Urban Immortal Lord

"Daughter, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Xia, whom I mentioned to you on the phone. He's the one who cured your sister's strange illness," Hu Liguo said hurriedly upon seeing Hu Jiaxin arrive.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaxin looked towards Xia Tian's location, but after a moment, she looked away.

She really couldn't understand what was so special about this ordinary-looking boy in front of her, who looked no more than eighteen years old and had slightly dark skin. Although he was quite good-looking, her father and mother praised him so highly that they even called to urge her to return to M City from Jinghai City.

"Hello, my name is Hu Jiaxin." Out of politeness, Hu Jiaxin greeted Xia Tian in a nonchalant manner, then casually found a seat and said, "I heard that Mr. Xia asked me to come here because he wants to buy jade from me?"

"Jiaxin, don't be rude!" Hu Liguo scolded his daughter when she ignored his instructions on the phone.

Hu Liguo was hoping to establish a strong connection with Xia Tian through this relationship. However, if his daughter's attitude offended the young man in front of him, the consequences would be severe.

Because Xia Tian had previously instructed that her identity should not be revealed to outsiders, Hu Liguo did not dare to directly disclose Xia Tian's identity to his daughter. He only instructed Hu Jiaxin to be especially respectful and not to offend her.

"My dear niece, Mr. Xia is our honored guest. Please be mindful of your words and actions." At this moment, Zhao Wentao said in a deep voice, his face filled with displeasure.

At this moment, Xia Tian looked at Hu Jiaxin and said calmly, "It's alright, you two don't need to worry about such a small matter. I took the liberty of inviting you here today because of the jade."

Seeing that Xia Tian showed no displeasure, Hu Liguo and the other man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's more like it," Hu Jiaxin said. "I wonder how much jade Mr. Xia needs?"

Before coming here, Hu Jiaxin was extremely indignant. You see, she had just taken the last flight from Jinghai City to W City Airport after more than two hours of flying, and then drove back to M City from the airport. She had just wanted to get a good night's sleep after such a long journey, but she was woken up by a phone call, which ordered her to come to the Shengshi Dihao Club immediately to meet a big shot.

"It should be no less than ten thousand yuan," Xia Tian said after a moment's hesitation.

In the summer, he estimated that if he were to set up a small spirit-gathering array on that piece of land in the western suburbs of M City, he would need no less than five thousand pieces of jade. In addition, since he also needed to cultivate, he would need no less than ten thousand pieces of jade.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaxin showed an incredulous expression, scrutinizing Xia Tian as if he were a fool, before saying, "Mr. Xia, you must be joking. Do you know how much a piece of jade costs? Even a piece of jade of average quality starts at at least ten thousand. The quantity you want, you simply can't buy without a hundred million."

After speaking, Hu Jiaxin reached into her shoulder bag and took out three crystal-clear jade stones, placing them on the dining table. These three jade stones were about the same size as pebbles and looked very exquisite.

Seeing this, Xia Tian looked at the three pieces of jade, shook his head, and said, "I don't want this kind, but the kind your sister is wearing."

He had just secretly activated his divine sense to sense the three pieces of jade and found that there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy inside them, so they were worthless to him.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaxin's expression flashed with displeasure, and she immediately said, "The amber my sister is wearing around her neck is no different from the ones I brought. Please, Mr. Xia, do not make things difficult for me or fabricate something out of nothing."

Seeing this, Xia Tian suddenly realized that Hu Jiaxin was just an ordinary person and would never know whether there were spiritual fluctuations in these seemingly indistinguishable jade stones.

Having figured out this relationship, Xia Tian had already made up her mind.

After a pause, Xia Tian said, "I wonder if Miss Hu has time now? I'd like to go to Jinghai City to personally select the jade I need from your shop."

Hu Jiaxin wanted to say she didn't have time, but seeing Hu Liguo's face gradually darken and his eyes almost pop out of their sockets as he stared at her, she couldn't help but give in and nodded to Xia Tian, ​​saying, "I do have time. I wonder when Mr. Xia plans to depart."

"Now would be best!" Xia Tian said immediately.

Seeing this, Hu Jiaxin couldn't help but say, "Now? I'm afraid you can't even book a plane ticket now, are you sure?"

Without hesitation, Xia Tian replied, "I'll take care of the plane tickets. You just need to confirm whether we can leave today."

"Alright then." Hu Jiaxin nodded helplessly in agreement, and then said, "If I may be so bold as to remind you, Mr. Xia, you'd better have enough funds prepared. Although I don't know why my dad and Uncle Zhao respect you so much, business is business, and I can only give you a 20% discount at most."

"You don't need to worry about the money, I have my own plans," Xia Tian said calmly, shaking his head.

Next, the two discussed some details, and then Hu Jiaxin went home to prepare for the trip. Hu Liguo and Zhao Wentao did not stay any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xia Tian, ​​they also turned and left.

Inside the private room, only Xia Tian remained. At this moment, Bald Qiang and Huang Biao hurriedly walked over to Xia Tian and stood respectfully behind him.

"Bald Qiang, go check if there are any flights from W City to M City this afternoon," Xia Tian instructed. "Huang Biao, go prepare a bank card for me and transfer one billion yuan into it."

Upon hearing this, the two quickly complied and left to prepare for the tasks Xia Tian had instructed them to undertake.

Soon, the two returned to the private room.

"Master Xia, Xiao Qiang just checked. All flights from W City to Jinghai City today are fully booked. The earliest flight is around 8 a.m. tomorrow," said Bald Qiang.

"Master Xia, this is a Swiss bank card prepared for you. It contains one billion dollars, which can be transferred in and out at any time. There is no password set yet." Huang Biao respectfully raised both hands and handed the bank card to Xia Tian.

After a while, the two quickly arrived at the private room, followed by a woman, who was none other than Du Kexin.

Du Kexin first gave Xia Tian a standard military salute, and then respectfully asked, "What are your instructions, Director Xia?"

Before leaving, Qiu Guohong specifically instructed Du Kexin to stay in M ​​City and follow Xia Tian's side, and to strictly obey Xia Tian's orders.

Seeing this, Xia Tian couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Just call me by my name from now on. I wanted to ask you, does your special department have any special privileges?"

Upon hearing this, Du Kexin asked, "Mr. Xia... what aspect are you referring to?"

Seeing this, Xia Tian said, "I'm planning to go to Jinghai City today, but all the tickets are sold out. Do you have any way to get two tickets?"

Du Kexin breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "I'll take care of this. Mr. Xia, what time do you need your flight?"

Xia Tian then briefly recounted what had just happened to Du Kexin, and told her the flight time and departure time to the airport. Only then did Du Kexin leave the private room at a leisurely pace.

With this matter settled, Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He had already lit a cigarette that Bald Qiang had handed him at some point, leaned back on the comfortable sofa, and waited for the time to depart, his eyes filled with anticipation.
