Chapter 548: Chapter 259: Swallowing the Bizarre, The Great Union of Crimson Preferred [10,000 words]_3

“Come in!” Xu He’s voice came from inside.

Mu Rufeng immediately pushed the door open and withdrew his ability.

“It stinks, who are you?” Xu He looked up at Mu Rufeng, frowning slightly.

He wasn’t worried that this unfamiliar person posed any threat, being a Level 9 Ghost Emperor himself in his own territory, who could threaten him?

“Mr. Xu, it’s me.” Mu Rufeng removed the bandage from his body, revealing his original face.

“Why have you come so suddenly?” Xu He was slightly startled.

“Your smell… is it Stinky Fruit and fragrant fruit? Why did you eat both together?” Xu He said.

“I did it to disguise my scent, so no one would know my identity. I’ve come here for something important,” Mu Rufeng said.

“Something important? Is it about what you warned me last time?”

Xu He sealed his own sense of smell and then stood up from behind the desk to walk to the sofa, gesturing for Mu Rufeng to sit as well.

Mu Rufeng nodded and took a seat on the sofa, but he didn’t speak, instead looking toward the door.

Xu He immediately understood and unfolded his Ghost Stealth.

Although he was on his own territory, it was safer with Ghost Stealth enveloping them.

“After your warning, I’ve made some preparations, I guess it should be Wangxi’s Choice and Crimson Preferred.”

“Now they’re just grasshoppers after autumn, they will soon be acquired by me,” Xu He said confidently.

“Mr. Xu, according to your idea, it should be them acquiring Crimson Preferred in the end.”

“What? Mr. Mu, you must be joking, both Wangxi’s Choice and Crimson Preferred currently don’t have a flow comparable to even a fraction of ours,” Xu He said, laughing, thinking Mu Rufeng was joking.

“Mr. Xu, it should be WangxiOs Choice now,” Mu Rufeng said slowly.

“Wangxi’s Choice? They merged? Impossible, there’s been no news about this on the outside.”

“Can you turn off the lights? I’ll cast a shadow,” Mu Rufeng said.

Xu He didn’t respond, after which the room’s lights dimmed.

Mu Rufeng immediately took out his phone, selected a video, then used the projection function to cast it on the snow-white wall to the left.

Soon, the Time Book appeared in front of Xu He.

The projection resolution was very high, extremely clear.

As Xu He read the first line, he sat up straight, and his expression gradually became solemn.

As he read more and more, the aura around him also became increasingly terrifying.

After a while, Xu He reined in his aura and looked at Mu Rufeng.

“Sorry, I got a bit carried away.”

“Is all this true? What item is this book?” Xu He said slowly.

“This is the Time Book, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.”

“So it’s the Time Book, I can’t believe it, you actually have the Time Book.”

“If it is the Time Book, then this is definitely true.” Xu He’s expression became very grave.

Xu He had seen information about the Time Book in a very ancient document.

The Time Book records all events of past ages, and by paying a price, one can understand everything under heaven.

The origin of the Time Book comes from World Rules, and in the Mysterious World, there have been no sightings of the Time Book.

It seems, it’s not that there has not been a sighting, just that someone acquired it and never revealed it.

“So, after I learned about this, I came over using this opportunity to tell you.”

“I didn’t notify you over the phone because I was worried it wasn’t safe,” Mu Rufeng said.

“This matter is too big, I couldn’t believe they actually merged and also accepted funding from the other commercial guild.”

“It looks like, it was the other commercial guild orchestrating this behind the scenes, I didn’t expect them to still be so persistent, to spend such a great cost this time,” Xu He said.

“The other commercial guild is still persistent? Did they target you before?” Mu Rufeng said.

“When Crimson Preferred was being squeezed by Wangxi’s Choice and Crimson Preferred at its lowest, people from the other commercial guild came to me wanting to invest.”

“If it was Treasure Tower, Heaven and Earth Bank, these kinds of large domestic conglomerates, I might have agreed, but the other commercial guild is Western.”

“I don’t trust them, there are quite a few group forces in Qingshan City that have been emptied or even assassinated because they were funded by the other commercial guild,” Xu He said.

“So now, we need to discuss carefully how to deal with this and also make sure they don’t know that we’re onto their plan,” Mu Rufeng said.

“Or say, should you first go verify whether they have merged?” Mu Rufeng added.

“There’s no need to verify, as I don’t want to stir up the snakes, but there’s someone we can call in for questioning,” Xu He said with a cold laugh.

“Liu Dong?”

“Yes, I really didn’t expect Liu Dong to betray me, he’s been with Crimson Preferred for a long time and also owns one percent of the shares, why he would betray, I still can’t figure out,” Xu He said.

“If you can’t figure it out, just interrogate him to find out, Mr. Xu, you should have a way to question him without letting him expose anything, right?” Mu Rufeng said.

“That guy is just a Level 7 Ghost General, I can scare him into talking, but still, we should be cautious, I’m going to Treasure Tower to buy some items,” Xu He said.

“No need to go through that trouble, I’ve contracted an Abnormality with the ability to change someone’s perception, once we get information out of him, I can just make him Forget,” Mu Rufeng said.
