Overlord Star

Chapter 144 Cultivating Chen Kun

"I need you to contact several pharmaceutical companies to mass-produce this new drug!" Jiang Yi said to the Chen family patriarch. "These pharmaceutical companies must be trustworthy and have no connection to the Shen family or Huichuntang. This task shouldn't be difficult for your Chen family!"

The Chen family patriarch immediately understood Jiang Yi's intentions. Jiang Yi was preparing to deal with the Shen family!

"Master Jiang, I will do my utmost!" the Chen family patriarch said. "If you are going after the Shen family, our Chen family will wholeheartedly assist you!"

"Finding a pharmaceutical company, that's on me. I'll sort everything out within three days, and then we'll start producing the new drug."

"Good!" Jiang Yi nodded.

"Once the drug is produced, how to sell it is a major issue."

"But that's okay, I'll have Shen Lu contact you. You two can discuss the specifics!" Jiang Yi said.

"Alright!" The Chen family patriarch nodded.

"I'm providing you with the new drug. How you deal with the Shen family is up to you!" Jiang Yi continued.

"We know what to do, and we certainly won't disappoint you, Master Jiang," the Chen family patriarch said eagerly.

"Since you know what to do, I won't waste any more words!" Jiang Yi smiled faintly at the Chen family patriarch. "When the time comes, I'll give your Chen family fifty percent of the profits."

Jiang Yi intended to offer the Chen family some benefits. If he expected the Chen family to work for him without offering any advantages, it would surely not work. Only the temptation of money could make others willing to work for him.

"Thank you, Master Jiang!" The Chen family patriarch was overjoyed.

The Chen family patriarch knew very well that the new drug Jiang Yi had developed, once produced, would definitely sell well and capture all the market share from the Shen family's Huatuo Powder. At that time, making money would be easier than picking up money from the ground.

Madam Chen also appeared very excited.

"If there's anything you're still unclear about, you can ask me," Jiang Yi said.

"I understand everything perfectly! I know what to do," the Chen family patriarch said with a smile.

Jiang Yi gave the Chen family patriarch the formula for the new drug and also left him samples. The Chen family patriarch, having been in the business world for so many years, felt fully confident with these two items that he could defeat the Shen family's Huatuo Powder and seize its entire market.

After clearly stating the arrangements, Jiang Yi stood up, preparing to leave.

"Master Jiang, I'd like to ask you for a small favor!" the Chen family patriarch said somewhat helplessly.

"Speak!" Jiang Yi said.

"I want to ask you to take in Chen Kun!" the Chen family patriarch said. "Ever since that boy Chen Kun returned from Jiang City, he's been staying at home doing nothing but mooching off us. I want him to follow you, Master Jiang. Let him serve tea or water, do anything, it doesn't matter. Only by following you, Master Jiang, can he have a future. Otherwise, he will always be a useless good-for-nothing."

The word "useless" made Chen Kun feel very helpless. Chen Kun knew that his father was saying this to persuade Jiang Yi to take him in, so he didn't speak up in protest.

"Alright, I happen to be in need of someone to run errands for me right now!" Jiang Yi agreed. Chen Kun was quite shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious. These were precisely the qualities Jiang Yi lacked in his inner circle. Previously, when Chen Kun was in Jiang City, he and Shen Lu had managed Tiansheng Group for him, and he had shown some ability. Chen Kun could be considered talented.

Seeing Jiang Yi agree, Chen Kun was very excited. He knew clearly that following Jiang Yi was the most promising path. After returning from Jiang City, Chen Kun had originally intended to find Jiang Yi but had never found a suitable excuse.

Jiang Yi stood up and walked towards the exit of the hall. Chen Kun, too excited, had not yet recovered his senses.

"Remember this, from now on, when you follow Master Jiang, do whatever he tells you to do. No matter what it is, don't ask why, just do it!" the Chen family patriarch instructed Chen Kun.

"Yes!" Chen Kun nodded.

"Go!" the Chen family patriarch said. Chen Kun didn't linger and immediately followed Jiang Yi.

After Chen Kun left, Madam Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

"Will Kun'er really have a future following Jiang Yi?" Madam Chen asked.

"Nonsense, is there even a need to ask?" The Chen family patriarch took a deep breath. "Master Jiang is no ordinary person. Many people don't know his great name, and I only know a little. Having Kun'er follow Master Jiang will undoubtedly lead to a boundless future."

Madam Chen remained silent.

"Do you know how many people would crave this opportunity? If our Chen family wasn't so fortunate to know Master Jiang, then that brat Chen Kun would never have such a great opportunity in his life!" the Chen family patriarch said with a smile.

"That's wonderful!" Madam Chen took a deep breath.

"How does Master Jiang compare to Sun Shengshou from the capital?" Madam Chen asked curiously.

"Sun Shengshou is nothing in comparison to Master Jiang!" the Chen family patriarch said. "How can the light of a firefly compare to the brilliance of the sun and moon? Don't ask so many questions. Having Kun'er follow Master Jiang is absolutely the right choice."

Hearing this, Madam Chen's heart was filled with smug delight.

Outside, Chen Kun reached the villa gate and finally caught up with Jiang Yi.

"Brother, let me drive!" Chen Kun got into the car without waiting for Jiang Yi to speak and started the engine. Chen Kun was proactively offering to be Jiang Yi's driver.

Jiang Yi said nothing and sat in the car. Seeing Jiang Yi get in, Chen Kun cautiously started the car.

"Brother, I've learned all the combat techniques you taught me last time. When will you teach me some more?" Chen Kun shamelessly asked Jiang Yi.

"Can you kill people?" Jiang Yi asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kun was stunned! Chen Kun was now a bit cowardly. If it was about beating someone up, Chen Kun wouldn't bat an eye. But to kill someone, Chen Kun lacked the courage.

"The combat techniques I taught you before were just the basics. The true essence lies in how to deliver a fatal blow in one move. If you don't have that resolve, you'll never learn it," Jiang Yi said.

"If it's killing those wicked people who deserve to die, I certainly have the resolve. They deserve to die anyway!" Chen Kun gritted his teeth.

"The people I want you to kill are all deserving of death!" Jiang Yi took out a list and handed it to Chen Kun. "Everyone on this list is part of an assassin organization. They kill for money, without regard for right or wrong. Every assassin's hands are stained with blood. Killing them is eliminating harm for the people!"

Chen Kun heard this and took the list to examine it carefully.

"Choose one assassin from this list and take care of him later. If you succeed, you'll follow me. If you fail, you'll leave," Jiang Yi told Chen Kun.

"No problem!" Chen Kun agreed without hesitation. "These bastards should have died long ago!"

"Think carefully. If you can't do it, you'll have to leave. If you don't accept this challenge, you can still be my driver in the future," Jiang Yi said.
