Chapter 753: God of Plagues (4)
Wu Liu never expected that his small gesture would be exaggerated to such an extent by Zhao Yu.
-Elders, one must take responsibility for one’s actions. This was my doing, and it has nothing to do with the Wu family. If you want to kill or punish me, I’m at your disposal!” Wu Liu said seriously.
Wu Yong Wei was furious upon hearing this. “You idiot! Is this your place to
talk now? Can you save the Wu family?!”
He didn’t expect that Wu Liu would give Zhao Yu such an opportunity, making
it look like they owed him.
Suppressing his discomfort, Wu Yong Wei forced a smile and looked at Zhao Yu. “What kind of compensation do you think would make you feel secured and not afraid of such event happened anymore?”
He was secretly relieved that they were in Blackstone Town. If Zhao Yu had done this in Moon City, things could have gotten out of hand.
Many people would have taken the opportunity to cause trouble for the Wu family.
Even if they couldn’t bring down the Wu family, they would make them bleed heavily.
“Listen to yourself, isn’t that because someone from your family threatened me?!”
Zhao Yu said with his curling lips. Seeing Wu Yong Wei’s increasingly unpleasant expression, he coughed and added, “I saved the Wu family. Asking for ten bottles of third-tier divine medicine isn’t too much, right?!
“What?!”
The entire audience was shocked.
Even the five major families of Blackstone Town widened their eyes, looking at
Zhao Yu in disbelief.
That was ten bottles of third-tier divine medicine. They didn’t expect Zhao Yu to have the audacity to ask.
“This…”
Wu Yong Wei didn’t dare to agree. If it were one or two bottles, he could make the decision on behalf of the family.
After all, the wool comes from the sheep, and someone behind Wu Liu could pay it back. But ten bottles were too much.
“That’s too much…”
“Don’t say the Wu family can’t produce it!”
Zhao Yu teased. “I’ve heard your Wu family has dozens, if not hundreds, of third-tier divine medicines. Ten bottles should be easy, right?!”
“I did save your Wu family…”
“Enough, enough. The Wu family doesn’t need your saving…” Wu Yong Wei rejected helplessly. “If you aren’t satisfied, I’ll expel Wu Liu from the family registry and execute him. How about that?”
His implication was clear: if Zhao Yu was too excessive, he wouldn’t give in. At worst, he’d let Wu Liu die.
Zhao Yu’s goal wasn’t to have Wu Liu killed; he just wanted to extort something.
“Then… five bottles?!”
-Still too much!” Wu Yong Wei sighed in relief. He was just worried that Zhao Yu wouldn’t see reason and not realize the situation. Luckily, they could negotiate.
■■Then three bottles of third tier divine medicine and a million magic medicine.
How about it?!”
– one bottle of third tier divine medicine, two bottles of second tier divine medicine, and a million magic medicine!” Wu Yong Wei said in a deep voice.
Zhao Yu continued to bargain for a while and noticed that Wu Yong Wei seemed to have reached his limit. If he pushed any further, Wu Yong Wei might turn hostile, so he agreed to the terms.
Wu Yong Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unbeknownst to him, his forehead was covered in sweat, but his face was still smiling.
He thought to himself that he had made a significant contribution this time, saving the Wu family.
When he returned, he would surely demand more credit from the family. Whether the trouble came from Zhao Yu or Wu Liu was irrelevant; after all, he couldn’t afford to offend either of them, and someone had to foot the bill.
As this unfolded, the others began to look at Zhao Yu differently.
“We’ll give you the third-tier divine medicine when we reach Moon City. The second-tier divine medicine and magic potion can be given to you here…” Wu Yong Wei took out the two bottles of second-tier divine medicine he had just acquired in the past two days and handed them to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu accepted them with satisfaction.
Wu Yong Wei then turned to the Wang family’s Elder. “The magic potion, can your family provide it?”
The Elder Wang was bewildered. What does this have to do with us?!
Seeing no response, Wu Yong Wei’s expression changed, and he said coldly, “A King Slayer Rank 3 fighter is dead. Logically, we still need to re-examine this matter in Moon City…”
“We agree!!” All the Wang family elders responded respectfully.
Wu Yong Wei nodded in satisfaction, exchanged contact information with Zhao Yu, and then sternly warned the other young people present.
With Wu Liu’s example, the young people naturally didn’t want to cause trouble for Zhao Yu. They all promised to behave.
“Um… may I ask, should we continue our match?” The two people in the arena couldn’t help but ask, seeing that the matter seemed to be resolved.
The Wang family, having just lost a million medicines, was in a foul mood and scolded, “You two just continue your match. Don’t meddle in our affairs…
The two fighters, frightened, quickly returned to the arena and resumed their fight.
At this moment, Zhao Yu turned to Wu Liu for a thanks.
“WU Liu, No. I should addressed you as Brother Wu, I just saved your life. How do you plan to repay me?”
“Saved my life?!”
Wu Liu, already confused, was even more baffled.
“Yes, when your family was ready to abandon you and let you die, it was I who, with great righteousness and magnanimity, pleaded for you and saved you…” Wu Liu’s mouth fell open in astonishment. “But… but the elder just gave you third-tier divine medicine, second-tier divine medicine, and a million magic potions?!”
“That’s different! Those are separate matters. I negotiated with him and happened to save you in the process.. You can’t just take my help for granted and think that others’ contributions count as yours, can you?!”
