Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Specially Added Golden Juice for You
"Iâll go first!" Jiang Tianyi said. Wincing at the loss, he transferred 30,000,000 to Chen Xiao. Though his family was wealthy, 30,000,000 was no small sum. Most importantly, he felt utterly humiliated. He, the proud second young master of the Jiang Family, was being extorted by a mere nobody like Chen Xiao. If word of this got out, heâd be the laughingstock of his entire social circle.
After a momentâs hesitation, Xiao Han and Qin Zihao also shamelessly stepped forward to transfer the money. Thirty million, not a penny less. The loss stung them even more acutely. Even with some family capital, they couldnât afford to squander money like this. After all, 30,000,000 in cash was a huge sum for them.
Meanwhile, Su Yingxue stood frozen, completely at a loss. The Su Family was merely a second-tier family in Yuncheng City. As one of the women of the family, she had no access to its core power and couldnât possibly produce 30,000,000 in cash.
Her voice turned pleading. "Chen Xiao, please, just give me the antidote. Iâll agree to anything you want... including me." Her tone was imploring, and with eyes full of practiced charm, she looked like a dog begging for scraps.
"Youâre filthy," Chen Xiao said with a frown, his mockery merciless.
Su Yingxueâs expression froze.
Just then, a disheveled Luo Linlin returned. "I... I only managed to gather 25,000,000... I really canât get 30,000,000. Can you make an exception?" This sum had been scraped together by borrowing from everyone she knew, using every excuse she could think of. Xiao Han had already cut her off completely, so he was no help. It would take her years to pay this back. But for the sake of her face, she had gritted her teeth and taken on the debt.
Chen Xiao glanced at Luo Qingli.
Luo Qingli said flatly, "She really is broke. That 25,000,000 is probably all borrowed."
The words werenât particularly damaging, but the humiliation was immense. Normally, a comment like this would have made Luo Linlin tremble with rage, but right now, it sounded like heavenly music. She shot Luo Qingli a grateful look.
Chen Xiao nodded reluctantly. "Fine. Out of the kindness of my heart, Iâll give you a discount."
Seeing an opening, Su Yingxue quickly piped up, "I can get 20,000,000! Can you give me the antidote?"
"For you? Not a penny less," Chen Xiao said coldly. He then took out several small bottles and tossed them to the others. "Here are the antidotes. But Iâm warning you, each bottle is a single dose. If you waste it and it doesnât work, donât come crying to me."
The group caught the vials as if they were priceless treasures, handling them with extreme care. They were terrified of dropping them. After all, these were thirty-million-dollar antidotes; theyâd die of heartache if one smashed on the floor.
Those with the antidote eagerly began applying it to their faces. The substance was thick, yellowish-brown, and gave off a foul odor that made them hold their breath, nearly gagging on the smell alone.
"What is this stuff? It stinks to high heaven!"
"Yeah, but as foul as it smells, it actually feels great once itâs on. The itching is finally stopping!"
A look of profound relief washed over their faces, like a man finally cured of constipation.
Su Yingxueâs expression was uglier than if sheâd eaten shit. The other four had their antidotes, while she had nothing. The feeling was unbearable. Gritting her teeth, she also ran out to make calls, swallowing her pride to beg and borrow until she, too, had 25,000,000. Finally, after her desperate pleading, Chen Xiao tossed her the antidote.
In exchange for just five small vials of antidote, he had instantly acquired 140,000,000. This terrifying money-making ability made Luo Qingli and Xu Yanran click their tongues in awe.
Thatâs more terrifying than robbing a bank!
Having obtained her antidote, Su Yingxue eagerly applied it to her face.
Jiang Tianyi, feeling much better, asked cautiously, "Big Brother Chen, what kind of medicine is this? Itâs incredible!"
He wanted to pry some information from Chen Xiao. After all, Chen Xiaoâs formulas were all heaven-defying. Perhaps this was another business opportunity?
Chen Xiao replied nonchalantly, "Itâs just a few common herbs soaked in Golden Juice."
Xiao Yi looked dumbfounded. "Whatâs Golden Juice?"
Qin Zihaoâs face turned ashen. "Golden Juice... is human shit..."
At this revelation, the looks of relief on their faces instantly collapsed.
No wonder the smell was so overwhelming! Did we just spend 30,000,000 to buy a pile of shit?
The thought alone nearly drove them insane.
Chen Xiao offered a reassuring smile. "Donât worry, my products are quality-guaranteed. I donât use expired goods. This Golden Juice is fresh, produced just last night." He paused, then added, "Actually... the Golden Juice isnât a necessary ingredient. I just felt the herbs alone were too plain and not worth the price. So, consider the Golden Juice a special little bonus, from me to you."
The room plunged into a dead silence. Jiang Tianyi and the others trembled with fury.
Who the fuck asked for your special bonus?!
Luo Qingli, however, let out a snort of laughter.
Vicious! Absolutely vicious! Chen Xiao is clearly aiming to destroy them completely, killing them and crushing their spirits! Isnât he just rubbing it in their faces that he added the extra ingredient on purpose?
Luo Linlin was the first to break. The vile stench rising from her own face made her stomach churn, and she bolted outside, vomiting violently. The others glared at Chen Xiao, their eyes filled with a murderous rage that promised death by a thousand cuts. But what could they do? Chen Xiao was brutally strong; they were no match for him. In the end, all they could do was swallow their fury.
Jiang Tianyi snorted coldly and stormed out, the others trailing grimly behind him.
Chen Xiao called after them with a gloating smile, "Remember to apply the antidote on time! Otherwise, once the Golden Juice expires, its efficacy will be greatly reduced!"
His words sent a shudder through them.
Jiang Tianyi shot a cold glare over his shoulder. "Chen Xiao, this isnât over between us!"
After spitting out the threat, he quickened his pace, half-afraid Chen Xiao would charge over and slap him a few more times.
This time, however, Chen Xiao couldnât be bothered with them, simply letting them disappear from sight.
Meanwhile, Xu Yanran, who had watched the entire drama unfold, finally snapped back to reality. Her delicate body trembled as she began to tiptoe upstairs, hoping to escape back to her room...
But just then, Chen Xiaoâs voice stopped her. "Miss Xu, where do you think youâre running?"
Xu Yanran froze, turning back with an awkward expression. "Is... is there something you need?"
"Have you already forgotten?" Chen Xiao looked at her with a smirk. "We have a bet to settle."
That look sent a chill down her spine.
Luo Qingli and Li Biyun both looked at Xu Yanran with pity. They knew exactly how devious Chen Xiao could be.
Now sheâs really in for it...
Chen Xiao casually propped his feet up on the table. "The bet was, if you lose, you wash my feet for a month," he said lightly. "Shall we start now?"
