Originally, they were to give up one-tenth of the three-tenths to her?
Once this was said, the powers that had previously quieted down began to raise their voices again. If they weren't in a place where they couldn't resort to violence, they would probably have threatened with force.
Even Tong Steward and Water Steward had uncomfortable expressions on their faces, feeling that Ye Zhongming was a bit... arrogant because of favoritism.
This word might not be entirely accurate, but it gave the two five rings society magnates the feeling that Ye Zhongming was starting to ask for an exorbitant price based on their cooperative relationship. It was as if he was opening his mouth wide like a lion, which was simply unacceptable.
“Am I thinking too much? You get all the good stuff, and we just get the leftovers? Fortunately, Cloud Summit Villa is only ranked sixth in the national area; if it was in the top five or three, we’d probably have to roll out of here.”
Although Zhang Zhongzheng had some fear of Ye Zhongming in his heart, at this moment, he didn't mind inciting even more anger among the crowd. After all, it was Cloud Summit Villa that offended everyone, not him.
If this could make everyone have a bad impression of Cloud Summit, that would be an unexpected joy.
“Boss Ye, don’t you think your demands are excessive? You were brought here by the two stewards, and we didn't say anything; after all, there wasn't much completion to begin with, and everyone could just work together. But you keep asking for benefits, and that’s too much. This isn't right.”
“Not only do you want seventy percent for yourself, but you also want to give one-tenth to these two women. Even if you’re being chivalrous, there’s no need for this. If Boss Ye really likes these two girls, he can go out and negotiate the price; how can you use our stuff to pick up girls? I can’t believe you thought of that.”
“Maybe Boss Ye is so handsome that these two girls will do it for free.”
These people still had some reservations about Ye Zhongming, only expressing their dissatisfaction without going too far. However, when it came to Mina and Garan, they were unreserved, saying whatever came to mind, and most of it was disrespectful. If one were to listen closely, they could even hear subtle provocations towards Ye Zhongming using these two women.
Their implication was quite clear; they couldn't confront Ye Zhongming directly, but they could at least vent their anger. This was also a form of indirect revenge.
“Mr. Ye, how about this? Let’s renegotiate and come up with a plan, then distribute the rewards according to our contributions. If someone doesn’t receive anything, everyone can contribute based on what they got, how does that sound?” Water Steward suggested, trying to ease the atmosphere with a more fair approach. With her representing the five rings society, as long as Ye Zhongming nodded, it would likely pass.
But Ye Zhongming shook his head.
This made Water Steward, who had always been very friendly to Cloud Summit Villa, furrow her brow.
“You crazy guy…”
Before Zhang Zhongzheng could finish, Ye Zhongming's gaze shifted to him, the chilling killing intent unabashedly enveloping him, making this younger man unable to continue speaking.
“Only I and these two women will go down; what about giving you two-tenths for free? Do you really think it’s your wish to dominate this place without giving even a penny?”
Huh?
When Ye Zhongming said this, everyone else present was stunned.
Going down alone? We don’t need to join?
This was Hundred Caves Marsh. It may not be the most dangerous adventure site, but it was undoubtedly the most tricky and complex place. Most of these powerful factions tried it a few times and then came back.
So many people, all powerful figures of their factions, couldn’t decide to go down even together, and now someone was saying they would go alone. This shock initially stunned everyone, followed by disbelief.
