Zhang Deqin came with her people high-spirited, but they returned back disappointed.
They originally thought that Walled Hill Village was already in their grasps. In fact, after Jia Ruidao was invited to the gamble, nobody thought that Zhang Deqin would lose. While others believed that this was almost impossible to have happened, Zhang Deqin herself had absolute confidence.
With public opinion rallied and full support for her, the Union headed by the Zhang Family had the absolute advantage. As for the Long Family, they were covered by countless of dark clouds that would condense and create raindrops of tears.
But Zhang Deqin had never dreamt that she would lose this gamble, and to even lose in such inexplicable way.
“Little Brother Tang, we’re truly grateful. If it was not for having you this time, the Long Family could’ve fallen. Moreover, we would have really fallen into the abyss.” When Zhang Deqin had left with her people, the calm and composed expression on Long Zhengyu’s face disappeared, replaced by excitement and joy. He grabbed Tang Xiu’s palm and shook powerfully.
After having watched such a thrilling and turbulent gambling, Long Zhengyu was suddenly unable to hold his feelings in as his facial muscles twitched and seemed slightly unwell.
.
“Big Brother Long, it’s alright. However, I have to tell you the truth. The reason I came to help is but also for a request.” After thinking for a while, Tang Xiu spoke softly.
“Ah, how much is it worth? Do you know how much value the Walled Hill Village’s development rights are? Do you know how much value the 10% share of Skylane Commercial District is? They are worth billions of yuan. Besides, there are things that even money can’t buy…” When Tang Xiu had just finished speaking, Long Zhengyu shook his head and refuted.
Upon hearing Long Zhengyu’s answer, Tang Xiu was dumbfounded.
If it were not because Long Zhengyu had gone through an advance and retreat battle with Zhang Deqin and finally accomplished the task with ease, Tang Xiu suspected that even if he didn’t open his mouth to state his demand, Long Zhengyu would have revealed everything about Walled Hill Village and the Skylane Commercial District’s values. Wasn’t this the same as inciting him to demand an outrageous price for his service?
Fortunately, Tang Xiu had once lived for 10,000 years in the Immortal World. He had long been trained his mind to stay calm and sober. Thus, even if Long Zhengyu boasted more convincingly about Walled Hill Village and the Skylane Commercial District’s values, he didn’t care about it and had no greedy thought.
“Little Brother Tang, I know I offered 1 million yuan before. It was because I didn’t want to give up hope in recruiting a Gambling Master. Because I knew when Jia Ruidao had promised to help Zhang Deqin, even if I offered higher rewards, there would be none to dare to help me. And truthfully, 1 million is not enough for a gambling expert.”
“Do you know how much Jia Ruidao asked for payment from Zhang Deqin? It was 5 million yuan! Regardless of winning or losing he would be paid 5 million yuan, and there was no room for bargaining. Zhang Deqin this time just suffered a double loss after losing to the enemy, truly miserable.”
