Chapter 397 Still a Child

Qu Jianlei's words left Kester speechless.

Does it make sense? It does make sense. However, if you can't beat it...who the hell cares what you are beeping about?

One of the ultimate warriors from the Hedley family couldn't help it, "Lord Jian Lei, we really don't mean to be disrespectful to you!"

"We didn't know at all before that it was you who killed the Bunker family... Now that you suddenly say this, we feel a little aggrieved."

Qu Jianlei smiled coldly when he heard this, "No matter how wronged you are, can you be more wronged than the Benjamin family?"

"What did they do wrong to deserve their families being destroyed?"

"You can rely on your own strength to do whatever you want... If you encounter this kind of thing, is it aggrieved?"

"To put it bluntly, what I do is much more reasonable than yours!"

Qu Jianlei is just not good at communicating with people, but he is still very good at teasing people.

Once he had an attack, no one else dared to say anything. No one wanted to end up like the Benjamin family.

After waiting for a while, Kester sighed, "Tell me, how do you want to compensate me?"

Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "One hundred times the original price... No bargaining will be accepted."

When Kester heard this, his expression changed completely, "Is this... twenty million silver dollars?"

The thirty-sixth family is not just mentioned casually. The Hedley family does have a lot of assets.

The total assets of the family, let alone 20 million, can be spent on 200 million - 2 billion may not be enough.

But all assets are the sum of the properties of all family members, many of which are private property belonging to the members, not public property.

Although Kester is a B-level warrior and a respected member of the family, but... is it appropriate to take away the private property of his clan members?

For public property, 20 million would be absolutely taxing, and it would take time and selling off some properties to get it together.

But what's even more embarrassing is that 20 million is not enough to cope with the current crisis.

After thinking about it, Kester sighed, "The price of the talisman... Master Jian Lei, please tell me."

Hearing what he said, some people showed anger on their faces.

Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said calmly, "I told you to make an offer, but you must be sincere."

Kester pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "The size of the holding charms is different, and the prices vary greatly... How about ten million?"

He did not dare to ask the other party how much space the holding talisman had. This question was too taboo.

Xiao Moshan snorted coldly, "I'll give you 10 million, and you can buy me a gift talisman."

Kester shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Our family doesn't have such a way."

"Yes," Xiao Moshan replied confidently, "It costs money to hold the talisman, so does the purchase of it not count as money?"

What he said clearly drew on Qu Jianlei's ideas.

Kester was very disapproving, thinking that Jian Lei didn't know where he picked up the talisman for holding things.

He simply became frustrated and said, "If we have the means, we will have them... If we can buy one, we can buy two. We really have no means."

"Besides, I'm talking about the price of a brand new holding charm... This thing has a service life."

Xiao Moshan didn't agree with his point of view: Given the scarcity of talismans, if you can buy one, you can buy a second one? You're so embarrassed.

But it was a bit boring to worry about this at this time, so he decided to change his perspective.

"If Jian Lei hadn't been a bit capable, your son-in-law would have almost killed him... How much do you think Jian Lei's life is worth?"

Wasn't he killed in a counter-attack? Kester felt that this question was extremely nonsense: one life is worth one life.

He replied with a smile on his face, "How noble is Lord Jian Lei's life? The entire Hedley family together cannot afford to pay for it."

There was some wrangling in the middle, until daybreak, the two sides settled on the compensation amount: a total of 40 million silver dollars.

Qu Jianlei gave them ten days to raise funds, and the requirements must be energy block silver tickets, gold or crystals.

The next question is: What happened in Huangzi District?

Kester's answer was: I don't know what happened. My ancestors left a message not to mention this matter.

Otherwise, the Hedley family will not leave a single person alive!

He was probably determined that if the other party wanted to collect 40 million silver dollars, he would not fall out because he could not get the answer.

That was an old settlement in Huangzi District, and there was no way it had anything to do with the current people. The other party was probably just out of curiosity.

Seriously, if Jian Lei wanted to kill all the Hedley family, the money he would get would not exceed 20 million.

Those real estates are really not something that wanted criminals can deal with. Central City will not turn a blind eye even if they are just pretending.

Xiao Moshan guessed what he was thinking, and he sneered, "Do you think forty million is really a lot in our eyes?"

Kester's face darkened when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "Why did I forget this? The other party robbed the warehouse in the canyon!"

Finally, he answered bravely, "You must ask, I can only provide one word, have you ever heard of 'base'?"

"The base..." Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan exchanged glances.

Xiao Moshan thought about it and asked, "Is this matter related to the base?"

As expected, you know! Kester sighed secretly, then nodded, "It is said... that it was operated by the base."

"Forget it," Xiao Moshan waved his hand and said calmly, "I won't ask this question anymore."

But what does this "base" mean? Kester was full of confusion, but he had to leave with his people.

On the way back, a clan member asked angrily, "Senior, the other party wants so much money and is so domineering...are we going to accept it?"

These people are the backbone of the family, and they know very well how much pressure 40 million silver dollars will bring to the family.

Kester looked at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think I am too weak?"

Some people said they didn't dare, while others said, "But Wenlingnington... let's not talk about this bastard, Tarik is also dead!"

The earth-attribute warrior could not get any treatment and died of blood loss. And it was right in front of everyone's eyes. Who could not be angry?

"Fools don't deserve to live," Kester replied coldly.

It was a bit cold-blooded to describe family members in this way, but he understood very well that when managing a family, one cannot blindly focus on family ties.

When you should be cold, you must be cold, especially at this critical moment, you must put aside warmth!

"At the end of the day, the Douglas family can't find anyone to help them if they want to spend money. Do you still think that 40 million is expensive?"

After the Hedley family left, Black Panther flashed out and said, "If it's okay, I'll take my leave first."

He pretended that he didn't hear anything about the base and other topics, and didn't even dare to ask.

Qu Jianlei glanced sideways at Xiao Moshan and found that he was in a daze and was too lazy to say anything else.

The next things were handled fairly smoothly. The Secret Pavilion produced a lot of rare information, some of which were really not available in the canyon.

On the tenth day, the Hedley family collected 40 million in silver notes and took it with Seelig and handed it over to Qu Jianlei.

Xiao Moshan actually asked, "Who took over the Douglas family's properties?"

Seelig looked at him speechlessly, "They were all taken away by those people, part of them were auctioned, and some were kept."

"I'm stupid..." Xiao Moshan couldn't help baring his teeth when he heard this, "These guys have long hands."

Seelig had no expression on his face, but he snorted in his heart: No matter how arrogant you are, are you still going to hide when you hear the canyon?

What he didn't expect was that after the three received the money and left, the first thing they did when they returned to Tianzi District was to convene everyone for discussion.

Do you want to do some work on the nutrition cabin over there at the base?

Among the five people participating in the discussion, except for Qu Jianlei and Youyou, the other three are disabled.

There were no surprises in the outcome of the discussion. Even Youyou said that it was worth taking a risk in order to enhance the group's combat effectiveness.

But this time, Bentley couldn't go. Apart from his disability, he was only a C-level person.

So it must still be a combination of Qu Jianlei, Xiao Moshan and Youyou.

They punished three notorious guys in the canyon last time. They all have canyon identities that they can impersonate, so it's not difficult to get in and out.

Hua Xiezi suggested that because he was not sure whether Wei Wushuang had 100% good intentions, it was necessary to watch it for a while first.

As for her own disability, she feels that it is already the case and there is no problem in delaying it for another year or two.

But Qu Jianlei believes that there is no need to do this.

"Every time we take action, we have to hibernate for a while. It has become a rule... This time we need to do the opposite!"

His suggestion was recognized by everyone.

Then Youyou said: Since you plan to leave as soon as possible, there is a small problem currently encountered by the manor that needs to be solved.

It turned out that just as they were leaving, a B-level fire attribute warrior came to the door and asked to see the owner of the manor.

He revealed his identity outside the door, saying that he was Charles, the guardian warrior of Tianzi District, and that he had something important to discuss.

Central City has guardians in each residential area, but except for the Tianzi District, which is a B-level warrior, the others are all C-level.

Zheng Weifang in Zhouzi District was purely an accident. After he advanced to level B, he was reluctant to leave.

Youyou didn't take the guardian's identity seriously, but the opponent had a fire attribute, which happened to restrain her wood attribute.

In the end, Hua Scorpion went out in a wheelchair without letting the other person in, but just released his attributes.

She told the other party that the master of the manor was not here!

Charles also had a look and did not continue to pester. He just said that he would wait for the manager to come back and please tell him.

Qu Jianlei frowned when he heard this, "You didn't say what happened?"

"No," Youyou shook her head and said lightly, "there are just a few possibilities."

Although it was inconvenient for her to come forward, she was from the base and did not take such a B-level soldier seriously.

Even the identity of the guardian, to some extent, represents the overall will of Central City.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "I'll go meet him later in the evening."

Hua Scorpion suggested, "It's best not to kill anyone."
