The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 257 Gouging
The sight of the bodies lying on the ground almost made the group of young masters vomit, let alone search them for elixirs.
Besides, even if they did search, they might not find anything. After all, these foreigners didn't believe in Huaxia's elixirs.
They might have simply thrown them away after receiving them.
Just as these young masters were in a dilemma, Chen Xiao leisurely walked over and said casually, "What's wrong? Not enough Qingxin Pills?"
"None of your business!"
Zheng Aoqiu glared at Chen Xiao coldly. He and Chen Xiao were not on good terms, so naturally, he wouldn't give Chen Xiao a pleasant look.
"None of my business?"
Chen Xiao wasn't angry, but instead, had a face full of smiles. He counted the number of people in Zheng Aoqiu's group, "One head, two heads, three heads… eight heads, nine heads…"
"Damn it, what are you counting, kid? Who counts like that? We're people, not livestock!"
Zheng Aoqiu shouted angrily.
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Young Master Zheng, right? It's fate that we meet. There just happen to be nine of you here, and I just happen to have nine Qingxin Pills left in my hand. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"What? You have Qingxin Pills?"
Zheng Aoqiu immediately stretched out his hand, "Quick, give them to me!"
Chen Xiao smiled and pretended to be troubled, saying, "Young Master Zheng, you're making things difficult for me. Qingxin Pills are life-saving treasures in this place. You can't just ask for them, can you?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't say I wanted them for free. I'll buy them with money. Is that okay?"
Zheng Aoqiu said impatiently.
Chen Xiao: "Okay, one million for each pill. There are nine heads in total…"
"What? One million?"
Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, Zheng Aoqiu interrupted him with an exaggerated shout, "Kid, are you trying to scam me? You're selling such a pill for one million? Why don't you just rob me?"
"Since Young Master Zheng thinks it's too expensive, then forget it."
As he spoke, Chen Xiao turned around to leave.
His nonchalant words stimulated Zheng Aoqiu.
"Damn, I think it's too expensive? Kid, it's just one million. My daily allowance is more than one million. Stop talking nonsense, I'll buy them!"
Chen Xiao had taken advantage of the situation and was in a great mood: "Okay, since Young Master Zheng sincerely wants to buy them, then I'll sell them to you. Nine Qingxin Pills make exactly nine million. I'll round it up for you and charge you ten million!"
"Okay, deal!"
Zheng Aoqiu took out his phone to transfer money to Chen Xiao, but then he suddenly realized, "Kid, are you f***ing with me? Who rounds up like that? And you're rounding up by one million? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Chen Xiao immediately pretended to be serious: "Young Master Zheng, you can't say that about yourself. If you keep saying that, I can't sell you these pills. How can you call yourself an idiot?"
Zheng Aoqiu's face was about to turn blue with anger, but seeing that Chen Xiao was about to leave again, he had to compromise and say, "Ten million it is. I don't lack this small amount of money. I'll transfer it to you now!"
After Zheng Aoqiu transferred the money, Chen Xiao gave them the pills.
Chen Xiao was overjoyed to have pulled off this deal.
Although ten million wasn't a large number for him now, he mainly felt great seeing Zheng Aoqiu get the short end of the stick.
Seeing this scene, He Xinyi was speechless.
This man really never played by the rules!
After Chen Xiao received the money, he continued on his way, completely ignoring Zheng Aoqiu's fiery gaze.
"Damn it, one day, I will definitely screw him over!"
Zheng Aoqiu said through gritted teeth.
Ten million was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal!
"Don't worry, Young Master Zheng, this kid won't be smug for long!"
Huang Wenlei looked at a tall mountain in front of him and said gloomily, "When we get to the mountain later, let's find a chance to push him off the mountain. No one will know. In this godforsaken place, no one can investigate us!"
Zheng Aoqiu glanced at the tall mountain in front of him, which was hundreds of feet high and full of cliffs. It was indeed a good place to commit murder.
He nodded in agreement; "Lei Zi, I'll leave this matter to you. After all, you two know each other, so it'll be easier to do."
"Ah? Young Master Zheng, this…"
Huang Wenlei was dumbfounded. He only wanted to be responsible for coming up with bad ideas, but he never thought of being responsible for taking action!
"Okay, stop nagging me. When this matter is done, you'll be my own brother!"
Zheng Aoqiu patted Huang Wenlei on the shoulder and said seriously, then walked forward.
Huang Wenlei stood there dumbfounded, and his passing companions all had gloating expressions on their faces.
"Keep it up, Lei Zi. Being valued by Young Master Zheng will allow the Huang family to take it to the next level!"
"Lei Zi, I'm rooting for you!"
"…"
Looking at the mischievous friends who walked past, Huang Wenlei regretted coming to this island.
At the same time, the vanguard had passed through the swamp and arrived at the mountain pass leading to the high mountain.
However, to their surprise, there were three men standing at the mountain pass: an old man and two young men.
The three men were also quite surprised to see this large group of mercenaries.
The old man was wearing a blue shirt. Although he was old, he was full of energy.
The two young men looked to be about twenty years old, with weapons on their backs, glaring at the group of mercenaries.
When the blue-shirted old man saw them approaching, he immediately shouted, "Who are you? You can't go any further!"
The old man's tone was very firm, and he didn't show the slightest fear despite the mercenaries being large in number.
The mercenaries immediately confronted the three men, aiming their guns at them, but the three men didn't seem afraid at all.
The mercenaries were, after all, paid to do things. When they encountered such trouble, they wouldn't take the initiative to attack. Someone immediately went to ask the captain and the employer, Miss He.
When He Xinyi heard the news, she immediately led the captain and Master Lin to the front of the group as quickly as possible.
Seeing that there was a show to watch, Zheng Aoqiu and the others also quickened their pace.
"Chen Xiao, do we want to go over and watch the fun?"
Gu Zhendong asked.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Yes, I didn't expect someone to have arrived on the island one step ahead of us. Let's observe from the side first."
At this time, He Xinyi had already arrived in front of the old man. The blue-shirted old man knew at a glance that this lady was the leader of this large group.
He immediately shouted coldly at He Xinyi, "Girl, I don't know why you've come, but the front is not a place you can go. Go back quickly!"
He Xinyi had invested a lot of money and gone through all kinds of hardships to get here. How could she go back just because of the old man's words?
She sneered and shouted, "Old man, why won't you let us in? Could it be that this island belongs to your family?"
