Chapter 397 Compensation

The two elders of the Liu Family felt like crying.

Considering the intimidating skeleton that Su Ping had, it was unlikely that the Star Organization would choose to put up a desperate fight against Su Ping. The Liu Family would have to face the consequences of their previous actions since the Star Organization was unable to overpower him.

The two elders of the Liu Family were on tenterhooks. In the meanwhile, none of the other elders were in the mood to gloat and laugh at the Liu Family because all of them had been seized by complicated feelings. If Su Ping felt like it, he could unite all of the major families and turn them into his personal force! By then, there would only be one ruler in the Longjiang Base City, and that would be Su Ping!

That couldn’t be a good thing for any of the major families.

However, there was nothing they could do. Their only hope was Xie Gangge who ended up being defeated within one move. The Star Organization was not foolish. They would not offend Su Ping because of one girl. Sure, they wanted to save face but... they had to consider the cost first.

“Why are all of you standing there? Sit down,” Su Ping said to those who were rooted to the ground.

The elders were startled. They couldn’t believe that Su Ping didn’t know why they were standing there. Before they went to the test room, they had the confidence to sit down with him. Back then, they believed that Su Ping and they were alike. Besides, they were all titled battle pet warriors who had established their fame years back, in a time when Su Ping was a young man, an emerging talent.

It turned out that this emerging talent was a monster!

He was so threatening that they were afraid to sit down with him!

Xie Gange wasn’t interested in persuading those family elders because he was in a complicated mood at the moment. He had accomplished his task, which was to find out about the store and the young man. The thing was, the result was the worst he could have ever imagined.

Xie Gange took a deep breath. He walked over and grabbed himself a chair to sit down. “Mr. Su, let’s talk about the first option.”

Su Ping was speechless after seeing that the family elders refused to sit down but he didn’t make the same offer again. Apart from the Liu Family, the other families had done properly and he had no bone to pick with them. That was why he was okay with being nice to them. If the Liu Family members were the only visitors present, he wouldn’t have bothered to ask them to sit down.

“Tell me what you can offer first,” Su Ping said to Xie Gange. He had to sound the latter out first.

Xie Gange answered with a question. “Mr. Su, what do you need? I suppose you’re not interested in money. Do you want treasures or

pets?”

“I don’t want pets. As you can see, I have a pet store,” Su Ping pointed it out.

Xie Gange nodded. That was not surprising. The battle pets that Su Ping would want, if he did, would be the rare ones, much more cherished than the Inferno Dragon. Those pets would be hard to find in the Star Organization as well, and they would also want to keep those pets. When trained well, those battle pets could grow to the peak of the ninth rank and even make the breakthrough to the legendary rank!

“As for treasures...”

Xie Gange pondered. Those things were not cheap. Su Ping would not accept the usual treasures. On the other hand, precious treasures would be cherished by any force. “I’m not in dire need of treasures,” Su Ping answered. He wasn’t that interested because he had obtained quite a number of treasures in the Mysterious Realm. Many were of the same category, like weapons, and he didn’t need them. He would have to go through the trouble and find a place to sell them.

Since Xie Gange didn’t know what to offer, Su Ping made a suggestion, “I have just three demands. Think about them.

“First, I’ll give you a list of materials. The Star Organization must find all of them within half a year!

“Second, give me a list of all the treasures the Star Organization has. I will pick several items that I may be interested in.”

“Third, in the future, when the need arises, I must be able to mobilize some people of the Star Organization to work for me.”

He explained his demands at once and then stared at Xie Gange.

Xie Gange felt troubled. Su Ping had not asked for much but he was demanding.

“Well, for the first one, we will try your best. But please forgive us for not being able to complete that task if we cannot find the materials you need anywhere,” Xie Gange said. A person like Su Ping would not bother asking for the common materials. Those things he was looking for were surely hard to find or even extinct. Xie Gange couldn’t make a promise that he couldn’t deliver.

Su Ping kept his gaze on Xie Gange for a moment before he nodded. Indeed, that was reasonable.

Xie Gange heaved a sigh of relief. “We will do our best to fulfill your second demand. But can you give us a limit on the number of treasures you plan to choose? Like three or any other number?”

“No problem, three it is. But you have to promise that I can choose from all the treasures you have at the Star Organization. If I find out that you are hiding something, don’t blame me for breaking the deal,” Su Ping cautioned him.

Xie Gange said right away, “Of course, we will open up our warehouse to you. We have all the information about the treasures and I will show you all the information updated within the past six months. We won’t fake a thing.”

Su Ping snorted. He had no way to determine if they were faking the information. He supposed that they had this ability since Xie Gange had answered without hesitation. He would see if the Star Organization would make the smart decision. If they were to treat him like a fool by hiding all the good treasures and leaving him a pile of garbage, he would teach them another lesson.

He wasn’t greedy. He just wanted something rare and with good functions.

Something like the scroll would be nice. It wasn’t a weapon but it was quite useful.

“As for your third demand, Mr. Su, don’t worry. In the future, when you come to our territory, we will receive you with the highest standard.”

Xie Gange thought this was the easiest demand.

Su Ping nodded.

Venerable the Blade heaved a sigh. Even the Star Organization had chosen to compromise.

The Star Organization had shown up to save the girl but only ended up paying a huge amount as compensation and apology.

Su Ping was bullying them!

He could do whatever he wanted because he had the power! The other family elders were filled with complicated thoughts as Xie Gange yielded.

Who could have thought that the greatest force of the Subcontinent District had surrendered in this shabby store at the Longjiang Base City!

Xie Gange was relieved to see Su Pig nod. “Mr. Su, can I take the girl away with me now?” He asked, smiling.

“Take her away?”

Su Ping looked at him as if he had heard the funniest joke. “What makes you think you can take her away when you haven’t given me anything?” “Well...”

Xie Gange also realized that this could be a problem. His eyebrows were knitted together. “Or, could you let me see her?”

Su Ping frowned. Eventually, he agreed. “So annoying. Wait here.”

With that said, he stood up and went to the storage room. Inside, he opened the scroll and shook Yan Bingyue out from the painting. Yan Bingyue was highly alerted. She took a look around before she stood up. She stared at Su Ping with a straight face as if nothing could scare her.

Su Ping said, “The Star Organization is coming for you.”

After those words, a lively expression was revived on her face and her eyes began to glow.

They were coming for her! She was about to be set free!!

No wonder Su Ping was getting her out in this small room instead of the storefront. He was still trying to hide the mysteries of the scroll.

Yan Bingyue sneered. She would report back to the organization and tell everything she knew about Su Ping’s store.

“Huh.”

Yan Bingyue once again put on her cold expression. “Open the door,” she ordered.

Su Ping found the change in her attitude interesting but went along with it.

The glaring light was cast into the room. Yan Bingyue was glad to see the exterior again. Only after experiencing desperation and imprisonment could she understand how precious freedom was. “The King of Arms!”

As soon as she came into the storefront, she saw Xie Gange sitting on the couch.

She had not realized that the organization valued her this much. They had sent a member to pick her up! How thrilling and exciting this was!
