"Ancestor Haofeng, you’re too modest. Aren’t we all in the Ninth Grade Lower Stream?" Wang Shouzhe sneered with a faint smile, "It’s not easy for any family to survive."
"In that case, we have a large courtyard in the Changning Guard, along with five bustling street shops, totaling a value of over ten thousand Qian Gold." Liang Haofeng, knowing that Wang Shouzhe was not easy to deceive, gritted his teeth and said ruefully, "All transferred to the Wang Family."
His heart bled. Liang Family’s ancestors had painstakingly accumulated some family assets over generations, and this time their plan backfired, causing great losses instead.
"Hehe~ Ten thousand Qian Gold in assets?" Wang Shouzhe’s expression turned serious, "Ancestor Haofeng, do you take the Wang Family for a beggar to be dismissed so easily?"
"Huh?" Liang Haofeng did not expect Wang Shouzhe to have such a large appetite. In his eyes, assets worth over ten thousand Qian Gold were mere trifles? His face flushed red, realizing that he would have to make a painful decision today, he resolutely said, "We, the Liang Family, bought an early estate in the outskirts of Changning Guard, with over two thousand acres of orchards and a small lake. But as you know, estates near Changning Guard are long-term investments, betting on a rising future. Therefore, the annual actual output is quite low, currently valued at ten thousand."
The Wang Family once had industries in Changning Guard City, as well as many properties outside the city. But for the family’s survival, and when Ancestor Xiaohan attempted to reach the Spirit Platform Realm, they sold them all.
Changning Guard City and its surrounding areas are the core of the Changning Region. The prices and output ratios of industries there are usually high price and low yield.
However, the core area has potential for development and is safer, so many families are willing to invest in the long term.
"Twenty thousand?" Wang Shouzhe hesitated slightly, "This price is somewhat sincere. However, Ancestor Haofeng, you are the only ancestor in your family, right? If you fall here and there is no Spirit Platform successor in your family..."
At these words, Liang Haofeng’s brow twitched with anger: "Clan Leader Wang, you’re too greedy. If you keep pressing, you might as well kill me, Liang Haofeng. If I sell the family assets, my grandson will have enough resources to attempt the Spirit Platform. You should show some reasoning, shouldn’t you?"
"Greedy? Reasoning." Wang Shouzhe sneered coldly, "Today, if it weren’t for my capability, the Wang Family would have been annihilated by you. Where would I seek justice for the Wang Family then? Don’t say I’m now giving you a chance to save your life and leave your family some opportunity. You participated in the action against the Wang Family’s extermination; it would be entirely justifiable for me to destroy your entire family! Liang Haofeng, don’t fail to seize the opportunity I give you."
Lian Haofeng shivered all over, fear flickering in his eyes. Would Wang Shouzhe actually do it? If he were provoked, it was likely he could, and he had the ability to do it.
Beside them, Ancestor Mingsheng also chimed in support: "Shouzhe’s words are true. You were part of the action to exterminate a family. Since you failed, you must bear the consequences."
Simultaneously, Ancestor Mang and Ancestor Ruhong also expressed their stance, insisting they wouldn’t stand idly by if Shouzhe wanted to justifiably retaliate against the Liang Family.
Under such circumstances, Liang Haofeng immediately cowered, smiling bitterly at Wang Shouzhe: "Clan Leader Wang, name your price. I hope you show my Liang Family a way out."
He understood that if he died here, even if Wang Shouzhe only made the slightest move against the Liang Family without a Spirit Platform Ancestor, the Liang Family would most likely be done for.
"Forty thousand!" Wang Shouzhe maintained his calm demeanor, "Isn’t your Liang Family a bit short of funds to purchase the Celestial Spirit Pill? It indicates you’re adept at management, with a considerable amount of savings. Liang Haofeng, don’t sulk; consider it as if your family’s Spirit Platform Seed failed in its breakthrough attempt."
Liang Haofeng, nearly collapsing, spat out a mouthful of blood; Wang Shouzhe’s demands were ruthless!
Even Ancestors like Ruhong couldn’t help but twitch their eyelids; Shouzhe’s ruthlessness was truly terrifying. This forty thousand in compensation really strained the Westpeace Liang Family.
But it was also justified; if the Liu and Zhao Clans had succeeded, the Wang Family would have suffered a great disaster.
No wonder Shouzhe was determined to cripple the Liang Family.
Liang Haofeng, as if drained of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, seemed to age more than a decade, lamenting, "I accept the defeat in this matter."
Then came a series of contractual issues.
With Wang Shouzhe’s skills in contract matters, and the witnessing of the three Ancestors, there wasn’t a flaw to be found in any of the contracts, be it for the transfer of family assets or debt contracts.
Once the matter was settled.
The three Ancestors, including Ruhong, looked at Wang Shouzhe with new eyes. This young man, not only adept at winning hearts, was also ruthless to his enemies; he truly had limitless prospects!
Forty thousand Qian Gold in compensation!
How many years must a Ninth-Grade Race laboriously save to amass such fortune?
They also coveted this money, but knew it was Wang Family’s life-or-death gamble that earned it, so they had no intention of touching it.
"Three Ancestors, although matters here are settled." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "I still feel that among our bloodline families, we should deepen our cooperation."
The three Ancestors, including Ruhong, fell into deep thought.
"Shouzhe means that we should share both glory and loss?" Ancestor Ruhong asked in confusion.
"That’s just one aspect. After all, our families’ foundations are too shallow compared to the Celestial Human Families." Wang Shouzhe advised, "If we can unite more closely, we can accomplish more and reap more benefits." Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
