Chapter 478: The Luck of the Mu Family
Daoist Master Chenxin raised his head and looked at Mu Tianxiong with an arrogant attitude, "I’m not one to brag, but Patriarch Mu, based on the fortune-telling I’ve done for the Mu Family, within half a year, there might no longer be a Mu Family presence in the Capital. I am sure you’ve heard of how accurate my predictions are. Don’t think I’m alarming you with exaggerated fears."
Mu Tianxiong smiled awkwardly and said, "Daoist Master Chenxin, what are you talking about? You’re known throughout the Capital as the Divine Calculator, how could I not believe what you say? Indeed, our Mu Family is facing some difficulties recently, we have encountered a lot of troubling affairs, and I am genuinely worried."
Daoist Master Chenxin let out a cold snort, extended five fingers, and said, "For fifty percent of your family’s properties, I can work to change your family’s fortune. I always keep my word; after my intervention, your Mu Family will surely rise. Asking for half of your properties is only reasonable, and I believe Patriarch Mu understands this."
Mu Tianxiong was shocked at heart, thinking, why don’t you just rob us directly? Right off the bat, you want fifty percent of the Mu Family’s properties; do you think it was easy for me to fight for and build up the Mu Family’s empire over these long years?
He maintained his smile and said, "Daoist Master Chenxin, everyone has seen how you can change fortunes, and indeed, many families in the Capital have been saved by your hands; this is an indisputable fact. However, it hasn’t been easy for our Mu Family to get where we are today. Don’t you think asking for fifty percent is a bit too much?"
Daoist Master Chenxin slammed the table with force and exclaimed, "What, you think my skills aren’t worth fifty percent of the Mu Family’s properties?"
Mu Tianxiong hastily said, "No, no, not at all, I just mean..."
Daoist Master Chenxin stared coldly at Mu Tianxiong, "Just what? Just reluctant to part with these family properties? But think it through carefully; only with my help does your Mu Family have any chance of surviving. And once your Mu Family goes bankrupt, no matter how many properties you have, it will all be in vain."
