58 Boss is so powerful!

The guy looked lost. He looked at his benefactors, Nie Ruogang and Ming Yahui expecting them to interject on his behalf.

"Nie Li" Nie Ruogang started shouting again, but Ming Yahui again silenced him.

"Brother Nie Wen, you see that I don't have any other choice than interject on behalf of our fellow clansman, don't you?" He said addressing Nie Wen. He usually wouldn't have crossed the path of the patriarch's grandnephew even though he didn't have any official power in the clan yet. But the money was just too good. When he heard that the one who bought out all the Purple Haze Grass in the City was a kid from the clan and that he did not have any significant backing, he was overjoyed.

The fact that there was a grudge between the kid's branch and the grand elder's branch was just icing on the cake. He doubted that the clan leadership would side with the farmers' kid over him. On the contrary, they will want a cut as well!

The only problem was the patriarch's grandnephew, but he had expected that turning him and the other kids to his side would be easy. But that plan failed. These idiots couldn't see that this kid is exploiting them.

He had to give the credit to the kid. He must have found information about the Purple Haze Grass somewhere and decided to benefit from it. He would have done the same. But in a smarter way. He would have never allowed the information to leak. It was the kid's own fault that the wolves were now eyeing his food.

"No, I don't see why are you sticking your nose into our business." Nie Wen's calm reply broke him out of his thoughts.

"I gave my word to the grand elder Nie Wei, that I will protect my new clansmen from being taken advantage of by anyone." Ming Yahui stated reminding everyone that he had the backing of the grand elder.

Nie Wen on the other hand didn't like to use his granduncle's position, "And how are you going to do that?"

"You don't leave me any other choice than to use force." Ming Yahui said and let out the full force of his peak 4-star Bronze rank demon spiritualist aura. Most of the kids were 1-star bronze rank demon spiritualists or fighters at most, some of them even haven't reached the bronze rank yet so they felt pressured greatly. But the pressure itself was not dangerous at these low levels. Ming Yahui was just showing his cultivation level telling others to back off.

"I'd like to see you try" Nie Wen snorted and another 4-star bronze rank aura spread around lifting the pressure from his clansmen. They cheered wondering over the fact that Nie Wen also reached the 4-star bronze rank.

Ming Yahui's face on the hand, darkened. Nie Wen was also 4-star bronze rank? His aura wasn't any weaker than his own. That means he was also on the brink of breaking through to 5-star! He had heard that Nie Wen was only 2-star bronze rank and was trying to reach the third star. That makes things much more difficult. Nie Ruogang was also shocked. He didn't expect Nie Wen to be so strong.

"Let's not fight with each other. We are from the same family after all," Nie Li said, and an even more powerful aura appeared and suppressed both Nie Wen's and Ming Yahui's auras.

"What? Boss is also so powerful?" his employees shouted.

Ming Yahui and Nie Ruogang were ashen-faced. They had not considered meeting so powerful opponents. They just thought they would come, incite others to turn against Nie Li and if necessary Nie Wen, and just force the Nie Li to cough up some money. But now all of it came crashing down.

"Okay. I see now we don't have any other choice than leave," Ming Yahui said resignedly.

"I wouldn't have been able to give you a share from Purple Haze Grass anyway. I delivered them to the Alchemy Association already," Nie Li said as if it was the Association who ordered the grass in the first place.

Nie Wen simply glared at the trio crossly. He was still seething that these as**oles tried to pressure them by force. And in the process talking about someone taking advantage of them! The hypocrisy of these arrogant fu****s!

As they started to leave, Nie Li approached Ming Yahui.

"Brother Yahui, I hope that today's misunderstanding won't cause any hard feelings. Talented people like you are very valuable to us. I hope our next meeting would be a more pleasant one." He said patting him on the shoulder and putting a concealed listening device on him. It was a very thin elastic material, that could stick to any surface and mimic it. It was practically impossible to notice. Concealing the camera in such a small device had not been easy. But now, while Ming Yahui wears these clothes Nie Li would be able to see and hear everything that happened around him.

Ming Yahui hasn't noticed and just curtly nodded and left.

Nie Li closed the door and returned to his place. Everyone was looking at him. It was the first time he showed his power to them so they must have many questions. But now was not time for those questions.

"And that's what happens when you do not follow orders about confidentiality," he said looking discontentedly at his employees.

"It wasn't our fault. It was Nie Mu who told them," objected his other employees.

"And you are telling me that you haven't told anyone about what were you doing?" Nie Li asked. His clansmen averted their eyes.

"You tell someone, and that someone tells another one. And after some time you will notice that your secret isn't as secret anymore." He said looking at his clansmen. "In the future, you'll get access to even more sensitive information, the release of which may bring disaster."

His clansmen sat heads bowed. Nie Wen already talked to them about it.

"From now on if I say something confidential, that means even your parents shouldn't learn about it." Nie Li said strictly. "I hope everyone understands."

"Yeah," "we got it," his clansmen consented one by one. Nie Li knew it wasn't the end. There still would be leaks, but it will at least make them more serious about the confidentiality issues.

"Okay, I haven't come to this meeting to reprimand. And the salary rise was only part of the award." Nie Li took out ten soul crystals and passed them to his followers. Not counting Nie Wen only ten of them remained. Nie Wen could understand what was happening and looked towards Nie Li. Nie Li nodded.

"Pour your soul force into the crystal." Nie Li continued. His clansmen silently followed his orders. After getting the results Nie Li took out a book where he collected all of the techniques he knew, except for the most powerful ones. Nie Li divided the techniques into 4 classes. From first-class techniques to fourth-class ones. His own technique and the ones gifted to his friends, Nie Wen and Nie Zexi were all first-class techniques and weren't included in this 'grimoire'.

The second-class techniques were the less powerful techniques he learned in Draconic Ruins Realm. They were still very impressive. They were included in the grimoire and were the ones he was planning to reward his loyal followers with.

The third-class techniques were from the ancient eras of this world and allowed at most to reach the legend rank. Nie Li was planning to gift them to the public when the time comes.

The fourth-class techniques were what most people now used in Glory City. Nie Li considered them trash and didn't bother himself with recording them.

Nie Li chose for everyone the most suitable second-class techniques and copied them into parchments. It wasn't difficult because his grimoire was an artifact that contained more than three thousand second-rate and third-rate techniques, and made copies automatically.

He passed the parchments to his employees. "When we made an agreement I told you that I will provide you with some cultivation techniques. What you're holding in your hands are cultivation techniques most suitable for you considering the nature of your soul. They are much more powerful than what you are using now.

Some of his clansmen immediately tested the chants and exclaimed, "This is great! Is this how the boss and bother Nie Wen became so strong?"

"Partially. You will get more resources in the future. Right now you must cultivate diligently. I have big plans for you in the future." Nie Li responded

Everyone assured him that they will work hard. Then Nie Li got reports of their daily tasks and ended the meeting.

After everyone left Nie Wen approached ham and asked in a low voice, "What are we going to do with Ming Yahui? I don't think that he will keep everything secret." The fact Nie Wen was considering it their collective problem was good news. That means he considered himself part of the team. The rest of his employees still have some time to get there.

"Don't worry, I will take care of him," he assured Nie Wen. He had a couple of plans for that guy. Which one he will use will depend on the decisions the guy himself makes.

Nie Wen looked at his impassionate face as if searching for something and in the end seemingly gave up and said, "Okay then, good luck." He must have thought that Nie Li was planning to kill the kid. And he wasn't completely wrong, that was one of his plans. After that, they said farewells and went their way.

Nie Li returned to his room. Today he is going to cross the barrier to the silver rank. In the novel, his counterpart used the Miracle Meridian Hands acupuncture method to quickly achieve the Silver rank. But he decided not to risk it rushing through a level. And his foundation would be steadier this way.
