Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 86 I'm tired

Heh heh, heroes aren't defeated by hardship and setbacks, but they can be corrupted by sweet talk. 🐸👊 ♞💲

Looking at Hun Xin, whose lips were streaked with tears, Xiao Yan revealed a smug smile.

"Call me Master."

"Where's the candy?"

"You should call me Master first."

"I want to eat the candy first."

A black line appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead. This girl was probably just a simple foodie.

However, with the attitude of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," he turned to the other three and said calmly, "Come back tomorrow morning and each of you will receive ten thousand gold coins."

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" The three men's faces lit up with ecstasy.

Ten thousand gold coins was a fortune they could only dream of.

Seeing this scene before him, Xiao Yan revealed a subtle smile.

Sometimes, receiving too much money all at once might not be a good thing.

Money can provide a comfortable life, but it can also corrupt one's will and soul.

When Xiao Yan was down on his luck in his previous life, he met a few friends. Some of these people later won the lottery, and some even made millions overnight through gambling.

But in the end, all of these people were burdened with debt and mired in debt.

When a person acquires wealth beyond their control, it often marks the beginning of misfortune.

As for whether these people would rise to prominence or decline after receiving 10,000 gold coins, that was no longer Xiao Yan's concern.

Those who rise up have forged a good connection, while those who fail to rise up have been truly strangled by his subtle tactic.

He was a bad person to begin with, so how could a bad person so easily receive benefits?

After the three left, Xiao Yan glanced at the little bean sprout that was just up to his thigh.

"Chief Galley, please arrange for someone to send this child home."

Xiao Yan glanced at Jia Liebi.

"Yes." Galebi obediently assigned two of his men to take Hun Xin with him.

"Where's the lollipop?" Hun Xin looked longingly at his newly acquainted master.

"You two buy her a hundred lollipops, then come back and collect your reward." Xiao Yan glanced at the two servants of the Jia Lie family.

"Yes, yes." The two servants nodded hurriedly. This young man was someone even the clan leader couldn't afford to offend.

Upon hearing about a hundred lollipops, Hun Xin's big eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs.

If there is any real cosmic flicker, it is right now in her eyes.

"Thank you, Master." The little boy smiled sweetly.

"This character doesn't deserve to be the protagonist," Xiao Yan said, rubbing his forehead.

After Hun Xin left, Xiao Yan slowly walked back to his seat and sat down.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, the money you promised these people is more than 100,000 gold coins, and this money will be paid by our Mittel Auction House. You've certainly made a good calculation."

Ya Fei, standing to the side, glanced helplessly at Xiao Yan.

Ten thousand gold coins might be enough to win over Xiao Yan, but given how ruthless he is, it's unlikely we'll ever see a return on our investment.

Xiao Yan didn't speak, and tossed the Qi Gathering Powder in his hand to Ya Fei like a stone.

"If you auction this off, surely you can get at least 100,000 gold coins?"

"That's enough." Ya Fei didn't say anything, but she did feel a little disappointed.

Under her management, a single Qi Gathering Pill could fetch a high price of 200,000 gold coins at auction, resulting in a net profit of nearly 100,000 gold coins.

However, this amount of money is nothing compared to the favor bestowed upon a Dou Wang powerhouse.

As a true businesswoman, she deeply understands that temporary wealth is nothing; strong connections and relationships are one of the key reasons for the continuous generation of wealth.

"Here, you all get one, one for each of you." Xiao Yan glanced at the three patriarchs of the three families who were eyeing the bottle with envy, and tossed the three small jade bottles into their hands as if they were unwanted trash.

The three were taken aback, and each opened the jade bottle to take a look. After a moment, an uncontrollable smile appeared on their old faces.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao Yan. You are very generous."

Selling a single Qi Gathering Pill is almost equivalent to the family's net profit for a year.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Go to Hun Xin's house tomorrow and bring her over to me. You must be very polite. I don't care what methods you use, you must make sure that her parents willingly send their child to my door."

If the money isn't enough, give more. If ten thousand isn't enough, give one hundred thousand, one million. In short, the matter must be handled well, understand?

"Please rest assured, sir, the three of us will definitely handle this matter well." Jia Liebi was so eager to lick Xiao Yan's toes that he wished he could.

What does it mean to be a big spender? What does it mean to be extravagant? Xiao Yan was exactly like that.

Only after the three had left did Xiao Yan turn around and glance at Ya Fei, whose expression was complicated.

"What's wrong? Not satisfied?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

Ya Fei forced a smile.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, and ten small jade bottles appeared on the table beside him.

"Become my concubine, and all this Qi-gathering powder will be yours."

Ya Fei's smile paused for a moment, then she shook her head again.

"Wealth is indeed valuable, but if I lose myself for it," she said, her red lips parting slightly, clearly unwilling to lose her soul in this way.

Xiao Yan smiled. The woman in front of him was a businesswoman who was indeed profit-driven and even opportunistic, but that did not mean she did not have her own principles.

This earned Xiao Yan some appreciation.

But can she really refuse the things I propose later?

"I heard you've suffered a lot of injustices in the Mittel family over the years." Xiao Yan gestured for her to sit next to him.

Ya Fei sat down without hesitation. Even though the young man in front of her had awe-inspiring strength, to her, who had seen many storms, it was nothing more than his strength that commanded her respect.

"We've only known each other for a day, how do you know all this?" A smile still lingered on her pretty face, exuding wealth and allure.

Xiao Yan did not answer her question. Instead, he slowly said, "I can help you become the patriarch of the Mittel family and make you the commercial queen of the Gama Empire, or even the Northwest Continent."

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes, which had been calm all along, suddenly contracted, and she stared intently at Xiao Yan.

The unspeakable bitterness and obsession that had been suppressed in his heart surged up at this moment.

Having lost his parents at a young age and oppressed by his clan, if it weren't for the clan chief's remembrance of his father's past achievements and kindness, he would not know how miserable his current situation would be.

People only know her as a wealthy businesswoman, but they don't know how much hardship she went through to get to where she is today, from a naive teenage girl.

Over the years, reclaiming the inheritance left to her by her parents and becoming the head of the Mittel family has become an indelible obsession in her heart.

To live, one always needs a thought.

"Are you telling the truth?" She parted her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, her voice finally unable to suppress her emotions.

"It's true, and if you cultivate with me, your battle qi will improve much faster, and becoming a Dou Huang might not be impossible."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"A Dou Huang?" A blush rose on Ya Fei's pretty face, clearly understanding Xiao Yan's words about dual cultivation.

But none of that matters anymore. Sometimes, people are willing to give everything for that one obsession in their hearts, and it would be even better if they could improve their abilities.

All these years of doing business have ultimately been just a means to increase one's own value. Only by having strong strength can one truly gain dignity.

Years of business experience have taught her that competence is the foundation of everything.

"So why don't you hurry up and throw yourself into my arms?" Xiao Yan said with a smile, opening his arms wide.

Ya Fei hesitated for only a moment before gently resting her head on Xiao Yan's shoulder. She closed her beautiful eyes and sighed resignedly.

I'm tired.
