Chapter 3683: Indivisible

"It seems that I rejected his proposal last time. As he said, I will be in trouble in the future."

That person reminded Edward that day to terminate the cooperative relationship with Xiao Yihao, otherwise Edward would bear the consequences.

If something like this happened now, it must be related to these people. Edward thought something would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Kill half of them and leave the other half. This is to threaten me. The other half is to give me a reminder."

"It should be like this. I came to you today to make it clear that there are always dangers around you and me."

Xiao Yi personally consulted with Edward to see what kind of decision Edward would make on this matter. No matter how Edward made his decision, Xiao Yi would not blame him.

"These people violated the rules set by cultivators and attacked ordinary people privately. They attacked me several times before. It is conceivable that there is nothing they dare not do."

So what if it was Edward. With Xiao Yi's strength last time he saw Wanyan Lie, it would not be difficult to kill Edward secretly.

What makes them scrupulous should be the strength of the Edward family. Once the Black Dragon clan takes action, it will cause huge repercussions in the world.

Unable to bear the consequences at that time, the Black Dragon Clan set its sights on the business cooperation between Edward and Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi could predict that this was just the beginning.

"This time the arms were lost, and half of the people on the ship died. This situation will definitely happen again, but by that time, I'm afraid there won't be any survivors."

Xiao Yi carefully analyzed the stakes with Edward. Ordinary people have no way to deal with cultivators.

"Edward, I have said before that the big trouble you encountered this time is because of me, Xiao Yi. If you choose to withdraw from the business, I, Xiao Yi, will not have a single complaint."

The words are very clear. How could Edward not know that if arms are lost once, there will be another time.

Businessmen always value profit. If there is no profit to be made, there is no need to continue. Edward can choose to let go.

But this time it was different. Even though he knew the consequences, he still believed in Xiao Yi's ability and did not terminate the cooperative relationship.

"No... the cooperation between the two of us will not stop just because we encounter a little difficulty."

Edward held an ear of rice in his hand and threw it under the bridge. The ear of rice drifted far away with the flowing river.

"Xiao Yi, you don't know that once something starts, it's not that easy to end it."

He believed in Xiao Yi and believed that Xiao Yi would think of a way to deal with it, so he would not retreat easily.

"You must be curious why I still choose to do this under such circumstances. It's because now my Edward's business can no longer do without your Xiao Yi's power."

"This seems a bit impossible. Although I have achieved some achievements, compared with you, I am still far behind."

"There is a Chinese word called belittle oneself, and it refers to you now."

Edward has an in-depth study of Chinese culture and is very proficient in using these idioms.

Xiao Yi didn't feel how influential he was, but since he got to know Xiao Yi again, he knew Xiao Yi's true side.

Gradually, I discovered endless potential in Xiao Yi. The Edward family's business was indeed very large, but in some aspects, it just couldn't match Xiao Yi's ability.

"Xiao Yi, do you know who is competing with my Edward family to seize the market in this arms business?"

"Don't you mean that Jock?"

"Yes, Jock, I didn't take him seriously at all before."

Edward said truthfully, even if the Jock family was given a hundred years, they would never catch up with him.

This is because most of the market structure has been finalized, leaving only a few industries.

It's like a piece of cake. The biggest piece is cut away, and the remaining bit is left to many people to snatch it over, in order to satisfy their own desires.

The Jock family is one of them. Jock's father once interceded with the Edward family several times, and then he got several oil mines in the Middle East.

With these, the Jock family could gain a firm foothold. Jock, who took office later, was even worse. The downturn in the oil industry directly put the Jock family into a weak situation.

"This Jock becomes a gun for the other party. Wherever they point it, Jock will obey the master's wishes."

A force much more powerful than the Edward family stood behind Jock and became Jock's backer.

A rising tide lifts all boats. Jock's status was suddenly improved, especially because someone supported him and dared to openly challenge the Edward family.

"Nowadays, in the mercenary world, the situation has finally been reduced from the previous one. Due to the expansion of the arms business, some peaceful areas have once again been involved in the artillery fire of war."

This is a situation that no one wants to see. Edward had the ability to control it before, but now he can't help it.

Jock is a businessman, a typical profiteer. What he values ​​​​is always the word profit. In order to make money for himself, he will not care about the life and death of others.

The reason why Bart and his friends lived in the slums was that the villagers had been oppressed by Jock's business for many years, making it impossible for them to survive.

"As the arms business continues to expand, Jock will inevitably sell a large number of arms to the mercenary world. The influx of a large amount of funds has increased the confidence of the Jock family."

Edward had done a lot of arms business before, and he knew how much profit there was, but the gold was bought with the blood of others.

"The Jock family had been suppressed by the Edward family before. Now that Jock has a chance to turn things around, he will definitely seize this opportunity to make trouble for me."

Xiao Yi did not understand the struggles of these big families, but felt that what Edward thought seemed to be very far away.

"I'm afraid you're worrying too much about this. If Jock wants to go against you, it requires not only courage but also great strength."

"Nothing is impossible in the business world. Some people become rich overnight, while others go from being worth tens of millions to hundreds of millions to being broke overnight."

Edward knows this very well. Once there is a problem with the family's business, a large amount of funds can be lost in a short period of time.
