Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1421: Chapter 1420 Unfair

The banquet that followed essentially became a meeting for these people to divide up the family assets.

As per the agreement, Su Yang took away ten percent. Although this ten percent was not much, it perfectly complemented the Shen Family Courtyard that Su Yang currently had, which was the most critical aspect.

As for the remainder, it was divided among those present.

Of course, Su Yang wouldn’t meddle in the division of these assets. How these people divided them and whether they did it fairly was not Su Yang’s concern.

All he needed to do was to hand over the goods; after all, they didn’t belong to him. How they were divided was their business. And if he arranged it in advance, giving these people their shares, it could inevitably cause dissatisfaction and even make people think he was too autocratic, deciding everything on his own, which would not be good.

After discussing for over two hours, these people finally reached an agreement, and they all seemed quite content. As to whether the division was fair, that was not something Su Yang needed to worry about.

At the end of the banquet, Su Yang raised his glass once again.

”It seems that everyone has had some good discussions. With that, today’s feast comes to an end,” spoke Su Yang in a loud voice. ”I don’t expect you all to immediately treat me as a friend, but after leaving here, at least we are no longer enemies. I also hope that you will keep your promises, from today onwards, no matter what difficulties I, Su Yang, encounter, I will not blame you if you do not help. However, should anyone still kick me when I’m down, once Su Mou has a chance to deal with it, there will definitely be no more opportunity for reconciliation. Please take this to heart!”

The crowd shouted one after another: ”Master Su, rest assured, from now on, we are friends. Your affairs are our affairs!”

”That’s right, whoever dares to do such a despicable thing, I’ll be the first one to not forgive them!”

”Me too!”

The crowd shouted as if they really had a close relationship with Su Yang.

Su Yang smiled lightly and nodded as if very satisfied. In fact, only he knew that the words of these people were not very trustworthy. If Su Yang really encountered any trouble, these people would definitely not help. The only thing Su Yang could do was to ensure that these people would not kick him when he was down at critical moments!

Next, Su Yang would have to confront the Medicine Sect, and perhaps even more powerful forces.

The reason why Su Yang was so eager to pacify the families of the Capital City was that he knew his current situation well; he had to concentrate all his efforts to deal with the Medicine Sect.

After seeing off these people, Su Yang returned to the conference room, where about twenty or thirty people still sat.

These people had not gone to the banquet. By the time they thought about going to the banquet hall, it was too late, as Zhao Hu Zi and others simply did not let them in.

This immediately threw these people into a panic, thinking Su Yang now regarded them as enemies. Therefore, they didn’t dare to flee and just sat there staring, waiting.

After all, Su Yang had said that attending the banquet meant you were his friend, and leaving straight away meant you were his enemy. So they sat there without leaving, perhaps still hoping for a chance to negotiate.

As they sat there, they also kept an eye on the banquet. When they saw people receiving three bottles of Minor Rejuvenation Pills, they immediately regretted it.

If they had known to join the banquet earlier, they would not have to be so passive now, and they could have gotten three bottles of Minor Rejuvenation Pills. That’s three bottles a year, fully compensating for the losses they had suffered before.

They also heard later that Su Yang could refine the Pill of Foundational Fortification. Adding on the division of the assets from the families that Su Yang had wiped out made them even more envious and regretful to the core. If it weren’t for their great fear of Su Yang, they really would have wanted to rush into the banquet and divide up these benefits as well.

The banquet ended, and amidst these people’s hopeful anticipation, Su Yang finally entered the conference room.

Seeing Su Yang come in, everyone exchanged glances. Finally, one of the men stood up: ”Master Su, we have made up our minds. We think you’re right. As the saying goes, it’s better to settle feuds than to hold onto them. Let’s leave the past in the past. Therefore, we’ve decided to agree to your proposal!”

Su Yang smiled faintly: ”Thank you all for your support!”

The people stared straight at Su Yang. Was that it, just a thank you? Shouldn’t each person get three bottles of Minor Rejuvenation Pills, the promise of the Pill of Foundational Fortification, and the division of those family assets?

”Since everyone has reached a consensus, then tonight’s banquet has come to a successful conclusion!” Su Yang said with a smile: ”Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t see you out!”

The crowd was stunned all at once. What did this mean? It’s over just like that? A simple thank you and it’s done? Aren’t you going to give us anything?

Seeing Su Yang was about to leave, one of the men hurriedly said: ”No, Master Su, are...are you leaving now?”

All eyes were fixed on Su Yang; they had knelt down tonight, losing all face, and wouldn’t be able to explain themselves once home. If they could take something back with them, maybe they could shut up all the idle talks. These items were very important to them!

”It’s getting late; it’s time to go back and rest,” said Su Yang with a smile.

”But...” The man said awkwardly, ”you...you’ve just given them three bottles of Minor Rejuvenation Pills, and also...also the Pill of Foundational Fortification, and those family assets, this...this...”

The others also looked straight at Su Yang, implying that if you could give them things, you should also give us something, right?

”Oh, you’re talking about those!” Su Yang shrugged: ”They were the first to support me, so naturally, I had to give them some benefits!”

”But we support you now too!” the man said anxiously.

”But, you’re too late!” Su Yang sighed and shook his head: ”If you had entered the banquet, you naturally would have enjoyed all of that. However, you hesitated for too long. If I gave you these things now, wouldn’t that be unfair to them? That could even cause some unnecessary troubles, don’t you think?”

The few people were confounded. If they didn’t get any benefits, wasn’t this all a waste of their efforts?

”Master Su, this...this is too unfair!” the leading man said indignantly: ”You gave them so much, and we get nothing, that doesn’t make sense at all. Yes, we were a bit late, but could this be a decision we could make on our own? Doesn’t this involve consulting with our family? Our families might be slow, but in the end, we still chose to support you. The way you’re doing this, this is truly unfair...”
