Chapter 1022: My Broadsword Has Already Been Eagerly Awaiting
"Kid, how dare you threaten me?!"
Watching Qin Tian holding a dagger triumphantly pointed at Zhou Zixing, Shangguan Zhenxiong trembled with rage.
Over the decades, he had encountered various martial arts experts; the higher one's martial arts skills, the higher their self-restraint and morals, like Murong Bei. Even though they fought to the death, they were always gentlemanly.
But now this Qin Tian dared to threaten people with a knife and demanded compensation—it was truly abominable! So disgraceful!
"Heh, I don't have many hobbies, just like threatening people. What, not convinced?"
Looking at the furious Shangguan Zhenxiong, Qin Tian laughed.
This old guy, aren't you trying to show off? I'm just not going to let you have your way!
"Compensate or not, Shangguan Zhenxiong, I'll give you five seconds to decide. But, a little reminder," Qin Tian said, shaking the Dragon Blood Dagger, "My big knife has been itching for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhenxiong's face twitched.
"Tell me, how do you want to compensate."
After all, these two apprentices were carefully selected and cultivated by him in prison; their martial arts strength far surpassed ordinary martial arts practitioners. Such strength couldn't be measured with money. So, in fact, Shangguan Zhenxiong didn't hesitate and directly addressed Qin Tian.
Qin Tian scratched his head, pretending to ponder, and said, "Hmm... My Number One Club here, you should know, was once the mansion of ancient nobles. Every flower and blade of grass here is priceless. Anyway, since you've demolished the entire club today, I won't make it difficult for you; I'll give you a friendly price—five billion. Five billion is a fair compensation."
Swoosh!
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhenxiong's expression instantly changed!
Zhou Zixing and Ye Shaoyu's faces also twitched.
Even Xiao Zhuang, upon hearing it, opened his mouth, thinking, five billion, the boss is a bit too ruthless, the entire Number One Club is only worth a little over ten billion, and the Shangguan family's people just did a bit of damage inside, the broken things are worth at most a few million... and the boss wants them to pay five billion?!
What a businessman, the boss. Xiao Zhuang chuckled internally and glanced at Shangguan Zhenxiong, only to see his face turned blue.
This old guy, probably never been toyed with like this before.
"What, touched by my friendly price?"
Seeing Shangguan Zhenxiong saying nothing, Qin Tian stared at him and laughed.
"Five billion... why don't you just become a bandit!"
Shangguan Zhenxiong snorted coldly.
"Haha, you're right, I am a bandit, specializing in robbing the rich to give to the poor." Qin Tian waved the Dragon Blood Dagger and continued, "If I can't rob the rich to help the poor, I tend to spill blood at the slightest disagreement."
While speaking, Qin Tian menacingly sliced the Dragon Blood Dagger lightly across Zhou Zixing's throat, instantly leaving a blood mark. Zhou Zixing trembled in fear and cried out desperately, "Master..."
Shangguan Zhenxiong ignored the plea for help from Zhou Zixing, his eyes fixed on Qin Tian, saying, "Although the Shangguan family is rich and doesn't care about a few billion, for you to try making me, Shangguan Zhenxiong, pay in this manner is absolutely impossible!"
As he spoke, Shangguan Zhenxiong stepped forward.
Qin Tian was always vigilantly watching Shangguan Zhenxiong. Seeing him quietly moving forward, he immediately realized Shangguan Zhenxiong was gauging the distance, and once he reached a certain range, he would launch a sudden attack, which Qin Tian might find hard to counter.
"Hmph, hmph, I warned you not to move forward; it's your own doing!"
Qin Tian didn't say much, glaring coldly at Shangguan Zhenxiong with his words, then fiercely stomped down with his right foot, directly crushing Ye Shaoyu's left ankle lying on the ground!
Crack!
Qin Tian's stomp was full of force, the sound crisp, causing Ye Shaoyu to scream miserably, shaking all over!
Ye Shaoyu's left foot was directly crippled by Qin Tian!
"Master... Master... ah..."
Ye Shaoyu rolled painfully, yet was still tread under Qin Tian's foot, looking helplessly at Shangguan Zhenxiong: "Master, save me..."
"You, you..."
Shangguan Zhenxiong trembled with anger, "Qin Tian, you scoundrel, you dare, you dare to harm my apprentice!"
"Heh heh, you're welcome, you're welcome. Old Deuce, if the Shangguan family doesn't care about these two's lives, then waste two bullets on them and finish them off right here."
Qin Tian completely ignored Shangguan Zhenxiong's fury, instead turning to Xiao Zhuang and saying calmly.
"Got it."
Xiao Zhuang understood, pulled out a handgun, and walked directly towards Ye Shaoyu.
"Five billion, five billion it is!"
At this time, after some calculations, Shangguan Zhenxiong finally caved in.
His face extremely grim, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay, you release my two apprentices."
Although Ye Shaoyu's foot was seriously injured under Qin Tian's stomp, Shangguan Zhenxiong was confident that with some time, he could be healed.
Seeing Qin Tian truly about to kill, Shangguan Zhenxiong clenched his fist and compromised.
His two apprentices could earn him more money, at least ten billion; he could only minimize the loss.
In fact, Shangguan Zhenxiong's anger wasn't really about the money, but his dignity. Having even handled Murong Bei, being toyed with by a young man was a bit shameful.
"Should have said so sooner, I think you were deliberately letting your two disciples suffer some abuse, waiting until we injured them before you agreed. You schemer."
Upon hearing Shangguan Zhenxiong's compromise, Qin Tian laughed heartily.
And that laugh made the veins on Shangguan Zhenxiong's forehead pulse.
"Hurry and let them go!"
Shangguan Zhenxiong gritted his teeth in anger, determined to kill this loathsome fellow once Qin Tian released the hostages!
"What's the rush, calm down. I always prefer making a transaction: money first, goods later. You pay first."
Qin Tian wasn't anxious, sure that Shangguan Zhenxiong, fresh out of prison and eager to seize the leadership role of the Shangguan Family, needed to cultivate loyal followers.
And his two apprentices were naturally the best candidates; there was no way Shangguan Zhenxiong would let Qin Tian just finish them off.
Immediately, Shangguan Zhenxiong called to have three Shangguan Family companies gather five billion in bank deposits and transfer it to the account Qin Tian provided.
An hour later, Shangguan Zhenxiong, still emanating murderous intent, demanded, "Now, can you release them?!"
"Of course, hmm, in the future, I think we can do more of this kind of business." Qin Tian chuckled at Shangguan Zhenxiong.
Shangguan Zhenxiong: "..."
Xiao Zhuang stood by with the gun, ensuring safety, while Qin Tian pushed Zhou Zixing and Ye Shaoyu back to Shangguan Zhenxiong.
The four black-clothed men by Shangguan Zhenxiong quickly rushed to support Zhou Zixing and took them to the hospital.
With the matter resolved, Shangguan Zhenxiong tightly clenched his fist, glared at Qin Tian, murderously saying:
"Now, Qin Tian, it's time for me to settle accounts with you!"
