Chapter 1473 - Condition
Chapter 1473: Condition
Meng Xi went to the inn straight from Void Blade’s office.
Once she stepped into the inn, Meng Xi was stunned by the sight before her.
At the most prominent spot in the inn, Quan Zhen Sect clinked their glasses together as they chatted rambunctiously. On the other hand, Rockabye and his men said nothing as they squatted in the corner of the room. They looked like thugs that’d been rounded up by the police.
“This... What is going on...”
When she saw the men by the wall, Meng Xi asked somewhat aggressively.
“Ask them...”
Rockabye glanced at the Quan Zhen Sect members awkwardly.
“...”
With Meng Xi’s intelligence, she immediately understood what he meant by live capture. These b*st*rds got themselves captured by their targets. They were absolutely shameful.
Even though Meng Xi carried an air of arrogance, her individual abilities were extremely weak. Even after she hired some strong subordinates, they were beaten to a pulp. There was no way she could get away now.
That was what rich people were like. Even if they lost, they would maintain their pride. Meng Xi was the same, so she didn’t turn to leave. Instead, she beckoned Rockabye casually as he moved a stool to Meng Xi. She sat across Quan Zhen Sect leisurely.
...
“I’m coming!”
All of a sudden, Quan Zhen Sect members heard Meng Xi’s voice too. They put their glasses down hurriedly as they shot warning looks toward Wang Yu, whose back was facing the door.
Wang Yu turned around and spotted Meng Xi behind him. He stood up casually and asked confusedly, “Who are you? Did my father really arrange an engagement for me with someone like you?”
As expected of the man who had fiancees all over the world. Wang Yu himself didn’t even know how many he had.
“?”
When Meng Xi heard this, a question mark appeared above her head as she asked, “Who are you?”
Without waiting for Wang Yu to respond, Fearless pointed at Wang Yu and said, “This is Iron Bull, the man you’ve been looking for!”
“Iron Bull? Who?” Meng Xi paused for a moment before she continued, “I’ve never heard of this person. Why am I looking for this man?”
“Ah...?!”
When Meng Xi said this, everyone in Quan Zhen Sect looked distraught. Wang Yu was tongue-tied too. Thinking back to how he shamelessly declared this woman as one of his fiancees, he looked embarrassed.
“Are you sure you’re not here for him?” Fearless confirmed this as he pointed at Wang Yu.
Who else would have the ability to pull a rich woman like this here?
“I’m not!” Meng Xi shook her head and continued, “The person I’m looking for is Frost Blade!”
“Frost... Frost Blade? Are you sure?”
This time, Quan Zhen Sect members were thrown off guard. Frost Blade was nothing more than a small merchant. He didn’t have any capabilities or looks. Other than a little bit of money, he didn’t have a single redeeming point. How would any of them know someone like that?
One had to understand that this girl had enough money to hire half the Sacred Hall Squad to do her biddings. Someone like this didn’t just have money. Frost Blade’s money meant nothing to her; to her, he was just a poor person.
“What? Quan Zhen Sect doesn’t have this person?” When Meng Xi saw Quan Zhen Sect members’ expression, she added, “His name is Yao Hao!”
“F*ck!””It’s really him!”
Now that they had his real name too, Quan Zhen Sect members erupted. They didn’t expect this. Was Frost Blade also a wealthy boy with power?
“So, you know him!”
With Quan Zhen Sect members’ reaction, Meng Xi asked again, “Can you tell me where he is?”
“Where he is? We don’t know that.” Fearless shook his head, “But I can get him to come online to meet you.”
Fearless and Frost Blade had been acquainted for some time. They were brothers who understood everything about each other. Frost Blade wasn’t like Wang Yu. This boy was awfully single. He didn’t have a wife nor a girlfriend. In fact, he seemed to be uninterested in women. However, a beautiful, rich girl was looking for him now. Naturally, Fearless was happy to lend a hand...
“Is that so?” Seeing Fearless’ helpfulness, she asked suspiciously, “If that’s the case, why didn’t you say so earlier? Did you have to bring things to this extent?”
“Uh...” Fearless rubbed his nose as he looked at Wang Yu awkwardly, “Well, it’s because we have someone special in our guild... he really hates this.”
Wang Yu, “...”
“That has nothing to do with me.” Meng Xi waved her hands, “Can you call him over now?”
“That...” Fearless rubbed his chin, “Frost Blade hasn’t come online for a long time. I’m guessing that it’s because of you? If I ask him to come, wouldn’t that be selling him out? You know that Quan Zhen Sect never betrays their people.”
“This...”
Hearing this, Meng Xi looked dejected. However, what could she do? She couldn’t force them; was she going to throw a tantrum instead?
“Since it can’t be helped, we’ll leave!”
Meng Xi was decisive. Waving at Quan Zhen Sect, she stood up as she was about to leave with Rockabye.
“Hold up!”
However, Meng Xi hadn’t even taken two steps when Fearless called out to her again.
“What? Do you have something else?” Meng Xi turned and asked.
Fearless pointed at Rockabye and the others. “Hand over the payment to take them. 100,000 gold per person. There’s a total of six. Since you might be our brother’s previous girlfriend, we’ll give you a discount. 500,000 gold will do.”
Wang Yu wasn’t around the day before. Rockabye and the others put Quan Zhen Sect through hell. Now that they captured the Sacred Hall Squad live, asking for payment was a given.
Meng Xi glanced at her subordinates. Without saying much, she pulled out 500,000 gold from her bag and tossed it to Fearless.
“Sshh...”
Seeing that this girl didn’t even wince after handing 500,000 gold over, Quan Zhen Sect members stirred restlessly.
The girl didn’t lack money. 500,000 gold would make them think twice before they even tossed an amount out. However, she acted as if she were just throwing a dollar out.
The world of the rich was unimaginable for regular people.
“That...”
Meng Xi conquered Fearless and the others so effortlessly. Fearless cleared his throat as he took the money, “I said that I wouldn’t betray a brother so easily, but if the price is right, I’ll be more than happy to get him online.”
“Hmph!” Meng Xi responded coldly, “If you have a condition, just say it straight! How much do you want?”
Fearless extended all his fingers. “500,000 gold. Also, tell me who told you to assassinate the City Lord!”
“1,000,000 gold!”
Meng Xi said this calmly. It felt like 1,000,000 gold was just a figure. Quan Zhen Sect members were completely stunned.
“Alright.” Fearless smiled, “1,000,000 gold it is. Just because you don’t tell me, do you think I wouldn’t know that Void Blade’s men were the ones to send out these orders?”
