Qin Shengling had been glaring at Zhao Ximu, but when he heard Liu Huaishui's words, he turned to look at him. He wanted to see what this weirdly dressed man had to say.
Xiao Chen stood behind Qin Shengling, not in a hurry to speak. He looked at the people in front of him with great interest. He took a few more glances at Liu Huaishui's clothes, feeling that they looked familiar.
Liu Huaishui ignored Xiao Chen's stare. Instead, he picked his ear with his left pinky and said calmly, "According to the terms of the contract, if an employee of the Chamber of Commerce is killed due to personal grudges, the employer and the killer will each have to pay half of the compensation as compensation to the Chamber of Commerce. The Zhao Family has already paid them. You can pay the rest!"
"Ridiculous!" Qin Shengling clenched his fists, and a few veins popped on his forehead. He stared coldly at Director Liu and Zhao Ximu and said angrily, "It was Zhao Ximu who provoked the Qin Family first. That Guan guy was too weak, so he was killed by Exalted Deity Xiao. Why should I pay for the losses? This is simply ridiculous and preposterous! "
"Old man Qin, I think you've lived so long in vain!" Zhao Ximu stood up and walked to Liu Huaishui's side. He pointed at Qin Shengling angrily and said, "A life for a life, a debt for a life. This is a matter of course! Don't you understand such a simple principle? "
Liu Huaishui was getting a little impatient. He stretched out his index finger and poked the contract a few times. He glanced sideways at Qin Shengling and said, "Old man, the contract is written very clearly. Please open your presbyopic eyes and take a good look. It's okay if you can't read or understand the content. All you need to know is that you have to pay 5,000 spirit crystals!"
"Nonsense! Why should I pay the Spirit Crystals? That surnamed Guan was obviously invited by the Zhao Family. If anyone is going to compensate, it should be the Zhao Family! "Qin Shengling's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he roared in anger.
"Old man, let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't take good care of yourself, your eyesight will deteriorate and your hearing will deteriorate!" Liu Huaishui rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I've already said that the Zhao Family has paid the compensation! Now it's your turn! "
"Exactly! It's already kind of me to ask the Qin Family to pay some Spiritual Crystals! " Zhao Ximu said sarcastically, "If you anger the Chamber of Commerce or the force behind Senior Guan, it's not something that can be solved with just a few Spiritual Crystals! Your entire Qin Clan will disappear from the World of Cultivators in an instant! Let me give you a piece of advice out of goodwill. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and pay up! "
At this time, Zhao Ximu was standing beside Liu Huaishui, showing off his prowess. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he and Granduncle Zhao were trembling and bowing in front of Liu Huaishui just now. However, it might also be because of this humiliation that Zhao Ximu planned to make up for it with Qin Shengling!
"You!!" Qin Shengling was so angry that his eyes were wide open. Just as he was about to teach Zhao Ximu a lesson, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw Xiao Chen smiling and saying softly to him, "Old Master Qin, please calm down. I'm quite interested in this contract. Let me take a look first!"
After saying that, Xiao Chen took a few steps forward, reached out to take the contract on the table and flipped through it.
Although Qin Shengling was still very angry in his heart, since Immortal Xiao had said so, he could only suppress his anger for the time being. After all, he knew that he did not understand this aspect at all. He also knew that the Zhao Family must have come prepared this time. Therefore, he could only wait patiently for Xiao Chen to finish reading the contract.
Staring at the contract in his hand, he repeatedly read it a few times. The more Xiao Chen looked at it, the more he felt that it was inexplicable. This contract was actually made according to the standards of the secular world!
Not only did it include Party A and Party B, but it also included the responsibilities and obligations that both parties had to bear, as well as the penalties for breach of contract. There was also the date of signing and the signatures of all parties. It looked very proper and very formal.
However, after reading it back and forth a few times, Xiao Chen found that there were many overbearing clauses in it. The entire contract was very beneficial to the Chamber of Commerce. It could even be said that the benefits were completely skewed!
Glancing at the arrogant Zhao Ximu, Xiao Chen pursed his lips. This kind of contract that was commonly seen in the secular world was indeed very new in the World of Immortal Cultivation. These people naturally did not understand the mystery behind it. It seemed that the group of idiots from the Zhao Family had also been deceived!
But … why would such a secular contract appear in the World of Immortal Cultivation?
Xiao Chen had extremely strong doubts in his heart. However, before he could ask, Liu Huaishui attacked first.
"May I ask if you have finished reading it?" Liu Huaishui stared at Xiao Chen, who was constantly flipping through the contract. He frowned and urged, "Do you see the agreements that I have underlined? Please pay us 5,000 Spirit Crystals according to the agreement in the contract! "
"What the hell did you write?" Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and pinched the corner of the contract with his hand. He shook it a few times and said disdainfully, "This contract only has legal effect on the two parties who signed it. The Qin Family did not sign or put their stamp on the contract, so they did not establish a labor relationship with you at all. What the hell are you giving it to us for?"
"Who … who said that?" Liu Huaishui was stunned and subconsciously argued, "It is written that if the hired cultivator is killed, the killer and the employer will have to pay half of the compensation …"
"I'll compensate you, my ass! This contract has nothing to do with us. Don't try to fool us! " Xiao Chen snorted coldly. He raised his index finger and shook it slightly. Immediately, a cluster of red dancing flames leaped up from his fingertip.
Liu Huaishui was shocked when he saw Xiao Chen's action. He was about to say something to stop him, but it was too late. He saw that Xiao Chen had casually set the contract in his hand on fire. The thin pieces of paper instantly turned into ashes.
"What the hell! How dare you burn the contract? " Liu Huaishui was furious. He immediately jumped up from his chair and pointed at Xiao Chen, shouting, "Are you crazy? Do you want the experts of our Chamber of Commerce to set your bones?"
As he roared, Liu Huaishui signaled the two bodyguards behind him with his eyes. When the two bodyguards received the signal, they immediately flipped the table in front of them and rushed forward. They revealed their cultivation and confronted Xiao Chen in an overbearing manner.
As long as they waited for Liu Huaishui's order, they planned to directly break the neck of the fair-skinned boy in front of them!
However, Xiao Chen didn't take the threats of the two bodyguards seriously at all. He casually dusted off the paper in his hand, glanced at Liu Huaishui, and coldly asked: "Also, what is this' Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce 'of Party B on the contract?"
