Chapter 568 - Chapter 568: Chapter 568: 10,000,000 Each Person (2/2)
“If I’m not mistaken, you want to drive Duo Geli out and then monopolize the treasures here, right?”
Barto’s gaze suddenly became evasive.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Our generations’ duty has been to guard everything here; how could I possibly claim it for my own?”
Chen Yu looked on disdainfully, casting a cold gaze over everyone present.
“Most of you here have had such thoughts, guarding a mound of treasure but not being able to spend it! Having to constantly face outsiders’ coveting, you all must be fed up, aren’t you?”
These words struck right into the hearts of the people, many of whom bowed their heads.
They had all entertained the thought, even if just sneaking a little out.
But this place was all too well known; the moment they left here with the treasures, they’d immediately face pursuit.
At this moment, Chen Yu had already spread his system out, and everything here was laid bare in his mind.
There was an ancient city underneath this desert, filled with copious amounts of gold and jewels.
If all these things were dug out, it would be enough to buy a country.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I know you’ve had a hard time here. I can now offer you an opportunity; if you abandon your duty guarding the treasure and leave this place, I will give each of you ten million!”
The scene immediately erupted into commotion, everyone staring at Chen Yu with a strange look, their gazes still wavering between Duo Geli and Barto, as if seeking consent.
Barto’s breathing became rapid, and he looked at Chen Yu with eager eyes.
“Can you really give each of us ten million?”
Chen Yu didn’t say much, simply taking out a stack of banknotes from his person.
“These banknotes are of various denominations; you can discuss among yourselves who takes which. I guarantee these can be used anywhere.”
Immediately, more than half of the people there put down their weapons and rushed to Chen Yu’s side.
Seeing this, Duo Geli became agitated, stepping forward and seizing Chen Yu’s shoulders.
“What are you trying to do? We’ve protected this place for so many years, do you want to scatter us?”
Chen Yu’s face bore a smile, “If these people’s hearts are not in it, do you think it’s of any use to forcibly keep them here? It’s better to give them some money and let them go.”
Duo Geli sighed helplessly; he understood the situation here all too well. Long ago, he had wanted to dismiss those who were unwilling to stay, but according to the rules passed down by ancestors, they couldn’t easily use the treasures from the underground palace, only allowed to pick up some small items from the edges to ensure survival.
After receiving the money, these people left the place through a secret passage next to them.
In the end, only eight people remained in the vast square.
Duo Geli looked at his brothers with satisfaction, yet the last line of defense within him completely crumbled.
“Forget it, you’ve already spent so many tough years here, no need to spend your lives here, let’s go.”
Chen Yu still stepped forward cooperatively, taking out a banknote with a face value of one hundred million.
To his surprise, the eight men had a strong sense of pride and knelt on the ground.
“Big brother, we can’t leave. If even we go, who will honor our ancestors’ promise?”
“Right, what we are guarding is not the treasure but the credibility of generations.”
“Anyway, before my dad left, he told me to stay here all my life, never to leave.”
