1483 500 Million Spiritual Stones

"Big Bro Chen… When you said that your friend invited you to a meal… did you mean going to the Northern Wilderness's temple for the state banquet?" Linghu Shuang dared not believe her ears.

"Yeah." Chen Xiaobei answered in an insouciant tone, as if it was no big deal. "I already said that I'm in a hurry because I didn't want to be late."

"Wow! This is so cool! Why didn't you say so earlier? I've been worrying my head off the whole time!" Linghu Shuang exhaled.

Chen Xiaobei had suddenly become the Northern Wilderness Overlord's distinguished guest at the state banquet banquet. Even if Tie Hongji had balls of steel, he would not dare touch a hair on Chen Xiaobei!

"Mr. Chen, we'd better hurry!" Ximen Dingjun said, looking at his watch. "The banquet is going to start soon. Some of the most powerful people of Divine Cloud Planet will be there! Father would be looking for someone to blame if we're late!"

"Heh, he would never blame me no matter what!" Chen Xiaobei looked at Tie Hongji from the corner of his eyes, and said, "Isn't that right, Tie Gongji?"

"Huh?" Tie Hongqi was already sweating under his arms.

Clearly, if Chen Xiaobei really was late, the only person the Overlord would be blaming was Tie Hongji!

If this idiot had not been so unreasonable as to make things difficult for Chen Xiaobei, why else would Chen Xiaobei be late?"

"A misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding!" Tie Hongji said in almost a whisper, "Mr. Chen, everything that happened just now is all my fault. Please hurry and get to the banquet. Better not make those big shots wait anymore."

"Hehe, do you know the saying 'it's easier to invite the devil in than to send him away'?" Chen Xiaobei replied. "If the transaction had gone without interruption just now, I would already be at the banquet now! But since you stood in my way, don't think it's going to be that easy to get rid of me!"

Tie Hongji inhaled nervously. "Mr. Chen! Bro Chen! Master Chen! Please, I beg you. This is not something to be joking about!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chen Xiaobei retorted with a sudden seriousness in his tone.

"I…"

Tie Hongji was in such a panic that his mind went blank.

If the Northern Overlord decided to put the blame on him, Tie Hongji would not be able to bear the consequences.

Ximen Dingjun barked. "What! Get your men to bring the Spiritual Stones out now and complete the transaction with Mr. Chen!"

"Transaction? Yes! Yes! Yes! How did I even forget about that!" Tie Hongji then then gave the order, "Bao Qingshan! Go and get 250 million low-grade Spiritual Stones now! Hurry! Hurry up!"

"Yes, sir!" Bao Qingshan nodded and immediately turned to leave.

"Stay there!" Chen Xiaobei shouted. "I accepted 250 million just now, but now I won't accept this price!"

"You won't accept it? Then why don't you give me an offer and I will do my best to meet it?" Tie Hongji was termbling from head to toe.

The 250 million low-grade Spiritual Stones that were agreed upon at the beginning of the transaction was forcefully reduced to 250 by Tie Hongji in a bid to humiliate Chen Xiaobei.

Of course, Chen Xiaobei was going to give Tie Hongji a taste of his own medicine, and teach him a lesson that would scar him for life!

"500 million!" Chen Xiaobei announced.

These words shook everyone who heard it.

500 million low-grade Spiritual Stones!

Other than the Northern Wilderness Temple and the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce, no other organization could take out so many Spiritual Stones in one go.

Of course, this is not to say that the others did not have so many Spiritual Stones, but for them to take out such a sum all at once would require them to sell their family fortunes!

This was a huge sum of Spiritual Stones! A frighteningly huge one!

"Mr. Chen, you cannot just double the price like that! This is like looting a burning house!" Tie Hongji broke down in tears. He was so distressed that he considered ending his own life.

"That's right, I am looting a burning house! If you're not happy with that, then bite me! Let me get this straight... if you don't agree to the price, I won't leave this place today! The banquet will be starting very soon. Can you take a guess, and see if the Overlord himself would come and pay us a visit?"

Tie Hongji held his breath. "Mr. Chen, you… You are a very kind person. Please lower the price a little. If my father finds out that I lost so many Spiritual Stones, he would break my legs!"

"Heheh, you want to bargain? No problem!" Chen Xiaobei grinned.

Tie Hongji was over the moon. "Mr. Chen! You really are a very good person!"

"Good person? No, I'm not actually!" Chen Xiaobei said. "If you kneel down and kowtow to me, I will reduce the amount by 100 thousand! How much the reduction will be depends on your performance!"

"What?!" Tie Hongji's eyeballs neatly popped out of their sockets.

This was the classic case of 'revenge is a matter of time'!

Just now, Tie Hongji came down hard on Chen Xiaobei. Now, it was payback time!

If he really paid 500 million low-grade Spiritual Stones, Tie Hongji's father would break his legs! But if he went down on his knees and kowtowed, he would become the laughing stock of Northern Wilderness Starfield!

"Ninth Young Lord, please say something about this. You are not going to let me die here, right?"

Rendered with no other options, Tie Hongji could only ask help from Ximen Dingjun.

Ximen Dingjun frowned. "Mr. Chen, you could give me some face, and lower the price a little?"

"No!"

Before Xiemen Dingjun could finish, Chen Xiaobei had already turned him down. His tone was firm and unyielding!

Xiemen Dingjun narrowed his eyes, revealing a flicker of irritation towards Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei noticed this, and was able to get a confirmation that Ximen Dingjun was unreliable!

If it was not for the Overlord waiting for him, Ximen Dingjun would have sided with Tie Hongji!

Chen Xiaobei had thought that Ximen Dingjun would have been grateful to him for saving his life and treat him as his own friend but it seemed like Chen Xiaobei was wrong.

Ximen Dingjun, this piece of shit, was not someone to be friends with. He would be better off as a dog!

From then on, Chen Xiaobei decided that he was going to reserve one of the seven remaining Heavenly Dog Biscuits for Ximen Dingjun!

After a moment, Ximeng Dingjun said, gritting his teeth, "Hongji! Since Mr. Chen is refusing to lower the price, just do as he says and bring 500 million low-grade Spiritual Stones!"

"Ho… How can I? My father will kill me!" Tie Hongji sniffled.

"Cut this nonsense! There's not enough time even if you want to kowtow!" Ximen Dingjun barked.

Tie Hongji melted into a puddle. "Yes, I understand. I'll go get them now."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

He had no choice but to pay up.

Once the Spiritual Stones were handed over and the numbers checked out, Chen Xiaobei retrieved all of the Demonic Beast corpses. This was a trade after all, and he would have to hand over the merchandise, or it might attract gossip.

Of course, this was a fruitful yield!

Chen Xiaobei's face appeared stern and stony but inside, he was smiling like a madman.
