Chapter 314: Relatives Become Enemies
Su Chen smiled slightly: "Su Chen."
"Su Chen?" Commander Guan frowned slightly. Why did the name sound so familiar?
At this moment, a subordinate suddenly approached Commander Guan and whispered something in his ear.
Commander Guan's face changed immediately after hearing this, and when he looked at Su Chen again, he was more apprehensive.
"Master Jiao, I'm sorry I can't take care of this matter."
Commander Guan suddenly said unexpectedly, and his expression didn't look like he was joking at all.
What?
Jiao Peng couldn't believe his ears. The last moment, Commander Guan was still talking about taking Su Chen back to be punished. Why did he suddenly change his mind at this moment?
"Commander Guan, are you going to let this kid get away with it?" Jiao Peng said hurriedly.
Commander Guan shook his head: "I'm sorry, Master Jiao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Master Su Chen's identity is extraordinary. The eldest prince has specifically ordered that Master Su Chen must not be harmed, otherwise... otherwise I may have to arrest you, Master Jiao."
What?
Jiao Peng felt extremely depressed. He originally invited the Royal Guards to help him, but the Royal Guards stood on Su Chen's side. It would be better not to invite them.
"Commander Guan, but this kid..." Jiao Peng still said unwillingly.
Commander Guan's face sank: "Why, I said it was the order issued by the eldest prince, don't you still believe it? Do you have to invite His Royal Highness the eldest prince over?"
"No, I have no such intention." Jiao Peng said hurriedly.
Commander Guan waved his hand with a gloomy face, and all the imperial guards immediately surrounded Jiao Peng. They looked like they would capture Jiao Peng if he dared to act rashly against Su Chen.
At this moment, Jiao Peng felt like he was screwed. He finally remembered that since the eldest prince became the crown prince, the imperial guards were under the control of the eldest prince.
Damn it, damn it, who is this Su Chen, why did the eldest prince give such an order for him?
There was no other way, so he had to compromise. He couldn't let the imperial guards catch him. If the head of a sect was caught by the imperial guards, the Poison Wolf Sect would have no chance to survive outside.
The expression on Jiao Peng's face kept changing, and finally he chose to compromise, closed his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Okay, for the sake of His Royal Highness, we will not pursue the matter of Su Chen killing Elder Yinye and coming to challenge today."
Jiao Peng thought that he had made a great concession, but he didn't expect Su Chen to walk over leisurely and shook his head: "Just not pursuing it?"
"Then what else do you want?"
Jiao Peng gritted his teeth and said that the Poison Wolf Sect's not pursuing Su Chen was already a special compromise, so what else did Su Chen want to do?
"I have suffered a great loss of reputation because of the wanted notices you posted at the gate of Anyang College. I demand compensation from the Poison Wolf Sect for the loss of reputation. Moreover, I brought so many brothers to the Poison Wolf Sect from afar, and everyone wasted a lot of time. The loss of work time should also be compensated by your Poison Wolf Sect."
When Su Chen said this, Jiao Peng almost vomited blood. What does it mean to bring so many brothers to the Poison Wolf Sect from afar? Aren't they the bodyguards you hired yourself?
What the hell is compensation for losses? All our people in the Poison Wolf Sect died, and we didn't ask you to compensate for the losses. In the end, you asked the Poison Wolf Sect to compensate for your losses?
Is there any justice in this?
However, seeing the Royal Guards staring at him, and looking at Cao Lin and others behind Su Chen, Jiao Peng also knew that there was no place to talk about reason today.
Jiao Peng's teeth were clattering, but he finally said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I will compensate you for your loss of 10,000 taels, is that okay?"
After saying that, Jiao Peng felt as if he had been slapped hard on the face, it was hot and burning. As the head of a sect, he was blackmailed by a young boy, which was a stain on his life.
Su Chen shook his head: "Master Jiao, this is too insincere. It's not the way to send beggars, right? There are so many of us, and you only send 10,000 taels?"
"How much do you want?" Jiao Peng said coldly.
Su Chen laughed: "The Poison Wolf Sect is so grand and high-end, I guess it must be rich. Compensating millions of taels should not be a problem, right?"
Millions of taels?
Jiao Peng almost jumped up on the spot. This kid really dared to say that. It was simply a lion's mouth. Millions of taels, even if he sold his Poison Wolf Sect, he couldn't afford it.
Although the Poison Wolf Sect is well-known, that is only because they are ruthless. In fact, the family assets of the Poison Wolf Sect are at most equivalent to those of a second- or third-rate family. The monthly income is only 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver. How can they afford to pay millions of taels of silver?
"No, absolutely not, at most 10,000 taels." Jiao Peng said, feeling suffocated in his chest. It was obviously the Poison Wolf Sect that lost an elder, but they still had to pay others money. The amount of compensation was the amount of loss. He was heartbroken.
Su Chen shrugged: "No, then let's continue and see who can outlast the other."
Seeing that the two sides were about to reach a deadlock in the talks, Commander Guan hurriedly said, "This is not a solution. Master Su Chen, why don't I make the decision? You two should take a step back and reconcile."
"Take a step back, that's easy to say." Su Chen smiled faintly, "But it depends on how much sincerity Master Jiao can show."
Jiao Peng said in a deep voice, "Fifty thousand taels, this is the limit."
Su Chen laughed, "Commander Guan, you can see that they have no sincerity to reconcile, so you can't blame me."
Commander Guan hurriedly said, "Master Su Chen, please wait a moment, and rest for a while. Don't be impatient. "
As he said this, Commander Guan walked to Jiao Peng and whispered, "Master Jiao, now that things have come to this, quickly show your greatest sincerity. With this commander in the middle, I can still help you say a few words. Once this commander leaves, there will be no one to help you negotiate. "
Jiao Peng's eyes kept flickering, and finally, he was completely deflated, and sighed, "I can show my sincerity, but the Poison Wolf Sect can't take out a million taels of silver anyway."
"How much can you take out at most?" Commander Guan asked.
"Three hundred thousand taels." Jiao Peng said helplessly. This is indeed the bottom line of the Poison Wolf Sect. If it exceeds this number, not a penny can be taken out.
Commander Guan saw that what Jiao Peng said didn't sound like a lie, so he said, "Let me talk to Master Su Chen for you. However, if Master Su Chen makes other requests, don't refuse easily. "
