He demanded five million because, firstly, the Sky Outside Tower was indeed the culprit, the one who personally took action.
Secondly, the previous one million offered by Mo Yunxiao was so straightforward that Qin Chen felt he might be shortchanged.
Thus, he asked for such a massive number like five million.
In his eyes, given the domineering and arrogant nature of the Sky Outside Tower, they would surely be furious and retaliate again.
But who would have thought they would simply agree?
They agreed directly?
Qin Chen was taken aback.
"What’s wrong? Do you find it too little?" The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower frowned, "With your status, you wouldn’t go back on your word, right? Moreover, if you truly want to make money, I have a proposal."
"Oh?" Qin Chen looked over faintly.
The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower said proudly, "You can join my Sky Outside Tower. If you’re willing, I can make an exception and appoint you as the Deputy Master of the Sky Outside Tower, making your position in Southern Origin City second only to me. Furthermore, you’ll also have control over many of my assassin organizations, and I will recommend you to the headquarters of Heaven Beyond Heaven."
"With your strength, once you have the platform of the Sky Outside Tower and Heaven Beyond Heaven, you won’t worry about earning Emperor Crystals."
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower.
Recruiting!
No one expected that the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower would recruit Qin Chen right in front of everyone, even directly promising him the position of Deputy Master.
That’s not all.
The key point was that he clearly stated he would recommend the other party to the headquarters of Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Heaven Beyond Heaven was the top assassin organization in the cosmic sea, with influence spread across the entire cosmic sea. Once one became part of Heaven Beyond Heaven, they could roam freely in this cosmic sea.
Such temptation was extremely attractive to some of the top powers in Southern Origin City. Who would want to stay in Southern Origin City when they could join the headquarters of Heaven Beyond Heaven? The two were hardly comparable.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned fiery as they looked at Qin Chen.
Mo Yunxiao’s expression also changed suddenly, never expecting that the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower could be so flexible.
"What do you think? How’s my proposal?" The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower squinted his eyes, looking hopefully at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen sneered, "What are you dreaming about? Just a mere assassin organization thinks they can recruit this emperor?"
"You..." The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower’s gaze darkened.
"As for those two, I previously mentioned that I wouldn’t go back on my word." Qin Chen said to Saroya, "Saroya, let those two go."
"Yes, sir." Saroya raised a paw, and with a puff, the Shadow and Shadow One fell in front of the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Young Master." The Shadow, filled with guilt, hurriedly stood up and quickly stood behind the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower with Shadow One.
"Now that our grudges are resolved, I shall take my leave." The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower said coldly. As he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Hold on." Qin Chen sneered, an invisible aura instantly enveloping him.
"What do you want?" The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower halted, his expression turning ugly as he looked at Qin Chen, while the Shadow and Shadow One looked over in terror.
"I’ve settled matters with your subordinates, but it seems we haven’t accounted for your previous attack on me, have we?" Qin Chen sneered.
"Attack? Did I attack earlier?" The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower frowned, revealing confusion. Then he looked at the Shadow and Shadow One, "Did you two see me attack earlier?"
The Shadow was momentarily stunned, seeing the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower's gaze, and, having been with him for many years, he suddenly realized and quickly shook his head, "No, this subordinate did not see it."
