Chapter 93 Life and Death Contract
According to Lian Sanyue, someone had taken a fancy to the energy storage of the Hundred Refinements Furnace and wanted to intercept it, plundering his results.
The 85% of energy in the furnace was from the eight items and materials worth millions that he had invested, almost half of his wealth.
Now, someone wanted to pick the fruits halfway?
Zhang Yuanqing stared at the landlady's glamorous face, narrowing his eyes, "Landlady, I continuously invested valuable items and materials because I trusted your integrity, and I spent money to seal the furnace because of your honesty. Now you're telling me the furnace can't be used?"
"Are you trying to die!"
Faced with Zhang Yuanqing's angry gaze and unkind expression, Lian Sanyue's expression remained unchanged. She even picked up a cigar, took a sip, and said lazily, "We agreed to seal the furnace for seven days, and that's what it is. Within seven days, no one but you will use the Hundred Refinements Furnace."
After a pause, she chuckled, "But I am a businesswoman. People want to buy Firestones and are willing to pay double the price. I have no reason to refuse."
"But you didn't remind me at the time," Zhang Yuanqing stared at her.
Lian Sanyue maintained her lazy posture, her eyes playful, "You didn't ask. Besides, why should I remind you?"
'That's very in line with your chaotic neutral style' Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "Who bought the Firestones?"
"Zhao Feichen, the youngest grandson of the Zhao family head," Lian Sanyue gently exhaled a puff of white smoke.
"The Zhao family?" Zhang Yuanqing's brow jumped, and he immediately scrutinized Lian Sanyue. After a long while, he sneered, "So, the landlady has taken a fancy to the energy in the furnace and cherishes her reputation, so she found a second-generation ancestor to operate. Tsk tsk, a good calculation."
Hongjige had said that Lian Sanyue and the Zhao family had an extraordinary relationship, and the backing of the Wanbao House store was the Zhao family, one of the three scholars' families.
Facing Zhang Yuanqing's mockery, Lian Sanyue didn't care. She slowly said, "This has nothing to do with me. Zhao Feichen came here a few days ago and took a fancy to the energy in the furnace. Knowing that I had sealed the furnace for seven days, he bought all the Firestones from me, cutting off your path."
"What does he want?" Zhang Yuanqing asked directly.
"He overlooked this matter. It's hard to think of these details with unequal information. It's useless to be annoyed now. The top priority is to get the Firestones and refine the item."
"Zhao Feichen bought all the Firestones, obviously wanting to take advantage of the situation. If the conditions are reasonable, he will admit the loss."
"This is a matter between you buyers. I won't care, and I don't bother to interfere."
Lian Sanyue's tone of voice was lazy. She flicked the cigar ash and said, "I almost forgot, the cigar I'm smoking was given to me by you. The taste is mellow and sweet, I like it very much. For the sake of the cigar, I'll talk to you about it."
"Zhao Feichen is the youngest grandson of the Zhao family head. He has been spoiled since childhood and is rampant in Huadu. Even the bottom-level official The Way of the Extraordinary dare not provoke him. A few years ago, one of his younger brothers took a fancy to the woman of a local rich businessman. The two sides fought for jealousy and had a quarrel. His younger brother cut off the rich businessman's kidneys, causing him to be impotent for the rest of his life. The official The Way of the Extraordinary of Huadu branch arrested the The Way of the Extraordinary, but the office was smashed by Zhao Feichen that day."
Zhang Yuanqing thought: "Are these second-generation ancestors of the The Way of the Extraordinary families so arrogant? When I am promoted to Overlord, I will give them a good beating. Well, there are still upright people in the families. To be able to live to this day, it can be seen that the Zhao family head loves this grandson very much. I just don't know if the old Zhao family head will go crazy if someone kills him one day?"
Lian Sanyue glanced at him and laughed, "I'm looking forward to that day."
"There are many more examples of Zhao Feichen's arrogance. I won't list them one by one. You just need to remember that the Zhao family is protective. Offending Zhao Feichen means making an enemy of the Zhao family. Although my Wanbao House has the final say, it can only operate under the protection of the Zhao family. Weigh the pros and cons yourself."
After speaking, Lian Sanyue stretched out her hand and said, "Bring the token!"
Zhang Yuanqing ignored her, went straight to the goods counter, scanned for a long time, picked up a dusty small round mirror, and turned on Star Eyes to look at himself in the mirror.
He saw that the "Wealth" and "Misfortune" palaces were shrouded in dark clouds, indicating that his money was facing huge losses and that he was at risk of being seriously injured.
The "Fate" palace was clear, without haze, indicating that there were no problems with his current cooperation and contracts, and that there was no betrayal from business partners.
If Lian Sanyue intentionally violated the contract and deliberately sold the Firestones, the "Fate" palace would have haze. Through his face, Zhang Yuanqing temporarily believed that this matter was not instructed by Lian Sanyue.
Just in case, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Fu Qingyang. If he had an accident or disappeared, it would be the Wanbao House and the Zhao family who did it.
After sending the message, he returned to the cashier and grabbed the token from the item bar, handing it over expressionlessly, and asked:
"What is Zhao Feichen's level?"
"Level 3 Transcendent," Lian Sanyue said as she took the token, "He hasn't been a The Way of the Extraordinary for long, only about two years. To have this level is already extremely talented, after all, not everyone is like you.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and looked at the shop entrance.
Blood Rose, who was waiting outside, came in.
Crack!
She crushed the token, and the runes engraved on it emerged and quickly spread, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. The next moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw the familiar "farmers market" again, and saw the customers wearing masks or cloaks.
Lian Sanyue, a cigarette between her fingers, arms crossed, nodded towards the distance: "Zhao Feichen rented a place here, specializing in buying Firestones, ha, waiting for you."
Zhang Yuanqing followed her gaze, and through the overlapping walking passersby, he saw a delicately dressed young man lying lazily on a rocking chair behind the stall.
He was covered in famous brands. The shoes were signed by a certain basketball star, and his short hair was styled and meticulously groomed. He also had a good appearance, a fair and handsome pretty boy. Beside this young master, there was also a middle-aged man in black, holding an ancient sword.
There were also two young women in short skirts and t-shirts, dressed coolly, one squatting in front and one standing behind, tapping his legs and rubbing his shoulders for him.
The young master closed his eyes and rested, leisurely and content. The surrounding passersby and stall owners frequently glanced sideways, sighing in amazement.
Zhao Feichen, the number one playboy of the Zhao family, was the only one who could be so "flashy" in Wanbao House. Even the Saints dare not be so ostentatious.
At this time, the young girl who was gently pinching his shoulders saw the landlady twisting her waist, leading an ordinary-looking young man over, and immediately lowered her head and whispered a few words in the young master's ear.
Zhao Feichen immediately opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the man beside Lian Sanyue for a few seconds.
"How's his level?" he asked, looking ahead.
"Saint, his aura is far inferior to mine," the middle-aged man behind him said in a deep voice.
The corners of Zhao Feichen's mouth turned up in a smile. He raised his hand to dismiss the two women, got up to meet them, and looked at Lian Sanyue with an ingratiating smile, deliberately saying loudly in front of Zhang Yuanqing:
"Aunt."
"Aunt?"! Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at the glamorous landlady, somewhat caught off guard.
She is Zhao Feichen's aunt?
Then she is the daughter of the current head of the Zhao family?
Lian Sanyue giggled, her playful gaze turning between Zhang Yuanqing and Zhao Feichen. She pointed at Zhang Yuanqing with her cigar and said, "He is the one who sealed the furnace. You guys talk."
After speaking, she twisted her waist gracefully and walked to the rocking chair, lying down and swaying back and forth to watch the excitement. Zhao Feichen scrutinized the young man in front of him and chuckled lightly…
"Which path does this brother walk?"
"A small minion." Lian Sanyue interjected with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her in surprise.
Zhao Feichen said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Only my aunt can buy Firestones here, and now they are all in my hands. I have taken a fancy to the item you are refining."
"How about this, I will refund your furnace sealing fee and give you another 10 million in cash. You open the furnace and give it to me, and I will be responsible for the subsequent 15% energy storage. How about it, is this a good deal?"
Zhang Yuanqing looked at him calmly. His cynical attitude was disgusting.
"You want to buy a priceless, top-quality item for only 20 million? You're not buying, you're robbing."
He invested eight items and materials worth tens of millions for 85% energy storage, plus the furnace sealing fee. You want to take it away for only 20 million? Not only greedy, but also arrogant.
Zhao Feichen啧啧 said, opened his arms, hugged two young women in his arms, leisurely said: "Unwilling? Okay, Zhao Feichen never forces people, like this, I sell the Firestones to you, one Firestone is 1 billion, not retail, if you want to buy, buy all ten Firestones, 10 billion, pay the money.
One hundred billion… Zhang Yuanqing ridiculed: "Why don't you just rob me."
Zhao Feichen exaggeratedly "ha ha" laughed, said: "Yes, just to rob you, what's wrong. I'm not bullying people, I'm playing the rules, you left such a big loophole yourself, don't blame me for exploiting it.
"Today I'm not only going to rob you, but also rob you until you're convinced."
While saying this, he said loudly: "Everyone, I'm just picking up a bargain, learn from it."
The surrounding passersby gathered around,啧啧 constantly.
There were also those who didn't mind the excitement, and jeered: "I'd say 20,000 is too much, just send him away with 20,000."
"Young Master Zhao's ability to pick up bargains is really enviable."
"Just forget it, aren't you afraid of being killed as soon as you leave Wanbao House? Only Young Master Zhao can do this."
The two young women in his arms covered their mouths and chuckled, softly saying: "If the young master is in business, he will definitely be a influential business elite."
Zhao Feichen stared at Zhang Yuanqing with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqing heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, "How about this, Young Master Zhao, I heard from the landlady that you spent twice the price to buy all the Firestones, I'll offer three times the price, you sell them to me. When you're out and about, harmony brings wealth, let's all be friends."
"One hundred billion, not a penny less." Zhao Feichen raised his chin, his face full of confidence, adopting a posture of having Zhang Yuanqing under control.
Zhang Yuanqing stared at him deeply, and sneered: "Young Master Zhao, you are going to self-destruct."
"I don't care!"
Young Master Zhao spread his hands on the shoulders of his female companion, showing a confident posture, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have no losses, if you don't want the Firestones, there are plenty of people who want them after today. But brother, you will suffer a lot. I asked my aunt, you invested at least a small goal in the furnace."
"I advise you to stop the loss in time, take some money and leave, so as to recover some losses."
The day before yesterday, he asked his grandfather for a few worthless Transcendent items. His gambling addiction came over him, so he ran to Wanbao House to gamble on the Hundred Refinements Furnace, but was told that the furnace was sealed.
After a little inquiry, he learned that a guy who was hard to say whether he was unlucky or lucky, had invested a full eight items, materials worth tens of millions, to accumulate 85% of the energy. Zhao Feichen was so envious and jealous, according to the rules of the Hundred Refinements Furnace, this was going to refine a top-quality item. Further investigation revealed that the fool didn't even buy all the Firestones.
It was simply a windfall from heaven.
He immediately bought all the Firestones from his aunt and specially waited for the sucker to come to the door at Wanbao House today.
Zhao Feichen said leisurely: "Don't think you're losing out, although the Firestones are only worth 500,000, but in many cases, the premium of things has nothing to do with their own value, but with the demander. I have Firestones in hand, I have a hold of your weakness, either a fruitless effort, or open the furnace and give it to me, take 20 million and leave, you have no choice."
Zhang Yuanqing sighed: "The self-destruction I'm talking about is not what you think."
Zhao Feichen shrugged, his smile as frivolous as ever, "How do you mean?"
"I'll also give you two choices, one: sell me the Firestones at three times the price.
Two: I don't want the cost in the furnace, I'll go out and block you now, if you dare to come out, I'll cut you with a knife." Zhang Yuanqing simply stopped suppressing the violence in his heart.
Zhao Feichen's face sank, pushed away the two young women, put his face in front of Yuan Shitianzun, and said coldly:
"A mere Saint, so arrogant!"
"The Zhao family has plenty of The Way of the Extraordinary like you. Just based on what you said, don't even think about leaving Huadu today."
Zhang Yuanqing turned around and left.
"Wait!"
Zhao Feichen suddenly raised his voice: "This young master admires people with backbone the most, how about this, I'll give you a chance."
Zhang Yuanqing paused and looked back.
Zhao Feichen returned to his frivolous and lazy second-generation ancestor posture and said with a smile: "You and my bodyguard will fight on the stage. If you win, I will give you the Firestones without taking a penny. If you lose, tell my aunt to let me have the furnace."
"You know the rules of the arena, only one can live. If you agree, sign the life and death contract now."
Zhang Yuanqing stared at him for a few seconds and shook his head: "It's not fair!"
"Scared?"
"If I win, I not only want the Firestones, but also your two legs."
Zhao Feichen laughed loudly: "You have character!"
Turning his head, with a gloomy face and full of murderous intent, he said to the middle-aged man holding the sword: "Sign the life and death contract, even if he is an official executor, I want him dead! After it's done, you can choose any item from the Zhao family's treasure house, and I'll reward you with another 10 million in cash."
"He must get the things in the Hundred Refinements Furnace." Top-quality items in the Saint realm are rare even in large organizations.
Even though grandpa dotes on him, it's impossible to give him such a good item, don't even think about it.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "No problem!"
Zhao Feichen ran happily to the rocking chair, his face full of flattery!
"Aunt, are you satisfied with what your nephew did?"
Lian Sanyue swayed back and forth with the rocking chair, her beautiful eyes half-closed, and said with a smile: "The Zhao family's affairs have nothing to do with me, and your affairs are even less qualified to bother me. But since you signed the life and death contract, even if he is an official executor, the Five Elements Alliance can't say anything if you kill him, and vice versa."
"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure?"
