Upon seeing the corpses sprawled on the ground, the group of pampered young masters nearly vomited, let alone searching them for elixirs.
Moreover, even if they searched, they might not find anything. After all, these foreigners didn't believe in Chinese elixirs.
Perhaps they would be casually discarded after being handed out.
As these young masters found themselves in a dilemma, Chen Xiao sauntered over leisurely and said faintly, "What, are the Qingxin Pills running out?"
"What business is it of yours!"
Zheng Aoqiu shot Chen Xiao a cold glance. Since he and Chen Xiao were at odds, he naturally wouldn't show Chen Xiao any pleasantries.
"What business is it of mine?"
Instead of getting angry, Chen Xiao beamed with a smile. He counted the heads of Zheng Aoqiu and the others, "One head, two heads, three heads... eight heads, nine heads..."
"Damn it, what are you counting, kid? Who counts like that? We are humans, not livestock!"
Zheng Aoqiu yelled in anger.
Chen Xiao chuckled, "Young Master Zheng, right? I must say, we really have fate. You have exactly nine heads here, no, nine people, and I happen to have nine Qingxin Pills left. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"What? You have Qingxin Pills?"
Zheng Aoqiu immediately extended his hand, "Quick, give them to me!"
Chen Xiao chuckled and feigned difficulty, "Young Master Zheng, you're putting me in a tough spot. Qingxin Pills are life-saving treasures in this place. You just want them?"
"Stop the nonsense. I didn't say I wanted them for free. I'll buy them, is that acceptable!"
Zheng Aoqiu said impatiently.
Chen Xiao: "Alright, one million per pill. You have a total of nine heads..."
"What? One million?"
Before Chen Xiao could finish, he was interrupted by Zheng Aoqiu's exaggerated cry, "Kid, are you ripping me off? You're selling one pill for a million? Why don't you just rob a bank?"
"Since Young Master Zheng finds it too expensive, then forget it."
As he spoke, Chen Xiao turned to leave.
His casually spoken words, however, greatly provoked Zheng Aoqiu.
"Damn it, I find it expensive? Kid, it's just a million. My daily allowance is more than a million. Stop the nonsense, I'll buy them!"
Chen Xiao felt great after extorting them. "Alright, since Young Master Zheng sincerely wants to buy, I'll sell them to you. Nine Qingxin Pills for nine million. I'll round it up for you and charge you ten million!"
"Deal, it's a deal!"
Zheng Aoqiu took out his phone to transfer the money to Chen Xiao. At this moment, he suddenly realized, "Kid, are you f***ing playing me? Who rounds up when they're giving a discount? And you're rounding up by a million, do you take me for a fool?"
Chen Xiao immediately put on a serious expression, "Young Master Zheng, you shouldn't talk about yourself like that. If you say that again, I won't sell you the pills. How can you call yourself a fool?"
Zheng Aoqiu's face turned blue with anger, but seeing Chen Xiao about to leave again, he had to compromise and said, "Ten million it is, ten million. I'm not short of a few bucks. I'll transfer it to you now!"
After Zheng Aoqiu transferred the money, Chen Xiao gave them the pills.
Chen Xiao was overjoyed after extorting this sum.
Although ten million wasn't a huge amount for him now, seeing Zheng Aoqiu embarrassed made him feel very satisfied.
Witnessing this scene, He Xinyi beside him was speechless.
This man really never played by the rules!
After receiving the money, Chen Xiao continued on his way, completely ignoring Zheng Aoqiu's furious gaze.
"Damn it, one day, I will definitely skin him alive!"
Zheng Aoqiu gritted his teeth and said.
Ten million was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal!
"Don't worry, Young Master Zheng. This kid won't be able to show off for much longer!"
Huang Wenlei said faintly, looking at a tall mountain ahead. "When we get to the mountain later, we'll find an opportunity to push him off the summit. It'll be untraceable, and in this godforsaken place, no one will hold us accountable!"
Zheng Aoqiu glanced at the mountain before them. It was hundreds of feet high, with sheer cliffs and precipices, indeed a good place for murder and robbery.
He nodded in agreement. "Leizi, leave this to you. After all, you two know each other, so it'll be easier to act."
"Ah? Young Master Zheng, this..."
Huang Wenlei was stunned. He only wanted to be responsible for coming up with bad ideas, but he never intended to be responsible for the action!
"Alright, stop dawdling. Once this is done, you'll be my own brother!"
Zheng Aoqiu patted Huang Wenlei's shoulder and said earnestly, then walked forward.
Huang Wenlei stood frozen in place, while his passing companions wore expressions of schadenfreude.
"Go for it, Leizi. Being valued by Young Master Zheng means the Huang family can reach new heights!"
"Leizi, I believe in you!"
"..."
Looking at his malicious friends walking past, Huang Wenlei greatly regretted coming to this island.
At the same time, the vanguard had passed the swamp and reached the mountain pass leading to the high mountain.
However, to their surprise, a group of three men, one old and two young, were standing at the mountain pass.
These three men were also quite surprised to see the large number of mercenaries.
The elder was dressed in a blue robe. Although he was very old, he was full of vigor.
The two youths looked no older than twenty, with weapons strapped to their backs, glaring at the mercenaries.
As the blue-robed elder saw them approaching, he immediately rebuked, "Who are you people? You cannot go any further!"
The elder's tone was very stern, showing no fear despite the mercenaries' overwhelming numbers.
The mercenaries immediately confronted the three men, their guns aimed at them, but the three seemed unfazed.
After all, the mercenaries were paid to do a job. Facing such trouble, they wouldn't take the initiative. Someone immediately went to report to the captain and the employer, Miss He.
Upon hearing the news, He Xinyi immediately rushed to the front of the team with the captain and Master Lin.
Seeing that there was excitement to be had, Zheng Aoqiu and the others also quickened their pace.
"Chen Xiao, should we go and watch the fun?"
Gu Zhendong asked.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "Hmm, I didn't expect someone to have landed on the island before us. Let's observe from the side first."
At this moment, He Xinyi had already reached the elder. The blue-robed elder immediately recognized that this young lady was the leader of this large contingent.
He immediately shouted coldly at He Xinyi, "Girl, I don't know why you're here, but the place ahead is not somewhere you can go. Hurry back!"
He Xinyi had invested heavily and gone through great hardship to reach this point. How could she turn back just because of an old man's words?
She sneered and shouted, "Old man, on what grounds are you preventing us from entering? Is this island yours?"
