Chapter 49: Extortion
Translator: Novel_Saga Editor: Novel_Saga
When he heard Tang Yuan’s words, Qin Hu felt as though his soul had left his body and cold sweat began to trickle down his back.
Oh my God! This situation was just akin to bumping into a ghost in the middle of the night. It is obvious that Tang Yuan is randomly throwing out an accusation but somehow it had hit the bullseye. What an extremely messed up son of a bitch! If my son somehow lets out anything he should not…There were way too many intelligent and capable people in the Tang Family!
Jun Mo Xie was grinning sinisterly as he sat on the side. Jun Mo Xie saw Qin Hu’s face turning pale, his eyes roaming evasively, Jun Mo Xie felt surprised.
Those words from Fatty Tang were spoken just to increase his own reputation and benefits. Why was Qin Hu panicking so much over just a few words? It didn’t make any sense. Even though the Northern City Clan was presently the weakest amongst the Six Great Clans, Qin Hu was still a Clan Leader. Surely he had no need to be so fearful. In fact, depending on how Qin Hu dealt with this situation, he could actually use this opportunity to form relations with the Tang Family, turning this situation into one with great benefits. And yet, his current expression was one filled with guilt… why so?
Wait! Guilt?!
Thinking about that, Jun Mo Xie’s gaze towards Qin Hu changed, having a greater understanding, his thoughts clicking into place.
“This lowly one’s son was being rude; it is only fitting that he be disciplined. But, may I request the permission to first bring him back to treat his wounds before sending him to Eldest Young Master’s residence for disciplinary action? Naturally, since this lowly one’s son had caused Eldest Young Master a fright, I will definitely compensate you to your satisfaction!”
Even though he had been rendered fearful after what happened last time, as a Clan Leader with years of experience, Qin Hu was able to immediately recover. He proposed a compromising stance with a smile on his face.
Tang Yuan gave out a ‘hm’ and said.
“I would like to see just how you Northern City Clan can manage to compensate me!”
This sentence of his signified that he no longer wished to pursue this matter as now that Fatty Tang has managed to keep his reputation intact, all he wanted was to gain benefits! As an experienced man, Qin Hu naturally understood Tang Yuan’s intentions and replied in a grateful voice.
“I thank the great Eldest Young Master for your mercy! I will certainly visit to thank Eldest Young Master for your great kindness!”
Tang Yuan gave a light sound of agreement and turned towards Jun Mo Xie.
“Although I no longer have a problem with you, your son had earlier cursed Third Young Master Jun here. Now it is up to Third Young Master Jun to decide your son’s punishment, if he is willing to let it go, then you are free to go.”
“Third Young Master Jun?!”
Qin Hu immediately understood who the person was. In the entire city, the infamous Jun Mo Xie was the only one whom Tang Yuan would address as “Third Young Master Jun”!
Not only did his son offend the Eldest Young Master Tang, he also cursed the even more terrifying Third Young Master Jun! At this moment, Qin Hu was almost overwhelmed with an impulse to strangle his own son.
If QIn Xiao Bao was not his only son, he would have long been strangled to death.
Jun Mo Xie looked at Qin Hu, a flash appeared in his eyes before fading away, quickly deciding on what to do. Qin Hu and his son Qin Xiao Bao were both rude, overbearing and arrogant in protecting their own self-interest.
Jun Mo Xie could only imagine how many sins these two have committed! Today, if Qin Xiao Bao had not met Jun Mo Xie and Tang Yuan and had instead met an ordinary person, would that person still be alive?
Facing scums of society, such as Qin Hu and Qin Xiao Bao, letting them live would cause Jun Mo Xie extreme discomfort!
The survival of the Northern City Clan would also bring about discomfort!
Jun Mo Xie’s killing intent had been ignited! However, he also had some scruples, mainly because of his sensitive feeling that in this restaurant, it seems that some people are spying on himself and observing his every move.
He leaned back lazily in the chair and lifted both his legs by habit. He pointed at Qin Hu’s head with his finger.
“Qin Hu, after hearing your words earlier, I had originally decided to teach you a lesson! But after seeing that you still have some respect left, I have decided to forget about it. But, I heard that your Northern City Clan had opened no small amount of casinos. I also hear that your clan has been rolling in mountains of gold and silver every day. Haha… you have been flourishing lately huh.”
With a single stare and two cold sneers, Jun Mo Xie continued.
“Qin Hu, this Young Master will wait to see how you settle your affairs. If you dare make me dissatisfied, this Young Master can assure you that no one in your Northern City Clan would live to see the sun tomorrow!” Having said that, Jun Mo Xie bent his body. He approached Qin Hu’s ears and gave a strange smile. “However, if you can properly satisfy me, then it may be possible for you to enjoy certain benefits as well… Hahaha”
You might as well just tell us to cough out as much money as we can! Is it that interesting to beat around the bush in such a manner?
Qin Hu cursed in his heart but was unable to do anything as the opposing side’s influence was stronger than his. As a Clan Leader, he had to endure being abused by a young teenager. It was extremely shameful! However, Qin Hu dared not show the slightest hint of displeasure. Something like exterminating the Northern City Clan would be cakewalk for Jun Mo Xie…
Accompanied by a smile on his face, Qin Hu swore to make Jun Mo Xie satisfied, and finally being waved away by Jun Mo Xie, picked up his son and walked away.
“Pui! What a mood breaker!”
Tang Yuan fiercely spat out as he watched Qin Hu’s leaving back.
“Third Young Master, the Gifted Scholar’s Feast will be held tomorrow evening in the central Island of Moondrop Lake. Are you going? I heard that there will be a lot of new stuff!”
Traditionally, Tianxiang Kingdom will hold the Gifted Scholar’s Feast during the annual Autumn Festival and an evening in the center Island of Moondrop Lake. The Emperor would take this opportunity to have his ministers gather ten gifted scholars from the Wenxing Institute of Knowledge.
These ten individuals were in fact, the few handsome talents that were about to graduate and serve the royal court. Using this feast, they would be able to accurately judge each and every one of their talent, before giving the right position for each of them. As such, this Gifted Scholar’s Autumn Festival Feast was a place for them to directly step onto the right platform.
A mere ten places were certainly not enough for the thousands of scholars. This situation would cause an intense competition to arise among the scholars of Wenxing Institute of Knowledge. This situation would also become the main focus of the masses. Even the great families would assign some men to attempt to approach these men into serving their family.
In addition, these gifted scholars were mostly bachelors with a very promising future. Thus, some young ladies from various noble families would desire to select their future husbands from amongst them. Naturally, many others would choose to join in as well.
With so many ladies from the noble families there, it was only natural for the debauchees like Tang Yuan and Jun Mo Xie to appear. In order to garner the attention of the beauties, they would end up competing with the gifted scholars in a battle of wit.
However, each of these competitions would end with the debauchee side losing miserably. Such was the case each year. However currently, Tang Yuan still had a look of excitement present on his whole body, he obviously felt that this was an important matter. It could not even be said that if they could aspire to win, but rather that it wasn’t that optimistic.
“Gifted Scholar’s Feast? Eldest Young Master Tang, just look at the two of us. Do we look like… gifted scholars?” Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes. “It would be more accurate to call us rapeseeds.”
In his heart, Jun Mo Xie had to restrain himself from saying.
With my delicate features, it may not be too farfetched to be labeled a gifted scholar. But you my dear brother, even calling you a rapeseed is inappropriate. For you, it would be more fitting to call you a fat seed!
“Nonsense! What gifted scholars? They are just a bunch of pedantic men bent on making a profit. Do you remember that Zhao Cheng Song who caused me to lose face in front of Miss Li in last year’s Gifted Scholar’s Autumn Festival Feast?
He was that one person who kept throwing various insults around. I immediately arranged for him to be employed by our Tang Family. All I needed to do was promise him a high position and big salary for him to run over. Do you know which department he is in now?” Tang Yuan said in a triumphant manner.
