Chapter 2537 Forced Robbery
If we were to ask who in this city is the least daring to mess with right now?
Liu Wen and Li Yan are definitely number one, but Qin Fei is definitely number one as well.
The trouble he might cause is even greater than that caused by Liu Wen and Li Yan.
Now that Qin Fei has taken the initiative to come to this place to demand an explanation, it is certainly not good news for those guarding the city gate.
"Young Master Qin, may I ask who your junior brother is?" At this moment, a bolder person was pushed forward by them.
"I don't need to tell you who my junior brother is. I just want to ask if there was a riot here before, and if you injured many people?" Qin Fei asked, looking directly at the person who asked the question.
"That's true, but those people deliberately forced their way through the checkpoint, which led to the conflict. We didn't mean to hurt anyone," the man replied.
"hehe……."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fei merely sneered before saying, "You are neither the creators of this city nor its administrators. I wonder who gave you the right to collect entrance fees here—yourselves or someone else?"
This statement was quite provocative; Qin Fei was essentially launching a general attack on all of them.
The decision to charge an entrance fee in this area was the result of discussions among several factions.
This was spearheaded by the Divine Martial Sect and the Liu family, along with several other forces.
Since this cake, made with no initial investment, has already been delivered to their mouths, they have no reason not to take a bite.
"Young Master Qin, we acknowledge that you are very capable, and your master is also very capable, but what we are doing now does not directly infringe upon your interests, so why are you making trouble for us?" someone else said.
"It's none of my business if you're stealing other people's crystals here, but are we talking about the same thing now?"
"What I want to ask you now is, who exactly struck my junior brother? If you step forward now, then we can have a proper talk. If you all pretend to be deaf and dumb, then there's no point in us continuing this conversation!"
Qin Fei's attitude was exceptionally tough, making it seem as if he possessed some kind of world-shaking power, but in reality, his current cultivation level wasn't even at the Earth Profound Realm; he was still stuck at the peak of the late Heaven Profound Realm.
Qin Fei's individual strength is not enough to threaten everyone present, but the God of Wine behind him can.
So when everyone heard what Qin Fei said, their expressions all changed.
Subconsciously, they focused their attention on one of the old men.
This person is the most powerful cultivator here, and is also an elder of the Liu family.
With his cultivation level, he could easily control Qin Fei, but the key question is whether he could bear the consequences after controlling Qin Fei.
Can the Liu family afford it?
The Liu family has already been plundered by the God of Wine once, and even their eldest elder's personal intervention was of no use. If they were to clash with Qin Fei again at this time, how would they handle the situation?
So now everyone's expectations of him are like the raging flames under a furnace, making his scalp tingle.
"Don't look at me, just do what you're supposed to do." He didn't want to or could take the lead at all, so after saying that, he decisively took several steps back.
He seemed to be trying to tell everyone that they shouldn't expect him to take the lead in this matter.
Qin Fei wouldn't agree to this stalemate. He glanced around and then said, "Since none of you are willing to take responsibility for this, I'll calculate it as if each of you is responsible for one share. I used 10,000 spirit herbs and 50,000 crystals to treat my junior brother. If you compensate for these, I can let bygones be bygones. If you're unwilling to pay, you should know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, almost everyone in the room changed their expression.
Qin Fei is planning to forcibly seize it.
The claim that saving people would cost 10,000 spiritual herbs and 50,000 crystals is clearly just Qin Fei's excuse; his real intention is to rob them!
They weren't afraid of Qin Fei alone, but they were afraid that the God of Wine would suddenly jump up to support Qin Fei again.
After all, so much time has passed, and none of them know where the God of Wine has gone. Under these circumstances, who would dare to gamble?
"what to do??
This statement clearly reflects the dilemma they are all currently facing.
"Qin Fei, we need evidence for everything. You say your junior brother was beaten by us here, then produce the evidence. As long as you can produce the evidence, then we will accept the compensation you just mentioned." Someone said at this moment.
In their view, Qin Fei coming here to demand compensation was most likely an attempt to rob them, and there was no such thing as his junior brother at all.
But this time they're destined to make a fool of themselves. Since they want to see evidence, then Qin Fei will give them the evidence!
"Brother Li, I would like to trouble your family members to make the trip and bring my junior brother here!"
The words that are spoken, the water that is poured out.
Without evidence, Qin Fei indeed had no reason to take the elixirs and crystals from these people.
However, if there is sufficient evidence, these people would probably have no excuse even if they wanted to renege on their debts.
Ten thousand spiritual herbs and fifty thousand crystals are already an astonishing fortune, so Qin Fei definitely wants to get his hands on them.
"Okay, wrap it up on me."
Although Su Chen was injured, it did not affect his movement. So, within just three minutes, Su Chen was brought to the scene by the Li family members.
The moment Su Chen appeared, the people guarding the city gate immediately became agitated.
If Qin Fei's junior brother were someone else, they might be able to pretend they didn't know him, but Su Chen was arguing with them here, which many people witnessed.
Even if they deny it, it probably won't make a difference.
"Gentlemen, do you still recognize Lao Tzu?"
Looking at the people who had beaten him, Su Chen immediately shouted loudly.
"This young hero looks unfamiliar. May I ask who you are?"
Under the watchful eyes of Su Chen and Qin Fei, one of them cupped his hands and asked Su Chen.
"Nima..."
Hearing this, Su Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. He didn't expect the other party to be so shameless. He knew that among the people who beat him, these people had all done something, but in the blink of an eye, they started to renege on their debts. They really had no shame at all.
"Junior brother, were these the people who beat you up?" Qin Fei asked at this moment.
"Yes!"
Su Chen nodded: "Every single one of these people has attacked me."
They say you have to consider the owner before beating a dog. These people almost beat him to death. Now that Qin Fei is going to stand up for him, he naturally has to be more aggressive in his tone.
"Gentlemen, you've all heard what I said, so shouldn't you keep the promises you made earlier?" Qin Fei said calmly to these people.
These people come from various factions and can be considered a large group.
But now, Qin Fei not only showed no fear in front of them, but even had a sense of superiority, as if he were looking down on them.
The more he acted this way, the more wary these people became.
How long has it been since the God of Wine plundered the Liu family and the Divine Martial Sect?
Such tragedies could happen again at any time.
So now Qin Fei has undoubtedly pushed them to the brink, leaving them with no way to advance or retreat.
It's all that person's fault for being so rude; they insisted on having the evidence presented before admitting it was true.
Now that they've brought all the evidence to their doorstep, how can they possibly refute it?
Should we directly break ties and start a fight with Qin Fei?
Leaving aside whether they can do anything to Qin Fei right now, Qin Fei's vengeful nature alone is probably something that ordinary people can't handle.
“I have limited patience. If you continue to ignore me, I will consider it a refusal to compensate me.”
"At that time, it might not be as simple as ten thousand spiritual herbs and fifty thousand crystals."
"I'm willing to pay!"
Just then, someone finally couldn't withstand Qin Fei's verbal pressure and chose to back down.
They are not a top-tier power like the Liu family or the Divine Martial Sect; they are merely a second-tier power. If the Liu family and the Divine Martial Sect cannot afford to offend them, then they are even less likely to offend them.
Even a single word from the god of wine could wipe out their entire force instantly.
Since he couldn't afford to offend them, he had no choice but to offer compensation.
"We are willing to compensate with eight hundred medicinal herbs plus four thousand crystal stones!"
As he spoke, the man took out the items he was talking about from his spatial ring.
The people gathered here come from various factions. Judging from his intentions, he clearly intends to compensate one faction individually before running away.
"Coward!"
Seeing someone back down, the faces of these people instantly fell.
If they all united, they might not be afraid of Qin Fei, but now that someone has taken the lead, it means their situation will be extremely unfavorable.
"We're willing to pay!"
Once someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow suit. A moment later, someone else took out eight hundred spiritual herbs and four thousand crystals, and then chose to leave.
"Holy crap, is this robbery?"
Seeing this, Su Chen could hardly believe his eyes.
It should be noted that these people guarding the city gate are all quite powerful, and there are many of them with higher cultivation levels than Qin Fei. Yet now, they have chosen to back down under Qin Fei's verbal threats.
What's going on here?
Previously, Su Chen had been quietly improving his cultivation outside, all in order to complete the task assigned to him by the God of Wine.
Therefore, he still knows nothing about what exactly happened in the city.
Now he only felt that all of this was so unreal.
So many medicinal herbs and crystals, and they just said they'd compensate us?
This is truly something I've never seen before.
"We'll compensate you too!"
Many forces had no prior conflicts with Qin Fei, so when the situation became unfavorable to them, they also considered withdrawing.
Right now, they can get out of their predicament by paying some compensation, but if they continue to muddy the waters, the outcome is hard to predict.
Since they were not capable of challenging Qin Fei to the end, they had no choice but to compensate him with spirit medicine and crystals to settle the matter peacefully.
