Taking over Dongping City.
Inside the Celestial Heavenly Store, the atmosphere was thick with tension, marred by nervousness.
The five most powerful individuals in Dongping City stood before a young man casually sipping his tea. But this was no ordinary tea; it was spiritual tea, a rare delicacy that few could afford or appreciate.
Despite their presence, the young man didn't even spare them a glance. As they stood there, desperate to speak, his indifference toward them became glaringly obvious.
Yet, none of the five dared to be angry. Each forced a smile, trying to hide their fear and uncertainty.
Time seemed to crawl, the silence raising the tension among the five. Several times, they tried to speak but faltered, too frightened to say the wrong thing and invite his wrath.
Any other person would have called the young man's behavior a bluff, but they knew better. His demeanor wasn't pretense; he truly did not see them as anything important.
