Chen Shu said calmly, "That's none of your business. You just need to pay up!"
"Fine! Ten million, we accept it!"
The Tianhe clan leader nodded. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and never see Chen Shu again in his life.
Chen Shu smiled and said, "Next, it's my nuclear bomb fees. You need to reimburse me!"
The two clan leaders were a bit stunned and asked, "What fees?"
"It's for the nuclear bombs that blew up your stronghold. Did you really think I'd blow it up for free?"
Bang!
The two clan leaders' chests felt suddenly heavy, and they fell straight down, their limbs occasionally twitching.
"..."
Qin Tian and the Beiyuan Governor exchanged glances, feeling a bit of sympathy for the others.
This guy could really talk people to death!
"Don't play dead! It's useless!"
Chen Shu pouted and said, "If you two die, I'll go to your families to collect the debt!"
"Please, just be a decent person!"
The Tianhe clan leader looked utterly disheartened, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
This was completely beyond human decency!
What did he mean by "blowing it up for free"? So this was a paid service all along?
Chen Shu frowned and said, "What did I do? Your words are insulting my character!"
The Tianhe clan leader said dejectedly, "May I ask how much you want for the nuclear bombs?"
"You know, space channels are incredibly stable. It's not easy to blow them up in one go!"
Chen Shu said seriously, "We're actually old friends. How about this, I'll give you a friendly price: fifty billion!"
"Heh heh~~ Heh heh~~"
The Tianhe clan leader actually started laughing, his eyes vacant and dull, clearly driven mad by anger.
"It's over, he's really gone mad..."
Qin Tian and the others looked on with sympathy. If they were in his shoes, they would probably be driven to fainting as well.
Now, he felt a bit fortunate that Chen Shu was on his side...
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your default agreement!"
Chen Shu took out a pen and started recording, then continued, "Now, we can discuss my mental damages, food expenses, nutrition fees..."
"Why don't you just kill us instead!"
The two clan leaders said in unison, a look of deathly resolve in their eyes.
If this torture continued, they would truly go insane!
Chen Shu said matter-of-factly, "If I kill you, who will I extort?"
"..."
The two of them widened their eyes, their brains about to burst with blood.
In the end, after a round of bargaining, the two clan leaders successfully signed an IOU for eighty billion...
"What good people!"
Chen Shu waved at their retreating backs and shouted, "Come visit again when you have time!!"
The two stumbled, almost falling to the ground, and glared back at him fiercely.
Qin Tian and the other sighed, "They've even had their family's underwear stripped away!"
The Dark Element Sprite glanced deeply at Chen Shu before transforming into a shadow and vanishing into the stronghold.
"Principal, why is he looking at me like that?"
Chen Shu's body trembled, and he scratched his head, looking perplexed.
Governor Yu said, "Perhaps he's preparing to go back and discuss an arrest plan with the old man..."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Was it really that serious?
...
At this time, the two clan leaders, mentally shaken, returned to their families' contingent.
"Clan leader, how did it go?"
"Do we need to hand over half of the Golden Kings?"
Everyone gathered around, eagerly inquiring.
"Half?"
The Tianhe clan leader's eyes twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "We... our underwear has been stripped away!"
"..."
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand for a moment.
Clan leader Ren Yuan stepped forward and calmly explained what had happened at the negotiation table.
"What? Not only do we have to hand over the spoils from the ruins, but we also have to give them the things we're carrying?!"
"And the family signed an IOU for eighty billion?!"
Everyone was aghast, unable to accept it. They had truly been cleaned out!
Someone muttered, "Why were bandits mixed into the negotiation table..."
"How the hell should I know?!"
The Tianhe clan leader roared, his anger still unquenched.
A perfectly good negotiation had turned into an extortion session. Where could they even go to seek justice for this?
Someone tentatively asked, "Clan leader, can we refuse to hand it over..."
"Then you can stay in the Ice Fire Forest forever!"
The Tianhe clan leader gave him a cold look and said no more.
The next morning,
The members of the two great families obediently came to the stronghold and handed over the treasures they were carrying.
Beside the exit, the corpse of a King-level beast, a hundred meters in size, lay there. Its body was severely damaged, clearly having been pieced together temporarily.
It not only lacked the scent of blood and flesh but also emitted a refreshing musk.
"Two clan leaders, your spoils of war... they're really moist!"
Chen Shu lay sprawled on it in a 'big' shape, his limbs spread out, looking extremely pleased.
Seeing this, the expressions of the two great families instantly shattered.
However, with two King-level beast tamers present, and an unknown legendary-level contracted spirit, they dared not act rashly and could only endure in silence.
"By the way, where's Yamamoto No?"
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "I really want to introduce him to the factory!"
"He's dead!"
The Tianhe clan leader said coldly, "You've already killed one of our Golden Beast Tamers!"
"What Golden rank, he was clearly Foundation rank!"
Chen Shu pouted and said, "Are you trying to pick a fight here?"
"..."
Everyone's mouths twitched. Even in death, Yamamoto No had to be insulted.
Are you here to desecrate his corpse?
An hour later, a group of people had handed over their respective treasures.
The members of the two great families looked crestfallen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
The wind in the Ice Fire Forest today was particularly cold.
"Alright, you can leave now! We'll have someone escort you out of the territory!"
Qin Tian said with a smile, "Don't have any ulterior motives, otherwise, no one can protect you!"
Causing trouble in an alien space might not be much.
But if they went to the Blue Star territory and caused destruction, the severity of the matter would be different.
Even if both Kings were killed, the Sakura Country wouldn't say anything.
Chen Shu grinned and said warmly, "Don't be too discouraged. I've prepared a surprise for you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's bodies trembled, and they immediately became a little flustered.
"You... you wouldn't have buried a nuclear bomb at the space exit, would you?"
Gaoqiao Chuan's eyes showed a hint of terror. The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
Hearing this, even Qin Tian and the others turned to look, their eyes filled with suspicion.
Could this guy really be serious?
"Why is everyone looking at me like this?!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched and he said, "Am I that inhuman?"
He hadn't expected that even Qin Tian and the others were starting to believe it...
