Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 821 -821 Banquet

Qin Hao noticed her frown and curiously asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The permit hasn’t been approved, what’s going on?” Shui Huilan’s brows were tightly knitted. Without the permit, her spaceship couldn’t leave the port.

This had never happened before. To promote commercial prosperity, the local authorities wouldn’t hinder these merchant caravans.

Qin Hao immediately thought of the Bai Family and the Du Family: “Could it be that the Bai Family and the Du Family are causing trouble?”

Shui Huilan shook her head: “They shouldn’t be able to interfere in this. Let me make a call to check.”

So she called a familiar contact in Jiangchuan City: “Hello Mr. Li, this is Shui Huilan. I want to ask about the issue with my convoy’s permit?”

A man’s voice came through the communicator: “Mr. Shui, let me check for you, please wait a moment.”

About a minute later, the man replied: “Mr. Shui, have you offended someone here? The Ji Family has blocked your permit.”

“The Ji Family? No, I don’t know anyone from their family. Mr. Li, can you help me? Money is not an issue,” Shui Huilan asked anxiously.

“Sorry, Mr. Shui, I can’t help with this. You know how powerful the Ji Family is.”

After hanging up, Shui Huilan looked at Qin Hao: “What should we do? The Ji Family is blocking our permit.”

Qin Hao said, “How about I go and talk to the Ji Family? If it doesn’t work, I’ll teach them a lesson.”

Shui Huilan’s forehead creased: “Let’s use this as a last resort and think of other solutions first.”

At this moment, Luna and Jiao Rou walked out of the room. Jiao Rou sweetly called out to Qin Hao, “Master.”

Qin Hao nodded slightly: “Just stay by my side from now on.”

Shui Huilan, Li Jiaqi, and the others were astonished upon seeing Jiao Rou. What a delicate and lovable beauty.

Do all Elf Clan women look this beautiful? It made other women envious and jealous.

Even Qin Hao felt a protective urge upon seeing her.

“How much did you pay at the auction?” Shui Huilan assumed Jiao Rou’s auction price was higher than Luna’s.

Because the area was more prosperous and had more wealthy competitors, and her delicate personality would particularly attract men.

“Fifteen billion.”

Shui Huilan and Li Jiaqi’s eyes widened: “How much? Fifteen billion? Are you crazy?”

Qin Hao smiled: “Such a beauty is priceless.”

Shui Huilan was speechless. Fifteen billion… Her cargo this time would earn at most three billion, and the round trip itself took six months.

Around five in the afternoon, Shui Huilan received an invitation to an evening banquet hosted by Jiangchuan Star’s leader Ji Feichao in Jiangchuan City. Many local families and visiting merchants were invited for a networking event.

The invitation listed both Shui Huilan and Qin Hao’s names.

Seeing this, Shui Huilan froze for a moment: “How do they know your name? This is an invitation from Ji Feichao!”

Qin Hao thought for a moment and replied, “They must have investigated my background. The leader of Jiangchuan Star was probably also at the auction in Jiangchuan Auction.”

Besides, Qin Hao had a good guess who Ji Feichao was—likely the person he had bid against at the auction.

Because who else would have the financial power and strength?

Shui Huilan looked at him: “Are you going to attend?”

Qin Hao: “Of course, I want to see what they are up to, and also to address the issue with your convoy’s permit.”

Shui Huilan nodded slightly. She thought the same. Without settling the permit issue, her convoy couldn’t leave.

After some preparations, Qin Hao told Li Jiaqi and Qingtao: “Wait for us on the spaceship. I’ll leave someone to protect you. This banquet might be dangerous; you shouldn’t come.”

Qingtao and Li Jiaqi nodded: “Yes, Master.”

A bit past six, Qin Hao, Shui Huilan, Luna, and Jiao Rou left the spaceship, accompanied by five men led by Leng Xuan.

They drove to the outskirts of Jiangchuan City, to Ji Feichao’s private estate where the banquet was held.

At the entrance, someone checked their invitations and said, “Sorry, sir and miss, private bodyguards are not allowed inside the estate.”

Qin Hao nodded to Leng Xuan and the others: “You can wait outside for us.”

He and the others walked in; Luna and Jiao Rou each held onto one of his arms.

Upon entering, they drew countless stares, as Luna and Jiao Rou were stunning, outshining every beauty present.

“Isn’t that the guy from the auction today? He’s here too.”

“Damn, flanked by two breathtaking beauties, that’s the life.”

“Aren’t these two from the Elf Clan? They look rather similar.”

“I’d be happy with just one of them.”

They soon arrived at the estate’s back garden, where multiple tables and seats were set with rare drinks and snacks.

With Luna and Jiao Rou by his side, Qin Hao looked like a sun in the night, dazzling everyone.

As soon as they entered, Ji Feichao spotted them and approached with a smile: “Welcome to tonight’s banquet, Mr. Shui, Mr. Qin.”

Shui Huilan was a bit apprehensive, as this was the leader of Jiangchuan Star: “Mr. Ji, you’re too kind. This is a business networking event; I would have come even without an invitation.”

Qin Hao nodded calmly, which made Ji Feichao slightly displeased. As the leader of a star and a prince of Xuanzhou Kingdom, what did a mere nod mean?

However, he didn’t show it: “Mr. Qin, your extravagance at the auction was quite the talk. Truly impressive.”

He glanced at Jiao Rou and Luna, feeling a tinge of jealousy.

Qin Hao was disdainful, thinking, as if I didn’t know you were the one in the private box? What hypocrisy: “Mr. Ji, you’re too kind. If there’s one thing I don’t lack, it’s money.”

Ji Feichao’s expression briefly changed but quickly returned to normal. Shui Huilan and others almost fainted upon hearing this.

Wow, flaunting wealth in front of Ji Feichao?

But Qin Hao had the means. Who else would spend fifteen billion on a slave girl?

The Family Heads of the Du Family and Bai Family were also there, having received invitations. They spotted Qin Hao at the entrance, their eyes gleaming.

Du Zhiyi was present too, his legs healed, though he could never forget the incident.

Seeing Qin Hao, his eyes showed a flash of malice. Noticing the two beauties beside him, he felt even more jealousy: “Brother, it’s him, he’s the one who beat me today.”

Du Zhixiu glanced over, his eyes gleaming: “I can’t believe he had the guts to come here.”
