Chapter 773: Chapter 0773 High Appearance Fee

"Wow, then wait for me, I’ll just take a quick shower and head over."

Chen Cang shouted excitedly, followed by a series of clattering noises.

"Heh, I knew little Cangcang would definitely come."

Li Xiaoli put down her phone and laughed triumphantly, then continued shopping with the two girls.

At the entrance of the Su Family Villa complex, Tang Ming looked at Xin Badao and Chu Batian before him and instructed, "You two already know what happened. From now on, I am your Group Leader Tang Xin, so make sure not to blow my cover."

"Don’t worry, Boss Poison, we will definitely..." Xin Badao hastily pledged his assurance.

"Sect Master, it’s Tang, the Group Leader."

Chu Batian quickly interrupted Xin Badao’s words, earnestly correcting him.

"Right, right, it’s Group Leader Tang."

Xin Badao gave an awkward smile and then looked worriedly at Tang Ming, "Now that both of us have pulled back, what about the three ladies? We found out that someone was planning to harm them, and I’m afraid they might be in danger."

"Don’t worry, I have my own arrangements."

Tang Ming smiled nonchalantly, the power of the Poison Bombs he had given Xia Wei’er was on par with that of two Six-star Martial Masters, so should they really encounter any danger, it would be more than enough to cope.

"Since the Group Leader has made arrangements, then we can rest easy."

Xin Badao let out a sigh of relief and said no more.

"You guys are finally here."

Just at that moment, Su Xiaoxi hurriedly walked out from the residential area.

"There’s money to be made, of course, we wouldn’t miss out."

Tang Ming looked at Su Xiaoxi with a beaming smile and extended his hand, "I’ve brought the people, but we need to talk about the price first."

"Let’s deal with my granddad first, then we can talk about the price."

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Tang Ming speechlessly. This guy was sitting on a billion-dollar fortune, yet he still cared so much about money?

"That won’t do, clear accounts make good friends, we’d better settle things first to avoid any disagreements later."

Tang Ming shook his head repeatedly.

"Fine, just tell me how much you want."

Su Xiaoxi glared at Tang Ming, clearly annoyed.

"The price this time might be a bit high."

Tang Ming held up five fingers, looking concernedly at Su Xiaoxi.

"Heh, how high could it be, five million, right? No problem."

Su Xiaoxi said dismissively, her mouth turned up slightly. She was almost startled when Tang Ming said it would be expensive previously, but now she truly didn’t care.

"Cough, cough, you’re mistaken, I mean fifty million," Tang Ming coughed twice, quickly correcting himself.

"What?"

Su Xiaoxi’s legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed. Last time it was one million, and this time it was fifty million, such a huge difference; it was like profiteering from a disaster.

"Yeah, fifty million. Look, I even revealed my secret identity and hired two super experts for you, this price is already very low."

Tang Ming pointed at Xin Badao and Chu Batian and said with a grin, "Even a Three-star Martial Master from the Poison Widow is worth a hundred million. I hired two Five-star Martial Masters for you, this price is definitely a huge discount."

"Tang Ming, you’re really taking advantage of the chaos to rob me,"

Li Xiaoli gritted her teeth and glared at Tang Ming as she shouted.

"Are you ready to blow your cover? From now on, you should call me Tang Xin."

Tang Ming casually cleaned his ears and replied indifferently, "Anyway, this is the price. If you agree, I’ll immediately bring them in to see your grandpa. If you don’t, then find someone better. I know this matter with you will never end, so I might as well ask for a lump sum now and consider it as after-sales service."

This time, Tang Ming had learned his lesson. Using Li Wenxuan as a shield resulted in endless trouble, nearly leading to marriage, so this time, the fee had to be substantial for his satisfaction.

"You... are too petty."

Li Xiaoli was so infuriated she couldn’t find words. With the old master waiting inside, where was she supposed to find someone else?

What’s more, after the commotion at the party, it was already impossible to get rid of Tang Ming. The guy’s schemes ran deep.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoli stared suspiciously at Tang Ming and asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be a web novelist, would you?"

"What?"

Tang Ming was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Li Xiaoli would suddenly ask that.

"Hmph, I’ve read a web novel called ’Unrivaled’ before. It was free at the beginning, but as soon as it got to the exciting part, they started charging. It’s such a rip-off."

Li Xiaoli coldly huffed with a displeased expression.

"If you put it that way, it seems not unreasonable."

After thinking about it, Tang Ming conceded that his current strategy indeed involved giving an initial discount and then suddenly raising the price, leaving no chance for refusal.

"Do you feel imbalanced because you gave me so many Detoxification Pills last time, and you’re looking for a chance to get your money back?"

Li Xiaoli stared at Tang Ming as she speculated again. Previously, the Detoxification Pills had earned the Su Family quite a bit, but her own funds were limited. This way, she would definitely be bled dry by Tang Ming.

"Less talk, just tell me if you agree or not." Tang Ming rolled his eyes, impatiently urging her.

"You’re ruthless. I’ll transfer the money to you now." Li Xiaoli glared hatefully at Tang Ming and, gritting her teeth, pulled out her phone.

"Transfer one million to me, and the remaining four million, distribute evenly to their accounts."

Tang Ming shook his head and pointed behind him to Xin Badao and Chu Batian.

"What?"

Xin Badao and Chu Batian were both shocked. They had just been contemplating how masterful Tang Ming was at ripping people off, but they didn’t expect him to share four million with them. The surprise was too overwhelming.

"To them?"

Li Xiaoli was taken aback for a moment and looked at Tang Ming puzzled.

"Of course. These two are big shots from the Poison Sect. To put on an act for you and win over your grandfather just for this bit of money, shouldn’t they be compensated?"

Tang Ming shot Li Xiaoli a look, righteously declaring: "If it were just me, a few hundred thousand would suffice, but not for them."

"Oh, oh, I get it."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, recognizing that even an ordinary Five-star Martial Master couldn’t be measured by money, let alone Xin Badao and Chu Batian, who are the bigwigs of the Poison Sect. Forget 50 million, even 500 million might not be enough to get them involved.

With this thought, Li Xiaoli felt much better about spending that 50 million. It felt worth it, without the discomfort of feeling ripped off like before. In fact, she felt a bit smug—securing two big shots from the Poison Sect for just 50 million seemed like a bargain!

Chu Batian and Xin Badao felt unexpectedly honored, their expressions complex as they gazed at Tang Ming. They were now willingly loyal to Tang Ming, amazed that he was so generous, handing out millions like it was nothing. Following such a leader, even death would be worth it.

"Group Leader, this amount seems a bit excessive,"

After receiving the transfer from Li Xiaoli, Xin Badao and Chu Batian looked at Tang Ming with some embarrassment.
