CHAPTER 1169: CHAPTER 1169: COMPENSATION!

Faced with the request put forward by Zhou Yu.

Zhu Tanggong from the Zhu Family, after a brief hesitation, immediately agreed.

"Mr. Zhou, our Zhu Family is willing to pay to resolve this issue."

"There isn’t much animosity between Mr. Zhou and our Zhu Family."

"Today’s events forced our hand, but regardless, it is our Zhu Family’s fault initially, and we’re willing to pay the compensation."

Zhu Tanggong’s words subtly expressed a desire to reconcile with Zhou Yu.

Perhaps it was due to the astonishing strength and potential Zhou Yu displayed, causing the Zhu Family to be wary.

If he cannot be eliminated, then they can only make ties.

Of course, it might also be that the Zhu Family is merely pretending to be conciliatory, while in the background, they may be planning a bigger revenge.

What the truth is, only Zhu Tanggong knows.

Zhou Yu did not reveal Zhu Tanggong’s hidden thoughts, instead, he changed the topic and said:

"Mr. Zhu, perhaps you didn’t hear me clearly."

"This two billion in compensation is not for me."

"It’s for the Gong Family."

"You’ve damaged the Gong Family to this extent, do you think you can just walk away?"

At these words, Gong Ke was startled and looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief.

"Mr. Zhou, as long as things have calmed down, isn’t compensation unnecessary..."

Zhou Yu chuckled.

"Why not?"

"What should be asked for must be asked for."

Zhou Yu said, implying much more.

Then, he turned to Zhu Tanggong:

"What? Do you have any questions?"

At this moment, Zhu Tanggong felt aggrieved to death, but facing Zhou Yu, he dared not show a bit.

Zhu Tanggong took a deep breath.

"Mr. Zhou, no problem, I will immediately have someone transfer the money to the Gong Family account."

After saying this, he waved to his subordinate, who immediately went to handle it.

Ten minutes later, the Gong Family account received two billion from the Zhu Family.

Seeing the astonishing string of numbers in the account, Gong Ke suddenly seemed to understand something.

The purpose of Zhou Yu doing this wasn’t really for compensation; he was binding the Gong Family to him.

As long as they took this money, they would inevitably be targeted by the four major forces in the future, and by then, the only one they could rely on would be Zhou Yu.

Realizing Zhou Yu’s intentions, Gong Ke was shaken.

Zhou Yu’s tactics far exceeded his imagination.

However, it’s for the best; the Gong Family had intended to make connections with Zhou Yu anyway, and after this event, the Gong Family was now bound to Zhou Yu.

This might not be a bad thing!

Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Zhou Yu and then said:

"Mr. Zhou, we have received the money."

Zhou Yu nodded lightly.

"Alright."

"You can leave now."

Hearing these words, Zhu Tanggong took a deep breath, expressed his thanks, and then hastily left with the Zhu Family members.

Seeing Zhu Tanggong leave, Ao Ziye came over with a forced smile.

"I have already had the money transferred to the Gong Family account."

After Zhu Tanggong paid, Ao Ziye evidently did not intend to create more complications.

He promptly transferred the money to the Gong Family’s account.

After completing this, he turned to Zhou Yu and said:

"Mr. Zhou, I will take my leave."

With that, he also left with his people.

Following him, Wang Hongshan from the Tianyu Commerce Chamber also paid and left with his group.

Finally, only Han Minghao from the Han Family remained.

Han Minghao was a million times unwilling, but now only the Han Family was left. They dared not go against Zhou Yu any longer.

Han Minghao suppressed his anger and approached Zhou Yu.

"Our Han Family’s money has also been transferred to the Gong Family account."

Having said this, Han Minghao was ready to leave.

However, just at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly blocked his path with his blade.

"Others can pass with payment, but you can’t!"

Upon hearing this, Han Minghao’s face changed.

"Zhou Yu, I’ve done as you said, what more do you want?"

Zhou Yu sneered.

"I spared your life last time, yet you dare to provoke me again. This time, money alone will not suffice."

Having said that, the Golden Demon Blade in Zhou Yu’s hand trembled, and in the next moment, a golden flash passed by.

Han Minghao only felt a chill from his shoulder.

He turned his head and saw that his left arm was gone.

The wound on his shoulder, the size of a bowl’s mouth, was gushing with blood.

"Ah—"

"My hand—"

No one expected Zhou Yu to actually attack Han Minghao directly.

As everyone else reacted, Uncle Li was the first to rush forward, glaring angrily at Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, our Han Family has already transferred the money to you, what are you doing?"

Zhou Yu sneered.

"Wasn’t I clear just now?"

"You..." Uncle Li was full of anger, but dared not show it to Zhou Yu.

He could only glare fiercely at Zhou Yu, then supported Han Minghao’s waist and left, full of frustration.

With the departure of these four top forces, the entire Gong Family estate was left with only Zhou Yu, Jiang Xin, and the Gong Family members.

The two King Realm Martial Artists of the Gong Family came to Zhou Yu and repeatedly expressed their thanks.

Zhou Yu naturally maintained a humble attitude in response.

After polite exchanges, Zhou Yu was about to leave with Jiang Xin and the others.

Suddenly, Gong Ke called out to him.

"Mr. Zhou, my father learned about everything you did just now and he is very grateful to you, wishing to meet you."

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou has the time?"
