Chapter 1010: Chapter 1019: Money Makes Things Easier (Part 1)
Lin Xi didnât say a word and took out food and water from his bag.
But when he handed it to them, he suddenly pulled his hand back, showing a troubled expression on his face.
The next moment, he said, "I donât know how long we will stay here, the food is limited. I thought about it, I canât give it to you."
"Otherwise, what will we do afterwards?"
"What will we eat? What will we drink?"
The four Innate Stage practitioners who had just approached suddenly halted, showing a hint of being toyed with on their faces.
Needless to say, their hearts were burning with anger.
"But if you use money to buy it, I might consider it!" he added.
Everyone was silent, "..."
In their hearts, they couldnât help but think, could you at least stick to your words!
"As for money?"
Everyone was dumbfounded; they suddenly realized that this young man seemed to value money highly.
But as an Innate Stage practitioner, isnât making money supposed to be easy?
At this level, shouldnât one pursue higher realms and not be interested in mundane things?
Could it be that age makes a difference in thoughts, or possibly a peculiar fondness for money?
Just like some people who like inflatable dolls.
Del asked, "How much?"
For them, anything that can be solved with money is not a difficult matter.
"Twenty million, yes, British Pounds, per person!" Lin Xi said, "A bottle of water, a pack of cookies, and a loaf of bread!"
"No bargaining!"
"Otherwise, donât even think of getting anything!"
The four Innate Stage practitioners were speechless, "....."
Dek and the other three Peak Soldier Kings were silent, "..."
Avril was astonished, "...."
Suddenly, they all thought Lin Xi must be crazy, driven mad by a lack of money!
They knew these things wouldnât be worth fifty dollars outside; now they cost twenty million British Pounds. This canât simply be described as extortion.
Itâs outright robbery.
Avrilâs two clan elders instinctively took a step forward. They couldnât stand Lin Xi from the beginning and wanted to teach this young man a lesson, to show him not to disrespect Innate practitioners.
Also, to indicate that this young man has no ties to the Butte Clan.
Compared to the others, even later, they wouldnât tolerate Lin Xi for the Butte Clanâs sake or fear him.
Just before they stepped forward, Del moved a step ahead and replied, "No problem, Young Lin!"
"Ten million is ten million, we have plenty of money!"
Others also agreed immediately.
The two elders felt like they had eaten a pile of dog poop, extremely unhappy.
"You guys....." They snorted coldly, looking at a loss for words.
At this time, they couldnât hold back. The one-armed old man warned Del and the others, "You may spend money, but I must tell you, heâs just Avrilâs friend, has nothing to do with our Butte Clan."
It might seem amicable on the surface, but who knows their real thoughts internally.
These two clans are both exceptionally powerful. In fact, the Dek Clan is slightly stronger than the Butte Clan, especially these past few years.
So if a chance arises to leave, thereâs no guarantee they will fulfill promises made in the Holy Land, and they might even trouble the Butte Clan because of this.
But having heard the one-armed old manâs words, the others werenât surprised; instead, they responded with an âohâ and went quiet.
In their minds, Lin Xi is obviously not part of the Butte Clan.
If he were, wouldnât the Butte Clan be more high-profile?
By now, they would have claimed to be the number one clan.
Or started annexing weaker clans, eventually reaching them.
Yet, you havenât done anything. Also, through Dekâs understanding of Lin Xi, they know heâs not British, but an Eastern warrior.
Therefore, he truly has no ties with the Butte Clan!
Why emphasize it?
Hmm?
No, wait?
Suddenly, they realized a problem; these two donât know Lin Xiâs strength?
Considering this, comparing prior actions and words, they had a sly smile looking at Avrilâs two clan elders.
Of course, they wouldnât proactively tell them about Lin Xiâs skills.
They hoped Lin Xi would make a move.
Then they could have a chance to understand what this young manâs strength is!
Is he at Early Innate Stage?
Or Mid Innate Stage?
Mid-stage is unlikely!
He is too young, also if Mid-stage, wouldnât he disregard that giant bear outside?
But previously, they saw a hint of fear in Lin Xiâs eyes towards the bear.
However, their anticipated conflict didnât happen.
First, although Avril dislikes the two elders, they are the Butte Clanâs strongest.
Second, these two arenât dumb, especially after saying those words, the groupâs attitude towards Lin Xi didnât change.
Avrilâs two clan elders suddenly felt uneasy.
Lin Xi didnât argue with them, directly giving food and water to two Innate practitioners and three embarrassed Peak Soldier Kings.
As for the British Pounds, they could pay after getting out.
In the eyes of others, Lin Xi shows no worry about not leaving or not being paid even if they get out.
Avrilâs two clan elders felt awkward now.
But ultimately, they shamelessly asked Lin Xi for food.
After all, filling the stomach was key; they were old enough to care less about face.
After seven finished eating, Lin Xi asked, "Do you need more treatment?"
"Hmm, the strength can restore over eighty percent within ten minutes!"
The sevenâs eyes brightened; using Spirit Stones for recovery was too slow, taking at least a day to restore over eighty percent.
The efficiency was extremely low.
Previously, they wanted Lin Xi to treat them again.
But they thought a second needle treatment may not be effective.
If the second is as effective, wouldnât that be defying nature?
They didnât realize that the first treatment already defied nature.
"Of course, of course, absolutely, I want it, Young Lin!" Del, despite his age, was excited.
Others agreed promptly.
Although restoring over eighty percent strength doesnât greatly ensure escape from here.
But recovery will make them feel better.
Besides, if thereâs no charge for treatment, they wouldnât hesitate. If they escape, a few million doesnât matter much.
"One billion!" Lin Xi looked at them, saying again, "Per person!"
The water in Avrilâs hand almost slipped, nearly dropping it.
Others were stunned, thinking this young man is truly black-hearted!
