Chapter 1394
"..."
And hush money?
Mr. Chen held back the tears that were about to fall and spoke word by word.
"Five middle-grade crystal stones!"
"Okay..."
Ling Tian was a little disappointed, this old man Chen was too rude.
But it doesn't matter, he still has options.
He took out those formations and exercises and placed them in front of Mr. Chen.
"Want it?"
think.
But what can Mr. Chen say?
cannot!
He knew that Ling Tian was digging a hole for him again.
But looking at so many formations and techniques, he couldn't help but feel excited.
But letting him produce the crystal is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
After much thought, Mr. Chen came up with a way.
He looked up at Ling Tian and asked softly.
"Are you really Ling Tian?"
"How is it? So what if it's not?"
"If you really are Ling Tian, I can help you..."
Mr. Chen hesitated again and again, but decided to take a gamble and said through gritted teeth.
"The five major families in the border town, Chen, Huang, Hu, Li and Song, except for our Chen family, they have all taken refuge in the city lord's palace!"
"I don't know what benefits the city lord promised them."
"But I know that the city wants to kill newcomers!"
"No matter how lucky you are or how strong you are, you will never be able to fight against so many people."
"I can help you, but the condition is that I want these things in your hands!"
After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Ling Tian frowned.
He couldn't be sure whether Old Man Chen's words were true or false.
But he is more inclined to believe it is true.
If Chen Jiazhen had colluded with the City Lord's Mansion, even if Old Man Chen only suspected his identity, the City Lord would have already sent someone here.
But it hasn't happened until now. There is a high probability that what Old Man Chen said is true.
Just a little confused, Ling Tian still couldn't figure it out.
"The Chen family is the richest family in the border town. Why doesn't the city lord win over you?"
"Who said we didn't win over you?"
When this was mentioned, Mr. Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Not only does he want to win over us, he also wants to swallow up our Chen family!"
"That guy's ambition is much greater than you think!"
"But he underestimates me too much!"
"The economy of the entire border town is under my control. If he really dares to attack our Chen family, I will plunge the border town into chaos!"
"He was afraid, so he could only pretend to promise me that he would not be in conflict with our Chen family."
"But I know that he never gave up."
"Fortunately, he is crazy, otherwise our Chen family would not be able to survive now."
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Chen is so anxious.
Even if you have guessed that there is something wrong with Xuantian Kung, you still continue to practice with a glimmer of hope.
I just didn't expect that I would fall into Ling Tian's plan.
Ling Tian did not comment on these words of Old Man Chen.
Since the city lord's purpose is to kill the newcomers, it makes sense to take control of the border town.
Old Man Chen's resistance is not surprising.
But, does Old Man Chen really think that the city lord is crazy?
The next moment, Mr. Chen answered his doubts.
"At first, I did wonder if he was really crazy."
"But then there was no change in the other stores, so I thought I had guessed wrong."
"But it turns out that I was right."
"He's pretending to be crazy!"
"I don't know the reason, but I know that if he recovers, our Chen family won't have much time."
Having said this, Mr. Chen suddenly raised his head.
The eyes that were originally filled with distress were now filled with light.
He stared at Ling Tian and spoke word by word.
"You are a newcomer, he will definitely not let you go."
"Joining forces with our Chen family is your only way out!"
