Chapter 1667: Chapter 1666: Elder Jiang Speaks
"We should let voting do the talking."
"Yes, let’s vote."
Cui Wenwen stood up and said.
"It’s obvious you’re conspiring to deliberately squeeze out Master Fang. And now you’re talking about voting, it’s simply laughable. Are you others going to assist in wrongdoing?"
"I don’t like hearing that. What do you mean by assisting in wrongdoing? Are you just going to lie with your eyes open about wealth worth nine billion? Your Cui Family took eighteen billion in wealth, is that also fake?"
Clink.
Fang Yu set the teacup down on the table, making a crisp sound.
The entire hall went silent.
It became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Fang Yu.
Fang Yu smiled slightly and stood up.
"Have you said enough?"
These four words were extremely impactful.
The implication was clear: you’ve been chattering for half a day, but I haven’t been taking it seriously at all.
This especially embarrassed the people of the Divine Race, wasn’t this just slapping them in the face publicly?
"If you’re done speaking, let me say a few words." Fang Yu said.
"Speak then. I want to see what you have to say."
"It’s simple. This nine billion wealth was proactively given to me by Elder Jiang. You’ve been babbling here for half the day and none of you have thought to ask Elder Jiang directly. Does this wealth matter more? Isn’t Elder Jiang’s life more important?"
Who’d dare interfere with these words?
There wasn’t anyone who dared to contradict, because doing so would mean you’re saying Elder Jiang’s life is worth less than money.
This would be an offense, who’d dare say something like this?
"Secondly, the twenty percent of the wealth was something I proactively gave to Elder Cui. He refused it several times, but I’m a person who values promises, so I gave it to him. If you’re so eager to want your money back, shouldn’t you ask for my opinion, or at least ask Elder Jiang’s opinion?"
Right after he finished speaking.
"You’re just spouting nonsense, what kind of status does Elder Jiang have, of course he wouldn’t ask for the money back himself. It’s understandable to save lives. I’ve said before I’ll give you one billion wealth, isn’t that enough?"
Fang Yu shook his head.
"No, no, no. I think you’ve misunderstood something. What I’m trying to say is, ninety-one billion in wealth isn’t much."
The entire room erupted.
The faces of all the people from the big families turned green.
You say ninety billion wealth isn’t much, then the wealth of their family combined is just that much. Doesn’t that mean theirs isn’t much either? They’ve accumulated for a lifetime and only amount to tens of billions.
Such outrageous statements are truly over the top.
"Ninety-one was merely for my amusement, in fact, Elder Jiang also promised to give me an additional twenty billion wealth, but I felt asking for more wasn’t right. Since Elder Jiang’s wealth isn’t much either, I was embarrassed to ask for twenty billion."
"Shameless!"
"Oh, you’ve got it wrong. Are you saying I’m shameless or that Elder Jiang is shameless? Elder Jiang personally promised this to me, and since you’ve all gathered here today, I’ll repeat Elder Jiang’s original words."
Fang Yu cleared his throat.
"Elder Jiang’s original words were, he wanted to give me an additional fifty billion wealth, but the family wealth is limited. If possible, he’d like some time to buffer, and of course, if time permits, he’d look to borrow from others."
At this point, Fang Yu deliberately paused.
"I think why not let the eight families help Elder Jiang by taking some concrete action and paying this additional fifty billion wealth?"
"..."
This immediately enraged the eight big families.
The original intention was to make you cough up the ninety billion, but now you actually want an additional fifty billion wealth.
It’s just shameless.
This time, not only the eight families but even others had incredibly tense expressions.
Fang Yu originally didn’t intend this, but seeing them babbling on nonstop, since they want to play, let’s play well then.
Even sitting next to him, Elder Cui and the Liu Family members were a bit unbelieving.
Things have reached this point, and he still dares to open his mouth wide like a lion and ask for an additional fifty billion wealth.
Is he crazy? Is he courting death?
Moreover, this is Elder Jiang’s territory, even if physicians have good status and position, compared with the high ranks, it’s still much lesser. Plus, you’re someone who’s ascended from Order Planet.
Just then.
Fang Yu said, "Don’t rush to curse me, I think you should ask Elder Jiang’s attitude first. If I say even half a word that’s false, I’m willing to hand over all my wealth."
All eyes focused.
They turned to Elder Jiang sitting in the most prominent seat.
Elder Jiang hadn’t spoken, with his hands in front of him, like a statue.
After a moment of silence.
A raspy voice finally sounded.
"Master Fang is indeed correct."
"..."
"..."
As soon as he spoke, everyone’s hearts sunk like stones.
Especially the eight families, all showed different expressions, embarrassed.
"I have limited capability, unable to pay this additional fifty billion wealth. Sleepless nights, worried under the stars. When can I pay Master Fang this extra fifty billion wealth?"
"..."
"..."
"It’s a pity that my accumulated wealth isn’t much, otherwise I’d willingly give all my assets to Master Fang. It was Master Fang who gave me life again, wealth is but a fleeting shadow, you can’t take it with you living or dead, what use do I have for it?"
"..."
"I’ve watched you debate this for so long, in part considering for me, I’m thankful you spoke for me. But you can’t ignore the facts because of this, nor defame my lifesaver because of this matter!"
"..."
The room was silent.
The faces of the eight families were twisted together, becoming very unsightly.
If they still don’t understand these words, then they’ve truly lived in vain.
"How about this, my family assets are somewhat lacking, would you lend me some funds so that I can pay Master Fang?"
"..."
"Why is everyone unwilling?"
Once again, the room fell silent.
Silence.
The plan they had schemed for a long time was unexpectedly completely shattered by Elder Jiang’s few words at this moment.
How is it possible?
Having parted with ninety billion wealth, and still speaking for Master Fang. How could it end up like this?
Feeling their hands tremble.
Regret.
It felt like their plan completely failed.
"Our Hu Family will contribute five billion."
"We’ll also contribute five billion."
"Then I’ll contribute five billion too."
The eight families began to offer funds.
They knew that if they didn’t offer funds, they would truly have offended Elder Jiang. At that point, it would not be a mere five billion wealth that could solve it.
No matter how angry they were, no matter how inexplicable and confused they felt.
But this money must be paid.
Elder Cui and Miss Liu looked bewildered. Completely unaware that Elder Jiang would suddenly make this move.
