The Three Aristocratic Families received the news as well. They immediately linked the 20 Jie experts to the eight Jie experts in Foundation City. Immediately, under a series of orders, countless forces gathered towards Lunaris.
At the same time, at the auction in the unmanned black market, 30 pieces of lavagold were won by the largest mining merchant, the Shi Family, at an astronomical price. This was the purest and best quality lavagold ever auctioned in the unmanned black market. The 30 pieces of lavagold were somehow purified, and were shockingly pure. The auction did not attract much attention, but the bidders were all aristocratic families.
In fact, the aristocratic families were not only interested in the 30 pieces of lavagold, but also the method of extraction. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find the owner of the goods in the unmanned black market.
Outside Guilar City, a typical troop of a thousand men advanced quickly in the wilderness. All of them wore silver masks. Fortunately, most of the people in Guilar City wore masks, so it was not a big deal. However, the murderous aura emanating from the troop was eye-catching.
However, how could anyone who was able to survive in Guilar City be a kind person?
Ye Chong's hotel was already crowded with people. If one looked down from above, one would see that many people were still gathering towards him.
Greda had calmed down by now. He knew that he would definitely die here today after seeing the current situation. He could not help but hatefully say, "Fine, you guys are ruthless. Hmph, it's a small world!" His voice was filled with hatred. The guards around him all revealed expressions of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
Ye Chong's hearing was very sensitive. He heard Greda's words immediately, and his eyes flashed coldly. He did not have the habit of letting go of any potential threat in the future so easily.
"Bring them back," Ye Chong pointed at Greda's group.
The crowd watched as one of the masked men in the hotel lobby pointed at Greda, and seven or eight figures came out of the hotel.
"Jie experts!" Someone in the crowd gasped. The crowd was immediately excited. Everyone watched with widened eyes, afraid to miss out on the exciting scene.
Seven shadows lingered in the air, almost as if they were real. Among Greda's group, there were a few muffled thuds. The seven of them moved so fast that those with poor eyesight could only see a few gray shadows.
The crowd went wild. Jie expert, this must be the legendary Jie expert. As for Greda, not many people cared about him. This playboy had done all sorts of evil things in Guilar City, and it was only because of his father's magnetic card that everyone had to swallow their anger. But today, he ran into a group of even more powerful people. Many people secretly cheered in their hearts.
In less than half a minute, the place where Greda and his men were standing was empty. All of them, including Greda, were brought back to the castle. Greda was the unluckiest of them all. His body was covered in bruises. Sang Tie had vented all of his anger from hearing about the White Streak Tribe on Greda. Of course, Greda was given special treatment.
These usually incomparably arrogant fellows were now curled up on the ground, wailing incessantly. Old Chief Guo whispered to Ye Chong, "Boss, the Jin Gui tribe is rich, why don't we …" As he spoke, he rubbed his right thumb and middle finger together.
Ye Chong's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Old Chief Guo signalled that he understood, and walked up to the group, kicking them left and right as if he were a bunch of pigs.
"There, it's you." Old Chief Guo pointed at a guard lying on the ground. The guard thought he was going to be killed, and paled. "Get up, get up." Old Chief Guo's tone was impatient. "I'll let you go back now, and tell your leader that your young master has offended our master. Tsk tsk, not only that, he even tried to harm our master. That's why he's being held captive by our master. However, on account of our good relationship, our master did not want to kill him. As long as you pay the ransom, we'll release him in one piece. Do you understand? "
Seeing that his life was secured, the guard was overjoyed, and quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, I understand."
"Hmm." Old Chief Guo seemed satisfied. "Each guard will cost 5 million credits. As for yours, we'll give it to you for free, as a sign of our sincerity. There are 12 guards here, so 60 million credits should be enough. Your young master is a respectable person. Hmm, 20 million credits it is. " Old Chief Guo's tone suddenly changed, turning menacing. "80 million credits in total. I'll give you two hours. Hehe, if you're late, we won't wait. Do you understand? "
The guard gulped, and nodded with all his might. "Y-Understood …"
"If you understand, then scram! Remember, two hours! "Old Chief Guo glared at him.
"Yes, yes." The guard nodded and bowed, then turned around and ran as if there was something chasing after him.
Sang Tie walked up to Old Chief Guo, and circled him with a curious expression, clicking his tongue from time to time. Old Chief Guo looked at Sang Tie curiously. He touched his mask and asked, "Tie, what's wrong? Is there something on my face? "
Sang Tie teased, "Old Chief Guo, I didn't know you had some tricks up your sleeve. You used to be an unscrupulous merchant? Heh, you sure are ruthless, 5 million credits for one, you sure are demanding an exorbitant price. "
Old Chief Guo looked embarrassed, and said sheepishly, "I'm just looking for money. Besides, to people like them, 5 million credits is just a drop in the bucket. Look at this guy, "he pointed at the moaning Greda," I'm afraid his annual allowance is only this much. "
Sang Tie looked at Greda, and could not help but feel angry. With their strength, it was not easy for them to earn some money, and this guy's annual allowance was only this much. He could not help but "softly" rub his right leg against Greda's buttocks again.
Gasp. Greda's body tightened in pain like a bow that was bent backward. His peach blossom eyes bulged out like a dead fish's. The surrounding guards all shivered as they looked at Sang Tie with fear in their eyes.
Sang Ling could not help but chuckle as she watched Sang Tie and Old Chief Guo fooling around. Her icy eyes melted like a spring breeze, and Sang Fan could not help but stare at her.
The hotel was crowded, but no one dared to approach the empty space in front of the hotel. The reputation of Jie experts was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Besides, wasn't there a rumor a few days ago that a Jie expert had broken a mech's shell with his bare hands?
Shi Xin looked on coldly. She had seen everything that happened. However, she would never have imagined that Ye Chong and the rest would ask for a ransom. The Shi Family and the Golden Tortoise Tribe had a close relationship. While the Shi Family had the upper hand due to the Shi Family's influence, they were only partners. No matter what, some formalities had to be done.
After a moment's thought, he made up his mind. Shi Xin walked up alone and bowed towards the hotel door. She spoke loudly, "Shi Xin from the Shi Family of Star Corner greets the elders." She bowed as a junior would.
The Shi Family was quite famous, and the people who had just quieted down immediately became rowdy again.
"Shi Tiancheng has a good daughter!" A middle-aged man in the crowd looked at Shi Xin with interest, his eyes full of admiration. After all, she was a girl, and yet she could remain calm in front of so many people. She was neither haughty nor humble.
"Shi Xin, female, 20 years old. She went out to train at the age of 17. Due to her outstanding performance, she was designated by the Family Leader, her father, Shi Tiancheng, as an important candidate for training. She was active in major events such as the Golden Stone Alliance and the Twin Stones' negotiations. Also, on the 12th of March last year, she was secretly engaged to an unknown partner. "A handsome young man with fair skin beside the middle-aged man spoke without hesitation. The middle-aged man wore a mask on his face, and he was surrounded by guards all around him.
The middle-aged man smiled, but did not speak.
At Ye Chong's signal, Old Chief Guo stepped out from the crowd and spoke loudly, "Nice to meet you, Miss Shi. May I know what you wish to say?" He was a little reserved at first, but soon he became more at ease. Life was full of surprises. A few months ago, he was still at the bottom of society, and now, he was speaking as an equal with the Shi Family.
Shi Xin said respectfully, "I apologize for my rudeness. Uncle Lauren has always taken good care of me, and Greda is like a brother to me. This time, he has offended all the elders, and deserves to die. However, I hope that all of you will forgive him on account of his youth and ignorance. I'm sure he'll go back to repent and turn over a new leaf. "
The middle-aged man could not help but compliment her again, "That girl is eloquent." Seeing the disapproving look on the young man's face, he sighed in his heart and explained, "This girl is a watertight person. She didn't know the other party's background, so she didn't rashly involve the Shi family. Instead, she used her own identity and only said that Lao Lun had taken care of her. Since they were siblings, not only would she not offend this group of people, but they would also praise her for being grateful. Naturally, they would not make things difficult for her. Impressive! "
Seeing the middle-aged man praising Shi Xin so highly, the young man beside him could not help but feel indignant. "That's normal."
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said plainly, "In front of thousands of people, in front of 20 Jie experts, can you even think it through in a few seconds?"
The young man was speechless. After a moment's thought, he looked ashamed. "I was too naive."
Although he didn't like Shi Xin's arrogance that was unique to aristocratic families, from other perspectives, Shi Xin could be considered impeccable. Old Chief Guo chuckled. "Miss Shi, don't worry. You'll know later."
Shi Xin paused. She was very perceptive, and immediately understood that the man had no intention of killing Greda. She bowed respectfully again, "Thank you for your magnanimity, elders." She then retreated into the crowd.
Mission accomplished, Old Chief Guo heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to return to the hotel lobby, someone leaped out from the crowd.
