Ning Chuan: What I Just Asked For Wasn't Ransom. The Ransom Comes After My Personal Compensation
"Why did you only ask for such a low price? After signing a contract with the Universe Broadcasting Group, Ning Chuan's standards shouldn't be too low. He must have been informed about the existence of many top-quality resources!"
Ye Yuexue's eyes flickered.
In his opinion, Ning Chuan's asking price was neither low nor outrageous.
In particular, they occupy a proactive position.
Doubling or tripling it again would be reasonable, and Yin Zhu would most likely not refuse.
"Could it be that he wants to play it safe... No, judging from the earnings from this live stream alone, he wouldn't be short of money... He probably doesn't want to push Yin Zhu too hard and wants to gain some time for peaceful cultivation!"
Ye Yuexue nodded thoughtfully.
He mentioned on the communication platform that he wanted to take Ning Chuan as his apprentice, but it was more of a casual remark rather than a clear commitment.
At this stage, Ning Chuan is all alone and lacks a strong background.
Pushing a True God to the extreme is not a wise move.
Thanks to the defensive mechanisms of the Martial Star, Ning Chuan's life was indeed safe, but the energy unleashed by a True God was still not to be underestimated.
Making appropriate concessions is actually a better choice.
"This young king who rose from humble beginnings truly possesses methods far beyond those of the company's younger employees. He handles things skillfully, knowing when to advance and when to retreat with ease!"
Ye Yuexue couldn't help but admire him.
Beside him, Yin Zhu, expressionless, agreed to Ning Chuan's request, coldly saying, "Fine."
Ning Chuan smiled and said, "Don't rush, I don't want the Star Yuan issued by the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, but rather the official currency of the Universe First Cultivator Bank."
Ning Chuan had absolutely no faith in Yin Zhu's character.
Even after he obtained the Star Yuan, Yin Zhu immediately began printing Star Yuan at an alarming rate, deliberately causing inflation and shrinking his wealth, which Ning Chuan had no doubt about.
"This isn't difficult."
Ye Yuexue took over the conversation, smiled faintly, and said, "Much of the wealth stored in the Universe First Cultivator Bank by the royal family, government, and Military Department of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom is our Ancient Yuan. As long as Brother Zhu agrees to your request, it can be transferred instantly."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhu said nothing, glanced back at Nie Yang behind him, and indifferently ordered, "Give him the money!"
After being accidentally injured by a rune, Nie Yang hadn't dared to go forward again. Now, he immediately nodded in acceptance and took out a communicator to quickly transfer the money.
Because of the entrance fee for the Hidden Slaughter Dao Lineage, he knew Ning Chuan's bank account number.
"Your Majesty, it's done!"
In the blink of an eye, Nie Yang respectfully reported, and Yin Zhu nodded in agreement. He then turned to Ning Chuan and said coldly, "Let them pass. Allow the Martial Extermination Army to return."
Ning Chuan gently shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet."
"You're trying to renege on your debt?!"
Nie Yang's expression changed, and a powerful sound erupted, shaking the heavens and earth, even triggering the defensive mechanism of the Martial Star. However, compared to the commotion caused by Yin Zhu earlier, it was not even in the same league, merely a drop in the Cang Sea.
"It's not about reneging on a debt."
Ning Chuan shrugged, unconcerned, and said calmly, "You agreed to my offer too quickly, before I could even explain."
"That quote only covers the taxes for the more than 10,000 members of the Martial Extermination Army who descended upon Martial Star, followed by compensation for me personally, and finally, the ransom."
"Otherwise, do you think you can redeem the Martial Extermination Army at the price you just paid?"
Ning Chuan recounted the story calmly, then added, "I know that several thousand of them have already perished on Martial Star, but even if they die, the taxes still need to be paid."
Upon hearing this, the five thousand members of the Martial Extermination Army nearly went mad, their hearts pounding with fear, as if they were playing a terrifying game of life and death.
I thought I had finally made it through the game after a near-death experience.
In the end, they were told they hadn't even left the starting village yet!
Ye Yuexue stared at Ning Chuan, whose expression was serious, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
Taxes, compensation, and ransom...
What was he thinking just now?!
Even True God like Ye Yuexue couldn't remain calm, so one can imagine how the other spectators felt.
The chat platform exploded!
It's like detonating a super-powerful Nuclear Weapon.
"No wonder they suddenly enacted a tax law for the Adventists; this was what they were waiting for!"
"I just thought his offer was reasonable!"
"How stupid of me! How could someone who can formulate tax laws to the point of 'keeping the geese that fly by' possibly let this opportunity slip by!"
" Ning Chuan didn't even ask the King of Yin Zhu how much money he had in his account; that's already a good thing!"
Various opinions emerged one after another, surging forth in a torrent.
From the True God who have existed for billions of years to the young people who have just begun their cultivation journey, everyone was deeply moved by Ning Chuan's words.
Are they really treating Yin Zhu, this ancient True God, like a fat sheep?!
There are actually three different types of fees!
A single tax payment isn't enough; we also need to add a personal compensation payment!
The problem is that, as the true ruler of the Martial Star, those taxes and fees are no different from Ning Chuan's personal wealth.
Besides being able to ask for even more wealth...
That seems to be the direct reason!
Yin Zhu didn't angrily rebuke him; instead, his gaze toward Ning Chuan grew increasingly cold, chilling to the bone.
Do you know what you're saying?
He said ruthlessly.
"Nature."
Ning Chuan smiled, showing no fear, and said, "The tax law for the Descendants was already promulgated before the Martial Extermination Army descended upon Martial Star."
These people chose to enter the Martial Star, but they don't have the ability to contend with me.
Based on the most fundamental Rule of the Universe, the strong are respected, and one can only and must act according to the rules I have set.
"Violation must have consequences."
Ning Chuan's smile remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Besides, I didn't give you a random price."
You can have someone calculate it.
After the Martial Extermination Army descended upon Martial Star, they caused damage to the air they breathed, the space itself, and the Cang Sea.
All of this added together, and then rounded down to the nearest cent, is exactly what I quoted earlier.
Upon hearing this, many viewers who had seen the Descendants Tax Law were speechless and wanted to roll their eyes at Ning Chuan.
The tax law is very detailed, but many clauses concerning the amount of fees are rather vague and depend on the specific circumstances.
It seems to be full of humanity.
The key point is that the first article of the tax law, in bold and large font, clearly states that the Federation government has the right to interpret the law.
In other words...
As long as Ning Chuan wants it, he can give whatever price he wants!
Moreover, it's impossible to accuse him of extortion, since everything is based on law, all of which were promulgated in advance, and no outsiders were forced to come.
"As for personal compensation to me, that is equally reasonable."
Ning Chuan spoke calmly, looking directly at Yin Zhu, and said, "I wasn't seriously injured, and I won't ask you for any compensation for emotional distress. However, it was you who personally activated the Star Core fragment of Yin Star, destroying all the treasures in my spatial ring. You should compensate me for my personal losses."
"As for the ransom, I don't need to say more, do I?"
Ning Chuan spread his hands, very patiently, and explained in detail many valid reasons.
At least on the surface, there are no obvious violations.
Everything is perfectly reasonable.
After all, Ning Chuan was demanding a huge amount of wealth from a former Immortal top-tier True God.
Without sufficient justification and a legitimate cause, success is unlikely.
You need to give the other party a way out.
Yin Zhu's face was ashen. After a moment of silence, he didn't leave, but said coldly, "How much more do you want? Just say it all at once!"
