73 Pay With Your Life! (2/2)

For most super-rich magnets, it was not uncommon to invest ten billion yuan in developing a shopping mall or office building. However, there was a difference between investment and expenses. One can always resell the investment, but the pills were gone forever once eaten, and so was the money used to pay for them.

Even among the richest people in the world, only a very small handful of people could afford to spend ten billion yuan on something that yielded no return, the number was even smaller in China. At any rate, The Zheng Family of Hong Kong was definitely not one of them.

”What makes you think that I am going to pay ten billion?” Zheng Anqi paused and looked at Mr. Shi with a smirk.

Mr. Shi's face darkened.

”So you want to—”

Zheng Anqi cut him short with a smug smile.

”Did you see me sign any contract with him? No.

”There is no proof that I had to agree to pay him ten billion. What could he do to me? Sue me? I doubt he could afford a lawyer.”

She sneered at Chen Fan with a cold snort.

”Yes, he will find out that I lied to him, so what?

”As I said before, we live in a modern society now and the most powerful weapon in this day and age is law, and not martial arts and Dharma Spells.

”I have forced myself to tolerate him only because we are in Zhong Zhou Province. If this happens in Hong Kong, I will make sure he comes to beg me to spare his life.”

After she had finished ranting, she turned around and started off without waiting for Mr. Shi's reply.

Mr. Shi was going to say something, but the words got caught in his throat and eventually turned into a long sigh.

”Miss. Zheng, you are too young and too simple.

”It is not that easy to get away with cheating a cultivator.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Chen Fan had already reached a high level of attainment in his cultivation.

In the Daoist vocabulary, they call him a perfected master, while in the Buddhist world, monks would call him a guru.

A perfected master was able to turn wind into the blade, their breath into thunder. They could not be harmed by any natural elements and could summon thunder on a whim. She would be naive to think that she could get away with shorting the payment.

Mr. Shi shook his head and murmured: ”I will have to talk to Lord Zheng when I get back to Hong Kong. We need to put down at least a few hundred million first. There will be many negotiations ahead of me; after all, Master Chen's price is simply too steep.

”If I keep letting Miss Zheng be in charge of this matter, the Zheng family will be gone in a short period of time.”

After Miss Zheng had left, Master Wu came over to Chen Fan and said agitatedly.

”Master Chen, how could you let her take all the pills?”

”What if they don't pay us a penny? What if they can't afford it?”

”It doesn't matter if they can afford it or not. They had agreed to pay me, so they will, one way or another.”

Chen Fan's eyes held a luster that threatened to kill.

Seeing the light in Chen Fan's eyes, Master Wu could not help but think about what happened to Xin Zhong.

Master Chen had made a similar agreement with Xin Zhong, and if Xin Zhong didn't pay the forty-five million yuan in time, he wouldn't have a chance to live until the martial arts tournament.

In the eyes of Master Chen, human life was as worthless as that of an ant. He could end it on a whim without feeling any guilt.

The thought sent a chill down Master Wu's spine, and so he decided to keep his silence.

Chen Fan sat on a giant stone, eyes half-closed as he fell into deep thought.

”People on this planet were so convinced that their rule was the only thing that mattered.

”They have failed to realize a fundamental flaw in that logic: rules are meant to be broken.

”It was absolute strength and power, but not rules that held the truth of the universe.

”In this universe, there was no one who could owe me money and get away with it.”

Chen Fan said lightly.
