"This is extortion. My father did not even lend you so much money. You are taking it by force!"
Luo Qingwu's face was pale as she shouted.
Hearing this, Wang Ergou laughed coldly and crossed his legs. He said disapprovingly, "How am I taking it by force?"
As he said, he took out a contract with his fingerprint on it from his wide sleeves. He said calmly, "The interest is written in black and white. If you don't return it when it's due, the principal will double every day. Your father even signed it himself. Even if you go to Lancang City, I am not afraid of you."
Seeing this, Luo Qingwu was about to cry. She pointed at Wang Ergou and said, "My father is illiterate. You must have lied to him. If not, why would he sign such a contract?!"
"Then I don't know. Maybe he is stupid and rich." Wang Ergou spread his hands disapprovingly.
"Qingwu's family, how much money do they owe you?" At this moment, Lin Tian suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Wang Ergou looked over.
"I've always heard that Old Luo's family picked up a half-dead guy. Seems like that guy is you?"
Wang Ergou looked at Lin Tian with interest and then whistled. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you want to repay Old Luo's debt?"
"Why? Can't I? "
Lin Tian's gaze was calm as he asked back.
"Sure, sure, sure. Why not? As long as you have the money to repay. " Wang Ergou crossed his legs and looked at Lin Tian with disdain. He said disapprovingly, "But, do you have that much money?"
"Whether I have that much money or not is none of your business. You just have to tell me the amount." Lin Tian said calmly. His tone was very irritating.
Wang Ergou was very uncomfortable when he heard this. He stared at Lin Tian and laughed coldly, "Old Luo, you owe the Wang Family more than four thousand taels of silver. Can you afford it?"
"A few days ago, it was still eighty taels of silver. How did it become four thousand taels of silver now?" Before Lin Tian could speak, Luo Qingwu exclaimed.
When Wang Ergou heard this, he said disapprovingly, "You said it yourself. That was a few days ago. This is the amount now. If you can pay it back, then pay it back. If you can't …"
As he said till here, Wang Ergou stared at Luo Qingwu with greed in his eyes. He did not even try to hide the fact that he was drooling as he said, "When the time comes, I will use you as my scapegoat!"
"As long as you serve me well, I might forgive Old Luo's debt if I'm happy."
Hearing this, Luo Qingwu's face turned pale and she retreated a few steps in fear. She stared at Wang Ergou in horror and could not help but grab onto Lin Tian's sleeve. She was scared to death.
Wang Ergou was a well-known playboy in Luoshui Village. Usually, he relied on his family's strength in this area to bully men and seize women.
Hence, Luo Qingwu was very afraid of him.
Lin Tian saw this scene and his eyes slowly narrowed. An almost imperceptible cold light flashed across his eyes.
Following this, he casually took out a crimson red fruit that resembled a cherry and threw it into Wang Ergou's arms. He said plainly, "I don't have silver right now. However, the value of this spiritual fruit is definitely above four thousand taels of silver. As a scapegoat, there is absolutely no problem."
Hearing this, Wang Ergou was first stunned. Then, he immediately picked up the cherry-like fruit and examined it seriously.
Although Wang Ergou was not a cultivator, he had cultivated the Qi-Gathering technique. However, his talent was not good. Until now, he was only at level-four of the Qi-Gathering. It was difficult for him to even kill a cow.
However, although his cultivation was not good, he still had some insight.
Very quickly, Wang Ergou's face revealed a look of surprise.
He could tell that Lin Tian was not lying to him. This was really a spiritual fruit. Furthermore, it did not seem to be an ordinary spiritual fruit.
If he sold it in Lancang City, it could fetch tens of thousands of taels of silver. Not to mention using it to repay his debt of a few taels of silver.
However …
Wang Ergou sized up Lin Tian. He did not detect any spiritual energy ripples from his body. Greed gradually appeared in his eyes.
He licked his lips and said, "One is not enough. I need at least three, no, five."
Hearing this, Lin Tian's brows furrowed. Although this fruit was not very valuable to him, being extorted like this made him very unhappy …
"Don't be too greedy."
Lin Tian squinted his eyes and said slowly.
"It's not that I'm greedy. It's just that … who knows how much this stupid fruit of yours is worth?" Wang Ergou said unhurriedly, "If you want to trade, then trade. If you don't, then forget it. Hand over this little girl so that I can go back and report to my father."
As he said this, Wang Ergou pointed at Luo Qingwu, who was holding onto Lin Tian's arm and hiding behind him with a pale face.
"But what if I say 'no'?"
A cold light surged in Lin Tian's eyes.
Unfortunately, Wang Ergou did not care about this. In his eyes, Lin Tian was just an ordinary person.
As for this spiritual fruit, it was probably just luck that he got it.
After all, how could a cultivator be sick for three years? Furthermore, he did not have any spiritual energy ripples on his body. He was just an ordinary person who could not be more ordinary.
Hence, not only did Wang Ergou not care about Lin Tian, he even had thoughts of killing him.
"No? Haha, I want to see what ability you have to say the word 'no' in front of me! "
Wang Ergou laughed coldly and clapped his hands. Suddenly, a group of burly servants rushed in from the courtyard outside.
Many of them had some spiritual energy ripples on their bodies. Although they were not strong, they had cultivated it before.
Seeing this scene, Luo Qingwu's face turned even paler. Her jade-like hands grabbed onto Lin Tian's arm tightly. Her expression was one of fear and terror.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
One of the bald men, who was shirtless and had a hideous scar on his chest that resembled a centipede, asked Wang Ergou in a low voice.
"Take this brat down and bring him back. The same goes for that young lady. But remember, don't hurt that young lady. Do you hear me?"
Wang Ergou pointed at Lin Tian and Luo Qingwu and said sternly.
Hearing this, the bald man nodded his head and agreed. Then, he turned around and looked at Lin Tian.
His tall body straightened immediately. In an instant, he was taller than Lin Tian by a head. His indifferent gaze looked down at him coldly. Then, he said, "Kid, do you want to come with me or do you want us to do it?"
Hearing this, Luo Qingwu's hands that grabbed onto Lin Tian subconsciously tightened again. The nervousness in her heart was vividly displayed.
Seeing this, Lin Tian patted Luo Qingwu's jade-like hands and smiled at her to comfort her. Then, he turned around and looked at Wang Ergou and the rest. His expression turned cold.
He slowly raised his head and said, "Do you want to die, or do you want me to send you to your deaths?"
