Chapter 4659 — Qi Wenmo's Beloved

"That's excellent. If you can swallow up all that business, the agency will be reborn!" Wei Zhao's eyes lit up.
An escort agency confined to the waters of South Continent and one that ranged across the five Cloud Tier Islands were existences on two entirely different levels. Once the Qingtian Escort Agency successfully digested this long-distance business, its strength would advance by leaps and bounds, beyond the reach of any other agency still confined to the South Continent seas.
"Yes, my father and I both see this business as crucial—not the slightest mistake can be allowed. But we don't have treasure ships of our own, and ordinary sea vessels simply cannot cross such vast distances. That's why we decided to cooperate with the Treasure Ship Transport Company. It was through this matter that I met her..." A silly smile suddenly surfaced on Qi Wenmo's face.
Wei Zhao could not help but laugh at the sight. The old Qi Wenmo had been, if not a gallant ladies' man, certainly an elegant young gentleman. Now, because of a woman, he had become a foolish, lovestruck swain. Truly, the word "love" was wondrous and unfathomable.
"Enough, Brother Qi. Put away that infatuated look—I'm getting goosebumps," Wei Zhao said, shaking his head speechlessly.
"The pot calls the kettle black. Aren't you tangled up in your own debts of love, Brother Ling? Now that's what I call true brothers," Qi Wenmo laughed.
"I'm not nearly as infatuated as you..." Wei Zhao pursed his lips, then asked: "By the way, how are things in South Continent lately? Have the spirit beasts made any moves?"
"They've already begun. The waters and city docks closest to South Island have all been taken over by spirit beast experts. For now they claim they're only maintaining order and haven't started charging fees directly, but everyone knows it's only a matter of time." Qi Wenmo's expression turned several degrees graver at the mention of this.
"So they couldn't hold back after all." Wei Zhao nodded. Frankly, the spirit beasts taking this long to make a move was itself quite unexpected. With Zhuque's ambitious posture, laying hands on the surrounding South Continent waters was inevitable—no one could stop it short of war with the spirit beast clan.
"We have you to thank for the warning, Brother Ling—otherwise our Qingtian Escort Agency would have suffered badly! Did you know the Shenfeng Escort Agency has already fallen apart? One of their fleets refused to submit, and its people were blasted to death on the spot by spirit beast experts. After that, every escort run the Shenfeng Escort Agency made ended in wrecked ships and dead men. They can't hold on at all now. That's the price of provoking the spirit beast clan. If we hadn't prepared in advance, I'm afraid it would be us they'd have set their sights on." Qi Wenmo spoke with lingering fear.
"The Shenfeng Escort Agency?" Wei Zhao pondered for a moment before recalling. It was one of the five great escort agencies, an old aristocratic house just like the Four Seas Escort Agency! R1152
