Yongxing Group, blood processing plant.
Situ Jingyuan was showing Ms.
Xu around.
Situ Jingyuan pointed to the factory building and introduced, “Our processing plant has a total of five intake ports, corresponding to tiers 1-5.” “All transcendent blood, after undergoing a purification process, is sealed into bottles protected by magic to prevent the energy within the blood from dissipating.” Ms.
Xu nodded and walked into the factory to observe every process.
Although Angier Group was not involved in this line of business, she knew some of the basics.
For a large group specializing in transcendent blood, no matter how good the processing procedures were, they were merely the icing on the cake; the true foundation was the Ranch and the channels for acquiring transcendent blood.
After an hour, Ms.
Xu finished touring the factory.
“Chairman Situ, the factory tour is complete.
Can we go see the group’s Ranch now?” “Of course, please.” The group got back into the cars, and the motorcade slowly started, driving toward the outskirts of the city.
On the road outside the city, in the back seat of the lead luxury car, Situ Jingyuan turned his head to look at the assistant sitting beside him.
“Xiao Lin, have you given instructions to the Ranch?” “It’s been arranged for now, but it was a bit rushed, so the preparations might not be very thorough.” “Just leave it at that for now; as long as we can fool Ms.
Xu for the time being, it’ll be fine.” Thirty kilometers outside the city, after passing a checkpoint guarded by Yongxing security, the motorcade drove into the group’s Ranch area.
Getting out of the car, Ms.
Xu looked at the towering cylindrical buildings, nearly a hundred meters high, and a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She hadn’t expected the so-called Ranch to actually be these buildings.
Led by Situ Jingyuan, the group walked into one of the buildings.
Passing through the thick alloy doors, the scene inside appeared before them.
It was densely packed with countless adult green-skinned Goblins.
Every Goblin was tightly bound and unable to move; their chins had been removed, and a special tube went straight from their throats into their stomachs.
Two blood-drawing tubes were inserted into the blood vessels on their necks.
Situ Jingyuan introduced with a smile, “This Ranch building keeps adult Tier 1 Goblins.
It can produce about one thousand catties of Tier 1 blood every day.” “There are thirteen more such buildings in the Ranch.” Ms.
Xu walked up to a Goblin whose eyes lacked even a glimmer of light and examined it from head to toe.
“How much blood can one adult Goblin produce in a day?” “To maintain sustainable harvesting, we only extract about one hundred milliliters, or roughly one hundred grams, of blood from a single Goblin each day.” The Goblins, having been raised in captivity on the Ranch since birth, had even had their racial characteristics eroded.
Under normal circumstances, Goblins were extremely fanatical about females.
Because of their racial characteristics, Goblins were only male, but they possessed a racial talent comparable to dragons, capable of impregnating females of almost any race.
Whether a Goblin tribe was strong or not depended heavily on how many females of other races they had plundered.
Yet, the bound Goblin in front of Ms.
Xu showed no fluctuation in its eyes when it saw her; it was as hollow as if it had no soul.
Throughout the entire building, from bottom to top, nearly ten thousand Goblins were kept in captivity.
Despite such a dense arrangement, the ground was very clean.
When Ms.
Xu saw the tubes at the Goblins’ hindquarters, she understood the reason why the factory was clean and free of foul odors.
These captive Goblins not only lacked the freedom to eat, but even their excretion was controlled.
“Chairman Situ, as far as I know, Yongxing Group specializes in Tier 3-5 transcendent blood.
Take me to see the factory buildings that produce high-tier blood.” “Yes, certainly.
Please, this way.” The group arrived at a new factory building.
Ms.
Xu took one glance and discovered the trickery within.
Although she had anticipated that there would definitely be fewer captive transcendent creatures above Tier 3.
But there were only a few hundred Tier 3 transcendent creatures, and those of Tier 4 and Tier 5 were in the single digits—this was obviously not normal.
Walking to the fence of the pit, Ms.
Xu looked down at the lone Tier 5 Big-Eared Giant Elephant in the pit.
“Chairman Situ, can just one Tier 5 Giant Elephant meet the processing plant’s demands?” Situ Jingyuan wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and explained, “Ms.
Xu, you may not know this, but Tier 4 and Tier 5 transcendent creatures are extremely difficult to tame.” “For this Tier 5 Giant Elephant, Yongxing spent a huge sum—nearly three hundred million—to purchase it.” Hearing this excuse, Ms.
Xu frowned, “Chairman Situ, you still haven’t answered my question!” Backed into a corner, Situ Jingyuan had no choice but to bring out the excuse he had prepared in advance.
“Nothing escapes your eyes.
To be honest, most of the Group’s Tier 3-5 transcendent blood is obtained through external procurement.” “What are the channels, and who are the suppliers?” Faced with the aggressive questioning, Situ Jingyuan certainly couldn’t name anyone.
“Ms.
Xu, these are the Group’s top secrets; it wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?” “Oh?” Ms.
Xu turned around, her blood-colored pupils cold, without the slightest concession.
“Angier Group holds 50% of Yongxing’s shares.
In terms of shares, I have no less than you do.
What secrets are there that I cannot know?” The atmosphere turned cold, and the two remained silent.
The others accompanying them were even more terrified, not daring to make a sound.
Situ Jingyuan’s eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, he was the first to break the deadlock.
“Hahahaha, Ms.
Xu, you are joking.
Of course, you have the right to know.” “However, the suppliers are very sensitive about confidentiality, and it’s difficult for me.
How about this: I’ll set a time, and we can meet them together.
How does that sound, Ms.
Xu?” Ms.
Xu had a mission, so it wasn’t good to push too hard, so she simply took the step down.
“Chairman Situ, please arrange it as soon as possible.
I also have a mission; Patriarch Thorne has instructed me to compile the detailed business dealings of Yongxing into a report and deliver it to him as soon as possible.” “After all, with annual profits exceeding one billion, Patriarch Thorne attaches great importance to it.” “The previous misunderstanding has been cleared up, and the Patriarch does not wish for there to be any estrangement between the two families.” “Of course, of course, I understand.
I will arrange the meeting as soon as possible.” The matter was temporarily settled, and Situ Jingyuan escorted Ms.
Xu out of the Ranch.
“Chairman Situ, please stay; there’s no need to see me off.
I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.
Let’s chat another day.” As she spoke, Ms.
Xu turned and got into the car.
Before the door closed, Situ Jingyuan waved with a smiling face, “Take care, Ms.
Xu.
Give my regards to Patriarch Thorne.” “I will.” The car window closed completely.
Watching the direction the car left in, Situ Jingyuan had long since put away his smile; his pupils tightened, his brows furrowed, and his expression was ugly.
He was willing to give 50% of the profits to Thorne, treating it as paying for peace, but he would never accept exposing his core secrets.
Situ Jingyuan turned and got into the car.
“Back to the manor.”
