Chapter 217: Ten Times Compensation

Chapter 217: Ten Times Compensation

This isnt good Boss Lin has messed with the wrong person this time around!

To think that he would be this unlucky!

Even our Dragonback Lanes chief is only at ninth stage Ki Refinement I wonder how hed deal with this matter.

Such murmurs could be heard from the doorway. Those who cooperated with Lin Yuezheng earlier to pressure Fang Chen cowered, fearing that they would catch Fang Chens attention.

Lin Yuzheng and Lu Pings bodies stiffened up. Even their breathing became ragged. This was a symptom of extreme fear. They had never been so afraid in their life before!

Fang Chen looked at Manager Li with a mocking smile. You asked who I am? Didnt I tell you earlier? Im from the Fang Clan.

D-Daoist Fang, its all a misunderstanding. Ill reinvestigate this matter. If they really extorted you, Ill deal with them in accordance with our Dragonback Lanes rules. Manager Li hurriedly changed his tune.

How can a tree grow straight when its base is crooked? You said you would reinvestigate this matter? Fang Chen chuckled softly. He walked up to Manager Li and softly hit his face a couple times. You expect me to believe that? Youd just find an excuse to sneak them out. How should I redress my grievance then? Am I supposed to take this lying?

Manager Lis body stiffened up. He was angered by Fang Chens humiliation, but he dared not to fight back.

Hierarchy was strict among cultivators. There was a huge difference between seventh rank and eighth rank Ki Refinement cultivators. He dared not to make a reckless move, especially when he hadnt gotten to the bottom of Fang Chens background.

Manager Li was silent for a few seconds before he asked, Daoist Fang, what do you suggest?

I want tenfold compensation. Since he tried to extort 50 low-grade ki stones from me, I want him to compensate me with 500. You'll fork out the rest if the two of them dont have enough, Fang Chen said with a smile. Thats the price of colluding with them against me.

Manager Lis face warped in shock. The crowd also gasped in astonishment.

500 low-grade ki stones?

That was a massive sum they dared not dream about.

Those who had 20 low-grade ki stones could already be considered wealthy. In fact, most cultivators in Dragonback Lane would struggle to raise even 10 low-grade ki stones, and some even had completely empty pockets.

Lu Ping fell to his knees and cried, I-I only have 8 low-grade ki stones

I understand.

Song Yu ordered his men to confiscate the trios assets.

Lu Ping, who claimed to have only 8 low-grade ki stones in his assets, turned out to have 40 low-grade ki stones. Lin Yuezheng had 130 low-grade ki stones. Manager Li was the wealthiest one of all, boasting assets totaling 300 low-grade ki stones.

The crowd gasped. They looked at Manager Li with eyes filled with envy and dissatisfaction.

A mere seventh stage Ki Refinement cultivator actually accrued over 300 low-grade ki stones; this showed how much shady deals he had made through exploiting the influence he boasted in Dragonback Lane!

The trios fortunes totaled 470 low-grade ki stones.

Song Yu didnt hesitate to fork out the remaining 30 low-grade ki stones from his pocket.

Within two short hours, 500 low-grade ki stones fell into Fang Chens pocket.

Manager Li and the others stood on the spot with tearful faces, looking as if their families had been killed. Rather than fearing death, they were more upset about losing their possessions.

Those were their life earnings!

The three of you can scram from the Dragonback Lane. Never set foot here again, Song Yu said.

Manager Li was stunned. He kneeled on the floor and cried, Chief, I know I have done wrong. Please dont kick me out!

Lin Yuezheng and Lu Ping did the same and pleaded for mercy too.

It was already lucky for unaffiliated cultivators like them to find a place like the Dragonback Lane at all. It was questionable whether they could find another place similar to this even if they spent the next few decades searching around.

Without the access to such a market, they wouldnt be able to acquire spirit materials and earn ki stones. They thought that was as good as taking their lives!

Leave before I make a move. Song Yu impatiently waved his hand.

Manager Li sucked his tears back in. He knew that Song Yu had made up his mind, so he quietly stood up and left. The other two did the same and hurriedly fled from the scene. They dared not to even glance at Fang Chen.

Young friend, what do you intend to acquire in our Dragonback Lane? Shall I accompany you in your search? Song Yu asked with a smile.
