"Ten … Ten times?! But … but … "Zhao Ximu was dumbfounded. He stammered for a long time without being able to say anything. How many Spiritual Crystals did he spend to hire Guan Weicai?
"Yes, ten times. At that time, the Zhao Family rented Guan Weicai for 1,000 Spiritual Crystals. So now, you have to pay ten times that amount. That's a total of 10,000 Spiritual Crystals. Take a look at the terms yourself!" Liu Huaishui said calmly as he pointed at the clause that he had marked out.
Zhao Ximu's face turned red. He looked like a goose that had been strangled by the neck. He lowered his head and read the terms on the contract.
When Zhao Ximu was signing the contract, he was fooled by the salesperson who had come to do the promotion. He only knew that he would be able to take advantage of the contract if he signed it. He did not read the content of the contract carefully. Now that he had read the clause that had been marked out, he immediately regretted it.
"What?! 10,000 Spiritual Crystals!!! " While Zhao Ximu was cursing his bad luck, Zhao Xingxuan could not take it anymore. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Outrageous! Brother Guan was obviously beaten to death by the Qin Family. Instead of looking for trouble with them, why are you asking us for compensation? Furthermore, you are asking us for so many Spiritual Crystals! Do you really think that the Zhao Family is weak and can be bullied easily? "
After threatening Liu Huaishui, Zhao Xingxuan crushed the cup in his hand into powder. He immediately revealed his cultivation of Level 6 of the Golden Core Stage. He stared coldly at Liu Huaishui like a lion that was about to devour its prey.
"Hehe, Old Mister Zhao, don't we all come out to do business for money? Why do we have to hurt each other's friendship for a few Spiritual Crystals? " Liu Huaishui said calmly, as if he did not feel Zhao Xingxuan's killing intent. He stared at the mahogany table in front of him without moving an inch.
Zhao Xingxuan thought that Liu Huaishui lowered his head because he did not dare to look at him. His aura rose and he said fiercely, "Cut the crap! Either you go to the Qin Family and ask for the 10,000 Spiritual Crystals, or you leave this place immediately! "
"Old Mister Zhao, are you joking?" Liu Huaishui finally raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xingxuan. A trace of hostility flashed between his brows. He snapped his fingers again and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He slowly said, "Besides, do you really think that the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce is afraid of a mere Zhao Family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind Liu Huaishui immediately rushed forward and stood in front of him. At the same time, their bodies trembled and a majestic Yuan Qi covered their bodies. One of them was an expert at the Golden Core Stage and the other had already reached the half-step Nascent Soul Stage!
Feeling the ferocious pressure pressing down on him like a towering mountain, Zhao Xingxuan's expression changed drastically. Only now did he realize that he had underestimated the other party's strength!
Seeing that the situation was so unfavorable to him, Zhao Xingxuan did not dare to act rashly. He could only clench his fists in hatred, snort coldly and grit his teeth as he took a step back.
"Director … Director Liu, let's talk this over!" Cold sweat dripped down Zhao Ximu's forehead as he explained with difficulty, "It's not that the Zhao Family is unwilling to compensate, but 10,000 Spirit Crystals is too much! Furthermore, our great-uncle was right. Senior Guan was indeed killed by Xiao Qiang. You can investigate this matter and find out. You can't just punish us and let the culprit go, right? "
Zhao Ximu's expression was very helpless. After all, the Zhao Family's annual income was only 20,000 to 30,000 Spirit Crystals. They would have to fork out more than half of that. Not only would they be strapped for cash, but the living expenses of this large family would also be a problem!
"Hehe, the two of you don't have to be so afraid. I haven't finished speaking." Seeing Zhao Xingxuan and Zhao Ximu's fierce and then timid expressions, Liu Huaishui was very pleased. He smiled and said, "Mister Zhao, I guess you didn't read the additional terms in the contract, right?"
"I … I really didn't read it." Zhao Ximu hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. He felt uneasy. Could it be that the additional terms required more compensation?
"That's right!" Liu Huaishui had a subtle smile on his face as he deliberately paused for a moment. When Zhao Xingxuan and Zhao Ximu were at their most nervous, he slowly said, "The additional terms mentioned that if the expert rented by Party A is killed by someone else due to his lack of strength, then Party A only needs to pay 50% of the compensation, and the rest will be paid by the killer!"
"So, the Zhao Family only needs to pay 5,000 Spirit Crystals?" Zhao Ximu couldn't be bothered to reprimand Liu Huaishui, who was smiling like a clown. He grabbed the contract on the table and immediately flipped through it.
On the last page of the contract, Zhao Ximu found this clause. He finally let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Turning his head to look at Zhao Xingxuan, Zhao Ximu saw him nod slightly. Zhao Ximu then nodded to Liu Huaishui and said, "Since the contract is as such, the Zhao Clan is willing to compensate for this loss. At the same time, I hope that you can send another person to replace Senior Guan. If it's a Nascent Soul cultivator, that would be the best!"
Although 5,000 Spirit Crystals was a large sum for the Zhao Family, under the current situation, Zhao Ximu couldn't bargain with them anymore. After all, the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce was an existence that the Zhao Family couldn't afford to offend. Zhao Ximu couldn't ask for more than 5,000 Spirit Crystals to settle this matter and disgust the Qin Family.
Since they had reached an agreement, Zhao Ximu didn't procrastinate anymore. He decisively asked someone to prepare the Spirit Crystals and handed them over with both hands.
After Liu Huaishui confirmed the number of Spirit Crystals, he threw them to the bodyguard and stood up to extend his hand. He put on a sincere smile and said, "Mr. Zhao is indeed straightforward. It's also an honor for our Chamber of Commerce to be able to work closely with the Zhao Family!"
"Director Liu, you're too kind …" Zhao Ximu watched as the 5,000 Spirit Crystals fell into the bodyguard's bag. Although he felt his heart ache, he still forced himself to put on a warm attitude and awkwardly shook Liu Huaishui's hand.
Liu Huaishui put down Zhao Ximu's hand and said with a warm expression, "As for Guan Weicai's sect, I will think of a way to help you deal with it. This is also the obligation of the second party in our contract, so you don't have to worry about this for the time being."
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Ximu's voice finally sounded a little happier this time, and the smile on his face was more sincere. "Then, about sending reinforcements …"
Liu Huaishui adjusted his collar and turned to look out the door. "Right now, we still have to go to the Qin Family to ask for compensation and terminate this contract. It won't be too late to discuss sending reinforcements later."
