Chapter 185 Unequal Treaties
There are a total of twenty-one Ma family disciples in the manor, all of whom are cultivators. This is the entire strength of the Ma family, and now all of them have had their cultivation crippled by Zhuo Yang, including Ma Jian'an.
The wails continued to rise and fall, making Xiao Rou, who was standing nearby, feel a little sorry for them, and she turned her head away.
However, thinking of the dangers tonight, her face turned cold again. Following Zhuo Yang's habit, she let out a heavy snort, releasing the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage, and the wailing stopped immediately.
"Master, they are very bad, why don't we just kill them all!" Xiao Rou pouted, her face full of fierce killing intent.
"No, no, please don't!" Ma Jian'an cried out in pain. "Zhuo Yang, you have already destroyed the cultivation of everyone in the Ma family. The Ma family will withdraw from the cultivation world from now on, and the children in the family will be forbidden from cultivating. We will also compensate you for your losses. Is that alright?"
Looking at the burning villa, Zhuo Yang suddenly smiled and said, "It's good that it burned down. There are many people in the family, and the original villa was too small. We should build a bigger villa, one that is worthy of a Nascent Soul stage expert!"
“Yes, yes!” Ma Jian’an quickly agreed, “Mr. Zhuo’s cultivation level is the highest in Lingzhou, so he should live in the best house in the whole Lingzhou, a big and luxurious one!”
"I don't want to pay for it myself," Zhuo Yang said calmly.
"The Ma family should pay for this!" Ma Jian'an forced a few laughs, raised his arm, and spread his five fingers. "The Ma family will contribute 500 million to build a large villa for Mr. Zhuo!"
"The garden also needs a good renovation!" Zhuo Yang smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Rou. "Xiao Rou likes flowers, so the garden must be very large and filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants."
Xiao Rou lowered her head shyly, feeling a little flustered under Zhuo Yang's gaze.
She knew that Zhuo Yang was using her cultivation level to scare Ma Jian'an, but even knowing that, she still felt that Zhuo Yang's gaze was very aggressive, making even his Nascent Soul stage cultivation level somewhat unbearable.
"One hundred million to build a grand garden!" Ma Jian'an said in a trembling voice, his heart shaking.
Six hundred million!
"I don't have a car yet," Zhuo Yang said casually.
"Uh..." Ma Jian'an cursed the robbers in his heart, but the situation was beyond his control. If he wanted all the men in his family to survive, he would have to bleed a lot of money today.
"One hundred million, and the Ma family will contribute another one hundred million to buy Mr. Zhuo a car!"
"Very good." Zhuo Yang nodded in approval.
Ma Jian'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seven hundred million was a sum the Ma family could afford, though it was painful.
"The parking lot needs to be bigger. I want to learn from those rich people and collect more luxury cars, so it needs to be an underground garage, the kind with constant temperature and humidity." Zhuo Yang looked at Ma Jian'an, his eyes still cold.
Ma Jian'an almost spat out blood on the spot, but forced a smile and said, "No problem, the Ma family should pay for this, ten...ten million!"
I don't dare to shout "one hundred million" anymore; shouting it once feels like a knife being stabbed into my heart.
"Ten million? You think you can give a beggar a penny?" Zhuo Yang snorted, his figure flashed, and he stepped on the chest of a Ma family disciple. With a little force, a crisp cracking sound was heard.
Ma Jia'an immediately roared, "One hundred million! The Ma family will contribute one hundred million to build an underground parking lot for Mr. Zhuo!"
The person who got stepped on was Ma Jian'an's youngest brother, Ma Jiangang. This guy was really unlucky; he kept trying to dodge, but Zhuo Yang had his eye on him.
Zhuo Yang nodded and said, "That's right, it's much better to be straightforward!"
Ma Jian'an's face was twitching. Eight hundred million yuan had already been spent, and the Ma family's wealth had been completely depleted. If they continued, they would have to sell off their assets.
Zhuo Yang glanced around the manor, where fallen trees were everywhere, and his brows furrowed immediately: "I prefer more trees, but unfortunately the forests on the mountain have been severely damaged and need to be restored!"
"puff……"
Ma Jian'an coughed up blood; he really couldn't hold it in anymore.
How much does it cost to prune a forest on a mountain?
The tombstone hill covers a large area. The Penglai Pavilion residential complex only occupies the area below the halfway point, and that's just the southern side. The rest of the area is wooded, and the total area is at least 20,000 square meters...
"One hundred million yuan, for Mr. Zhuo to renovate the mountain forest!"
After Ma Jian'an finished speaking, he almost spat out another mouthful of blood. Taking out 800 million yuan at once would be a huge blow to the Ma family.
Zhuo Yang nodded indifferently, and then said, "My family is large, and there are even more women. Everyone's jewelry and other things are destroyed. It's a huge loss!"
"..."
Ma Jian'an's face turned pale, and he cursed inwardly: "You have three women in your family, how much jewelry could you possibly lose? This is blatant robbery!"
With a murderous glint in his eyes, Zhuo Yang fixed his gaze on Ma Jian'an and sneered, "Does the Ma family have no intention of paying compensation?"
"We should compensate! The Ma family will contribute another 100 million to buy gifts for Mr. Zhuo's family!" Ma Jian'an steeled his resolve and nodded forcefully. At worst, they'd have to sell some of their fixed assets; as long as the Ma family members were alive, they could earn the money back!
"That adds up to nine hundred million, doesn't it? The Ma family is really rich!" Zhuo Yang chuckled lightly, his expression full of disdain.
Ma Jian'an gave a bitter laugh: "Compared to Mr. Zhuo's losses, this amount of money is not enough to compensate him!"
"Good, well said!" Zhuo Yang stretched out his hands and gave him two thumbs up. "Then I'll settle the score!"
"My parents, the steward, and the servants were all frightened; this should be considered as compensation for emotional distress!"
"My pet got injured, so I have to pay for its medical expenses."
"If the house burns down, it will pollute the air, and the Ma family might be fined!"
“The Dongfang family are my friends. Dongfang Jiye and his daughter were also frightened and should also be compensated for their emotional distress.”
"My two disciples were also injured, and it took me four Cold Spring Pills to save them. That's the biggest part!"
"besides……"
Zhuo Yang frowned and slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot, I was injured and frightened. The Ma family has to compensate me for medical expenses and emotional distress!"
The shouts echoed through the manor, and the flames burning on the villas dimmed slightly. The Ma family disciples stared wide-eyed at Zhuo Yang.
After all that, how much money do you actually want?
Ma Jian'an wanted to slap himself. He had such a foul mouth! Why was he being so polite to Zhuo Yang, that robber?!
"Fine, I'll just give you a total: 2.1 billion!" Zhuo Yang laughed dismissively.
"Alright, Ma family, here's 2.1 billion. One hundred million for each Ma family disciple, just to buy his life!" Ma Jian'an neither cried nor laughed, but his face was as pale as paper.
With 2.1 billion, Zhuo Yang was essentially going to bankrupt the Ma family, leaving them with no chance of revenge!
Ma Jian'an had thought it through, but there was nothing he could do. He was at the mercy of others, and it was fortunate that the Ma family members were still alive.
"Very well, you can leave now. Cash on delivery, release him in return!" Zhuo Yang smiled faintly and casually tossed over a small bottle containing two Cold Spirit Pills. While they wouldn't be able to fully heal his injuries, they would be enough to restore some of Ma Jian'an's strength.
Ma Jia'an let out a few more bitter laughs, swallowed the Cold Spirit Pill, and quickly left the manor.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so foolish as to become a pawn for the Wang family!
