Yang Jian stared at the dishes that had been available before him. Neat and charming, even though there are only sweets, fresh fruit and plain water.
"Didn't you like it?" Asked Yang Jian feeling confused seeing Mother Meng and the orphanage children just quietly settling down the food dish without even touching it.
"Ah no! We like him a lot. Thank you for the kindness of Young Master." Said Meng's mother, then she asked that her children start sitting down and eating dishes. Mother Meng knew from the beginning that Yang Jian was not an indiscriminate person. And it seems that something like this is nothing new to Ms. Meng, that's why she doesn't question where the food came from.
When Mother Meng had spooned the first mouth into her mouth, then followed by another child. Yang Jian saw that the children were eating without a single one scrambling despite being hungry.
"This is a little gift from me. Please don't refuse." Yang Jian handed over a large black pouch to Mother Meng. Mother Meng wanted to refuse, but Yang Jian explained that it was about to enter winter, and the children needed warmer clothes for them to use.
"Thank you so much Young Master, we don't know what we have to give to repay all the kindness, Young Master."
"Want to reply? Don't refuse this." Replied Yang Jian. Yang Jian also said that he intended to renovate their residence to make it more habitable, and Yang Jian also planned to complete various supporting facilities for them.
After quite a long debate, Mother Meng finally relented and followed Yang Jian's wish of renovating their residence. Not to forget either, Mother Meng asked the children of the orphanage to thank Yang Jian and not to forget to remember Yang Jian's kindness.
The next morning, Yang Jian came to the not-so-famous building shop in Stone City, the location of the shop was not far from the location of Mother Meng's orphanage. This is to facilitate the transportation of building materials and to save time.
"We'll start work tomorrow, Young Master. You can pay the advance fee in advance for workers' wages and pay for the purchase of building materials no later than when the construction process has taken place half way."
Clearly the manager of the shop told Yang Jian. They were talking in the waiting room of the manager. This was not because Yang Jian was an important guest, but because Yang Jian not only bought their materials, but also used his services.
"May not disappoint." Yang Jian ended up paying the entire construction cost in addition to the cost to the workers. Not that Yang Jian did not have any money, but he wanted to see the extent of responsibility of the workers would be his obligation.

"Ha ha ha. No problem, I'll wait for him even longer. After all, I really have a lot of free time today. So you don't have to worry about it."
In a luxurious room, the residence belonging to the nobility was the arrival of guests. The guest was none other than Mu Weng, the eldest son of the Mu great family who managed to become one of the outer disciples of the White Cloud Sect.
As per Weng's promise, he was currently going to meet a Master who happened to have a cooperative relationship with Weng. One of the Lord's right-handers asked Weng to wait for him for a moment because his Master still had other interests that he immediately took care of.
"How dare he make Senior wait!" Angered one of Weng's followers while clenching his hands firmly under the table.
"Hold on in a minute. It won't be long, once I succeed in this business then I'll make sure I step on him under my feet." Weng's voice trembled slightly as it held back his anger.
Half an hour later there was the sound of footsteps towards the room in Weng, when the door of the room opened there was a man with the appearance and stature of a mid-twenties, a man, but I don't know how many hundred times he's been through his years. The man was in a long green robe and followed two men who were each standing to his left and right.
The young man's long robe swept across the floor, his gaze sharp, as sharp as an eagle. And the man blatantly gave off his rather concentrated murderous aura, it seemed like he had taken many lives during his lifetime.
"Waiting long?" Asked the man to make small talk after sitting comfortably in the front seat of the table. Not in the slightest did he reduce the murderous aura that was coming out of his body.
"No problem, Mr. Jiang. It's not a big deal." Weng laughed heartily and was followed by his two friends. The man that Master Jiang picked up only displayed his flat face. " Mister Weng was shrewd in joking." Reply Jiang while sipping a glass of wine in front of him slowly.
"So, what was the purpose for Young Master Weng to come to my small residence. I don't think it's as simple as visiting, is it?" Jiang asked then during a glass of red wine.
Weng let out a laugh before explaining the purpose of his arrival. Weng explained that he had recently sent fifteen children to sell to the next Kaisaran. The slave trade transaction that Weng and Jiang had done had lasted for almost a year.
That's why the buyer began to believe in Weng in the business field. And to offer a wider business. It's not just child slavery. But also young women to work in brothels and strong men to waitresses or trial materials of a particular organization. What is clear is that the buyer explained if the price they paid could reach two to three times the previous, depending on the talent, beauty or good looks of the person later.
Hearing Weng's words throw Jiang a little throbbing trying to neutralize the look on his face that had fallen in love with how many coins he would get in the future.
"Hows it? Is Lord Jiang interested." Weng asked while raising one of his eyebrows.
"It seems like your conversation is really interesting." Not yet had Jiang reply to Weng's words, suddenly the door of the room opened wide and revealed a handsome young man with sharp blue eyes and a cold and freezing aura.
"Who are you? How dare an uninvited guest set foot into my residence without my permission. The bodyguard!" Jiang growled furiously at the sudden arrival of Yang Jian. How could any stranger enter his residence without him being able to detect.
"Who are you trying to call?" Yang Jian started to step on his feet, the glare of his sharp eyes as well as the killing aura that slowly oozed from Yang Jian's body made the hearts of Weng, Jiang and his followers race fast.
