Chapter 164: Chapter 164 The Show Begins
Facts hold the greatest persuasive power.
Yang Jian’s Ghost Eye manifested before everyone, which was the best proof.
President Qin, who had previously looked disdainful, now had his face frozen, staring intently at the eye on Yang Jian’s forehead, while President Qian, who had been enjoying the show, also slightly widened his eyes.
“What’s this?” Zhang Xiangu was clearly startled as well.
Zhang Wei curled his lip and whispered, “Brother Tui is about to blow his top, those two old geezers actually looked down on Brother Tui. The level of horror that thing possesses has already exceeded human imagination. I’m a man who came out alive from that school, Dad, you really should take a good look at some things.”
Take a good look at that ghost which induces despair and horror.
“It seems he’s got some skills,” Zhang Xiangu thought to himself, growing more expectant.
“Is that eye of yours real?”
President Qin pointed at the Ghost Eye and asked earnestly, “It’s not just stuck on, is it?”
“President Qin, rather than worry about my eye, you should pay attention to your surroundings to see if anything has changed. I just wanted you two to see the truth of this sales department, in fact, it’s been haunted already, you just haven’t noticed yet,” Yang Jian pointed at his sofa.
President Qin’s hand, which was resting on the sofa, suddenly felt something sticky.
He was slightly startled and turned to look.
Somehow, the sofa he was sitting on was smeared with fresh blood.
“Damn it, what’s going on?” He stood up in shock.
At that moment, President Qin saw that it wasn’t just the sofa, but also the floor, walls, and even the ceiling that were covered with ferocious bloodstains, which weren’t dry yet, as if they had just occurred. Even in his teacup, what was contained wasn’t tea.
But a thick blood.
“Drip, drip.”
Blood dripped down from the ceiling, landing on the bald head of President Qian next to him. He touched it, and his face instantly turned pale with fright, “Damn it, why didn’t you say it was haunted earlier? Quick, let’s get out of here.”
“President Qian, wait for me.” President Qin hastily grabbed his briefcase and scrambled out.
“What’s wrong with them? Why did they suddenly run away?”
Zhang Xiangu was stunned for a moment, seeing the two men running off as if they were crazy, he found it somewhat incomprehensible.
Yang Jian smiled and sat down on the sofa, “Because I let them see something quite frightening. It’s true that the sales department is haunted, but it should only be that ghost following Zhang Wei. That ghost couldn’t directly make these two presidents feel fear, so I added a little something to make them have some illusions.”
“After being scared and feeling fear, the next business negotiations will naturally be much easier.”
Zhang Xiangu was somewhat surprised, “You can do that?”
“Within the Ghost Domain, there’s nothing you can’t do,” Yang Jian said seriously.
“Like what?” Zhang Xiangu became more curious.
Yang Jian said, “Although I don’t want to say too much, it’s alright to talk about some things. Inside the Ghost Domain, not only can you make people have illusions, but you can also make ghosts have illusions. Here, what you think is real is real, what you think is fake is fake—like this cup, I can make it appear on the table or in your hand.”
After he finished speaking, the cup disappeared from the table and appeared in Zhang Xiangu’s hand the next moment.
“It can appear in the hand, as well as inside a person’s body,” Yang Jian suddenly grinned.
“Murder?” Zhang Xiangu jumped with fright.
Yang Jian said, “No, killing doesn’t need to be that complicated; that’s using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.”
Using the Ghost Domain to kill is overkill, purely a waste.
“The real purpose of the Ghost Domain is to trap other ghosts, not to deal with humans. No one uses a missile to swat a mosquito. To deal with humans, a gun will do.”
He slapped his hand on the table, and a handgun with a golden metallic luster appeared in front of him.
“You even have a gun, you’re not really from the International Ghost Tamers Organization, are you?” Zhang Xiangu was increasingly shocked.
Yang Jian said with surprise, “Uncle Zhang, did you really think I was talking nonsense before? Although I haven’t officially taken over yet, it’s a sure thing that I’ll be the next one in charge of Dachang City. Once I succeed, I will have the authority to mobilize all the security forces in the city. At that point, it won’t just be about locking down your villa, Uncle Zhang; blocking several neighborhoods or streets won’t be a problem either.”
Zhang Xiangu was at a loss for words.
He realized he had underestimated Yang Jian.
To think he was just a young man with some special skills, yet he turned out to be the future ruler of Dachang City.
That was no small status.
“Brother Tui wouldn’t be called Brother Tui if he didn’t have any skills,”
Zhang Wei said on the side; “Didn’t I tell you before, Dad, that I bought a gun from Brother Tui?”
After saying that, he felt his pocket and actually pulled out a Golden Desert Eagle.
“You little rascal, let me see that,” Zhang Xiangu said, hastily taking it into his own hands.
As soon as it was in his grasp,
the cold, heavy feel told him that this thing was real.
“You dare to buy something like this?” Zhang Xiangu scolded.
Yang Jian said, “No problem, let Zhang Wei keep it for self-defense. Uncle Zhang, if you need one, I can sell you one too. This thing is rare in our country, but abroad, I reckon there are more of these than kitchen knives at home. However, what I have here is specially made, not for use against people, but against ghosts.”
Zhang Xiangu’s expression kept changing; as a businessman, how could he dare deal with such things? It was illegal. If he were caught, he would have to go to jail, and his business would be over.
“So now… you want to use a supernatural incident to scare President Qin and President Qian into selling their properties to me cheaply?”
“That’s pretty much the idea.”
“Isn’t this a bit too underhanded?” Zhang Xiangu whispered, “These methods aren’t exactly honorable.”
Yang Jian said, “We’ve already taken action, isn’t it a bit late for Uncle Zhang to say this? You’d better spend this time preparing the contracts.”
“But they’ve all run off, how can you be sure they’ll agree?” Zhang Xiangu said.
“They can’t escape. Without my permission, they can’t even leave this room, and they are bound to agree. The despair and terror brought on by a fierce ghost aren’t something everyone can withstand. Uncle Zhang, you haven’t experienced a paranormal event, so you can’t understand, but Zhang Wei gets it,” Yang Jian said.
Zhang Wei nodded in deep agreement, “When you encounter that kind of thing, you’d do anything to survive, even if it means offering up your own chrysanthemum.”
“How long do you think it will take for them to agree?” Zhang Xiangu asked.
“Within half an hour, no one could endure that kind of despair,” Yang Jian said.
Zhang Xiangu immediately said, “Then I’ll go prepare the contract.”
Yang Jian said nothing more but slowly closed his eyes.
He needed to focus his energy on the Ghost Domain, manipulate it, and put on a horror show for the two presidents.
And they were the main characters.
Though the means were indeed unscrupulous,
which of the tycoons who did business worth billions could ensure their methods were clean? Zhang Wei’s father, Zhang Xiangu, couldn’t guarantee that either.
Rich from the poor, Yang Jian wouldn’t be soft-hearted.
Besides, he was only making the two presidents lose money, not taking their lives.
Moreover, paranormal incidents were already happening at this construction site. If Yang Jian didn’t solve it, once the events blew up, the value of the houses here would still be low, and the outcome would be even worse than selling at a low price.
Thinking of this,
Yang Jian couldn’t help but sigh to himself: he really was a good person, always devising plans for the sake of others.
