Chapter 85: The Price (Part 7)

  "Your Majesty!" Vandy Sell cried out in surprise, hastily kneeling down on one knee. Prince Guilder also let out a cry of surprise and similarly knelt down on one knee with his attendants.

  Zain's pupils suddenly constricted, but he was still standing, and so was Li Xie!

  Li Xie didn't even have much of a change in expression, simply because he had no idea who Hai Huang was.

  "Hai Huang? What a majestic aura!" Li Xie wasn't being sarcastic, but genuinely praising! Although he didn't know who Hai Huang was, the fact that someone could be called "Huang" and make others kneel down in reverence just by mentioning their name, such an aura, Li Xie couldn't think of any other words to describe.

  "Down with Li Xie!" Li Xie also introduced himself, without a long full name or any lordly or ducal titles, just his simple name.

  "Haha...... Li Xie?" Hai Huang chuckled and said: "Come visit me at the White Commandery when you have time."

  "Your Excellency is also welcome to come to Chrysanthemum City as a guest, and the expenses will be fully covered by me." Li Xie also smiled.

  "It's settled then." The Sea Emperor's tone turned extremely stern, with an unyielding attitude: "Sando, the matter I entrusted to you, see it through properly!"

  "I certainly won't disappoint your esteemed self." Sandor hastily replied.

  Hai Huang nodded and flew away, followed by the two guards who were watching the door.

  It turned out that the two guards were the Sea King's guards, and the kind middle-aged man was Sandor Clegane, the president of the Continental Chamber of Commerce.

  As the Sea Emperor flew away, Prince Ge Rui De finally let out a breath and stood up. Vandy Sell also stood up, took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in lingering fear: "Your Excellency, you actually dared to mock the Sea Emperor, almost scaring me to death!"

  "Who is Hai Huang?" Li Xie asked a question that almost made everyone fall over.

  "Vandy Sel's forehead broke out in cold sweat again: 'Sir, you really don't know?'"

  "Nonsense, am I that bored?"

  "It's truly 'ignorance is bliss'." Vandy Sell shook his head and sighed: "In today's Gods' Continent, there are three Emperors who stand above all the strong. The Dragon Emperor of Mount Zhou, the Martial Emperor of Wanren Cliff, and the Sea Emperor of Bailing Ocean! Even human emperors would have to kneel down and pay their respects when they see these three! Sir, you may not know this time, but next time you must still pay your respects. Although the Sea Emperor won't mind, a single thought from him is enough to make us turn to dust!"

  "Uh-huh, got it." Li Xie responded perfunctorily, but didn't take it to heart. As soon as he met Hai Huang, Li Xie's head started to ache. He had been feeling unwell since the beginning and now he was expected to pay his respects? Of course, if there were gold coins involved, next time they met, Li Xie wouldn't just give a bow, he'd be willing to kowtow! But for now, even if it meant seeing Hai Huang again, Li Xie wouldn't be polite!

  While Vandy was talking to Li Xie, Prince Ge Ritai had already explained the purpose to Coach Koji.

  Ke Qishi, the steward, had already straightened his waist and still wore a smile on his face. He looked at Li Xie with profound meaning in his eyes before saying, "Housekeeper, take them to the guest room to wait."

  Li Xie and Prince Ge Rui De entered the White Jade Palace under the leadership of Guan Jia, while Fan Di and Se Zerenade, as well as Prince Ge Rui De's followers, were not allowed to enter.

  Entering the White Jade Palace, but seeing that the interior is not as imagined with gold and jade brilliance, instead it is filled with the fragrance of books everywhere.

  Especially in the guest room, the simple and elegant wooden furniture, the majestic and elegant screen, the artistic potted plants, and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, it seems to have entered a national master's study.

  Li Xie and Ge Rite Wangzi sat facing each other, the steward ordered tea to be served and then disappeared from view, but two servants attended on one side.

  The two men waited for ten minutes, but the Kochi branch president still hadn't come out. Li Xie was chatting with Prince Ge Rite, who was ignoring him. Bored, Li Xie took his tea cup and walked to the wall, sipping his tea while looking at the calligraphy and paintings on it.

  The paintings on the wall were all landscape paintings. Li Xie had a little knowledge of painting, but he only knew that looking at the paintings on the wall gave him an immersive feeling and couldn't judge whether they were good or bad.

  As for calligraphy, Li Xie can recognize characters but is not good at writing them, so he can only look at them and cannot appreciate the inner meaning.

  But the poem on the wall, Li Ye understood a bit of it, and shook his head three times!

  It's a pity that such a person as Ke Qishi can hang these paintings, calligraphy and poems on the wall of the living room. These paintings, Li Xie can tell are good paintings; the calligraphy, Li Xie can also tell is good calligraphy! But these poems, even an unknown poem from the Tang or Song dynasty would have more artistic conception than those on the wall!

  Look at that ordinary poem: "Jade and gold are piled up, the official is again revered, disaster comes suddenly and becomes empty. Where is the glory and wealth now, no different from a dream in Nanke." It was still framed and hung on the wall behind the main seat, Li Xie felt strange.

  Those Chinese people who crossed over to the Continent of Gods forcibly instilled Chinese culture into the Continent of Gods, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. The foundation should not be inferior to that of China on Earth, so why is this poem so ordinary?

  Does the evil duke also like poetry and painting?

  Ke Qishi walked in from the inner door and saw Li Xie looking at the calligraphy on the wall with a focused expression, and smiled as he asked this.

  "Take a look occasionally." Li Xie responded with a sentence, turned around and saw that Ke Qishi had changed into a new set of clothes. He must have gone to take a hot bath and maybe even had lunch. It took him a full hour, making Li Xie sigh at his huge attitude.

  "Does Lord Korch know me?" Li Xie realized that Sandor Korch called him Duke Ye. Before this, Li Xie had never met Sandor Korch, and just now he only mentioned his name without introducing himself.

  Gerd, the prince next to him, looked at Li Xie in surprise, while Koci, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, sat down on the main seat and smiled: "As the president of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, it is necessary to understand some basic information about people with assets over 1 billion. The White Jade Palace is not a place that can be entered casually, only those with assets over 500 million gold coins have the qualification to enter the Van Gogh Manor and come to the White Jade Palace. What does Duke Xie think?"

  Li Ye shrugged his shoulders, knowing it was fine and didn't need to introduce himself anymore. He sat down and directly got to the point: "I heard that Branch President is doing a monster business, I came here to buy some, do you know how much stock does Branch President have?"

  "What a coincidence?" Prince Ge Rite sneered, his eyes provocatively staring at Li Xie: "I also want to buy a demon beast, I wonder if the president has any available for sale?"

  Li Xie probably also guessed that Ge Rite Wangzi wanted to make him look bad in the monster trade.

  Originally, Li Xie didn't have to pay attention to these provocations. Although he came here to buy a demon beast, his real intention was just to meet with Sandol Kocius. If there's a suitable demon beast, he'll buy it; if not, then so be it.

  After all, Li Xie has 500 million gold coins with Jack, and he only has 50 million gold coins on him. If he really wants to buy a demon beast, the low-level ones are fine, but the high-level ones are a bit tight. Moreover, equipping tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people in an army is not something that can be done with just one purchase.

  However, the provocateur is a person from the Great Day Dynasty, and that's different! Prince Gideon buying the demon beast back must be to equip his troops. The Great Day Dynasty is about to attack the Tudor Dynasty, and the demon beast being bought by them will only increase their strength and speed up their attack on Tudor. How can he let him buy it?

  In response to Ge Rite's provocative gaze, Li Ye raised the corner of his mouth on the right side and let out a cat-like meow: "Meow..."

  At this terrifying sound, Prince Gilderoy was startled and shook with fear!

  Sándor Kocsis smiled and looked at the two of them, saying: "It seems that you two are very well-informed. I just got a batch of magic beasts, and you two came."

  "Oh?" Prince Gerd's eyes lit up and he hastily asked: "How many levels? How many in number?"

  "Five-tiered demon beasts three thousand heads, six-tiered demon beasts one thousand heads."

  Li Xie's eyes lit up too!

  Even Mercedes' seventh reserve had only 5,000 fifth-tier magical beasts, and there were only 1,000 sixth-tier magical beasts!

  Sándor Kocsis was able to summon almost as many as the number of reserve magical beasts of the Tudor dynasty!

  "Market price! I'll take it all!" Prince Ge Rite spoke before Li Xie could even open his mouth, and directly offered to buy everything. Looks like he's a rich and arrogant customer.

  "How much?" Li Xie asked further.

  Sándor Kocsis chuckled: "Fifth-level demon beast, 50,000 gold coins per head, sixth-level demon beast, 150,000 gold coins per head. I'll deliver the goods to your doorstep."

  50,000 gold coins for a 5th-tier head? 3,000 heads wouldn't that be 1.5 billion gold coins? 150,000 for a 6th-tier head, 1,000 6th-tier heads, would also be 1.5 billion gold coins!

  Three billion gold coins!

  Although Li Xie's family assets are counted in hundreds of millions, when it comes to things that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, this little body still can't help but be meticulous and frugal.

  After all, Li Xie's small body can still bear it.

  "I'll take them all too." Li Xie threw a cold smile at Ge Rituo Wangzi: "We all want, who will Ke Qishi sell to?"

  Actually, Li Xie didn't need to ask and already knew how to handle it next. It's a business deal, after all - the highest bidder wins!

  It's just that I'm asking to see Sandor Clegane's reaction, to see if there's another way! If the highest bidder wins, Li Xie knows he may not be a match for Prince Gared, who is representing the royal family to buy the demon beast, while Li Xie is using his own private property.

  Sándor Kocsis, the old god, was sipping tea and said faintly: "These 4,000 magical beasts, I'll only deliver to one side. It's best if you two can negotiate a deal. Hmm, I only accept cash, no credit."

  Prince Geirt seemed quite experienced and immediately spoke up: "I'll add ten thousand gold."

  Ten thousand gold?

  It's not saying the total price is 10,000 gold, but rather the unit price plus 10,000 gold coins! That would be a price of 60,000 and 160,000!

  Li Xie's abacus couldn't help but be used again, this one mouthful of price increase, 4,000 magical beasts would cost 340 million! That is to say, opening his mouth once would require an additional payment of 40 million!

  "I'll add another ten thousand!" Li Xie said fiercely.

  Even if Li Xie spent all 500 million gold coins on his body, he still couldn't let Prince Ge Rite get these demon beasts.

  Gideon Prince smiled easily: "I'll add another ten thousand!"

  "Whoa, it's already 4 billion and 200 million! I can only shout a couple more times!"

  "I'll add 200,000 more!" Li Xie hesitated for a moment, then came to a decision! He only had 500 million gold coins on hand, so he directly called out the price: 100,000 gold coins per fifth-tier beast, 200,000 gold coins per sixth-tier beast, and 4,000 magical beasts for 5 billion!

  If Prince Guderian raises his price again, he will be in trouble.

  Gerd Wangzi's expression was relaxed: "I'll add another 20,000. I don't have much money on me either, just want to see how much the evil duke brought."

  Grandma's breasts! ?

  Damn it!

  Think I don't have much money, right?!

  Li's evil intentions arose from his heart, and the corner of his mouth on the right side curled up: "I'll add another 30,000!"
