Chapter 367 Extortion is the Path to Wealth

Old Master Song showed no sign of restraint; her oppressive aura still made everyone present feel breathless. She glanced coldly at Prince Qian, her killing intent undisguised.

"Keep your mouths shut! What kind of trash dares to mess with Shrek Academy? Are all the royal family members of the Sun Moon Empire just dog shit? Huh? I think you're asking for a beating again!"

After saying that, Old Song reached into his robe and took out two very formal-looking letters. One was titled "Cooperation Proposal" and the other was "Declaration of War".

Everyone's faces turned even paler, especially Lin Jiayi, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat that rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Old Song snorted coldly and tore the "Cooperation Proposal" to shreds in front of everyone. The scraps of paper fell in front of Prince Qian. Then he slapped the "Declaration of War" onto Prince Qian's face.

"Your royal family's animosity towards Shrek Academy is truly intense, from the students to the royal guards, and even to you, Prince. This blatant malice is disgusting. Since this declaration was written by Elder Mu himself and the date hasn't been set yet, why don't you, Prince Qian, set the date?"

Although Old Lady Song was an elderly woman, her temper was as fierce as ever. Her domineering aura frightened Prince Qian and Lin Jiayi, turning them pale. The declaration trembled slightly due to Old Lady Song's soul power fluctuations, as if the entire Sun Moon Empire would face a disaster once Prince Qian put pen to paper.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Lin Jiayi finally couldn't help but shout, his whole body trembling and beads of sweat forming on his forehead, "Senior Song, you're pushing the two great empires to the brink of war!"

The Prince of Qian also sensed the naked killing intent of Elder Song. He felt a chill in his heart and realized that if he really wrote it down, this day next year would probably be his death anniversary.

That crazy woman will definitely kill herself first as a sacrifice!
"Senior Song."

The Prince of Qian looked embarrassed, suppressing his anger and forcing a smile. "This is truly a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! How could our Sun Moon Empire's royal family harbor any ill will towards Shrek Academy? My nephew is young and ignorant, and acted impulsively, causing trouble for Shrek Academy's exchange students. It's truly a matter of our royal family's failure to properly educate him!"

Old Song gave a cold laugh and did not answer, but urged Prince Qian to continue with his eyes.

Prince Qian gritted his teeth and continued, "Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, renowned throughout the world, and holds a lofty position. Our Sun Moon Empire holds it in the highest esteem! If possible, we would like to maintain a good relationship with your academy in the future. Regarding this matter, our royal family is willing to compensate for everything, including emotional distress, lost wages, and damage to reputation..."

After listing more than a dozen compensation items in one breath, Old Master Song finally relaxed his oppressive aura and snorted coldly, "Since you know you're wrong, then show some sincerity. We want compensation, not your empty platitudes."

"Please speak, Senior Song. We will certainly satisfy you as long as it is within our power!" The Prince of Qian was furious with the fools who had caused him trouble, but he still wore a respectful smile on his face.

"Ten tons of rare metals, to be delivered within three days," Old Song said succinctly.

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Qian's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to maintain a forced smile: "Ten...ten tons?"

"What? The Sun Moon Empire can't even produce ten tons of rare metals? Then pretend I didn't say anything, and just sign this declaration of war." Old Song pretended to take back the declaration of war.

"No no no!"

Prince Qian quickly shook his head, "Ten tons it is! Our Sun Moon Empire is a major mineral-producing country, we can certainly afford this! It will definitely be delivered within three days!"

Although the compensation was painful for him, it was insignificant compared to the potential war it could trigger. Besides, being able to send Shrek Academy away with material gifts was already the best possible outcome.

“Oh, right,” Old Song suddenly added, “these things must be delivered directly to Lin You. He is a victim of this incident and deserves this compensation.”

"what?"

Prince Qian nearly cried out in shock. He glanced at Lin You standing to the side, his anger blazing. This brat had utterly humiliated them and yet dared to claim to be a victim? If it weren't for the greater good…

In the end, Prince Qian swallowed his anger and nodded reluctantly: "No problem, I will personally arrange for someone to deliver it to Lin You."

Prince Qian was nearly driven mad. He had come to support the prince, but he never expected that a prince would be forced to have his head pressed down and be spat on. This was an utter disgrace! If others found out, he would lose all face.

Old Song nodded in satisfaction, put away the declaration of war, and his smile immediately became kind and amiable: "Then it's settled. Don't disappoint this old woman."

After saying that, she patted Lin You on the shoulder: "Little guy, let's go, don't waste time here."

Lin You nodded, gave a slight nod to Qian Wang and Lin Jiayi, and then left the conference room with Elder Song.

After Elder Song and Lin You had walked away, Prince Qian slammed his hand on the table, his face ashen: "Lin Jiayi!"

Lin Jiayi was startled: "Your Highness Prince Qian?"

"Not a single word of what happened today is to be spread, understand?" Prince Qian said coldly. "Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Lin Jiayi nodded and bowed hurriedly: "Understood, Your Highness, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut!"

The Prince Qian snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Lin Jiayi alone in the conference room, still shaken.

Just as he walked out, a dark figure appeared beside him. Without turning his head, the Prince Qian ordered, "Get rid of those five people. They're more trouble than they're worth."

In the following days, Lin You's reputation in the college soared.

The previous duels between Soul Masters didn't attract many spectators, but this time it was different.

The Royal Enforcement Team was kneeling on the ground in a blatant manner, while Lin You, the "culprit," was completely unharmed, which left many students in disbelief.

"Have you heard? That Shrek exchange student actually made six members of the Royal Guard kneel down!"

"Yeah, Wang Shaojie was so scared he foamed at the mouth and even had convulsions! Now it seems he's dropped out of school. Tsk, he got off easy. He's used to bullying everyone in the academy, now he's finally met his match."

"Damn, these outsiders are actually riding roughshod over the royal family! This is utter chaos, and the heavens have been turned upside down!"

Various discussions arose on campus, and wherever Lin You went, he would attract sidelong glances and whispers.

But he himself seemed completely unconcerned, maintaining his leisurely and carefree demeanor.

Three days later, a convoy escorted by a dozen royal guards arrived. The convoy carried the ten tons of rare metals promised by the Qian Prince, including some priceless minerals.

"Student Lin You," a royal guard chief bowed respectfully, "this is an apology gift sent by His Highness Prince Qian. Please take a look."

Lin You looked at the convoy in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

So, is faking an accident really the fastest way to make money?
I understand!
