The Post Sky Tipping Era
Chapter 48 - 39 Double Acquisition

However, faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone felt it was incredible.

Had Yang Yilong really killed He Jun?

It should be known that this was the AnDing District, where murder was illegal, especially the killing of a cultivator, which would definitely attract the investigators from the bureau to come and investigate. If it was verified, trouble would surely follow.

But soon, other people had recovered from the shock.

Given He Jun’s behavior just now, Yang Yilong did well to kill him.

Such betrayal in seeking to survive, distorting the truth, and blaming others— if such a person did not die, there would truly be no justice in the world.

"Good, well done, that beast deserved to die," someone exclaimed, applauding, after a brief silence.

"President Yang, He Jun deserved to die. Don’t worry, I won’t reveal a word about today’s incident. Let’s be consistent in our story and say that He Jun died in the danger zone and his body was not found, so as not to bring trouble to you," another person chimed in.

"Exactly, if nobody speaks of today’s events, who would know?"

Following that, others also became indignant.

Despite receiving this help from the cultivators, Yang Yilong remained calm, merely taking the towel handed by Manager Xu Ming, wiping the blood from his face, and saying, "I will speak to the people from the investigation bureau about this incident; it has nothing to do with anyone else. I, Yang Yilong, am not going to shy away from the responsibility for the death of such a scoundrel."

"Prepare the body and I will personally take it to the investigation bureau first thing tomorrow morning."

He took full responsibility for the incident, sparing others any involvement, showing great leadership.

"Li Yi, this incident is my fault, my failure to see people for who they truly are led to this great trouble, and I owe you an apology." Yang Yilong then discarded the bloodied towel and looked earnestly at Li Yi, apologizing sincerely.

Li Yi immediately responded, "President Yang, you’re too kind; this incident has nothing to do with you, and if it weren’t for your intervention, I might have been killed by He Jun. I should be thanking you."

"It’s good that you understand. However, now that the incident has occurred, I, Yang Yilong, will not shirk the responsibilities I should bear. For every cultivator involved in the operation who returned alive, I am willing to compensate with one million. If anyone was injured, I will not only cover the treatment costs but will also pay an additional one million in nutrition fees," Yang Yilong declared.

Upon hearing these words, any previous grievances the cultivators had against Yang Yilong were instantly erased inside the medical room, all marveled at how fairly President Yang handled matters, praising his generosity, and one cultivator even openly expressed that if President Yang had any tasks in the future, to just give the word and he would definitely rush to join.

Yang Yilong continued, "Li Yi, since this Fierce Beast was hunted by you, I am also willing to purchase it at a high price. Xiao Xu, what are the current buying prices offered by major businesses for this type of Fierce Beast?"

Manager Xu Ming took out a tablet to check the information and said, "Currently, Tianhe Medical Company offers the highest price at nine hundred eighty thousand, because the Fierce Beast, being merely a variant of a tiger, does not qualify as an Extraordinary Creature or as an unknown species, so the price is not optimistic."

Yang Yilong nodded and said, "Li Yi, as personal compensation to you, I am willing to offer twenty million for this Fierce Beast. If you agree to sell, I will have Xu Ming draft a purchase contract with you later."

Double the market price?

The other cultivators were also surprised; this doubling was essentially giving away more than ten million for free.

That was rather extravagant.

Looking at Li Yi again, they couldn’t help but show a look of envy.

"Okay, I have no objection to that price. Thank you for your consideration, President Yang," Li Yi immediately agreed, expressing his gratitude to Yang Yilong.

After all, this was a tangible benefit. To say he wasn’t thankful would be a lie; he was strapped for cash everywhere, and this large sum of money could solve many problems.

Yang Yilong said, "You’re welcome; you deserve it. Moreover, not just for this Fierce Beast, if others later hunt any Fierce Beasts or Extraordinary Creatures, they can also sell them to me. I, Yang Yilong, give my word of honor that the prices I offer for private purchases will definitely be higher than those offered by the big companies in the market."

"Let’s consider the matter closed for today. Everyone should take good care of their injuries here; there’s no rush to go back. If any of you have other needs, you can speak to Xiao Xu about them. I have some private matters to deal with now, so I won’t be staying here," he said.

After saying that, he greeted everyone and then turned and left.

As soon as Yang Yilong left, various speculative whispers filled the medical room.

"I must say, President Yang is truly considerate. The mishap in the danger zone really wasn’t his fault. After all, everyone here voluntarily joined the mission, and no one forced us; it was just our bad luck to run into such misfortune," one commented.

"Yes, President Yang has indeed done everything he could in good faith. He Jun, that beast, killed two cultivators and still tried to slander Li Yi. He deserved to be killed," another added.

"It’s great to know someone like President Yang. If he has any jobs in the future, I will definitely be the first to join," said a third.

Those who had been injured and previously had complaints now began to affectionately call him "President Yang."
