Chapter 500: Chapter 261: Unbreakable Good Cards! _1
Gao Hongying found himself in a difficult position.
Gao Wenyuan was secretly delighted to see Gao Hongying’s predicament.
“Uncle, uncle, it’s because of our Gao Family’s marine hunt that has put Lu City into a crisis.”
“Don’t think that just because Fang Mu helped resolve the situation, that nobody will come after you to settle this score.”
“Eventually, if you want to secure your position as the Gao Family Patriarch, it will depend on how you promise and make concessions to the Gao family elders!”
Gao Hongying and the Gao Family had taken him lightly, intending to dispose of him.
This grudge and resentment were deeply etched in Gao Wenyuan’s heart.
Gao Wenyuan didn’t give Gao Hongying much time to struggle, and pressed the matter.
“Dad, Mr. Jianmu is waiting for my reply!”
“I’ve been away from Mr. Jianmu for a long time, he might be upset!”
“If you really want to think about the offer, why not send someone to contact Mr. Jianmu later!”
Gao Wenyuan said these words and looked at Gao Hongying with a calm smile on his face.
At this moment, Gao Wenyuan felt like he was manipulating Gao Hongying.
It was as if their positions had swapped.
Gao Wenyuan, who had always strived to stand out among the side branches from an early age, knew how to present himself well.
The more he created the impression that Fang Mu values him greatly, the more Gao Hongying will inevitably rely on him.
Goaded by Gao Wenyuan, Gao Hongying made a gritted decision.
He had already offered such a precious item to please Fang Mu, there was no reason for him to be at a disadvantage in this transaction.
He simply decided to increase the price proportionally, just as he did with the Zhao Family.
The Zhao Family owned 30% of this Divine Beast, and acquired a full 1.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins from him.
So he would raise the price of this Divine Beast to 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins.
Even if Jianmu thought the price was unreasonable, he could justify it with his deal with the Zhao Family.
“Wen Yuan, go and tell Mr. Jianmu that our Gao Family has paid a heavy price for this Divine Beast.”
“The price we put on this Divine Beast is 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins.”
“If Mr. Jianmu finds this price unreasonable, our Gao Family is willing to negotiate the price again!”
Upon hearing these words, Gao Wenyuan sneered, aware of the implications of Gao Hongying’s words.
Gao Hongying hoped to recuperate losses from Fang Mu through this Divine Beast.
Given the abilities and rarity of this beast, indeed any price doesn’t seem too high.
But a bid of 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins was truly high!
The price was much higher than that of the special snake beast that Fang Mu had brought out.
The previous beast only required 10% of the spiritual power of an ordinary contract, making it a groundbreaking Divine Beast and worth any price.
The bidding stopped at over 3 billion Dragon Rising Coins because of the resources required to nurture a Divine Beast.
More than 3 billion Dragon Rising Coins for a Divine Beast was already the limit.
No matter how special the beast’s abilities were, it shouldn’t exceed this line.
No sooner had he just hooked Jianmu in, than Gao Hongying asked him to help selling this Divine Beast for 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins.
It made Gao Wenyuan feel like Gao Hongying was treating him as a low-grade tool.
As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade.
But now, Gao Hongying was clearly using him haphazardly, squeezing his worth out of him.
Gao Wenyuan put on a show of loyalty to the Gao Family.
“Dad, I will mention this to Mr. Jianmu. I’ll go back right now to deliver this message!”
Returning to Fang Mu, Gao Wenyuan repeated what Gao Honging had said without any analysis or explanation.
Gao Wenyuan couldn’t fathom Fang Mu’s thoughts.
Rather than risk expressing his opinions, he chose to be a good messenger.
Fang Mu narrowed his eyes upon hearing Gao Wenyuan’s account.
Gao Hongying was indeed greedy, intending to exchange the Wave Soul Horned Whale for 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins!
Fang Mu suspected that Gao Hongying’s actions were largely because he had contributed a lot of Grandmaster Creator resources to get various powers to join the defense of Lu City.
Gao Hongying thought he was impulsive and easy to deceive.
Fang Mu decided to satisfy Gao Hongying’s greed.
The greedier Gao Hongying was now, the more resources he would have to pay back when he would want the Wave Soul Horned Whale back from Fang Mu in the future to settle the matter.
Fang Mu pulled out a Dragon Cavalry Black Gold Card and handed it to Gao Wenyuan.
“There’s enough money in this card. Transfer 5.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins to Gao Hongying!”
“And convey a message to Gao Hongying.”
“Tell him that I’m very fond of this whale-type Divine Beast, my master is also quite interested in it. Thank the Gao Family for their gift!”
Hearing Fang Mu’s words, Gao Wenyuan was somewhat unsure about what Fang Mu was trying to do.
But without asking further, Gao Wenyuan left to follow Fang Mu’s instructions.
Gao Hongying had already prepared to negotiate the price with Fang Mu.
If he confirmed Fang Mu was interested in this whale-type Divine Beast, he could reduce the price to 4.5 billion Dragon Rising Coins proactively.
That would also favor Fang Mu.
But he never expected that Fang Mu would directly transfer the money to him.
