NOVPUBChapter 813: Chapter 552: Arrival of the Half-Step Grandmaster_2 Chapter 813 -552: Arrival of the Half-Step Grandmaster_2 With Fred in action, he should have been able to persuade the other party to come to Hua Country quickly.
Yang Xuan and Liang Bing were in charge of the club鈥檚 affairs, along with Zhang Dongdong, so Chu Mo didn鈥檛 need to worry at all; what really needed his attention were the matters of Capital City. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
The key to Capital City lay with the Guangsha Bodyguard Company, whose chairman, Fang Nianhan, wasn鈥檛 satisfied with the status quo and had been making moves frequently.
Naturally, Chu Mo couldn鈥檛 just let her be.
Chu Mo planned to reassign someone to Capital City to balance Fang Nianhan鈥檚 power and ensure she didn鈥檛 solely dictate the company鈥檚 affairs.
His choice for this was Wu Kunpeng, the headmaster of the Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy in Dali City.
As a half-step Grandmaster, Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 strength was sufficiently formidable.
...
He had managed to start from scratch and build a martial arts academy on his own.
He also had enough brains and schemes, and the decline of the Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy wasn鈥檛 significantly related to him.
This was because the Great Grandmasters kept their doors closed and the martial arts industry had completely declined.
The overall environment was to blame, not any individual鈥檚 mistakes.
Chu Mo believed that Wu Kunpeng certainly had the strength and means to deal with a minor Fang Nianhan, even with the powerful Fang family of the Capital City behind her.
But behind Wu Kunpeng was the Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy, which from now on, would provide a steady stream of outstanding talent to the Guangsha Bodyguard Company every year.
Naturally, all these people were Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 followers.

With Chu Mo鈥檚 support, Fang Nianhan wouldn鈥檛 be as bold as she currently was.
However, the premise for all this to happen was that Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 daughter should become the disciple of a Great Grandmaster.
This would have been an extremely difficult task, given that the Great Grandmaster Lei Ting had clearly stated he wouldn鈥檛 accept disciples, and Chu Mo had no right to command the elder Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan.
However, thankfully, the appearance of Qin Lan completely changed the situation.
Once Great Grandmaster Qin Lan agreed to take a disciple, Chu Mo immediately contacted Wu Kunpeng and his daughter in Dali City.
Upon receiving the notice, the other party indicated they would depart for Magic Capital immediately.
Magic Capital was already giving off a hot feeling in the middle of June,
At four fifty in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky.
Dressed in casual clothing, Chu Mo stepped out of the villa hall and walked up to the front gate, looking out where two luxury cars were slowly approaching.
Wu Kunpeng and his daughter Wu Youyou had arrived in Magic Capital, and naturally, as the host, Chu Mo had to show his hospitality.
He dispatched someone to the airport to pick up the father and daughter and even personally came to the gate to greet them.
Such treatment was not something the average person could enjoy.
Standing beside Chu Mo were the Great Grandmaster Lei Ting and Qin Lan, one on each side, and following them were several half-step Grandmasters positioned around.
Among them were the captain of the bodyguard team, Fan Gao; the head of the detective agency, Jiang Tao; the only granddaughter of the elderly Great Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan and the chairman of the Star Science and Technology Collective, Jiang Rourou; and Chen Yue, the head coach of the Twelve Golden Phoenixes of the Liu family from Zhongzhou.
Behind the four half-step Grandmasters stood thirty first-class experts with A-level strength.
To welcome Wu Kunpeng from Dali City, Chu Mo had almost shown his entire hand, and the reason for such a grand reception ceremony wasn鈥檛 just because of Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 strength as a half-step Grandmaster and the constant flow of graduates from the Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy behind him.
There was another very important reason.
Wu Kunpeng had already contacted that mysterious person behind him who agreed to supply Chu Mo with Spirit Rhyme Tea for a price of 140 million per pound.
The originally negotiated price for Spirit Rhyme Tea was 150 million, but due to Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 influence, the final transaction price was set at 140 million.
Chu Mo likewise did not hesitate to act.
He purchased five pounds in one go, paying a total of seven billion.
Of course, it wasn鈥檛 that Chu Mo had to drink Spirit Rhyme Tea; he bought so much in one go not because he particularly enjoyed it, but because he wanted to test the strength of this channel.
The outcome also surprised Chu Mo.
The deal for five pounds of Spirit Rhyme Tea was agreed upon readily.
And it wasn鈥檛 merely five pounds of Spirit Rhyme Tea this represented; it reflected many other issues.
Firstly, the Spirit Rhyme Tea that had been controlled by the eight major families wasn鈥檛 as precious and rare as advertised; otherwise, there wouldn鈥檛 just suddenly be an endless supply of it on the market.
Secondly, the channel controlled by Wu Kunpeng was extraordinary.
Since they could supply five pounds of Spirit Rhyme Tea without hesitation, as long as the price was right, it was believed that other top-tier treasures would also be within their capability to deliver.
Such words meant that many of the issues which had previously given Chu Mo trouble would now be easily resolved.
For example, the carmine rice valued at several hundred thousand.
This top-level rice, even the eight major families had only a few jins of quota each year.
Chu Mo loved to eat it but couldn鈥檛 buy it with money.
Yet here, through this channel, as long as he was willing to spend, he could enjoy these top-level treasures.
Besides the Spirit Rhyme Tea and carmine rice, there were many other rare delicacies in the world waiting for his tasting.
It was precisely because he valued this channel that Chu Mo made such a grand gesture to welcome Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 arrival.
Otherwise, even if Wu Kunpeng was a half-step Grandmaster, he wouldn鈥檛 have received such a solemn reception from Chu Mo.
The two luxury cars in the distance finally slowly arrived at the gate, and as the car doors opened, the first to exit was three young and robust youths.
One tall man approached the Bentley in front and respectfully opened the door.
Next, a tall and burly man slowly stepped out of the car.
Chu Mo鈥檚 gaze swept over the young man opposite.
He recognized this person; it was the same man who had taken the initiative to spar with Lei Ting last time at the Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy in Dali City.
The young man of the same age as Chu Mo named Duanmu Fu was one of the three personal disciples of the half-step Grandmaster Wu Kunpeng.
His strength had reached mid-level A-grade芒鈧€漚 very excellent young man who, given time and under Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 guidance, had a great chance to make a further step and achieve the accomplishment of a half-step Grandmaster.
In addition to Duanmu Fu, the other two tall youths were also personal disciples of Wu Kunpeng.
Both men had studied the Golden Bell Shield with Wu Kunpeng, and so their builds were very burly; one was at mid-level B-grade, and the other at upper B-grade, they could also be considered young talents.
Standing beside Wu Kunpeng, other than Duanmu Fu, was a young woman with shoulder-length hair.
The girl appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, standing tall and slender like a lily, exuding a sense of purity and beauty.
At that moment, the girl stared curiously at Lei Ting beside Chu Mo, her eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
Naturally, this newly adult girl was Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 only daughter, Wu Youyou.
Although she was young, with the careful instruction of her half-step Grandmaster father, she had already reached the pinnacle of B-grade strength and was just one step away from A-grade.
However, this time, as Chu Mo observed the girl, he noticed her steps were lighter and her entire demeanor seemed to carry a faint ethereal quality.
Although Chu Mo had no martial strength, seeing the contented look on Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 face, he already had a hunch.
This young girl, having possibly made a breakthrough after her last encounter with the Great Grandmaster Lei Ting, should now possess A-grade strength.
An eighteen-year-old A-grade expert was unquestionably a genius, no matter where she was.
鈥淢r.
Chu, you still look as distinguished as ever, even after a few days!鈥
Wu Kunpeng, smiling, was the first to step forward.
When he came before Chu Mo, his face was filled with gratitude and respect.
Chu Mo had persuaded a real Great Grandmaster to take his daughter as a disciple, an opportunity he would never forget.
It was known that in the whole of Hua Country, there were only seven Great Grandmasters, and among them, only one took disciples.
And for his daughter to become a disciple of a Great Grandmaster, such an opportunity was unique in the entire Hua Country.
Wu Kunpeng鈥檚 face was full of gratitude, and at that moment, Chu Mo looked at Wu Youyou, who was staring straight at the Great Grandmaster Lei Ting and couldn鈥檛 help but slightly curl his lips upward.
He wondered what her expression would be when she found out her own master was merely a little girl of eleven or twelve.
