Chapter 90 The Regretful Yang Yunji (2/2)

“What? You really value your money more than your life?” Seeing Yang Yunji’s reluctance, Zhou Donghuang stared at him menacingly.

Seeing this, Yang Yunji was completely flustered and cried, “Young Master Donghuang, I’ll prepare it right away! I’ll get it right away!” Now, Yang Yunji was already planning to sell some of the family business to get enough money for this man… He could not afford to offend him!

“Mm,” muttered Zhou Donghuang as he nodded with satisfaction. He turned to the pale old man who had long since been frozen with fright. “Xiao Chen, Medicine Master Xiao?”

“Dong… Young Master Donghuang, do you have any instructions?” Thinking that he had escaped, Xiao Chen turned in fright when Zhou Donghuang called to him. His eyes were nervous.

“The poison that I treated, you said it was you… now you’re famous in the city?” Zhou Donghuang asked.

“Young Master Donghuang, I will announce to everyone that you were the one who treated Yang Yunji’s poison and not me!” Xiao Chen’s expression changed as he cried hurriedly.

“No need,” said Zhou Donghuang as he shook his head. “I don’t care what they are saying… your fame must be worth five million liang?” With that, Zhou Donghuang looked hard at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s face turned pale as he heard what Zhou Donghuang had just demanded. “Five… five million liang?”

He could fork out this sum. But once he did, that would be all his life’s savings.

“Why? You can’t do it?” Zhou Donghuang asked as his eyes flashed coldly.

Sensing Zhou Donghuang’s murderous glint, Xiao Chen broke out in a cold sweat as he shook his head hurriedly, “I can! I can!”

Money lost could be earned again. But once he lost his life, that was it. Xiao Chen understood this.

“Very good,” said Zhou Donghuang as he nodded. “Later, I will send someone to collect it from the Shi family. You better prepare it soon, if I don’t receive the money, I’ll come here to look for you. By then, it won’t be just a mere five million liang.” With that, Zhou Donghuang glared at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen immediately agreed, “Young Master Donghuang, don’t worry, I will prepare the money in the next two days!”

“Shi family…” Zhou Donghuang’s eyes landed on Shi Ji, who was staring forlornly at the body of his son, Shi Hao. Zhou Donghuang said calmly, “Ten million liang should be reasonable for the Shi family?” His eyes landed on Shi Yu as his lips curled into a murderous smile. “If not, you can also… leave Shi Yu with me.”

Shi Yu had been influential in this whole incident. Hearing this, Shi Yu’s expression changed as he dropped to his knees with fright, screaming, “Grandfather, save me!! Save me!!”

Shi Ji said gravely, “Young Master Donghuang, don’t worry, we will prepare the ten million liang within two days.” Today, even though he was a level-eight adept and the pillar of strength of the tycoon Shi family, he could do nothing but accede to the request. The young man was simply too strong. Even if he was not a level-nine adept, he had to be among the strongest level-eight adepts and definitely not someone the Shi family could afford to offend.

“Old Chief Shi is decisive,” said Zhou Donghuang with a smile. He then turned to call the two girls behind him as they left arrogantly.

After their figures had disappeared out of sight, Shi Yu turned to Shi Ji as he cried with hatred, “Grandfather, we must avenge Father’s death!”

“Revenge?” Shi Ji laughed. “Even I am not his match… why don’t you tell me how we will take revenge?”

“Grandfather, we can sue him in the Chu royal household!” suggested Shi Yu.

“Chu royal household?” Shi Ji shook his head as he said, “Though he killed your father, it was a simple act of revenge… even if it wasn’t, your father’s death doesn’t affect the Shi family, as we are still a tycoon family. The Chu royal court will not care.”

Shi Yu was silent.

“Our Yang family… missed out on a huge opportunity!” Here, the most regretful one was none other than Yang Yunji, the chief of the Yang family. He would never have thought that this teenager that he had looked down upon would be such a powerful man… if the young man had been on good terms with his niece and stayed on in the Yang family, he could have led the family to become a tycoon family!

The Yang family had missed their chance to become a tycoon family.
