Wooooosh!!!

As soon as the elder monster waved his hand, the guest lounge where Zheng-Fu was sitting vibrated slightly before coming to a stop.

The elder monster then walked toward the door, gesturing with his hand and saying, "Royal Son-in-law, this way, please. We've arrived on the seventh floor!"

We've arrived!!?

Zheng-Fu was slightly shocked when he heard that, but soon returned to normal after realizing that the guest lounge must have been enchanted with some kind of movement spell. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to shift from the fifth floor to the seventh floor so quickly.

'This is no different from an elevator in my previous world, right?' Zheng-Fu thought, recalling his past life. But those memories had almost completely faded, as he was now fully immersed in this world, living his life and thinking only about the present.

After leaving the guest lounge, Zheng-Fu found himself in a large room, beautifully decorated with various plants and materials that created the impression of a peaceful, natural environment. However, beneath this tranquility lay many highly skilled martial masters lurking in the shadows.

"Oh! Young Master Zheng-Fu!" A familiar voice rang out—it was Wen-Xi.

"Master Wen-Xi!" Zheng-Fu wasn't surprised to see Wen-Xi here. Since the president of the chamber of commerce knew about him through Wen-Xi, it was no surprise that Wen-Xi would be present.

In addition to Wen-Xi, there were five middle-aged male monsters and another attractive, well-endowed female monster seated nearby. They all wore serious expressions as they observed Zheng-Fu. As Zheng-Fu suspected, these individuals were likely high-ranking officials within the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce, or perhaps branch chamber keepers.

"I didn't expect the Royal Son-in-law to be so young. What a pity that I'm meeting you so late!" the female monster said, her gaze on Zheng-Fu shifting to a more seductive one.

"Oh! That's right! If we had met sooner, we would have gotten to know each other much better!" Zheng-Fu responded, without averting his gaze or showing any embarrassment. Instead, he gave her a playful expression.

The female monster was momentarily taken aback by Zheng-Fu's bold reply and playful expression. She hadn't expected him to respond in such a manner. But soon, her expression returned to normal, and she smiled at him with satisfaction, as though an idea had crossed her mind.

"Nonsense! The Han City Branch of the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce is in chaos right now. If there's nothing more important, I'd like to return to my duties!"

After the playful exchange between Zheng-Fu and the female monster, a disgruntled voice came from one of the male monsters seated at the far end. This was the chamber keeper of the Han City Branch.

"That's right! You summon us here just to listen to a kid's jokes? If so, President, you can't blame the Mou-Cai City Branch for not making any sales!" added another male monster, who was the chamber keeper of the Mou-Cai City Branch, seated next to the Han City Branch chamber keeper.

Huh?

Zheng-Fu glanced at the two with a neutral expression, recalling the information he had gathered about these two cities. He remembered that Han City and Mou-Cai City were under the command of two of the six city commanders. These commanders were once considered the first and second strongest, before Dan-Ge had ascended to the Divine King stage.

"Chamber Keeper Die-Long, Chamber Keeper Sen-Li, how could you speak like that? He is the Royal Son-in-law of our Monster Kingdom! You two are being far too rude!" a deep, powerful voice suddenly interjected. The speaker was another middle-aged male monster seated next to Wen-Xi and the female monster. This monster was the chamber keeper of the Hong-Lei City Branch.

"Royal Son-in-law!!?"

"Huh! Chamber Keeper Gak-Kuang, how can you claim that this kid is the Royal Son-in-law? If he truly is, why is there still a search for a suitor for the Thirteenth Princess?" Die-Long protested immediately. He didn't believe that Zheng-Fu was truly the Royal Son-in-law, and he had no intention of accepting it.

Die-Long had come here with the expectation that the skilled martial master he had brought with him would win the Thirteenth Princess's hand in marriage. Admitting that Zheng-Fu was the Royal Son-in-law was something he simply couldn't do.

Chamber Keeper Sen-Li shared Die-Long's views. He had even more faith in his skilled martial master and had invited a young master from one of the four major powers in the Mou-Cai City region. In addition, Sen-Li had made a secret deal involving the acquisition of the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce. There was no way he would acknowledge an unconfirmed Royal Son-in-law like Zheng-Fu.

"That matter..."

"Just as you two said. I'm not officially the Royal Son-in-law; I'm just labeled as one. But I'm not an ignorant child who will tolerate being insulted! If you don't believe I'm the Royal Son-in-law, that's fine. But if you think you can insult me... Huh!

You'll die!"

Zheng-Fu interrupted before Wen-Xi could respond, dismissing the words of the two chamber keepers. However, he wouldn't allow anyone to insult him or tolerate their disdainful stares. His words carried a sharp edge as he threatened them without holding back.

"Fatuous!! This kid is so arrogant! Don't you know who we are!?" Die-Long rose furiously, his anger evident. He couldn't believe that Zheng-Fu would dare speak so boldly, threatening his life without showing any respect, even though Die-Long could sense that Zheng-Fu's energy was lower than his own.

"Chamber Keeper Die-Long, there's no need for you to deal with him personally. This child, still wet behind the ears, can be handled by my confidant," Sen-Li said, stepping in to stop Die-Long from losing his temper. As soon as he finished speaking, a shadowy figure appeared beside him.

Flap!!!

"Master, how may I serve you?" The figure beside Sen-Li was a tall, skinny young monster with a fierce expression and a powerful, eerie aura. By sight alone, this monster appeared to be at the third or fourth level of the Divine Emperor stage.

Ah!!!

Mhm!

Die-Long, feeling the energy from Sen-Li's confidant, nodded in satisfaction and slowly sat down, glaring at Zheng-Fu with ruthless eyes.

"Master Sen-Li, don't you think this is inappropriate? You're well aware that this is a crucial area within the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce. And we're in the presence of the President. If you don't want to be dismissed, I suggest you remove that young man immediately!"

At that moment, a strong, authoritative voice spoke up. It belonged to the middle-aged monster seated in front of all the branch chamber keepers. He was the chamber keeper of the main office and held power second only to the president and the two regulators.

"In this case, I think Chamber Keeper Tu-Guang shouldn't interfere. This concerns the reputation of our Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce. If word gets out that branch chamber keepers were insulted by an incompetent child, we will be humiliated!" Sen-Li argued, trying to dismiss Tu-Guang's orders and insisting that his underling be allowed to act.

"That's right! If we let this slide, our reputation will be ruined. I don't agree with you, Tu-Guang. If people find out, no one will trust the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce again!" Die-Long added, supporting Sen-Li's words.

"But about that…"

"Thank you, Master Chamber Keeper Tu-Guang, for trying to help. But I'll handle this myself. After all, that's just a lowly underling. He can't do anything to me!"

Zheng-Fu interrupted Tu-Guang, appreciating his attempt to intervene but showing no fear of the two chamber keepers or their subordinate. He spoke with disdain, looking at them with contempt.

"You...!!!"

The three monsters immediately became enraged, especially the young subordinate, whose expression turned into fury. He was ready to leap at Zheng-Fu and tear him to shreds.

Wen-Xi, who knew Zheng-Fu's true power level, shook his head. Even if he had stepped in or revealed Zheng-Fu's strength, no one would have believed him. However, the other middle-aged male monster and the female monster noticed Wen-Xi's expression, realizing that he knew something they didn't.

'That's fine. Let this situation weed out the scammers, so the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce can progress. I'll let this young man handle those two chamber keepers. If he can't, I'll intervene later. After all, the exchange matters are more important.'

The elder monster standing behind Zheng-Fu thought silently. He had not spoken a word since the incident began. His silence allowed the two chamber keepers to escalate the situation, but he had other plans in mind and did not intend to interfere yet.

"Just as I said, you two chamber keepers! One underling isn't enough. No matter how many of them there are, call them all out so as not to waste any more time!"

"Yo… you… you!!!"
