Chapter 660: Chapter 0660: Afraid You Can’t Afford It

"Isn’t a bodyguard supposed to shield their employer from danger?"

Tang Ming gave a strange smile and glanced at Xin Badao, "Since you are so powerful and insist on killing me today, I have no choice but to let my bodyguard fight to the death with you. It’s only natural."

"Hehe, man in black, look at your employer. For his own safety, he doesn’t care about your life or death. Why should you be loyal to him?"

Zhen Xiaosa gave a cold smile, looking at Xin Badao he said, "Now, don’t meddle in other people’s business; I’ll offer you double the salary to come work for the Zhen Family. How about that?"

"Do you even know how much I make? Such big talk, aren’t you afraid you’ll strain your tongue?"

Xin Badao looked at Zhen Xiaosa speechlessly. He knew about the Zhen Family; although it was a not-so-small Martial Arts Family, their strongest member was only a Four-star Martial Master. And yet here they were trying to recruit him, a Six-star Martial Master and the Sect Master of the Poison Sect. Did they have water in their brains?

"What a joke, my Zhen Family is a powerful Martial Arts Family. If this kid can hire you, my Zhen Family certainly won’t be short on cash. Just name your price."

Zhen Xiaosa looked at Xin Badao with an arrogant face. In his eyes, being a bodyguard for Tang Ming was worth at most a million or so.

"Boss, this guy is trying to poach me. Do you think I should give him a price?"

Xin Badao turned to Tang Ming and inquired.

"That doesn’t seem right. What if he can afford the price? Wouldn’t you switch sides on the spot?"

Tang Ming frowned, muttering discontentedly.

"People die for wealth, and birds die for food; even more so, these bodyguards are risking their lives for money. If I offer more money, naturally they will swear allegiance to me. You only have yourself to blame for not having enough cash."

Zhen Xiaosa watched Tang Ming with triumph. He loved the feeling of using his family’s power to crush his opponents, poaching Tang Ming’s man right in front of him, and Tang Ming could do nothing about it.

"Fine, since that’s the case, I’ll quote a price."

Xin Badao cleared his throat and said seriously, holding up two fingers, "I won’t ask you to double it; just give me a 50% raise, so let’s go with this number, shall we?"

"Two million?"

Zhen Xiaosa disdainfully curled his lip; that amount was mere pocket change to him.

"Cough cough, do I look that cheap to you?"

Xin Badao’s face darkened, being valued at only two million by Zhen Xiaosa was utterly displeasing for a Six-star Martial Master.

"As long as you have the skills, I can also take out twenty million."

Zhen Xiaosa frowned slightly but still waved his hand generously.

"Wow, big spender."

Li Xiaoli became excited and tilted her head, saying, "I didn’t realize this guy was so rich."

"Only twenty million, that’s not too much, right?"

Liu Mengting said with a carefree laugh.

Hearing that Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting were impressed with his lavish display, Zhen Xiaosa was even more proud. With all his wealth, good looks, not insignificant abilities, and a strong family background, he was sure to win over these beautiful girls.

"Sorry, but your offer is still too low."

Just when Zhen Xiaosa was basking in his pride, Xin Badao shook his head unsatisfactorily.

"You can’t possibly be telling me you want two hundred million?"

Zhen Xiaosa’s face turned cold, he said irritably, "Even the most badass bodyguards don’t cost that much."

"I’m sorry to disappoint, but my current worth is actually twenty billion."

Xin Badao smiled faintly, and what he said was no lie—as the Sect Master of the Poison Sect, just one Yunhai Manor alone was worth more than that.

"Motherfucker, are you playing with me?" Zhen Xiaosa got angry.

"I’m not playing you, the compensation my boss offered me is definitely more than this price, and I’ve already given you a discount. If you can pay me two billion, I can teach my boss a lesson right now?"

Xin Badao looked at Zhen Xiaosa with a smile, saying earnestly.

"Right, right, right, just give him two billion, and I’m willing to let him beat me up."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, secretly hoping that Zhen Xiaosa would agree to pay the two billion. After all, Xin Badao was one of their own, and it would be awesome to actually get twenty billion out of it.

"Do you take me for an idiot? Thinking of conning my money, no way."

Zhen Xiaosa bellowed angrily, if he agreed to such terms, that would truly mean he had water in his brain.

"Aiyo, just moments ago you had such a big talk, and now you don’t have the money, huh?"

Li Xiaoli exclaimed with an exaggerated shock.

"Damn it."

Zhen Xiaosa’s face turned red with rage. He had intended to show off, but ended up being played instead, and he glared coldly at Xin Badao: "Since you’re being unreasonable, don’t blame me for not being polite. Get started, teach him a lesson along with the others."

"Hold on."

Just as Zhen Xiaosa’s bodyguards were about to make a move, Tang Ming hurriedly raised his hand to stop them, grinning at Zhen Xiaosa: "Brother Xiaosa, or maybe you’d consider paying twenty million for him, want to think about it?"

"Think about your grandpa, beat them to death for me."

Zhen Xiaosa had lost his patience and now just wanted to severely discipline Tang Ming and that damned bodyguard before taking the three beauties away to have some fun.

"Let’s negotiate a bit more, two hundred thousand will do, or how about twenty thousand words?"

Tang Ming held back his laughter, continuously haggling, secretly blaming Xin Badao for asking too high a price and scaring off the big fool.

Liu Mengting and the other two women stood behind Tang Ming, watching him constantly lowering the price, their expressions quite strange.

"Xiaoli, it seems your skills at swindling people are much better than Tang Ming’s."

Liu Mengting looked at Li Xiaoli, filled with admiration.

"Of course, the highest realm of swindling people is to make them willingly deceived invisibly. Brother Tang Ming here is too obvious with his motives, only a fool would fall for it."

Li Xiaoli puffed out her chest proudly, recalling her own achievements and could not help but feel proud. Various Three-star and Four-star martial masters and even Tang Ming himself were nothing but easy marks in front of her.

"I’m too lazy to waste words with you now, get a move on, beat them to death."

Zhen Xiaosa couldn’t care less about Tang Ming’s price reduction, and urged impatiently.

"Go."

The two bodyguards exchanged glances and immediately began cultivating, attacking Xin Badao at the same time.

Both were One-star Martial Masters, and after years of working together, their coordination was seamless. Even when facing a Two-star Martial Artist, they would have a fighting chance, except...

The two bodyguards charged at Xin Badao with fierce momentum, but just as they were about to touch him, Xin Badao’s palm struck them on their chests like a flash of lightning.

"Bang!"

The two martial master bodyguards flew out as if hit by a train, spitting blood profusely in mid-air.

Zhen Xiaosa’s eyes widened, staring as his two bodyguards flew past him on either side, completely dumbfounded.

These were two martial masters, how could they be smacked away like hitting a ball?

"Heh, and you dare to be bodyguards with this little skill, how embarrassing."

Xin Badao pulled back his palm, looking disdainfully at the two bodyguards vomiting blood on the ground.
