Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 253: Chapter 252: Time to Collect Interest

”Ah?” Chen Shao was bewildered; there’s going to be interest involved.

He looked angrily at Sun Guofu. If it weren’t for this bastard stirring up trouble, none of this would’ve happened. Five hundred million, and if there’s interest on top, how much would that be?

Sun Guofu’s calves trembled with fear. He had only made up an excuse to snatch Qi’er away. Who would’ve thought that this excuse would be turned around and used against them by Su Yang.

”Then... how much is it...” Chen Shao asked with a trembling voice.

”What do you think it should be?” Su Yang countered.

”This...” Chen Shao’s face turned ashen. After hesitating for a long while, he clenched his teeth and said, ”Six... six hundred million?”

For Chen Biao, this sum was astronomical. Moreover, if Chen Biao knew it was because of his son that the money increased by one hundred million, Chen Shao wouldn’t have an easy time once he was back home.

”Heh...” Su Yang picked up the teacup from the table, totally ignoring Chen Shao.

Chen Shao swallowed, his voice shaking as he said, ”Then... seven hundred million?”

”Fatty, go check if our meal in the kitchen is ready!” Su Yang didn’t even give him a look.

”I... we can only go up to eight hundred million...” Chen Shao’s voice started to have a sobbing tone, ”We really don’t have that much money, any more and... and our businesses won’t be able to continue, then we’ll be thoroughly... thoroughly ruined...”

”Hehe...” Su Yang put down the teacup and said leisurely, ”Do you know Xie Laogui from Xiqiu City?”

Chen Shao nodded. This person was on par with his father, of course he knew him.

”Xie Laogui paid his debt to me last month. He paid ten billion at that time!” Su Yang said with a smile, ”How much do you think you should pay?”

”Ten billion?” Chen Shao exclaimed in shock, ”You... this is outright robbery. We don’t have that kind of money! Ten billion, you’re trying to force us to sell off our family assets. Then... then what would we have left for the future...”

”I didn’t say you had to pay ten billion,” Su Yang said with a smile.

Chen Shao sighed in relief, but what Su Yang said next left him dumbfounded again.

”You need to pay fifteen billion,” Su Yang said quietly.

”What?!” Chen Shao jumped up in outrage, ”Fifteen billion? Why don’t you just go rob someone? Where would we find fifteen billion for you? Are you talking nonsense?”

”How could I rob? Robbery is illegal,” Su Yang said with a smile, ”This is what you owe me, rightfully mine. Young master, if you cannot decide this, call your dad and have him come and talk to me, how about that?”

”No need to call!” Chen Shao shouted, ”It’s impossible. We can’t give you fifteen billion. If you have the guts, kill me!”

Su Yang set down his teacup, looking at Chen Shao with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, ”Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”

Chen Shao was now ready to risk everything, yelling angrily, ”Fifteen billion, you’re practically asking us to die. Su Yang, I know you’re very powerful in Nanluo City, and even those big shots from Pingnan Province are afraid of you. But don’t forget, this is Zhongchang City, the home turf of the Chen Family. You might use other forces to pressure me, but distant water won’t put out a nearby fire. If I get killed, let’s see if you can even get out of Zhongchang City!”

”Well said!” Su Yang stood up, slamming the table and laughing, ”A good phrase, ’distant water won’t put out a nearby fire.’ You see things pretty clear, young master.”

Chen Shao puffed out his chest with pride, in his view, Su Yang was only intimidating by borrowing the influence of the Ten Great Families. If it really came to a desperate fight, Zhongchang City was their territory. If a few hundred people were called in, could Su Yang still not be killed?

So Su Yang walked over to Chen Shao, gently patted his shoulder, and laughed, ”However, when have I, Mr. Su, ever needed distant water for rescue? Now, call your dad and have him send the money over.”

”Remember, I’m only giving him three days. If he doesn’t come on the first day, I’ll break both your hands. If he doesn’t come on the second day, I’ll break both your legs. The third day, it’ll be your life. Whether you can return in one piece depends on how fast your dad is!”

”You wouldn’t dare!” Chen Shao roared, ”If you dare to break even a finger of mine, my dad won’t let any of you walk out of Zhongchang City alive!”

With a slap, Su Yang directly smacked Chen Shao across the face, sending him flying.

Su Yang said coldly, ”Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll knock out all your teeth!”

Chen Shao trembled with fear, not daring to utter another word. He had realized that he couldn’t intimidate Su Yang at all.

Fatty, sitting beside Su Yang, muttered, ”Su Yang, not to criticize you, but why give this guy time? Three more days? Are we supposed to stay here for another three days?”

”Let’s stay, I’ve actually got some things to take care of!” Su Yang said.

”That works!” Fatty immediately waved his hand, ”Hey, Sun Guofu, come here.”

”Ah?” Sun Guofu walked over, trembling, with a look of terror on his face.

”Go, arrange for the best hotel in town,” Fatty ordered.

Sun Guofu let out a sigh of relief and quickly said, ”Okay, I... I’ll go make the arrangements right away...”

Seeing Sun Guofu scurry off, Master Fang couldn’t help but wonder, ”Master Lü, for something like this, why let the kid handle it?”

”You don’t get it!” Fatty said, ”If he arranges it, we won’t have to spend a dime!”

Master Fang: ”...”

Everyone on the scene: ”...”

Are these people, who are demanding billions, really thinking about saving on hotel expenses? Besides, it’s just a small-town guesthouse—how much could that possibly cost?

After dinner, Su Yang and his companions returned to the hotel, where Su Yang took Chen Shao straight to his room.

”Mr. Wang came looking for you, what’s that about?” Su Yang asked.

Chen Shao turned his head away and said coldly, ”Let me go, and I’ll tell you!”

”Heh...” Su Yang laughed, ”You’ve got quite a backbone. Alright, I’ll give you this chance!”

Su Yang walked over to Chen Shao, took out two silver needles, and directly inserted them into Chen Shao’s body.

”What are you doing?” Chen Shao asked anxiously. With the silver needles piercing his body, he was completely stiffened and unable to move.

”You’ll know soon enough,” Su Yang said with a smile. ”I’m going for a half-hour walk to aid digestion. Take that time to think about whether or not you’re going to talk!”

Su Yang walked out of the room with his hands clasped behind his back. Before long, screams of agony filled with sobs and howls echoed from the room.

”Don’t run away, come back, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you...” Chen Shao yelled with a crying tone.

But Su Yang didn’t pay him any attention at all. He went to Fatty and Master Fang’s room and played Fight the Landlord for half an hour before leisurely returning.

Chen Shao had been howling for a full half hour, his voice now hoarse. When he saw Su Yang return, he seemed as if he had seen a savior, and he said tremulously, ”Boss, boss, I... I’ll talk, I’ll talk... Please spare me...”

Su Yang smiled faintly, ”Wouldn’t it have been better to say that earlier? Why act tough with me?”
