Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Ye Feng sat in his wheelchair, fixing his gaze on Cui Hao, "You say I get to set the conditions?"

Cui Hao said with a smile, "Indeed, Mr. Ye, feel free to state your price!"

"Very well, I want half of all your families' assets!"

Ye Feng said, "Each family, if you wish for my help, must hand over half of your assets!"

"Half of the family assets? Why don't you just rob us!"

The Deputy Family Head of the Yan Family immediately bristled and glared, "Do you know, not to mention the Cui Family, just half of my Yan Family's assets are worth how much money, not to mince words, but at the very least several tens of billions. You really have the nerve to ask for that much."

Cui Hao's expression also darkened considerably. The color drained from his face as the Yan Family was only a second-tier family in the Southern River Region Jiangnan, while his Cui Family, being one of the Four Great Families of Jiangnan Province, had assets worth a few hundred billion for just half.

He had initially thought that even if the other party asked for a very high price, it would be no more than two or three billion. After all, this was just to save one person, and it would already be an exorbitant price. But Cui Hao could never have anticipated that the other party would ask for something even more immense than the heavens themselves.

"Mr. Ye," Cui Hao said, his tone now carrying the hint of annoyance and threat, "Asking for too much can sometimes be indigestible, and you might just burst!"

Ye Feng responded with a cold chuckle, neither confirming nor denying, "Does that mean you can't do it?"

"It's impossible to do!"

Cui Hao said emphatically with a snort, "Not to mention half, even one-fifth of the assets, we definitely can't do!"

The Deputy Family Head of the Yan Family narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Ye, by making such exorbitant demands, it seems like you genuinely have no intention to negotiate, do you?"

Ye Feng turned to look at him, "Negotiate? Why not? I've changed my mind now, I don't want half of your assets."

Cui Hao couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "I knew it; this young fellow just wanted to inflate the price initially and then press us down. This is a common tactic used by merchants, and now it seems reasonable."

But what Ye Feng said next left him completely astounded once again.

Ye Feng stated, "This time I don't want half of your assets, I want them all!"

"If you agree, then come and find me!" After saying this, Ye Feng turned his wheelchair and slowly made his way inside the courtyard of the Divine Doctor Sect.

Cui Hao and the deputy heads of several large families were left frozen in place, watching the back of Ye Feng, not knowing what to say for a time.

After a long while, Cui Hao finally gritted his teeth and said, "This ungrateful fool, the Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family, is truly unbearably arrogant!"

The representative from the Yan Family said, "He wants all the assets of our families? Why doesn't he just go rob someone? It's absolutely ludicrous!"

"This young man, he doesn't have the slightest intention to negotiate with us. He is humiliating us, this is utterly outrageous!"

The many family representatives were seething with anger. Cui Hao squinted his eyes and pronounced each word, "This man truly does not intend to save anyone, since he has shown no mercy, don't blame us for our lack of righteousness!"

The representative from the Yan Family asked, "Deputy Head of the Cui Family, since this Mr. Ye from the Hong Family doesn't intend to save him, what should we do next?"

"That's not hard to solve!"

Cui Hao sneered coldly, revealing Elder Zhang's cunning face, and snorted, "Originally thought, a few hundred million would be enough to send the kid away, but now it seems he sincerely refuses to save the day. Since that's the case, we're left with no other path but Pang Dahai."

"According to intelligence, Pang Dahai has used his connections to invite an officer from the headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect in the imperial capital," someone explained.

A representative from one of the families asked, "What does Pang Dahai want with an officer from the headquarters?"

"What else? Naturally, it's for that Medical Acupuncture Technique in Ye Feng's possession that can remove and heal the Gu and Poison!" Cui Hao huffed.

A representative from the Yan Family murmured, "Does that mean that Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family's Needle Technique really belongs to Master Pang, and was actually stolen by that Ye lad?"

Cui Hao gave him a disdainful look and snorted, "What kind of character do you think Pang Dahai has? Would he mention it if he didn't see the huge benefits of the technique? If he didn't say as much, how would he stand to gain?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, nodding in agreement, "Indeed, what we can confirm now is that this Frenzied Son-in-Law's Medical Acupuncture Technique can indeed remove Gu and Poison. Yet this Ye fellow refuses to lend a hand to save our family head. If Pang Dahai can take possession of it, then the initiative will be in Pang Dahai's hands."

"By then, no matter what terms Pang Dahai sets, even if it's several hundred million, we'll still have to obediently agree. Pang Dahai truly is despicable!"

Cui Hao sighed and said, "Whether that Ye fellow really stole Master Pang's technique isn't important. We don't care about that; what we're concerned about now is whether Pang Dahai can get his hands on that technique!"

"From the attitude of that Ye fellow earlier, it's clear he has no intention of helping. Our only hope now is if Pang Dahai, that old traitor, manages to acquire it."

"So, when we go in later, we must unify our statements and firmly support Pang Dahai. With the support of that eminent figure from the imperial capital, and under his pressure, Pang Dahai should have a very good chance."

As Cui Hao spoke, his eyes narrowed into two sinister slits, "Once Pang Dahai gets it, that will mark the end for the kid. To provoke us so brazenly, without any regard for our position, we must kill him to quell our wrath."

Ye Feng didn't deliberately listen to their discussions at the door, as he wasn't interested. Of course, even without using his Inner Strength to hear, he could still guess what they were saying.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to help the dying. Ye Feng had initially proposed the establishment of the Divine Doctor Sect with the intention of saving lives and aiding the injured.

However, as the Northern Border King, a ruler in his own right, he naturally had his own medical ethics!

The first principle was not to save those who were arrogant and despondent. The second was not to save those who were contemptuous and looked down on others. And the third was not to save those who committed evils!

And these principles, these great families had nearly managed to violate them all.

Had the deputy heads of the families been able to humble themselves and earnestly apologise and plead at the gate, Ye Feng might have considered helping after dealing with the Gu&Poison Sect. But their performance had been utterly disgraceful!

After passing by the pavilions, rockeries, and even a small lake in the courtyard, Ye Feng finally arrived at the main hall.

Pang Dahai was quite arrogant and had not come out to greet him. Even as Ye Feng's wheelchair was about to enter the hall, Pang Dahai remained seated, not bothering to stand—an extremely haughty attitude.

"At last you've come, they say that a guilty conscience needs no accuser, but your nerve seems to be quite sturdy!" Pang Dahai directly started with sarcasm.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The hall was already occupied by many high-ranking members of the Divine Doctor Sect, including Sect Master Qi Tianmen of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect.

Pang Dahai sat in the main seat, which suggested that the officer from the headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect in the imperial capital hadn't yet arrived.

Ye Feng retorted with a cold smile, "You spew slander without a shred of evidence, your own nerve doesn't seem too bad either, does it?"

Before Pang Dahai could respond, Sect Master Qi Tianmen from the side coldly interjected, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Ye? To say that Master Pang is slandering you is absurd. What status does Master Pang hold, and what standing do you have? How could he slander you?"
