A Lion's Mouth

Lu Chuan had not expected Ye Yunqing to be so quick on the uptake.

Since she had already brought it up of her own accord, he naturally would not stand on ceremony. In the face of such enormous benefits, everyone understood without needing it said.

Deliberately putting on a show had no meaning at all. Instead, it would only make people think you were fake.

At once, Lu Chuan said bluntly, "I want half of this Heavenly Origin Spirit Gold Mine vein..."

"Half? This..."

The moment Lu Chuan opened his mouth, not only Ye Yunqing, but everyone present froze.

Their faces were filled with shock.

Everyone knew Lu Chuan would definitely take a share of the benefits.

They had simply never imagined that Lu Chuan would open his lion's jaws so wide and directly demand half.

Quite a few people immediately frowned, their expressions turning somewhat ugly.

Clearly, they had major objections to Lu Chuan's proposal.

Ye Yunqing's expression also turned hesitant. She had not expected Lu Chuan's appetite to be so huge.

"Brother... your demand is too high. I have no way to give you an answer..." Ye Yunqing immediately said with a bitter smile. "I'll tell you the truth. With my authority, I can give you at most ten percent of the benefits.

"Half is truly too much. And from what I know of the hall, I'm afraid your demand is impossible to satisfy.

"After all, you know very well that mining this Heavenly Origin Spirit Gold Mine vein is not an easy matter. We need to invest a great deal of manpower and material resources.

"In truth, the cost itself is also very high.

"Moreover, I'm afraid there will be no small number of people outside waiting to split the accounts..."

"I understand everything you're saying!"
