Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Compensation

"Foundation Establishment... Elder..."

With a "whoosh," the middle-aged man suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back.

His face turned pale, and he looked at Zhu Fei with a terrified gaze, his previously arrogant demeanor vanished in the blink of an eye.

Just kidding, this is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. How many Foundation Establishment Cultivators are there in the entire Beiyun City?

Manager Zhang had to offend someone, and just had to be so blind as to offend a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; that truly was a death in vain.

Now, let alone daring to trouble Zhu Fei, even the chairman of their banking firm would definitely not easily make an enemy of Zhu Fei.

Thinking this, the middle-aged man felt his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Facing Zhu Fei’s previously overbearing and oppressive questioning, he dared not refrain from answering and could only manage to squeeze out a servile smile, humbly saying:

"Elder, just now, it was all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. It was Manager Zhang who was foolish and offended the elder. Elder, you have helped us eradicate a scourge, and for that, this junior is immensely grateful."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man respectfully bowed deeply to Zhu Fei.

Such was the Cultivation World; there was no such thing as true justice, everything spoke with power.

Here, human life was as cheap as grass; now that Zhu Fei had demonstrated sufficient power, not to mention if Zhu Fei was reasonable, even if he wasn’t, the other party would definitely find some so-called reason to try to quell his anger.

Conversely, if he had been powerless now, the other party would not even discuss any righteousness with him, and would probably have directly attacked him.

The onlooking crowd witnessing this scene couldn’t help but be a bit shocked.

Honestly, this was the first time they had seen someone from the banking firm admit their wrongs to someone else, and in such a humble manner at that.

However, when the spectators thought about it again, it didn’t seem surprising after all.

Since Zhu Fei possessed the cultivation of Foundation Establishment, from now on, in the entirety of Beiyun City, he would virtually be able to do as he pleased.

For in today’s Beiyun City, whether it was the City Lord’s side, the banking firm’s side, or even the Flowing Cloud Sect, the strongest cultivators were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Realizing this, many people’s eyes couldn’t help but turn towards Yun Jian, filled with envy.

Who could have thought that Yun Jian, a mere Qi Refining Third Level cultivator, would have such a powerful backer?

Some people were even starting to consider, after this incident was over, what reason they should come up with to get acquainted with, even to curry favor with Yun Jian.

"Hmph!"

Faced with the middle-aged man’s capitulation, Zhu Fei still did not show any friendliness.

He coldly snorted, then reached out and pulled over Yun Jian, who was still a bit dazed, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "Brother Yun, just tell this man about what just happened..."

At this point, Zhu Fei’s gaze sharply swept over the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s heart shuddered instantly, and he hurriedly responded with a humble smile, "This subordinate is an elder of the banking firm, named Pang Jie. If the elder has any instructions, you can just tell me, and I will do my utmost."

"Mm."

Zhu Fei saw that this Pang Jie was quite sensible. His originally cold expression finally softened a bit, and he nodded slightly, then continued to say to Yun Jian:

"Brother Yun, just recount to this Pang Jie what happened just now. Don’t worry, say whatever you need to say; I will definitely support you."

The implication was clear, Zhu Fei was seeking compensation.

At this moment, he was acting partly as a warning to the financial firm, telling them that Yun Jian was someone Zhu Fei intended to protect; they better not think of troubling him again.

On the other hand, Zhu Fei wanted to use this opportunity to establish his power, and incidentally, to extract some compensation from the firm.

After all, at the end of the day, Zhu Fei had nothing except the Flying Sword he had just seized from Manager Zhang’s hands.

And currently, what was most crucial for him was to healhis injuries. If he could extort some useful items from the firm, it would definitely shorten the time needed for his recovery.

Once his wounds were fully healed, as long as no Golden Core Cultivators intervened, Zhu Fei would not be afraid of anyone else.

By now, Yun Jian had also completely recovered from his initial shock.

Although Zhu Fei’s identity still somewhat surprised him, he understood the meaning of Zhu Fei’s earlier words.

Without hesitation, he then recounted in detail how they had been oppressed by the firm.

Upon hearing this, Pang Jie couldn’t help but inwardly groan again.

But he also knew that since it had happened, if their firm did not pay a price, it was impossible to appease Zhu Fei’s fury, unless they intended to go to war with Zhu Fei.

However, that thought merely flickered through Pang Jie’s mind before he snuffed it out.

"Elder, to show the sincerity of our firm, we are willing to offer two thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones as compensation for Brother Yun. What do you think?"

After a slight pause, Pang Jie finally steeled himself and spoke to Zhu Fei.

After speaking, he saw Zhu Fei had no reaction, which made him pause briefly before he quickly came to a realization.

Without hesitation, Pang Jie immediately took off a Qiankun Bag from his own body and respectfully handed it over to Zhu Fei:

"Elder, please accept this small token of my respect. In addition to the two thousand spirit stones, there are also one hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones. I hope you can forgive our previous transgressions."

After saying this, Pang Jie felt heartache as if his heart was bleeding.

He knew that the spirit stones he had now offered were all his savings accumulated over the years.

Now, thanks to the foolish actions of Manager Zhang, he had lost so much.

"Hmm, since it is so, let us consider this matter concluded for now."

Zhu Fei took the Qiankun Bag, feeling a slight suspicion in his heart.

This man called Pang Jie was only a Ninth Level Qi Refining Cultivator, yet he possessed so many spirit stones.

It seemed that this financial firm had a lot of resources.

Thinking this, Zhu Fei began contemplating whether he should visit the firm again once his injuries had fully healed.

After all, he didn’t particularly like the financial firm, and he believed that many of their items were of dubious origin; taking them wouldn’t trouble his conscience.

Most importantly, Zhu Fei believed that since he had already disgraced their firm today, if the financial firm didn’t turn against him outright, some necessary warnings were probably inevitable.

If that was the case, why should he hold back?

With this thought in mind, Zhu Fei gave Pang Jie a meaningful smile, which sent a shiver down Pang Jie’s spine.

But before he could even react, Zhu Fei had already taken Yun Jian and disappeared from the plaza in the blink of an eye.
