Chapter 549 - : Reward (2)

“Okay, Grandpa Du, then I’ll have to trouble you to deal with these people first. They occupy too much space!” Leng Ruoxue said very disdainfully. Hmph! She wouldn’t have saved them if she knew they were so stubborn!

“Okay, no problem. Leave it to me,” the little old man replied. Then he raised a hand above his head and prepared to attack!

“Wait.” Leng Ruoxue suddenly stopped the little old man before he could do anything.

“Lass, don’t be soft-hearted! Some people are not worth it,” the little old man advised.

“Grandpa Du, you’re mistaken. I want them to pay for the rooms and meals over the past few days. I’m not obligated to raise them for nothing,” Leng Ruoxue explained with a smile. After saving these people, she hid them in the guest room she booked for Carefree Hall, so she paid for their meals and lodging these few days!

“Yes, that makes sense. Return the money you owe the girl first, and then I’ll deal with you.” The little old man nodded and ordered the dozens of elders with very ugly expressions.

“Your Excellency Du Min, your status in the Alchemist Association is extraordinary. How can you help outsiders bully us?” an elder questioned with slight dissatisfaction. In fact, he didn’t think Du Min would really kill them, so he was fearless!

“Outsiders? To me, you are the outsiders,” the little old man said emotionlessly, despising these elders who still couldn’t see the situation clearly.

“Your Excellency Du Min, everything is negotiable. It’s really a little difficult for us to seek justice for Zheng En now,” another elder mediated.

“What do you mean?” The little old man narrowed his eyes and asked lightly.

“Your Excellency Du Min, you should be aware of the situation in the headquarters. We are also being investigated by the headquarters now, so we have no way to clear Zheng En’s name,” the elder explained with a troubled expression.

“Yes!”

The other elders quickly echoed.

“Do you mean that you want us to help you snatch back the Alchemist Association Headquarters?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a light smile, her beautiful face full of realization. Hmph! These old foxes finally revealed their fox tails!

“If you are willing to help, we will immediately clear Zheng En’s name after we obtain control of the headquarters,” the elder said hurriedly. He might not have interacted with Leng Ruoxue for long, but he was very impressed with Leng Ruoxue’s methods.

“You’re negotiating with me!” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently, no joy or anger on her beautiful face!

“Uh! We just hope that Miss Leng can help,” the elder said very sincerely.

“No! We don’t care even if you can’t clear Zheng En’s name. Anyway, the Alchemist Association has been laid to waste. Isn’t it not so important to clear her name!” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. Hmph! The person who could threaten her hadn’t been born yet! How could she be threatened by a few disheveled old men!

“…”

The elders were stunned. None of them expected Leng Ruoxue to refuse so directly. This was a little unexpected and also made them not mentally prepared because this was far from what they had originally imagined! The reason why they didn’t immediately agree to return Zheng En’s innocence was also because they hoped to hold the initiative in the negotiation. However, Leng Ruoxue actually didn’t play according to the rules!

“Miss Leng, what should we do to make you willing to help us?” Another elder couldn’t help asking. Sun Wei was in Leng Ruoxue’s hands, and they couldn’t take back the authority of the headquarters with their strength, so they really needed Leng Ruoxue’s help.

“It’s impossible for me to help you, but you can pay me. I can help you if the remuneration is satisfactory.” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. In fact, she had decided to ruthlessly kill them since she sent people to save these old men! Who asked them to actually dare to bully her people! Hmph!

“Then how much do you want, Miss Leng?” an elder asked while enduring the pain.

“Not much. I just want two-thirds of your headquarters’ assets,” Leng Ruoxue said very kindly.

“…”

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the elders, and their hearts fluttered. Wasn’t two-thirds more than that? One had to know that it was the wealth accumulated by the Alchemist Association for thousands of years! Two-thirds of it was gone in an instant by her exorbitant demand! It was really too despicable!

“What? You can’t bear to? Then forget it.” Leng Ruoxue shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

“Erm… Miss Leng, can we discuss it?” an elder asked.

“Okay, discuss it nicely. However, my patience is limited,” Leng Ruoxue warned, implying that she would not wait for them for long.

“Okay,” the elders replied. Then they walked to another corner and discussed it!

“Miss, will they agree?” Zheng En asked curiously. Just as Miss said, it was no longer important if the Alchemist Association did not clear his name because Sun Wei had already said it himself, and many people had already heard it. This was enough for him!

“Yes,” Leng Ruoxue said with certainty.

“Little Snowy, you’re ruthless!” Lan Ming said with admiration. Boohoo… He realized that the price Little Snowy offered him was already considered very cheap!

“We have to attack when the time comes! Who asked them to care so much about the Alchemist Association!” Leng Ruoxue said with a smile. Those who dared to bully her and dared to threaten her had to pay the price!

“Miss, what should we do with Sun Wei?” Zheng En suddenly asked.

“Do you want to kill him?” Leng Ruoxue asked in return. Sun Wei was now in an illusion that she got Confound to set up. That illusion had a huge impact on people’s hearts and would cause them to hallucinate. That was why Sun Wei thought he was really in hell, and fear had already taken root in his heart!

“No, I don’t want to dirty my hands.” Zheng En thought for a while and said. In fact, he really wanted to kill Sun Wei with his own hands previously, but now he felt that there was no need because Sun Wei’s spirit in the illusion had already been greatly stimulated. There was no sense of accomplishment even if he killed Sun Wei now!
