e was nearing its end. The battlefield resembled a human hell, with limbs scattered everywhere, corpses littering the ground, and blood staining half the sky red.A young man in plain clothes, wielding...>

"Sister Rose!" Upon seeing the woman, Black Leopard and his men simultaneously bowed, greeting her with utmost respect.

"Excuse me, the three of you. The people below are not well-mannered, please forgive them." Rose looked at Ling Hao for a moment and then smiled gently.

She was slightly surprised. She couldn't sense the aura of any of the three people. Could they all be stronger than her

Moreover, considering herself well-versed in the ways of the world, she sensed an unprecedentedly powerful aura emanating from Ling Hao. This aura surpassed that of all the prominent figures she had encountered before!

"Are you the Rose" Ling Hao spoke in a calm voice.

"It's me, indeed!" Rosa smiled again. "If the three of you don't mind, why not come upstairs for a sit"

"Okay!" Ling Hao nodded.

The hall was already crowded with people, and he didn't want to talk there.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at a ballroom on the sixth floor.

Ling Hao took his seat. The Judge and Xuan Pang stood on either side of him, this was a matter of etiquette, but also to prevent any sudden incidents from happening, so that the two could be at the forefront to protect Ling Hao at the first moment.

On the other side, Rose sat down on the sofa opposite Ling Hao. Black Panther and the old man stood behind her.

"Excuse me, sir, may I ask your name" Rose asked after a waiter had poured tea for the two of them.

"My last name is Ling!" Ling Hao said calmly.

"So it's Young Master Ling." Rose raised her teacup and took a sip. "I wonder what brings Young Master Ling to see me"

"You should be able to tell me, where did Shen Le go" Ling Hao said.

"Huh" At his words, the pupils of all three Roses shrank slightly.

After calming herself slightly, Rose spoke again.

"I'm afraid I don't quite understand, Young Master Ling. How could you possibly be asking about the whereabouts of someone as important as Mr. Shen"

“He’s gone missing!” Ling Hao took a sip of tea and continued, “He’s my friend. If something happened to him, the consequences would be severe!”

"Mr. Shen is missing" Rosa's face was filled with surprise.

After finishing her tea, she continued, "Young Master Ling, I'm truly sorry, but this question is one that I can't answer."

“Mr. Shen was indeed dining at my shop last night, and I even toasted him a glass of wine, but after that, I have no idea what happened. He...”

"Are you really unwilling to say" Ling Hao's voice turned cold: "I advise you, it's best not to cause trouble for yourself, because you can't afford the consequences."

"How do you speak" Black Panther frowned, pointing at Ling Hao and speaking in a low voice.

"If you point at me again, don't even think about it!" The judge frowned.

"Behave yourselves! Do you think this is some kind of den" Black Panther retracted his fingers and continued in a low voice.

"Mr. Shen is a living person, he's disappeared. How are we supposed to know where he went If you're looking for someone, you should go to the police station. Don't waste our time coming here."

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, the Judge swept out a gust of wind, sending the Black Panther flying. A streak of blood flowed from his corner of the mouth.

Ouch!

The rose and the old man both gasped in unison. The two of them were now certain, the judge's strength was definitely above theirs.

"My elder brother is speaking to your master, when was it your turn to butt in!" The judge glared coldly at the black panther: "If there's another time, I'll cut off one of your arms!"

"You're looking for death!" The Black Panther was obviously not so easy to subdue. After getting up, he charged towards the Judge.

"Black Panther, stop!" Rosa shouted.

The other party's skills are even beyond hers. Black Panther rushing up would only be looking for a beating.

"Can we say it" Ling Hao continued to look at Rose. "My patience is limited, you better decide quickly."

Whew!

The rose exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and took another sip of tea.

"I truly don't know where Mr. Shen went. I haven't seen him since I toasted him last night."

But last night, another group of people were also eating here. If Mr. Shen really had an accident, it might be related to them.

Moreover, someone broke into the hotel's surveillance room last night and deleted all the surveillance data from the past few days. It should also have been done by their people.

"Who is it" Ling Hao frowned slightly.

"People from the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce!" Rose took a deep breath and continued.

As far as I know, the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce has been trying to get Mr. Shen to join them, but Mr. Shen doesn't seem interested and has refused their invitations several times. They have also had quite a few conflicts before this.

"The Jianghai Chamber of Commerce" Ling Hao was slightly taken aback. "What's its background"

"The Jianghai Merchants' Association is an organization established half a year ago by the prominent families of Jianghai, aiming to control the entire commercial market of Jianghai." Rose paused for a moment before continuing.

Not long ago, they also sent people to find me, but I didn't agree. Because of this, they are very upset with me too.

"Who initiated the Jiang Hai Four Great Families' gathering" the judge asked.

"On the surface, it does seem like the four of them are making a move, but if I'm not mistaken, there should be someone else behind this." Rose responded again.

"The Xue clan" the judge continued.

"Hmm!" Rosa nodded.

"Last night, who was the leader of that group Where can I find them" Ling Hao spoke after putting down his teacup.

"I wonder if Shao Ling has ever heard of the Buddha of Jianghai" Rose asked.

"The head of the underground forces in Jiang Hai, Buddha Lord" The judge's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean he is also a member of the Jiang Hai Chamber of Commerce"

"Yes!" Rosa nodded again. "Everything in the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce's gray areas is handled by Buddha."

"Last night, a group of people led by a man named Huascorpion, Buddha's right-hand man, kidnapped Mr. Shen. It's highly likely that he was the one who did it."

"What is your relationship with the Buddha" Ling Hao asked.

"As a competitor, I have several businesses involved in entertainment venues, so there are occasional conflicts with them." Rose continued to respond.

The Jianghai Chamber of Commerce wants me to join, actually they just want me to belong to Buddha!

"I hope you didn't lie to me!" Ling Hao said, then turned to the judge, "Immediately have someone bring Hua Xiao out!"

"Received!" The judge nodded and pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Young Ling!" Rose spoke in a hesitant tone.

Whether it's the Buddha or the Jiang Hai Merchant Association, they can command power in Jiang Hai. They even have a level of influence that can be described as "ruling with an iron fist".

Moreover, the Buddha not only possesses formidable strength himself but also commands a vast array of extraordinary individuals. If you were to seek them out in this manner, I fear...

Bang!

Before the rose could finish speaking, the ballroom doors were burst open.

Two figures then flew in, collapsed to the ground, twitched a couple of times and then fainted.

"Hmm!" A flash of ferocity crossed Rosa's eyes, and she stood up directly.

The elderly man behind her and the Black Panther both strode out quickly, their expressions tense as they stared at the doorway.nervously."Heh heh, yes, when the time comes, Young Master Jie mustn't forget to come and cheer us on!" Liu Jiayao responded with a smile."Absolutely!" the young master nodded vigorously. "I'll go str...
