Chapter 739: Su Yang Plans to Sell the Building! Ask Liao Yuankai for Help…

If someone had called her foolish to her face at any other time, she would have sworn vengeance against them.

But now, when Liu Mengyun called her foolish, Xi Yao was overjoyed and deeply moved!

Xi Yao confirmed again: "Did the city lord really say that?"

"Yes, he said it with his own mouth!"

Liu Mengyun could lie as well as Su Yang.

She just didn't have Su Yang's flashy moves!

She didn't have Su Yang's black heart.

"That's great! I won't go to prison!"

Xi Yao burst into tears of joy.

Fan Rufeng and Bai Cang, upon hearing Liu Mengyun's words, all sighed in relief.

Since Su Yang didn't believe Xi Yao was the killer, their own responsibility had been greatly reduced.

Fan Rufeng sighed: "I told you, City Lord Su isn't the kind of person who acts irrationally—City Lord Su is wise!"

Liu Mengyun gave Fan Rufeng a strange look.

Was he flatteringly kissing Su Yang's ass?

Liu Mengyun continued: "The city lord also said that one matter is one matter, and he's assigned me to negotiate with you—the compensation for the slain soldiers must be paid by your Zhenbaoge Society!"

Old Fan immediately replied cheerfully: "Mengyun, rest assured—this is our Zhenbaoge Society's fault for poor discipline, and we will take full responsibility!"

Without Xi Yao's incident, they would have haggled fiercely with Su Yang.

They would have demanded the return of Zhenbaoge's goods from Mount Dajiao—but now, they were too ashamed to argue over these details!

Soon, the four of them finalized the compensation agreement in a restaurant in Mount Dajiao.

The compensation for each soldier killed by Mount Dajiao's hunting team members was set at ten times the military's standard pension amount.

If a fallen beast-tamer's pension totaled ten million federal credits, then Zhenbaoge Society had to pay one hundred million!

Returning to Su Yang's office, facing the hatred-filled stares of Mount Dajiao's city guard.

The entire High-ranking military command of Mount Dajiao was present.

When the compensation contract for hundreds of millions of federal credits was placed before Old Fan, his hand trembled as he reached for his pen!

Su Yang took the contract and nodded in satisfaction.

Xi Yao said: "Within one month, our Zhenbaoge Society will deliver the compensation to City Lord Su."

"Good! We've reached a settlement on this matter!" Su Yang said softly. "I'll have Deputy Officer Liu go to the prison and release Liao Yuankai and the others."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xi Yao said respectfully.

Old Fan and Bai Cang both stared at Xi Yao in surprise.

Xi Yao was being unusually polite to someone!

"After you return, you must strengthen discipline and education among all Zhenbaoge Society hunting team members!" Su Yang said sternly. "Don't let them think that having power means they can act recklessly and look down on the military!"

"City Lord Su, rest assured—I'll tell my grandfather!"

Xi Yao had no intention of refusing Su Yang's demand.

"I need a guarantee!"

Su Yang said sharply.

"I guarantee it!"

Xi Yao quickly said.

Old Fan added: "City Lord Su, rest assured—we will carry this out. Our Zhenbaoge Society will strictly discipline our hunting team members. If they act recklessly, we will show no mercy!"

"Good. You may leave."

Su Yang was fairly satisfied with their response.

But Old Fan and the others did not leave.

Su Yang asked curiously: "Do you have something else?"

Old Fan asked quietly: "City Lord Su, could our Zhenbaoge Society reopen in Mount Dajiao?"

At this moment, Old Fan had forgotten he was a King-level powerhouse!

Standing before Su Yang, he dared not even breathe loudly.

The three from Zhenbaoge Society were completely under Su Yang's control!

Mount Dajiao was one of the few coastal cities in the southeast, rich in precious and diverse resources.

As the largest commercial organization in the southeast, they could not abandon such a vital city.

"Reopen the Zhenbaoge Society?"

Su Yang's face gave nothing away; Zhenbaoge's people couldn't read his expression.

"Yes!"

"Just don't evade taxes!"

"Thank you, City Lord Su!"

"Go wait in the lobby first. Deputy Officer Liu, draft the release order for Liao Yuankai and the others—I'll have you personally escort them."

"Yes!"

After the three from Zhenbaoge Society left, Tong Junhao asked: "My lord, are we really going to make peace with Zhenbaoge Society?"

"If not peace, should we fight?" Deputy City Lord Feng Yuanjie said. "Zhenbaoge Society is too powerful—if we truly fight, the entire southeast will descend into chaos. Besides, whether we fight or not isn't up to City Lord Su alone!"

"I think City Lord Su's handling of this is perfect. Since fighting isn't possible anyway, it's better to secure real benefits."

Feng Yuanjie looked eagerly at the contract in Su Yang's hands and said: "My lord, while inspecting the underground bunkers recently, I noticed some have fallen into serious disrepair…"

"This compensation fund must be distributed in batches to the families of the fallen soldiers. If the underground air-raid shelter really needs repairs and really needs money, last time I gave you so many things we looted from the Treasure Pavilion — once you sell them, even after compensating those civilians for their housing, the remaining money should be more than enough, right?"

Feng Yuanjie said sheepishly, "City Lord, there are too many things — they're hard to sell!"

Su Yang considered for a moment: "First use other funds for the repairs. Isn't the Treasure Pavilion planning to reopen? Once they reopen, just sell to them in batches. They're the foremost merchant guild of the southeast — they can definitely handle it!"
