The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 3040

The old man who understood everything that Austin meant was aghast as well.

He was not expecting this young man to have such an appetite for wealth, to the point that he wanted half of the Xu Clan's property!

"Hmm?" Austin said in a cold mocking voice after a while of silent shock from his audience. "Didn't you brag that you could fulfill my requirement, no matter what it is?

Do you mean to go back on your word? Because if that's the case then I will have no choice but to kill you all."

A chill descended upon the yard.

Given Austin's strength, he could easily manipulate the temperature of a small area.

In a matter of moments, a harsh, cold wind was blowing and howling across the yard.

The members of the Xu Clan were shivering in their clothes, their faces turning pale as their bodies froze so slowly.

As the magnitude of Austin's capabilities finally dawned on them, no one dared to voice their protests out loud.

They were all thinking the same thing: this man was a demon!

"Please do not be angry with us, sir!"

The old man was trembling as he cried out.

"We will meet your terms!"

Money was important, of course, but there would be no point to their wealth if they all ended up dead there and then.

They all knew Austin was not bluffing.

He really would annihilate anyone who displeased him.

"Now, are you absolutely sure?"

Austin replied, his cold smirk still in place.

"Yes, yes," the old man was nodding vigorously, eventually bowing low to the young man.

"As long as you spare our lives."

"All right, it's settled then.

I will give you one day to sort out all the assets belonging to the Xu Clan.

I want half of all the property transferred under my name.

I will come back tomorrow to seal our deal."

The Xu Clan might have a considerably huge amount of property to go over with, but Austin was confident that they'd be able to hire a professional team to work overtime and meet his deadline.

One day should be enough.

"Sir," the old man spoke, and Austin could tell he was gritting himself for what he was about to say.

"Can you promise that once the assets are in your possession, you will never again bother the Xu Clan?"

"That's right. The old grudges between your clan and me will be written off.

If you make the mistake of messing with me again in the future, however, then that's a different matter altogether.

You best remember it."

It was a thinly veiled threat, and everyone was only eager to acquiesce.

"Yes, yes, understood." The old man was nodding vigorously again.

Austin said nothing more, and used the Omnipotent Lightness to vanish into thin air.

The people he left behind in the yard were staring bewildered at the spot where he disappeared.

Silence hung thick in the air, as the members of the Xu Clan processed the complex emotions they were feeling after the encounter.

"That man!"

A small voice piped up.

It belonged to a girl, who seemed to be about thirteen or fourteen years of age.

"Does he know some kind of invisibility magic?

That was so amazing!"

"He came and went without leaving a trace," the old man spoke with a heavy voice. "He's obviously someone like a legendary divine being, and he could kill anyone with ease.

With such terrible power, he isn't someone we could trifle with.

You must remember, all you members of the Xu Clan here in the provincial capital!

You must avoid offending Austin at all costs.

Otherwise he will bring disaster to us all."

A tall and handsome young man dressed in an expensive suit spoke up then.

"I don't think we really need to be so afraid of that guy.

It's true he is very powerful, but our main branch, the Xu Clan in the southwest, is also renowned in the world of martial arts.

He has beaten our elders here, and I doubt that the southwest branch with let it pass without avenging them.

They'll definitely send someone after Austin.

Besides, the main branch has recently joined the Heavenly Mountain Sect – one of the top sects in the world.

No matter how powerful that guy is, I doubt he would stand a chance against an alliance of two powerful organizations.

I don't think we should give in to his demands; let's just let the main branch deal with him."
