Carl smiled.
"How about this, 15 million points, and I will take action to solve your current opponent for you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shi Tao with disdain.
A Martial Artist who had just entered the Celestial Human Realm, even if he stood there and let the other hit him, the other couldn’t even hurt a hair on his head.
"15 million points!"
Not only the Song Family members, but even Shi Tao and others gasped.
For them, 10 million points were already the entire annual income of the whole association.
Yet the other party increased that by 50%! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Song Wu and others were stunned.
This Carl was truly shameless, opening his mouth like a lion!
million, why don’t you just ask for 20 million, or even 30 million points?
However, as members of the Song Family, they couldn’t say this directly and just looked at Song Tian, hoping he wouldn’t agree.
Fortunately, Song Tian did not disappoint them. After a brief thought, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Mr. Carl, 15 million points are really too many. Even though I’m the Patriarch of the Song Family, I don’t have that authority. The 10 million points I mentioned earlier is already the maximum I can decide."
"Is that so?"
Carl frowned, appearing very troubled.
The middle-aged man beside him was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Patriarch, at this critical moment, are you still asking for such a high price? If he were Song Tian, he wouldn’t agree either.
Moreover, several minutes had passed already. Perhaps, that Song Family Ancestor was already on his way back.
Once he returned, the deal would naturally fall through.
"How about this," Carl sighed again, "for the sake of our good relationship, I’ll reduce it a bit. 12 million points. As long as you’re willing to give me 12 million points, I’ll agree to help you deal with the upcoming matters."
"Patriarch Song, this is the biggest concession I can make. I hope you seriously consider it."
At the end, Carl deliberately emphasized his tone.
Did he know they would refuse the 15 million points?
Of course, he did.
But he did it anyway.
The purpose was to set the stage for the 12 million points request.
After all, if 15 million is too much, then a sudden reduction of 3 million, making it 12 million, should seem quite reasonable, right?
Of course, Song Tian could also refuse, perhaps even not offering the 10 million points. But before refusing, he had to carefully consider whether it would lead to some consequences.
Song Tian was stunned.
He caught the underlying threat in Carl’s words.
Behind him, Song Wu and others also looked grim.
They never expected to underestimate Carl’s shamelessness.
Seeing their elder brother not agreeing, Carl even resorted to threats.
If they refused, once they returned to the family, getting the support of the Revival Association to compete for an Elder Council seat would be much harder.
"Damn it!"
Song Wu clenched his fists.
They had invested so many resources in the Feng Country people over the years.
Their own disciples were short of cultivation resources.
Yet the appetite of the Feng Country people seemed like a black hole, never satisfying and always growing bigger.
"Patriarch Song."
No one expected Shi Tao to speak at this moment.
"Why not stop here? Let the past be the past. Our Jiangnan Martial Arts Association has never had any issues with the Song Family. With the Beast Tide about to break out, in a few days, Jiangnan City and even your super large city could be surrounded by the Beast Tide.
At that time, it’s not just Jiangnan City; your city could also be engulfed by the Beast Tide. Instead of hurting each other here, why not save strength to annihilate the Fierce Beasts?"
He wasn’t merely stalling for time; it’s what he truly felt.
