Chapter 1186 - 1185: A Losing Deal
Hearing Tang Rao express pity for Qin Qing, Bai Tang clapped his hands and stepped out."Want to play the hero saving the damsel? No need. Brother, if you can take this woman away, I'll give you as many Purple Crystals as you want, just so she won't pester me."
Is this something a person would say? Tang Rao never dared to be so arrogant.
"Really, you'll give me as many Purple Crystals as I want, and you won't regret it?"
Tang Rao loved being asked this question. If someone offered as many Purple Crystals as he wanted, naturally, the more the better.
"How about giving me forty million grams?"
Last time buying someone cost four thousand grams, and now Tang Rao asked for a sky-high price.
"No bargaining."
It seemed this was the only way to truly anger Bai Tang.
"Kid, are you playing me?"
Bai Tang realized he was being toyed with by Tang Rao.
"Forty million grams? My whole Helping Hands Hall doesn't have that many Purple Crystals. Do you expect me to rob or steal?"
Killer intent filled Bai Tang's eyes.
"If that's possible, I don't mind if you use such methods, as long as you can gather enough Purple Crystals."
Some wanted to see Tang Rao's shamelessness, and Tang Rao didn't mind putting on a show.
"You..."
Bai Tang was defeated by this shameless man.
"Qin Qing, people here clearly don't welcome you. How about we build a house nearby and live there? I think relationships develop gradually. Good love needs patience; you can wait at his door every day, right?"
Expecting Tang Rao to advise Qin Qing without offering Purple Crystals, was such a good thing even possible?
"Mm."
Qin Qing cooperated at this moment.
Every day at the gate of Helping Hands Hall, when kind-hearted people asked Qin Qing, she'd say the heartless Bai Tang wronged her. The Divine Realm isn't very large; rumor spreads quickly, and soon, Bai Tang of Helping Hands Hall would become famous.
"Let me tell you, don't force me, just a mere woman, what can she do to me?"
Bai Tang's soft approach failed, so he could resort to force, believing one day Qin Qing would relent.
"Oh dear, someone might get killed! They say the hall master of Helping Hands Hall has some status in the Divine Realm, yet he doesn't spare a weak woman. I heard the Inspector is coming soon; then I'll have the Inspector uphold justice."
Tang Rao truly confronted Bai Tang.
Inspector?
Just hearing the name made Bai Tang retreat two steps.
Tang Rao guessed right; the bullies fear the truly shameless.
"Ten thousand Purple Crystals, take this woman away, and let's consider this matter closed. That's all I can offer, take it or leave it."
Bai Tang was infuriated. The Inspector holds a special position in the Divine Realm, often handling matters across realms, especially those of the strong oppressing the weak.
Bai Tang was a typical example of the strong oppressing the weak.
"Ten thousand Purple Crystals, Qin Qing, do you think it's enough?"
No amount of Purple Crystals would be useful for Tang Rao, so he asked Qin Qing.
"Not enough!"
Qin Qing answered decisively.
"Bai Tang put in a lot of effort to cheat the Qin Family's wealth. He took much more than ten thousand just from my family. Since we're tearing the facade, I want back everything that's mine."
Dating Bai Tang, and she ends up subsidizing him?
Indeed, those with vast wealth and power do things differently.
"What cheating your family's wealth? You voluntarily gave me those things. How is it cheating? Qin Qing, be fair with your words."
When Bai Tang discussed fairness, his actions were quite ludicrous.
"When Helping Hands Hall had cash flow issues, you took my ten thousand Purple Crystals, shouldn't you repay that first?"
Ten thousand?
Was Qin Qing insane?
Tang Rao wanted to crack open Qin Qing's head to see what was inside.
Giving a man ten thousand so casually.
Sigh... encountering such a generous and devoted woman, he'd laugh himself awake in his dreams.
"Ten thousand? You voluntarily gave it to me. We were supposed to be family, no need for repayment, how can you ask for it back now?"
Tang Rao clenched his fist; he'd never met someone more shameless than Bai Tang.
No amount of words helped, Qin Qing, upset by Bai Tang, trembled with anger.
"If not, then today, let's perish together!"
Qin Qing, having come this far, might as well go all in; she deserved to calmly and comfortably present her side to Bai Tang, right?
With that, Qin Qing lunged at Bai Tang in a fight.
"Qin Qing, you crazy woman, are you seeking death!"
Bai Tang, however he dealt with others, approached either stealthily or openly, all strategic. Qin Qing, being a woman, resorted to scratching and pulling hair and neck, and already left several marks on Bai Tang's face due to her quick speed.
"Come on, kill me. Only then will the Qin Family have eternal enmity with your Helping Hands Hall, if you dare!"
Qin Qing's words left no room for doubt; harm her, and you oppose the entire Qin Family.
Even Bai Tang of Helping Hands Hall dared not take the risk.
He quickly composed himself, reining in his fury.
"Qin Qing, you're ruthless. I'll give you five thousand Purple Crystals at most. Take it or leave it. As for giving all, that's beyond my ability."
Bai Tang thought, that's all he could spare. If they wanted to fight to the death, he wouldn't mind.
Qin Qing glanced at Tang Rao, then at Bai Tang, and said, "Fine, five thousand!"
Losing five thousand but retrieving five thousand, the lost five could be considered feeding the dogs, couldn't it?
"Five thousand? Qin Qing, you're so willing to suffer loss?"
If Tang Rao lost five thousand, he'd surely take the other's life.
"I don't want to, but you see, I've known a shameless man, what else can I do?"
Qin Qing, if not desperate, wouldn't have settled for five thousand Purple Crystals and chosen to let go.
"There's actually another way, like taking his life and claiming the entire Helping Hands Hall for yourself."
With that, Tang Rao took advantage of Bai Tang's distraction and launched a rapid, powerful attack.
"Tang Rao's father will show you what tit for tat means, what bullying the weak is."
He wasn't a strong individual, but to fight for Qin Qing's dignity, he'd beat Bai Tang to a pulp.
"Tang Rao, it's best to leave it, let's catch our breath."
The relationship between Qin Qing and Tang Rao was shaky, only connected due to Qin Fen.
If Tang Rao got hurt because of Qin Qing, how guilty would Qin Qing feel?
"The fight's on, and now you want me to stop? That bastard will surely retaliate. Might as well let me enjoy the full beatdown."
This is what a true man should do. At this point, Tang Rao's aura immediately expanded to three meters seven.
