Xu Tian ignored the gloating looks of the onlookers around him and followed the Thorns members with Zhong Ling, Zhong Yu and others as if nothing had happened.
This manor has been carefully arranged with an open-air lawn, which is equipped with a drinking and dining area and a rest area.
Many of the power leaders who had already arrived were holding wine glasses and chatting with the surrounding boss-level figures who also came to the meeting.
Xu Tian looked around silently, seeing mostly unfamiliar faces.
He looked around but didn't see Elizabeth.
"What's going on?" Xu Tian turned his head and asked Zhong Ling beside him.
"Ms. Elizabeth also received an invitation from the Emperor of Thorns, but she tore up the invitation directly and will not attend today's meeting."
Xu Tian understood.
That woman was using her actions to declare to all walks of life that she would never obey and submit to the Emperor of Thorns.
Without Elizabeth as a partner to support the scene, Xu Tian seemed even more isolated and helpless in this manor.
The gangs present today are basically all related to the Thorns Emperor or are willing to obey the Emperor of the Thorns. Xu Tian not only refused to pay the membership dues, but also kicked out the members sent by the Thorns. He has already tacitly accepted the affiliation with other gangs
There seems to be some incompatibility among the leaders.
Xu Tian and the others entered the venue from outside the courtyard. Not long after, a group of men and women walked towards them. They stared at Xu Tian unabashedly with hostile and contemptuous eyes.
"Wolf King Ding Yi, since you took the initiative to come here to seek death, if we kill you first and then claim the credit, we will get her appreciation. However, you have brought a lot of people, so it will be a bit troublesome for us to do it.
Why don't you lead your men to commit suicide and avoid dirtying our hands? Don't you know what the Wolf King wants?"
The white-faced young man at the head still spoke proudly. At the same time, his eyes swept over Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu who were beside Xu Tian, and there seemed to be a flash of jealousy in his eyes.
Zhong Yu looked at the arrogant white-faced young man in front of him inexplicably and sneered.
"If your mental state is abnormal, see a doctor as soon as possible and don't go crazy in front of outsiders."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As soon as Zhong Yu finished speaking, the men and women who came towards him burst into laughter.
"Little girl, you don't know that your Wolf King is still alive to take you away today, right?" The white-faced young man looked at Zhong Yu with a playful look, "But if you draw a clear line with Canglang Palace now and immediately, and ask
If I take you in, maybe you won't end up like them."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After the white-faced young man finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter again.
Xu Tian frowned slightly and looked at the people in front of him. They all looked arrogant and wore martial arts uniforms embroidered with the Zheng family's logo.
It seems that these members of the Zheng family want to take advantage of the fact that they are in the territory of Thorns and have the backing of the Thorns Emperor, so that they can attack them first, so that they can claim credit from the Thorns Emperor.
"You guys..." Zhong Yu was about to curse when he saw the paralyzed man standing behind Xu Tian suddenly stepped between them.
"A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of here!" The white-faced young man didn't take the paralyzed man seriously at all, and still yelled arrogantly, "Slow down a step, and I will get rid of you..."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind swept across in front of everyone.
The paralyzed man's body flashed and he came to the white-faced young man like an afterimage.
The next second, a scream pierced the sky.
"ah!"
The white-faced young man's knees softened and he knelt on the ground. When everyone around him looked carefully, they saw that there were two bloody holes in his knees.
In an instant, the whole place fell into dead silence.
No one thought that Xu Tian's people would actually dare to take action.
The white-faced young man collapsed on the ground and howled like a slaughtering pig. The Zheng family members quickly helped him up.
The man with facial paralysis had just gouged out the kneecaps of members of the Zheng family in the blink of an eye.
The paralyzed man casually took out a tissue, wiped off the blood on the dagger in his hand, and then put it back into his sleeve in front of everyone.
"Brother 1, you've seen blood, the balance payment will not be the previous price." The tall and thin young man took the opportunity to walk to Xu Tian's ear and whispered, "Anything that is not in the previous agreement will be charged separately, but look
For Miss Yun’s sake, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”
Xu Tian:……
As expected of Yun Shuying's subordinate, he is also as proficient in raising prices from the ground up as she is.
But the problem is that he didn’t let the facially paralyzed man do anything!
Is this considered forced buying and selling?
"If you remove both legs, it will cost you at least two thousand, and one leg will cost you one thousand. If Brother Yi, you want me to kill that pretty boy, I will only charge three thousand."
Xu Tian couldn't bear it anymore.
Two thousand legs, but only three thousand to kill. What kind of logic is this?
"Brother Yi, this price is the best in the entire Wuji Island. If you want to kill as many as you want, we also have a package service. The second person is half price, kill three and get one free. Quality is guaranteed, and no one will be deceived. You choose us.
Heavy Fire Bounty Hunter Group is definitely the most correct decision!”
Xu Tian: "...Do you usually do business like this?"
"Is there anything wrong?" The tall, thin young man blinked, "Otherwise, how will we make money?"
"Hmm... I mean, your boss is also the eldest lady of the Yun family. If you follow her, even if you don't have a good life, you should at least have enough food and clothing. Why do you get to this point?"
The tall and thin young man was speechless: "Brother Yi, do you think Miss Yun looks like she has no worries about food and clothing?"
Xu Tian shook his head.
If it weren't for the unnecessary reasons, he would have suspected that Yun Shuying, the eldest lady of the Yun family, was a fake.
"That's right. Miss Yun had a big conflict with Mrs. Yun, Mr. Yun, a few years ago. Then she swore a vicious oath in anger to cut off all financial ties with her family and to be self-reliant.
If the Yun family's money goes against the oath, the Yun family will be unlucky for three generations and have no heirs."
Xu Tian:……
There is no need to curse the whole family like this when you are angry with your parents.
However, this is in line with Yun Shuying's temper. Although Miss Yun is usually careless, when it comes to matters of principle, this woman is not willing to bow her head easily.
"But don't she have many bounty hunters under her, and she also takes on missions. The commissions should be quite large each time, so she won't be impoverished, right?"
"You don't know something about this." The tall and thin man said with a sad face, "Nowadays, the bounty hunting industry is not as prosperous as it seems to the outside world, and Miss Yun...she is a bit idealistic sometimes.
In order to break the outside world's stereotype of the bounty hunter industry and allow more people to place orders, many times they basically pay for the tasks, and at most they charge some travel expenses, which is not enough for the brothers to support their families."
