Chapter 395: Chapter 107: I Don’t Need Others to Like Me! As Long As They Fear Me, That’s Enough

As for the low price, there’s no need to worry about that at all.

It’s not like the Bai family doesn’t have other ways to make money.

If they make less here, they can easily earn it back elsewhere.

The most important thing is still a chance to cooperate.

As long as they establish a partnership with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, on the surface, the Bai family can claim the backing of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Even if others want to move against the Zhao family, they’ll have to think twice.

The Zhao family didn’t treasure this.

But that doesn’t mean the Bai family won’t value it.

"But,,"

There were still some who hesitated.

Almost all of them were old and decrepit, elderly with considerable prestige within the clan.

This Patriarch of the Bai family hadn’t been in power for long. Even though he was capable, he couldn’t shake these old fossils in such a short time.

"Why don’t you all think about this—a Patriarch like Zhao Xingjin was a Grandmaster. So the Embroidered Uniform Guard that could kill the Patriarch of the Zhao family, what kind of level would they be at? If you can build ties with such a powerhouse, so what if it costs a bit of money?"

",,,"

As expected.

As soon as these words came out, many people reacted.

That’s right.

Getting a chance to connect with such a strong figure wasn’t something that happened every day.

A few old antiques, after hearing this, who were still hesitating, immediately nodded in agreement.

"In that case, let’s leave this matter to the Patriarch!"

"Indeed, for something like this, it’s best for the Patriarch to step forward!"

As they spoke, they directly pushed this matter onto the Patriarch.

After all.

As long as you weren’t an idiot, you could clearly see that when these Embroidered Uniform Guards wiped out the Zhao family without a word, it proved they weren’t any gentle souls. If they said something wrong by accident—

And pissed off the other side—

The other side could slap them to death, and they’d have nowhere even to run.

So.

Even if, if the matter succeeded, it would be a huge benefit for the Bai family,

they still didn’t have the guts to step forward personally.

With the Patriarch present, it was only natural that they’d push the whole thing onto him.

",,,"

As for this situation, the Bai family’s Patriarch seemed to have expected it long ago.

His expression didn’t change much; he only let out a cold snort. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A bunch of old geezers who only want to enjoy the fruits without offering the slightest thought for the family’s sake—he had wanted to get rid of them for a long time.

Unfortunately.

He hadn’t been in power for long.

But so what—sooner or later, he’d kick all these useless freeloaders out of the Bai family.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll handle this myself!"

He spoke in a calm tone.

Saying he wasn’t nervous at all would obviously be a lie.

Fortunately, his mindset was steady enough; on the surface, no one could see a thing off.

"My lord!"

Inside the Zhao family mansion, all the bodies that had been lying around haphazardly had long since been piled up neatly in one spot.

At this moment,

crates of jewels were set out in the courtyard, as well as a fair number of pills—this was all the Zhao family’s stored wealth.

"My lord, the Zhao family really had a lot of pills stored up. Even with so many of us, if we split them, there’d be enough for several lifetimes."

Once pills reach a certain quantity, or you reach a certain realm, they’re basically useless.

So even after splitting them into many shares, there were still plenty left in their hands.

Ye Liuyun casually took the ledger from Si Nan’s hand.

This contained the list of pills stored by the Zhao family.

With so many pills, without a list, it’d be a pain to sort it all out.

Scanning over it, there were quite a few valuable pills.

Some were even useful for a Grandmaster like Ye Liuyun—a pill of that level was truly rare.

"What pills? How come I didn’t know the Zhao family had a pill cache?"

As he spoke,

Ye Liuyun casually flipped his hand. The eerie green Nether Bone Fire ignited in Ye Liuyun’s palm.

And in that moment, the list was incinerated.

With a wave of his hand, the ashes scattered to the wind. Ye Liuyun’s tone was utterly casual as he spoke.

"The Zhao family’s pills have all been sold, haven’t they? Not a single pill is left in storage."

",,,"

No one here was an idiot.

Especially Si Nan, who froze for a second, and whose eyes instantly lit up afterwards.

He hurriedly nodded at Ye Liuyun.

"Right, right, right! Exactly, there isn’t a single pill—none at all! We didn’t see a thing!"

Every time the Embroidered Uniform Guard made a move, there was paperwork to be filed afterward. Officially, in such household raids, all seized goods were supposed to be confiscated for the state.

But in reality, most people just paid lip service.

Just as Ye Liuyun was doing now.

Pills? What pills? I don’t know anything about any pills in the Zhao family.

The other Embroidered Uniform Guard nearby, realizing what Ye Liuyun was implying, each had expressions that visibly brightened with excitement.

Sometimes, these pills were even more valuable than gold.

"Alright, that’s enough!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand nonchalantly.

And said directly,

"Same rule as always—everyone takes a share!"

He didn’t care about these bits and pieces; there was no need to keep everything for himself.

Exactly because of this generosity, Ye Liuyun had an excellent reputation among the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and many of them were willing to put their lives on the line for him.

In this line of work,

who isn’t doing it for the money? As long as there’s profit, who’d turn it down?

"Yes, my lord!"
