959 Letting You Off Easy

Chapter 957 - Letting You Off Easy

"No wonder… No wonder!" Yao Wang sighed to the skies—he'd almost grab his heart in sorrow if it weren't for that stupid forest of needles! He spoke sadly. "No wonder my predictions failed—Ma Zhu was suffering so badly. Of course you'd be hurt! So you can heal yourself…"

"It's not too late to realize that though." Lin Yi said.

"But… You can help me repair my nerves?" Yao Wang looked at Lin Yi with hope.

"Sure!" Lin Yi nodded.

"Ah?" Yao Wang paused, almost breaking into tears and kneeling for Lin Yi. Could he really repair his nerves?

"But my fees are a little more expensive than a useless doctor's like you, of course." Lin Yi said. "Hundred million per nerve. Practitioners have a total of fifteen primary nerves, so you just have to give me one billion and five hundred million. The other secondary nerves I'll heal as a complimentary service!"

Yao Wang rolled his eyes, almost passing out. One hundred million per nerve? He might as well steal from him!

"Don't complain about the price! Do you know how many treasures I'd need to fix just one nerve? I probably need my own master to come out to perform this feat, what about his travel fees?" Lin Yi started bullshitting.

"..." Yao Wang stayed silent, his face in despair.

Lin Yi shrugged and left him alone. He turned to Zhao Qibin. "Zhao Qibin, seems like you still haven't given up yet, after two skyscrapers? Do you still not know that some people you just shouldn't piss off?"

"I… I, Lin Yi Boss, Ha… I was just… House Yu, House Xiao, too—it's them, my brain didn't know what it was thinking when I saw them like that! I actually really am scared to the death of you!" Qibin's face turned fresh that instant. There was nothing a man like him wouldn't do, so he quickly threw all the responsibility onto House Yu and House Xiao! He didn't believe that Lin Yi would do anything to them!

Lin Yi might not know how strong the hidden houses are, but the noble houses of the common world—he must know about those, about how powerful they were! House Yu was also backed by a hidden house, too, and even though House Xiao wasn't as strong as before, Qibin really didn't believe Lin Yi would do anything to them!

After all, even if Lin Yi did do something, the other noble houses wouldn't just sit idly by—who knew who Lin Yi's next target was?

"Yu Bide's dead, and Uncle Pi, too." Lin Yi said dully.

"Wha-?!" Qibin almost fell on his ass! What was this situation, was Lin Yi brave enough to even kill someone from House Yu? From what Qibin could see, Lin Yi would at most do something to House Xiao, that was the limits of his arrogance. But House Yu? Lin Yi dared to kill someone from even House Yu, that was too much!

This person...he didn't follow logic when he played his cards and did everything as if he owned the city! Was he not worried that people would come to him for revenge… Although, this time around, after he pretended to have lost his strength, many people did go to him seeking revenge… Except Lin Yi reversed it back on them…

"But all of you are still healthy and well, so I've come." Lin Yi said, and Qibin couldn't see if that was a smile on his face.

"Boss Lin Yi, I… I think we have some sort of misunderstanding between us…" Qibin's legs were wobbling as he uttered the words, the smile on his face very much forced. "Look, I don't know what came over me. If it wasn't for everyone else, I wouldn't have dared cause you trouble… Please, think about it…"

"Don't worry first, I always give my targets two choices before killing them." Lin Yi waved his hand to shut him up. "I gave both House Yu and House Xiao two demands before doing the deed, but they didn't accept, I had no choice…"

"I accept, I accept!" Qibin nodded quickly.

"I want double of what your demands were." Lin Yi said dully.

"My demands…" Qibin's face changed, and he smiled bitterly. "I asked Pengzhan Industries for its real estate company, but I don't have two… If I did I wouldn't be asking people for it…"

"Then you'll have to die." Lin Yi said. "But you guys are a little different from House Yu and House Xiao. You guys wanted to poison us using Yao Wang, right?"

"Nonono, no, I wouldn't dare!" Qibin quickly said.

"Lin Yi, it's true, Master Bin really didn't have that intention. I only said so fearing that Chu Pengzhan wouldn't answer the demands." Cihua gritted his teeth as he stood out, taking the burden for Qibin. Qibin wasn't even there that day, so he had to accept the responsibility and transfer Lin Yi's wrath to him.

"Oh, it's you? You're the one who said you'll poison Uncle Chu's entire family?" Lin Yi said, looking at Cihua.

"Yes!" Cihua nodded.

"Alright, I'll kill your entire family then. Of course, this includes Zhao Qibin." Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

"Huh?" Cihua paused. "But, this has nothing to do with Master Bin…"

"Oh, just like how Yao Yao had nothing to do with it when you wanted to kill Uncle Chu's family?" Lin Yi said.

"..." Cihua didn't know what to say. Had his sacrifice been pointless?

"Boss Lin Yi, I don't have a real estate company, but is money alright?" Qibin was currently very afraid that Lin Yi would kill him—he definitely could and would, now that Bide and Uncle Pi were dead!

"Oh, that works." Lin Yi smiled. "Whatever, I'll let you off easier. Two hundred million, I guess."

"Ah? Two hundred million…" Qibin's face went bitter. "I only have one hundred fifty million…"

It was the money he'd just gotten from Zhen Yingjun and An Jianwen, and it'd just been a couple of days before he had to hand it out…

"Fifty million difference, huh? Okay, if you break your own legs then I'll count that as the fifty." Lin Yi said.

"I…" Qibin hesitated. Breaking his legs right after he healed—that would hurt too much… Yet the thought that the action would save him fifty million as well as his life, he decided it was quite worth it! He just had to sit in the wheelchair a little more, that was fine! He gritted his teeth. "Alright, I understand! Cihua, bring over a metal bat for Boss Lin Yi, for him to break my legs!"

"...Yes!" Cihua was about to say something, but remembering Lin Yi's personality made him stop. He shook his head and went for the bat.

It wasn't soon before he returned, only for Lin Yi to wave him away. "Do it yourself."
