Maybe I really didn't expect that Fang Ze would be so arrogant after seeing him.
Therefore, the man took a deep look at Fang Ze, and then asked in a slow and deep voice, "You should know who I am, right?"
Fang Ze...ignored him.
However, he looked down at the watch and said, "4 minutes and 40 seconds."
Perhaps because he has been in a high position for all these years, no one has ever dared to talk to him like this. The anger in the man's heart spreads, and the veins on his forehead beat slightly.
He has the intention to be angry.
However, when he thought about how rare Fang Ze was now, holding the only way to believe in spiritual ascension in the entire federation, he could only suppress the anger in his heart before he wanted to speak.
At this time, Fang Ze spoke again, "4 minutes and 30 seconds."
man:! !
The man finally couldn't wait any longer and said directly, "Our Jiang family can help you control the Emerald City Security Bureau."
Fang Ze glanced at him, "No need. Thank you. 4 minutes and 20 seconds."
man:!
The man took a deep breath and said, "I can also give you 50 million lini."
Fang Ze didn't even bother to say anything this time. He just looked at his watch and moved his lips slightly, as if he was counting.
The veins on the man's forehead throbbed again.
This time, he spoke much faster, "We can also help you solve the case of Huayang Jie's death. Let this case not affect you!"
"If you are still not satisfied, in addition to the above, we can also send you ten more beauties from other races!"
Having said this, he paused and said, "I helped you solve the crisis and gave you rights, wealth, and beauty."
He looked deeply at Fang Ze, and then said seriously, "This condition is not low. Fang Ze."
Fang Ze finally stopped counting this time.
He raised his head, looked at the man as if he were a fool, and then said, "First of all. Asking others if they know you is really low."
"If you are famous, others will know who you are without asking."
"If you were not famous, wouldn't you feel very embarrassed if you asked others but didn't know?"
"Besides, is it useful to know you? Does it mean we don't need to negotiate?"
"I just have the intention to cooperate with you, and I don't even have to cooperate."
"Your identity has no value to me."
"So, ask me if I know you...tsk tsk." At this point, Fang Ze slowly shook his head.
Perhaps because no one had ever dared to ridicule him in person like this, the man's face turned red with anger.
Fang Ze seemed not to notice, and continued after shaking his head, "Secondly, I don't think the conditions you gave are sincere."
"First, the death of Huayang Jie was originally caused by Jiang Cheng's assassination of me."
"You are the culprit of this matter. It has nothing to do with me."
"So, don't you think it's ridiculous to use solving this matter as a bargaining chip?"
"Two, you said you can help me control the security bureau."
"However, the Security Bureau is not within your sphere of influence. If you help me control the Security Bureau, are you helping me or expanding your territory?"
"Three, those ten foreign beauties."
"Let's not talk about whether it is really beautiful. Even if it is really beautiful, who knows if there are any of your spies here?"
"Who dares to use it casually?"
"Four... is also the most important point. You said you would compensate me 100 million lini..."
The man corrected, "Fifty million lini."
Fang Ze, "Oh, one hundred and fifty million lini."
man:.....
Fang Ze, "In the past ten years, in order to obtain the way to [Faith Ascension], you have delivered dozens of [Qin 28] to the eight major gangs every year."
"It's worth hundreds of millions a year."
"In the end, the direct way to buy [Faith Ascension] from me is only 200 million lini?"
Speaking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but look at the man and said, "Isn't it a bit too cheap?"
After hearing what Fang Ze said, the man looked at Fang Ze just like that.
After a moment, he said, "[Qin 28] was bought at a high price by the Eight Gangs, not from us. You are trying to change the concept."
"And what I promised was 50 million lini, not 200 million."
At this point, he probably felt that there was no point in continuing to argue about this. The man was silent for a moment, so he said directly, "Let's not show off."
"Tell me your conditions. You should already have a suitable price in mind, right?"
Hearing the man's words, Fang Ze suddenly smiled.
He said, "Of course."
Man, "Say."
Fang Ze, "I want Jiang Cheng's life."
The man's expression froze, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said decisively, "Impossible!"
.......
Half an hour later, Fang Ze hung up the communication with satisfaction.
Of course, he did not achieve his goal: it is absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to sacrifice the life of a direct descendant in exchange for something whose effect is unknown.
However, this does not prevent Fang Ze from asking for high prices with this bargaining chip.
Anyway, in negotiations with a man, as long as he is not satisfied with the conditions, he will directly use this excuse to start over, "I still feel that I am more interested in Jiang Cheng's life."
Every time this happened, the man's veins would jump in his forehead and he would restart the negotiation.
Of course, during this period, there were several times when the conversation almost broke down, but in the end, Fang Ze pulled him back.
After all, although belief in the path to spiritual ascension is important, no one knows whether it is really a successful path, or whether the genius of the Jiang family is really willing to ascend to spirit through this path.
Although the Jiang family wanted it, they were not willing to give everything.
So, in the end, under Fang Ze's sky-high asking price, the Jiang family agreed to three conditions.
The first condition is: The Jiang family promises to pay the price, settle the death of Huayang Jie, and will not let this matter involve Fang Ze.
According to Fang Ze's observation of the man, he can almost confirm that this incident is indeed a bit painful for the Jiang family, but it is probably not to the extent of breaking the bones.
Therefore, this also made him set a higher standard for the next conditions.
The second condition is that the Jiang family must provide Fang Ze with compensation worth 250 million lini. The way of compensation is to settle in precious metals.
The third condition is that the Jiang family must prepare 200 defensive treasures for Fang Ze. Among them are one super-level defensive Noble Phantasm and five high-level defensive Noble Phantasms.
After preparing this set, the total value is about 1-2 million linnies.
Finally, Fang Ze took the opportunity to bring over the 10 foreign beauties. It's a head start.
This also made the veins on the forehead of the head of the Jiang family jump again.
In general, Fang Ze's asking price almost hit the Jiang family's psychological bottom line.
If it were one more point higher, the Jiang family would probably give up on this negotiation and then turn around to find other ways to ascend to the spirit.
Although the ancestors of the Jiang family were dying, they were not that close. They still gave them a lot of time to maneuver...
Therefore, they will not give everything to gamble on a method that may only succeed.
.......
Just like that, the negotiation ended. Fang Ze hummed and hung up the communication under the man's cold gaze.
Because there are a lot of things to prepare, the Jiang family will prepare everything Fang Ze needs in about a week and hand them over to Fang Ze.
At that time, Fang Ze will hand over the [Faith Ascension Path] to them only after there are no problems with the inspection.
However, this does not prevent Fang Ze from taking stock of what he has gained from the Hua Chao Festival incident during this period.
First of all, he got it from the flower god's clone [Qin 28]. 69 pieces in total.
According to the information obtained from Xiaocao, almost 90% of the operating income of the seven major gangs over the years was used to buy [Qin 28].
Therefore, this is already Fang Ze's most important wealth!
According to the market price valuation, the total value is approximately 690 million lini.
However, although the value of these 69 [Qin 28] is very high, because it is a strategic resource, it is impossible to buy it, so it is actually priceless.
In addition, whether it is Fang Ze's upgrade (for example, he just used 5 of them yesterday) or Miao Miao's upgrade, he needs [Qin 28], so Fang Ze feels that he should not use these treasures if he can. Keep it as much as possible.
In addition to [Qin 28], there is the 250 million lini of precious metals that Fang Ze just extorted from the Jiang family.
As the world's hard currency, precious metals can be almost directly exchanged with currency.
With this money, not to mention the 1.6 million lini that Fang Ze owed Xiao Bailing during this period, even Fang Ze's resources before Huayang level should not have to worry about it.
As long as he has the corresponding improvement skills, he can first use [Credit World] to learn them, and then use [Usury] to borrow money, and then he can be promoted quickly without any obstacles!
Even, because this money is very large, Fang Ze can also use these resources to cultivate a group of his cronies and elites of the Devil's Cult.
It can be said that I have really gained weight.
Finally, there are the 200 defensive treasures and 10 foreign beauties given by the Jiang family.
Let’s talk about the 10 foreign beauties first. Fang Ze thought about it very clearly.
He really didn't dare to use the beauty of the Jiang family, so he would directly give it to the Bai family.
Anyway, the Bai family has a big business and has a place to employ people.
And since they are both nobles, the Bai family must have means to prevent spies, so Fang Ze doesn't need to worry.
This can be regarded as repaying Fang Ze's favor to Aunt Jin.
As for the 200 defensive treasures.
Fang Ze planned to give Xiao Bailing a high-level defensive treasure (Xiao Bailing had previously stolen a defensive treasure from her father for Fang Ze to use).
Keep the rest for your own use!
After coming to this world for three or four months, Fang Ze discovered: everyone in this world is high in attack and low in defense!
All of them have frighteningly high attacks, but very poor defense.
Including Fang Ze himself.
So... Fang Ze can bring as many life-saving things as he can.
Chainmail, you know?
It's the kind where 199 defensive treasures worth more than 100 million are strung together as clothes.
After thinking about the harvest during this period, Fang Ze did a little calculation, and then he was surprised to find that he actually... earned a full 1 billion lini of resources in this Flower Festival incident!
Simply scary!
Sure enough, only windfall can make you rich!
Fang Ze felt that he suddenly became a rich man!
And just when Fang Ze was thinking this, suddenly, someone knocked on his bedroom door from outside, "dong dong dong".
Hearing the knock on the door, Fang Ze came back to his senses.
He lowered his head and checked his current situation. After making sure that there was nothing that could reveal his "net worth" or what he had just done, he slowly said, "Please come in."
The bedroom door was pushed open, and one of Fang Ze's two "bodyguards" came in with an embarrassed look on his face, and then said, "Director Fang, someone is looking for you."
Fang Ze glanced at the time strangely.
It was already late when he left the space carrier, and now after the negotiation with Jiang Cheng's father, it was already past 10 p.m.
Who would be looking for me at this time?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is looking for me?"
"The bodyguard" said, "This is Your Excellency Jiang Cheng."
When he heard it was Jiang Cheng, Fang Ze suddenly felt uninterested: after all, he was already someone who could negotiate with Jiang Cheng's father. There was nothing to talk about with a junior like Jiang Cheng.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but yawned, and then said, "No. Just say I fell asleep."
The "bodyguard" said helplessly, "But...we can't stop him and his men at all, he has already come in."
While talking, Jiang Cheng slowly walked in from outside with a few men in black.
Following that, he entered Fang Ze's room. His people trotted to stand in several corners of the room. There were also several people who took the two bodyguards aside and told them not to disturb Jiang Cheng and Fang Ze. meeting.
When his men occupied Fang Ze's room respectively, Jiang Cheng himself stepped into Fang Ze's bedroom, and then while looking at Fang Ze's home, he said casually, "I didn't expect you to live in a place like this."
Fang Ze said impatiently, "If you don't like it, give me a villa."
Jiang Cheng's expression froze, and he was almost punched in the chest by Fang Ze.
He took a breath, and then... he actually nodded and agreed, "Okay. No problem."
"What kind of villa do you want? I will arrange for someone to send it to you tomorrow."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Fang Ze raised his eyebrows, his eyes wavered slightly, and he roughly guessed Jiang Cheng's purpose of coming here today: he wanted to reconcile.
Although he didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Cheng's head, Fang Ze was not interested in reconciliation.
After all, he and Jiang Cheng had a life-and-death feud, so there was no way they could reconcile that easily.
Thinking of this, he yawned and said deliberately, "You are really generous. Then please go to my secretary tomorrow and handle the transfer."
"As for other things, I'm not in the mood to talk."
"The door opens to the west. Walk slowly and don't see me off."
Seeing that Fang Ze was "escape" from communicating with him again, Jiang Cheng, who was obviously well prepared today, quickly said with a smile, "Fang Ze, don't refuse in such a hurry. I think we can talk."
He said, "After all, I am the municipal councilor of Emerald City. You work in Emerald City and you need me for many things."
Fang Ze said lukewarmly, "You are a municipal committee member, and I am also the director of the Security Bureau."
"We are at the same level, I don't need your help."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It was a slip of the tongue. It shouldn't be said that I helped you, it should be that we help each other."
"If you think about it, there are only 13 committee members in the entire Emerald City. You can't do anything without these 13 committee members."
"Next, Emerald City will become the focus of the entire Eastern Region, and many big shots will look over."
"Although there is a little conflict between the two of us, in the final analysis, it is all misunderstandings. There is no hatred that cannot be resolved."
"So, how about we turn our hostility into friendship?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Fang Ze really looked at him as if he were a fool.
The initial conflict between the two was indeed due to a misunderstanding: it was Jiang Cheng's men who secretly attacked Fang Ze, and Jiang Cheng did not know about it.
but!
After this incident, the two of them went back and forth, and they had countless life-and-death feuds!
Jiang Cheng actually has the nerve to say "I don't have much hatred"?
Co-author...The person being hunted is not you, so it doesn't count as a grudge?
Have some face!
Thinking like this, Fang Ze was too lazy to continue pretending.
He said directly, "You're right, there really isn't that big of animosity between us. After all, I don't take you seriously at all."
"Because, you... don't deserve it."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, the expression on Jiang Cheng's face froze.
He himself is an extremely proud person, and being able to take the initiative to surrender tonight is already his limit.
Now being directly ridiculed by Fang Ze, the expression on his face suddenly lost its expression.
He looked at Fang Ze with cold eyes, and then said, "Do you mean that you must be my enemy?"
After hearing his words, Fang Ze said helplessly, "Brother. Can you have a little face?"
"I already told you that you are not worthy of being my enemy. Why are you still sticking up for me!"
"Does it mean that by becoming my enemy, you can improve your already low level of strength?"
"Don't you know that I always chat with your father?"
"In terms of seniority, I'm still your uncle!"
Jiang Cheng:!
To be honest, Jiang Cheng was really annoyed at that moment.
He looked at Fang Ze and said conspiratorially, "Fang Ze, it's because of the upcoming opportunity in Emerald City that I deigned to come to reconcile with you."
"You humiliated me several times!"
"Are you really not afraid that I will kill you now?"
After hearing his words, Fang Ze became serious for the first time tonight.
He is a clone now, what is he afraid of? Can Jiang Cheng still slash his body along the clone? So he looked at Jiang Cheng provocatively with his bright eyes, "Just you?"
Having said this, he glanced at the people Jiang Cheng brought, "Or is it just you?"
His eyes fell on Jiang Cheng again,
"Do you think...you can really kill me?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng's hands clenched slightly, and the expression on his face swung between madness and restraint. It was obvious that he was really tempted...
At this moment, Fang Ze looked at him with cold eyes, and then suddenly shouted, "Where are the five Huayang-level guards!"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng woke up suddenly, and then ran out of the bedroom like a frightened rabbit!
At that moment, he seemed to recall the shocking scene that day when he used the extraordinary treasure to see five Huayang steps appear in the air and join forces to kill Shang Quan!
Shang Quan is not considered a weakling in Huayang Rank, at least he is stronger than Jiang Cheng.
As a result, at that moment, he didn't even have the power to fight back!
That scene really impressed Jiang Cheng's mind so deeply that he was so frightened that he immediately greased the soles of his feet.
But now, Fang Ze once again evoked his memory of that time, so he tensed up and remained vigilant at all times, fearing that the five Huayang-level masters would suddenly appear and kill him just like that day!
Just like that, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
Half a minute passed quickly. Jiang Cheng slowly came back to his senses and realized: That's not right! Let’s not talk about whether Fang Ze’s five Huayang Stages are around!
Even if she is around...among those five people, there is also Bai Zhi's aunt Jin Luan!
When did Jin Luan become Fang Ze's bodyguard?
Is this kid lying to me? !
And just as he was thinking this, Fang Ze's careless voice came from inside the house, "Nephew Jiang Chengxian, walk slowly, don't send me off. Remember to be polite and close the door."
At this moment, Jiang Cheng didn't know that he was being tricked!
His face was livid, his hands were clenched and white, his teeth were clenching, and his eyes were full of resentment and shame!
However, maybe because his bold idea just now was interrupted, or maybe he was worried that there was really a Huayang-level master ambushing nearby to protect Fang Ze, but he just didn't take action for the time being.
Anyway, in the end, he tossed his clothes angrily and left Fang Ze's house with his men!
However, the moment he left Fang Ze's house, Jiang Cheng suddenly turned around and coldly said, "Fang Ze, I swear to kill you!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to close the door...
........
But at this time, Fang Ze in the room had a calm expression on his face.
Fang Ze's own personality is the kind of person who enjoys grudges.
Jiang Cheng and his men made trouble for Fang Ze several times, and even wanted to kill Fang Ze. The hatred between the two of them had become so strong that it could not be resolved.
Fang Ze was not really from Cedar State and had no concept of royal family or nobility.
In his original world, the education he had always received was: Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have the seed!
Therefore, Jiang admitted that he was condescendingly suing for peace, but Fang Ze just wanted him to get lost, wash his neck, and wait to die!
After all, Fang Ze now has "funding" from Jiang Cheng's father, and his strength will soon be on the fast track.
Based on Fang Ze's understanding of his abilities and strength, he felt that when he reached the spiritual level, maybe... he could start dragging Jiang Cheng into the late-night investigation room and kill him!
After that, he was put into a demigod prison, and then transformed into him, allowing him to "die twice" in this world...
Only in this way, Fang Ze felt that the hatred between himself and Jiang Cheng would be completely ended!
As for the opportunities and challenges that Emerald City will face next...
Fang Ze felt that this was not as important as killing the enemy with his own hands!
.........
And when Fang Ze and Jiang Cheng and his son were fighting one after another, at the same time.
Space Carrier, Aunt Jin’s room.
Although Fang Ze had already left the space carrier, Bai Zhi did not leave with him tonight.
At this time, she was in Aunt Jin's room, accepting Aunt Jin's "comfort".
Aunt Jin hugged Bai Zhi, sighed slightly, and said, "Xiao Zhi. I know you are a very strong child."
"However, the family also has its own considerations on this matter."
"The Flower Festival has attracted the attention of many important people in the eastern jurisdiction."
"They want to use this place for experiments. To see the power of the demigod's arrival, and to see the subsequent impact after the secret realm is completely cracked."
"During this period, many big shots and people from district-level departments will come to Emerald City for inspection."
"In this case, the Security Bureau's tasks will be very arduous. If you are appointed as the director, it will actually harm you."
"After all, you don't have much management experience. Your brain...well, you're not particularly bright either. Let alone receiving those people, even if you are scheming with the dozen or so municipal committee members in Emerald City, you may not be able to do it well. .”
"So, at home..."
Listening to Aunt Jin's ramble, Bai Zhi couldn't help but interrupt her, and then said, "Aunt Jin, you don't need to explain so much to me."
"Although I really don't understand the various considerations at home. But...how to put it, I really don't care about the position of the director."
She smiled and said, "Besides, I think I'm pretty good the way I am."
"I didn't want to do clerical work, I didn't want to deal with the complicated official duties, and I didn't want to scheming with others."
"And Fang Ze is one of our own. He has a bright mind. With him here, I don't have to do the things I don't like to do anymore."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Aunt Jin was obviously stunned.
Obviously, in her heart, or the mentality shown by Bai Zhi in the past ten years, it was not like this.
She thought for a moment, then touched Bai Zhi's hair with a distressed look on her face, and said, "Xiao Zhi, are you really angry at home?"
"I know you're not the kind of person who doesn't want to make progress."
"You have always been very motivated and have been working hard for the glory of your family."
She said a little sadly, "So, how could you possibly want to live a life of idleness all day long, doing nothing but doing what you want to do?"
"What's the difference between you like that and those people who have no pressure in life and only know how to play when they're full, sleep when they're tired from playing, and eat when they're full?"
"How could you possibly want to be that kind of person!"
Hearing Aunt Jin's words, Bai Zhi could hardly restrain the smile on her face. She smiled and said, "Aunt Jin, I want to do it. Actually, I really want to do it!"
She repeated seriously, "Actually, I have always wanted to be a straw bag in your eyes! Really!"
Aunt Jin:? ? ?
Aunt Jin was a little dumbfounded.
She couldn't help but carefully read Bai Zhi's expression, trying to see if Bai Zhi was talking angrily.
But... Bai Zhi's expression was extremely joyful, and her eyes were very sincere.
At that moment, Aunt Jin was in a daze. She suddenly felt that she had never understood Bai Zhi.
Could it be that, in these years, he and his family have all misjudged her?
Then why has she been pretending to be hardworking and motivated for so many years?
Thinking about it, Aunt Jin couldn't help but think of the incident that caused Bai Zhi's temperament to change...
That incident had a huge impact on the entire Eastern Region....
