Hearing such a straightforward threat, Guo Meiyu and Han Xueyao laughed!
"Retribution? I don’t know what kind of retribution you’re talking about?"
"Exactly!"
They retorted, looking at the so-called master with interest...
At this moment, they really wanted to know how he would continue this act...
Hearing their calm retort, he frowned, "The retribution I’m talking about is a terrifying kind. You’ve committed too many sins before, so once retribution really comes, you might pay with your lives."
...
"Sounds really scary!"
"Indeed!"
"Since you’re scared now, take me to your rooms!"
By the end of his sentence, a trace of excitement and exhilaration flashed in the so-called master’s eyes.
He knew that as long as he got to their rooms, it would be the first step accomplished.
Once the first step was accomplished, the subsequent things would become much simpler.
Simply put, they now belonged to him because he had already dug a pit for them!
"But... we really don’t want to die! Master, we really don’t want to die!"
"Right, we don’t want to die. If you can help us, we’re willing to give you ten million!"
Hearing the number they mentioned in panic, he widened his eyes in astonishment, "Ten million? Did you just say ten million?"
Noticing that he seemed slightly dissatisfied, they spoke again, "Is it not enough? If it’s not enough, twenty million, or thirty million is fine!"
"Do you really have that much money?"
This so-called master quickly furrowed his brow.
Previously, when scamming in other places, he would usually cheat only a few tens of thousands...
In his view, rural places were generally like that!
So now he really didn’t believe they could come up with ten million!
Sensing his astonishment, an older person nearby stepped forward seriously, "Master, we forgot to tell you earlier, our Xiaohe Village is quite wealthy. We can indeed come up with ten million!"
When others heard him speak, they also chimed in, "Exactly! Ten million might be a lot for others, but it’s really not much for them!"
Hearing them say this, the so-called master’s eyes completely lit up...
"I’ve hit the jackpot, really hit the jackpot this time!"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he pretended to speak calmly, "Money is indeed necessary because back then, your sins were too many! I promise, all thirty million will be used to help you avert disaster."
...
"Thirty million? You’re really not afraid of biting off more than you can chew!"
This mockery reached his ears, making him a bit annoyed!
Frowning, he turned around and looked at a young man with a face full of sarcasm, "Who are you? Do you have a say here?"
Hearing him speak so coldly, the people around quickly approached him, "This is Master Xiaobei!"
Hearing this, he squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Xiaobei, speaking coldly, "Oh? So you’re Hu Xiaobei! No wonder seeing you makes me sick!"
Hu Xiaobei, hearing this, glanced at him deeply and asked indifferently, "Can someone explain to me what’s going on here?"
Hu Xiaobei had hurriedly rushed back earlier and saw so many people here...
Without hesitation, he came over directly...
Because he was in such a hurry, he didn’t get a detailed understanding of the previous events, which is why he wanted to know some specifics!
Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s serious inquiry, Guo Meiyu and Han Xueyao quickly approached him.
Soon, they recounted what they knew.
It turned out that after the plants withered, many people in the village and nearby started desperately seeking solutions!
The young people were fine, but the older ones thought there might be a terrible disaster, so they began to look for the so-called master.
