Chapter 961 — Even More Ruthless Than You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"My master is an Earth-rank expert. But according to the regulations of the Arbitration Association of the Hidden Families, Earth-rank experts may not appear at will in the secular world unless there is an unavoidable reason. He has already applied to the Arbitration Council..." Ma Zhu said, frowning.
Ma Zhu knew his own affairs best. He knew that the rules of the hidden families applied only to those hidden families; to the great sects they were useless. Before those top-tier ancient sects, these hidden families amounted to little at all!
The hidden families simply could not control them—they did not even have the qualifications to know about the affairs of those ancient sects!
But Ma Zhu's sect was very small, no more than a newly established one, and such petty sects were naturally bound by the Arbitration Association of the Hidden Families.
"I see..." Zhen Dazhou nodded. "Then what do we do now?"
"My master said we should endure in hiding for a time, and once he arrives, everything will be easy!" Ma Zhu said.
Ma Zhu's words had barely fallen when a knock came at the door of the room!
"Who is it?" Zhen Dazhou asked instinctively.
"Wei Zhao," Wei Zhao said mildly. He had learned from Zhao Qibing which hotel room the Zhen father and son were staying in.
"Wei Zhao!" Zhen Dazhou was thrown into a great fright and nearly collapsed to the floor. He looked at Ma Zhu in terror. "Master Ma, what do we do?"
"Did I not tell you to endure in hiding for a time? Once my master arrives, dealing with him will be easy and pleasant enough!" Ma Zhu frowned with some impatience. He hated Wei Zhao bitterly as well, but he knew that with his present strength there was no possible way he could do anything to Wei Zhao.
"Oh..." Zhen Dazhou walked over warily and opened the door of the room, saying with forced composure, "Wei Zhao, what are you doing here? We're already even, aren't we? Master Ma was beaten half to death by you, and my son was crippled. What more do you want?"
"Oh, last time's business is settled. But what I've come for this time is a new matter, and it has nothing to do with last time." Wei Zhao smiled, speaking very mildly.
"A new matter? What do you mean?" Zhen Dazhou was stunned.
"Last time you extorted me. This time it's my turn to extort you!" Wei Zhao said.
"Extort me?" Zhen Dazhou's expression changed.
"Five hundred million. I'm generally fond of paying things back double, and you extorted two hundred fifty million from me, so five hundred million isn't too much to ask, is it?" Wei Zhao smiled at Zhen Dazhou, his smile looking quite harmless. "If you don't pay, I'll go kidnap your son, then head to Donghai and smash up all your holdings. I'm best at tearing down houses and toppling buildings—I've already brought down two of Zhao Qibing's towers. Doesn't that sound like fun?"
Zhen Dazhou's expression turned even uglier! Wei Zhao was threatening him—a bare-faced threat! Wei Zhao was even more ruthless than he was. At least he had only demanded ransom from Gu Pengzhan after kidnapping Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu; Wei Zhao hadn't even kidnapped anyone yet, and already he was demanding five hundred million, threatening that he would only go kidnap his son if the money wasn't paid!
