A Piece of the Pie
"You don't have to worry about that! I don't think I need to tell you what the power behind me is, so I have a say in this matter! " Qibing comforted him. "Indeed, in the common world, golden class masters are rare existence- there might not even be a few in a city! Only the noble houses have mystic class masters! However, other than the noble houses, there are also mercenary organizations with masters in their hands. It's just that these people are only there for the sake of benefit- they wouldn't appear without benefits! It's like a mercenary organization- as far as I know, the mercenary organizations in the country are strictly supervised by the hidden noble houses. The strongest among them are only mystic early phase- once they break through to the late phase or mid phase, they'll be recruited by the hidden noble houses. That way, they'll have the chance to break through to Earth class- who would stay in a mercenary organization? "
"Oh, is that so? Then what if Pengzhan hired someone from abroad?" Xiao Ji thought of the foreign mercenary organizations after hearing that there weren't any masters in the country.
"Do you think Pengzhan has that kind of ability? If he did, his company would've been one of the top five hundred companies in the world long ago, not just in the country! " Qibing said with disdain. "Don't worry, if there were stronger masters he could hire, would he settle for the second best and hire a piece of trash for you to torture?"
"That's true!" Xiao Ji finally breathed out in relief and nodded. "Thank you for your explanation, Master Bing!"
"Hmm, now that you mention it, I'm tempted as well- I want to get some money too! Right, what did you guys extort from Pengzhan? "Qibing asked.
Xiao Ji panicked when he heard that Qibing wanted to get some money too. He hadn't even succeeded yet, and now Qibing wanted to get some money too? Wasn't that just asking for a share of the pie? But he didn't dare say anything to Qibing. He said gloomily, "We asked him for Pengzhan Commercial Building and Pengzhan Business Hotel, and two hundred million as startup capital!"
"Oh, I see …" Qibing was envious. It seemed like he should make his move as soon as possible, or else Pengzhan Industries would be taken away by others! When was he going to do it if not now?
And so, Qibing wasn't in the mood to chat with Xiao Ji anymore. After a few words, he hung up.
Xiao Ji was panicking as well. He hung up the call and started discussing with Xiao Ben. "Brother, Zhao Qibing seems to be interested too. Do you think we'd be able to get so much money if he were to join in as well? This isn't beneficial to our Xiao family! "
"Hehe, Big Brother, you're worrying too much!" Xiao Ben, on the other hand, waved his hand casually, "The situation now is that the more enemies Pengzhan has, the better it'll be for us! It's best if there are a few more! "
"Oh? Why is that? "Xiao Ji's brain wasn't as good as Xiao Ben's, and he couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Think about it, so many enemies are going after Pengzhan- Pengzhan is the one who's at his wit's end. He has no other choice but to cut his own flesh! Even if he has the ability to get more helpers, can his helpers fight against so many people? " Xiao Ben explained. "Pengzhan might still think he's lucky if we're the only ones looking for trouble, thinking that he might be able to avoid it!"
"I see!" Xiao Ji nodded. "Brother, you're the smartest one of all. This way, our Xiao family will get less profit, but it'll be a lot more stable!"
"That's right! So, we don't have to do anything right now. We'll just wait for Master Bing to do what he wants, and when Pengzhan is in trouble, we'll go after him! I don't believe he won't give in! "Xiao Ben said.
Qibing hung up and quickly called Cihua, Gubang, and Fabai over. He was going to make a move on Pengzhan Industries, and he had to do it as soon as possible. It'd be a huge loss if he didn't get there in time, and the profits would be taken away by others!
Right now, Qibing had already treated Pengzhan's assets as his own, and he was afraid that someone else would take it from him.
"Old Jin, Old Zhong, you guys know Pengzhan Industries very well- what excuse do you think we should use to ask for money from Pengzhan?" Qibing asked straightforwardly. These were his trusted subordinates, and he didn't need to hide anything. "If Xiao family is using Xiao Ji's wife as an excuse to ask for money, then what about us?"
At Qibing's level, it was obvious that he was going to take things by force, but he still needed a reason to avoid being criticized. Naturally, Qibing had to find a suitable reason to make a move. Otherwise, wouldn't it be daylight robbery?
That was something that Lin Yi would do- Qibing didn't have the guts to do that! Every level had its own rules, and no one would break them. Otherwise, it'd be a complete mess.
But Lin Yi didn't belong to the upper class or even the noble houses, so he always did things according to his own rules. He didn't play by the rules at all, and this was why Zhao Qibing couldn't gain any advantage from him!
Now that he finally had a chance to teach Pengzhan a lesson, how could he let it go?
Pengzhan Industries' real estate company was something that Qibing had always wanted. If it wasn't for Lin Yi, the company would've been under his name by now!
"Hmm, the few conflicts we had were all with Lin Yi, so it'd be a bit unreasonable to use Lin Yi as an excuse!" Cihua said. "Xiao family's reason is a bit ridiculous, but it's true that Mengyao offended Xiao family's Gou Huli …"
"I know that- why would I discuss this with you guys if I could just go ask for money?" Qibing glared at Cihua and said impatiently, "Let's brainstorm, everyone! I'm afraid that more of Pengzhan's enemies will come after us if the news gets out! If we're late, we won't be able to get as much as we want!"
"Master Bing, I have a good idea!" Gubang said after some thought. "But it's a bit like stealing …"
"It's fine if it's in the dark, as long as it's not daylight robbery, we won't break the rules!" Qibing said. "We just need a reason! Pengzhan's probably in a mess right now, and we'll go scare him a little. There's no way he won't give in! "
