The two heads of the family looked at me and I looked at you. I didn’t know what to say for a moment. I just thought to myself, aren’t you just robbing me? If we weren’t afraid that you would find trouble in the future, who would be willing to give away so much money?
In the eyes of the two family heads, Shen Lang was obviously trying to blackmail them. But they did not dare to mention such words at all. Instead, they looked more respectful and cautious.
"How can this be blackmail? We all do it willingly." Nangong Lie said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, you deserve all this money. How can this be considered extortion?" the head of the Shangguan family said repeatedly.
"Oh? I deserve it? Then tell me, what do I deserve?" Shen Lang looked at the head of the Shangguan family with interest, "If there is no legitimate reason, I will not accept the money, otherwise
If the matter spreads and others say that I am using my power to bully others, wouldn’t it slander the reputation of Qingyun Sect?”
"This..." The head of the Shangguan family wanted to slap himself in the face. He deeply felt that he was really mean-mouthed. He said something bad and insisted that Shen Lang deserved the money. Now Shen Lang forced him to give a reason. This
But what to do?
The head of the Nangong family was also full of frustration. He thought, how can there be such a frustration in the world? Not only did he have to give away more than 60 billion in property, but he also asked others to take it back, and even had to find a justifiable reason. This is too special.
Are you bullying someone?
However, the head of the Nangong family knew that no matter how frustrating this matter was, even if Shen Lang was unwilling to accept the money, they would still try their best to beg Shen Lang to accept the money.
Because Shen Lang accepted the money, all grievances would naturally be wiped out. From now on, they can live their lives with peace of mind.
And if Shen Lang doesn't accept it, then of course they can't feel at ease. Even if Shen Lang doesn't deal with them now, they will worry about Shen Lang dealing with them in the future. Even if Shen Lang tells them that he won't cause trouble for them in the future, they can't completely feel at ease.
.
Therefore, this amount of money is actually their reassurance.
Only when Shen Lang accepts the money will they completely believe that all their grievances have been wiped out. Only then will they be convinced that the Shangguan family and the Nangong family are safe.
However, Shen Lang happened to make a fool of himself at this time and forced them to find a legitimate reason...
"Ahem..." It has to be said that the two family heads are people who have experienced great storms. Although the whole thing happened suddenly, they still made up a reason in a very short period of time.
"Mr. Shen, your gambling skills are unparalleled. Even Mr. Mo Da was defeated by you. As long as you are willing, you can easily sweep all the casinos in the city. You are the undisputed king of gambling in Guyang City. But my Nangong family is not.
We want to start a gambling house business..."
The head of the Nangong family chuckled and said: "According to the rules in the gambling world, no matter who wants to do business in the gambling house, he must first pay homage to the mountain and meet the gambling king. Therefore, the money we are going to give has nothing to do with the Qingyun Sect.
I just hope that you, sir, will take more care of our gambling business in the future, so as not to flood the Dragon King Temple and destroy your own place."
"That's right! That's the rule." The head of the Shangguan family echoed in succession: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Mo Da was revered as the king of gambling in the past. In fact, the three major families would allocate 10% of the total income of the gambling house as a bonus every year and give it to Mo Da.
gentlemen."
"After last night's gambling at the High Roller Casino, Mr. Mo Da has announced that he will wash his hands and withdraw from the gambling industry forever. Then you are now the new gambling king. According to these rules, we will not only give you 60 billion as a meeting gift
, I will give you a 10% bonus every year from now on."
"10% bonus?" Shen Lang held his chin and thought for a while. As his identity and status continued to rise, he found the rules in the spiritual world more and more interesting.
If the three major aristocratic families want to take root in Guyang City and survive, they must pay an expensive protection fee to Songhe Tower every year. They want to open a gambling house, and in order to prevent the gambling house from being ruined, they must give some money to the gambling king.
To save face, a 10% bonus will be given every year.
Shen Lang knew that this was probably the epitome of the law of the jungle in the spiritual world. High-ranking big shots never had to find ways to make money on their own, but as long as they were willing, they would never be short of money.
But he doesn’t hate such rules, let alone money. Money is the basis of material life, who can live without money?
And the more powerful the person is, the more powerful the force is, the more money they may need. Beings as powerful as the ancient tribes of the wilderness have to set up an auction house outside to make money. Of course, Shen Lang will do the same in the future
Need money.
The Nangong family and the Shangguan family are very good at making money, and the 10% bonus from the gambling house must not be too small. From now on, he will have these two small treasury, and he will have money to spend every year. Basically, he will not have to worry about money.
Happy but not doing it?
Moreover, if he doesn't accept the money, the heads of the two major families will be worried all day long, and they may try all kinds of ways to entangle him to please him in the future. This is also quite annoying. It's better...
Looking at Shen Lang's hesitation, the head of the Nangong family thought that he was too young, so he said cautiously: "How about a 20% bonus?"
"Two percent?" Shen Lang's tone rose a bit.
"Ah? Isn't that too little?" The head of the Shangguan family just thought that Shen Lang was still not satisfied, so he began to cry: "Actually, 20% is already a lot. Although the gambling house business is easy to do, the family also has hundreds of people.
people, and then remove all kinds of miscellaneous expenses..."
But the head of the Nangong family gritted his teeth and said, "If Mr. Shen insists, 30% of the time my Nangong family will admit it!"
"Okay, two achievements are enough. I won't embarrass you." Shen Lang looked at the pitiful two masters of the family, and it was rare for him to feel a trace of pity. He thought to himself that he had nothing to do with these two families.
I hate them so much, why bother punishing them like this?
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
When the two masters heard this, they both shed tears of gratitude and were so moved that they almost burst into tears.
Each person took out 66.6 billion, and also took out 20% of the gambling house's bonus. This seems like a lot.
But they all understand that in front of Shen Lang, they are nothing but meat on the chopping board, not to mention a mere 20% bonus. If Shen Lang is more unreasonable, even if he wants them to take out all their wealth at once, they will not
Just give it a try.
They only paid tens of billions of spirit stones, plus a 20% bonus. This was already the wonderful result they had imagined.
All the grievances were wiped out, and the heads of the Nangong family and the Shangguan family were relieved, and their hearts felt relaxed.
However, the head of the Murong family and Murong Tianzong were even more nervous and frightened at this moment. They were thinking to themselves that the Nangong family and the Shangguan family had paid such a heavy price just to apologize. So what should they do?
At this time, Shen Lang's eyes gradually turned to the head of the Murong family, and his originally calm and easy-going face suddenly became a bit stern: "It's time to calculate the general ledger. Have you brought the 200 billion?"
