530 Challenge
The old hunter was very afraid of the Gao familyâs strength. He helplessly rejected Lu Benweiâs request. Then, he forced a smile. âMiss Gao, five million it is. Iâll sell you the Pure White Snow Lotus.â
Thank you readers!
Gao Yiyu did not say anything and snatched it from the old hunterâs arms.
The old hunter was stunned. He rubbed his hands and said, âThen, Miss Gao, the five million yuanâ¦â
Gao Yiyu raised her chin. âYou, write him an IOU of five million. Tell him to ask my father for it. â
Then, a man in black took out a piece of paper and wrote a line of words on it. The entire process was smooth, and it only took two to three seconds.
No one could see clearly what was written on it. Perhaps it really was an IOU, or perhaps it was a turtle and a b*stard.
However, the old hunter was dumbfounded.
On the note that the burly man threw to him, the scribbled note said, âGao Yiyu owes five million.â
There was no signature or handprint. It could be said to be a piece of wastepaper.
The old hunter pursed his lips tightly. âMiss Gao, you canât do this. As long as thereâs half of it in cash, I want it now!â
He had paid a great price to obtain the Pure White Snow Lotus. The old hunter naturally could not just watch as it was snatched away. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to snatch the snow lotus from Gao Yiyuâs hand.
âSlap!â
A slap landed on the old hunterâs face, sending him flying a few meters away.
âIâve already written the IOU. What else do you want?â
Gao Yiyuâs expression turned serious as she sternly berated.
A few fierce disciples protected Gao Yiyu behind them, their eyes filled with ferocity.
âOld man, let me give you a piece of advice. Take the IOU and get lost.â
The old hunter was trembling with anger. However, when he saw the bodyguards in front of Gao Yiyu, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and speak slowly.
âMiss Gao, you know very well that this kind of IOU will not be recognized in front of Master Gao.â
Gao Yiyu sneered and said, âThatâs his business. Iâve already given you the IOU anyway. You can ask him for it. â
âYou!â
The old hunter was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He hurriedly stood up from the ground.
âMiss Gao, you canât do this⦠At least give me a new IOUâ¦â
One of them was getting impatient from being pushed. He raised his foot and kicked the old hunter in the chest.
âBoom!â
The old hunter was sent flying and coughed up a large mouthful of blood. Some of the blood splattered on the wall of the notaryâs office.
It echoed the words âobjectiveâ, âfairâ, and âjustâ written on the red wooden tablet.
Fortunately, the old hunter had a good physique. This injury was not a big deal to him. He staggered up and ran to Liu Yao.
âYoung Master Liu, Iâll sell the snow lotus to you for ten million, even if itâs not cash. Is that okay?â
âIâm not sure.â Liu Yao sighed. âAre you out of your mind, sir? Didnât you sell it to the Gao familyâs Sister Yiyu?â
Since things had come to this, Liu Yao had no choice. Although he was the son of the richest businessman in Ha City, he seemed to be very glorious on the surface. When he saw the Underground King of Ha City, Gao Shengqiang, behind his back, even his father had to tuck his tail between his legs.
The old hunter looked at Liu Yao in disbelief. He shook his head and ran to the person in charge of the notary office.
âLeader, this trading center is your territory. You have the final say.â
The old hunter placed his hopes on the person in charge.
âDo you think this behavior is reasonable?â
The person in charge had a secretive look on his face as he said repeatedly, âBrother, listen to my advice. Letâs forget about this matter. You also know the consequences of offending the Gao family.â
The old hunter was indignant.
â10 million! Whoever is willing to pay 10 million will have the snow lotus! Eight million! Seven millionâ¦â
The old hunter kept lowering the number, hoping that one of the surrounding spectators would step forward. However, everyone shook their heads at the same time and took two or three steps back. No one was willing to help the old hunter get justice.
âBrother, forget it.â
âIn Ha City, Gao Shengqiang is the local tyrant.â
âNot to mention you, even though weâre very angry. Just now, my stall was robbed by the eldest daughter of the Gao family.â
The old beggar looked at the numb crowd, and his mental state instantly collapsed. With a plop, he knelt helplessly on the ground, tears welling up in his turbid eyes.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke, âOld mister, you said you would sell me the Pure White Snow Lotus for ten million. Is that true?â
Everyone was shocked. Who dared to covet something that the Gao family had taken a fancy to? Thus, everyone looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see who it was.
The owner of the voice was Lu Benwei.
At the same time, the old beggar took off his coat and wiped the blood on the wall. âSuch good words. I canât let them be tarnished.â
âLittle brother,â the old beggar said, wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, âAs long as you can snatch the snow lotus from Gao Yiyuâs hands, it will be yours.â
Lu Benwei nodded and chased after Gao Yiyu.
Liu Yao suddenly became interested in Lu Benwei and chased after him with his followers.
Everyone turned pale with fright. When they saw Lu Benwei chasing after Gao Yiyu and the others, their mouths were wide open.
âNo way, he really wants to challenge the Gao family?â
âEven if this kid isnât from here, he should have heard of the Gao familyâs name, right?â
At this moment, the old beggar walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. âWhat do you mean by challenging the Gao family? Weâve already spoken to the Gao family.â
â¦
âMiss Gao, please wait a moment,â Lu Benwei caught up to Gao Yiyu and called out softly.
Gao Yiyu and her followers stopped and turned around to look at Lu Benwei.
âWho are you?â Gao Yiyu said warily.
The person beside him whispered a few words to him, and Gao Yiyu immediately showed a trace of impatience. âWhy are you looking for me?â
Lu Benwei chuckled and pointed at the snow lotus in Gao Yiyuâs hand. âThat old man just sold it to me. Itâs mine now.â
Finished talking, Lu Benweiâs toes lightly tapped on the ground and suddenly arrived in front of Gao Yiyu. In the blink of an eye, the Pure White Snow Lotus was in Lu Benweiâs hands.
Gao Yiyu and the others were stunned for a moment. Lu Benwei took advantage of this gap and returned to his original spot in the blink of an eye.
âMiss Gao, if youâre willing to pay a high price, Iâll return it to you,â Lu Benwei waved his hand and said.
