Complete Martial Arts Attributes

“At first I wouldn’t have dared to detain the Third Prince’s subordinate,” Wang Teng replied.

Lu Qing: …

Bulls**t!

You didn’t dare to? You even dared to threaten the Third Prince himself, there’s nothing you didn’t dare to do.

General Cameron took a sip of water and almost spat it out. How shameless.

“However, that Swait was making trouble for the Tiger Strike Force and damaged our reputation. If I didn’t act, our reputation would have been affected. It truly was a last resort move,” said Wang Teng, playing the innocent card while ignoring their expressions.

“…” Lu Qing said, “Commander Wang Teng, just state your conditions.”

Wang Teng said unwillingly, “Baron Lu, you’re wrong. You make me seem like I’m blackmailing you.”

You are the one doing the blackmailing!

Lu Qing took another deep breath and said, “Swait was the one at fault. It isn’t blackmail.”

“That’s great. Baron Lu is understanding indeed. It must be so for the Third Prince as well, being forthcoming and recognizing my difficulties,” Wang Teng said, “Being the case, I won’t ask for anything excessive. Just three to five hundred billion will do.”

“Pfft!” General Cameron really spat the water this time.

This fellow is really daring!

Three to five hundred billion? Isn’t this the same as extortion?

Lu Qing stared at Wang Teng. “Baron Wang Teng, this is too much.”

“No way, this is a very fair price. Didn’t you see the smashed gate? This was all caused by Swait. A few hundred of my martial warriors were wounded and are still recovering. This is compensation for mental damage, damage to our image, plus medical and repair fees. Were it not for considering our esteemed Third Prince, I would have asked for three to five trillion,” Wang Teng exclaimed.

Peggy’s lips trembled.

Is that the reason why he asked us to tear down the gate?

As to those wounded warriors. Weren’t they injured during the previous battle at the thirteenth frontline? In what way is Swait involved in that?

Lu Qing’s face turned dark.

Swait is a real piece of trash. What a failure.

He was only there for a small matter and things escalated to such a degree. He even attacked the Tiger Strike Force. Wasn’t this a slap in their faces?

He was at a complete disadvantage.

The urge to kill someone was rising.

“This is daylight robbery.” Lu Qing wasn’t pleased.

“Nonsense. I have proof. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this.” Wang Teng took out a long list out of nowhere and waved it at Lu Qing.

“Show me.” Lu Qing didn’t believe him and took it to check, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

The losses and compensation costs were clearly specified, but all of it was ridiculously expensive. The damaged gate was made of extremely precious metals and stones, which was almost on par with that of the Great Qian Palace’s gate.

Who would believe such a thing!

However, the gate had been demolished; there was no evidence, and he had no way to examine the original material.

He couldn’t avoid Wang Teng’s abuse.

As for the mental and reputation damages, it was impossible to reach a conclusion.

Lu Qing couldn’t voice out his thoughts, and felt so aggrieved he almost vomited blood. The only thing he could do was to look at General Cameron.

“General Cameron, is this the way the military does things?”

General Cameron cleared his throat. “Cough, I think that this has nothing to do with our ways. It’s each individual to their own.”

Lu Qing: …

F**k, what a bunch of hooligans.

“Baron Lu, have you given it some thought? You can let Swait stay with us for a while. We won’t treat him badly,” Wang Teng offered.

“…There’s no need for that. I’ll pay the money.” Lu Qing gritted his teeth.

The Third Prince’s face would be dragged into the mud if this dragged on.

Those unaware might think that they couldn’t afford the ransom.

“As expected of the Third Prince’s subordinate, truly generous. I thank his highness the Third Prince on behalf of my wounded soldiers,” said Wang Teng with admiration and gratitude.

Lu Qing looked at Wang Teng in silence. He then asked for the latter’s account number and transferred the money.

Three hundred billion Universe coins!

He went for the lowest amount.

Wang Teng had no objections, as it was already an enormous quantity. It wasn’t as simple as asking the fellow to fork out five hundred billion.

Of course, the sum was exorbitant to ordinary martial warriors, while it was peanuts to the Third Prince.

Wang Teng wouldn’t have gone that high if it were someone else.

Wang Teng received the money and instructed happily, “Bring Swait over.”
