Chapter 438 (1/2)
“The barbarian princess! Her starting price is one thousand five hundred gold!” The old woman shouted. However, before she could even finish her sentence, somebody else already bidded.
“One thousand five hundred and ten gold!” One thousand five hundred gold is too much money. Even if the people fancied her, they would think for a while. The minimum increase for the main course was also ten gold.
“Who is that?” The Huang brothers frowned. The person that placed the bid had come from Sky 8. The Huang brothers thought that only Kuai Ran and w.a.n.g Shu from Sky 14 and Cai He from Sky 10 could compete against them.
Huang Chen’s gaze turned cold. Despite all the greeting earlier, there were still people who refused to give them face. He asked them angrily. “Sky 8! Are you not giving us face?”
“Face? Why should I, Zhang Li, give you face? If it was not because of Kuai Ran, I would not have let you take those few Yangzhou women so easily!” The man in Sky 8 replied.
“Zhang Li!” This person was the Zhang Family’s heir. The Zhang Family was also quite influential and usually followed the Cai Family’s lead. Cai Mao was the Military Advisor of the JIngzhou. On the other hand, Zhang Yun was one of the generals under Cai Mao.
Huang Kai pulled his little brother to the side and advised with a sneer. “Don’t get angry. After all, we are going to make someone else pay for this! There is no point arguing with a dog.” Huang Kai called Zhang Ji a dog because of the relations.h.i.+p between the Zhang Family and the Cai Family. Zhang Li and Cai He were about the same age and were very close to each other. If Zhang Li does something, you can be sure that Cai He was involved somehow.
Huang Kai was really good at guessing. Cai He did stop by to greet Zhang Li before leaving. The Cai Family were also allies to the Kuai Family. This meant that they did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Huang Family. While Cai He did not want to oppose the Huang brothers, they are the one that started it by provoking Kuai Ran first. Cia He would not let such people go.
When the Huang brothers sent out greetings, Cai He left Zhang Li behind to annoy the Huang brothers.
“That’s right! Haha!” Huang Chen’s mood improved after hearing his brother’s explanation.
“You!” Zhang Li anger rose. The Zhang Family may follow the lead of the Cai Family but that doesn’t make them dogs.
“If I am a dog, what about you? Where is Huang She? Why is he not with you?” Zhang Li retorted. “I want to see how much money you have! One thousand six hundred gold!” Zhang Li angrily raised his bid.
“Haha! You don’t need to worry about whether we have money or not. One thousand seven hundred gold!” The Huang brothers said as they raised the price by another hundred gold.
“One thousand eight hundred gold!”
“One thousand nine hundred gold!”
“One thousand nine hundred gold?” Zhang Li frowned when he heard this. Was the Huang Family so rich? Could the Huang Family’s children really spend so much?
“One thousand nine hundred and fifty gold!” Zhang Li nervously said. He did not dare to compete against the Huang brothers anymore. Soon, it would be two thousand gold. While he, as the heir of the Zhang Family could take out two thousand gold, he would end up suffering a lot once his father finds out that he spent two thousand gold for one barbarian princess. He was not the only son. He still has two little brothers aiming for his position.
“What’s wrong? Has Lord Zhang run out of money? You are terrible at pretending to have money! If you have no money, don’t come and compete! Two thousand gold!”
“Who said I got no money? Two thousand five hundred gold!” Zhang Li shouted in anger.
The price shot up another five hundred gold immediately, causing murmurs. Two thousand five hundred gold was enough to support an army of twenty thousand. All of this just to sleep with a barbarian princess. These people were truly filthy rich.
Zhang Li immediately regretted after shouting out the price, not even knowing how he decided to bid two thousand five hundred gold. The brothel doesn’t care about your circ.u.mstances and they cannot be offended. It would be impossible not to pay the quoted price.
Zhang Li panicked. If he really got the barbarian princess for two thousand five hundred gold, his status as the heir to the Zhang Family was definitely finished. Meanwhile, the Huang brothers were still silent.
“Quickly! Quickly!” For the first time in his life, Zhang Li was dying to hear the voices of the Huang brothers.
“Two thousand five hundred gold!” The Huang brothers were also stunned. Zhang Li was mad. Even if she was a barbarian princess, she is definitely not worth two thousand five hundred gold.
“Brother. What do we do now?” Huang Chen asked.
“Little brother. Do you want to deal with Kuai Ran and w.a.n.g Shu or do you want to deal with Zhang Li and Cai He?” Huang Kai asked back.
“Is there a difference?”
“There is.” Huang Kai nodded. “If you want to deal with Kuai Ran and w.a.n.g Shu, we continue bidding. This is Zhang Li’s limit. If we add in what we owe the brothel from earlier, it would total up to four thousand six hundred gold. The Kuai Family can afford it but would definitely be painful for them. Kuai Ran may even be placed under house arrest. As for w.a.n.g Shu, he has to either fork out the money somehow or he would not even know how he die!”
“To deal with Zhang Li and Cai He, we will just make Zhang Li pay this two thousand five hundred gold. His two little brothers have been eyeing his position as heir. Once we drag Zhang Li down, we would also be offending Cai He!” Huang Kai’s a.n.a.lysis was good. Cai He will definitely not let things go if Zhang Li was dragged down.
Huang Chen thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s deal with Kuai Ran and w.a.n.g Shu! I definitely want w.a.n.g Shu to meet a tragic end!” He remembered being called a hero by w.a.n.g Shu angrily.
Liu Mang was someone who really had the attention of the entire Huang Family. Now, even Huang Chen wants him dead.
“Alright. Two thousand six hundred gold!” Huang Kai shouted, allowing Zhang Li to sigh in relief. Zhang Li had felt a bit grateful towards the Huang brothers. Huang Chen then said, “Zhang Li. We will spare you this time! You won’t have such good luck next time!”
