Chapter 240: Dispute
In the silence of the night, in the home of the Great Elder, Smith and the Great Elder's hearts were full of monstrous waves. After receiving the message sent by Smith, the Great Elder fainted with black eyes. Regardless of the darkness of the night and the fear of exposing his relationship with the Great Elder, Smith went to the Great Elder's house in person. At that time, the Great Elder had just woken up, and when he heard the servant say that Smith had come to his house, he knew that there must be something more serious than the theft of all the goods at the auction. The Great Elder asked the servant to take Smith to his study, and when Smith saw the Great Elder, he told the Great Elder about the conversation between him and Lin Ruhai in the dining room, and described Lin Ruhai and the old shadow to his lower horse.
"I've heard that the people of Linjia Island are all immortals, and now it seems that we are probably in big trouble!" After hearing Smith's words, the Great Elder suddenly felt a chill in his back, and all the legends about Lin Jia Island that he had heard before came out of the depths of his memory.
"Oh my God! It's horrible! How can you calculate a man who is blessed by the gods, and I am so stupid that you have taken advantage of it and offended the gods! What should I do? What to do? ”
"Now we can only ask our chief to come forward and intercede with the Lord of Lin Island!"
"This ...... Aren't you afraid that he will punish you if he finds out that you are hiding the money you made at the auction? ”
"I'm still a great elder, I have a strong force in Luzon, and the chief doesn't dare to do anything to me!"
"Then what if the Lord of Lin Island insists that we compensate him twice as much gold and silver?"
"Then we can only obediently offer gold and silver, at least we can save our lives."
"The owner of those gems is you, and it is up to you to bear the gold and silver that are compensated to the Lord of Lin Island!"
"What! You profiteer! Those gems were stolen in your restaurant, right under your nose, and you should bear the loss! ”
"The restaurant also has your share, and the proceeds from the auction have always been divided equally between the two of us."
"You're right! So we should share the loss, although the gem is mine, but I entrusted it to you, and we also agreed to share the benefits equally. Although I am not here today, I will not shirk my responsibility, I bear 30% of the gold and silver, and I have done my duty. It stands to reason that if something is stolen from your hands, you should bear it all! ”
"Don't forget, it was you who came up with the idea to calculate the Lord of the Forest Island, otherwise, I would not have been cursed by the gods and lost all my goods! You're supposed to take most of the responsibility! Smith glared at the Great Elder with his blue eyes, furious at the Great Elder's shamelessness and greed!
The Great Elder hooked his lips and sneered, "Do you dare to tell this matter?" Don't end up risking your life for such a little gold and silver! ”
Smith was furious, pointed at the Great Elder's nose, and scolded in his own country's language.
"You still save your energy, it's going to be dawn soon! Tomorrow the Lord of the Island of Lin will leave Luzon, shouldn't you now go and prepare for the gold and silver that should be compensated to the Lord of the Island of Lin? I promise you 30,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver, which is already the most gold and silver I can give for the sake of our happy cooperation! ”
Smith gasped, looked at the sky outside that was gradually whitening, and gritted his teeth and said to the Great Elder, "Okay! Very good! From now on, our cooperation will be null and void, and you won't want to use me to make money for you! ”
"It's better to go, don't send it!" The Great Elder sneered.
"Humph!" Smith glared at the Grand Elder fiercely, then turned to leave.
The Great Elder looked at Smith's back as he left, and his face gradually sank. He didn't believe in any gods, but it was undeniable that the people of Lin Jiadao did have unfathomable abilities, and he felt that this matter must be inseparable from Lin Ruhai, and it was very likely that Lin Ruhai's subordinates did it. He didn't say it, but because he calculated that Lin Ruhai was first, and he was very jealous of Lin Jiadao's people hurting his life, so he was willing to spend a huge amount of compensation to appease Lin Ruhai. The Great Elder regretted that he shouldn't have been too greedy, and now he really lost his wife and lost his army!
After dawn, the Great Elder went to Rotlet's palace to find him and asked him to come forward to intercede with Lin Ruhai to see if he could pay less or less gold and silver. However, instead of agreeing to him, Rotlett told him that the army he had privately raised had been taken over by Rotlet's eldest son, and that the leader of the army had been beheaded.
The Great Elder broke out in a cold sweat, he never expected that the chief who had always been mediocre would become a person overnight. From Rottlet's eyes, the Great Elder could see that he was not joking, and that Rottlett had really taken the army he had raised for many years for himself.
"The elders are old, and they will still be at home in the future!" With only one sentence, Rottlett had his guards send the stunned Grand Elder back to his own home, and warned him not to leave the house again.
The Great Elder was angry and his eyelids rolled and fainted, but this time he was not as lucky as last night, although he saved his life, he suffered a stroke and was bedridden.
After Smith learned that the Great Elder had suffered a stroke, he led a group of people to break into the Great Elder's house and remove all the gold and silver that the Great Elder's family had hidden. The family of the Great Elder heard that the Great Elder had offended the gods because of his calculations against Lin Ruhai, and the gold and silver were to be compensated to the owner of Linjia Island. Their natural fear of Lin Jiadao not only did not prevent Smith from emptying their warehouse, but they also treated the Great Elder as a sinner from then on. After the news of the Great Elder spread, people's awe of Lin Jia Island became even heavier.
Smith looted nearly 80,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver from the Great Elder's house. But Smith doesn't have so much gold and silver in his own hands, and there is no way to sell all the goods in his hands for a while, after all, there is only half a day left, Lin Ruhai will leave tomorrow, he is really afraid that if he does not send the gold and silver to Lin Ruhai in time, he will die unconsciously. I had to select a blue diamond and a blood-red diamond from the best gems in my collection, both of which were bigger than pigeon eggs, and planned to take them to Lin Ruhai. These two diamonds were originally intended to be used as family heirlooms, but now for the sake of his own life, Smith can only endure the pain of love!
