Chapter 2589: Chapter 1: Evil Presence_3
Fortunately, Zhang Linchuan’s head was severed by his own hand, and his collaborator Wang Changji didn’t need a reward. Unfortunately, Zhang Linchuan had as many as six clones...
Though it’s not to say that severing one clone requires paying twenty thousand Prime Stones, anything too little is still not acceptable.
Openly priced is fine, but the hardest to repay is the favor debt.
Luckily, King of Qin Guang is very considerate, not letting Someone Jiang owe him a favor. This whole mess was blocked outside the Cliff of Celestial Punishment, jumping into the carriage at the slightest disagreement, bringing the account book forward upon meeting.
The account book jabbed into Jiang Wang’s face: "This is the invoice for the previous Hell Has No Door operation. Please, this Daiqi Marquis, have a look."
Jiang Wang tried to ignore it.
But Yin Guan was also very persistent.
After a stalemate for a while, Jiang Wang grumbled in dissatisfaction, muttering things like ’I didn’t ask for your help.’
In Yin Guan’s eyes, flashes of dangerous green sparkled, he ominously said: "The Daiqi Marquis means to deny his public bounty?"
Recognize it, he still has to recognize it.
After all, Qingya Academy, contacted by Zhongxuan Sheng, indeed failed to capture Yu Liangfu. If it weren’t for Yin Guan stepping in, Zhang Linchuan’s clone would have really gotten away.
"How much is it?" Jiang Wang asked.
Yin Guan tilted his chin: "See for yourself."
"Just tell me the number, we’ve known each other for so many years, can’t I trust you?" Jiang Wang said as he picked up the account book to examine.
As he read, he furrowed his brow: "Slaying one External Building Environment clone... why are there performance fees for so many people? One, two, three... all nine Yamas deployed?"
Yin Guan said seriously: "That Yu Liangfu, speaking of which, is merely External Building Environment in theory, actually, it’s extremely perilous. You don’t understand the methods of True Gods. We chased him for tens of thousands of miles, finally engaging in battle at Long River, fighting until the sky darkened, the sun and moon dimmed, overturning seas and rivers..."
"Did you alarm the Long River Dragon Palace?" Jiang Wang coldly retorted: "Even when I was dealing with Zhang Linchuan’s true body, there wasn’t such a stir."
"Cough, that didn’t happen. After all, we, Hell Has No Door, have some strength, timely subdued Yu Liangfu, preventing him from stirring greater waves."
Jiang Wang’s eyes shifted from the account book: "I don’t see King of Bian Cheng here? According to your style, shouldn’t everyone be dispatched to earn performance fees?"
"If he were here, he would have appeared too." Yin Guan replied earnestly: "After all, our Hell Has No Door operates with a style of going all out, ensuring success. Dealing with a present-day True God is very risky."
"Already severed from his realm, merely a Furry God, and just an External Building Environment clone." Jiang Wang emphasized.
Yin Guan replied: "But you can’t deny, he was hard to deal with. That Qingya Academy bookworm was quite formidable too, right? Did you capture him?"
Jiang Wang acknowledged that Yin Guan made some valid points.
So he directly said: "I have no money."
Yin Guan’s eyes widened: "A true Overlord Country’s dedicated military merit Marquis, you say you have no money? Your annual salary alone isn’t little!?"
Reaching to grab Jiang Wang’s Storage Box: "Where’s your salary?"
Jiang Wang slapped his hand away, confidently stating: "Previously, the Son of Heaven made me recite, couldn’t do it, so he docked my pay. This year’s is already deducted, next year’s doesn’t have much left."
Yin Guan looked skeptical: "You couldn’t recite well?"
"What they made me recite was ’History of Chiseling the Sea’."
Yin Guan slapped his thigh: "This Jiang Shu is too stingy! Isn’t this a sneaky way to dock your pay?"
Jiang Wang glanced at him: "Show some respect to our Majesty."
Yin Guan continued: "What about your other industries? Don’t try to fool me; you and that plump guy’s partnered business association earns quite a bit yearly."
"Under Zhongxuan Sheng’s leadership, the business association is constantly expanding and investing. I can mobilize very few liquid funds, the Prime Stones for the previous bounty were borrowed and mortgaged from various places." Jiang Wang raised his right arm: "Expense toward the Church of Lifeless bounty was a significant amount. Added with the treatment for this arm... it cost quite a bit."
Yin Guan was left speechless. "We deployed nine Yamas!"
"I’m truly out of money right now." Jiang Wang had to speak nicely: "Give me a grace period."
"Give me something." Yin Guan squinted at him: "How can someone evade Yama’s debt? Would it sound good if the word spread?"
Jiang Wang simply took out his Storage Box, opening it: "Look, it’s not that I’m refusing, I only have these ten odd Prime Stones, they’re ones I borrowed during this trip from friends. You wouldn’t care for such a small sum either."
Yin Guan reached out and gathered all those thirteen Prime Stones.
"Having no money is acceptable."
He swiftly pocketed the account book: "I’ll carry over the remainder, next time we’ll deduct from your salary."
