Chapter 763: If I cooperate with you again, my surname won't be Xu!

~8 min read 1,418 words

"Nowadays, there are indeed many people willing to issue missions to bounty hunters, but she can't bring herself to raise prices, so it's basically still living beyond her means. We subordinates have no way."

The corners of Xu Tian's mouth twitched: "So you are specifically cheating acquaintances?"

"How could that be? You are Miss Yun's friend, how would I dare to raise prices on the spot? I'm only collecting cost expenses." The tall, thin man said with a sheepish smile. "It's just that I calculated it a bit more carefully, but the actual total bill isn't that much."

Xu Tian: "Heh..."

I'd be a ghost if I believed you.

The crowd around saw Xu Tian chatting with his subordinates so nonchalantly and were all shocked.

This is the Thorn Emperor's territory, and the Wolf King actually ordered his subordinates to hurt people on the spot, and the ones hurt were the Zheng family members who had a close relationship with the Emperor. Should this be called his youth and fearlessness, or is he too stupid to recognize his situation and position?

"Wolf King, you are really too much!" The Zheng family's high-level members immediately walked over, pointing their fingers and accusing him with a dark face. "This is the Thorn Emperor's territory, how can you be presumptuous?"

"You are simply bullying people too much!" Zheng Jing also said indignantly. "Regarding that matter with Zheng Jingjing before, our Zheng family originally intended to let it go and not haggle with a wild boor like you, but didn't expect you to think our Zheng family is easy to bully..."

Xu Tian's face sank slightly. It seemed that the Zheng family was relying on Thorn's territory and would not let it go.

"So many people, we really made a profit this time." The tall, thin man stared at the high-level members of the Zheng family, a flash of calculation in his eyes. "Brother Yi, it's still the old rule, buy three get one free, tsk tsk... But there is one odd number left at the end... How about letting them send two more people to make it an even number?"

The Zheng family head, who was treated as an odd number, was so angry that his face turned iron-blue, and the high-level members of the Zheng family beside him were also blowing their beards and staring.

"Bullying people too much! Really bullying people too much!"

"Your Canglang Hall is indeed a mob, with no rules at all!"

"You got one thing right." Xu Tian looked at the group of old men throwing a tantrum lightly. "Our Canglang Hall has never followed rules, because I... am the rule!"

"Good, good, good! You are arrogant enough!" A certain high-level member laughed out of anger. "I want to see how you can be arrogant on the Emperor's territory!"

"This time the Wolf King

is really going to be unlucky..." The onlookers gloated. "It is said that the old family head of the Zheng family and the Thorn Emperor had a good relationship, and Zheng Jing is even very likely to marry the Emperor. Now the Wolf King actually dares to disrespect the Emperor's future in-laws. Isn't this clearly courting death?"

The high-level members of the Zheng family were also glaring at Xu Tian with anger.

Bold fanatic, actually bargaining with servants in front of them, what do they take the Zheng family for? "Take action, I want him dead!" A certain elder of the Zheng family was burning with anger and immediately ordered the elites under his command.

"Heh, if you have the ability, then take action? Whoever doesn't take action is a turtle and a bastard!" Zhong Yu stood by Xu Tian's side and made a face at the elder.

And just when the Zheng family elites were planning to take action, Zheng Jing suddenly made a gesture to stop them.

"Everyone, calm down."

The Zheng family members were very surprised by Zheng Jing's behavior. The Wolf King had provoked them to their faces, and they still had to endure it? If this spread out, where would the Zheng family's face go?

"Today is the day my fiancée, the Thorn Emperor, holds a grand event. We guests, taking action on the Emperor's territory, is not reasonable.

Since the Wolf King is a person invited by my fiancée, it should be handled by her, the host, personally. We'd better not overstep our authority."

Zheng Jing said unhurriedly.

The Zheng family members heard this and felt that Zheng Jing made sense. They were too impulsive just now and almost broke the rules.

On the Thorn Emperor's territory, naturally, everything is up to her.

If they started fighting with Ding Yi, it would instead make outsiders criticize the Zheng family for not taking the Emperor seriously, and it would also make Zheng Jing's situation awkward.

Now Zheng Jing and the Thorn Emperor's marriage was basically a sure thing, but after all, the two hadn't officially gotten engaged, so the Zheng family didn't want to cause extra trouble.

"Fine, Xiao Jing thinks comprehensively. Let's let this ignorant little brat go for now!"

That elder snorted coldly and signaled for the elites under his command to return to the team.

Zheng Jing's performance could be said to be flawless, and the onlookers around cast admiring gazes at him one after another.

Worthy of being the future successor of the Zheng family, advancing and retreating with measure, and knowing how to take the overall situation into account. The Thorn Emperor choosing him as her marriage partner is simply a strong alliance.

"Rest assured, the Emperor is what kind of person, how could she allow the Wolf King to be so presumptuous?" A certain high-level member of the Zheng family said. "Let's just wait and see how he dies today!"

Everyone agreed deeply.

Not to mention the grievances between the Thorn Emperor and the Wolf King, today, when all major forces gathered, the Wolf King actually dared to provoke the Emperor's future in-laws in public. This is definitely courting death.

The passersby around were also in a state of watching a good show, all feeling that today the Wolf King would definitely bleed on the spot.

Xu Tian was a bit speechless.

He clearly didn't say anything, and didn't do anything.

But all the courting-death behaviors of the Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group had to be paid for by him, and afterward, he had to pay them.

Of course, the premise was that he could leave here alive today.

If he had known that the style of Yun Shuying's subordinates was as unreliable as she was, he might as well have brought Shenlong and Qingxue to support the scene.

At least those two would be willing to do things for him for a meal of pork ribs.

Xu Tian didn't intend to take action at all this time, just wanted to threaten the Thorn Emperor verbally, so that the Wuji Martial Arts Association would know he had expressed his position. Who could have thought it would evolve to the point of provoking the Zheng family in public.

"Brother Yi, what are you hesitating for? Hiring us is absolutely cost-effective. Except for the family head and that little white face Zheng Jing, I'll charge the starting price for the others. Those two have higher strength, so I have to add money, and it can't be counted in the buy three get one free."

Xu Tian:...

"I think you'd better not take action." Xu Tian tried his best to maintain a light expression on the surface. "Let me ask you, are you good at escaping?"

"Hmm... that's no problem, but the price is more expensive than killing people. After all, this is a technical job. Let me see..." The tall, thin man glanced at Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu beside Xu Tian. "For the three of you, the starting price is 50,000. I can guarantee you won't die, but if you don't want to get hurt, you have to add another 10,000 per person."

Xu Tian:...

Yun Shuying, if I cooperate with you again, my surname won't be Xu!

"Distinguished guests!" Just then, a short old woman walked out of the main house. "I am the Thorn Emperor's housekeeper. The Emperor will be here shortly, so please wait patiently." ===== CHAPTER 764 =====

"Distinguished guests!" Just then, a short, elderly woman walked out from the main residence. "I am the Thorn Emperor's butler. The Emperor will arrive shortly; please wait patiently."
