Chapter 340: 340 – AnRan’s Industry
The city has a large area, at least three times the size of Four Seas City, and the continuous flow of people makes it pretty lively.
Before entering Wuyang City, AnRan had already removed his disguise. Here, truly, it was the domain of the An Family from the Northwest. Even if his identity was exposed, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty would never be able to touch him.
This place really is the private garden of the Northwest An Family. No matter what rules there are, they don’t work here. Whatever influences come from Chengdu, they have to stay here and obey the Northwest An Family’s rules!
As soon as AnRan entered Wuyang City, he couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
“Damn, it’s much more comfortable at home, reassured!”
Isn’t it the truth? During the time he was with Jiang Xiaobai, they had to endure the elements. The plump boy hadn’t had a good rest, not to mention the frequent unnerving situations they found themselves in.
Now that they had returned to Wuyang City, his territory, AnRan felt like a different person entirely.
He was extremely domineering!
“Let’s go, boss. I’ll show you my property and give you a good shock!”
AnRan chuckled, and started leading Jiang Xiaobai forward.
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled despairingly, “You’re just going to go? After you’ve been training outside for so long, shouldn’t you go home first after returning?”
“Go home for what? To look at that old man’s face? As soon as he sees me, he starts questioning me about everything; it’s annoying.”
AnRan waved his hand dismissively, his face full of distaste. “Let’s leave this for later; let’s go have fun. We’ll go back at night!”
At this, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to follow AnRan towards his properties.
What they didn’t know was that as soon as they entered the city, someone from the An Family recognized AnRan and immediately went back to report.
When AnRan’s father, An Wujun, heard the news, he banged his fist on the table in fury.
“What an unfilial son. He’s been gone for so long and hasn’t kept in contact with the family. Now that he’s back, he doesn’t even want to come home?”
An Wujun was so angry he couldn’t contain himself. He paced back and forth in the hall, a look of fury all over his face.
Just then, a beautiful woman walked in, a wry smile on her face.
“What’s wrong, Wujun?”
“What else could it be? The little shit doesn’t know how fortunate he is. He’s back and he doesn’t even come home first, preferring to gallivant instead?”
An Wujun glared, snapping, “He’s gone too far!”
“Humph, isn’t it you who forced him to experience dangerous trials like the Mad Demon Secret Land? Can’t he hold a grudge?”
The beautiful woman laughed lightly, “Forget him. As long as he’s back, it’s fine, he doesn’t usually live at home anyway.”
“Is that the same?”
An Wujun hurriedly added, “This time he returned from outside; he must have acquired some prospects. If he has provoked someone, that kid will not behave.”
“We have to ask clear, also, it’s been nearly two months since we last saw him. Doesn’t he care about his parents’ feelings?”
With that, An Wujun sat down with a huff in his chair and guzzled down his nearby tea.
The beautiful woman didn’t say anything more and just reassured him. It didn’t take long for An Wujun to calm down.
“My lady, you spoil that kid too much,” An Wujun sighed.
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman burst into laughter, “I spoil him? An Wujun, do you not know that the way your son has turned out is 80% because of you!”
“Never mind, there’s no point in talking to you. I have to deal with some shop issues. Recently, that key has been causing a lot of trouble.”
On to Wuyang City’s downtown, it is a bustling marketplace, full of people from Chengdu and the Northern State.
The hustle and bustle here make the place lively.
Strolling through the crowd, Jiang Xiaobai was finally able to slow down and take a tour. Most of the time before, he was either on the run or planning something.
He had been so exhausted recently.
“Boss, we’ve arrived. Let you take a look at my biggest property!”
AnRan pointed to a huge building ahead, chuckling.
Written in golden letters on a plaque hung over the building’s gate was: “Wu An Line.”
“An auction house, well done. Those who can establish an auction house are all very powerful,” Jiang Xiaobai said, amazed.
AnRan had showed him many of his properties, including taverns and other types of shops, but this auction house impressed Jiang Xiaobai the most.
Because from his knowledge, opening an auction house required some substantial power.
After hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s praise, AnRan chuckled shyly, “Hehe, boss, you’re too kind. I built this myself, without using any of my family’s help. Impressive, right?”
“Not bad, let’s go in and take a look.”
The two of them immediately walked into the auction house. It’s called an auction house, but in essence, it’s kind of like a shopping mall.
The auction site was located in a hall at the back, and the front was where various items were sold, from elixir, precious artifacts, to combat skills.
AnRan led Jiang Xiaobai on a tour, introducing the place to him, with several maidens attending to their needs.
In essence, anyone able to shop at AnRan’s place was either wealthy or noble.
Some people even recognized AnRan and came forward in a fawning manner to please him. Of course, AnRan just ignored them and waved them away.
“How is it, boss, isn’t it good?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been back, I must say, I missed it.”
“Before leaving Wuyang City, my biggest dream was to expand this trading business to the entire Eastern Territory and become a hegemon. But after experiencing many things, I’ve realized that in order to forge iron, one must be strong oneself.”
AnRan laughed.
“Not bad for having this kind of realization. It’s more valuable than improving your strength.” Jiang Xiaobai said with a chuckle.
AnRan quickly nodded, looking as if he was taking in a lesson.
At this moment, the nearby servants were all shocked. When had their boss ever given such respect to someone before?
He didn’t even pay any attention to the most powerful young master in the whole Wuyang City. Yet a young man like this could earn his admiration?
Who exactly was this young man?
Just at that moment, a young man rushed to a servant in the shop and yelled.
“Are you fucking blind? Don’t you know this is the Purifying Dan?”
“DO you know how precious the Purifying Dan is, you even want to scratch some with your nails to taste. Are you dreaming?”
