Chapter 541: Bargaining, Help Arrives

They had made no attempt to kill him. Tianqin Building’s name really did carry some weight: these men only wanted money.

“Uh, Big Brother, I only have ten thousand Immortal Stones left. Consider it payment for your trouble.”

Qin Xiao would have offered less, but these men had followed him from the black market. Anything under ten thousand probably would not get rid of them.

“Ten thousand? You spent eighty thousand at the auction on the Azure Dragon King, and now you say you only have ten thousand? Either hand him over or pay eighty thousand to save your life.”

Hearing the sum was only ten thousand, the leader naturally refused. What kind of joke was this? He had brought his brothers all this way, and the payout was merely ten thousand?

“The Azure Dragon King has gone with the Azure Dragon Clan. I can’t hand him over. You know I’ve already spent eighty thousand. Where would I get any more stones?”

Qin Xiao spread his hands. Ten thousand to save his life was fine. But eighty thousand? Then his whole trip to the black market would have been for nothing. Besides, he could not scrape together that much.

Selling pills and his earlier winnings had brought him a little over 140,000 Immortal Stones. He had spent 80,000 on the Azure Dragon King and had just over 60,000 left. How could he pay 80,000 to save his life?

“Enough nonsense. What Azure Dragon Clan? Speaking of which, there were others with you. Where did the other two go? Contact them and tell them to come ransom you.”

“What a mess. I can’t beat them, and I can’t get away. Do I have to pay them off?”

Qin Xiao was in a bind. If he had known, he would have stayed out of the Azure Dragon King’s business and left last night.
