I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 113: Yue Clan (I)

The sky had turned slightly bright.

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the gloomy darkness, revealing the appearance of East Lake City after the air raid.

“Screech!”

A white-feathered bird flapped its wings and streaked across the sky, swooping down.

After passing through the charred and collapsed houses, the bird slowed down and landed on the ground of a square.

At this moment, the square was empty. The people who usually did their morning training had disappeared, but the birds still maintained their usual habits and came here at this time to wait for the bird lovers to feed them.

Chen Yiming walked slowly towards the company, witnessing the aftermath of the battle in East Lake City.

A factory that provided the livelihood of more than 1000 people, and gradually expanded over the past few years or even more than a decade, was swept by the aftershocks of the battle between warriors and turned into scorched earth.

There was a building that was 30 to 40 stories tall, and dozens of companies were located inside of it. It had now turned into a pile of rubble. Broken steel bars were all that were left standing.

The fires had already been extinguished. It was unknown if they had been extinguished by firefighters or if they had burned to a point where there was nothing left to burn. The scars left behind could not be healed so easily.

“Hmm?”

An old man’s actions caught Chen Yiming’s attention and he slowed down.

“Swish!”

The sound of rushing wind rang out.

The old man waved a bamboo net at the birds that were jumping back and forth in the square.

The net was nearly a meter wide, and the birds were startled and immediately flew into the air. However, their usual habit of waiting to be fed made them slow to react.

“Clang!”

The net hit the concrete floor, and three birds that could not dodge in time were trapped inside. They struggled hard but were stopped by the net.

“You’re the ones who killed my 10 year old grandson,” the old man cursed.

The scolding lasted for nearly a minute. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and walked up to crush the birds that were trapped in the net to death.

Yesterday, this old man was a bird lover. Not only did he like to come to the square every day to feed them, but he also raised several birds of different colors in his house.

At this moment, the white-feathered bird that was flying in the air witnessed the tragic death of its companion. It circled a few times before leaving. The old man cursed at the bird that had flown away and walked towards the next square.

…

The Yiming Detective Agency was located on a commercial street in the city center. This place was naturally protected by the various martial arts factions, so it was not affected by the attacks of the flying mutant beasts.

The moment he entered, Chen Yiming saw Wei Chaoyuan waiting on the sofa. For some reason, Shi Changyi had yet to arrive.

“Where’s Shi Changyi?” Chen Yiming asked as he sat down.

“We still can’t use the phones. We couldn’t find him for the time being,” Wei Chaoyuan replied.

The flying mutant beasts that were three to four meters long were under orders to destroy everything, so a large number of signal towers were destroyed.

In the entire city, other than the special phone lines, one could only use the most primitive methods to contact others.

“Boss, I just calculated the company’s losses last night. Should I report it to you now?” Wei Chaoyuan asked.

“Tell me.”

“During the air raid yesterday, eight out of the company’s 54 employees died in an accident. These eight people included six detectives and two front desk employees.” Wei Chaoyuan first reported the loss of personnel, followed by the loss of fixed assets. “Of the 13 strongholds in the city that the company secretly bought, eight were completely destroyed. The direct financial loss was in the tens of millions.”

“So little?” Chen Yiming asked.

“The company has just started. Otherwise, the losses would be immeasurable,” Wei Chaoyuan replied with a nod.

For those at the level of the third transformation, a loss in the tens of millions of yuan might make their hearts ache. For those at the level of the sixth transformation, it was still not a small sum of money.

However, for Chen Yiming, who was already a warrior candidate on the surface, he could earn back the money in no time.

“When Shi Changyi comes, tell him what I said. One detective agency is far from enough. I need you to recruit more people.

We should get started as soon as possible to create security companies, transportation companies, trading companies dealing with materials related to mutant beasts, and so on. You don’t have to start from zero. Just use my name to buy over the relevant companies,” Chen Yiming instructed with a serious expression.

“Boss, aren’t we taking too big a step? Where will we find so much money?” Wei Chaoyuan asked worriedly as sweat broke out on his forehead.

“Yesterday, the head of the school gathered all the core disciples. I have a high chance of becoming the next head,” Chen Yiming said.

Although he did not intend to accept the arranged marriage laid out by his master, as long as the school did not have a clear successor, the outside world would definitely think there was a high chance of him becoming the next head.

After all, Chen Yiming had broken through to the realm of a warrior candidate in less than a year on the surface. He was more talented than the previous successor, Lin Yixuan.

The other core disciples, including Wang Bowen, did not have any hope of breaking through to the warrior realm for the time being.

He looked at the stunned Wei Chaoyuan and continued, “We can temporarily merge with some companies that we can’t buy. In any case, let’s set up the framework for the corporation as soon as possible.”

“Alright, Boss, don’t worry. Leave this to me.” Wei Chaoyuan patted his chest and promised, his eyes burning with excitement.

The nature of society was that the strong preyed on the weak. The higher Chen Yiming’s status was, the more Wei Chaoyuan could use his name to do whatever he wanted.

Generally, small factions without any backing would either be annexed or controlled if they were targeted by a stronger faction.

After giving out his instructions, Chen Yiming stood up and prepared to leave.

He did not need to deal with any of the specifics. What he needed to do was to constantly increase his strength.

“Creak!”

The door was pushed open and Shi Changyi rushed in.

As soon as he entered and saw Chen Yiming, Shi Changyi said, “Boss, I was just about to look for you. I have some big news to report.”

“Let’s hear it.” Chen Yiming sat down again.

After Shi Changyi walked over and sat down, he looked around and confirmed that there were only the three of them in the company. It was not close to their operating hours yet, so not a single ordinary employee was present. He said in a low voice, “The Yue clan might be wiped out.”

“Continue.” Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up.

The Yue clan was one of the seven great warrior clans with a warrior presiding over it. By taking advantage of the situation, he might be able to find a way to continue his cultivation after the warrior realm.

“It’s said that when the bird-type mutant beasts attacked the city, the head of the Yue clan, who was in the warrior realm, happened to be out on an errand. Yue Jingtian insisted on guarding the clan and repeatedly refused the military’s orders,” Shi Changyi replied.

“Didn’t Yue Jingtian just make a name for himself during the war in the west? How could he have made such a mistake?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.

“It’s said that Yue Jingtian was already extremely close to breaking through to the warrior realm, so he didn’t want to get involved in any incidents at this critical moment,” Shi Changyi explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, he added, “At that time, the humans were fully prepared for the war in the west. The situation was different from the surprise attack this time.”
