In the hall…
Gu Du Xing and the others ate and drank to their heart’s content . These brothers didn’t hold back to enjoy the hospitality of the Xie Clan . Instead, they gulped down a bellyful of wine and meat . In fact, they weren’t even worried that Elder Brother Chu had gone alone along with Xie Dan Qiong…
Mo Qing Wu was the only one who wasn’t eating much . She had only eaten a few mouthfuls . She looked in the direction in which Chu Yang had left . [Is Elder Brother Chu Yang not hungry?]
A red and energetic shadow suddenly came over along with the sounds of hurried footsteps . This individual then shouted out loud, "Luo Ke Di!"
Luo Ke Di got startled . He had just scooped up soup in his spoon . And, he spilled half of it on his lapel . [Oh shoot! Oh no! I forgot about this matter… I forgot to tell this to Big Brother . ]
This person was Xie Dan Feng!
She came walking-in at a fast pace . She then put her hands on her hips and asked, "Where is that ugly man?"
"Eh?" Luo Ke Di was at a loss for words .
"That one… Didn’t you say that he’s your brother?" Xie Dan Feng showed an anxious appearance, "Why hasn’t that bastard shown his appearance for such a long time?"
Luo Ke Di replied while stammering, "I… don’t know this . " He noticed that the other brothers were looking at him very curiously . So, Luo Ke Di had no other choice but to tell them what had happened on that day .
No one expected that they would hear the words ‘Chu Yang’s Junior Brother Tan Tan’ . They then suddenly exposed an expression that reflected their curiosity . And, they started to interrogate in a hurried and curious manner .
"Really? Does he really look ugly…"
"I have heard that he’s a narcissist?"
"Is he that fu*king awesome?"
. . .
Luo Ke Di exposed a ‘painful’ expression, and it seemed as if he was trying to recollect the memories of past events . He then replied in a weak tone, "You’ll understand when you see… I don’t want to talk anymore . Now that I remember him… I don’t feel hungry anymore…"
Xie Dan Feng laughed out loud . She didn’t evade them . Instead, she sat down with them . Then, she gulped down wine, and ate meat while laughing and talking with everyone . She quickly mingled with the group .
Ji Mo secretly pondered in his heart, [This Young Miss’s nature is similar to that of Bobo’s . It seems that this Tan Tan is a kindred spirit like me…] Thereafter, his mood got so good that he drank-up three cups of wine in quick succession .
The clan members of the Xie Clan who were attending to the guests looked at each other in dismay . They thought, [These brothers are so careless . Their Big Brother went with our Young Master to discuss business . And, they aren’t even worried…? Don’t they know that Eldest Young Master Xie Dan Qiong is famous as an expert of monitory calculations…?]
They obviously didn’t know that Gu Du Xing and the others were genuinely not worried…
There was no doubt that Xie Dan Qiong was an expert of monitory calculations . But, what chance did this so-called ‘golden abacus’ stand in front of Chu Yang?
. . .
"Brother Chu, look here . This is the compensation that our clan has arranged for repaying the debt of gambling . " Xie Dan Qiong pointed towards a pile of rare metals, and showed them to Chu Yang . His third uncle Xie Qing Mo and his forth uncle Xie Qing Yan were standing behind him . Both of them were highly experienced businessmen . In fact, they were the ones who had arranged this . They had also arranged many auctions of rare and precious goods . And, they would obviously decide the prices of the items in these auctions as well .
Chu Yang looked at the chunks of Extraterrestrial Meteorites, Underworld Cold Iron, Star Iron, Cold Gold…
They were in great abundance, and were available in all sizes . In fact, there must’ve been 25 or 26 chunks of every item .
The estimated value of these items must have been more than 500 million . It seemed that Xie Clan had a good mastery of trade, and knew how to please Chu Yang . They definitely wouldn’t disappoint Chu Yang .
"It’s pretty good . Xie Clan is very large and influential! I want all these . " Chu Yang said in a low voice, "The approximate value of these things must be 550 million taels . This should be the current market price . "
Xie Qing Mo and Xie Qing Yan looked at each other as soon as Chu Yang spoke out this figure . They saw the look of affirmation in each other’s eyes . [He is correct . The finalized market price of these things should be this; it can be ten million up and down! This King of Hell Chu has a very sharp vision!]
Chu Yang thought for a moment, "I promised you… 20% higher than the market price . Therefore, I will give you one-hundred million for these . "
He took out golden notes worth one-hundred million as he said this, and handed them over to Xie Dan Qiong on the spot .
Xie Dan Qiong’s hands were continuously shaking, "Brother Chu, you have been grateful enough to extend the time limit . Moreover… my Xie Clan will be very ashamed to do business with you again if I sell you this stuff at this price . Please, Brother Chu Yang, keep it . "
Chu Yang replied with a smile, "Brother Xie, you also know this… and I’ve already told you that a man never goes back on his word! Does Brother Xie think that I am a nasty man who doesn’t live up to his promises?"
Xie Dan Qiong’s face filled with a helpless look . He then looked towards his third uncle .
Xie Dan Mo slowly nodded and said, "The Young Clan Lord shouldn’t decline since Brother Chu has such frank mindset . There will be ample time to show hospitality later…"
Xie Dan Qiong forced a smile and said, "So, I will gladly accept it in that case . "
Chu Yang laughed out loud and patted his shoulder . He thought, [How would I be able to entice you further to show me more good stuff if I don’t let you make a profit from the get go?] He said, "Brother Xie, no need to be so polite . I have this mindset regarding money . So, these are just a bunch of numbers and nothing more . They really don’t matter to me . "
The eyes of Xie Qing Mo and Xie Qing Yan lit-up when they heard these words .
Xie Dan Qiong issued an order, and called several people to come in . He ordered them to wrap the things that Chu Yang had chosen, and asked them to be sent to the camp of the Gu Clan .
"This place is quite big . " Chu Yang looked at this warehouse where these rare metals were stored . Then, he insipidly said .
"Of course… as it should be . " Xie Qing Mo showed a somewhat affectionate expression . He then said, "Minister Chu, our Xie Clan has been stocking up these items for many years . We can further collaborate if Minister is interested . "
Chu Yang’s eyes lit-up . And, he replied in high spirits, "Really? Then, I would like to plunder a lot today . Ha ha ha…"
The nephew Xie Dan Qiong and his uncles laughed heartily as well . Xie Dan Qiong said, "If Minister Chu sees anything… and fancies it… then consider it yours!"
The four of them started to laugh heartily . All of them were extremely happy .
Chu Yang thought, [I expect that you will live up to your words . It seems that I would be returning with a load of treasures from this journey . I said that I will plunder… do you genuinely think that it will be that simple?]
Xie Qing Mo thought, [I expect that you will live up to your words . Do you think that you are going to plunder us? We are going to plunder your pocket instead…]
"Minister Chu, please come here . Please!" Xie Qing Mo politely pulled Chu Yang and brought him over to the front of a thick shelf, "Minister Chu, look at this item . What do you think about it?"
"Seems like a good item!" Chu Yang’s eyes brightened up . It was a chunk of an unusual item that had a lot of holes on its surface . It sparkled and released a faint cold light that could make anyone heartbeats race . It was neither gold nor stone . It was only the size of a person’s head, but it was exceptionally heavy . In fact, it had pressed down the iron shelf to an extent that the shelf was a little bent…
The Nine Tribulation Sword cheered up inside his Dantian . In fact, it flipped over, and somersaulted in his Dantian . This flared up Chu Yang’s determination to take this item even more…
"This thing is a chunk of Extraterrestrial Meteor Iron . It is also known as ‘Thirty Thousand Lives’ . " Xie Qing Mo smiled and further introduced, "This thing came flying from beyond the heavens three hundred years ago, and fell on the earth . Its shock waves affected the entire mountain range, and turned it upside down . Thirty-thousand people within the radius of 250 kilometers lost their lives due to the impact of its shock waves!"
Then, Xie Qing Yan continued, "This thing was as big as a house back then . It was flaming and burning like the sun . After that, we sent our men, and asked them to wait for it to cool down . Then, they smashed over and over on the surface of this burning thing with sledgehammers . This big chunk was exposed from the inside of it… Look at these holes . They are actually burn-marks from that time . "
"Great!" Chu Yang touched the item . Then, he exerted his wrist, and held this ‘Thirty Thousand Lives’ in his hand . He felt his wrist fiercely pushed down by the weight of this item . However, he urged his strength, and managed to hold it firmly .
"We don’t know what this thing is . But, it is heavy, wonderful, and matchless! Only this person’s head-sized piece weighs more than 2500 kilograms!"
Xie Dan Qiong looked at this unusual item .
The name of this item seemed to be like a thrown-out bluff . But, it was extremely solid . In fact, it was nearly indestructible . The Xie Clan had kept it this entire time, but they didn’t know the use of this item . Chu Yang had come here at this moment . So, the first thing they thought was to sell out this ‘trash’ to him .
"This a good item! I want this!" Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction, "Brother Xie, please tell me the price of this . "
Chu Yang didn’t know what this thing was . But, he knew one thing… [It can make the Nine Tribulation Sword react . So, it has to be a good thing! The important thing to note is that the Nine Tribulation Sword moves lazily even when it spots Star Iron, Nightmare Steel and other items . But, it somersaulted for this chunk of Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron… So, it’s obvious that this thing is very precious . ]
Xie Dan Qiong looked at this item, and discussed with his uncles . Then, he said, "Brother Chu, we don’t know what the use of this thing is . So, we don’t know its price . Moreover, it has never appeared in the market . So, there’s no market value to have a reference with . You see… how about ten million taels?"
These three men had discussed the price of this thing . And, they had decided it to be ten million taels . It was neither too high, nor too low . But, it wasn’t meager either . They wanted to show the sincerity of the Xie Clan . But, they didn’t wish to suffer a loss either .
One must know that the Xie Clan had spent up to a million in silver taels for the manpower and physical resources to retrieve this Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron . But, that was three-hundred years ago .
"Very well! So, it’s a deal then!" Chu Yang straightforwardly said, "I will add two million taels to make that twenty-percent higher than the market price . " He effortlessly took out golden notes to pay for the item .
King of Hell Chu was filthy rich at the moment . And, this was the perfect annotation of that!
This chunk clearly wasn’t worth just ten million taels . After all, it had made the Nine Tribulation Sword somersault . So, Chu Yang would’ve even paid one-hundred-and-twenty million to get it . In fact, Chu Yang would’ve bought it even if it were to have costed him his entire net worth!
Xie Dan Qiong and the other two felt relieved . Then, they exposed a smile, "Brother Chu is very frank and straightforward . "
[This guy is really rich, ah… he flung twelve million in the blink of an eye without knowing anything about this thing…]
Xie Dan Qiong accepted the money amidst their conversation . He then called over a few people to lift that item and take it outside .
"I don’t need to introduce this thing over here, right?" Xie Dan Qiong mischievously smiled as he pointed out to a chunk of mild-red rare item .
"Red Cloud Steel! It is a good item!" A bright light flashed in Chu Yang’s eyes . [There was a big chunk of this item in the Iron Cloud Imperial Palace . This one is also as big as that one . It is genuinely a precious thing . ]
"How about a hundred million for this one?" Xie Dan Qiong said .
"Alright! One-hundred million plus twenty million!" Chu Yang readily complied .
"This is a piece of Nightmare Steel…"
"Deal is done!"
"This is a piece of Nine Hells Iron!"
"Deal!"
"This is a piece of…"
"Deal!"
"This is…"
"Deal!"
"This…"
"Deal!"
They walked past thirteen or fourteen shelves in this manner . The shelves had started to look empty like anything . In fact, they looked desolate . Minister Chu had purchased everything right away!
He was like a rag-picker . He would take anything as long as he found it useful . Anyway, the Xie Clan had arranged these items here . So, how could they possibly be ordinary?
