584: Chapter 573 584: Chapter 573 Song Yun arrived at a small reception room next to his office with Da Long and the Scarred Woman.
This reception room had clearly been unaffected by the explosion, so a lot of the things inside were still intact.
“Take a seat,” Song Yun said from his seat in the boss’s chair, gesturing to Da Long.
After Da Long sat down, still a bit shaken, he said, “Brother Song, whatever your demands are, just ask.
If it’s within my power, I’ll agree.
But there are some matters that are not for me to decide.
You might not be aware, but there’s a chance Lei Long is still alive.”
“Hehe, no rush, no rush.
Let’s take our time and settle the accounts,” Song Yun replied with a smile.
“First of all, I have no idea how you managed to ascend to the Regent King of Fierce Tiger, then colluded with both the inside and the outside forces and secretly worked with Gulang to capture Lei Long, who wasn’t yet dead, before driving him off, which ultimately led to the death of Brother Lei Long.
I had deep brotherly ties with Lei Long, and naturally, I need to avenge him.
My brother under my command also wishes to avenge Lei Long.
Although the main plotters are Gulang and those from Yanjing, as an accomplice, you played a significant role as well.
For this, you owe us compensation.
I’m not wrong, am I?”
“No, you’re not wrong!” Da Long nodded but cursed inwardly: “You and Lei Long had deep brotherly ties?
My ass!
When he was being beaten within an inch of his life and could only escape Sunan, where were you?
Chasing girls, that’s where!
And you talk about brotherly ties?”
“This is the first point that I’ve made note of.
The second point is, you’ve repeatedly plotted against me with Gulang, frequently putting me in danger.
You have to compensate me for this, right?” Song Yun held up two fingers as he spoke.
“All those were done by Gulang; I swear I knew nothing about it!” Da Long protested, feeling aggrieved, which was indeed the case since he hadn’t been privy to many of Gulang’s plans against Song Yun.
Gulang was always the one giving the orders, never consulting him about the details.
All directives were handed down directly to him, with instructions to carry them out.
“Heh, you say ‘no’ and it’s supposed to be ‘no’?” Song Yun shook his head.
“I’ve heard it all from Gulang.
You were involved in those plots!
The mastermind has pointed the finger at you.
Do you still want to argue?”
“Point the finger at your sister!” Da Long cursed silently again.
“Gulang would tell you?
Do you think Gulang is a pig?” But he kept the curses to himself since his life was in someone else’s hands, and Da Long conceded, “Fine then, let’s say I was involved.”
“That’s more like it.
That’s the second point.
The third point, look, you’ve come here in such a hurry following Gulang’s lead to mess with me.
This is no small matter.
If I hadn’t been prepared, I might have died already.
This directly concerns my life and property.
You have to compensate me for this too, right?”
“You’re right!” Da Long nodded in agreement.
He knew he had indeed come with his people to mess with Song Yun.
If their temperaments had been worse, he might have already been sent off to the crematorium by now.
If it were him, anyone who tried to mess with him would have gotten a taste of their own medicine.
“This is the third point.
The fourth point, my brothers and men have been injured because of your arrival.
Many were hurt by your people.
You need to compensate me for this too.” Song Yun held up four fingers.
“OK, no problem.” Da Long was too lazy to explain and just nodded his agreement.
“And there’s a fifth point.” Song Yun slowly raised a fifth finger.
“When you guys plotted against me, my woman was also scared out of her wits.
So, you’ll need to cover her comfort fee as well.”
“This…” Da Long wanted to say something, but in the end, gave in.
“Alright then.
I’ll take that on, too.”
“The sixth point,” Song Yun continued, raising another finger in Da Long’s indecisive gaze, “is that you and your people have destroyed so much stuff in my office.
You should compensate me for that, right?”
“Dammit, what the hell did we destroy?
That mess was caused by you yourself!
What does it have to do with me?!” Da Long was practically driven mad by Song Yun’s accusations.
He wished he could be granted thousands of years’ worth of power from above so he could send Song Yun to the planet Namek with an energy blast.
But…
with a sigh of resignation, Da Long lamented, “Gulang, why did you die so quickly?”
“The sixth point, aren’t you willing to compensate?” Song Yun asked.
“Fine, I’ll pay!” Da Long gritted his teeth.
“Good.
Now, the seventh point.
All this fighting we’ve been doing late at night is also disturbing the peace, isn’t it?
Although the nearby residents are mostly staff from the Shura Alliance and they have families too.
You need to cover this public disturbance comfort fee,” Song Yun said with an air of composure.
“Fine!” Da Long said succinctly, feeling that if he talked any more with Song Yun, he might die of frustration before Song Yun could lay a finger on him.
“The eighth point, there’s also the upper-level activity cost.
I’ve gone to great lengths to ensure you guys couldn’t get to me, not knowing how much money I’ve spent.
You must compensate me for this too.” Song Yun stated.
“Fine!”
“The ninth point is the hush money.
With all this commotion tonight, some media are bound to come around.
You’ll have to cover that too, right?” Song Yun asked.
“Hush your sister!
With just a word from you, who would dare to gossip?
You’re charging twice for the same thing!
Aren’t you acting just like the officials?!” Da Long was on the verge of tears, but catching Song Yun’s murderous gaze, he withheld his words and instead nodded, “I’ll pay.”
“The tenth point involves our weapons and the costs of environmental cleanup.
All these need money.
I’ll lump them together instead of going through them one by one.
That should cover it.
Oh, and you also need to pay for the use of that desk.
It saved your life, you wouldn’t be rude enough not to thank it, right?” Song Yun asked.
“Alright, alright, I’ll pay for everything!” Da Long responded desperately.
“That’s good.
After a quick tally, adding all the compensation together, you owe me this amount.” Song Yun picked up a calculator, punched in a few numbers, and handed it to Da Long.
Da Long looked at the long string of digits on the calculator display and nearly passed out.
“I could sell everything I own and still couldn’t pay this!” Da Long wailed.
“You don’t have the money?
Then I can only do it myself,” Song Yun said regretfully.
“This is way too much.
Let’s talk this over.
I’d have to sell all the Fierce Tiger’s assets to come up with that amount, otherwise, it’s impossible.”
“Oh, right!
You’re the Regent King of Fierce Tiger after all.
I hear that’s where the biggest fat cats of all are,” Song Yun smirked ominously.
“Then we don’t have to settle everything in cash.
You can use your assets as collateral.
Come on, let’s have a proper discussion.”
