and were intended for international reporters.
This time, Shen Haihua had invited reporters from the Ruby Nation, Sapphire Nation, Pearl Nation, and Amethyst Nation.
After all, the two products released by the Heavenly Justice Group would easily be able to penetrate the international market.
Ye Chen stood below the stage and watched with interest as Sun Yi prepared to go on stage for her speech. She had to be ready to face the media, who were known for their poisonous tongues.
Some of the reporters from River City noticed Ye Chen, and their eyes narrowed.
Who would have thought that the big boss of the Heavenly Justice Group would actually show up here?
On the day the Heavenly Justice Group opened for business, they had a;; witnessed how terrifying Ye Chen was!
Behind him stood the two top leaders of River City, the Royal Club, the Zhou family of Jiangnan Province, and the military.
Who would dare to offend someone with such a background?
Some of the photographers had wanted to take a picture of Ye Chen, but were immediately stopped by their co-workers.
“You can take a picture of anyone but that man.”
Some of the new photographers were confused.
“Why?”
“Don’t ask why. If anything happens, you’ll be responsible!”
The cameraman panicked and quickly turned his camera toward the stage.
The press conference officially began at ten o’clock in the morning.
When Sun Yi went on stage, some of the foreign reporters were stunned. They were aware that the one giving the speech would be the vice president of the Heavenly Justice Group, Miss Sun.
However, who would have thought that she would turn out to be so young?
Sun Yi stood in the center of the stage, looking confident and comfortable.
“I guess everyone is very curious about our company’s two products. I won’t keep you in suspense. This time, the Heavenly Justice Group will be releasing two products at the same time. The first main product is called the Blood Coagulation Longevity Pill! It is different from ordinary health products. Once an elderly person takes a course of treatment with this product, their body will be filled with endless vitality. Our Heavenly Justice Group guarantees that every elderly person will become at least five years younger!”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar.
Five years younger?
Was this a f*cking immortal pill?
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a well-known Pearl Nation reporter and her team walked in. Obviously, she was late.
Ye Chen and Sun Yi looked displeased. The press conference had set a time to arrive and everyone was punctual. Why was this media outlet late?
However, in front of so many cameras, Sun Yi did not flare up. She just nodded in acknowledgement..
