Chapter 944: Chapter 0944: Too Many, Let Me Calculate for You

"Heh, if you dare, just try it."

Tang Ming chuckled indifferently, "You should be very clear about how much toxic gas is in the laboratory. If it explodes, and the gas leaks out, I guarantee that the entire area within a hundred miles of the Imperial City’s north suburb will be barren."

"Do you think this can threaten me?"

Fu Tianyou’s tone turned grave, and he said unwillingly, "Even if I don’t blow up the lab, I can seal off the exit and bury it underground forever, letting no one ever use it."

"Oh, how capable you are! The lab is currently under my Dark Group’s control. If you really seal the exit, causing trouble on our turf, naturally, someone higher up will negotiate with you, while I deal with Ling Shengtian immediately. Think it over."

Tang Ming nonchalantly shrugged and kindly reminded, "By the way, the poison I used isn’t fatal, but it can make life worse than death. If any of your subordinates are poisoned, you can come to me for the antidote, but it’ll cost you. Let me see how many people you have in the Ming Group..."

"Huff huff, you win."

Fu Tianyou tried to calm his breathing but did not beg Tang Ming for mercy. He had already contacted the Medicine Sect to help research an antidote, believing they could detoxify his son. There was no need to bow to Tang Ming over this matter.

"Enough with the talking, are you going to pay or not? If not, I’ll torture Ling Shengtian severely."

Tang Ming impatiently urged.

"Speak, how much do you want?"

Fu Tianyou asked coldly after calming down.

"Not much, just give me two billion."

Tang Ming yawned, stating his price.

Chen Cang and Xin Badao were both shocked by Tang Ming’s price. Even Fu Renjie wouldn’t cost this much. Was Tang Ming planning not to release anyone at all?

"Why don’t you just rob me?"

Hearing Tang Ming raise the price from two billion to twenty billion, Fu Tianyou exploded, yelling angrily, "I don’t want the person anymore; just kill him, you lunatic."

"That’s what you said, huh? Then I’ll take out Ling Shengtian and those twenty-four martial masters together."

Tang Ming casually replied.

"Wait a minute. Did you say there are twenty-four martial masters?"

Fu Tianyou quickly stopped Tang Ming, "Aren’t they already dead from poisoning?"

"Your son is poisoned too, so did he die? Who told you that being poisoned means certain death?"

Tang Ming sneered disdainfully.

"I... As long as they’re not dead."

Fu Tianyou sighed in relief, initially thinking Lengzhan and others were already dead, only to find they were still alive. Though it would cost a fortune, these over twenty martial masters must be rescued no matter what.

"They’re not dead yet, but since you told me to kill them, they’ll all be dead soon."

Tang Ming knew he had hit Fu Tianyou’s sore spot, coldly reminding him.

"Don’t mess around; they’re all part of my Ming Group. If you dare..."

"So what if I do?"

Tang Ming impatiently interrupted Fu Tianyou, coldly saying, "I don’t know about any Ming Group. All I know is that they’re a gang of desperados attacking the Dark Group Martial Arts Inspection Team base, and they don’t have any Ming Group markings. Even if I kill them, it’s self-defense, right?"

Fu Tianyou was speechless. Lengzhan and others attacked the division under the guise of terrorists to clear themselves afterward, but now it had become Tang Ming’s main argument, leaving him with nothing to say.

"Twenty billion is too much."

Fu Tianyou gritted his teeth, starting to negotiate with Tang Ming.

"How could it be?"

Tang Ming squinted, saying calmly, "Ling Shengtian is a Four-star Martial Master; he’s worth two billion himself. And those over twenty martial masters, together, they’re worth twenty billion, right?"

"It’s not counted that way."

Fu Tianyou sighed, arguing, "Ling Shengtian is my secretary and a Four-star Martial Master. I can accept two billion for him, but Lengzhan and the others are low-level martial masters, not worth that much."

"Even at one billion each, that’s more than twenty billion. How about I kill a few for you to see?"

Tang Ming threatened with displeasure.

"Tang Xin, we’re all part of the organization. It’s normal to have victories and defeats in our fights, but a large-scale massacre of martial masters is too much."

Fu Tianyou quickly tried to calm things down.

"It makes no difference to me."

Tang Ming shrugged indifferently, impatiently saying, "So, you calculate how much you’re willing to pay?"

"Fine, let’s calculate properly."

Fu Tianyou became interested, asking earnestly, "Ling Shengtian is a Four-star Martial Master. You want two billion for him, right?"

"That’s right."

Tang Ming nodded, not denying his own words.

"Okay, Lengzhan, as the Ming Group Martial Arts Inspection Team Group Leader, is on the same level as Ling Shengtian. I’ll calculate him as two billion for you. Does that work?"

Fu Tianyou asked again.

"That works."

Tang Ming nodded, immediately motioning to Chen Cang to take notes on the negotiations and handed him the folder and calculator.

"That’s four billion. The other martial masters aren’t worth that much. At most, I can give you twenty million per person; I can’t give any more."

Fu Tianyou stated firmly.

"What’s the current total?"

Tang Ming covered the phone microphone and asked Chen Cang.

"Two for two billion, and twenty-three at twenty million each, totaling eight billion six hundred million."

Chen Cang quickly responded.

"That’s it?"

Tang Ming frowned, opened the microphone, and said dissatisfied, "Too little, martial masters should be at least fifty million each."

"That’s absolutely impossible. If not, just kill them. I only want Lengzhan and Ling Shengtian. You won’t get a penny."

Fu Tianyou shouted somewhat shamelessly.

"Are you messing with me?"

Hearing this, Tang Ming was furious and shouted angrily, "I’m selling in bulk. You either buy them all, or they’re all dead."

"Alright, I’ll buy the whole lot for eight billion six hundred million. That’s a price I can accept."

Fu Tianyou smiled happily.

"Alright, you’ve settled the ransom, now let me tally up my bill, okay?"

Tang Ming’s eyes twinkled as he asked with a sly smile.

"What other bill do you have?"

Fu Tianyou was stunned, feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Firstly, when those over twenty martial masters attacked my Dark Group Martial Arts Inspection Team base, they killed my subordinates..."

Tang Ming spoke while looking at Xin Badao.

"Huh?"

Xin Badao looked bewildered, as there seemed to be no casualties on the Inspection Team’s side.

Seeing Xin Badao dazed, Tang Ming quickly mouthed, "Weren’t a few dogs killed? How many in total, and what were their names?"
