"I've calculated it."
An old man trembled and his eyes turned red. He had used up a lot of energy to calculate all kinds of possibilities. In the end, with his intelligence, he calculated a terrifying number.
"How much?" Emperor Zhou asked.
The old man said, "According to the estimation of the third prince's ear, we need a total of 2,568 chests to redeem the third prince's body. If we subtract the third prince's ear, we only need 2,563 chests."
"Are you sure?"
"Emperor Zhou, I'm willing to use my head as a guarantee. It's definitely enough." The old man was the head of the scholars and was extremely talented. At the same time, he was impressed by the opponent's methods. Using an ear as a comparison of five chests, he wanted them to estimate how much the third prince was worth.
This question was not ordinary. It was profound and contained a lot of knowledge. If it wasn't for the fact that he was knowledgeable, he might have been stumped by the opponent.
After solving a difficult question, the old man was much happier. He felt an indescribable sense of achievement. Of course, now that the third prince was kidnapped, he couldn't show too much excitement or he would be hacked to death.
Uproar!
Everyone in the hall was shocked. What a terrifying number, 2,563 chests. They didn't dare to imagine it.
The general's face was gloomy and he didn't dare to say anything. Although he didn't know how much wealth the dynasty had, this was already an astronomical number. Even the Immortal Dynasty would have to break their bones to obtain it.
The crown prince and the second prince glanced at each other and sighed helplessly. This number was too terrifying. They looked at Emperor Zhou and didn't know what their father would choose. Was he really going to use such a huge amount of wealth to exchange for their third brother?
Emperor Zhou sat on the throne. Although his aura was calm, his furrowed brows had already betrayed him. This number was something even he couldn't bear.
Although the Immortal Dynasty was powerful and had countless treasures, there was definitely a limit. But now, 2,563 chests were too much. Why didn't they take everything from the Immortal Dynasty?
More than half of their wealth was terrifying. If they really gave it to them, they would spit out blood.
The Imperial Concubine sobbed, "Emperor Zhou, give it to them. Save my third brother. When I find my father, I will let him share the burden. He can't watch his grandson die outside."
"My beloved, don't be anxious. I will give it to you." Emperor Zhou thought about many things. His third son was the one with the most talent out of all his sons. After fusing with the outer realms, he was ranked over 400 on the Prodigy Roll. This was enough to show how powerful he was.
If he died in the hands of a thief, it would be such a pity. What his beloved concubine said made sense. Wealth could be continued, but if San Er really died, there would be nothing left.
The Great General didn't say anything. They couldn't make the decision on this matter anymore. Only Emperor Zhou could make the decision. In the long run, it was still the most profitable to redeem the Third Prince.
The Crown Prince and the Second Crown Prince looked at each other. They were happy, but also a little sad. They were happy that their father valued his children, but they were sad that the Immortal Dynasty would suffer a great loss if they gave away this wealth for nothing.
"Are you sure it's two thousand five hundred and sixty-three boxes?" Emperor Zhou asked.
"Emperor Zhou, I'm sure. This is the conclusion that I've come to after countless calculations. It's definitely not wrong." The old man was confident. In terms of strength, he might not be able to compete with others, but in terms of brains, not many people could compete with him.
No matter how difficult the problem was, it wouldn't be a problem for his extremely intelligent brain.
An ear and five boxes of wealth. How much was the Crown Prince worth? To others, this might be an unsolvable problem, but to him, it was simple. He just needed to spend some energy.
"Emperor Zhou, it's not like we don't have a chance. Why don't we not stop them and follow them secretly until we find their nest? We'll destroy them then." The Great General suggested. He was willing to use so much wealth to exchange for the Crown Prince, but he was unwilling to let the Immortal Dynasty get their hands on the wealth that they had worked so hard to accumulate.
"Mhmm, it's decided then."
Emperor Zhou replied. It was impossible not to leave a backup plan. He could only let the Crown Prince leave first and follow him secretly to prevent any future troubles.
"Disciple, how much do you think they'll use to exchange for the Crown Prince?" Tian Xu asked. The kidnapping had gone too far this time. At the same time, he realized that it was not without reason that his disciple could become rich. Lin Fan was indeed ruthless. Thinking back to how they used to be, it was nothing.
"Master, it should be at least a few hundred boxes, right?" Lin Fan pondered.
"A few hundred boxes? So many? " Tian Xu was already shocked when he heard that there were five boxes, and now his disciple said that there were a few hundred boxes? That was insane!
"It's a lot, but he must be ambitious. The Immortal Dynasty shouldn't be weak. I'll be satisfied if there are three or four hundred boxes."
He didn't know how the Immortal Dynasty would calculate it, and how could he calculate it? One ear counted five chests. How smart did one have to be to be able to calculate that?
Also, there was no basis for this. He was only doing this to give the Immortal Dynasty some pressure so that they would know what to do.
The Third Prince squatted down in fear. The wound on his ear had already started to swell.
"Brother, if you're satisfied with the wealth, will you really let me go?"
The Third Prince was no longer as calm and domineering as before. He was now timid, like a piece of meat that had just been rubbed on the ground.
"Of course, of course I'll let you go. Who do you think I am? And my master is here too. Do you think we're the kind of people who will kill the hostage after taking the wealth? "
"Let me tell you, we have integrity. Of course, you have to be honest. If you're not, then we can't guarantee anything."
Lin Fan said righteously. Even though the Third Prince was a peerless immortal and killing him would give him points, he had a bottom line. He would not do such a thing.
Tian Xu patted his disciple's shoulder. "Disciple, I'm glad to hear that. At least it means that I didn't lead you down the wrong path. You have to keep your promise. I'll definitely let you go as long as you're satisfied with the wealth."
"It's all thanks to Master's teachings." Lin Fan smiled.
"Mhmm."
Tian Xu nodded and looked at the Ice Demon Dragon and Blood-eyed Ape King, as if to say, "See? My disciple is not bad."
The Third Prince heaved a sigh of relief. He might not know if Lin Fan would keep his promise, but he was relieved to hear that.
"Master, it's about time. Your disciple will go first. I'd like to see if the Immortal Dynasty will keep their promise."
Lin Fan stood up and walked out. He left a drop of blood outside. I'll take it back when I get the wealth. I don't want to fight them head-on. Between wealth and fighting, I choose wealth.
"Disciple, be careful." Tian Xu said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Master. Your disciple's ability is beyond anyone's imagination."
As soon as he finished speaking, he entered the void and rushed into the distance. He was a bit expectant, wondering what the Immortal Dynasty was like and if they had any knowledge.
When he arrived at the agreed location, the armored man was still floating in the air.
"Where's the Third Prince?" The general asked. This time, he chose to talk to Lin Fan instead of attacking.
"Where's the wealth? He'll definitely let you go as long as he sees the wealth. "Lin Fan said.
Suddenly, the general froze. He realized that this guy looked familiar. Isn't he the one who committed suicide in front of us? Why is he here again?
He had many questions, but he did not express them. He let Lin Fan go this time and followed him.
"It's here." The general pointed below.
Lin Fan looked down. There was a bulge with a layer of black cloth on it. He hurried over and pulled the black cloth away. Suddenly, there were many boxes stacked on top of each other.
"We've counted. There's a total of two thousand five hundred and sixty-three boxes," the general said in a low voice.
"Oh my god!" Lin Fan's jaw dropped. "So many? Three to four hundred boxes would be enough. How can you give so many? This is unbelievable."
He couldn't wait to put away his wealth.
Emperor Zhou and the rest, who were hiding, trembled when they heard Lin Fan.
What did he say?
Three to four hundred boxes would have been enough, but he gave me two thousand more.
Lin Fan didn't dare to imagine it. "Your Immortal Dynasty is way too rich. Also, who did the calculations? I'm impressed. Good. Your Third Prince will definitely be able to return safely. I'll even send that old man back to you." Lin Fan didn't dare to think about it.
"What? You … "The general was shocked. When he came back to his senses, he saw Lin Fan finish him off with one sword and he fell to the ground.
He didn't expect Lin Fan to do that. He landed and grabbed Lin Fan's storage ring.
Suddenly, the storage ring in the Great General's hand disappeared into thin air.
Many people came from afar.
Emperor Zhou's face was dark, "Where is he?"
The general said, "Emperor Zhou, the kid is gone. He just committed suicide here. But not long later, he disappeared without a trace."
"Three to four hundred boxes would be enough to get Third Son back. I didn't expect to get two thousand more. How did they calculate it?" Emperor Zhou had already engraved that Grand Secretary in his heart. What smart Grand Secretary? He was a sinner who would bring disaster to the country.
"Not good, this kid disappeared for no reason. What should the Third Prince do?" The old eunuch panicked. Their Immortal Dynasty had been tricked.
"Search. Search everywhere for me." Emperor Zhou shouted viciously.
"Yes!"
Lin Fan woke up and laughed maniacally. He really didn't dare to believe it. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The Immortal Dynasty is too rich. They're inhumane.
He estimated three to four hundred boxes, but he didn't expect the Immortal Dynasty to give him so many boxes.
As for how they calculated it, he wanted to know. After all, he didn't think too much from the start.
"Disciple, why are you back so soon?" Tian Xu was shocked. ~ Did something happen to you? ~ Lin Fan thought to himself. ~ Why are you back so soon?
"Master, we're rich."
Lin Fan was silent for a moment before spitting out these words.
He then went inside and untied the Third Prince, comforting him. The Third Prince was scared. He thought that Lin Fan was going to kill him.
"Third Prince, I'm sorry to have made you suffer. I'll be your friend now. From now on, let bygones be bygones. Don't take it to heart. You can leave with your old servant now."
Lin Fan said in a friendly manner. It was natural for him to get to know a tycoon, especially a tycoon like the Immortal Dynasty.
How generous.
The Third Prince was stunned.
