Gai Jun's mouth twitched violently several times before he spoke with some difficulty. "Of course we want them alive!"
Because he understood that the moment he opened his mouth, Ye Zhen would surely make a lion's gaping demand, yet they had no means whatsoever to resist.
"Fine. Since you want them alive, the five of you must reach Phoenix Tail Island, four and a half million li from here, before noon on April twenty-seventh—within half a month. And remember to bring all the wealth of your Myriad Stars Tower.
Otherwise, I'm afraid your assets won't be enough to ransom them!" Ye Zhen sneered.
"Today is already April twelfth. Four and a half million li in fifteen days—even if we grew wings, we couldn't make it!" Second Floor Master Huang Tan's brows knitted tightly together.
"Hmph, I don't care whether you can make it or not!
But for every hour you're late, I'll kill one candidate for the floor master of the generation after next!
If you dare be half a day late, I'll kill one Young Floor Master. Come whenever you want—see how you handle it!" Ye Zhen sneered.
At those words, the corners of Huang Tan, Ou Tuo, and Yan Wudi's mouths turned incomparably bitter. This truly was the cycle of Heaven; retribution never missed its mark.
Because just days ago, the messenger they had sent to Chang Feng Island had threatened Ye Zhen in exactly the same way. They simply had not expected retribution to come so quickly!
"Ye Zhen, how about we make the exchange here? We can guarantee—" Second Floor Master Huang Tan suddenly said.
Before Huang Tan could finish, Ye Zhen gave a derisive laugh. "Trust you? I'd sooner believe a sow could climb a tree! Trade here? Do you take me for a fool?"
