The leader of the Mie family proved his expertise in dealing with social interactions as he soon had the young boy and girl in high spirits with his words.

"Mie family leader, I heard that you're planning to spend five hundred million Huaxia currency to invite a grandmaster in the late-stage of Huajin?" Wei Donglai cut straight to the chase.

"That is indeed true," The Mie family leader responded quickly.

"Staying here for a month is not possible. I have a premonition that the enemies of the Mie family will strike soon. After the battle, regardless of the result, I will leave. I wonder, Mie family leader, can you accept that?" Wei Donglai nodded and spoke.

The enemies of the Mie Family are about to strike?

The Mie family leader was startled by Wei Donglai's words. As the leader of a significant force and given the century-long legacy of the Mie family, he fully understood the incredible prediction ability of these martial arts Grandmasters. If the enemies were going to strike 'soon', then it would happen in the next few days.

After hearing that Wei Donglai was only willing to fight once, the Mie family leader gave it some thought. After the fight, no matter the outcome, if Wei Donglai were to leave... well, they would just have to spend an additional five hundred million.

Just a moment ago, they had already suffered a loss of twenty-seven billion. What was another five hundred million to them?

A grandmaster in the late-stage Huajin plays a significant role in such a battle.

Besides, if they could eliminate an opposing Huajin grandmaster because of Wei Donglai, the five hundred million would be worth it.

If they could settle their enemies in one battle, it would be the best outcome. But even if they couldn't do that, they could still hire Wei Donglai again. If Wei Donglai was willing to act for five hundred million this time, then it wouldn't be difficult to enlist his services again.

"Grandmaster Wei is a significant figure in the martial arts world with his superb skills. Jointly asking for Wei's assistance at merely five hundred million Huaxia currency is an honor for our Mie family. Naturally, we have no objections." With these thoughts in mind, the Mie family leader nodded, politely replying.

"Thank you in advance, Master Mie. Ah, in my old age I find myself out of touch with society. I wanted to train my two disciples but find myself having to earn money through fighting..." Wei Donglai gave a small sigh as he chuckled and accepted his proposal.

Wei Donglai was not worried about the Mie family leader refusing his condition. In his eyes, the leader is a clever man who should understand the pros and cons and would not decline the proposal.

"Grandmaster Wei is joking. The Baji Sect has many businesses; I am sure that this amount of money is insignificant to you. Grandmaster Wei's assistance to our family in our time of need is of utmost importance to us, and the Mie family is extremely grateful for it," The Mie family leader went on, his words beautifully crafted.

And action speaks louder than words, the Mie family leader gestured, and a subordinate handed over a black bank card prepared in advance containing five hundred million Huaxia currency.

"This bank card contains five hundred million Huaxia currency. Please accept it, Grandmaster Wei," the Mie family leader smiled at Wei Donglai.

Given that Wei Donglai was a revered figure comparable to the North Star in the martial arts world, he wasn't afraid that Wei would accept the money without doing his part properly.

"Although the Baji Sect has many assets, they aren't mine alone. It's more comforting to spend the money you earn yourself," Wei Donglai slightly smiled.

"In this case, I'll express my gratitude to Master Mie on behalf of my two disciples." After a pause, Wei Donglai spoke.

As he was talking, Wei Donglai turned to his male disciple who stepped forward and accepted the bank card. A gleam flashed through the disciple's eyes.

Five hundred million Huaxia currency was now at hand. It was so easy for his master to earn money. He knew that his master was earning this money genuinely in order to train him and his junior sister disciple.

In this society where the rich are increasingly marveled at and the rare treasures of the world are increasingly scarce and expensive, the existence of being poor in literature and rich in martial arts was truly felt.

With this five hundred million Huaxia currency that his master had just secured, if it were all spent on him and his junior sister disciple, their strength would definitely increase by a significant margin.

Already at the peak of Mingjin, it wouldn't be long before he would break through to the initial stage of Dark Strength. He was only twenty-three years old now, and perhaps... he was well on his way to becoming the youngest Dark Strength master in the martial arts world.

Only by stepping into Dark Strength could a martial artist truly step through the door of martial arts. Once one entered Dark Strength, his real strength would swiftly increase. Furthermore, with the abundant resources provided by his master, he might quickly break through to the mid-term realm of Dark Strength, or even the late stages of Dark Strength.

The mere thought of this scenario filled his heart with immense excitement.

"The future of the two distinguished disciples trained under Grandmaster Wei is limitless." Mie leader looked at the two disciples of Wei Donglai and spoke with a smile.

With this single comment, he managed to compliment all three, Wei Donglai and his two disciples. As expected, the two disciples were even more delighted to hear Mie family leader's words. The only exception was Wei Donglai who was much more experienced and merely gave a slight smile, saying nothing more.

"Unexpectedly, Master Wei has come."

"Long time no see, brother Wei."

"With Master Wei here to defend, we can rest assured."

At that moment, the other Grandmasters who received news of Wei Donglai's arrival also hurried over, each greeting him with smiles on their faces.

All those present were at the Grandmaster realm, with the Dark Strength masters quietly following behind without uttering a word. The majority of those present had reached the initial stage of Huajin and were largely Wei Donglai's juniors.

However, in the martial arts world, those who have attained a higher level of skill are considered masters. Within the same sect, seniority is highly considered. However, for different sects, especially those without any significant relationship, strength was most respected.

As soon as one enters Huajin, they are considered to be at the level of a Grandmaster and are worthy of interacting with Wei Donglai as equals.

However, due to Wei Donglai's supreme strength and high stature, many Huajin Grandmasters still preferred to be considered his junior. Only a mid-level Huajin Grandmaster, who was roughly the same age as Wei Donglai and who did not lack too much in strength, and had a decent relationship with Wei Donglai, considered himself Wei's equal.

"You're all too courteous. We're all equal here. Brother Wang, it's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it? Our last meeting was at the martial arts conference five years ago, wasn't it? I didn't expect to encounter you here today. Perhaps, we might have to fight side by side soon..." Wei Donglai looked at the crowd and laughed, before turning his gaze to the mid-stage Huajin Grandmaster.

The only one on the scene who he took seriously was this mid-stage Huajin Grandmaster.

"Oh? Brother Wei, do you too feel that soon..." The Wang surnamed Grandmaster, whose given name was Wang Zhenhai, was slightly surprised as he understood Wei Donglai's hint.

As his words dropped, he quickly realized and laughed. As a mid-stage Huajin Grandmaster, if he sensed it, it wouldn't be strange that a late-stage Huajin Grandmaster like Wei Donglai would too.

On the contrary, it would be strange if Wei Donglai did not sense it.

"Initially, I was unsure. But just now, it became clear," Wei Donglai slightly smiled.

His words gave off an enigmatic air, but those present were all no ordinary individuals and most of them understood what Wei Donglai meant.

Especially those few early-stage Huajin Grandmasters. They had already sensed some vague information, but it was not very detailed. Now, hearing Wei Donglai's words, they understood.

The moon tonight was looking good, and it seemed a perfect night for a battle, and perhaps even a killing.

"Bang—Bang—"

Sudden gunshots broke the tranquil night.

"Enemies are attacking!"

A loud shout echoed simultaneously, piercing through the heavens.

"I am here only to kill those of the Mie family. Anyone who dares to obstruct my path will be killed without mercy!" A cold voice echoed from outside of the Mie Family villa, quickly reaching the interior of the villa, and resonated throughout.
