Qu Jianlei's words left Kester speechless.

Does it make sense? It does make sense, but if you can't beat it... who the hell cares what you are beeping about? Ultimate Warrior, a member of the Hedley family, couldn't help it, "Sir Jian Lei, we really don't mean to be disrespectful to you!"

"We didn't know at all before that it was you who killed Bonk's family... Now that you suddenly say this, we feel a little aggrieved."

Qu Jianlei smiled coldly when he heard this, "No matter how wronged you are, can you be more wronged than the Benjamin family?"

"What have they done wrong to deserve their families being destroyed?"

"You can rely on your own strength to do whatever you want... If you encounter this kind of thing, is it aggrieved?"

"To put it bluntly, what I do is much more reasonable than you guys!"

Qu Jianlei is just not good at communicating with people, but he is still very good at teasing people.

Once he has an attack, others don't dare to say anything. No one wants to end up like Benjamin's family.

After waiting for a while, Kester sighed, "Then tell me, how to compensate?"

Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "One hundred times the original price... No bargaining will be accepted."

Kester heard this, his expression changed completely, "Is this... twenty million yuan Silver Coin?"

Thirty-Six Families, I don't just say it casually, Hedley Family does have a lot of assets.

All the family's assets combined, not to mention 20 million, can be spent on 200 million - 2 billion may not be enough.

But all assets are the sum of the properties of all family members, many of which are private property belonging to the members, not public property.

Kester Although he is Rank B Warrior, he is also known as one in the family, but... is it appropriate to take away the private property of the clan members? For public property, 20 million would be absolutely taxing, and it would take time and selling off some properties to get it together.

But what's even more embarrassing is that 20 million is not enough to cope with the current crisis.

After thinking about it, Kester sighed, "Item-Storing Talisman's price... Jian Lei, please tell me."

Hearing what he said, some people showed anger on their faces.

Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said calmly, "I told you to make an offer, but you must be sincere."

Kester pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Item-Storing Talisman has different sizes, and the prices vary greatly... How about ten million?"

He did not dare to ask how much space the other party held in Item-Storing Talisman. This question was too taboo.

Xiao Moshan snorted coldly, "I'll give you 10 million, and you can buy me a Item-Storing Talisman."

Kester shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Our family doesn't have such a way."

"Yes," Xiao Moshan replied confidently, "Item-Storing Talisman costs money, so doesn't the way of purchasing it count as money?"

What he said clearly drew on Qu Jianlei's ideas.

Kester was very dissatisfied, thinking Jian Lei and Item-Storing Talisman, I don't know where I picked it up.

He simply became frustrated and said, "If we have the means, we will have them... If we can buy one, we can buy two. We really have no means."

"Besides, I'm talking about the price of a brand new Item-Storing Talisman... this thing has a service life."

Xiao Moshan does not agree with his point of view: With the scarcity of Item-Storing Talisman, if you can buy one, you can buy the second one? Look how big your face is.

But it was a bit boring to worry about this at this time, so he decided to change his perspective.

"If Jian Lei hadn't been a bit capable, your son-in-law would have almost killed him... How much do you think Jian Lei's life is worth?"

Wasn't he killed? Kester thinks this question is particularly nonsense: one life is worth one life.

He replied with an apologetic smile, "How noble is Master Jian Lei's life? The entire Hedley Family cannot afford to pay compensation."

There was some wrangling in the middle, until daybreak, the two parties finalized the compensation amount: a total of 40 million yuan Silver Coin.

Qu Jianlei gave them ten days to raise funds, and the requirements must be Energy Block silver tickets, gold or crystals.

The next question is: What happened to Huang-character District?

Kester's answer is: I don't know what happened. My ancestors left a message not to mention this matter.

Otherwise, Hedley Family will not leave a single person alive! He was probably determined that if the other party wanted to charge 40 million Silver Coin, he would not fall out because he could not get the answer.

Huang-character District That is an old account, and there is no way it has anything to do with the current person. The other person should just be out of curiosity.

Seriously, if Jian Lei wants to kill all Hedley Family, the money he will get will not exceed 20 million.

Those real estates are really not something that wanted criminals can deal with. Even if Central City is pretending, he will not turn a blind eye.

Xiao Moshan guessed what he was thinking, and he sneered, "Do you think forty million is really a lot in our eyes?"

Kester's face darkened when he heard this, and he thought to himself: How could I have forgotten this? The other party robbed Canyon's warehouse! Finally, he answered bravely, "You must ask, I can only provide one word, have you ever heard of 'base'?"

"Base..." Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan exchanged looks.

Xiao Moshan thought about it and asked, "Is this matter related to the base?"

You really know it! Kester sighed inwardly, then Diandian nodded, "It is said... that this matter was operated by the base."

"Forget it," Xiao Moshan waved his hand and spoke calmly, "I won't ask this question anymore."

But what does this "base" mean? Kester was full of confusion, but he had to leave with the people.

On the way back, a clan member asked angrily, "Senior, the other party wants so much money and is so domineering... are we going to accept it?"

These people are the backbone of the family, and they know very well how much pressure 40 million Silver Coin will bring to the family.

Kester looked at the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "Do you think I am too weak?"

Some people said they dare not, while others said, "But Wen Lingdun... let alone this bastard, Talike is also dead!"

That Earth Attribute soldier couldn't get any treatment and died of blood loss. And it was right in front of everyone's eyes. Who could not be angry? "Fools don't deserve to live," Kester replied coldly.

It was a bit cold-blooded to describe family members in this way, but he knew very well that when managing a family, one cannot blindly focus on family ties.

When you should be cold, you must be cold, especially at this critical moment, you must put aside warmth!

"Douglas Family In the end, I can't find anyone to help me if I want to spend money. Do you still think that 40 million is expensive?"

After the Hedley family left, Black Panther flashed out and said, "If it's okay, I'll take my leave first."

He pretended that he didn't hear about the base and other topics, and didn't even dare to ask.

Qu Jianlei glanced sideways at Xiao Moshan and found that he was in a daze, too lazy to say anything else.

The next thing was handled fairly smoothly. Secret Pavilion came up with a lot of rare information, some of which Canyon really didn't have.

On the tenth day, the Hedley family collected 40 million in silver notes and took it with Silig and handed it over to Qu Jianlei.

Xiao Moshan actually asked, "Who took over those industries of the Douglas Family?"

Silig glanced at him speechlessly, "They were all taken away by those people, some were auctioned, and some were kept."

"I'm stupid..." Xiao Moshan couldn't help but bared his teeth when he heard this, "These guys have long hands."

Silig had no expression on his face, but he snorted in his heart: No matter how arrogant you are, you still have to hide when you hear Canyon?

What he didn't expect was that after the three received the money and left, the first thing they did when they returned to Tian-character District was to convene everyone for discussion.

Nutrient Cabin over at the base, do you want to do something about it? Among the five people participating in the discussion, except for Qu Jianlei and You You, the other three are disabled.

The result of the discussion was no surprise. Even You You said: In order to enhance the group's combat effectiveness, it is worth taking a risk.

But this time, Bentley can't go. Regardless of his disability, he is only a C-level person.

So it must still be a combination of Qu Jianlei, Xiao Moshan and You You.

They punished Canyon three notorious guys last time. They all had Canyon identities that they could impersonate, so it was not difficult to come in and out.

Hua Xiezhi suggested that since we are not sure whether Wei Wushuang has 100% good intentions, it is necessary to watch it for a while first.

As for her own disability, she felt that it was already the case and there was no problem in delaying it for another year or two.

But Qu Jianlei believes that there is no need to do this.

"Every time we take action, we have to hibernate for a while. It has become a rule... This time we need to do the opposite!"

His suggestion was approved by everyone.

Then You You said: Since we plan to leave as soon as possible, there is a small problem currently encountered by the manor that needs to be solved.

It turned out that just as they were leaving, Rank B Warrior from Fire Attribute came to the door and asked to see the owner of the manor.

He revealed his identity outside the door, saying that he was Charles, the guardian warrior of Tian-character District, and that he had something important to discuss.

Central City has guardians in each Residential Area, but except for Tian-character District who is Rank B Warrior, the others are all C-level.

Zheng Weifang from Zhou-character Settlement Area was purely an accident. After he advanced to Rank B, he was reluctant to leave.

You You didn't take the guardian's identity seriously, but the opponent was Fire Attribute, Wood Attribute who could restrain her.

In the end, Hua Xiezhi went out in a wheelchair without letting the other person in, but just released his attributes.

She told the other party that the owner of the manor was not here! Charles also had a look and did not continue to pester. He just said that he would wait for the person in charge to come back and please let me know.

Qu Jianlei frowned when he heard this, "What did you not say?"

"No," You You shook his head and said lightly, "There are just a few possibilities."

Although it was inconvenient for her to come forward, she was from the base and did not take such a Rank B Warrior seriously.

Even the identity of the guardian, to some extent, represents the overall will of Central City.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Then wait until evening. I'll go meet him for a while."

Hua Xiezhi suggested, "It's best not to kill anyone."
