"You can also commit suicide."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Caesar sprang up, drawing a short sword and preparing to fight Dian Wei to the death.
Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Lin Zhan quickly grabbed Caesar and said:
"No, no, General Caesar, don't stoop to the level of that brute. You're clearly a cultured person, why bother fighting with that brute?"
As he held on, Lin Shao discovered that even without exerting any force, Caesar wasn't moving forward at all.
Dian Wei, noticing the situation, said to Lin Zhan:
"My Lord, don't hold him back. Just let him go, and see if this old fellow dares to touch me. If I don't beat the crap out of him, then he must have a clean bowel movement."
Lin Zhan looked at the old man who was all talk and no action, and then let go, sitting aside to watch the show.
He cast a contemptuous glance at Caesar, as if saying, "If you're not convinced, come at me. I definitely won't stop you."
Caesar glanced at Dian Wei, then changed the subject and said to Lin Zhan: "Kid, aren't you curious why I'm here?"
Lin Zhan pouted and said, "Do whatever you want. Anyway, don't expect me to pay you back, and don't expect to borrow money from me."
Hearing this, Caesar felt his vision go black:
"Can you still be considered human? Our Caesar family's little princess, my most beloved granddaughter, you had her for two months for free, and now you're playing me like this?"
"Holy crap, my Lord is getting it for free!" Even the burly Dian Wei was shocked into using foul language by Caesar's words.
Hearing Caesar's roar, Lin Shao immediately panicked. He quickly peeked out the door and found that only Lin Yi and Lin Er were guarding outside. Zhang Lingxi wasn't home, which relieved him.
He then glared angrily at Caesar, wishing he could kill the old man right then and there.
Caesar smiled, looking at the grinning Lin Zhan, and said nonchalantly:
"Kid, I like how you can't stand me but can't do anything about it."
"Heh heh, officially, half of our Caesar family's sons died fighting for humanity, a great contribution to mankind."
"Privately, you extorted your first military funds from me. Although you helped me advance to King, you can't have my granddaughter for free."
"My Lord, this indeed cannot be for free. Why don't we pay? You can't learn from that Cao Aman kid," General Dian said naively.
This time, karma was indeed a bitch, and Lin Shao's vision went black again.
"Old man, I'll tell you one more time. Your so-called little granddaughter has been here for two months, eating and living well. I haven't touched her at all. You old bastard, don't try to frame me."
Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Caesar said with a relaxed expression: "Who would believe that?"
As soon as Caesar finished speaking, not only Lin Zhan, but also Lin Yi and Lin Er standing guard outside, and Dian Wei, all looked at Lin Zhan in bewilderment.
"Yes, my Lord, with your reputation, even a fool wouldn't believe you," Dian Wei said naively again.
"Yes, young master. Old Ancestor Dian speaks the truth. Why don't we just pay?"
Lin Yi and Lin Er, possibly infected by Dian Wei, immediately agreed.
Hearing this, Lin Zhan looked at Lin Yi and Lin Er and asked with suspicion, "Is my reputation that bad?"
Lin Yi and Lin Er nodded and said, "Young master, be more confident, and remove the 'is' from that question."
"Hahaha, kid, are you convinced now? If you're still not convinced, I'll get a rope, write 'grievance' on it, and hang myself at the entrance of your Great Shang. I don't believe the ancestors of Great Shang won't intervene."
Lin Zhan looked at Caesar dumbfounded, thinking when did this old turtle become even more shameless than himself.
If he had known he was like this, he wouldn't have provoked him no matter how poor he was back then.
"This is a sin! Old man, just tell me what you want. As long as it doesn't violate any regulations, I'll help you."
Caesar pouted and said, "Damn it, what you do ever complies with regulations?"
"I don't have too many demands. Send me a few experts to guard the place, find an excuse to get rid of that Emperor-level old bastard from the Angel race, and then let our two young ones come to China for further studies, and return after reaching King level. Finally, marry my granddaughter. If she can't be the main wife, a concubine will do too."
Before Lin Zhan could speak, Dian Wei chuckled and said, "Holy crap, my Lord, this old bastard understands the rules of our China quite well, he even knows about main wives and concubines."
Lin Zhan said weakly to Caesar:
"Old man, you're truly something. Since I started in this business, you're the first person who can get money back from me. I'm convinced, I'm truly, wholeheartedly convinced."
"Marrying your granddaughter is definitely not an option. I'll compensate you with some weapons and equipment, and have the two old ancestors, Xuanhui and Xuanhao, lead 10 King-level old ancestors on a trip."
Caesar nodded, smiling broadly:
"If you had said this earlier, wouldn't I have agreed immediately? You don't need to give too much in terms of weapons and equipment. We don't have as many people as those dark-skinned fellows. Just give me platinum-grade equipment for one legion and gold-grade equipment for two legions."
As soon as Caesar finished speaking, Lin Shao's vision didn't just go black, his heart was bleeding:
"You old fellow, that's enough! You dare to ask for a million sets of platinum-grade equipment? Does your entire Rome even have that many platinum-grade experts?"
"At most, I'll give you 500,000 sets of platinum-grade equipment and 2 million sets of gold-grade equipment, a total of 2.5 million sets of weapons and equipment, plus matching individual first-aid kits. Not a cent more. If you keep bothering me, I'll kill you directly."
Caesar shook his head and said dismissively:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand it is. Originally, I would have been satisfied if you gave me 200,000 sets of platinum-grade equipment, but I didn't expect any unexpected gains. When did you become so generous?"
Lin Zhan looked at Caesar's smug expression and took out a Black Bird jade charm from his embrace, infusing it with his aura.
After a short while, Xuan Shang, with his three brothers, broke through the void and appeared.
"What's wrong, Zhan'er? Why is your face so red?"
Lin Zhan looked at the four Xuan Shang brothers and said, "Four old ancestors, I've made a losing deal today, and I'm about to lose my underpants."
Then Lin Zhan looked at Xuanhui and Xuanhao and said, "Two old ancestors, take 10 King-level old ancestors and go to the Roman Special Zone. Otherwise, this old turtle is going to hang himself at the entrance of our Great Shang."
Xuanhui looked at Caesar and said, "Go then. Many people have hanged themselves at the entrance of our Great Shang, so what's one more? Besides, what right does he have?"
Caesar said proudly, "Just because he had my granddaughter for free."
Xuan Shang...
Xuan Qing...
Xuan Hui...
