Chapter 56: Price of Two Billion Yuan
Getting up, Jia Hao stretched his body, with soft sounds of bone cracking inside his body. He could feel that his organs were more vigorous now, and they were ready to give more output than a normal human’s organs could give.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Hao wiped his sweat as he dressed back. Looking at the time, Jia Hao realized that it was already time for him to meet Chen Mo.
As he went to a small restaurant nearby, Jia Hao noticed Chen Mo waiting for him.
” Ah, Little Jia, Come with me. We have booked a private cabin. You know, this place’s fried chicken is pretty good.”
” Then, I shall have a bucket.” Jia Hao laughed lightly as he followed Chen Mo inside the private cabin. Inside the cabin, Jia Hao saw a middle aged man with dark circles under his eyes, along with an old man in simple robes.

[ Recent Future Points: Not any]
Jia Hao raised his brows when he read the description of Xu Fu and Sun Shuang with his Sage’s Divine Eyes.
‘ Hmm, The Haizhou Food Suppliers is a behemoth in the food industry of Tianshu Nation. Their annual turnover is over fifty billion yuan.’
‘ As for thai Xu Fu, I didn’t expect to meet a genuine taoist so early. Although there are some mystery elements inside the Urban Fantasy, it was never fully explored.’
Jia Hao nodded as he smiled at Shun Shuang and Xu Fu. ” Junior Jia Hao greets elder. I believe you are Mr. Sun Shuang and Elder Xu?”
Sun Shuang and Xu Fu exchanged surprised glances when Jia Hao addressed them. They didn’t expected Jia Hao to know their identity.
” I see, So Elder Chen already told you about us, huh?” Sun Shuang smiled as he looked at Chen Mo.
” I didn’t.” Chen Mo shook his head. ” Didn’t I tell you? Little Jia is very perceptive.”
” Hoho, What a handsome face, sharp eyes, and vitality like a dragon. This young man has a bright future.” Xu Fu rubbed his beard as he gave an amicable smile.
” Well, Before showing you the treasure, may I know the reason why Mr. Sun is looking for such a thing?” Jia Hao smiled as he sat before them.
” Of course, you can choose not to tell me. It’s all your choice, Mr. Sun.”
Sun Shaung looked at Xu Fu, who nodded calmly. Then, Sun Shuang looked at Jia Hao and nodded.
” Very well, It started two months ago. My father is an antique collector and collected a lot of things. One day, he met an old man and bought a porcelain bowl.”
” It was a sealed bowl. However, the moment he brought it inside the house, the fell down and shattered, with a surge of black smoke escaping from it and merging with our mansion.”
” When I heard from my dad, I thought it must be his hallucination. However, from that day, My dad fell ill and his illness got worse as days passed. We tried to consult many doctors, but his condition didn’t improve.”
” Not to mention, his condition deteriorated the moment he goes outside the mansion. So, now we are treating him inside the mansion.”
Xu Fu nodded as he spoke. ” It was a malevolent spirit sealed inside that bowl. It’s a rare and vicious kind, which was purposely sent to harm the Sun Family.”
” Since the house’s foundation was put by Mr. Sun’s father, harming the fengshui of the house is the same as harming his health.”
” Not to mention, the Haizhou Food Corporations also suffered quite a lot these days.”
” To remove that spirit from the house, we need to create a fengshui array. However, in the center of the array, we need a sacred treasure containing evil repelling extreme Yang energy. And Treasured Gold is such a material.”
” Well, Then I guess this item might truly help you.” Jia Hao grinned as he took out the small Snowlion statue, showing it to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu’s eyes gleamed as he held the statue. As his fingers traced on the mane of the lion, his face became excited.
” Heavens! How is it possible for a treasure like this appear in the mortal world? This is simply too good.”
” Elder Xu, Is this treasure authentic?”
” I can feel the holy aura around it. Keeping it around you will keep you healthy and protect you from dark forces.” Xu Fu nodded.
” Also, With this, I am sure we can eradicate that curse from your mansion, restoring peace and prosperity in your life.”
” Very well, Since Elder Xu has given his verdict, I am willing to buy this.” Sun Shuang looked at Jia Hao.
” Name your price.”
Jia Hao chuckled as he sat composed. ” Well, Before doing that…Mr. Sun, Are you doing some big deal in a few days? Something which if fails…Can give you loss of few billions.”
” Eh? Deal?”
At first, Sun Shuang didn’t understand what Jia Hao was saying. However, suddenly, he remembered something as his eyes narrowed.
” I wonder how you know about this information?”
” Well, It doesn’t matter where I know this information.” Jia Hao tapped his finger on the table. ” The thing is… I know this deal is a trap and it will fail eventually, making you lose ten billion yuan at once.”
” What?!”
Sun Shuang’s expression changed when he heard that. Of course, he understood which deal Jia Hao was talking about. And it could indeed give him such a major loss if the deal fails.
” No, How is that possible? I have personally checked everything. There is no way it can happen!” Sun Shuang shook his head as he looked at Jia Hao with annoyance.
” You are just a brat. How can you talk to me like that, and point question at my decision?”
” Well? I just spoke what I wanted to speak.” Jia Hao shrugged.
” You better check the closest ones who know about this deal along with you. Because I am sure, one of them is a mole and the reason behind the failure of that deal.”
Sun Shaung’s expression changed once again when he heard that.
” Do you understand what you are saying?”
