“You could say that,” Ferguson Xu replied with an eerie calm.
“But not everyone stumbles upon such a fortune.
The direct consequence of my actions is that none of these people can return with to Chesang Continent.
I know they’re filled with deep contempt for what I’ve done.”
Liu Zhenhan wasn’t expecting such blunt admission from the old rascal, and was left dumbfounded.
“The risk of giving up my honor to serve you, Lord Richard, is not entirely…” Ferguson Xu seized the perfect timing to speak.
“You want to give you that piece of dragon at, don’t you?” Liu Zhenhan interjected, raising his eyebrows like a cross-blade.
“Your wisdom could illuminate the entire sky,” Ferguson Xu nodded, his face beaming with a satisfied smile.
“Are the conditions you previously offered unchanged?”
“Unchanged, all of them.
They can’t return with to the Chesang Continent.
No matter what, I won’t let them return to Chesang,” Ferguson Xu’s face briefly flashed with a ferocious expression.
“I have a mining village and fiefdom in the Bimon Kingdom that would take a bird three days to fly across.
Honestly, I have no shortage of brave warriors and servants under ,” said Liu Zhenhan, trying to subtly dig more information out of the old man.
“If you don’t need them, I will take care of them,” Ferguson Xu paused before adding: “They once pledged their lives to in loyalty; loyalty, such a foolish yet noble term…but it saves a lot of trouble…
However, I must advise you, they are the best warriors and descendants of our clan.
I heard your country has a gladiator arena and brothels.
These Panta Warriors can be sent to be gladiators; their bodies and martial skills can bring you countless gold coins.
These won can also be sold into the brothels; I believe many nobles would be interested…”
“Stop!” Liu Zhenhan, seething with anger, grabbed the despicable old man by the collar and yanked him off the ground.
His temples pulsated violently as he struggled to resist the temptation to throw him into the sea.
A few panda warriors dropped what they were doing and ran over.
Gude, tall and sturdy, spread his arms to stop them.
“Sir!” Gude spoke from a distance, “Mr.
Xu is still our leader, we hope you can show him enough respect, as that will also be a sign of respect for us Panta Warriors.”
Gasping for breath, Liu Zhenhan angrily released his grip.
“Lord Richard, I only spoke the truth.
There is no need for your noble self to be so agitated over these humble lives,” Ferguson Xu adjusted his collar, his face adorned with a joyful smile.
“For you, I’ve offended the Sea Clan, making it nearly impossible for to return to my hotown aboard this ship,” Ferguson Xu continued.
“I hope when you return to the Bimon Kingdom, you could allocate so gold coins from the mining village profits to , so that I can take an Aegean Continent trade ship back to the Chesang Continent.”
“I have money?
Where did you get the idea that I have money?
I’m short on cash myself!” Liu Zhenhan sneered continuously.
“All Bimon priests have mining villages and lands assigned by the temple, most of them have noble titles.
Considering your extraordinary strength in battle hymns, there’s no way the temple wouldn’t favor you.
How could you not have money?
Sir!
I’ve done so much for you, can’t you show a bit of generosity?” Ferguson Xu urged, his face stretched long in anticipation.
“Let’s not talk about money, talking about money cheapens us.
Who are we kidding here, right?” Liu Zhenhan responded.
“What I want to know now is how you’ll explain this whole affair to Ning Yu.
Though I haven’t known her for long, I can tell she’s stubborn and sticks to her words.
You know what she said before; if you force her to do sothing she doesn’t want to, she would rather pay with her life to break the promise.”
Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes.
“I admit, I confess frankly that I’m a bit pleased with what happened today, and I don’t really hold anything against you.
But I want to know, how will you explain everything to Ning Yu?
With the Clam Girl’s intelligence, it wouldn’t be hard for her to figure out this was your doing!
To think she trusted you so much!”
“If she gets desperate and really wants to use her life to fulfill her promise, then let her fulfill it.
The sacrifice is within the acceptable range in pursuit of the elixir,” said Ferguson Xu, his words carrying a bone-chilling coldness akin to the icy Andes wind.
“You’re impressive!” Liu Zhenhan raised his thumb, his facial muscles twitched subtly.
“Are we agreed then?”
“We can talk about other things, but I’m broke.
I’m just a poor man,” Liu Zhenhan tugged at his wolf pelt blanket, “This is all I own.”
Ferguson Xu chuckled coldly, pointing at Guoguo, who was running around on deck chasing an osprey, and said, “You can afford to put an expensive necklace made from the crystal of middle-level magical beasts on a pet, but you’re reluctant to provide with so funds for return?
My Lord, are you really a Piegel?
It feels like I’m dealing with a cunning fox of a rchant!”
Hehe… Liu Zhenhan chuckled darkly, thinking, damn, you’re asking for it.
Don’t bla .
“Alright!” Liu Zhenhan yelled: “If it’s about money, just na your price, you can collect it directly from my finance official!”
“Thank you so much, sir.” Ferguson Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wait, what about the ring you promised ?” Liu Zhenhan rembered, “It seems you forgot to ntion it just now?”
“No, I can’t give you the ring!” Ferguson Xu tightly covered the ring on his hand, refusing without hesitation.
“Really?” Liu Zhenhan asked seriously.
“No!”
“Screw you!
If you’re not exchanging, then forget it!” Liu Zhenhan scolded, standing with his hands on his hips, “Without the ring, there’s nothing to discuss!”
“Lord Richard!” Ferguson Xu beca anxious, “How can you do this?
I have done so much for you to prove my sincerity, how can you react this way?”
A smug smile rose at the corner of Liu Zhenhan’s lips.
“Think about it, My Lord of Rituals!” Ferguson Xu looked at the Piegel, tilting his head.
“Then give a hundred of those pills called ‘Red Lead’.” Liu Zhenhan said sneakily.
The old man’s charm worked, Liu Zhenhan was unable to refuse, and had to lower his demands.
“My god…” The old man moaned painfully, “A Yunqin alchemist can only produce a few ‘Red Lead’ pills in a year!
You’re asking for a hundred, without the ingredients, even if you give ten more years, I won’t be able to make one!”
“This is not acceptable, that is not acceptable, what do you want to do?
You have a ring on each hand, four golden figures, can’t you give two?
If this continues, I won’t exchange!
I’m telling you this for the last ti.
I want to emphasize, this is the last chance!
Damn it!” Liu Zhenhan, showing his ruffian side, was ready to break off the conversation.
He rolled up his sleeves, with a corner of his eyes searching for the anchoring stones on the ground.
“It’s not that I don’t want to exchange, it’s that I really can’t!” Ferguson Xu grabbed Liu Zhenhan’s arm, afraid that he would leave, “Our golden figures are our biggest advantage when dealing with the outside world, without them, I lack the confidence to face the unknown world.”
“Are you thinking, once you get the dragon at, you’ll eat half of it, then take the rest of the dragon at and golden figures back to your settlent, bring the rest of your clan, return to the Silk Continent, using these invincible golden figures, create your own kingdom, then slowly enjoy it?” Liu Zhenhan winked at Ferguson Xu.
“You…” Ferguson Xu stuttered for a long ti, without making himself clear.
“This is just my guess.” Liu Zhenhan laughed.
