During Lin Yun's time in India, great upheavals took place among the top ranks in Huaxia.

In a short span of time, four Grandmasters of Dark Strength had fallen, and over a hundred military elites had perished. The detailed information kept on being passed on to the major forces, and a strong storm was brewing around the Lu and Mie Families, leaving their senior executives feeling incredibly grave.

If they had known earlier the enormous strength behind Qingyun Company, they might not have made their move.

At the very least, they wouldn't have acted so rashly.

To their knowledge, during this battle, five Grandmasters of Dark Strength had emerged from Qingyun Company. One of them had fallen, leaving four.

These four Grandmasters, along with various powerful weapons, completely disappeared from the sight of all the major forces. Their whereabouts were unknown, suggesting that the Lu and Mie Families, these two major families, could very possibly be in a very dangerous state for some time in the future.

This was completely unlike their original expectations.

Of course, their gains were also substantial. Qingyun Company in Immortal Origin County was in the process of acquisition, and they had dispatched some of their researchers to study the production lines for various products of Qingyun Company.

What astonished them most was the core skyscraper that Qingyun Company had been constructing.

Not only did it cover an area of three hundred thousand square meters, but it had also been built up to fifty-eight floors.

If you included the seventeen-floor basement, it amounted to a total of seventy-five floors.

Such a number was indeed shocking.

If a three-bedroom house was only a hundred square meters, then this would be equivalent to over two hundred thousand three-bedroom houses.

A single building was almost like a small city!

Moreover, a lot of the decorations had been put in place, including air circulation, lighting, water, electricity...

The living conditions far surpassed those of many top residences in Shen City!

According to them, Qingyun Company had only been constructing this core building for less than a month!

They didn't know how Qingyun Company had managed to do this...

Recently, the number of migrant workers and various businessmen going to Immortal Origin County had reached two to three hundred thousand. The population was very mixed. Moreover, the things the two major families were doing were not all above board. Coupled with their time constraints, they hadn't been able to locate the construction workers for this building.

All they found on-site were some destroyed construction equipment...

According to the estimates of experts sent by the two families, the construction cost of this building, including decoration costs, would be at least 3500 per square meter, and some of the decorations were things that money simply couldn't buy.

The construction and decoration costs of a single floor would exceed a billion!

Seventy-five floors, just in terms of construction and decoration costs, were close to a hundred billion!

If the building of this caliber were situated in a top city like Shen City, Shanghai, or Capital City, and each square meter was sold at over fifty thousand, there would definitely be people fighting to buy it, and the value of the building would be absolutely terrifying!

Because of the building, the two major families even started to consider whether they should focus on developing Immortal Origin County...

If Immortal Origin County were developed, the housing prices would undoubtedly increase, which would make the value of this building even greater!

At present, the housing prices in Immortal Origin County were just over three thousand. As the area of this building was massive, if it were all sold off, there wouldn't be enough people in Immortal Origin County to consume it, and the price might be even lower!

As a result, the selling price of the building might not even cover the cost of construction and decoration!

Although this property basically cost them nothing to acquire, it was such a pity for the two major families to sell it off so cheaply, especially since the building's quality was extremely high. Even in top-tier cities like Shen City, Shanghai, or Capital City, it could still be considered a landmark! Discover more content at empire

If Immortal Origin County were developed, it would be a different story. If the housing prices of the Immortal Origin County just doubled, the value of this building would also double!

They noticed that the environment in Immortal Origin County wasn't too bad. Especially after the grand constructions by Qingyun Company, they thought it wouldn't be too difficult to develop it into a tourist location based on what was already there.

Especially, since Immortal Origin County had a natural basis for becoming a tourist location. After all, it was the birthplace of Elder Lord, a world-renowned figure.

Once it became a tourist hotspot, it would be easy to manipulate the housing prices here, especially because the environment inside the building was excellent...

They had originally planned to reproduce the technologies of various Qingyun Company products elsewhere after fully understanding them. Now it seemed that there was no need for it as Qingyun Company had constructed many factories, and they didn't need to look for other places.

As Qingyun Company was in Immortal Origin County, the development potential of Immortal Origin County was even greater!

They didn't need the housing prices in Immortal Origin County to rise to the level of Shanghai, Capital City, or Shen City. As long as they rose to a fraction of it, they would make a fortune just from this building!

With these thoughts, the executives of the two major families regretted even more!

Had they known that Qingyun Company was constructing such a skyscraper, they would have delayed their actions against Qingyun Company!

In less than a month, this skyscraper had been built up to seventy-five floors. On average, it was built up by two to three floors every day, or even more. Each day they waited, the skyscraper increased by an additional two or three floors which was at least a value of two to three billion...

The Mie Family's ship had been attacked twice, each time the losses were around three billion!

Every day they waited, the two families gained an additional build valued at two to three billion!

Where in the world could they find a better deal?

Unlike now, the ordinary executives of Qingyun Company had no idea about the intricacies of Qingyun Company. Lin Yun, the ostensive boss, had disappeared, so it was impossible for them to get more valuable items.

If they had waited for a while longer, they might have been able to investigate the strength of Qingyun Company in more detail, so as to not suffer such heavy losses.

At present, not only were the gains of the two major families greatly reduced, but they also had to share more of these gains with the people from other major forces, especially those top forces above them.

This operation had caused too much of a stir.

If they didn't share more of their profits, they wouldn't be able to calm the situation down.

Now, most of the benefits were obtained by those forces, and all the risks fell on the two major families. They had no idea if this operation was a gain or a loss for their families.

"Search for Lin Yun and his team with all efforts. Besides, invite martial arts experts and Grandmasters, regardless of the cost..."

"A Dark Strength expert would cost between two to ten million, a Martial Arts Grandmaster would conservatively cost a hundred million. If it's a mid-stage Dark Strength Grandmaster, three hundred million. If it's a late-stage Dark Strength Grandmaster, five hundred million. They only need to guard our family for a month..."

The senior executives from the Mie and Lu families began to issue orders.

At a government office in Capital City.

"Huaxia soldiers are to protect the people of Huaxia. Mobilizing large numbers of military elites and using many heated weapons against the senior executives and their family members of a national enterprise, this is outright robbery! These families, they really have a lot of nerve!

These families are indeed the biggest tumors of Huaxia!" A middle-aged man was pacing around, occasionally slamming his hand on the table, expressing his anger.
