Chapter 178

"Willing to see me?"

"It really was because of that person named Zhao Xing!"

The stone in Mo Ercha's heart finally fell.

Without news, he couldn't be sure if the outcome was good or bad.

Now that there was news, it was better than anything.

"Has the intelligence gathering on Zhao Xing been completed?"

"Lord Mo Ercha, it has been collected."

"That Zhao Xing should have broken into the top 10,000 of the Primordial Realm point rankings."

"Because in the first batch of names already announced, there is no one matching the conditions of Zhao Xing from the Jiangnan District of Blue Star."

"Judging by Prince Yun's attitude, Zhao Xing likely first befriended his senior brother Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie, and then Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie persuaded Prince Yun."

"Based on data analysis, he should be near the threshold of 1,000th place, which is why he is valued, but the probability of breaking into the top 1,000 should be very small."

"In Blue Star's nearly 100-year history, no one has broken into the top 1,000."

His subordinates reported.

"So that's it." Mo Ercha breathed a sigh of relief.

In negotiations, one must be clear about the other party's background.

The stronger the opponent, the more he would naturally have to concede on compensation.

But since the opponent was only within the top 10,000 and not exceeding 1,000, in Mo Ercha's eyes, it was still within a range where he could bargain.

After all, he himself was a Star Rank Lord, and he wasn't entirely without backing.

"But being in the top 1,000 is indeed very promising." Mo Ercha felt reassured and breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

At dusk, in a luxurious reception hall in the center of Daxia Prefecture.

Zhao Xing, Fang Qingxue, and Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie's group were there.

"Uncle Mo, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Pang..."

Zhao Xing called out.

In the reception hall were five Star Rank Lords of Blue Star!

Among them, Mo Feng, a Star Rank Lord, was also Mo Luo's father! He was also one of the eighteen planetary governors.

'Pang Long' and Zhao Chun were the fathers of Zhao Li and Pang Yun.

Chen Wenshan, the father of Chen Qingqing, and Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie were fully qualified to invite these people to help.

"Little Xing, we already know about the matter," Pang Long said in a gruff voice. "Don't worry, no matter how arrogant Mo Ercha is, he is only a Star Rank Lord; he won't dare to bully you."

"Correct." Mo Feng also nodded to show his stance.

There are no airtight walls on Blue Star; Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie had leaked a bit of information that this was Prince Yun's intention.

These Star Rank Lords had all come to hold the line.

A moment later.

Mo Ercha appeared in the reception hall with his people.

His gaze first swept over Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie and the other Star Rank Lords.

Then he fixed his gaze on Fang Qingxue, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

Finally, it landed on Zhao Xing, who was next to Fang Qingxue.

"Mo Luo, Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie, Pang Yun, and all the Lords of Blue Star," Mo Ercha said, wearing a hypocritical smile.

"I, Mo Ercha, made a mistake and accidentally crossed the line."

"Now that you are all here as witnesses, I am willing to offer an apology and compensation to the Fang family."

Fang Qingxue didn't say a word, and the eyes of the crowd didn't fall on her either.

Instead, they gathered on Zhao Xing.

As one of the eighteen governors, Mo Feng was the strongest present and the most senior in terms of status.

So he spoke up: "Mo Ercha, stop being hypocritical."

"If you want to apologize and compensate, show some sincerity. Don't just rely on your mouth; state the amount of compensation directly."

"Yes, yes, I am willing to compensate." Mo Ercha had to lower his head. He looked at Zhao Xing next to Fang Qingxue.

"This little brother must be Zhao Xing, right?"

"This is the valuation of the Fang family's property." Mo Ercha listed a manifest.

"This is my list of compensation."

"It is equivalent to 10 times all of the Fang family's assets, as a token of my sincere apology."

Mo Ercha looked at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing also looked at these lists.

As one of the top 200 families on Blue Star, the Fang family's wealth, including all fixed and liquid assets, was roughly around 5 trillion star coins.

This amount wasn't exaggerated; after all, it was a family that had been operating for quite a few years.

Of course, there were also quite a few debts, as well as expenses for family members, and so on.

5 trillion was considered net assets.

It wasn't particularly much.

After all, the Fang family was only the 200th-ranked family on Blue Star.

The points Zhao Xing earned in the Primordial Realm could be converted to star coins at a 10-fold rate.

In the Primordial Realm, he had earned nearly 700 billion star coins.

Of course, that was just an estimate.

In cash, excluding the 100 billion he had previously transferred to help the Fang family, Zhao Xing only had 100 billion star coins on hand.

Of course, some fixed assets would have more subsequent income, such as the troops cultivated by the Lords, etc., which couldn't be calculated.

But Zhao Xing just took one look, sneered, and stood up.

"Lord Mo Ercha, are you bullying me because I'm young and don't understand the ropes?"

"You want to offer compensation to make amends? Fine, then don't calculate it based on the Fang family's total assets!"

"It must be calculated based on your total assets!"

Zhao Xing stared at Mo Ercha. This guy, even now, still wanted to play games?

If he followed his compensation plan, even if he compensated 10 times the Fang family's total assets, for Mo Ercha, it would only be a loss of less than 20% of his wealth.

After all, Mo Ercha was a Lord of Bata Star; although it wasn't as prosperous as Blue Star, the entire habitable planet was his.

Mo Ercha also had many hidden assets and mineral planets.

In terms of wealth, Mo Ercha, who worked for councilors, could definitely be considered "upper-middle" among Star Rank Lords.

"Calculate based on my total assets?" Mo Ercha's expression changed slightly, but he maintained his smile. "Fine, little brother, this is the valuation of my total assets."

Mo Ercha drew out a list.

"I am willing to compensate with half of it."

This was much more than the compensation offered before.

But Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie on the side was dissatisfied: "Mo Ercha, are you not going to shed tears until you see the coffin?"

"My junior brother has already spoken to this extent, and you still dare to hide things?"

"You don't know how to calculate, right? Fine! I'll calculate it for you."

Lieutenant Helian Lie Lie threw out Mo Ercha's real wealth manifest.

Mo Ercha's smile faded; this list was already very close to his total asset figure.

However, he still suppressed his anger and said: "Fine, my subordinates calculated it wrong, then we will compensate with 50%."

··· 0 Seeking flowers··· ·

"Fifty percent?" Zhao Xing said indifferently: "Lord Mo Ercha,"

"If it weren't for my senior brother and the others protecting us in time, your people, disguised as space pirates, would have already been stained with blood debts."

"When you were bullying us, you didn't say you only wanted 50% of the Fang family's wealth."

"I, Zhao Xing, don't look for trouble, but I must pay back exactly how others have bullied those around me!"

"At that time, you wanted to forcibly seize 90% of the Fang family's wealth!"

"Now, you must also take out 90% of your wealth! Only then can this matter be settled!"

Mo Ercha's expression changed, and those present, such as Lord Mo Feng, Lord Pang Long, and Envoy Chen Wenshan, were also shocked.
