Chapter 2015 Helping You to Rise to the Top

Chu Zifeng and more than 20 members of the Chu family all surrendered, and more than 20 mercenaries also knelt on the ground, but they were unwilling to put down their weapons and surrender.

These mercenaries asked Ye Tianlong to let them go. In return, they would not avenge Chang Snake, Zhan Hu, and Holy Fire.

Ye Tianlong knew that mercenaries were only interested in profit and knew that they would not sacrifice their lives for worthless people, especially the dead.

So he happily agreed to give the mercenaries a way to survive, but Ye Tianlong added a condition, which was to defeat the elite Chu family who came to rescue them.

For this reason, Ye Tianlong was willing to give each of them $100,000.

More than two dozen mercenaries readily agreed, and just as hundreds of Chu reinforcements arrived at the foot of the mountain, they took up weapons and went to snipe these hundreds of people at the foot of the mountain.

The mercenaries have accurate marksmanship and powerful firepower, but the Chu family's reinforcements are also elite, and each one is eager to be a savior, so the conflict is very fierce.

This battle can be described as a river of blood and hell on earth.

The twenty-five mercenaries fought until only three wounded were left, and almost two hundred of Chu's reinforcements fell, and they had to evacuate from the foot of the manor.

Zhehua led the golden warriors to pursue the victory and defeated the 200 evacuated people again, completely defeating the Chu family's intention to rescue Chu Zifeng.

Canshou gave three mercenaries one hundred thousand dollars each, all in colorful cash. Ye Tianlong released them as promised and returned the money.

As for whether they can go back safely with a large bag of banknotes, I don’t know...

When the Chu family's elite were defeated, Ye Tianlong was sitting on the big round table of Crescent Moon Villa, drinking English afternoon tea leisurely.

Opposite him, Chu Zifeng sat with a pale face. The situation was over, his heart was mostly dead, and the arrogant look he had in the past would never return.

Not only did they lose the entire manor today and three mercenary leaders died, but hundreds of Chu's team members in the Horse Kingdom were also maimed.

Chu Zifeng knew that he no longer had a foothold in the Chu family, and might even be used by his father to appease the top brass of the Chu family.

"Master Chu, congratulations on surviving."

Ye Tianlong smiled: "Maybe you feel like a failure, but you are still alive after all, which is much better than the dead, so don't look grim."

Chu Zifeng slowly raised his head, feeling a lot of unwillingness and grievance. He wanted to yell a few times but finally held back. What can a loser do if he is unwilling to give in?

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, Ye Tianlong, I admit defeat today, I will kill or hack you as you please."

Chu Zifeng's eyes burst with pride: "I just hope you can leave me some dignity so that I can die with dignity."

"Save some dignity? Do you think losers have dignity?"

Ye Tianlong took a sip of black tea and said: "King Gou Jian of Yue is considered a monarch. If he fails, he will still wash the toilet and be thrown mud."

"You want to die with dignity, no joke."

Ye Tianlong said in a desperate tone: "I won't give you any dignity."

Chu Zifeng's face changed drastically: "Then what do you want? Torture me to satisfy your abnormal psychology? So that you can show off better in front of Han Jing?"

Ye Tianlong took a teacup and poured a cup of tea for Chu Zifeng: "Since ancient times, all dignity and respect have to be earned by oneself."

"Either you become stronger, or you give something in exchange."

Ye Tianlong reminded: "Your strength has been stepped on by me, and now the rest depends on whether you have a sincere exchange."

Chu Zifeng's voice dropped: "What do you want to do? Want me to betray my father or the Chu family? I tell you, there is no way, I will not bow down even if I die."

"I won't bow down even if I die."

Ye Tianlong sneered: "If you were really brave and unafraid of death, you wouldn't have knelt down just now, but would have charged to your death with the snake."

"You chose to kneel down, which shows that you want to survive. This survival is more important than your face, dignity and family."

Ye Tianlong hit Chu Zifeng unceremoniously: "If I give you a knife now, you won't wipe off your own neck."

Chu Zifeng's face turned ugly for a moment, and then he shouted: "Ye Tianlong, you are humiliating me."

Ye Tianlong pushed the tea in front of him: "I didn't humiliate you, I just helped you see your heart clearly and let you know what you are thinking."

"Master Chu, we are all smart people, so stop beating around the bush."

"I want you to know everything, including the thirty thousand kilograms of gold reserves, and your father's current whereabouts."

Chu Zifeng wanted to speak, but Ye Tianlong stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't refuse righteously, I still haven't said a word."

"Your trip to Tiandu failed, and today you lost the Apollo Manor and the Chu family's gold reserves. You are already a sinner in the Chu family."

"If you lose 30,000 kilograms of gold... you can't stand up at all."

"Even if I don't kill you and let you go, you won't have a good home. Your position will probably be inferior to that of your sister."

Ye Tianlong reminded Chu Zifeng: "Although you are the eldest son of the Chu family, the interests of the Chu family have always come first."

Chu Zifeng's expression was slightly stagnant, and there was still a trace of struggle in his eyes. There was no doubt that this was a question that worried him.

"If I tell you those things, wouldn't it make it even more unacceptable?"

Chu Zifeng showed a sense of self-mockery: "Then he will no longer be a sinner, but a traitor."

"How can you be a traitor when you hand over the gold to me?"

Ye Tianlong smiled, walked to Chu Zifeng and patted him on the shoulder: "That's called a gift to the new master of Tianmen."

"I will take these gold and valuable clues as a gift from you for ascending to my position."

"I will also favor you more and make you the new King of Chu."

"You said, you are the new King of Chu, who among the Chu family dares to say no to you?"

Ye Tianlong's smile was very playful: "Resisting you is rebelling against me, rebelling against Tianmen, and being a traitor."

When Chu Zifeng heard this, his right hand trembled, and most of the tea spilled. His fingers were burned red, but he didn't care. He just looked at Ye Tianlong in shock:

"What did you say?"

Ye Tianlong said softly: "I said, I don't like your father. He should retire. I think you are suitable for the position of King of Chu."

Chu Zifeng's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Ye Tianlong with complicated eyes. He never thought that he would throw out such a temptation.

Chu Zifeng, who thought he would lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die, felt mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Ye Tianlong had something in mind, but he couldn't suppress his heartbeat.

No need to die, no need to be tortured, and he can be the King of Chu appointed by Ye Tianlong in advance. Most importantly, he doesn't have to kill his father to replace him.

Chu Zifeng felt his breathing was rapid.

"Young Master Ye, the King of Wei is here."

At this time, Can Shou walked in from outside and said respectfully: "He wants to see you."

Ye Tianlong smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter if Young Master Chu doesn't say it. The King of Wei knows that you have 30,000 kilograms of gold, so he naturally knows where they are hidden."

"Compared to supporting you to become the King of Chu, it is better to give 5,000 kilograms to the King of Wei."

He waved to Can Shou: "Let the King of Wei in."

"Wait a minute!"

Chu Zifeng bit his lip and said: "I'll take you to the vault."

Ye Tianlong smiled and said: "Thank you, King Chu, for leading the way."
