Jiang Ping An's hardline attitude and utter refusal to yield made the supervisor feel guilty.
The anger on his face receded like a tide, and he forced out a somewhat stiff, awkward smile. Stepping forward, his tone became exceedingly polite, even carrying a hint of conciliation.
"What are you two honored guests doing? Why get angry? I was inconsiderate just now and overly cautious, but it was merely due to my duties. I have offended you both in many ways, so please be magnanimous and do not take it to heart."
He quickly walked to the table, picked up the Storage Ring containing only half the reward, then swiftly took out another ring of a similar design. With both hands, he respectfully offered them to Jiang Ping An.
"Here are ten thousand Spirit King Pills, the full reward. I truly neglected my duties earlier and caused this misunderstanding. I hope you two honored guests will be generous enough not to spread this trivial matter around, lest it harm our harmony. It would not be good for any of us... would it?"
It was already no easy thing to make a Third Level God King lower his stance, yet Jiang Ping An did not immediately accept the two rings. Instead, he spoke again.
"The Thousand-Eyed Tree Demon's corpse itself is a rare material for artifact refinement or pill concoction. By my estimate, it is worth at least three hundred Spirit King Pills. Since the corpse has already been handed over to your merchant guild, this compensation should be paid as well."
Demon Illusion Fairy was dumbfounded by those words.
This fellow actually dared to press his luck and demand even more Spirit King Pills.
Was this extortion?
The other party was a Third Level God King, the supervisor of Fengyun Kingdom!
