Chapter Summary
If they had just rushed through without any fighting, it would have been fine, but if there was fighting, they wouldn't have been able to unleash their full potential. Currently, only Liu Ning's team remains, and I believe their chances of returning are very high..." He would only say this when asked the question last time; otherwise, he would never speak. The casino had agreed that as long as Liu Ning brought the items out intact and without any inspection, Zhenhua would give Liu Ning 50%.
They would rest for three minutes and then continue advancing for 20 minutes. It was through this constant alternation that they slowly approached the city. If they had just rushed through without any fighting, it would have been fine, but if there was fighting, they wouldn't have been able to unleash their full potential. So, rest and advancement were alternated, and they couldn't afford to miss either one.
You guys are dreaming if you only give me 10%. I'm not doing this for free. Even if it were free, 10% wouldn't be enough. I wouldn't help you with anything less than 50%. Besides, Windmill City is so chaotic. We don't know what's going on inside. What if your people aren't in the inner city? Wouldn't I have to search the outside for you? 10% is too little for me.
Another issue is that your money is ill-gotten. Liu Ning knows perfectly well where the collateral in the casino comes from. You guys have made a lot of money, and we're just making a little money by following you. If your money is beneficial to the people, Liu Ning certainly wouldn't ask for an exorbitant amount. Now we're robbing the rich to help the poor, so how could we possibly ask for less?
In Zheng Hua's office, Zheng Hua awkwardly glanced at his microphone, then looked at a woman sitting in the main seat. This woman was Zheng Hua's immediate superior, in charge of casinos in five surrounding cities, and also a member of the Wang family.
"This kid has some nerve, daring to ask for 50%. Doesn't he know who our backers are?"
The voice from the microphone had already drifted over. This woman was also at the Intermediate Battle General level; how could she not hear Liu Ning's words? After hearing them, she became extremely angry. "Do you know what 50% is? The casino has been operating there for so many years, accumulating countless treasures. The items in the storage space are the finest of the fine; any one of them is priceless. And now you want 50%..."
Zheng Hua remained silent. If it were up to Zheng Hua, he could have agreed to Liu Ning's request earlier. If he hadn't, these things might not have ended up in their hands. Liu Ning was a man of principle; as long as you followed the agreement, he wouldn't go too far.
At least they wouldn't do anything like adding a markup in the middle, and Liu Ning would never open that space in advance. If someone opened the storage space in advance, they might run away with those people. It's already good that they can get 50% back now. If Liu Ning and the others don't go in, everything will turn to ashes after the inner city is breached.
What do you think?
Normally, Madam Wang doesn't manage the casino much, leaving it to the managers below. Zheng Hua manages this casino quite well, so when problems arise, Madam Wang will ask Zheng Hua for his opinion, and there are always reasons for it.
"In reply to Madam, 50% is indeed a significant percentage, but for us, every bit we recover reduces our losses. I just received news that although the Human Council dispatched several rescue teams, most of them have failed. Currently, only Liu Ning's team remains, and I believe their chances of returning are very high..."
He would only say this when asked the question last time; otherwise, he would never speak. Zheng Hua presented his smart device to Madam Wang, which contained a message he had just received from the Jia family, one of the four great families.
Upon seeing the source of the information, Madam Wang naturally believed it to be true. If the Jia family were to provide false information, they would never do so to the casino, given that the Jia family held the largest stake in the casino and would certainly bear the brunt of any losses.
Madam Wang fell silent at this moment. Casinos and major families in every city have their own treasure vaults. If any problems arise, they will put these things in the treasure vault and then try to transport them out. If the storage space is large enough, they will naturally be transported out along with the storage space. However, they have accumulated too many things, and the storage space simply cannot hold them all, so they have to put them in the treasure vault.
But the situation is different now. After the city fell, the Human Council was prepared to abandon it. There is still a chance to transport the goods out now. If this place becomes the territory of ferocious beasts, no matter how strong your small team is, you probably won't be able to get them out. Moreover, the connection between the city and the outside world is in imminent danger and may be cut off soon. If those managers inside lose the items, their small teams will have no way to search for them.
There is still order in the inner city, but as resources gradually dwindle, this order is likely to become increasingly chaotic. When the burning, killing, and looting begin, it will be impossible to transport things out. Therefore, time is money now. Even if Liu Ning doesn't give them a 20-minute deadline, they will make a decision as quickly as possible.
"We can't contact headquarters now. If we don't give this kid such a high percentage, he probably won't do anything for us. But if we give him such a high percentage, I won't be able to explain it to headquarters."
Madam Wang hesitated for a moment before speaking. Although Madam Wang's status was already quite high, there were still various management bodies above her. If things were not handled properly, her position would be unstable. After leaving the casino, not many people would respect her, and she had offended quite a few people over the years.
"Madam, as the saying goes, 'Where there's life, there's hope.' If we can't bring this out, our loss will be a whole number. But if we can, we can at least get half back, and our accounts won't be too badly deficited..."
Zheng Hua is a very decisive young man. If Zheng Hua were in charge, he would choose to cooperate with Liu Ning even if Liu Ning only brought out 1/10 of them. Anything is better than nothing. It would be extremely foolish to be so concerned about the ratio now.
A dozen minutes later, Liu Ning contacted Zheng Hua again. The casino had agreed that as long as Liu Ning brought the items out intact and without any inspection, Zhenhua would give Liu Ning 50%. There was also an electronic agreement that if either party violated it, they would have to compensate more than three times the amount of the money.
