Chapter 53: Jia Lie Bi's Head, Exploded by a Punch
Xiao Cang looked at everyone with a warm smile, his tone was extremely casual when he spoke. Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback, their faces filled with disbelief and then anger.
"A… a copper coin?!"
"Mr. Xiao Cang must be joking."
"Although my Liu family is only a second-rate family, our family business has been painstakingly built over decades. Everyone in the family relies on this business for survival. If it is bought with a single copper coin, how will we live in the future?"
"…"
The family heads were in an uproar, all looking at Xiao Cang incredulously.
Before they came, they thought that Xiao Cang was willing to sit down and talk, indicating that there was still room for negotiation.
Even if the Xiao family wanted to swallow their property, they had to leave some room for them to survive.
But as soon as Xiao Cang opened his mouth, they were dumbfounded.
A single copper coin isn't even sufficient to buy a dish in a random shop on the street! And he wants to buy their shops with it?
Jia Lie Bi's eyelids twitched, his face twitched, and he forced a smile and bowed to Xiao Cang: "Young friend Xiao Cang really loves to joke. The joke about buying our family's industry and shops with a copper coin really scared this family head."
"Yes, this family head was also scared by young friend Xiao Cang." Ao Ba Pa also laughed dryly and quickly said.
"Hmph, do I look like I'm joking?"
Xiao Cang snorted coldly, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
All the family heads tightened their hearts, subconsciously clenched the armrests of their chairs, and looked at Xiao Cang with tense and nervous faces.
An invisible pressure arose from Xiao Cang, and although the power was not as terrifying as before, it still made them frightened and they didn't dare to breathe.
"Hehe, in my opinion, the conditions mentioned by Brother Xiao Cang are quite generous, and the family heads seem to have no reason to refuse."
A charming voice sounded in time, easing the tense atmosphere a bit. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ya Fei sitting on a chair on the side, with a pair of long and straight jade legs, covering her mouth and laughing.
"This Old man also thinks that Miss Ya Fei is right, the price of a copper coin to buy the assets of your families is already quite fair." Even the always impartial Master Gu Ni agreed.
Seeing this, everyone's corners of their mouths twitched wildly.
A copper coin is quite fair?
You Miter Auction House and Xiao family are in a cooperation, of course you would say that!
Especially you Ya Fei, who in Wutan City doesn't know that you are already Xiao Cang's woman now?
Of course you will speak for Xiao Cang.
Everyone was furiously complaining in their hearts, but they could only laugh dryly on the surface and say nothing.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that what Ya Fei and Gu Ni said was not wrong…
Buying their industry and shops with a copper coin seems very domineering and unreasonable, but for Xiao Cang who has absolutely strong strength, it is already his kindness.
Otherwise, Xiao Cang could completely knock on the door himself, and he could take all the family's industries and shops without spending a penny.
But in that case, the families might have to shed blood…
The family heads had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and finally someone couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xiao Cang, if we give all the family property to you, how will our clansmen survive? Please also understand us and leave us a way to survive."
This time before Xiao Cang could speak, the elder laughed and said: "This is simple. After the shops and industries of your families are transferred to my Xiao family, the clansmen of your family heads can continue to work in the shops. Just right, the Xiao family doesn't have so many hands to take care of all the shops. In this way, it is a win-win situation."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became ugly again.
What a win-win situation?
Let the original owners of the industry become workers?
Your Xiao family doesn't even need to put out manpower, you can sit and count money, it's really a good calculation!
Jia Lie Bi was already jealous of Xiao Cang, and now he heard that the conditions of the Xiao family were so excessive, not only did they want to take their family business for nothing, but also let their clansmen work for the Xiao family, this was simply too bullying! So he stood up abruptly.
"If your Xiao family is so insincere, then I'm afraid I can't agree to your terms!"
Jia Lie Bi waved his sleeve and snorted coldly.
Seeing this, everyone looked at Xiao Cang. If Jia Lie Bi's anger could have an effect, then they would also follow suit.
"Oh?"
Xiao Cang looked at Jia Lie Bi and showed a playful smile.
In his memory, Jia Lie Bi was very unpopular in the original book, and even once tried to swallow the Xiao family together with the Ao Ba Pa family under the instigation of Yunlan Sect.
Now he just lacked a chicken to show the monkey [a Chinese Idiom], and Jia Lie Bi jumped out. How considerate of him.
With a figure with hollow eyes and stiff movements walked out from a corner.
The humanoid puppet walked straight to Jia Lie Bi, and without any warning, he punched out.
"Bang!"
Jia Lie Bi's head exploded into a cloud of blood.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew across, and blood splattered.
Suddenly, the hall was dead silent.
Everyone trembled all over, feeling their scalp numb and their hair standing on end!
"Family head!!!"
The elders of Jia Lie Bi's family were scared and their faces changed drastically, and they screamed in horror.
"Jia Lie Bi…"
Ao Ba Pa looked at Jia Lie Bi who had lost his head and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from his neck, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the rabbit and the fox.
How could he not see that Jia Lie Bi was not really angry?
Even if Jia Lie Bi was impulsive, he wouldn't dare to be wild with a Dou Wang.
[ T/N: These family head don't know that Xiao Cang had a breakthrough to Dou Huang ]
The reason why he dared to snort and wave his sleeves was because he felt that Xiao Cang would not kill him if he disagreed, so he wanted to use this to lead the family heads to refute Xiao Cang and strive for more assets for the Jia Lie Bi family.
But who could have thought that their lives were so cheap in Xiao Cang's eyes, and he killed them when he said he would.
Even Xiao Zhan, who was sitting on the top seat, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
His mortal enemy who had been at odds with him for decades was just casually killed by Xiao Cang's puppet…
But Xiao Cang seemed to have done a trivial thing, not only without any waves, but also showed a gentle smile to everyone.
But this smile at this moment in everyone's eyes is more terrifying than the devil.
"Let me introduce, this is my puppet humanoid puppet, with the cultivation of a nine-star Dou Wang."
Hiss! A nine-star Dou Wang puppet…
Everyone's pupils shrank, and they were all horrified.
Even a puppet has the cultivation of a nine-star Dou Wang … What kind of background does Xiao Cang have!
"If anyone here thinks that this Xiao's conditions are too excessive, just come up and try a punch of this humanoid puppet."
"If you can resist it, I will give your family a way out of this" Xiao Cang said lightly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyelids jumped wildly.
Compete with a nine-star Dou Wang?
They wouldn't have enough lives to die even if they had ten lives!
At this point, Ao Ba Pa saw that there was no turning point in this matter, so he showed a bitter smile and stood up first: "Just now Miss Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni were right, buying my Ao Ba Pa family's shops and other businesses with a copper coin is fair enough, I Ao Ba Pa … have no objections."
After Ao Ba Pa finished speaking, he looked like he had aged several decades, with a full face of sorrow.
Seeing this, the other family heads also gave up their unrealistic hopes one after another, and spoke one after another.
"My Su family has no objections."
"My Liu family has no objections."
"My Huo family…"
"My Tang family…"
"…"
One by one, the people who used to have some faces in Wutan City, after saying these words one after another, lost their luster in their eyes and sat down dejectedly.
From this moment on, the Xiao family officially swallowed the other two major families and many second-rate families, becoming a behemoth that dominates Wutan City…
