Super Gene Hunting Ground

Duan Jinjiang calculated in his heart, the Dark Web didn’t complete the task of killing Yang Xiao, besides returning the 100 million Crystal Disks commission, they also have to compensate 100 million, just right 200 million.

Yang Xiao looked at Duan Jinjiang and smiled slightly,

"Chairman Duan, I sent two guards back to you a few days ago. Didn’t they pass my message to you?"

Duan Jinjiang was stunned, his face ashen.

Yang Xiao initially asked for 1 billion Crystal Disks.

"Well, Lord Yang, 1 billion Crystal Disks, our Trade Union really can’t afford it. That’s not a small sum, you know. A City Lord operates a city for decades, accumulating one or two billion Crystal Disks outside of daily expenses is lucky,

Our Trade Union might seem bustling, but the expenditures are too large, so we can’t accumulate much money either."

"Yes, indeed. You’d rather spend 100 million Crystal Disks hiring the Dark Web to kill me, than donate 100 million Crystal Disks to redeem your brothers and subordinates."

Duan Jinjiang broke out in a cold sweat all over, awkwardly saying:

"Lord Yang, it’s a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding. I didn’t hire any assassin to kill you. Perhaps, someone else wants you dead. After all, you’ve conquered five cities in a row, killed a lot of people, it’s understandable for someone to hate you."

"At this stage, does Chairman Duan want me to bring out a few Dark Web assassins to confront you face-to-face? I caught quite a few assassins trying to kill me these days, they’ve already told me everything,

Besides, do you think I’m stupid? With what you’ve done, even a fool could guess."

Duan Jinjiang: "..."

Duan Jinjiang has led the Vulture Chamber of Commerce for over twenty years, never has he encountered a setback like today.

Yang Xiao glanced over at the thousands of guards behind Duan Jinjiang, coldly snorted, and said:

"Chairman Duan, do you believe I can annihilate you and all your men within an hour, leaving you all dead here and erasing the Vulture Chamber of Commerce from the Central Continent?"

"Buzz!"

Duan Jinjiang’s mind shook, buzzing.

The Second Elder and others behind him also trembled all over, their faces ashen.

At this moment, they had no choice but to believe Yang Xiao’s words.

Duan Jinjiang gritted his teeth and said:

"Lord Yang, it’s our Vulture Chamber of Commerce’s fault, I admit it, five billion Crystal Disks, I’m willing to give you five billion as compensation. This is the highest amount we can produce from the Vulture Chamber, anymore, and there’s really nothing left. Even if you kill us, there’s no more."

Yang Xiao didn’t originally expect to extort 10 billion Crystal Disks.

billion Crystal Disks are indeed an astronomical number in the Central Continent, not something ordinary people can summon.

Being able to extort 2 or 3 billion Crystal Disks from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce is satisfactory.

What use is killing?

Securing the money is the way forward, expanding the City of Hope requires capital.

Crystal Disks are hard currency, not paper money, not something you print more of at will, extracted from the Demon Beast Crystal Core, a precious evolution resource itself.

Across Dwarf Star, Crystal Disks are universally accepted.

Yang Xiao sighed, looking at Duan Jinjiang,

"Alas, I’m just soft-hearted, can’t stand seeing others claim hardship. Alright, five billion it is, after all, money is something that neither comes with birth nor departure at death. Earned too much but lacking the fortune to enjoy, doesn’t it sound pointless?"

Duan Jinjiang pulled the expression like he’d been dogged.

You damn, compensating you with five billion Crystal Disks, you still appear so aggrieved, like I’ve cheated you out of five billion.

Yang Xiao looked at Duan Jinjiang’s desolate expression and said:

"Chairman Duan, do you think I want this money? Let me tell you, in that war, tens of thousands died in the City of Hope, many lost husbands and fathers, leaving widows and orphans needing care,

The money is just their support fund, and I still have schools to build, offering children free education until eighteen,

Do you think it’s easy for me?

Not easy at all!"

Duan Jinjiang: "@#￥%"

The Second Elder Ma Xiaotian couldn’t stand listening any longer, afraid he’d retaliate against Yang Xiao and curse. He quickly said:

"Ahem, Lord Yang, isn’t this a misunderstanding? Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, can we leave?"

"Of course. Oh right, when will you send over the money? Did you bring the money today?"

Duan Jinjiang and the Second Elder looked embarrassed.

Bring your MB here, today I haven’t brought even a dime, originally came to collect your corpse, but God knows you haven’t died!

"Well... Lord Yang, we came in a rush today without bringing money, besides, five billion Crystal Disks aren’t a small number. We need to pool it, some parts need borrowing,

Give us a few days, once collected, we’ll deliver it to you immediately."

Yang Xiao’s face changed,

"Hey, credibility is crucial. A few days ago, I sent someone to deliver the message, asked you to prepare ten billion Crystal Disks to redeem people, yet after days you come with not a cent?"

Duan Jinjiang felt he had never been this embarrassed in his life, sweat pouring down his forehead, and Yang Xiao was absurdly self-righteous about the extortion, really TM rare.

Even Elder Qi, Black Wood, and others looked baffled, secretly gloating while eyeing Yang Xiao.

They had never imagined extorting five billion Crystal Disks could succeed from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce.

Yang Xiao’s initial ten billion ransom proposal, Elder Qi and others thought impossible, fanciful.

Seeing Chairman Duan being forced by Yang Xiao into such embarrassment today, internally they wanted to laugh but had to control themselves.

And Yang Xiao, this damned performance artist, intensely lecturing Chairman Duan, making youngsters like Chen Peng struggle to turn away and laugh loudly into handkerchiefs.

The Second Elder Ma Xiaotian said:

"Lord Yang, we’ll immediately go arrange for you, within five days,"

"Five days?" Yang Xiao deliberately shouted in surprise.

The Second Elder was stunned, immediately corrected:

"Three days, within three days we’ll bring you the money."

Yang Xiao looked at Duan Jinjiang,

"Chairman Duan, within three days, can you?"

Duan Jinjiang now only wanted to depart from Yang Xiao the poser, immediately said:

"Yes, yes, I guarantee it with my honor."

"Honor? Do you even have honor?"

"..."

"You thought I was killed by Dark Web assassins, that’s why you didn’t bring money for ransom, even thinking the City of Hope might be disrupted, planning to seize my city, right?

Oh, and you expected Mr. Master from the Dark Web to kill me, didn’t you?"

"..."

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I can frankly tell you, last night, Mr. Master from the Dark Web really came to find me."

Duan Jinjiang was shocked, eyes widened, staring at Yang Xiao, breathing quickly, desperate to know the result of Yang Xiao’s meeting with Mr. Master last night.

"Mr. Master of the Dark Web indeed has strong combat power, but I’m sorry to tell you, I defeated him."

Yang Xiao said this lightly, yet Duan Jinjiang and others heard it like an ear-piercing thunder.

The dreadful Mr. Master was defeated by Yang Xiao?

Had Duan Jinjiang known, he wouldn’t have bothered, just come with money to redeem directly from Yang Xiao, or sought help from the Central Continent’s three Demon City Lords.

Duan Jinjiang’s last hope was shattered by Yang Xiao, his face ashen.

Originally hoping Mr. Master would suddenly appear to save the defeat, now truly no hope.

"I’m giving you one last chance, stay here for a few days in the City of Hope, send a few back to get money, bring over five billion Crystal Disks within three days,

Otherwise, after three days, I’ll make sure every one of you falls in the City of Hope, avenging my fallen brothers."

Duan Jinjiang and others heard this, faces ashen.

Originally thinking to escape first and then think of measures, damn it, Yang Xiao is truly a shrewd man!
