Chapter 210 Protection Money (1/2)
Zhao Qiankun was very confused. He did not understand why Qin Haodong could throw a stone and easily hit a hare without looking at it. How did this happen? Even Dong Sihai, a jungle expert, couldn't do it.
He did not know that Qin Haodong, as Emperor Green Wood, had not been restored at this time, but the flowers and trees within a hundred square meters were his eyes, and what happened around him was clear, including places where there was prey.
Qin Haodong ignored him. He raised his hand and knocked down an unknown bird. Then he began to prepare food. Hu Xiaoxian did not leave. She stayed and worked with Qin Haodong. She was good at barbecuing, and soon the aroma spread around.
Not long after the meat was roasted, Qin Haodong pulled out a bottle of red wine and a bottle of juice from his backpack as if doing a magic trick.
He opened the juice for the little fellow and poured a glass of red wine for Hu Xiaoxian and himself. Hu Xiaoxian took a sip, and then she picked up the red wine bottle in surprise and cried, ”Is this a 1982 Rafael?”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, ”That's what the wine seller said.”
Hu Xiaoxian looked at his small backpack and asked, ”I wonder where you put all these things? This backpack doesn't look big. Why does it even have red wine?”
Qin Haodong laughed and said, ”This is a treasure bag. You can find anything you want in it.”
”Nonsense again.” Hu Xiaoxian didn't believe it at all, but she didn't go on with the topic. She raised her glass and drank a toast to Qin Haodong again.
Lei Tianrui came up with the idea of not providing food to Qin Haodong. He wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Qin Haodong and bring back all the 5 million yuan. Maybe he could extort more money from Qin Haodong.
But he did not succeed. On the contrary, Qin Haodong ate and drank. He even took out a 1982 Raffie. The food was much better than on his side.
Dong Sihai looked at them and said indignantly, ”Boss, what should we do?”
Wang Yuancheng said, ”There is no need to panic. How much can he carry with him in that backpack? Wait until tomorrow, he will have nothing to eat. Sooner or later, he will kneel and beg for our help.
Zhao Qiankun said, ”No, I can't wait any longer. I must go and discipline him.”
Dong Sihai said, ”What do you want to do?”
Zhao Qiankun said with a smile, ”This kid follows us every day and we stand guard at night. If it weren't for us, he would have been eaten by wolves. In that case, it would not be too much to ask him for some protection money.”
Then he looked at Lei Tianrui and asked, ”Boss, what do you say?”
”Go ahead.” Lei Tianrui nodded.
Although he was adept at scheming, at noon they had apologized to Qin Haodong and lost a million yuan to him. As a noble young master of an eminent family, he could not bear such grievance. He was full of anger. So he was fine with Zhao Qiankun's finding trouble with Qin Haodong.
With the permission of Lei Tianrui, Zhao Qiankun threw aside the bones he had chewed. Then he suddenly stood up and walked towards Qin Haodong.
”Papa, here comes the big bad man.”
The little fellow immediately took Qin Haodong's hand and cried out, but there was no fear in her face. On the contrary, she was a little excited.
”Don't mind him. Let's eat our food.”
He raised his red wine glass and drank a toast to Hu Xiaoxian, then slowly sipped it.
Seeing Zhao Qiankun approaching, Hu Xiaoxian frowned and asked, ”What's the matter?”
”I'm asking for some money from this guy.” Zhao Qiankun said fiercely.
”What money?” Hu Xiaoxian asked coldly.
”Protection money!” Zhao Qiankun turned his head to Qin Haodong and said with a sneer, ”Guy, you follow us every day. If we hadn't guarded you, a little doctor like you with no ability would have fed the wolves in Shennongjia. Isn't it reasonable to ask you for some protection money?”
He had not seen Qin Haodong show any martial arts. Although Qin Haodong subdued the Cannibal Vine, in his view he was using some strange means. It didn't prove that his cultivation was high.
Qin Haodong scornfully laughed and said, ”You protect me? How can I not see it?”
Zhao Qiankun said, ”Don't play dumb with me, boy. It's us who take turns to stand guard every night.”
Hu Xiaoxian clearly knew that Zhao Qiankun was stirring up trouble. She said discontentedly, ”Zhao Qiankun, don't go too far. Don't forget that you were saved by Haodong at noon.”
Zhao Qiankun said, ”It's true that he saved us at noon, but it was only an accident. Besides, we paid the money. There's no need to thank him at all, so he has to pay some protection money.”
Qin Haodong asked, ”How much are you going to charge?”
Zhao Qiankun said, ”One million yuan, it's already a very low price. You know, we are all masters.”
”One million?” Qin Haodong chuckled, ”What if I don't pay?”
Zhao Qiankun pulled up his sleeve and said, ”If you don't pay, then let me see if you have real ability. If you do, you don't need our protection.”
His real purpose was to force Qin Haodong to fight with him, so that he could be taught a lesson. So he raised the price of the protection fee to one million yuan in one go.
Qin Haodong had nothing but contempt for Zhao Qiankun. Although they were both of 9th grade of Overt Power, his insights and experience were not comparable to that of a warrior.
