Scorpion Brother's gaze was filled with ferocity. He had come here today to snatch the precious treasure from Lin Xiaotian's person and take Lin Xiaotian back, forcing Lin Xiaotian to exclusively craft such treasures for him.
When he arrived, he hadn't even considered the possibility of failure. After all, no matter how strong Lin Xiaotian was, he couldn't possibly be an opponent to so many of them. The boss had already made it very clear: as long as this matter was accomplished, there would be immense benefits.
"Everyone, attack together! Don't give Lin Xiaotian any chance, and don't let him call for help. Once we capture him, each of us will get at least several million!"
"With this money, we can go wherever we want, north or south. From now on, no more working, no more living in fear."
Hearing this, the eyes of those men began to redden slightly.
Under a heavy reward, there will be brave men.
These people didn't care what Lin Xiaotian would do to them. They directly charged at Lin Xiaotian, using all their skills, preparing to capture him.
Just as they were about to charge, Lin Xiaotian shouted.
"Wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this, those men instinctively stopped their movements, their gazes fixed on Lin Xiaotian, a hint of confusion appearing in their eyes.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Everyone, I don't know who is behind you, but he promised each of you several million. This small amount of money means nothing to me. I can casually take out a treasure that's worth tens of billions."
"Wouldn't it be better for you to take this treasure and exchange it for money?"
"I believe that once those big bosses know you have such a treasure, they will definitely be willing to pay. Even if you only exchange it for a few hundred million, it will be enough for you to live a carefree life forever. Why do you have to work for him?"
"Earning so little money while facing such great danger is simply not worth it. It's better for you to take my things and then exchange them for more wealth."
After speaking, Lin Xiaotian's lips curved into a wicked smile. He flipped his hand, and a jade pendant appeared, which he gently flicked out.
Scorpion Brother instinctively caught it.
At this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He realized something was wrong and looked at the brothers present.
All their gazes shifted to Scorpion Brother.
Greed flickered in their eyes. Lin Xiaotian had spoken clearly, and they had also secretly overheard the situation at the auction.
Those big bosses were willing to spend tens of billions for such a treasure. If they got their hands on it, wouldn't it be even more satisfying to exchange it for money directly?
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "I understand your thoughts. After all, men die for wealth and birds die for food. This amount of money is entirely worth you risking your lives for."
"But it's not worth it to give up your lives for a few million. I have already given you the benefits. Now, all you need to do is snatch that jade pendant and go to the big bosses in the shops to exchange it for money. This matter will be easily accomplished."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't leave. I'll stay right here. I'm a straightforward person. If something can be solved with money, it's not a problem for me."
"I can casually take out an item worth tens of billions. Why would I risk myself in front of you? Moreover, once you get this money, you won't covet anything else from me."
These words made those men's hearts waver. Their gazes were all fixed on Scorpion Brother.
"Boss, can you give us the jade pendant in your hand directly?" suddenly, one person said.
The others also stared intently at Scorpion Brother's face.
Scorpion Brother understood now. Lin Xiaotian was sowing discord.
He took a few deep breaths, then threw the jade pendant into the car, his face revealing a ferocious expression. "Brothers, I know what you're thinking, but don't fall for Lin Xiaotian's trick."
"He is trying to sow discord right now."
"If you start fighting over this jade pendant, then you'll be playing right into his hands. He might even escape in the chaos. Why don't we first control him and put him in the car? Besides, haven't you considered that as long as we control Lin Xiaotian, there will be an endless stream of treasures appearing in the future?"
Hearing his words, his subordinates remained unmoved.
Their eyes still held that greedy look.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Looking at things from different perspectives yields different views."
"In your eyes, you might want the endless wealth that comes later. But in their eyes, that much wealth is more than they can spend and has little practical use. It's better to just grab one big haul and leave."
"Then they can escape this vortex, and no one will bother them. Because they know very well that with their strength, they can't possibly keep this secret. Grabbing a fortune and leaving is the best way to extricate themselves."
Lin Xiaotian's words struck a chord with them.
They didn't want to get entangled in this huge quagmire, or they would be unable to protect themselves. Losing their lives for money was truly not worth it. However, if they could get a substantial reward and offend no one, that would be a great benefit to them.
"Boss, actually, what Lin Xiaotian said is not wrong. We just need to take this jade pendant and exchange it for money. Then, with this generous reward, we can flee far away, and no one will notice us."
"I believe those big bosses will definitely pay a huge price for this jade pendant. After all, they gave tens of billions for it, so a few hundred million more is not a problem."
"We sell them the jade pendant at the lowest price, and they will surely be very happy. Then we can retreat with our whole bodies and live a carefree life with the money. Isn't that better than being someone's dog?"
"Exactly, boss. We are advising you. Please don't get too agitated."
As they spoke, those men's hands had already moved to their knife hilts.
They now had only one thought: whoever took the jade pendant and left would absolutely not be allowed to anger Lin Xiaotian further.
Dealing with Lin Xiaotian might result in one of them dying on the spot, as they had witnessed Lin Xiaotian's strength earlier.
Now that Lin Xiaotian had given them more options, they naturally chose the one that was most beneficial to them without hesitation.
"You guys have fun. I'll watch from here and have a smoke. The only drawback is the lack of melon seeds and a small stool," Lin Xiaotian said, clearly in the mood to watch a show.
He was originally just toying with these people.
