The hidden House Pi was one of those houses that were ready to insert into the worldly affairs. House Pi didn’t have any opportunities before, but House Xiao was their way in! Before Uncle Pi was working for House Xiao, he was the housekeeper for House Pi. He then had an affair with one of the female servants, so the house leader kicked him out. In the end, he still carried the name of House Pi, so when they heard that he was in a vegetative state, there was an order to find out the truth of the matter!

As a result, hidden House Pi now had a reason to pay an official visit to House Xiao. This was considered direct contact with worldly affairs!

Xiao Ji didn’t understand all of Pi Zhishan’s terms, but he was able to fish out the words that signaled that House Pi wanted money from the secular world. Even if they couldn’t directly dip their hand into world affairs, they put their focus on House Xiao! As for Uncle Pi, he was just used as an excuse. From the attitude of these two young masters, they didn’t seem to care for Uncle Pi’s health. Otherwise, they would’ve asked to visit Uncle Pi the moment they entered the villa.

Xiao Ben was able to sigh out in relief. As long as House Pi wasn’t looking to start up trouble, then it is easy to handle. If House Pi wanted to borrow House Xiao to interfere with worldly affairs, then House Xiao wasn’t in any trouble!

“Young Masters, House Xiao has fallen far from its former glory due to two reasons. The first reason is that when my father was still alive, he lost the majority of our funds due to bad investments. The second reason is that House Xiao doesn’t have any high-profile fighters. So even amongst the Noble Houses, our rank was never high. We weren’t even accepted as one of them…” XIao Ben honestly described their situation, “As for Uncle Pi’s situation, it was House Xiao’s miscalculation. We didn’t think that Pengzhan Industries would be backed by a strong fighter. Now we are broke and powerless! In the end, it is because House Xiao doesn’t have any strong fighters backing us up…”

“What you are saying, I already know!” Pi Zhishan nodded, “If I can send you fighters to hold down the fort, how soon can you reopen business?”

“Young Master Pi, nothing I say can express my gratitude. If you can support us, I propell us onto a greater stage!” Xiao Ben promised, “When Noble Houses do business, they rely most on network and strength!”

“Okay, then let us discuss how we should split the profit,” Pi Zhishan understood what Xiao Ben needed and it wasn’t a difficult request! House Pi had already agreed to frequently send strong fighters to visit House Xiao. Officially, they will say that it is to investigate Uncle Pi’s injury and to protect Uncle Pi’s friends from House Xiao.

“Young Master Pi, how do you want to arrange it?” Xiao Ben’s expression changed. This was the critical moment in the negotiations.

“10 percent. You get 10 percent, we get 90 percent,” Pi Zhishan plainly declared.

“This…” Uncle Ben’s expression changed. It had a bitter look, “Young Master Pi, isn’t that a little too harsh? Ten percent to us, House Xiao, isn’t that too little?”

However their situation was not favorable, but Xiao Ben knew that House Pi needed House Xiao as much as they need them. That was why, Xiao Ben dared to renegotiate.

“Xiao Ben, you have to rethink your situation!” Xiao Ben didn’t think that Pi Zhishan was going to get angry from his terms! He pointed at Xiao Ben and said, “Right now, House Xiao is working on redeeming themselves from punishment. If I wanted to kill you right now, it is still acceptable! House Pi wants to make money, so we can choose another Noble House as a puppet! If we went to House Kang to cooperate, I think they would be very willing. Don’t you agree?”

In all honesty, Pi Zhishan was bluffing to scare Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji. House Pi didn’t dare to work with any other Noble Houses! The hidden house convention agreement is not a joke. Even if the witnesses were missing, that didn’t mean they could just disregard the agreement!

As for House Pi and House Xiao interacting, it was due to the Uncle Fu’s accident. So House Pi wasn’t afraid of anyone investigating on their interaction in the worldly affairs. However, if they intended to raise a puppet in the Noble House, the nature of their visit changes completely.

However the truth about these issues were kept under tight lips, so Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji didn’t know about it. They knew that hidden Houses weren’t supposed to interfere with worldly affairs to earn money. However, it was still within acceptable boundary if it was through someone else’s hand. It shouldn’t be a problem, since House Yu does the same thing. Xiao Ben didn’t know that House Pi’s only choice was to pick House Xiao.

Xiao Ben was starting to become afraid! House Pi wanted to work with House Xiao, but he was making the situation worse! If they found another noble house to do their dirty work, then what would become of House Xiao?

Thinking up to this point, Xiao Ben had to give up as he apologized, “Young master Pi, please forgive me… I was just messing around… Fine, then we will take 10 percent…”

Xiao Ben had to calculate pros and cons. If they were able to obtain House Pi’s support, then fortune will start coming in. 10 percent isn’t a small amount! In principal, if they had House Pi’s support, then House Xiao’s status will raise. Then House Xiao can match noble House Yu. At a certain point, there are certain things that money can’t buy. As long as their cooperation with House Pi is maintained, then House Xiao will have endless growth!

“Good, you understand the situation!” Pi Zhishan calmly replied, “Originally, our family committee didn’t want to give House Xiao anything, but my grandpa convinced them and said to give House Xiao 10 percent. It should be enough for House Xiao to survive on the salary. There’s a saying: if you want the horse to run, then you have to feed the horse. I told you my maximum limit so we can save time on bargaining back and forth!”

“Thank you young master Pi!” Xiao Ben felt relieved. It was good that he didn’t maintain his stance too strong, otherwise the consequence would’ve been severe!

“No need to thank me. It is a win for the both of us,” Pi Zhishan felt that it was laughable. He had lied to them. House Pi had expected to give away 30 percent, which was the same term that House Yu has with its’ noble House. Who would’ve thought that Pi Zhishan went to an even lower percentage. Perhaps, it was due to House Xiao’s dire condition, which sparked him to suppress them into unfavorable terms.

House Xiao had no other choice. They were able to obtain House Pi’s support, so it was wonderful news. The compensation split was a secondary concern. If they are able to grow their business to the same size as House Yu, then 10 percent will be more than the income when House Xiao was at its peak!

“Then House Pi’s fighter…” Xiao Ben was worried about the other issue. If House Pi couldn’t find someone to send over, then all this negotiation was for naught.

“Relax, I will send you someone in the late stage Mystic class spiritual master to hold down the fort. Then I will send an early stage Mystic class physical master to help with your other issues!” Pi Zhishan continued to speak, “You should know that Earth class fighters like us, can’t stay in the secular world. There are rules!”
