Chapter 1480: Deliberate Humiliation
The president of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce was nicknamed Wealth God Tie.
This Tie Hongji, a self-proclaimed God of Wealth of Divine Cloud Planet, was the eldest son of the president of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce, and also the demon that Old Gu had mentioned earlier!
With Tie Hongji coming to find fault with him at this precise moment, Chen Xiaobei could not help but think about that young salesperson whom he'd met earlier.
There must be something shady going on.
"We've already agreed on a price. Even if you are the young master of the Northern Wilderness' Chamber of Commerce, you cannot back out on a deal like that!"
Linghu Shuang had that fearlessness of a newborn calf, unafraid of the tiger before her. Although she was aware of whom she was speaking to, her tone was fierce and bold.
"Oh, where did this little lass come from! Oh, how beautiful! That face! Oh, and those long, lean legs! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Top quality!"
Tie Hongji gave Linghu Shuang a twice over, an unmistakable lust in his eyes.
"Pervert!" Linghu Shuang rolled her eyes at him. She was about to flip over when Chen Xiaobei pulled her back from behind.
Linghu Shuang was very sensible; she knew that this transaction involved a large sum of 200 million low-grade Spiritual Stones. If she raised havoc now, she would surely screw up the whole thing! This would directly be in the way of Chen Xiaoabei's interest so she zipped her mouth, and said no more.
"Young master Tie! I wonder what did you mean when you said that?" Chen Xiaobei kept his temper down.
Tie Hongjun, on the other hand, retorted rudely, "Which one? Top quality? Face? Long legs?"
Chen Xiaobei's brows furrowed. "You said that you don't accept the price that manager Bao and I have agreed on. What do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, that's simple - I think that the price he offered you is too high! It needs to be lowered!" Tie Hongjun spat.
"Manager Bao priced each one of the corpses I took out one by one! I have a pretty good understanding of the estimated market price as well! The price he offered is not considered high by any means!"
Tie Hongji chuckled, the expression on his face dripping with contempt. "Hehehe, you may know the market price but we, the Tie Family can decide the market price in all of Northern Wilderness Starfield! One word from my father and the price of Demonic Beast corpses will fall like a pack of cards!"
"How is that even possible? Do you think your dad as some sort of deity?" Linghu Shuang retorted.
"That's right! My father is the Wealth God Tie!" Tie Hongji said proudly. "Don't you forget that apart from us the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce, no one else in the entire starfield will buy Demonic Beasts corpses in bulk! If we don't take them, the bodies will rot!"
"You..." Linghu Shuang found herself without a reply.
In Northern Wilderness Starfield, there was only one giant magnate in the business industry, which was the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce. The sale and purchase of nearly every commodity would have needed to go through the chamber's website to be completed.
After all, one person would not have the ability to find the exact seller or buyer of a certain item in the vast starfield. At the end of the day, they still had to rely on the chamber to conduct their businesses!
If the chamber purchases an item in large volume, the price of that item would surely skyrocket later, but the price of things that the chamber refused to buy would crumble!
"I understand what you mean, young master Tie!" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "What do you think then, would be the acceptable amount of Spiritual Stones?"
"I think that 250 low-grade Spiritual Stones is an acceptable price!" Tie Hongji smirked.
"250?" Linghu Shuang gritted her teeth. "You are worth 250! Your whole family is worth 250!"
Tie Hongji's face darkened at this comment. "Hey, little girl! You better watch your tone with me! Or I won't even give you 250!"
"I..." Linghu Shuang opened her mouth to speak but was again pulled back by Chen Xiaobei.
"Young master Tie!" Chen Xiaobei said sternly, "You and I have no beef between us. Why are you deliberately trying to make things hard for me?"
"Deliberately try to make things hard? This is what it is eh!" Tie Hongju sneered. "This is business! I'm merely talking to business with you! If you don't want to sell, I won't force you!"
"Shameless!" Linghu Shuang's lips curled in anger.
Tie Hongji smiled icily, "Of course, I am soft-hearted person. If you go down on your knees and beg me, or maybe drop a few kowtows to the mix, I just might reward you with a few more Spiritual Stones!"
"Heh, young master Tie isn't trying to make things hard for me after all! You're just trying to humiliate me! If that's the case, then there's no need for us to talk anymore! I won't sell! Goodbye!" Chen Xiaobei turned his heels to leave.
"Stay where you are!" Tie Hongji shouted. "I will give you 10,000 Spiritual Stones for each kowtow!"
Just as Chen Xiaobei had said, Tie Hongji's whole purpose of getting involved in transaction was to humiliate Chen Xiaobei. At first, he lowered the price but Chen Xiaobei did not give in, so now he wanted to use Spiritual Stones to get Chen Xiaobei to bow before him!
One kowtow, 10,000 Spiritual Stones!
To the average person, this was a very tempting deal.
Earning Spiritual Stones this way was so much faster than robbing, and much easier than prostitution!
If Tie Hongji had announced these conditions on the street, there would be people lining up to kowtow to him, and they would kowtow shamelessly!
But Chen Xiaobei simply ignored the young master and headed for the door with Linghu Shuang on tow.
"You bastard! How dare you ignore me?!" Tie Hongji spoke even louder. "One kowtow, 30,000 Spiritual Stones! Are you going to kowtow or not?"
Chen Xiaobei still turned a deaf ear, and continued for the door.
"F*ck! One kowtow, 50,000! 80,000! 100,000!" Tie Hongji kept increasing the numbers. He wanted so desperately for Chen Xiaobei to bow before him like a sad begger.
No matter how high he raised the numbers, however, Chen Xiaobei remained unresponsive.
"Motherfucker! I'm so pissed right now!"
In the beginning, Tie Hongji had thought that he could use his status to pressure Chen Xiaobei, but Chen Xiaobei could not care less who he was.
After that, Tie Hongji changed his strategy and used his monetary power, but Chen Xiaobei paid no heed to him either.
As the richest young man in Divine Cloud, Tie Hongji was used to getting everything he wanted. When he was faced with Chen Xiaobei who refused to give him anything he wanted, Tie Hongji felt deeply embarrassed, and very unhappy.
"Stop them!" Tie Hongji barked.
"Yes, sir!"
The two Ethereal Cultivation elites standing at the door immediately blocked Chen Xiaobei and Linghu Shuang's path.
Chen Xiaobei snapped. "Hey, Tie guy, I've been very patient with you! Don't bully us!"
"Heh, I want to bully you! If you're not happy, then bite me! One kowtow, 100,000 Spiritual Stones! This is your last chance, if you refuse to accept it, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
"Do you think that just because you have money, you can buy people's dignity?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Of course! If I can use money to make a woman lie with me, I can make a man bow down before me! Dignity is nothing but a joke to me!" Tie Hongjun smirked.
"Oh, so the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce buys dignity!" Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow at the young master, and said, "I have 3 million low-grade Spiritual Stones. Kowtow 30 times to me first!"
