Both Zhongcheng Group and Wansheng Group were conglomerates with market values in the tens of billions.
Such large conglomerates did not belong to a single person.
Taking Zhongcheng Group as an example, there were at least ten people on the board of directors.
Although the chairman of Zhongcheng held the largest stake, he only owned thirty-five percent of the shares.
Giving Qin Hanchu thirty percent would be akin to handing over Zhongcheng Group to him.
"If you want my life, is thirty percent too much?"
"How about this, instead of equity, I'll take both of your lives. What do you think?"
Qin Hanchu looked at the chairmen of Zhongcheng and Wansheng with a calm gaze.
"No... it's not that we're unwilling, it's just that we don't have that much equity ourselves."
"Our companies are all shareholding systems, and the equity has already been dispersed."
"To gather thirty percent of the equity, we can only take it from other shareholders."
"But these shareholders won't give us their shares."
The chairman of Wansheng said miserably.
"You still have ten percent, don't you?" Qin Hanchu said.
"This..."
Just as the chairman of Wansheng was about to continue his lament, Qin Hanchu said, "If you're not even willing to part with ten percent, then you can die."
"Don't... yes, I'll give it." Seeing Qin Hanchu clench a toothpick, the chairman of Zhongcheng quickly shouted.
The chairman of Wansheng also hurriedly said, "Okay, ten percent is fine."
Qin Hanchu threw his bank card in front of the two men. "Ten percent equity plus a three hundred million transfer. Pay the three hundred million transfer first."
"Another three hundred million!"
The two chairmen thought that ten percent equity would suffice, but they didn't expect Qin Hanchu to also demand a three hundred million transfer.
Qin Hanchu said coldly, "Don't test my patience. If you talk any more nonsense, I'll cripple your hands and feet first to collect some interest."
"Here, I'll transfer it now."
Qin Hanchu had already dealt with twelve bodyguards, so he didn't care about their lives.
If they truly angered Qin Hanchu, they would surely suffer.
Three hundred million was not a small sum, but it was acceptable to them.
Before long, Qin Hanchu received the transfer notification. His account now had over seven hundred million in liquid funds.
"I'll be at your companies tomorrow afternoon to collect the equity. Prepare the paperwork."
Retrieving his bank card, Qin Hanchu turned and walked out of the private room.
"Boss."
Seeing Qin Hanchu emerge, the manager of Jin Han breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Qin Hanchu was alive, he could continue to be the manager of Jin Han Entertainment Group.
If Qin Hanchu died, his power would be stripped away in an instant.
The Jin Han manager glanced at the private room and his eyes were filled with shock when he saw the bodyguards lying on the ground.
All twelve bodyguards, armed with pistols, had been taken down by Qin Hanchu?
Most importantly, these people hadn't even had a chance to fire their guns.
He couldn't fathom how Qin Hanchu had accomplished this.
"Let's go." Qin Hanchu walked out with a smile.
Seeing Qin Hanchu leave, the four bodyguards at the door entered the private room.
Upon seeing all their companions dead, the four stood stunned in place.
"How could this be?"
"How... how did he do it?"
The chairman of Zhongcheng ignored the stunned four and looked at the chairman of Wansheng. "What should we do? Really give him the equity?"
"Can you bear to part with it?" the chairman of Wansheng asked.
The chairman of Zhongcheng shook his head. "Of course I can't bear it, but our men are probably no match for him."
"Then let's post a bounty on Black Tower. We'll each contribute a hundred million to put a bounty on his life!"
Black Tower was the largest dark force in the world, with influence in every corner of the globe.
The Hell List was merely a killer ranking established by the Nanmo Country's Black Tower branch.
Ghost ranked in the top twenty on the Hell List, but he didn't even qualify for the Death List at Black Tower headquarters.
A bounty of one hundred million yuan was already substantial, enough to entice all the killers on the Hell List.
"What if they fail?"
The chairman of Wansheng said, "Take your families, and let's leave Jianghai City to lie low. We'll come back after someone completes the mission."
"Alright, then we'll leave Jianghai City tonight." The chairman of Zhongcheng nodded. "After leaving Jianghai City, I'll transfer fifty million to you, and then we'll post the bounty mission."
Qin Hanchu knew that these two would not easily admit defeat, but that was unimportant.
In the face of overwhelming strength, all schemes and plots were fragile.
Returning to the villa, Qin Hanchu continued his cultivation.
...
At midnight, on a rooftop in Black City, Nanmo Country.
Buzz buzz...
The silent night was suddenly broken by two vibrations.
Only then did a shadow move.
The person hid in a corner and took out his phone. After reading the text message, he muttered, "A bounty of one hundred million yuan. It's been so many years since I had such a large order."
Putting away his phone, the person picked up his sniper rifle and continued his watch.
An hour later, a middle-aged man, protected by more than a dozen bodyguards, emerged from a nightclub.
Bang!
With a gunshot, the middle-aged man's head exploded.
The man on the rooftop slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder and then rappelled down the other side of the rooftop.
Nanmo Country, Chunhai City.
A man and a woman were passionately playing poker in a villa room.
Just then, their phones rang one after another.
"An order?" Although somewhat annoyed, they both picked up their phones.
The woman on top of the man looked at her phone and exclaimed, "A hundred million yuan order! We can't miss this."
The man lying down sat up. "Finish quickly, then hurry to Jianghai City."
As the bounty mission was posted, bounty hunters from all over Nanmo Country rushed towards Jianghai City.
A hundred million yuan order was not something that came along often.
At three in the morning, Qin Hanchu, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.
He could hear two people sneaking into his villa.
Qin Hanchu initially thought they were burglars, but soon realized they were assassins.
If they were burglars, they would rummage through everything looking for valuables. However, these two were heading directly for the bedroom.
It was obvious that this was the doing of the chairmen of Zhongcheng and Wansheng.
Ending his cultivation, Qin Hanchu placed a pillow under the covers.
Having done this, he stood behind the door.
Qin Hanchu could hear that the two had gone to the adjacent room and would soon approach.
The doorknob turned slightly, and then a dark figure holding a pistol entered.
Qin Hanchu didn't move, as he knew there was another person behind.
The first assassin to enter immediately saw what appeared to be someone on the bed. He signaled to his companion, and then the two moved towards the bed.
Bang bang...
As the second assassin entered, Qin Hanchu stepped forward and delivered two palm strikes.
Before the two assassins could react, they lost consciousness and fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, the two assassins slowly woke up.
