"I think you've got one thing wrong. We're not killing the Flame Dragon just because you're being sincere, not because we're negotiating with you!" Ye Chen suddenly said coldly.
"Since you don't want these six Flame Dragons, then stay here forever!"
"Now, let's talk about the money you paid to save your life. Is it reparations? Or ceding territory?"
"You voluntarily handed over the reparations, but as for ceding territory, we'll just have to go and collect it ourselves!"
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Zi'ang's expression changed drastically. He never expected that Ye Chen's offer of reparations and territorial concessions would mean this.
This means that regardless of whether he pays the money or not, the six Flame Dragons will not be coming back, and he himself will have to suffer a huge loss.
"Ye Chen! Don't go too far! You can't kill people in the Trial World. Aren't you afraid that I'll come back to settle scores with you when we get back to Blue Star?" Lin Ziang was a little scared and wanted to use his family background to threaten the other party.
However, Ye Chen chuckled upon hearing this.
"Should I say you're genuinely stupid or just pretending? You can't kill people in the Trial World, but you can disqualify yourself from becoming a formal lord."
"You're just an ordinary person who's nobody. You don't actually think your family will protect you, do you? Or even make an enemy of a legitimate lord for your sake?"
"Please get your facts straight. You're just a member of a collateral branch of the Lin family. You don't have that much power!"
Ye Chen's words immediately turned Lin Ziang's face ashen.
Indeed, as he said, if he had failed to become a formal lord, the Lin family of Shanghai would never have stood up for him, let alone become enemies with a formal lord.
Even his biological parents might not do this, after all, they have more than one son.
The larger the family, the more they value ability and worth. If he cannot become a formal lord, he will completely lose his usefulness within the family.
"Well? Have you made up your mind yet? Ceding territory or paying reparations?" Seeing that the other party hadn't made a move, the fat man said impatiently. Today's matter had really given him a great sense of satisfaction. It was incredibly satisfying.
Lin Ziang glared at the two of them with resentment, took a deep breath, and pulled a blueprint from his pocket.
"This is a blueprint for a low-level magic tower. It can create a magic tower with territorial defense capabilities. Its power is related to the level of the magic crystals used. Is this enough?"
Upon seeing the design, both Ye Chen and the fat man showed a hint of surprise.
Magic towers are a type of defensive tower. Although they don't provide any bonuses to territory like special buildings, they are an essential defensive force for any territory.
Compared to ordinary defensive towers, magic towers are naturally more powerful, and the spells they unleash are much stronger than those of ordinary arrow towers.
Ye Chen pursed his lips but didn't say anything; this drawing clearly didn't satisfy him.
"You!" Lin Ziang was furious, but seeing that Ye Chen clearly didn't want to let him off so easily, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out another item.
"Hey, a mid-grade Earth Spirit Bead? Kid, you've got some skills!" The fat man teased, his face full of surprise, upon seeing the earth-yellow bead in the other's hand.
A rich earth-elemental energy emanated from it, far more powerful than the low-level earth spirit orb he had obtained, clearly indicating that this was a higher-level earth spirit orb.
Even Ye Chen couldn't help but be tempted. At this stage, the intermediate-level Earth Spirit Orb is definitely a top-tier item. As for the advanced-level spirit orb, it will only appear in the later stages of the trial.
Ye Chen remained silent, wanting to see just how many good things these scions of noble families still possessed.
"Don't go too far! The value of these two items is enough to buy your two dilapidated territories!" Lin Ziang said angrily, clearly not expecting the other party to have such a big appetite. The blueprints for the magic tower and the intermediate earth spirit orb were no longer enough to satisfy them.
"But it was here that you fell, in these two dilapidated territories of ours!"
"Don't forget, this is your hard-earned money. If you can't come up with something satisfactory, we'll find it ourselves!"
Ye Chen said calmly, "Since we've already become enemies, let's make it as thorough as possible. If the other party still doesn't know what's good for them, I don't mind completely ruining their chance to become a lord."
"Fine! You want things, right? I can give them to you, but let's see if you're alive to take them!" Lin Ziang laughed angrily, then turned and walked towards the only wooden house on the territory.
