Seeing that even Duobao had failed to gain an advantage, Chen Jiyuan stopped wasting his time and turned to leave. The last one remaining, Qiu Tianshui, watched the two depart before stepping forward with a smile:
"Chief Chen, I am the Chief of the Internal Affairs Hall. All of the Pill Hall's supplies have to pass through me."
His words carried a hint of a reminder, as well as a threat.
After all, the Pill Hall consumed a vast quantity of Spirit Herbs daily. If he were to withhold a few key materials, twenty to thirty percent of the Hall's pills couldn't be refined. He had used this very tactic to blackmail Huang Shiwo in the past, either by shorting his deliveries or intentionally delaying them for two or three days.
Huang Shiwo couldn't take the pressure and eventually promoted one of Qiu Tianshui's juniors to the position of Chief Steward.
Now, he was trying the same old trick again.
