Hearing this, Goatee's face showed a hint of strangeness, and he curled his lips and said, "Okay, you finally opened your mouth, then let's settle the matter."
As he spoke, Goatee took out a calculator from nowhere and clicked it. Then he raised his eyebrows, smiled sinisterly, stretched out his hand and said, "Including my nephew, the total is thirty-six." For an individual, if you round up, it’s forty, one million for each person, and if you round up again, the price is 50 million!”
After hearing this astronomical figure, I almost cursed. Even Mr. Liu frowned and his face became obviously ugly.
In today's society, a human life worth one million is considered a reasonable price, but when so many lives are added up, it is an astronomical figure.
Besides, it stands to reason that this money should not be a penny of Liu Baye's. It was obviously the man named Tan who threatened his local status and intervened. In the end, the entire army was annihilated. It is true. They were just memorizing it, but they never thought that the goatee would put all the blame on Mr. Liu Ba. He was really treacherous and cunning to the extreme.
"Fifty million? Mr. Tan, to put it bluntly, you are clearly robbing me!"
Liu Baye said with an ugly expression, his eyes obviously no longer had the surprise and suspicion towards the old man before, but instead were full of hatred and disgust.
"Ha ha ha ha……!"
Goatee laughed when he heard this, his smile was so cunning.
"Young man, you are really right. The family fortune I have today is all thanks to my own hands, bit by bit. What do you think, should I give it to you or not?"
Liu Baye's face became even more ugly, the veins on his forehead were prominent, and his hands were clenching loudly.
"Okay, I promise you, but fifty million is not a small amount, so you have to give me some time."
Liu Baye's compromising answer was obviously something that Goatee had expected, so when Liu Baye said these words, he didn't have much emotional fluctuations.
"Yes, but I invite your companions to stay in my manor for a few days. When you bring the money, I will naturally send them away personally."
As expected, he was an old fox, and he actually wanted Liu Qiaomei and the others to be used as hostages to threaten Liu Baye.
Let's not talk about whether that goatee can take Liu Qiaomei and her group hostage. Just this evil and shameless idea has already made Liu Ba Ye furious.
At this time, Liu Baye's eyes were slightly red, and he obviously had murderous intentions towards the goatee.
Goatee was an old man in the world, so he naturally noticed Master Liu's dissatisfaction, but he had no intention of contradicting Master Liu. On the contrary, his big eyes rolled in his sockets, and he said with a smile: "Young man." You also said just now that fifty million is not a small number, I can't believe your empty talk, I have to let me know what's wrong."
"However, I don't have to give up the 50 million. I just want one thing from you. Do you think so?"
After hearing this, I finally understood the intentions of this sinister and cunning goatee.
Fifty million is indeed a lot of money to many people, but in my opinion it is nothing here at Goatee.
Although Liu Baye's villa in Tongcheng is not big, it is worth nearly ten million.
As for Goatee, a huge manor, the price unit must be calculated in hundreds of millions.
So after all, after such a long time, Goatee's intention was not just for the mere 50 million, but for something else.
Master Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but soon he seemed to understand the ultimate purpose of the goatee.
"You want something from me, I don't know what it is, but it's worth fifty million?"
Hearing this, Goat Beard frowned and said, "Now that we have talked about it, let me tell you clearly. I want the thing on your body, can you give it to me?"
Although Goatee didn't say it clearly, Liu Baye already knew what he wanted, and it was clear that it was the soul of the blue dragon that he brought out from the fortress at the cost of his life.
Liu Baye instinctively touched a hand on his chest. It must be that the soul of the Canglong was contained there.
Seeing that Liu Baye remained silent, Goatee suddenly sighed and said, "Oh, this is indeed quite embarrassing. I won't force others to make things difficult. You should think carefully about it yourself and see if you hand over the things. It’s better to come up with 50 million.”
"But I have one thing to remind you. My patience is limited, and I will inevitably do something outrageous. If your companions are missing something at that time..."
This was clearly a naked threat, forcing Liu Baye to hand over the Canglong Soul.
Originally, in my opinion, Liu Qiaomei and her party were not in any danger. With Gouzi and Erbao around, they were enough to fight ten against one, or even more.
But now this goatee speaks so lightly. It is obvious that the people he sent to deal with Liu Qiaomei and the others are definitely not ordinary people, so they are so arrogant.
After a long time, Master Liu finally let out a long sigh and reached out to take out the Canglong Soul from his arms.
As soon as the Canglong Soul appeared, it emitted a burst of bright light, making the originally dark study look like a fairyland.
The goatee's big eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up from the chair in excitement, staring straight at the Canglong Soul in Liu Baye's hand.
The goatee winked, and the sultry woman on the side walked towards Mr. Liu Ba with light steps and a proud figure, and raised her hand to take the Canglong Soul. in hand.
The goatee tremblingly took over the Soul of the Blue Dragon from the woman's hand. At that moment, his entire face became ferocious and twisted.
"Hahahaha... That's great, that's great. With this magical object, I will be immortal, hahahaha...!"
Looking at the Canglong Soul held by Goatee in his hand, Liu Baye had a look of reluctance, and his expression was as ugly as if a relative had just died.
"Mr. Tan, now that you have taken the things, can my people and I leave Heihe safely?"
Goatee was completely immersed in boundless joy. He didn't even pay attention to Mr. Liu Ba. He said perfunctorily without raising his eyelids: "Okay, okay, let's go!"
Liu Baye looked helpless when he heard this. After taking one last look at the Canglong Soul, he turned around and walked out the door.
Liu Baye left, and I wanted to chase him out immediately, but when I thought of Liu Baye's depressed and lonely look, I hesitated.
I turned my head and secretly looked at the Azure Dragon Soul held in Goatee's hand. I actually thought about taking it back from his hands.
Although I was so close to the Canglong Soul at the moment, Liu Baye had just walked out. Even if he wanted to snatch it away, he would have to wait until Liu Baye and Liu Qiaomei were completely safe before taking action.
I thought he had such a treasure, and at such an old age, he should be able to keep his word.
But what the goatee said next made me want to twist his head off his neck and play it with a ball.
While he was joyful, Goatee suddenly had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. He said to the woman beside him sullenly: "If you let the tiger return to the mountains, there will be endless troubles. No one will be able to leave Heihe alive. I will leave this matter to you." Let’s do it!”
Upon hearing this, the woman responded charmingly, then turned around and squirmed out of the study, going to do what Goatee had told her.
As soon as the woman left, the goatee and I were the only two people left in the study.
Maybe he was so in love with the Canglong Soul that he forgot that I existed behind him.
The goatee looked at me sideways, then looked at my hands, and said coldly: "Go to the chief manager and get an extra month's salary. It will be considered as compensation for your medical expenses. Get out!"
