"Wait, how do you know where the Beast King’s lair is?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled.

Fei Tongtong said, puzzled, "The Beast King Mutated Material Company, everyone in Pu Hai knows where it is. Yinhe Building, that’s also the headquarters of the Beast King Group."

"We don’t need to go to their headquarters, just take me straight to the biggest purchasing store of Beast King Mutated Materials," Ding Huan said immediately.

He was sure that at the Beast King Group headquarters, it would be impossible to meet Beast King Nian Jinqing.

According to Fei Tongtong on the way, Nian Jinqing was a man who came from humble beginnings with no foundation.

Such a person was sure to be cautious, and most definitely not as arrogant as the Genetic Alliance, otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted until today, let alone expanded his operations.

From the fact that Nian Jinqing had stolen the Haiyun Mutated Material demon cores and abducted Mu Tingyun, Ding Huan was even more certain of what kind of person Nian Jinqing was.

At this time, the whole world was plunged into chaos. When Nian Jinqing stole things at this juncture, not many would care about his actions.

Right now, every organization was overwhelmed, who would intentionally confront a strong figure like Nian Jinqing? There wasn’t anyone to match Nian Jinqing.

With Nian Jinqing’s caution, as soon as he, Ding Huan, stepped into Yinhe Building, Nian Jinqing would get the news.

Even someone like Qiao Jiansha, when he met him, would know to make a call to check up on his, Ding Huan’s, situation.

Would a major figure like Nian Jinqing not know that he, Ding Huan, had once wiped out the headquarters of the Genetic Alliance? As soon as they knew, they wouldn’t confront him directly.

It wasn’t about fear, it was about being cautious.

He had also been cautious like this; if he hadn’t been, he wouldn’t have waited to be exterminated exclusively, but would have been destroyed by someone else earlier.

"Ah, that’s Tongmao Mall, the largest counter at the entrance on the first floor is the Beast King Mutated Materials shop." Hearing that Ding Huan wasn’t going directly to the Yinhe Building to fetch someone, Fei Tongtong felt somewhat disappointed.

She was worried about her husband, Zhao Quan, and how he was, if he was still alive, he would definitely be detained in Yinhe Building.

Though disappointed, she immediately told Ding Huan about the flagship store of Beast King Materials.

Fei Tongtong drove herself and quickly arrived at the entrance of Tongmao Mall.

"You wait in the car for me, I have some errands to run. Lao Liu, you wait here too. When I call for you later, come over," Ding Huan said, taking out a mask to wear, then putting on a pair of sunglasses, still carrying a large bag.

"Okay." Fei Tongtong really wanted to go with Ding Huan, but she knew she wouldn’t be of much help if she did; she had done everything she could.

Tongmao Mall was very famous in Pu Hai, and even now, when everyone was uneasy and uncertain about tomorrow, business at Tongmao Mall was still relatively good.

In this mall, every store was open, except for one that was closed off, not only with doors but also with several rooms inside. It was also several times larger than the other stores.

This was Beast King Mutated Materials.

Ding Huan stood outside the glass door of Beast King Mutated Materials. There were still quite a few people coming and going.

Now in the era of Fierce Beasts, what brought in money the fastest? Naturally, various materials from fierce beasts.

Despite Nian Jinqing’s covert forceful demanding behind the scenes, his business on the surface was well-regulated, and the prices were higher than others in the same line.

Only when he saw good items and the price exceeded what he was willing to pay, would he covertly steal them.

"Got something to sell?" Seeing Ding Huan, wearing sunglasses and a mask and carrying a big bag, a clerk immediately came up to ask.

"Got any demon cores to sell?" Ding Huan took out a plastic bag and asked.

"Demon cores?" The clerk was clearly startled by Ding Huan’s words and instinctively repeated the question.

As a clerk of a mutated material shop, he wasn’t inexperienced.

A Genetic Beast that produces demon cores had to be at least a third-level fierce beast. Out of ten third-level fierce beasts, only one or two might have a demon core.

How difficult was it to kill a third-level fierce beast? Not to mention finding one with a demon core.

"Yes, it’s a demon core," said Ding Huan, casually tossing the plastic bag onto the counter.

When the clerk opened the plastic bag and saw that it indeed contained a demon core, white with a few gray lines, his face brightened with excitement.

With this demon core, not only would his status skyrocket, but the benefits he was about to receive were substantial too.

He slowed down his tone, somewhat casually, "Yes, we’ll take it. How much do you want to sell it for?"

Although his tone was casual, he didn’t hand the plastic bag back to Ding Huan.

He was sure this wasn’t a third-level demon core; he had seen third-level demon cores, but this one might be even higher.

He was, after all, a Genetic Superpower User who had integrated a Genetic Potion, so he was still sensitive to the aura of demon cores.

Ding Huan casually grabbed the plastic bag back.

The clerk instinctively reached to grab it back, but he soon realized that the demon core wasn’t yet his shop’s property."

"I’m not sure about the price, it’s my first time encountering a demon core of this level," Ding Huan said offhandedly.

The clerk wasn’t quite sure what Ding Huan meant, but judging from Ding Huan’s casual attitude towards the demon core, it seemed he didn’t regard it too highly.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just packed it in a plastic bag.

As for Ding Huan saying it was his first time coming across a demon core, the clerk had no reason to doubt him.

"Don’t mention Ding Huan; he is just a Mutated Fierce Beast material shop assistant and had only seen a Demon Core once before."

"As for the market, there’s simply no Demon Core for sale, so it also has no price."

"The Demon Core in your hand isn’t very pure, containing some gray areas, which greatly reduces the price," the assistant calmly regained his prior demeanor.

"I’m offering this price," the assistant said, extending one finger.

"Okay, I agree," Ding Huan responded without hesitation.

The assistant was elated; he hadn’t expected Ding Huan to be such a fool.

That one finger could represent one million or ten million; since Ding Huan agreed, he wouldn’t be polite.

As for letting Ding Huan say out loud what he thought ’one’ was, ha, this was the Beast King Materials Shop. As long as it was agreed, the rest had to be on his terms:

"To be honest, taking this not-so-pure Demon Core for ten thousand, our store can only say we make a little. Hand over the item first, then we’ll verify.

Don’t worry, this is the price both sides have agreed on, we absolutely will not go back on our word.

Ah, it’s a pity, if this Demon Core didn’t have that gray aspect, the price would have been much higher."

The assistant spoke with a hint of pity, taking out a pen, ready to write the purchase order.

Ding Huan chuckled but didn’t pass over the Demon Core; instead, he said, "I meant one billion, and you say ten thousand, do you think I would sell the Demon Core to you for ten thousand?"

The assistant’s face darkened, setting down his pen, "We agreed on the price, are you thinking of going back on it?"

If it were half a year ago, he wouldn’t dare to do this. Now, the power of the Beast King Group in Pu Hai was not far from overbearing.

The most important thing was his direct superior had made it clear to him: if a Demon Core appeared, he must secure it at all costs. If not, then he had to contact higher-ups.

Other things could be disregarded, but if this Demon Core that surpassed a third-level Fierce Beast could be brought to the Beast King Group, he definitely wouldn’t remain a mere assistant, and he might have another chance to merge with a better Genetic Potion.

"In our shop, no one reneges on an agreed price," the assistant said as he took out his phone and dialed.

Ding Huan didn’t budge; he would be very disappointed if only a few security guards showed up.

For ordinary items, indeed, only a few security would arrive.

Of course, for a large company like the Beast King Group, they wouldn’t typically resort to such methods for common items.

When the store supervisor heard from the assistant that a Demon Core, potentially surpassing a third-level Fierce Beast, had appeared in the store, he nearly dropped his e-cigar.

He was well aware of what the boss of the Beast King Group, Nian Jinqing, had said in meetings: any Demon Core must be secured for the Beast King Group at all costs.

Now, not only had a Demon Core appeared, but it also surpassed a third-level Fierce Beast. They absolutely could not miss this.

The supervisor immediately phoned the assistant, instructing him to keep the customer steady at all costs. Meanwhile, he promptly reported it to Nian Jinqing.

Nian Jinqing had just come out from cultivation, and his heart raced with excitement. With just a bit more time, he would definitely break through from the post-Innate Martial Artist to enter the Innate Realm.

Because he had a third-level Demon Beast’s Demon Core.

Others might not know the use of a Demon Core, but he did; he had obtained a Taoist Cultivation Method, which clearly stated that by refining Demon Cores with some Spiritual Medicines, a cultivator could greatly advance.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that the Demon Core mentioned in the Taoist Cultivation Method and the one he had obtained were entirely different things.

What he had could only be considered a demon nucleus; a hundred demon nuclei couldn’t compare to a real Demon Core.

Just then, his phone rang.

Nian Jinqing rushed to the phone and grabbed it.

This was his private cultivation spot, unknown to anyone else. Normally, except for very important matters, he wouldn’t receive any calls.

A call now meant something significant.

"Chairman, a Demon Core has appeared in the Tongmao Mall shop. According to the assistant, it’s very likely a fourth-level Demon Core..."

The voice of Wang Qi, who oversaw all the Beast King Group stores in Pu Hai, came through the phone.

"What?" Even Nian Jinqing, normally composed, was startled by this news.

He had put much effort into recently obtaining a third-level Fierce Beast’s Demon Core.

And now, so soon, a fourth-level Fierce Beast’s Demon Core had appeared. Fate was truly helping him, Nian Jinqing.

"Secure it immediately," Nian Jinqing said without hesitation.

"He wants a billion..." Wang Qi said.

Nian Jinqing frowned slightly; in fact, he knew well that if it indeed were a fourth-level Fierce Beast’s Demon Core, a billion was a fair price.

But in this chaotic period, how could his Beast King Group possibly spend a billion on a must-have Demon Core?

"How was the Demon Core obtained?" Nian Jinqing immediately asked.

"Apparently, it was taken from a Fierce Beast that was injured by a shell, so it seems to be a matter of luck.

The person who brought it in is quite young, possibly a member of a Fierce Beast hunting team. He wore a mask and sunglasses, seemingly not wanting to be recognized..."

Wang Qi did not hide any details about Ding Huan’s situation.
