Chapter 193: 193: Really Started Taking Action?
As everyone was stunned, Jiang Xiaobai spoke again, “You’re not only refusing to pay but also trying to issue me a verbal cheque so that I can work for your Thousand Yuan Dynasty?”
“Fifty billion eventually turned into five billion. Well done, you guys from the city lord’s mansion sure know how to count!”
There was an uproar around them. Everyone had wide eyes, staring intently at Wang Laowu and Jiang Xiaobai.
One by one, their faces wore expressions of schadenfreude.
Some even ran to the nearby teahouse, brought back some melon seeds and tea, and started munching while watching.
“Looks like the city lord’s mansion has met their match this time.”
“Humph, what match? It’s clear that the city lord’s mansion is in the wrong.
This is called standing up for one’s rights! ”
“Oh, please. With the Thousand Yuan Dynasty backing them, who dares to challenge them? As for standing up for rights, if it were you, you’d probably be laughing so hard you couldn’t close your mouth when you heard the conditions.”
“Exactly, this is a case of being bold due to superior ability. Let’s see how it plays out. However, I have a feeling that this might escalate.”
At this moment, Wang Laowu was feeling uneasy and distressed. His forehead was sweaty and he glared at Jiang Xiaobai in silent anger.
“Young Master Hong, that’s not what we mean, we… ‘
“Enough with the explanations. Now, I want you guys to pay up. If you won’t, I’ll go directly to the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. It’s all written black and white here. I don’t believe a powerful force like the Yuan Dynasty would renege on their obligations! ”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed coldly.
Now he has seen it clearly. The city lord’s mansion and its men don’t dare to escalate the situation due to fear.
He could take this opportunity to mess with the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. After all, he knew that the city lord’s mansion wouldn’t be able to cough up so much money. Jiang Xiaobai had always intended to use this opportunity to cause them trouble.
It would be best if he could get the money; if not, he would have a reason to seize it, wouldn’t he?
The people around, also astonished at Jiang Xiaobai’s words.
This guy is courting death, asking for money from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty?
In the entire Eastern Central State, who the fuck dare?
“Enough!”
At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked out of the city lord’s mansion. Leading them was a middle-aged man, the city lord of this city, Gu Xian.
There were many powerful individuals beside him, all in the late stages of the Yuan Infant, and over a dozen in the mid-stages of Transcendence.
The group surrounded Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan, dispersing the onlookers.
“This young friend, there was indeed a misunderstanding on our side. But you should consider the real situation.”
Gu Xian said calmly, “The betting limit is clearly stipulated as twenty million. You bet so much money, I can totally disregard it and give you, at most, one billion. ”
“Now, with five billion high-quality spirit stones and the goodwill from my mansion, it’s already quite generous. I advise you not to be ungrateful.”
Gu Xian appearing and uttering these words made Wang Laowu breathe a sigh of relief.
Truly befitting of the city lord, his intervention really made a difference.
Jiang Xiaobai was still nonchalant, “No matter what you guys say, the written agreement is right here, and I can rightfully claim it no matter where we are.”
“Now you have two options. Pay me, or I will personally go to that fucking Dynasty to get my money! ”
Such words could only be described as insane!
The people of the city lord’s mansion couldn’t believe their ears.
Fuck, someone actually dared to threaten them?
Gu Xian was also shaking with anger. He just wanted to take action right there and then; wanted to end Jiang Xiaobai completely.
However, this was happening in public, and many people already knew about this matter.
If he killed Jiang Xiaobai in public, it would harm his reputation and have a serious impact on their plans.
“Haha, you’re brave.”
“To tell you the truth, we really don’t have so much money. However, you also have a point. I can help connect you with the Dynasty.”
“Now, please come rest in my mansion while we sort this out. How’s that?”
With Gu Xian seemingly backing down, it looked as if the matter was resolved. But Jiang Xiaobai was no idiot. Anyone with eyes could tell what would happen if he entered the mansion now.
Gu Xian clearly intended to kill him!
“No need, since you can’t pay, I’m going to the thousand Yuan Dynasty now.”
“There’s no need for you to see me off.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed, turned around, and was about to leave.
But how could the experts from the city lord’s mansion let Jiang Xiaobai leave so easily? They stepped forward, tightening their encirclement, trapping the two of them within.
“So, you’re not letting me go?” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes.
If worst comes to worst, he would just fight them. These powerful people didn’t mean much to Jiang Xiaobai.
He could activate Yuan Hong, flip them over, and then escape.
He was already quite familiar with such routines. “Kid, you’re not taking the opportunity we’re giving.”
At this moment, Gu Xian’s face was also cold.
“I’ll give you one last choice. Now, I’ll give you one billion high-quality spirit stones, and we forget this incident. If not, don’t blame me for being unreasonable!”
Jiang Xiaobai, of course, didn’t take such threats seriously.
“Boss, don’t fear them. If push comes to shove, we’ll just fight.” AnRan was excited. Finally, they could bully the likes of the city lord’s mansion again!
He had already activated his spiritual power and was holding his thick black stick, ready to strike if the situation turned ugly.
Jiang Xiaobai calmly looked at Gu Xian, “City Lord, perhaps there’s something you’re misunderstanding.”
“Right now, it’s not you negotiating with me. It’s me negotiating with you.”
“And you don’t have the leverage to threaten me.”
“What a joke!”
Gu Xian burst out laughing, then his face suddenly turned cold, “Kid, you’re the first one who dares to threaten me. It would truly be rude of me if I don’t treat you properly.”
“Arrest him and take him to the city lord’s mansion’s jail. I want to see how you’re going to negotiate with me once you’re in there!”
Suddenly, the entire place erupted into chaos.
The experts from the city lord’s mansion were ready to take action and moved closer, trapping the two inside.
AnRan also ramped up his spiritual power, waiting for Jiang Xiaobai’s command to take action.
“Great, the people of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty really are all the same.”
“Since you’re not giving me face, don’t blame me then.” Jiang Xiaobai sneered and drew a long sword.
“Ignorant fool, attack!” Seeing this, Gu Xian coldly snorted.
Immediately, the strongmen around rushed towards Jiang Xiaobai.
The frontliners were mainly the late-stage Yuan Infant underlings, whom Jiang Xiaobai didn’t regard as a threat at all.
With a sweep of his sword, a group of men were immediately sent flying. AnRan also swung his thick black stick, knocking over a vast section.
“Fuck, a fight’s really started!”
“They must have lost their minds, fighting in the Qiankun City?”
“It’s all over now. These two are dead meat.. Even if they’re in the right now, it won’t matter — violating the iron law of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty means certain death!”
