The atmosphere at the scene became a little weird for a moment. They were supposed to join forces to suppress Zhang Mu, but in the end, he easily resolved it with a few words.
At this time, they saw that Lu Yuan was so angry that he gave up and left them alone, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Joymeet Gang Leader Leng Si turned his beautiful eyes at this time, stood up and said with a smile.
"Why are you so angry? You should all sit down and calm down."
Lang Shi The two of them remembered today's purpose and immediately followed the steps and sat down with cold snorts.
However, Zhang Mu was ungrateful. Even though Leng Si looked at him pitifully, he didn't pay any attention to him.
He glanced behind him from the corner of his eye and saw that Ling Yun's face seemed a little impatient, so he immediately said in a cold voice.
"Okay, I have nothing to talk about with you guys. Don't waste everyone's time. Let's get straight to the point."
"My words are here, no matter what you do, in short, I will take half of the interests of the entire Lower City!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three major gangs suddenly changed.
Lang Shi even sneered and said in a disdainful tone.
"Half percent? Gang Leader Zhang has a huge appetite, but I don't know if your stomach can hold it?"
The other two people also looked a little ugly, feeling that Zhang Mu didn't take them seriously at all.
At this time, Xue Liu and others sitting behind Ling Yun saw that he seemed a little confused, and they also whispered in his ear to explain.
Soon, Ling Yun roughly understood.
It turns out that the so-called Lower City is just a way of saying it.
The interests of the entire Cloud City are divided into three cities: the upper, middle and lower cities. The upper ones eat the middle and the middle eat the lower ones.
These gangs belong to Zhongcheng and rely on the profits of Lower City, such as gambling houses and taverns.
As for the upper city, it was naturally various martial arts schools and government offices, and even Demon Suppression Division was involved.
Ling Yun was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he thought about it, those guys are also human beings, and naturally they cannot do without these cliché constraints.
On the contrary, with such huge interests, it would be a bit strange if these people didn't get involved.
And if the entire Cloud City income is divided into 100%, then 90% of it will be divided up by the forces in the upper city.
Among them, Demon Suppression Division accounted for the majority, a full 40%, and the government and martial arts schools each accounted for 25%. The remaining 10% was equally divided among the three major gangs.
Therefore, the half percent mentioned by Zhang Mu, although it sounds like a small amount, if calculated this way, it accounts for almost half of their income. It is no wonder that a few people have such expressions.
At this time, Lu Yuan and others were too lazy to use any pretentious politeness. Their expressions turned cold and they just showed up.
"Zhang Mu, don't think that if I say a few polite words to you, you will really treat yourself as a person."
"I tell you, three signs are three signs, and one more will not do!"
"If you're smart, you can share some of your soup, otherwise, there will be no place for you in the entire Cloud City!"
Faced with the simultaneous pressure of three people, Zhang Mu was not anxious at all. He glanced at the three people's faces and spoke calmly.
"It would have been better if I had said this earlier, and still did all those bells and whistles."
"Okay, I don't want to bully you. Just follow the rules of Cloud City. Tell me whether you want Verbal Duel or Martial Duel!"
Lu Yuan and others looked at each other and laughed angrily at how shameless this guy was.
Don't want to bully them?
These people behind them can drown you kid with just a drop of spit!
However, seeing Zhang Mu take the initiative to propose the text Martial Duel, they couldn't help but feel happy.
"Interesting, what is Verbal Duel? What is Martial Duel?" At this time, the young man with a pale face above also became interested, shaking the folding fan gently in his hand, looking very curious.
The identity of this person seemed to be of no small importance. Leng Si looked at him with beautiful eyes, seemingly intending to fawn over him, and he explained it with a smile.
It turns out that there is such an unwritten rule in the entire Cloud City.
When two parties are arguing about something, they can use the method of Wen Martial Duel to solve it.
The so-called text Martial Duel is actually a battle of ruthlessness and bravery.
Verbal Duel means that there are three people from each side, and one side will make an action first. As long as the other party dares not follow it, or cannot do it, then it will be considered defeat.
But if you do it, it counts as a point.
Martial Duel It's much simpler. Just fight in the ring. It's also a best of three games. You can listen to whoever has the biggest fist.
Although it sounds a bit childish, it is in line with the style of this world that advocates strength.
The young man with a pale face immediately became interested when he heard this. He stopped shaking his fan and looked like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"Okay, okay, it's not in vain that I've waited so long, I finally got something interesting to see."
At this time, Zhang Mu also raised his face, looking very arrogant.
"How about it, have you decided yet, Verbal Duel or Martial Duel?"
"Should one family go there one by one, or three families go there together?"
"How about I just let you go back and discuss it in detail?"
Lu Yuan and the others snorted coldly, not being angered by his simple provocation.
"It seems that Gang Leader Zhang is very confident in himself. We will take over this article Martial Duel!"
"Don't say that we are bullying you, a junior. If you choose one of the three of us, it will be like Martial Duel. No matter you win or lose, we will count as one!"
"But let's talk first, what if you lose?"
Zhang Mu didn't waste any time and just took out a handful of banknotes and slapped them on the table.
"If I lose, these 50,000 taels of silver will be used as compensation, and we brothers will leave Cloud City from now on and never set foot again!"
Looking at the pile of banknotes, Lu Yuan and others could not help but have a flash of greed in their eyes.
"Okay! If you win, as you said, Lower City will have half of the proceeds,"
As if they were afraid that he would regret it, Lu Yuan and the other two decided directly.
Then they took out a contract and each signed their names, obviously prepared for this.
Zhang Mu, however, didn't take it seriously. He walked forward swaggeringly and signed his name as well.
Seeing the three people in front of him looking like they were sure of winning, Zhang Mu also sneered in his heart, also confident that he would win.
Ling Yun from behind looked at this scene with a strange look in his eyes.
It wasn't because of their actions, but from his direction, he could clearly see that the stack of banknotes Zhang Mu just took out, except for the top few, were genuine, the rest were just white paper.
This guy is quite a talent!
Ling Yun shook his head and didn't mean to stop him. He just sat there leisurely.
He wanted to see how far this guy could go without his help.
At this time, the four parties who signed the contract did not waste any more time.
They all ordered their subordinates to start cleaning up the venue, and within a short time, a simple arena was built.
"What about Gang Leader Zhang, do you decide who will play in this first game?"
"Or are you going to take action personally, Gang Leader Zhang?"
Faced with the teasing of the three people, Zhang Mu crossed his arms over his chest and remained unmoved.
"It's just a trivial matter, but it doesn't require me to take action personally."
After saying that, he turned his head to look behind and said softly.
"Brother Li, I'm going to trouble you this time."
