The second Bai iyue looked at the woman, and she knew that the woman was trouble. Especially when she saw the scowl on her face. From the looks of it, even in the apocalypse this woman was a big shot and bringing such a big shot into her mansion was bound to bring trouble.
"I won’t take her in," Bai iyue refused at once. It wasn’t that she was afraid of trouble but this woman just looked way too an and pampered with a rich background; she didn’t dare to bring this woman in her mansion lest this woman suddenly start acting up.
Which she was bound to do.
If that happened, then the man behind her would certainly look for trouble. Bai iyue was not scared of trouble but she wanted to spend the rest of her pregnancy in peace rather than tussling with soone.
The n behind the woman were all supernatural ability users; even when the woman didn’t have an ounce of ability, these n who were second or third ability users were willing to follow her, which showed that the woman was not simple and the man behind her was even more difficult to handle. She might as well not get entangled in this ss.
Whoever was the owner of this monkey should take care of this circus. She was not the one who owned it.
Fox was not surprised when he heard Bai iyue’s rejection. He knew that she had never been the kind of person who would let trouble rise around her. He sighed and bowed in front of her, "Please just let her stay for a few days. Her husband would soon co and take her away. Till then, just till then, keep her in your mansion. I promise that I will send two hundred crystal nuclei in exchange for her living expenses and one hundred crystal nuclei for the bodyguards next to her."
"You don’t need to worry about their food or water; they can find it themselves. You just need to give them a place to stay where they would be able to live a good life without losing their lives."
Bai iyue was still frowning hard. Though what Fox said was quite tempting, Bai iyue still had her rationality intact. Even if these people could find their own food, which ant that these people were certainly water and wood-type users, she could see that the woman was way too delicate. She was bound to cause trouble in one way or another.
When Fox saw that the woman was still not willing, he sighed and said, "How about this? This woman is like my weak spot. The husband of this woman is my good brother; he saved my life countless tis and I owe him a lot. Before he left, he handed his wife to and asked to promise that I would take care of the child in her belly."
"With the woman in your grasp, you won’t have to worry about betraying you or joining hands with Yu Miaomiao. We are no longer on opposite sides but on the sa side; don’t you think that it’s better this way? It’s a good pawn in your hand."
Indeed it was a good pawn but Bai iyue didn’t want to agree right away. She glanced at the woman and said, "I will agree but let tell you, if this woman makes a ss in my mansion, you will have to bring compensation for her ss."
"And it won’t be less than a thousand crystal nuclei."
If not for the fact that she wanted to kill Yu Miaomiao, the woman who was one of the mbers of the research team that dissected her son and used him as a dicinal pill ingredient, she would have never bothered to even join hands together with soone like Fox. The man was too sly but he was one of the pillars of the safe base and with him by her side, she would have an easier ti killing Yu Miaomiao and fulfilling a part of her revenge.
She then pointed to the other survivors and stated, "They have to work but you also need to pay for their living expenses. Just doing so agre jobs is not enough to get a bowl of white polished rice, vegetables and at. Unless you agree to send fifty crystal nuclei for them, I will not take them in. You were the one who arranged the market price of the supplies in the safe base, so you should know that what I am asking for is reasonable. The rice you sold was sold for ninety crystal nuclei."
It was Fox’s turn to be embarrassed now. He never thought that his little sches would one day co back to bite him in the arse like this.
"...Fine. If you want to do it like this, then I agree," said Fox with a hint of grimace in his tone. Fifty crystal nuclei were fifty nuclei; he was going to pay for them. It was better to hand the nuclei to Bai iyue rather than let the ability users think that he bullied and unfairly treated their family mbers. He couldn’t let those ability users follow Bai Feng.
It was bad enough that they had already taken most of the ability users.
On the other side, the young miss was sniffing in disdain. She looked around the rough surroundings and then said to the bodyguard behind her, "What kind of place did Fox bring to? He said that he was bringing to a better place than the safe base but is it really a good place? It’s so hot in here!"
She then turned on her feet and walked over to Fox. Her bottom ended up getting smashed on the pile of pig waste that was lying in the corner and she shrieked in disgust. "Fox! Fox! What kind of place is this? It’s so dirty. I don’t want to stay here. Take away; just take away. Eww!"
