God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me-Chapter 448: Biting off more than one can chew! Crying from being duped!
"Ah...uuuh..."
Wu Shihao’s nerves had already been stretched tight from the torture, and Wang Fugui’s sudden stab nearly pushed Wu Shihao to the brink of collapse!
"Then let’s change the question. Who is backing Prince Jin?" Ye Fan stared intensely at Wu Shihao, switching to a different question.
As a prince of the royal family, Prince Jin had gained the support of so many martial arts experts in a short period of time—there must have been someone behind him.
A fairy?

THUD!
As soon as Wu Shihao finished speaking, Guo Li, who was beside him, also stabbed Wu with a knife, "You don’t know this either, you’re useless!"
Originally, Ye Fan had planned to continue questioning Wu Shihao, but he could now see that Wu Shihao was nothing more than a simple martial soldier, a blockhead, unaware of any key information.
Ye Fan couldn’t be bothered with idle talk any longer and simply activated the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand to search for any useful information in Wu Shihao’s head, only to find almost nothing of value.
The only useful piece of information was that during this military martial exercise, Prince Jin had conspired with martial arts experts from outside to secretly assassinate the elite of Great Xia, intending to create a gap in the younger generation of martial arts experts in Great Xia.
And his senior wife, the Great Xia Valkyrie, was on the list!
Among those involved in the plan, besides the martial arts experts from Europa, there were also members from Dongying’s Black Clothes Society and the Miaojiang Gu Cult...
Another vague message was that there were traces of the Evil Cult in the great Miaojiang Mountains, and someone was trying to break the seal of the Evil Cult ahead of time and release it.
Hmph!
The world was becoming increasingly unsettled—suppressing the Evil Cult had been an unfinished plan of his mother and was one of Tianji Pavilion’s responsibilities.
Once he had dealt with matters in Guangcheng, he would make a trip to the Gu Sect, and incidentally return those two top-grade twin saints!
What Yamada Eiko had "corrupted" the two saints into, he did not know to what extent Eiko had taken her teachings!
Daya and Xiao Ya were too innocent, as pure as blank sheets of paper—if he didn’t let them see the evils of society, they would be clueless about the treacheries they might face in the future.
Whew!
Having confirmed there was no more useful information, Ye Fan’s hand burst into the Flame of Inheritance, burning Wu Shihao to ashes in an instant!
Ye Fan sighed deeply in his heart, another killer of his third brother had been eliminated!
With this, the direct killers involved in murdering his third brother had been reduced by one more—Old Mo, members of the Han and Cao Families, Wu Shihao... There were only the big fish from the Vermilion Bird Domain and a few core figures from the Gu Sect remaining...
Soon!
After cutting off all of Prince Jin’s wings, Prince Jin would be nothing but a toothless tiger... Brothers, I will make Prince Jin kneel before your graves in repentance!
Ding dong!
Just as Ye Fan and Guo Li were leaving the Tianji Pavilion base, he received a text message from Songyang, "Young Master Ye, Pan Shi has already started the recruitment plan. We are setting our conditions. We agree to surrender, but demand one thousand Third Rank Elixir Pills, one hundred volumes of top-grade martial arts techniques, and 100 billion in cash from both the Song and Qi Families... That’s not too excessive, right?"
Upon reading the message content, Ye Fan’s facial muscles involuntarily twitched several times!
100 billion in cash per family, they really dared to demand!
And one thousand Third Rank Elixir Pills, a hundred volumes of top-grade techniques... were they trying to empty out King Jin’s stores?
Without having to ponder, Ye Fan knew this must be Songyang’s idea.
"We are still waiting for their shipment to arrive; once it does, we will actually enter Tiankui Base. The exact location is here..."
Worried that Ye Fan would not be able to find the place, Song Yang considerately sent him a location—it was an estate just outside Tiankui Base!
...
"Patriarch Song, Head of the Qi Family! With such terms, you should be satisfied now, shouldn’t you? As for the keys to the base, shouldn’t we proceed with the handover..."
Suppressing the rage in his heart, Pan Shi glared at Songyang and Qi Yuan in front of him, seething with near insanity.
They really dare to ask!
I was just being polite, asking you to make your demands, and with just a smack of your lips, you directly asked for two hundred billion in cash, plus all those elixir pills!
If Pan Shi hadn’t sent his assistant to the base ahead of time to make arrangements, it would have been impossible to meet the extortionate demands of the Song and Qi families.
Damnit!
To give a total of two thousand Third Grade elixir, two hundred volumes of top-grade techniques—that’s almost the entire reserve of the Southwest Base...and two hundred billion in cash is tapping into a third of Prince Jin’s operational funds.
On hearing Pan Shi’s plan, Capital King Jin had initially rejected it on the spot.
If they used up so many resources, the many plans of King Jin would be severely affected when funds were needed; the finances would become extremely tight, and it could even lead to a complete collapse!
"Your Highness can rest assured, once we have the keys to Tiankui Base and have taken full control! Do you really think the Song and Qi families will continue to exist... by then, all the items will be returned to their rightful owner, not a single one missing!"
Pan Shi’s plan was sinister. On the surface, he agreed to all the conditions of Songyang and Qi Yuan—giving them all the elixir pills, techniques, and cash.
However, Pan Shi planned that once the keys were in hand, he would immediately wipe out both the Song and Qi families, so all the assets would still belong to King Jin.
"Steward Pan, siding with King Jin also means taking a huge risk for us! Therefore, please understand that we need to see tangible things before we dare to hand over the keys!"
Qi Yuan was more naïve and hardly spoke up; it was still Songyang who did the talking.
No coffin, no tears!
No sign of repentance until one reaches the bitter end!
Exasperated and on the verge of going berserk, Pan Shi said, "Patriarch Song, is it that you don’t trust His Highness, or is it me you don’t trust? Whatever we have agreed upon, we will surely do!"
"Not to hide anything from you, Steward Pan, we don’t trust either you or His Highness! So there’s no hurry with the keys!" Songyang retorted sharply, infuriating Pan Shi to the point where he almost exploded on the spot.
However, without the keys from the Song and Qi families, Pan Shi dared not act rashly and could only clench his teeth and order his subordinates, "Transfer the money now!"
Ding dong! Ding dong!
After the two notification sounds from the cell phones went off, Songyang deliberately picked up his phone and handed it to another patriarch among the Four Great Families, Liang Antong, "Head Liang, could you please help me count the zeros on this? Is that a hundred billion?"
While speaking, Songyang nudged Qi Yuan, who also picked up his phone and handed it to the head of the Chen Family, "Older Brother Chen, could you also take a look for me—is it one hundred billion that’s been transferred? His Highness really treats us well, huh!"
Chuckle! Chuckle!
Liang Antong and Head of the Chen Family glanced at the mobile messages on Qi Yuan and Songyang’s phones; the string of zeros was so eye-watering!
Show-offs!
These two were definitely flaunting on purpose!
Crushing hearts with a display of power!
Both belonging to forces loyal to King Jin, why should their two families receive so many benefits while the Liang and Chen families received nothing?
Especially the head of the Chen Family, his face was as dark as it could get!
Not only did he gain no benefits, but his son had also been doing battle with Ye Fan and had been shot dead by Wu Shihao, a sniper. His son was gone, and his lineage nearly extinct... as this thought crossed his mind, the head of the Chen Family, Chen Hong, couldn’t stand it anymore!
"Bang!"
Chen Hong suddenly slammed the table and stood up, "This is too unfair, way too unfair... Steward Pan, this game is unplayable..."
