Upon hearing this, Qian Ergou and the others' expressions instantly changed: "What do you mean?"
Bai Ying curled his lips into a wicked smile: "If you only need me, Bai Ying, I can take only 10%, but if you want to use the entire Flowing Eagle Stronghold, then it absolutely cannot be just 10%!"
Bai Ying's uncompromising tone instantly enraged Qian Ergou and the others.
Li Yuanbao, in particular, had the most explosive temper and usually looked down on Bai Ying the most. He immediately retorted angrily, "Who do you think you are? Even without you and your Liuying Village, the other three villages can still do that big business just the same!"
Despite Li Yuanbao's cold rebuke, Bai Ying remained unyielding: "Is that so? I can withdraw; I didn't insist on joining. However, I was invited by the Venerable Lord, so even if you want me to leave, the Venerable Lord himself must speak up."
"You..." Bai Ying's words instantly put Li Yuanbao in a difficult position.
Now that White Eagle knows about their big business plan, letting him go now would expose the plan.
We definitely can't let him go easily. As for whether to kill him outright or let him participate in a big deal, we still need to consider that.
If they kill him, even if they have Su Zhan who can defeat Bai Ying, Bai Ying is the leader of Liuying Village. If they kill Bai Ying, the entire Liuying Village will probably come after them, and they will definitely face endless trouble!
But if he's allowed to participate in big business deals, he'll want a bigger share of their profits, which is a real dilemma.
Seeing that they were about to start arguing, the Venerable One quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "We're all on the same side, so let's be more peaceful. Only by being peaceful can we make money!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanbao immediately said to the Lord with a wronged expression, "Lord, we only agreed to let Bai Ying join this big deal because of you, but he's really asking for it."
Bai Ying's face suddenly darkened: "Li Yuanbao, if you want to die, I can grant your wish!"
White Eagle half-raised his hand, the sword in his hand looking as if it were about to be drawn at any moment.
Li Yuanbao knew that Bai Ying's martial arts were better than his own, and he was usually quite afraid of him. But with so many people present, saving face was more important than anything else.
At this moment, he stood tall and defiantly shouted at White Eagle, "White Eagle, what are you so arrogant about? If you want to fight, come on! I might not be able to beat you!"
"Then come on!"
Enraged, Bai Ying was about to draw his sword and chop off Li Yuanbao's head.
The Lord intervened just in time: "Alright, stop arguing, you're all driving yourselves crazy!"
As soon as the Lord spoke, Li Yuanbao and Bai Ying immediately fell silent.
The Lord frowned and looked at White Eagle: "Tell me what you want?"
Bai Ying could sense the impatience in the Lord's tone, but he couldn't back down: "The Lord invited me to participate in this big deal, which is a great help to me, and I thank the Lord for thinking so highly of me. However, I still maintain that the ten percent the Lord gave is for Bai Ying alone. If it's only ten percent, then Liu Ying Village won't participate; only I, Bai Ying, will participate. If you want all of Liu Ying Village to participate, then you absolutely cannot give only ten percent!"
Upon hearing Bai Ying's words, Li Yuanbao immediately objected: "Isn't what you're given to Liuying Village? Why do you have to be so precise?"
Qian Ergou chimed in, "If we calculate it the way you do, wouldn't the Lord also have to give an extra ten percent to each of us big bosses?"
White Eagle sneered disdainfully, "You few think you deserve a ten percent share of the profits from the Lord? Even if you don't have a scale, you still have urine, right? Take a piss and look at yourselves in the mirror!"
What White Eagle said was undoubtedly like throwing a bomb into a crowd!
The average damage output offended everyone.
"White Eagle!" This time, not only Li Yuanbao and Qian Ergou were angry, but even Zhang Debiao was furious: "We are all chieftains, why don't we deserve a share of the profits? If you're really itching for a fight, we're not short of people here to fight you. Show us what you're capable of, and see if you deserve a share of the profits!"
Normally, Zhang Debiao would never speak to Bai Ying like that.
Who could blame them when Bai Ying was the most skilled in martial arts among all their chieftains?
If I were to get into a fight with White Eagle and get killed by him with a single slash, wouldn't that be incredibly unfair?
But things are different now. With Su Zhan as a powerful weapon, Silver Tiger Stronghold will see who dares to be arrogant in front of him in the future!
Anyone who acts arrogantly will be dealt with!
Sure enough, Bai Ying glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and then stopped speaking arrogantly.
With such overwhelming strength before him, and knowing full well that he couldn't defeat the opponent, Bai Ying certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to actually confront Xuan Yuanzhan head-on.
Seeing that Bai Ying dared not be arrogant, Zhang Debiao felt instantly relieved.
Su Zhan is definitely the best!
This is one of the reasons why he insisted on bringing Su Zhan into Silver Tiger Stronghold.
As long as Su Zhan remains in their Silver Tiger Stronghold, their Silver Tiger Stronghold will be able to dominate the entire northern region, and it is not impossible for them to gradually annex all other strongholds.
Although Bai Ying softened his stance, he still refused to budge on his previous conditions: "I'll say it again: either I participate alone and get 10% of the profits, or I bring the entire Liuying Village to participate and the profits are redistributed."
When Bai Ying raised this request again, the surroundings fell silent.
The lord did not speak again, but instead watched them leisurely, as if waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
In fact, Zhang Debiao and the others understood that their lord was unlikely to offer any more concessions.
His decision to concede 20% of the profits was already beyond their expectations.
After deducting the Lord's 20% share, and then deducting Su Zhan and Bai Ying's 10% share each, only 60% of the profit remains. Dividing 60% among the four villages is indeed a bit too little.
However, White Eagle refused to budge, and couldn't actually kill the person.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Debiao spoke first: "There's no point in continuing this stalemate. Here's what we'll do: the Lord's 20% of the profits cannot be touched, and the 20% of the profits for Su Zhan and Bai Ying, which the Lord voluntarily gave to them, also cannot be touched. The remaining 60% will be divided equally among the four villages."
As Zhang Debiao spoke, he looked at Bai Ying and said, "How about that? Is that fair now?"
White Eagle raised an eyebrow noncommittally: "Of course there's no problem with that."
Upon hearing this, Qian Ergou twitched his eye in displeasure.
Of course he had no problem with it. He got another 15% profit for free, plus what the Lord gave him, so he got 25% profit, more than their village. It would be strange if he didn't agree.
Seeing that Bai Ying was finally satisfied, the Lord also spoke up: "I think the way of dividing it is good. Chief Zhang is really generous!"
These words made Li Yuanbao and Zhang Ergou even more dissatisfied.
Like Bai Ying, Zhang Debiao, along with Su Zhan, also got a 25% share of the profits from Silver Tiger Village. He benefited greatly from this idea, and now he's even gained a good reputation!
Li Yuanbao and Qian Ergou remained silent, so the Lord asked directly, "Chief Li, Chief Qian, what do you think?"
