NOVPUBChapter 988: Chapter 636 Power_2 Chapter 988 -636 Power_2 An A-level task worth a terrifying ten billion or more, Yang Xuan simply couldn鈥檛 understand how a small pill could be truly worth tens of billions.
However, she could only bury such doubts in her heart.
Since Chu Mo had already made a decision, she had no choice but to carry it out, not daring to raise even the slightest question.
鈥淢r.
Chu, please rest assured,鈥 she said with bowed head, 鈥渋n addition to posting the task at the club, we will also utilize the club鈥檚 connections and power to search for the Great Restoration Pill.
As soon as we have any clues, we will report them to you immediately!鈥
As Yang Xuan respectfully assured him with a bow, Chu Mo realized that Long Huan Yu, who had always followed by his side, had disappeared without a trace.
He looked around and soon discovered that the young master of the Long family was standing in front of a giant screen, which displayed the S-level tasks of the eight great families.
...
The task given to Long Huan Yu by the head of the Long family, Long Zhentian, was to accept this mission.
With a simple press of a button before him, his task would be considered complete.
Chu Mo slightly curled his lips.
The eight great families鈥 encirclement against him had ultimately failed, while he had equally used the Longevity Club as a breakthrough point to gradually disintegrate the alliance of the eight great families.
Just as Chu Mo was about to step forward, a stooped figure of an old man suddenly appeared by his side.
潡堭潣凁潟橉潣?co
The man鈥檚 face was full of wrinkles, his hair completely white, looking as though he might fall down at any moment.
The elderly man, who appeared to be at least in his eighties or nineties, slowly approached Chu Mo.
He first nodded to Chu Mo with a smile and then spoke in a hoarse voice:
鈥淢r.
Chu, thank you for your great generosity.
Without your permission, this old man fears he wouldn鈥檛 live to see the end of the year!鈥
The nearly hundred-year-old man鈥檚 cloudy eyes held a glint of wisdom as he gestured a toast to Chu Mo.
After taking a sip of red wine, he turned and left contentedly.
As Chu Mo watched the old man鈥檚 staggering departure with a slight frown, Liang Bing stepped forward and whispered in Chu Mo鈥檚 ear:
鈥淢r.
Chu, this is the Family Head of the Zhu family from Suzhou City!鈥
Seeing Chu Mo鈥檚 frown remain, Liang Bing explained earnestly:
鈥淢r.
Chu, a few days ago at the Trendy Bar, several spokespersons were present.
Dong Xun鈥檈r wanted to buy the Splendid Building in Suzhou City, which is owned by the Zhu family.
However, the Zhu family proposed joining the Longevity Club as a condition.
The Zhu family鈥檚 total assets are ninety billion, not quite reaching the threshold of a hundred billion, so they have always been barred from the club.
But because their assets are very close to the hundred-billion mark, they have never given up.
It was Mr.
Chu who agreed to lower the club membership threshold, allowing them to pay a high membership fee and join the club, thus enabling the Zhu family head to become a member of our club!鈥
Upon hearing Liang Bing鈥檚 explanation, Chu Mo recalled the gathering of several spokespersons he had arranged a few days ago.
At that time, Dong Xun鈥檈r did indeed request a family to be allowed into the club, for which Chu Mo had even asked the club to come up with a feasible plan.
Now that the Zhu family had joined the club, it seemed the club had perfected the scheme.
The lowered barriers to entry meant that more members would join the club, and these members would pay a sky-high membership fee, thus replenishing the club鈥檚 finances.
Looking at the staggering figure of the old man, Chu Mo knew that for people like the Family Head of the Zhu family, who were nearly at the end of their years, the allure of the Longevity Pill was immensely great.
For such individuals, no matter the cost, they would try by all means to join the club.
Chu Mo quickly averted his gaze, and once again started moving forward.
He then approached Long Huan Yu, looking at the young man in front of him whose face was filled with excitement but whose eyes held hesitation.
Chu Mo鈥檚 lips slightly curled up again, and he gave Long Huan Yu鈥檚 shoulder a gentle pat, nodding slightly to him.
With Chu Mo鈥檚 encouragement, Long Huan Yu seemed to regain his confidence and courage.
He finally took a step forward, approached the large screen, and then pressed the button in front of him firmly.
The next moment, with a series of beeps, the previously bright screen suddenly turned gray, signaling that the S-level task displayed before him had been accepted by someone.
A moment later, the back door of the hall swung open, and the manager of the club, Yang Xuan, slowly approached, holding a floral tray.
At the center of the tray, a green ring designated for senior members of the club nearly captured the attention of everyone present.
When Yang Xuan reached Long Huan Yu鈥檚 side, the young scion of Hua Country鈥檚 foremost family seemed somewhat at a loss, despite trying to appear composed.
Indeed, under the scrutiny of several dozen of the club鈥檚 elite members, a faint hint of panic could be seen in Long Huan Yu鈥檚 eyes.
Yang Xuan, as the head of the club, would only make a personal appearance when an A-level member or above was born.
At this moment, with a smile spread across her face, Yang Xuan approached Long Huan Yu and solemnly placed the green gemstone ring on his finger.
Then, she spoke,
鈥淐ongratulations, Mr.
Long.
From today onward, you are a senior member of our Longevity Club.
You will enjoy the most top-tier services our club has to offer.
As an S-level member of our club, no matter where you are, no matter what difficulties you face, just a phone call away, our club will go to any lengths to help you resolve them!鈥
Amidst Yang Xuan鈥檚 delightful voice, Long Huan Yu, who was gently caressing the green ring on his hand, took a deep breath and all of a sudden said,
鈥淚鈥檇 like to invite the gentleman downstairs, Mr.
Bai, to come up.
I wonder if that might be possible?鈥
Long Huan Yu, having just received his task and become a senior club member, didn鈥檛 pause for a moment before making his request known.
As a senior member of the Longevity Club, the club must fulfill any wish he had, as long as it did not violate the club鈥檚 principles.
This was, in fact, one of the privileges of being a senior member of the Longevity Club.
It was precisely because of these privileges that the top-tier members were even more desperate to become senior members.
Otherwise, if not even a small wish could be fulfilled, the value of the senior membership of the Longevity Club would be lost.
However, Long Huan Yu鈥檚 first wish obviously conflicted with the club鈥檚 principles.
Thus, unable to make a decision, Yang Xuan immediately turned her gaze to Chu Mo.
The Longevity Club had been established for a year and a half, and it had been two months since the club issued rings for the first time during the inaugural gathering of wealthy elites.
In those two months, not a single member had actively used their privileges.
That is to say, Long Huan Yu was the first senior member to actively request the club鈥檚 assistance with a matter.
If Chu Mo were to simply refuse, it would undoubtedly tarnish the reputation of the club.
Therefore, after a moment of contemplation, Chu Mo gave a subtle nod to Yang Xuan across from him.
Naturally, with Chu Mo鈥檚 consent, a smile spread across Yang Xuan鈥檚 face as she nodded in agreement,
鈥淒on鈥檛 worry, Mr.
Long.
I鈥檒l have someone bring Mr.
Bai up from downstairs right away!鈥
As Long Huan Yu relaxed slightly, Yang Xuan immediately turned and headed back.
The atmosphere in the first-floor hall, filled with two half-step Grandmasters and three true Great Grandmasters, was tense to the extreme.
Even as the club鈥檚 manager, she dared not act rashly.
Long Huan Yu had finally completed his mission and had used his senior membership privilege to deal with the nuisance of the white-clad bodyguard.
Thus, he felt an uncommon sense of relief.
However, just then, Long Huan Yu鈥檚 phone rang.
He glanced at the many elite tycoons gathered around and, not wanting to seem presumptuous, immediately picked up the phone and answered the call.
A calm, youthful voice came through on the other end, and shortly after, Long Huan Yu鈥檚 expression darkened.
Right at that moment, the elevator doors in the hall opened, and the young man in white, who had previously been stopped downstairs, slowly made his appearance.
