Chapter 607 - 606: Where’s the Sincerity?
Taking a deep breath, several Family Heads approached the people of Creek Valley Village and bowed deeply, "Fellow villagers, we are truly sorry. The incident in Creek Valley Village was a mistake committed by the Seven Great Families, and we will do our utmost to make amends. We... we will give a hundred billion to all of you, as a small token of our apology!"
The villagers of Creek Valley Village were all at a loss, just honest and ordinary folks. If it weren’t for the intrusion of the Seven Great Families, they would still be living their simple lives.
Now, the Family Heads of the Seven Great Families had come before them to apologize, and put forth a number that they could not even begin to imagine. How could they react?
As they spoke, they were also stealthily observing Su Yang, watching his expressions. A hundred billion was truly not a small amount, but who knew whether it would even catch Su Yang’s eye?
Indeed, a flicker of coldness passed over Su Yang’s face. The color drained from the faces of the several men, and Feng Beiche, leading the group, hurriedly said, "We... we will give one hundred and fifty billion!"
The others felt a pang in their hearts. Although the Seven Great Families were powerful and had made a lot of money with the backing of the River God Sect, one hundred and fifty billion was still a massive number for them.
However, the expression on Su Yang’s face remained icy, as if he was quite dissatisfied.
Panic settled in the hearts of the men. One hundred and fifty billion—a sum the Seven Great Families would have to scrape together by selling off everything they had. And still, Su Yang was not satisfied? How much was he expecting?
"Two hundred billion!" Feng Beiche finally said through gritted teeth, the largest figure the Seven Great Families could offer. To put forward so much money would empty out the Seven Great Families completely, likely forcing them to sell off everything they owned.
