Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 820 - 413: Debt Collection! Fairness! (Part 2)

Old Master Zheng is a typical businessman, so he approaches everything from a businessman's perspective.

The others stared blankly at Lin Beichen, their eyes filled with confusion.

Even though they didn't know what had transpired before, they were slowly starting to catch on.

Zheng Yaxin owed Lin Beichen a large sum of money, and everything stemmed from this debt.

Given this, as long as the money is paid, there shouldn't be any insurmountable obstacles.

Why does Lin Beichen seem so unwilling to compromise?

It's worth noting that the Zheng Clan, although just a capitalist family, could unleash power far beyond finances if they were to go all out.

The resources they can mobilize are vast, enough for even the authorities to make concessions.

The Zheng Clan is intertwined with numerous aspects of life for millions on Xiang Island.

In terms of strength, not even a thousand members of the Zheng Clan could match one Zhou Kuangtian. But in terms of influence on Xiang Island, even ten Zhou Kuangtians couldn't rival a single Zheng Clan.

However, Lin Beichen's expression remained calm, looking indifferently at the other party, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"I am a person who values fairness. In everything I do, I emphasize fairness. Moreover, I am someone who always avenges my grievances."

"Before I came to Xiang Island, this debt was only ten billion. If you give me that ten billion now, I will leave without another word.

But since I arrived on Xiang Island, both you, Zheng Yaxin, and the Zheng Clan have stalled for time, even falsely accusing me, and later you even sent officials to assassinate me, with Zhou Kuangtian intervening!"

As Lin Beichen spoke, he extended a finger, symbolizing an additional amount to the debt.

"Life is priceless, and hatred knows no bounds. Do you think you can settle everything with a few stinking dollars?"

Lin Beichen laughed coldly, the chill in his eyes flashing once again.

"Since you're unwilling to pay, it's not all that troublesome. You took my Immortal Elixir and managed to live a few extra days. I won't demand interest from you, but the effects of the medicine in your body can't remain."

After saying this, Lin Beichen pointed a finger at Old Master Zheng.

It seemed a ripple had formed in the void.

Old Master Zheng's face grew even paler, even turning a little blue.

Previously, though his complexion was not good, he still had a bit of vitality. But with Lin Beichen's finger, he seemed to have been drained of energy, his once robust visage suddenly becoming extremely forlorn. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With a thud.

Old Master Zheng collapsed heavily into the wheelchair, panting, drenched in sweat, his eyes filled with a grayish hue symbolizing death.

In just a few seconds, Old Master Zheng gasped a couple of times, seemingly wanting to say something, but then closed his eyes and fell into unconsciousness.

The Zheng Clan members were shocked and rushed forward.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"

"Grandfather, are you alright?"

"Grandfather, don't scare me. You were fine just moments ago; why did you suddenly pass out?"

The family hastily approached, attaching various instruments to the old gentleman. But when they were about to examine him, they were suddenly stunned.

Old Master Zheng's body had already grown cold.

Old Master Zheng had died quietly...

Everyone was dumbstruck, looking at Old Master Zheng in disbelief.

Just days ago, this old gentleman had miraculously recovered, having crossed the threshold of life and death. The top medical team considered it a miracle, thinking the old man could live at least another decade, yet only a few days later, he died without warning.

Countless eyes turned to Lin Beichen, terrified.

Could this man be an Immortal?

Why else would it happen that with just a gesture, the old man would lose all vitality?

Yet Lin Beichen ignored the gazes, coldly staring at Zheng Yaxin.

During his battle with Zhou Kuangtian, the Zheng Clan had rescued Zheng Yaxin.

After sleeping overnight in a tent and having a delightful meal, Zheng Yaxin looked radiant, like a supermodel on the runway once more.

Countless people were captivated by her beauty and charisma.

Nevertheless, Lin Beichen disregarded her beauty and pointed his finger again.

Zheng Yaxin felt sheer terror, her soul almost leaving her body, nearly falling to her knees.

At that moment, Lin Beichen's voice resounded.

"You've wasted much of my time. As punishment, I will take away half your Life Force. Cherish what little lifespan you have left and don't do anything foolish."

With a gentle point of Lin Beichen's finger, a breeze encircled Zheng Yaxin.

Zheng Yaxin suddenly exclaimed, feeling the breeze envelop her, and her body involuntarily began to spin.

With each turn, her body gained a wrinkle, her hair a strand of gray, and her complexion worsened.

In mere seconds, Zheng Yaxin transformed from a young beauty into an elderly, frail woman.

When she landed back on the ground, she was bent and out of shape.

Coughing violently, her body trembled; even her breathing was rapid.

Zheng Yaxin seemed on the verge of death!

The sight chilled everyone to the bone, filling them with utter fear.

Lin Beichen was indeed an Immortal.

He not only controlled life and death but could directly extract someone's Life Force.

What could be more terrifying than this?

Death, the fairest thing of all.

No matter how high a person's status or wealth, they cannot escape death.

The legendary Death Gate Realm is unpredictable; no amount of talent can guarantee it without luck.

At this moment, everyone was overshadowed by the concept of death.

Now, this abstract threat had become concentrated on one person.

One finger replaced all pale words, hovering over everyone's hearts.

Members of the Zheng Clan looked at Lin Beichen in terror.

"The Zheng Clan owes me ten billion. I don't take a dime more. That money is mine, and I only take what I'm owed. As for the rest, use it as you please; it's none of my concern."

Lin Beichen said indifferently.

His voice not only reached the ears of the Zheng Clan members but also echoed in the minds of everyone in Jiulong Mountain.

In everyone's mind, a thought crossed.

Is Lin Beichen encouraging them?

If Lin Beichen only wants ten billion, it means others can take the leftover money.

With the old master dead, the Zheng Clan is bound to fall into chaos.

If Lin Beichen isn't taking the rest, isn't it evident he's gifting them this piece of the pie?

In an instant, a sense of sly delight welled up in everyone's hearts.

The smart ones began plotting how to enjoy this pie, while the smartest of them contemplated not only enjoying the pie but also forming a good relationship with Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen indeed claimed he only wanted ten billion, but he hadn't said he wouldn't accept gifts from others.

They could swallow a large portion of the pie and give a part to Lin Beichen. In doing so, not only would they build a good relationship with Lin Beichen, but they'd also have his mighty backing to ward off retaliation from others.

The Zheng Clan's pie was so big, consuming even a small bite would let them earn handsomely.

Moreover, having witnessed Lin Beichen's power firsthand, the Zheng Clan's wealth hardly mattered to them anymore.

Even if they handed the entire estate to Lin Beichen, establishing a good relationship with him in return would be a worthwhile deal.

Lin Beichen, with just three moves, completely disintegrated the Zheng Clan.

With Old Master Zheng gone, the backbone of the Zheng Clan disappeared, and internal strife was inevitable.

In fact, even before Old Master Zheng's incident, plans for splitting the family were already in motion within the Zheng Clan.

Without Lin Beichen's Elixir of prolonged life, how many factions would the Zheng Clan have split into?

Lin Beichen's Elixir originally saved the Zheng Clan, but because of greed, they squandered this chance and invited an even bigger crisis.
