Indestructible God King

And so, the construction of the second God Wang Tower officially began. Wang Ke's subordinates already had the experience accumulated during their first construction; things were even more familiar.

Zhang Zhengdao shuttled across the Ten-thousand Great Mountains on his flying sword and sent the message to all Wang Clan members in each of the seventy-two cultivation clans. And so, the workers from each cultivation town set out for the new project. All workshops in the seventy-two cultivation towns worked at full capacity to tirelessly produce materials for God Wang Tower.

A month later—a massive amount of concrete, rebars and sand were piled up at the Dragon Gate Assembly's venue. Everyone in town was shocked.

The ordinary residents had some concerns, but Wang Ke had informed them beforehand. He even took out some money to buy the land and built some basic exercise infrastructures for the cultivation town; that was why the locals didn't protest. But all in all, it was more like not daring to protest, since it was the plan of a cultivator; none of them dared to object.

As for the righteous sects, Tie Liuyun, Zhao Si and the others went throughout the camps to persuade them. Although the immortal sects didn't favor the new tower, they still had to give Wang Ke face; they didn't make any trouble, either.

"Rumble!"

Flattening out the land, driving piles into the ground, pouring concrete, constructing worker's quarters. Everything was in progress amidst the loud rumbling.

At that moment—on top of a mountain outside the Dragon Cultivation Town—Mo Sanshan stood and watched the busy workers engrossed in their tasks. His face twitched unstoppably.

"Is something wrong with my eyes? Isn't that the venue for the Dragon Gate Assembly?" Mo Sanshan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, yes, that's right," a subordinate answered, "I had already gone there to inspect the area, but the supervisor stopped me from getting closer. He told me to check the construction permit which is on display, outside the construction area! They had a bunch of certificates and the land acquisition contract, as well as the construction permit. So, they didn't allow me to enter!"

"Nonsense! Who gave them those permits? Also, who did he buy the land from? Such arrogance!" Mo Sanshan asked angrily.

"According to the land contract, it says he bought it from the major clans in the Dragon Cultivation Town. Even the clan lords signed it personally!" the subordinate replied.

"The venue for the Dragon Gate Assembly doesn't belong to them! What's the use of having their signatures? Besides, doesn't he know what the place is? It is right smack where the Dragon Gate Assembly will be held! A huge battle between the righteous and the demonic sects takes place during each assembly. There will be countless casualties; it'll be a warzone! It's not only a place to recruit disciples, but also a battlefield between the righteous and the demonic since a long time ago! And he... He's building a tower at the center of that battlefield? What the hell is he thinking?" Mo Sanshan was still unable to wrap his mind around Wang Ke's intentions.

Damn. It's like someone building a house between two armies about to clash! What’s the purpose? To sell snacks? What kind of crazy project is this?

"I... I don't know either!" his subordinate replied, feeling strange.

"And no one went to stir up trouble against Wang Ke?" Mo Sanshan asked after taking a deep breath.

"Nope!" his subordinate answered.

Mo Sanshan rubbed his head. Damn! The Dragon Gate Assembly, the war between righteous and demonic factions! It's such a bloody and solemn event! But Wang Ke is messing about trying to make merry! What is this supposed to mean?

"How high is he planning to build this new tower?" Mo Sanshan asked further.

"Back when I went down to check the construction notice, it said it's going to be thirty stories high. I think it's going to be the same as the other tower back in the Wolf Cultivation Town." his subordinate answered.

Mo Sanshan's eyelid twitched madly. "Thirty? Right smack in the middle of the Dragon Gate Assembly? Then... Wouldn't their setup be gone to waste?"

"Ah?" That subordinate was confused by the latter’s questioning.

"That's enough. You may leave now; I will handle this!" Mo Sanshan said.

"Understood!" said the subordinate before taking his leave.

------------------

After a month of construction!

The second God Wang Tower was built up to its fifth floor. Wang Ke took time to frequently inspect the progress. On a certain day, Zhang Zhengdao found the rare time to accompany him.

"Aiyo, Wang Ke, I'm so tired after running around all day!" Zhang Zhengdao complained.

"You are being paid to do just that, and still you’re feeling too tired because of it?" Wang Ke shot him a stare.

"Of course, it's tiring! I'm traveling to each and every single cultivation town! And I'm also in charge of transporting the products from the workshops!" Zhang Zhengdao felt frustrated.

"That's bullsh*t. I asked the Dragon Cultivation Town's workshops to handle the basic materials; they’re in charge of transportation now. As for the renovation materials, it's not time for them to be transported yet. Still, even when the time does arrive, the workshops are responsible for transporting their own products. I only asked you to deliver some of the small items; now you’re grumbling about being tired?" Wang Ke showed scorn for his middling partner.

"But I've been hard at work until now; it's a fact!" Zhang Zhengdao retorted angrily.

"Fine, fine; enough with the nonsense. Everyone else is more tired than you! Getting more tired is precisely the reason why you’re earning more money! The most important thing now is for those who bought insurance to leave the Dragon Cultivation Town. We will lose a lot of money if they die!" Wang Ke said.

"I already went and urged them to leave!"

"Urging is not enough; you need to scare them off! Go find them for some wine and chit-chat; continue to brainwash them about how ruthless the Demon Sovereign is when he captures people. Tell more horrifying stories of the demon overlord… You can even make things up! Or I’ll deduct any losses from your commission!" Wang Ke said.

"What?" You’lle take a cut from my money? Dream on!" Zheng Zhengdao immediately guarded his wallet.

"Then what are you waiting for? Scare them off!" Wang Ke said, staring at the other.

"Don't worry. I will go tomorrow! But what's your reasoning for putting the second tower right in the middle of the assembly’s venue? I heard some news: many righteous disciples didn't make a fuss because they’re giving face to Tie Liuyun and the rest. But that doesn’t prevent them from thinking of you as a laughingstock!" Zhang Zhengdao said.

"They’re laughing at me?" Wang Ke was a little surprised.

"Yeah, they said that the Dragon Gate Assembly's venue is often a gruesome battlefield between the righteous and the demonic. Your tower could be destroyed at any moment during a battle! If that happens, aren’t you working to throw it all down the drain? Many people are waiting for your tower to collapse so that they can finally laugh in your face!" Zhang Zhengdao explained.

"That's good!" Wang Ke said without a worry.

"Good? Are you nuts?" Zhang Zhengdao felt shocked. "Your tower is bound to be destroyed, yet you feel good about it?"

"Of course! I’ll be compensated by whoever destroys my tower! You are the crazy one! Shouldn't there be proper compensation for destroying someone else's property? It would be unreasonable otherwise!" Wang Ke replied.

Zhang ZHengdao was left in a daze for quite a while, but then realized… "Tssss~ You are doing this on purpose?"

"Hmm?"

"You’re deliberately building the tower in that place so you can trick them into compensating you for damages? And you’ll be asking for twice the money it cost you to build it, right? Wouldn’t that be a massive gain instead of a loss?" Zhang Zhengdao cried out in shock.

"Twice?" Wang Ke looked at Zhang Zhengdao, "Is my tower worth so little?"

"Is twice not enough? You want tenfold?" Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke in disbelief.

Such a vicious heart!

"Adding a zero is just the beginning!" Wang Ke said, "When the time comes, they’ll have to pay however much I quote them! If the righteous disciples dare to destroy it, I will get my Revered Teacher to arbiter for our sake. If it's the demonic disciples doing the dirty work, I will get people to protest and find She… Uhh! Forget it; why should I tell you more about my plans!" And so, he stopped talking about the subject.

"Damn, you built this big a** tower so you could scam them later? There's no need to sell insurance! You’ll strike it rich with this alone!" Zhang Zhengdao said with staring eyes.

He knew that Wang Ke was good at making money, but he didn't expect that the guy had thought that far ahead.

"Okay, okay. Go and do what you need to do!" Wang Ke urged.

And just when the latter was about to continue his inspections—a clan member rushed over.

"Clan Lord, a group of men in black robes came to disrupt our work; they even beat up a few workers!" the clan member reported anxiously.

"Troublemakers? Men in black?" Zhang Zhengdao was taken aback.

Wang Ke narrowed his eyes. "I've already reached an agreement with the locals and the righteous faction. Who came to stir trouble? Are they demonic disciples?"

"From the demonic sect?" Zhang Zhengdao's face looked serious.

"Come, let's go and take a look!" Wang Ke said.
