Disciple, go down the mountain and wreak havoc on your martial sister
Chapter 60 - 60 59 Admitting Defeat

60: Chapter 59: Admitting Defeat 60: Chapter 59: Admitting Defeat “Negotiate business?”

The patriarch of the Zheng family furrowed his brow, “You killed people from our Zheng family, took our belongings, and now you want to negotiate business with me?!

You wish!”

He certainly had a temper, worthy of the ruthless man who had led the Zheng family to its current position.

However…

Chu Yi smiled faintly and whispered, “I just counted, there are over sixty people in this hall, all direct members of your Zheng family, right?”

The Zheng family patriarch’s expression hardened, “What are you trying to say?!”

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows at him and said coolly, “I heard the bounty you promised for those lying on the floor wasn’t small, over six hundred million, right?

If you transfer that sum to my account right now, I’ll spare the lives of everyone here.

How about that?”

At those words, even someone as composed as the Zheng family patriarch couldn’t hide his shock.

“Do you realize what you’re saying?

That’s over sixty people!

Even if our Zheng family did some wrongful deeds, there are innocent people among them!

You actually want to kill them?”

Chu Yi shook his finger and said, “No, no, no, this is business!

Six hundred million to buy the lives of over sixty direct members of your Zheng family—what a deal!

Of course, if you think the Zheng family can spare these sixty-odd people, then forget I said anything.

Please, have a seat while I get to work.”

With that, Chu Yi drew out a dagger, twirling it with style in his hand as he walked towards the crowd.

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, the Zheng family patriarch couldn’t keep his composure.

“You, you stop right there!

I agree to your terms!”

Chu Yi’s mouth curled up as he turned around and extended a finger, “You have five minutes.

If the money isn’t in my account, one person dies every minute.”

As he spoke, he beckoned to a young man nearby, “You, come here.”

Zheng Jiahao, having been singled out, was instantly struck by terror, his mind going blank.

He had thought he was well-hidden, that he might slip through unnoticed, but…

Expectations are plush, reality is skeletal.

Chu Yi seized him by the hair and pressed him down in front of the patriarch, the blade of the dagger resting on his neck, “Take out the phone, let me see…

It’s 11:25 now, when the clock ticks to 11:31, we’ll say our goodbyes.”

Zheng Jiahao collapsed to the ground, spiritless and forlorn, his eyes lifeless.

Why is this happening?

I must be dreaming!

Please wake up, this nightmare is too terrifying…

As the Zheng family patriarch watched his own grandson with a blade to his neck right before him, his expression shifted rapidly.

Though he is a useless fellow, good for nothing, but…

He is his own grandson!

In the end, he sighed deeply and sat back down on his chair, appearing to age ten years in an instant.

“Qi Shi, make the transfer.”

Upon hearing the family head was about to fork out six hundred million to a stranger for no good reason, the members of the Zheng family present grew restless.

“Grandfather!

Calm down!

That’s not a small amount of money.”

“Yes, we’re currently facing suppression from the Han Corporation; every bit of money is crucial!”

“Uncle, please reconsider!”

…

Hearing his own relatives seemingly ready to sacrifice him for money, Zheng Jiahao felt an instant sense of despair.

It’s over; even the family has abandoned me…

Just as he was feeling utterly hopeless, the Zheng family patriarch suddenly rapped his cane.

“Nonsense!

How can you even utter such words?

Isn’t Zheng Jiahao your brother and sister?

Is this how you treat family?”

Seeing the patriarch’s anger, everyone fell silent.

But the look in their eyes clearly showed their dissatisfaction; giving away six hundred million for someone of little use was an outrageous waste.

However, father and son, Qi Shi and Zheng Jiahao, were deeply moved, their eyes reddening as they looked at the Zheng family patriarch.

“Dad…”

“Grandfather…”

Observing their act of “I scold and beat you, but I also care about you,” Chu Yi’s eyebrows knotted in distaste.

This sort of familial affection was at the top of his list of dislikes!

Whoosh!

The dagger slashed suddenly, bringing up a spray of blood and a right ear.

“Ah!”

Zheng Jiahao, who had been touched, suddenly clutched his right ear and wailed uncontrollably, blood oozing between his fingers.

“What are you doing!”

Old Master Zheng was instantly horrified and cried out in an angry and shocked accusation.

“What are you all doing?

I asked you to get the money ready.

Why are you putting on a show for me?”

Chu Yi flicked off the blood and spoke with a chilling expression.

“You…”

Old Master Zheng wanted to retort but was cut off.

Chu Yi stepped on Zheng Jiahao’s back, bent down to grab his left ear, and pressed the blade against it.

“You have three minutes left.”

With his facial muscles twitching, Old Master Zheng’s blood pressure soared, and finally, he gestured with difficulty, “Qi Shi, stop dawdling, go get the money!

Use the funds we just prepared for the project.”

“But… isn’t that project led by the officials?”

Zheng Qishi said somewhat nervously.

It would be quite a spectacle to move funds about when it’s been emphasized by the officials.

“Now is not the time to worry about that, hurry!”

“Yes, sir!”

Hearing his father’s firm tone, Zheng Qishi said no more and immediately went to make a phone call.

Moments later, he sent over the account information Chu Yi had inquired about.

At this moment, it was already 11:38 PM.

“You’re three minutes over time, you can go first.”

As he said this, Chu Yi raised the dagger in his hand toward Zheng Jiahao’s neck.

Just at that moment, Old Master Zheng called out anxiously, “Wait a minute!

I’ll give you an extra three million, how does that sound?”

They really had a lot of money.

Chu Yi thought to himself, but as soon as he recalled the Zheng Family’s actions recorded in that file, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of anger rise within him.

It was all ill-gotten money anyway!

“I’ll give you five more minutes.”

Considering the money, Chu Yi extended the deadline and noticed that Zheng Jiahao visibly sighed in relief.

But the expressions on the rest of the Zheng Family members grew increasingly somber.

Handing over six hundred million for a return would be one thing, but now, they were just rescuing a lazy freeloader.

It just wasn’t fair!

Did being a legitimate descendant mean he could do whatever he pleased?

As they were barely suppressing their anger, Zheng Qishi hurried back, seeming to have settled the money issue.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Chu Yi’s phone vibrated.

[…Your account has just received 603,000,000 yuan…]

Chu Yi felt his heartbeat quicken; this was his first time acquiring over a hundred million and he couldn’t help but get a little excited.

First to buy Wen Family’s treasured sword, then to craft some other stuff…

Oh, and also get a driver’s license and buy a car, so it wouldn’t be inconvenient to go anywhere.

In high spirits, Chu Yi shoved Zheng Jiahao away, “He’s yours now.

If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, bring them on.

I welcome retaliation!”

Old Master Zheng’s mouth twitched.

Retaliation?

They had already spent over six hundred million today, and now retaliation?

Even if the Zheng Family was wealthy, they couldn’t sustain this kind of spending!

“We won’t!

From now on, we’ll mind our own business, how about that?”

Old Master Zheng actually cowered!
