Reincarnation Alchemists
chapter 36
“Just now, you are quite fierce to face my father,” Ling Han said calmly, yet there was a strong dissatisfaction in his voice.
“Young Lord Han, I don't know now that Ling Clan Head is your father. Otherwise, I would have never dared to air in front of Ling Clan Head! “He spoke with a sad expression,” I deserve to die, I am completely worthless! ”
He strengthened his resolve, and actually started to slap himself repeatedly!
Ling Dong Xing was already completely numb.
He knew that his own son was a genius now. But to actually be someone that would be sown by an alchemist and painstakingly lick .. this still caused him great shock!
Previously, Ma Da Jun's attitude was filled with arrogance, superiority, and demeaning. He had invited Ma Da Jun over and over again before the man finally agreed to come, but the first thing to do after arrival was to look for flaws and create trouble. He actually showed the arrogance of an alchemist to the fullest extent.
But now ...he really did not believe that Ma Da Jun would actually treat him with respect and manners.
These few days when he left ... what exactly happened that caused his son to change so much?
“Ling Clan Head, I really deserve to die. Please do not worry, I will have someone deliver medicine to you once I return, ” Ma Da Jun said very gently and carefully. As soon as he recalled his previous attitude towards Ling Dong Xing, he could not control his rapid heartbeat. He's scared shitless now.
Ling Han tapped one finger on the table, and said, “Does the Cheng Clan make you do such a thing?”
“Hehe, Young Master Han, I really had no idea that Ling Clan Head was your father, and thus fell under the deceit of the Cheng Clan. You must believe me! ”Ma Da Jun explained in haste.
Ling Han smiled and said, “I believe you.”
Ma Da Jun immediately felt elated, but then he heard Ling Han continue to speak, “You are a greedy person. With your personality and character, how could you deign to help the Cheng Clan without adequate benefits? Tell me, what benefits did you receive from the Cheng Clan? ”
“This-” Ma Da Jun stuttered, but as soon as he saw Ling Han's sharp gaze, he tensed up and hurriedly said, “Thirty thousand silver coins.”
“The Cheng Clan is really generous!” Ling Dong Xing snorted. As the clan head, he had a deep understanding of the importance of thirty thousand silver coins.
The Cheng Clan and Ling Clan were very similar in that they both had very large incomes but their expenditures were also huge. A sum of thirty thousand silver coins could only be painstakingly saved for two, three years. That the Cheng Clan was willing to use such an astronomical amount to hire Ma Da Jun meant that they were really serious in their efforts to completely cut off the Ling Clan's life blood.
As Ling Han said, Ma Da Jun was a greedy man. In order to let him once again supply the Ling Clan with medicines, they had to offer him a reward that exceeded thirty thousand silver coins. But the problem was that after the Ling Clan was hit twice, they practically spent all the money they had, so where could they find thirty thousand silver coins to bribe Ma Da Jun with?
This move might only be a minor wound for the Cheng Clan, but for the Ling Clan, it would definitely be a fatal injury.
Thank goodness he had a good son!
“Thirty thousand coins, that's quite a lot,” Ling Han looked at Ma Da Jun with a thin smile, “Alchemist really is very expensive. They have to spend that amount to be able to bribe you. ”
“Young Master Han, you're kidding,” Ma Da Jun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He wasn't an idiot, so naturally he could tell that Ling Han was insinuating.
“Because of you, our Ling Clan has really suffered great losses these few days,” Ling Han said calmly.
Ma Da Jun immediately shivered, but a flash of inspiration passed through his brain and he hurriedly said, “Although the mastermind is the Cheng Clan, it is undeniable that I am also responsible to some extent. Thus, allow me to hand over these thirty thousand silver coins to the Ling Clan to compensate for the losses the Ling Clan suffered. ”
Ling Dong Xing was stunned. A greedy man like Ma Da Jun would actually hand over the bribe money he had long received? How scared he was of his son!
Ling Han nodded, and said, “This is not a problem for you, right?”
“How is it possible?” Although he felt as if his heart was bleeding, Ma Da Jun smiled and said shyly, “This is something I should do, and it is a small sign of my feelings.”
“Alright then!” Ling Han nodded, “I want you to do something for me.”
“Young Master Han, say it and it will be done,” Ma Da Jun snared it.
“From tomorrow onwards, request a portion of the pills normally given to the Cheng Clan to be supplied to our Ling Clan for resale,” Ling Han said.
When Ling Dong Xing heard this, he immediately felt delighted. Alchemy pills were one of the two greatest sources of income for the Ling Clan. If they could obtain double the amount of their supplies, then their profits would also double. At the same time, the income of the Cheng Clan would be reduced by half.
If this went on for a few years, then the overall strength of the Cheng Clan would immediately fall very far from the strength of the Ling Clan, while the Ling Clan … will be able to completely defeat the Cheng Clan and become the most important clan in Gray Cloud Town, and also the only Great Clan in the city!
“Ya, of course,” replied Ma Da Jun quickly. After all, all he needed to do was issue the required command — he would not suffer any personal loss on his part.
“I don't need to give you some kind of reward in return?” Ling Han said with a smile.
“Hoho, Young Master Han, you really are a comedian,” Ma Da Jun said with a dry laugh.
“Alright, there is nothing more I need from you so you can go ahead and do your job,” Ling Han nodded, sending Ma Da Jun off.
“Why not have dinner before leaving?” Ling Dong Xing said politely. After all, Ma Da Jun would do something for them.
