"What did you say?"
Su Han was stunned for a moment. He looked at the woman in front of him, who seemed as if she had been injected with chicken blood. If she weren't encased in ice, Su Han estimated she would have jumped out immediately.
"You mean, in just ten years, you can become a powerhouse comparable to the Sacred Altar?" Baili Qin Yin couldn't believe it. She considered herself a once-in-a-millennium super genius, yet even at her peak, she was only barely one of the Six Great Protectors.
With such strength, although she could look down on everyone in the outside world!
Within the Sacred Altar, however, it was still not enough. Yet now, this unknown young man in front of her actually dared to say that he could destroy the Sacred Altar in less than ten years!
What immense shock this was!
Su Han laughed heartily and said calmly, "That's right. If the Baili family is willing to pay a higher price, I don't mind compressing this process even further. The prerequisite is that I need abundant resources and a powerful force as a guarantee!"
Indeed, what Su Han said was not false!
His soul extraction alone, a single talent skill, was enough to accomplish such a feat. However, this was not even his complete form. The Great Emperor's inheritance was not just talk. Currently, there were still many areas in the Great Emperor's inheritance that had not been completed.
Once the Great Emperor's inheritance was fully inherited, Su Han guessed that he might become much stronger than he was now!
"This..."
Ahead, the woman in the ice block was already somewhat dazed. She stared fixedly at Su Han, unable to believe all of this, especially the malevolent aura emanating from this young man.
"How can I believe you!"
Baili Qin Yin questioned him. For her, entrusting the fate of her family to a young man still made her uneasy. What if Su Han took advantage of the situation and annexed the Baili family? Then all her efforts would have been in vain.
However, Su Han didn't say much at this moment. He left this question for Baili Qin Yin to ponder, while he himself slowly walked out of the bone-chilling ice cellar.
"I apologize, Miss Baili. It's too cold here. I'll go out for a while. Take your time to think. Come find me when you have a result. The conditions are very simple, just as I mentioned. If you're willing, have someone inform me. See you!"
With that, Su Han left without looking back.
Watching Su Han's retreating figure, Baili Qin Yin suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart, as if the hard-won opportunity for revenge was about to slip away.
"Damn guy, seventy percent of the Baili family's profits... Hmm, this is really a difficult decision!"
...
He arrived in the courtyard.
Su Han decided to wander around the backyard and have some tea. After all, outside, there were patrols everywhere trying to catch him. If he showed himself, he would also be pursued by bounty hunters. In short, it was very unsafe outside.
But the City Lord's Mansion was very safe!
It had pavilions and towers, and the accommodation was also very luxurious. What satisfied Su Han the most was that the maids here all seemed to be carefully selected. Not only were they beautiful, but they were also very well-behaved.
As expected!
As soon as he sat down in a pavilion, a maid immediately brought him tea and pastries, and another maid asked if he needed a massage.
This kind of service, Su Han had only seen in high-end clubs on Blue Star before. In the Spirit Realm, where the service industry was generally poor, it was exceptional.
"Hey, Mr. Su, you have such refined taste. How is it, did my sister agree?"
Just as he took a sip of water, Su Han saw Baili Han Bing hurrying over from not far away. He seemed to have received some news and was holding a stack of files.
"Still considering..."
"What! Mr. Su is so talented, and my sister still needs to consider? She's really... It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Su, don't worry, just have some tea here!"
Baili Han Bing said, placing a file on the table and introducing it: "If Mr. Su isn't in a hurry, you can take a look at this. This is a summary of the current accounts of our Spirit Realm City. Just take a look and see if it tempts you. To be honest, I'm physically and mentally exhausted right now. The negotiation representatives from the Sacred Altar are about to arrive, and we're truly out of options!"
Su Han picked up the accounts and scanned them. With his excellent math skills, he instantly understood the meaning of these numbers.
It could be seen that the Baili family's assets were not many, but their speed of making money was truly fast. However, the profit item, which was originally very considerable, had now been siphoned off by more than half.
"Seventy percent! Seventy percent... Even with this, those guys are still not satisfied and want more. I heard they've issued a strict order this time, wanting ninety percent. Alas, Mr. Su, tell me, what's the point of me being the City Lord?"
Speaking of this, Baili Han Bing sighed. The City Lord appeared very glamorous to outsiders, but only he knew the twists and turns involved. Surviving in the cracks was truly difficult.
Su Han thought for a moment.
He chuckled and said, "Hiss, Brother Baili, have you perhaps not heard of an accounting method called 'fake accounts'? Or perhaps, Brother Baili, you've truly never engaged in cutting corners?"
As soon as he said this, Baili Han Bing stared blankly at Su Han, not understanding what he meant!
Su Han, at this moment, chuckled. From this mere summary of accounts, he had already seen many problems. Among them, there were many places where manipulations could be made!
Strictly speaking, as long as the accounts were handled skillfully, the Baili family could still eke out an existence even if the Sacred Altar demanded ninety percent of the profits.
It just depended on whether they were willing...
"Uh, I mean, if the accountant isn't good enough, let me introduce one to you. Coincidentally, this girl is also my disciple, a super scholar, and a good prospect for martial arts. If she handles the accounts, your Baili family's share can increase by thirty percent!"
As soon as he said this, Baili Han Bing's eyes widened.
An increase of thirty percent in their share meant he wouldn't have to risk his life fighting the Sacred Altar for the time being. There was still a glimmer of hope. This was also Su Han's intention. At this stage, he didn't want the Baili family to clash directly with the Sacred Altar, as those old fellows were not fools.
Once they started, they had to directly eliminate the opponent!
This was also Su Han's consistent way of handling things, and even more so when facing powerful opponents...
"Song Xinran, you should rest. You've been cultivating for over a month. Take a break and clear your mind, otherwise, you might suffer from qi deviation!"
With Su Han's words, he instantly saw a corner within the Thousand Miles River and Mountain Painting flash with brilliant light, and a graceful figure flew out!
