Chapter 1521 - 1520: Dividing the Money
Dead and injured, the Beiyuan people were caught in incessant bloodshed, and despite anticipating Zhou Runfa's move, they were still taken by surprise."I seem to have smelled this scent somewhere before. Oh right, quickly go to the Kao Shan Shop, there are Detoxification Pills there, a third-grade Detoxification Pill will be enough, our eyes can still be saved!"
In the crowd, someone spoke up, and the originally chaotic, blood-covered people who were fleeing in panic now collectively ran towards the Kao Shan Shop.
Zhang Wang almost vomited his dinner from the night before when he saw the zombie-like scene.
"Quick, close the doors, the people inside the shop should stay inside for now, if anyone forcibly breaks out, kill them all!"
The 'zombies' with blood constantly oozing from their eyes and mouths kept pounding on the door of the Kao Shan Shop, unclear cries from outside, and even Zhang Wang being inside couldn't hear them clearly.
The people inside the Kao Shan Shop, who were buying things, were so scared by the outside commotion that they wouldn't dare to force their way out, even if urged to get out, they wouldn't budge, not in a life-threatening situation; who could afford such a joke?
"Third-grade Detoxification Pills, we're here to buy third-grade Detoxification Pills, please let us in!"
The bloodstains had dyed the door of the Kao Shan Shop red, each palm print seemed to silently protest.
"Buying third-grade Detoxification Pills?"
Zhang Wang's brain processed the words from the people outside, and in his hurried state, he finally had a bit of time to think about what might be happening outside.
"We've been poisoned, I heard that third-grade Detoxification Pills can save our lives, I beg the Shopkeeper, please sell us a pill!"
Those who carried Detoxification Pills with them were rare, those with Detoxification Pills were fine, once they consumed the pills, their bleeding stopped shortly after, and the pain disappeared entirely; for those without Detoxification Pills, it wasn't so easy, they worried not only about their blood running dry but also endured thousands of ants gnawing pain, the kind of heart-wrenching pain that prolonged for even a second, brings more torment.
Those enduring were starting to buy high-priced elixirs off strangers, and those without money were still resolutely knocking, some knocked, unable to bear the pain, collapsed on the ground.
Zhang Wang wasn't heartless, he counted his remaining stash of Detoxification Pills, took out the pills, and instructed the people outside to orderly line up, exchanging money for pills.
Tang Rao had wholesaled all the third-grade elixirs to Zhang Wang, so giving Detoxification Pills to dozens of people was not a problem for him.
"Originally one pill was ten Purple Crystals, given today's special circumstances, it's five Purple Crystals each, but remember, your lives today are saved by Tang Family Master Tang Rao and the Kao Shan Sect, the Family Head doesn't seek repayment, just hope that in the future should trouble arise, you avoid stirring up trouble and don't let down Tang Family Master's goodwill!"
"We wouldn't, Tang Family Master isn't pricing them higher, we're already very grateful, whatever Tang Family Master needs us to do in the future, we will; please quickly give us the pills, we can't hold on any longer."
Blood has its limits; once flowed out, there's no more, Zhang Wang could spend time talking, but it was better to save lives first, and then everything would be easier to discuss.
Once Zhang Wang got confirmatory replies from these people, he distributed the pills one by one, and only then did the people breathe a sigh of relief.
They may have stopped bleeding, but the blood at the door was still unsettling, Zhang Wang looked up, waved his hand, and rain began to wash away the blood outside the Kao Shan Shop.
As for the door, water rushed over it, soon cleaning it thoroughly as well.
Beiyuan moved swiftly with nothing wrong, but watching so many people head to Tang Rao's shop worried them, fearing they might do unthinkable things for survival; fortunately, nothing happened, and Zhang Wang didn't turn them away.
"Dad, you said we wanted to resolve things without alerting Tang Rao, but we didn't do it well, even causing trouble for the Kao Shan Shop, Tang Rao won't blame us, right?"
Bei Ming worriedly sighed.
"Indeed, it's possible."
Beiyuan was the Northern Island Master, puzzled why even as the head of a small family, merely imagining Tang Rao made his spine shiver.
The two worried so much their hearts were sinking, yet Tang Rao seemed unaffected; despite knowing all the chaos outside, he could still remain calm and wasn't bothered by any spectacle, indeed unlike Tang Rao's usual style.
"Tang Rao, share the profits!"
Fang Jinxiu and Lei Li walked together, Lei Li was the weakest of them, and apart from Tang Rao staying frequently with Lei Li lately, boosting her presence, Lei Li scarcely had any presence in others' minds.
Tang Rao was puzzled why the always fiery Fang Jinxiu appeared today with Lei Li.
His first thought was that Lei Li must have been threatened by Fang Jinxiu.
And this impression grew stronger till it seemed real upon further reflection.
"Share the profits, what profits?"
He had regularly given Fang Jinxiu money, noting that besides Bai Xiaotong who ran Warm Addiction, Fang Jinxiu doing armaments extracted the most from him.
"What profits? You sold so many elixirs today, surely made quite a bit, you alone profiting while we just watch?"
Fang Jinxiu hit the mark on Tang Rao's heart.
These girls only knew to reach out for money from Tang Rao, never thinking about how extravagantly he spent, he left little for himself.
"No money, you can ask how much Zhang Wang sold the elixirs for, just enough to cover costs, I invested the cost, and already recouped that, I haven't even settled accounts with Zhang Wang yet, and you heartless women aren't helping me, instead acting like Boss Zhou?"
Hmm!
Fang Jinxiu was very much in agreement with Tang Rao's words, for instance now, as Tang Rao mentioned things, Fang Jinxiu nodded, nodded vigorously, with seriousness!
"We're straightforward people, just say, share or not, if not, Lei Li and I will go to the Kao Shan Shop to buy things, with the bill on your account."
Charging Tang Rao's account wasn't possible, absolutely impossible.
Tang Rao didn't need to think much but refused directly.
"State how many Purple Crystals, set a price, I'm giving you permission, but remember this is just a chance for you to voice your wish, whether I agree is still up in the air."
"Ten thousand Purple Crystals!"
What?
Is Fang Jinxiu not afraid of the wind snapping her tongue?
Such bold thinking, who gave her that?
"Ten thousand, that's impossible."
"Five thousand, can't go lower than five thousand Purple Crystals, think about how much you've invested in the project line for so long?" Fang Jinxiu noted there wasn't much strain.
