Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Two Percent Share Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Two Percent Share “Jing Tianying is here!”

“Jing Yan is here too!”

The crowd’s gaze shifted toward them as Jing Tianying and Jing Yan approached Long Chenyu’s weapon shop.

At this moment, a hint of coldness emerged on Jing Yan’s face.

“Jing Yan…” Jing Chenxing sighed helplessly.

“Uncle Chenxing, I know, there’s no need to say more.” Jing Yan’s gaze toward Jing Chenxing was very gentle, this matter wasn’t directly related to Jing Chenxing’s capabilities.

Despite being humiliated by Long Chenyu, Jing Chenxing still insisted on coming here time after time.

This sense of responsibility was not wasted as Jing Yan entrusted him to manage the establishment of the Pill Tower.

To someone like Long Chenyu, reasoning was obviously useless.

His words could be retracted at any time, and being greedy, he thought that with his background, no one in Donglin City could do anything to him.

“Ah…” Jing Chenxing sighed again.

Although Jing Yan showed no signs of blaming him, he still felt useless for not having managed the task assigned by Jing Yan properly.

“Jing Yan, what should we do now?” Jing Chenxing’s gaze shifted toward Long Chenyu’s weapon shop.

“I’ll take care of the matters from here,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

“Long Chenyu, come out and let’s talk!” Jing Yan’s presence intensified as his voice emerged.

Shortly after, Long Chenyu quickly emerged from within the weapon shop.

In fact, when Jing Yan and Jing Tianying arrived, he had already seen the two, but he hadn’t shown himself until Jing Yan called him out.

This was playing hard to get!

He wanted Jing Yan to understand that it was Jing Yan who needed something from him, not the other way around.

He intended to dominate the upcoming negotiation!

Long Chenyu had already learned that Jing Yan wanted this plot of land to construct a Pill Tower.

The reason for his change of heart was precisely because he got wind of this news.

How profitable was a Pill Tower?

Thinking about it made Long Chenyu’s heart flutter!

Compared to a Pill Tower that occupied a thousand square meters, transferring the weapon shop for 130,000 Spirit Stones was a simple matter.

A Pill Tower spanning a thousand square meters, could business possibly be small?

Such an enticing business opportunity—if Long Chenyu didn’t seize the chance to interfere, then he wouldn’t even forgive himself!

Thus, upon learning that Jing Yan wanted to buy his shop to demolish and build a Pill Tower, he immediately discarded the idea of transferring the weapon shop for 130,000 Spirit Stones.

“Haha, Young Master Jing Yan, you’re here!

Greetings, Fourth Elder!” Long Chenyu stepped out from the weapon shop, laughing with eyes narrow, and spoke casually.

Manager Li Er also followed alongside Long Chenyu.

“Manager Long, let’s not beat around the bush.

I want to know, what exactly are you thinking now?” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Chenyu and asked.

“What am I thinking?”

“Young Master Jing Yan, I don’t quite understand what you mean!” Long Chenyu feigned confusion.

“Hehe, Manager Long really has a poor memory!” Jing Yan sneered coldly.

“A month ago, I approached Manager Long, proposing to buy this weapon shop.

Manager Long quoted a price of 130,000 Spirit Stones, and I had no objections.

Do you remember now, Manager Long?”

Jing Yan was fully aware that Long Chenyu was playing dumb.

As Jing Yan spoke, the surrounding martial artists all inhaled sharply.

They hadn’t known about the previous encounter between Jing Yan and Long Chenyu, nor were they aware that Jing Yan had agreed to purchase the weapon shop for 130,000 Spirit Stones.

Among the martial artists, although many lacked experience and had lower strength, there were also quite a few knowledgeable ones.

They were well aware that Long Chenyu’s weapon shop was not worth so much.

Even a value of 100,000 Spirit Stones was a far reach for Long Chenyu’s shop.

If Jing Yan really purchased the weapon shop for 130,000 Spirit Stones, it could definitely be described as an astronomical price.

This indicated that the Jing family, Jing Yan, wasn’t about to forcefully purchase Long Chenyu’s shop; instead, an agreement, at least a verbal one, had already been reached between the two.

It seemed that Long Chenyu had now reneged on the deal.

Paying 130,000 Spirit Stones for his weapon shop, and he still reneged!

Many found this unfathomable.

“So reminded by Young Master Jing Yan, I do recall now that there was indeed such a matter a month ago,” Long Chenyu nodded with a suddenly enlightened expression.

“What does Manager Long mean now?

One hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones are readily available, yet why did you drive out Jing Chenxing whom I had appointed to handle this matter from your weapon shop?” Jing Yan raised his voice slightly.

“Young Master Jing Yan, what you’re saying isn’t quite right!

Yes, we had discussed the matter initially, but I never signed any written agreement with you.

After careful consideration, I still feel that I do not want to sell the weapon shop.

This weapon shop has my significant effort condensed within it; a mere price of one hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones seems too low,” Long Chenyu brazenly stated.

One hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones to purchase his weapon shop, and he still thinks it’s a low price.

Had he been firm from the start and made it clear that he would not sell his weapon shop, Jing Yan might have been displeased, but he wouldn’t have forcibly tried to buy it.

It wouldn’t have been too difficult to just find another plot of land to build the Pill Tower, or even to scale down the size of the pill tower.

However, Long Chenyu had initially agreed but now was reneging.

Was this a mockery of the Jing Family, a mockery of him, Jing Yan?

Did he think the Jing Family was easy to bully?

Jing Yan easy to bully?

The surrounding martial artists initially thought it was the Jing Family leveraging their control of the South District Market to force Long Chenyu to give up his weapon shop.

But now it seemed that the matter was not about the Jing Family being unreasonable, but rather Long Chenyu.

Though there was no written agreement initially, as a martial artist, going back on one’s word was looked down upon by many.

However, it seemed the Jing Family didn’t have a good way to deal with Long Chenyu, who was not just any martial artist.

Long Chenyu himself was a martial artist at the Innate Middle Stage, which was certainly no big deal for the Jing Family.

However, the force behind Long Chenyu could not be ignored by the Jing Family.

Perhaps it was because of the strong backing that Long Chenyu dared reneg like this with the Jing Family.

An ordinary martial artist definitely wouldn’t have the audacity to toy with the Jing Family.

“Manager Long, you mean to say the price is too low?” Jing Yan lifted his brows.

He had previously guessed the reason behind Long Chenyu’s change of mind, and now Long Chenyu’s words confirmed it.

Long Chenyu wanted more.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to transfer the weapon shop; he just wanted to use this opportunity to get more!

“Yes, the price indeed is too low.

This weapon shop is my cherished possession, Young Master Jing Yan.

I could be persuaded to part with it.

But not for just one hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones,” Long Chenyu said with a smug smile on his face.

“So what exactly do you want in terms of Spirit Stones?” Jing Yan asked, suppressing his anger.

“Heh, Young Master Jing Yan, you misunderstand me.

I don’t want Spirit Stones, not a single one,” Long Chenyu said with a chuckle.

“Oh?” Jing Yan was somewhat puzzled.

“What do you mean by this, Manager Long?”

“Young Master Jing Yan, let me be straight with you.

I have only one condition.

I know you plan to use this plot to build a Pill Tower.

My condition is simple: I want a share of the Pill Tower.

I believe this would be beneficial for you too.

It could be a win-win for both parties!” A glint of cunning flashed in Long Chenyu’s eyes.

He wanted a share of the Pill Tower; that was his real motive.

From the moment he knew Jing Yan was building a Pill Tower, he had set this plan in motion.

If Jing Yan did not give him a share, he wouldn’t relinquish the weapon shop.

“So Manager Long, you want a share of the Pill Tower?” Jing Yan looked at Long Chenyu.

“Yes!” Long Chenyu nodded.

“And what share do you want, Manager Long?” Jing Yan almost wanted to laugh.

“I won’t ask for too much, just twenty percent of the Pill Tower.

Of course, I will also need to send someone to supervise its management,” Long Chenyu stated, making it sound as if Jing Yan was getting the better deal.

Twenty percent!

He spoke lightly, asking outright for twenty percent.

The fool, does he realise what twenty percent of the Pill Tower signifies?

A mere weapon shop in exchange for twenty percent of Jing Yan’s Pill Tower.

Has water gotten into his brain?

“Hehehe…” Jing Yan really couldn’t restrain his laughter.

What was this guy thinking?

Did he really think he deserved twenty percent of the Pill Tower?

You must understand, when Jing Yan was building the Pill Tower, even his own Jing Family wasn’t allowed to interfere.

The Pill Tower was wholly Jing Yan’s personal property.

And here was Long Chenyu, demanding twenty percent right off the bat.

This was no longer a major demand; it was pure daydreaming, utterly fantastical!

So, when he heard the share Long Chenyu wanted, Jing Yan really couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

And the fury inside him grew even stronger.

It seems that despite his reputation in Donglin City, many still saw him, Jing Yan, as someone easy to bully.

Long Chenyu was clearly one of them.

Jing Yan, in his heart, quietly contemplated his next move.

“Jing Yan, do you think I asked for too much?”

“Think about it.

My weapon shop occupies roughly two hundred square meters.

The Pill Tower you’re building covers a thousand square meters.

My demand for twenty percent isn’t so unreasonable, is it?

Clearly it’s not excessive!”

“As for my involvement in the management, that’s to your benefit too!

You should know who backs me.

With my involvement, our Pill Tower would gain access to better quality Medicine, and perhaps even some rare Elixirs!

Please consider carefully if my demand is too excessive!” Long Chenyu arrogantly tilted his head as he spoke.

Jing Yan was momentarily stunned by this statement.

The surrounding martial artists widened their eyes, all wearing an expression of being at a loss for words.
