"Ten thousand taels is not a small amount. If it were an ordinary family, they would have enough food and drink to last them several lifetimes." Mu Hanyan said to herself.
Mu Nan was about to cry. He had wanted to say a few nice words, hoping that Mu Hanyan would show mercy and give him a discount, but from her tone, it seemed that it would be difficult.
In Mu Nan's eyes, the gentle smile on Mu Hanyan's face was clearly a prelude to a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, reminding him of the legendary vicious local gentry who were rich and unkind and bullied men and women.
"Alas, with so much money, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to pay it back even if I sold myself." Mu Hanyan continued to rub salt into the wound and accidentally hit the nail on the head about Mu Nan's concern.
Mu Nan's heart was about to bleed. It was true that small gambling was good for the heart, big gambling was harmful to the body, and high-end gambling would lead to nothing. Mu Nan was now very tempted to buy something.
"By the way, I heard that Young Master Wei from the west of the city also has a powerful family. Because he owed gambling debts and refused to pay them back, his legs were broken by someone and he is still lying in bed. Tsk tsk, it's just a few thousand taels of silver, but he ended up like this. It's really miserable. If it was changed to ten thousand taels, I'm afraid he couldn't even keep his two hands." Mu Hanyan sighed as if she was recalling the past, but her eyes swept over Mu Nan's hands and feet.
Mu Nan only felt his hands and feet going numb, as if someone was pointing a knife at him, and they felt cold.
A threat, a naked threat. Anyone else wouldn't necessarily attack a fellow clan member even for tens of thousands of taels of silver, but Mu Hanyan wasn't anyone else. He was Blackrock City's most audacious playboy. Was there anything he couldn't do? Mu Nan's face paled, sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Ah, it seems you're in a difficult situation. How about this, for the sake of our close family, I can give up the 12,000 taels gambling debt." Mu Hanyan said quickly before Mu Nan fainted.
"What?" Mu Nan almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
"I can forgive the gambling debt, but I need you to do me a small favor. If you satisfy me, the debt will be settled." Mu Hanyan changed the subject and said.
"What help?" When Mu Nan heard the words "it's all settled", he felt that his hands and legs were no longer cold and numb. It was as if a mountain pressing down on his head flew away. He felt much better and asked quickly.
"I know you opened an auction house, and I want to go and see if there are any good items. Of course, I don't have much money now, and all the money is with you, so if I like something, you have to find a way to help me buy it. As for whether you spend the money or refuse to pay, it's none of my business. You figure it out yourself." Mu Hanyan said.
"This is what you want me to help you with. How do you know I opened an auction house?" Mu Nan thought that Mu Hanyan wanted his help with something as serious as murder, arson, or bullying, but when he heard that it was such a trivial matter, his eyes widened.
The Mu family's businesses in Black Stone City were all managed by the third elder, and there were many opportunities to make money. Mu Nan was influenced by this from a young age and was much more interested in business than cultivation. So he secretly embezzled some of the family's assets and opened an auction house for fun.
Because the auction house was run with family property, it was difficult to prevent a thief from being a member of the family. If anyone knew about it, they would be punished by family rules. So Mu Nan did it in a very secretive manner, and even his closest brothers and sisters didn't know about it. No one knew where Mu Hanyan heard the rumor from.
