Chapter Sixty-One: Everywhere is a Trap! [Second Update!]
Chu Yang coldly said, “I think, whatever choice you make, Brother Mo, you must be clever! I absolutely believe in your wisdom.”
Within three days, there’s simply no way to repay the debt. If it doubles in three days, it would be 1.1 billion in six days, 2.2 billion in nine days, 4.4 billion in twelve days, 6.6 billion in fifteen days… adding on compound interest… by the time a month passes, even mortgaging all of Central Three would not be enough for Mo Tianyun to repay his debt.
Of course, using people’s lives to offset debts is something Mo Tianyun would never agree to.
Mo Tianyun left in despair. Before he departed, he left behind a single statement: “Within a month, I will deliver that knife to you!”
Watching the back of the eldest young master, Chu Yang cruelly smiled.
With Mo Tianyun gone, Ao Xieyun also took his leave; he needed to gather some remaining forces. Xie Danqiong and Ou Duxiao were about to take their leave as well, but Chu Yang enthusiastically stopped them: “Brother Xie, Brother Ou, please wait, I still have something to say.”
These two were quite valuable; it would be a shame to let them go so easily…
“What is it?” The two looked at him warily. At this moment, they did not dare underestimate this Chu King of Hell who had just come from the lower realms.
This person's means could truly be described as terrifying…
Chu Yang smiled warmly and said, “I just wanted to remind you both… actually, these silvers can be replaced with other items, there’s no need to gather such a huge sum of money. Hehe, I regard you both as friends, and talking about money does dampen the mood… so let’s not talk about money.”
Xie Danqiong and Ou Duxiao's eyes brightened simultaneously, asking, “Brother Chu, what do you mean by that?”
“I mean… for example, some rare spiritual medicines, and some precious crystals and materials… such as linglong grass,ć–ç»ć ą, seven-colored jade, Amethyst, Red Crystal, Blue Crystal, or Star Iron, Nightmare Steel, Volcanic Silver, Nether Gold… hehehe… I could use as much as you have; if after clearing the gambling debt you have some extra, we could certainly do a business deal.”
“Even a long-term cooperation… I am very willing to establish a partnership with two such trustworthy friends.”
Chu Yang smiled subtly: “Rest assured, I will never let you suffer a loss, whether it’s for offsetting debt or after we complete the trade; I will purchase at a price 20% higher than the market! If it’s extremely rare materials, I’ll buy them at double the market price! How does that sound?”
What Chu Yang lacked the least now was gold, silver, and gold notes. His wealth was practically limitless! To him, these were just trash. He wouldn’t feel sorry tossing them away, let alone exchanging for something of value…
He hadn’t even finished speaking when the eyes of the two already lit up; when he finished saying “20% higher than the market price,” it was as if a golden path appeared before the two young masters! Not to mention the subsequent doubling.
How much is 20% higher than the market price? It could be said: If one sells something worth 1 billion, that’s an extra 200 million! What a tremendous fortune.
Among the two noble families, they had accumulated for hundreds of years; they certainly had plenty of these items. Some things, though precious, were useless. It would be a pity to throw them away, yet keeping them was also of no use.
Moreover, for the noble families to develop military power and influence, what they needed the most was still money! Equally important are the crystals, spirit beast cores, and spiritual medicines that assist in cultivation…
These things, of course, could also be somewhat abundant. Taking a little out was not a problem at all. As for those so-called Star Iron, Nightmare Steel, Volcanic Silver, Nether Gold… and such, everyone knew they were good things but couldn’t use them…
