Miraculous Doctor in Flower City

Chapter 448 448

The next morning, at dawn, with the mist yet to fully dissipate, Liu Sanming was already standing in front of the Zhuo Family's villa gate.

The entire villa was built against the mountain, with black tiles and white walls, majestic and grand, resembling a giant beast crouching in the mountains.

Liu Sanming looked up, a hint of deeper meaning flashing in his eyes.

Someone like Zhuo Tianming seems to be infinitely glamorous, but in reality, has been forced to the edge of a cliff by the internal power struggle within the family.

He survived until now not because of strength, but luck.

And now, this luck seems to be completely exhausted by the parasites.

Liu Sanming had just walked into the villa when a slight sound of footsteps came from the second floor.

Zhuo Tianming stood by the railing, looking down at him.

His eyes first flashed a coldness, scrutinizing the visitor like a venomous snake, but in just a moment, he restrained all his sharpness and replaced it with an extremely gentle smile.

"Brother Liu is here."

His voice carried a deliberately warm tone, yet still couldn't hide the vigilance in his heart.

Liu Sanming looked up and also revealed a polite smile.

But the smile did not reach his eyes.

He never liked people like Zhuo Tianming, but he knew that for a long time in the future, cooperation between the two was inevitable.

If that's the case, the surface work must be done well.

The two sat down in the first-floor living room. Zhuo Tianming clapped his hands, and his tall, coldly elegant secretary immediately came over and served them hot tea.

The fragrance of tea lingered, steam rising, but couldn't dissipate the subtle tension in the living room.

Zhuo Tianming picked up the teacup, handed it to Liu Sanming, his tone sincere: "Thank you, Brother Liu, for specially coming today to solve the parasite problem for me. Please be sure to cure me."

Liu Sanming smiled gently, his tone unhurried: "Of course, I will certainly cure this for Young Master Zhuo. However, some of the elixirs I use are not cheap. As you know, nothing good comes for free, I too require some compensation."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Tianming immediately laughed: "My Zhuo Family is not short of money, this small matter, just name your price."

For survival, he was ready for a huge payout.

But Liu Sanming's next words caused his smile to freeze suddenly.

"The price of these elixirs cannot be measured by market prices."

Liu Sanming spoke slowly, "Many of them are lost and cannot be bought with money. So... I don't want money."

Zhuo Tianming raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want?"

Liu Sanming put down the teacup, his voice steady yet carrying an undeniable force: "I want a stake in all Zhuo Family's future assets in Sea City."

The living room instantly fell silent.

Zhuo Tianming's face turned gloomy, a chill flashing in his eyes: "What are you thinking? Are you too greedy?"

Liu Sanming just smiled, that smile carried a faint mockery: "I can refuse... but can Young Master Zhuo refuse to live?"

With just one sentence, Zhuo Tianming's heart shuddered severely.

He was silent.

Only the sound of air moving remained in the living room.

He wasn't stupid.

He knew better than anyone that the internal battle among the Zhuo family's siblings had reached a fever pitch. If he fell, countless people would immediately pounce, dividing his position, resources, and even everything his mother left behind.

If he died, he was nothing.

Alive, he had the right to negotiate interests.

Zhuo Tianming took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, his voice low and cold: "What you want, I can give you. But specifically how much, and how to give it... It's not something I can decide alone, we have to discuss it slowly."

Liu Sanming nodded: "Alright."

In the following hour, the two engaged in a deep negotiation around interests, power, and future layout.

Every sentence hid contention, every condition was repeatedly weighed.

Ultimately, Zhuo Tianming gritted his teeth and agreed to assign 15% of the future assets in Sea City to Liu Sanming.

But he also set conditions—Liu Sanming must prove his value.

And the first value is to make him the king of Sea City.

Liu Sanming listened and revealed a meaningful smile.

"I accept this demand."

He is now the leader of the Divine Origin Association, holding power capable of sweeping through Sea City's underworld.

Combined with Joyful Buddha's legacy, his strength long surpassed the imagination of these mundane forces.

To make Zhuo Tianming the king of Sea City is not difficult.

Indeed... this is just the first step in his plan.

The two continued to discuss specific action plans, from integrating forces, mobilizing resources, to step-by-step eroding other families' territories, subduing those unsupportive of the Zhuo family, to establishing a legitimate business empire on the surface...

Every detail gradually became clear in their conversations.

The sky outside brightened, sunlight poured into the living room, shining on their faces.

One is the ambitious Young Master of the Zhuo Family, the other an inheritor preparing to rise in the dark world.

Their shadows intertwined on the ground, like two venomous snakes beginning to entangle and coil.

In the future, Sea City is destined for upheaval.

And all this is just beginning.
