Protect Our Clan Leader

“Waiter, bring the food, bring the good wine.”

Wang Licui, familiar with the place, entered the Immortal Welcoming Building and got an oversized table by the street to entertain the newly acquainted Barbarian Giant Clan.

Soon enough, the food and drinks came up one after another. After a few sips of wine and exchanging cups, everyone quickly became familiar.

“By the way, Old Cang,” Wang Licui suddenly remembered what the Cangping God Emperor had just mentioned and turned to look at him, “what delicious thing did you say you brought for me?”

“This…” The Cangping God Emperor glanced at Licui and then at the surrounding rowdy group, and whispered to her, “I’ll give it to you separately later; you can eat it slowly.”

“Old Cang, we’re all friends here, don’t be so stingy. Why don’t you just pretend I’m eating the whole lot?”

“Alright, alright.” The Cangping God Emperor took out a several-hundred-pound piece of Level Fifteen dragon leg meat and emphasized, “This is my family heirloom.”

“This is prime meat~ Old Cang, you’re so good to me.” Wang Licui’s eyes gleamed upon sensing the pure vital energy emanating from the dragon leg meat.

Sure enough, she didn’t look into the origins of this dragon leg meat and directly handed it over to the waiter, asking the kitchen to prepare it.

Such a piece of meat, when faced with a group of big eaters, was really only enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

However, after this incident, the Barbarian Giants’ attitude towards “Old Cang” became much warmer. This human, like Licui, was indeed a straightforward person.

After some more rounds of exchanging cups.

Wang Licui barely filled her stomach, then brought up the old issue: “Cliff Destruction, tell me again, how much salary are you owed from above?”

“We haven’t been paid for a thousand years.” Cliff Destruction sighed, “All in all, they owe our Stone Hammer Tribe a total of 9300 Immortal Spirit Stones.”

“That’s too much!” Wang Licui gasped.

Immortal Spirit Stones, that’s 93 Chaos Spirit Stones! If someone owed her that many Chaos Spirit Stones, she’d definitely have the heart to cut them down.

She immediately stood in solidarity with Cliff Destruction, slammed the table, and angrily said, “How can they be so shameless, owing money and not paying back. You’re fighting for them, and they even dare to withhold life-risking money! It’s despicable!”

“Impossible!” The Cangping God Emperor jumped up as well, angry, “Our Divine Dynasty allocates funds once every ten years, not a single shilling was owed to the Stone Hammer Tribe.”

With these words, all eyes immediately turned to him.

“Old Cang, how do you know about the funding?” Wang Licui asked in surprise.

“Well…” The Cangping God Emperor appeared at a loss for words, stammering, “Don’t I have a rich relative? I heard it from him last time.”

“A rich relative? Probably the same breed as that old man from Divine Que.” Wang Licui sneered, showing little trust.

“Licui, Old Cang,” Cliff Destruction directly took out a booklet and slapped it on the table, “Our Stone Hammer Tribe’s giants never lie, these are all IOUs signed by the Void Sea Headquarters.”

Wang Licui took a look and immediately started calculating: “According to the defense agreement, the Barbarian Giant Stone Hammer Tribe must maintain no less than… 15,000 warriors from Level Nine to Level Ten, 800 from Level Eleven to Level Twelve, 50 from Level Thirteen to Level Fourteen, 3 from Level Fifteen to Level Sixteen, with the Barbarian Giant King spending most of the time on the front line.”

Then, she flipped through the IOUs in the back, finding indeed that the escort employment fees of a thousand years had not been settled.

All the IOUs bore the seals of the Void Sea Headquarters, along with the divine sense imprints of the related personnel, impossible to forge. Adding up all these IOUs, the total debt reached 9300 Immortal Spirit Stones.

“Old Cang, see for yourself, what more can you say?” Wang Licui handed the ledger to the Cangping God Emperor, “The accounts of the Stone Hammer Tribe are crystal clear, your relative indeed is something else.”

The Cangping God Emperor’s expression turned slightly grave.

He took the ledger and looked through, checking the seals and divine sense imprints on the IOUs, then calculated all the debts again, his expression finally changed completely: “Licui, you’re right, my relative indeed is not a good person. Withholding pay is indeed wrong. I can help pull some strings to expedite the payment through the court.”

“Pull strings my ass!” Wang Licui said angrily, “Paying debts is an obligation; moreover, this is their hard-earned money.”

“Licui.” The Barbarian Giant King Gangba Plate, standing to the side, said gravely, “We’re very thankful that you can speak for our Stone Hammer Tribe. However, if Old Cang can help us pull some strings, that’s already very good, and we’re very grateful.”

“Alas~~ If it weren’t for the huge amount of back wages owed, with our young adult giants on the battlefield, and the children and elderly of the Stone Hammer Tribe almost unable to survive, we wouldn’t have the audacity to come to the Divine Capital to demand pay.”

“No need to pull any strings. I’m going to Divine Que to ask that old man now, is he going to pay or not! If he doesn’t, I’ll make a big fuss in Luojing, let everyone know that the old man doesn’t pay back debts.” Wang Licui stood up, rolling up her sleeves, ready to stir up trouble.

“Wait!” The Cangping God Emperor was frightened and hurriedly held Wang Licui back, “Licui, don’t be hasty or impulsive. Leave it to me; I’ll definitely get the back wages recovered.”

Usually composed and unflustered, he was now breaking out in a cold sweat.

If Wang Licui really makes a scene, where would he put his old face? It would be a disgrace to the ancestors of the Xuanyuan clan~~

“Old Cang, you’re truly generous and loyal.” Wang Licui patted his shoulder, “No wonder you’re even better at eating than I am, people like us with big appetites tend to have good hearts. Unlike those who sit high and mighty every day, each of them is a cold heart.”
