Medical Sage

Chen Yaoyang could finally breathe a sigh of relief, while the Great Elder of the Chen Family—the One-eyed Elder—was filled with shock and awe.

He was a genuine A Level Fire Element Ability User, yet he had just been ’schooled’ by a young man barely in his twenties. It had been done in such a direct and authoritative way that he had no choice but to concede! What shocked him most was that Chen Fei was so young yet possessed such terrifying strength. Was he at the Peak of a First-Class Ancient Warrior? Or even Half-Step Innate? He didn’t dare to imagine it! He knew that if word of this got out, it would trigger a massive storm across the globe! Compared to Chen Fei, he felt like he had wasted his life.

”A favor? Actually, I do need a favor from you two,” Chen Fei said with a smile after a moment of thought.

”Please, just tell us what you need, Mr. Chen,” the One-eyed Elder immediately replied.

”Money. I need a sum of money right now,” Chen Fei stated without hesitation.

”That’s simple. Is one billion enough? Yaoyang, call the family right now! Tell them to prepare the money—one billion US dollars!” the One-eyed Elder boomed. His offer was astonishingly bold! He had casually thrown out a figure of one billion, and in US dollars no less!

”That’s plenty. But I don’t need that much. I just need some seed money,” Chen Fei said, a little startled himself. He quickly waved his hand with a smile.

In truth, he only needed a small sum to get started. Even one billion RMB would have been too much, to say nothing of one billion US dollars.

”Then have the family prepare three hundred million US dollars for now. Yaoyang…” the One-eyed Elder relented.

The truth was, even for a clan with the financial might of the Hong Kong Chen Family, liquidating a staggering sum like one billion US dollars at once would still be a strain, even when dipping into their emergency reserves. He had made the offer to show Chen Fei his—and by extension, the Chen Family’s—attitude of absolute, unconditional support! I’m certain this gesture today will bring immense returns for the Chen Family in the future!

”Yes, Mr. Chen, Great Elder. I’ll make the call now.” Chen Yaoyang immediately stepped aside. A few moments later, he returned, showing them a message on his phone. ”Mr. Chen, Great Elder, the funds have been arranged.”

Compared to the astronomical figure of one billion US dollars, three hundred million was a much smaller burden for the Chen Family. With the Great Elder himself giving the order, the family naturally wouldn’t dare delay for a second. The arrangements were made in just a few minutes, a truly incredible speed. After all, that was three hundred million US dollars…

”Mr. Chen, the money is ready. What should we do now…?” the One-eyed Elder asked, once again deferring to Chen Fei.

Even though he was somewhat prepared for it, Chen Yaoyang couldn’t help but feel shocked. That was their Great Elder, the most powerful and respected figure in the Hong Kong Chen Family! Within the clan, he was a patriarch whose word was law. Yet here he was, showing such immense respect to a young man like Chen Fei. He had never witnessed such a staggering scene in his entire life! It was just more proof of how terrifying Chen Fei was. It proved that my previous decision was the right one!

”Since the money is ready,” Chen Fei said, stroking his chin, ”you should have that He Che’s number, right? Could you please put me through?”

”Of course, right away, Mr. Chen.” Chen Yaoyang promptly dialed the number for He Che, the son of the Hee Family’s patriarch in Macau.

”What is it now, Chen Yaoyang? Don’t you ever give up?” An impatient voice, unmistakably He Che’s, came through the moment the call connected.

Chen Yaoyang’s face flushed with embarrassment and anger. A cold glint flashed in the One-eyed Elder’s eye. Even though Chen Yaoyang is young, he represents the Hong Kong Chen Family as its acting head. How dare some brat speak to him with such impatience? What does he mean by this? Does he think he can disrespect the Chen Family? The Macau Hee Family doesn’t have that right!

”Hello, Mr. He. Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Fei. Hua Zhinan is my friend,” Chen Fei said calmly, a strange smile touching his lips.

”…Oh, Chen Fei?” On the other end of the line, He Che paused for a moment before his tone returned to normal. ”Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?” He was just playing dumb. Of course he knew why the man was calling. It was about that fool who was stupid enough to offend Young Master Junn of the Holy Fire Sect. But he couldn’t say that out loud, so for now, he had to feign ignorance.

”Well, it’s like this. My friend lost one hundred million at your place, correct? I have the money now. May I come and ransom him?” Chen Fei could easily guess what the other party was thinking, and a cold smirk formed on his lips.

”Ransom him?” Sure enough, He Che hesitated. Young Master Junn had given clear instructions to hold the man until tomorrow! He knows this Chen Fei has ties to Chen Yaoyang of the Hong Kong Chen Family, but he couldn’t possibly have a stronger background than Young Master Junn!

With this in mind, He Che adopted an apologetic tone. ”I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Chen, but something has come up and I have to make a trip to the coast. How about we do this tomorrow? Can you please call me back then?” This was his stalling tactic. Since Chen Fei is connected to Chen Yaoyang, I don’t want to offend him recklessly. I’ll be polite. But Young Master Junn’s orders come first, so I have to stall. It’s only for one night. I can just hide out on the mainland coast for an evening if I have to. If they can’t find me, dragging this out for a night will be simple. Besides, they must have learned about Young Master Junn’s identity from Chen Yaoyang already, otherwise they wouldn’t be so polite. That actually makes things easier.

”Tomorrow? Are you sure about that, Mr. He?” Chen Fei suddenly chuckled, and the sound sent an inexplicable chill down He Che’s spine.

He Che chose to ignore the feeling and maintained a casual tone. ”Yes, Mr. Chen. We’ll talk tomorrow.” With that, he hung up the phone.

”Audacious!” the One-eyed Elder roared, his anger flaring. ”Since when does a mere junior of the Hee Family dare to be so arrogant? Mr. Chen, don’t worry. I’ll call that old fool Hee Qiuming right now. We’ll see about this ’waiting until tomorrow’ nonsense!”

”No need,” Chen Fei replied, a faint smile playing on his lips. ”If he says tomorrow, then we’ll deal with it tomorrow. Let’s just hope he doesn’t regret saying that.” He then added, ”Let’s go. We’re heading to the Nine Heavens of the Milky Way.”

”The Nine Heavens of the Milky Way?” Both Chen Yaoyang and the One-eyed Elder were stunned, not understanding Chen Fei’s reasoning. They were, however, wise enough not to ask. A few moments later, a convoy of imposing luxury cars departed from the villa, heading straight for the Casino of the Nine Heavens of the Milky Way.

「The Casino of the Nine Heavens of the Milky Way」

As one of Macau’s top six casinos, the interior of the Nine Heavens of the Milky Way was the pinnacle of luxury. Its four walls were a dazzling gold, glittering with resplendent color. From a distance, the building’s architecture resembled a colossal executioner’s sword plunged into the earth. It was an imposing sight, but in reality, it was the horrifying ’Decapitation Exquisite Bureau’ of Feng Shui—a formation specifically designed to financially ruin any gambler who entered!

Standing beneath the towering skyscraper, Chen Yaoyang leaned in and whispered to Chen Fei, ”Mr. Chen, this is the place.”

”It’s quite a place,” Chen Fei remarked, his gaze sweeping over the building’s exterior as he instantly discerned its secrets. ”An ordinary person who walks in here isn’t likely to walk out with their money.” Shaking his head, he ambled toward the chip exchange counter.

With such a powerful Feng Shui formation in place, the casino held every possible advantage—celestial, terrestrial, and mortal—making it nearly impossible for them to lose. However, in the study of fate and Feng Shui within the Cultivation World, there is a concept of ’overpowering fate’. It dictates that if one’s own destiny is strong enough, any external formation, no matter how terrifying, becomes as meaningless as a passing cloud and can be utterly ignored.

As for how strong Chen Fei’s destiny was… well, ahem, what do you think? His luck was so outrageous that he could not only reach his current level but also casually stumble upon the inheritance of a powerful master from the Cultivation World. So, is he strong? Very strong? Or unbelievably strong? He’s practically invincible!

”Sir, how many chips would you like to exchange?” asked the cashier, a local Macau woman, in a perfunctory, detached tone.

”How many?” Chen Fei touched his nose and smiled. ”Let’s start with one hundred million. US dollars.”

”How—how much? One hundred million?” Not only was the cashier dumbfounded, but everyone else nearby was stunned by his words, their jaws hanging open. My god, did he say one hundred million? In US dollars?!

While everyone was still reeling from the shock, Chen Yaoyang stepped forward and placed his Centurion Black Card on the counter. The sight of the card terrified the cashier even more. Her face went pale and she began to tremble. ”P-please, wait here a moment, sirs. I-I’ll go get the manager.”

This is completely beyond my authority! Are they here to cause trouble? They have to be. One hundred million US dollars? That’s impossible! This has to be some kind of joke!
