Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: Using Your Lives to Borrow Some Money from You!
“Huh? What are we lining up for?”
“Yeah! We’ve already screwed up, what kind of deal is there to make?”
“It’s just death, what does it matter? A head wound is only the size of a bowl, don’t dawdle!”
The powerful figures who roamed with the Jiuzhou Auction House were all desperados, living a life of licking blood off the knife blade daily, and they had no fear of death.
But the key issue was, for these people… they didn’t fear being killed directly, but what they feared most was being caught between life and death!
They were on a path to death, but if you suddenly gave them hope to live, the feeling of surviving a crisis would drive everyone mad!
This was where Ye Fan’s brilliance lay, easily manipulating human nature!
As everyone was in an uproar, Yan Ruyu spoke calmly, “What’s the hurry? The deal I’m talking about is very simple, I’m borrowing some money from you all with your lives as collateral! Just a little, one million Crystal Coins per head… pay on the spot, and you’re free on the spot!”
What?
Hearing Yan Ruyu’s words, everyone present was dumbfounded!
What did he mean?
Yan Ruyu was going to use their lives to borrow money from them?
What kind of logic was this!
But the key point was, Yan Ruyu had brought so many powerful figures and had them completely under control.
And with Boss Feng Qi already dead, no one could save them.
Even if they thought the logic was ridiculous, they had no choice!
“Young Master Yan, do you keep your word?”
Among the crowd, some wealthy and powerful individuals began to inquire further.
They had been carrying out missions for the Jiuzhou Auction, extorting those kidnappers, and some of the smaller bosses had indeed accumulated quite a fortune over the years!
They could still come up with a million Crystal Coins, as long as they used the coins to buy back their lives, with their current skills, they could join any sect in the Immortal Domain and receive good treatment.
“Are you kidding? Haven’t you heard of the name of the Four Young Masters of the Southern State? Do you not believe in my integrity, Yan Ruyu?”
This statement caused those around to stagger!
The integrity of Yan Ruyu was well-known throughout the Southern Immortal Domain.
But… they couldn’t trust Ye Fan, who had just appeared!
He’s too cunning!
Almost everyone knew about the Qingyuan Sect incident!
Qingyuan Sect was rising again, and Jiang Yingda and Ye Fan planned to take over the Qingyuan Sect headquarters. Many powerful figures sent representatives, seemingly to observe, but in fact, to stop Ye Fan from taking residence at the Qingyuan Sect headquarters.
As a result, Ye Fan used the lure of the Soul Hall Treasure Vault to incite everyone into slaughtering each other. The representatives sent didn’t even touch a corner of Ye Fan’s clothes and ended up almost entirely wiped out.
The remaining ones lost their fighting ability and eventually left quietly!
Yan Ruyu had been with Ye Fan for a long time, how good could he be?
However, at this moment, Yan Ruyu held absolute power, and despite any grievances, they didn’t dare to utter a word!
“Fine! I’ll pay!”
“I’ll pay too!”
As long as they could live, a dozen or so powerful figures immediately pulled out some bags of Crystal Coins and handed them to Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu weighed the Crystal Coins in his hand and then said to a companion beside him, “Old Mo! Handle this and lighten their load a bit!”
A chubby youth beside Yan Ruyu nodded and grabbed one of the Golden Core experts who had paid, smashing his Dantian with a punch!
Then came the next one… and the third one…
In the blink of an eye, the chubby youth had already crippled five or six experts!
This frightened the remaining hesitant experts into a clamor, “Young Master Yan, what do you mean by this? You clearly said that as long as we paid, we would be spared. Are you planning to go back on your word in front of all these people?”
The remaining many experts had taken out their Crystal Coins, but now put them back!
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, “Brother! Listen closely to my words, I only said I’d spare your lives, I didn’t say I wouldn’t cripple your Dantian… or break an arm or something!”
“Hmph! Given all the dirty deeds you’ve done, it wouldn’t be overkill to die eight hundred times! Now that we’re letting you live, how dare you chatter so much… if you don’t want to live, nobody’s forcing you!”
Yan Ruyu’s words were righteously spoken!
The remaining experts were left speechless!
Sigh! Several more experts silently paid the money and then accepted the fate of having their Dantian crippled.
Though they would live with difficulty without their kung fu… these experts, besides the one million Crystal Coins they handed over, had some Crystal Coins secretly stashed away. Though not so much, they were wealthier than some small families.
Their future days could still be quite comfortable!
“Can I find a way to raise the money? I’ll send a message to a friend…”
“Right! I’m borrowing money right away, it’ll be quick!”
Yan Ruyu certainly had no objections to these requests, “Everything’s negotiable! But until the money is borrowed, you’ll temporarily be collateral! Young Master Ma… take these people as collateral, each head counts as 200,000 Crystal Coins and any excess will be your reward for this operation!”
“Young Master Feng, you watch over this batch of people! Likewise, each head is 200,000, any excess will be yours!”
…
Yan Ruyu was very adept at these relationships, leaving a large group unable to pay immediately but capable of future payment, and directly mortgaged them to his brothers who helped with the operation!
On the one hand, he gave them a huge favor, and on the other hand, he neatly solved the problem of holding so many people!
“Mighty Young Master Yan!”
“Dominating and overflowing!”
Yan Ruyu’s arrangement left his brothers who acted with him excited!
Every batch of Liu Qi people, if fully paid, meant millions of Crystal Coins in hand… although these young lords’ families and sects were not weak, millions of Crystal Coins still meant a very large sum.
With such money as pocket change, isn’t that nice?
Listening to music in the boudoir! Wonderful!
The key point is, this money was extorted, so they felt no guilt… these lowlife human traffickers, to rob them like this was still letting them off easy!
“Hehe! Certainly, we need to thank my Brother Fan… it was all his idea!”
Although Yan Ruyu wanted to take credit for this, in the end, he passed the credit to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was bound to become a super tycoon ruling the entire Immortal Domain, so supporting him this way was like building prestige for Ye Fan in advance!
Of course, another reason was that the sect and family behind Yan Ruyu were too upright, so extorting these people, although they were scum, would still stir public pressure in the Immortal Domain.
But hand it to Ye Fan, and there’s no problem!
After all, Ye Fan… in the eyes of those sect powerhouses, was not seen as a good thing!
“Mighty Young Master Fan!”
“Next time, I definitely have to thank Young Master Fan in person!”
“No need to wait for next time! The Qingyuan Sect should soon rise again. On the day they open their sect, we can persuade our fathers to represent the sect and lend support!”
“Haha! Makes sense… with a brother like Young Master Ye, I definitely won’t sever ties!”
He’s practically a bringer of wealth!
One can imagine, the day of the Qingyuan Sect’s opening ceremony, it will be another incredibly grand scene…
