In the east hall, Chen Lei met these shopkeepers.
"Meet Master Chen."
These shopkeepers seemed to be trying to reconcile and were very polite to Chen Lei. As soon as they saw Chen Lei, they immediately bowed to him.
Chen Lei waved his hand and said, "Since you have come to me today, you have the attitude to solve the problem. Your behavior has violated my bottom line. If I were to follow my previous temper, none of you would survive. However, today, I will give you a way out, and you must also have your own attitude."
After hearing what Chen Lei said, several shopkeepers naturally understood what he meant. One of the shopkeepers said, "Mr. Chen, we are wrong in this matter. We are willing to apologize. We have discussed it and decided to take out one million low-grade spirit stones as a small token of our gratitude for offending Miss Zhu'er. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
"One million low-grade spirit stones?"
Chen Lei frowned, sneered, and said, "Are you guys treating beggars like this, or do you think your lives are worth just one million low-grade spirit stones?"
After hearing what Chen Lei said, the faces of several shopkeepers changed. To be honest, one million low-grade spirit stones were not a small amount. Such one million low-grade spirit stones were enough to buy a thousand young girls. Moreover, Zhu'er had not suffered any actual harm. They thought that they had shown enough sincerity.
However, even so, Chen Lei was still not satisfied, and these shopkeepers were a little at a loss.
"Then I wonder how much we should pay to satisfy you, Mr. Chen?"
A shopkeeper asked cautiously.
Chen Lei said, "I don't want much either. You guys pay 10 million low-grade spirit stones, and let the person who did it apologize to Zhu'er. That's it. Otherwise, you guys have to be more careful when you walk in the future."
"Ten million low-grade spirit stones?"
When these shopkeepers heard what Chen Lei said, they all complained in their hearts, this is not enough, if they want more, how much more would it be
"Mr. Chen, this is a bit too much. Besides, Miss Zhu'er was not hurt..."
Chen Lei interrupted the shopkeeper and said, "It is precisely because Miss Zhu'er was not hurt that I only asked you to pay 10 million low-grade spirit stones. If Zhu'er was really hurt, do you think the spirit stones could solve the problem?"
When Chen Lei spoke, his tone was murderous and it was obvious that he was really angry.
After these shopkeepers felt the evil aura emanating from Chen Lei, they all felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar. It was obvious that this was a naked threat from Chen Lei, but it was because they were so unkind in the first place. If they had not provoked Chen Lei, such a thing would not have happened.
"Okay, we admit defeat. We will pay for the 10 million low-grade spirit stones. However, we cannot make the person who did it apologize to Miss Zhu'er because the person who did it was not us, but another shopkeeper. He is a distant relative of the Sixth Prince and we cannot control him at all."
These shopkeepers wished they could clear themselves of all charges at this moment, and directly named the person who had committed the crime that day.
