"What are the conditions? As long as our He Family can fulfill them, we'll definitely comply!"
He Qishan imdiately responded upon hearing this.
"Since I am making demands, naturally they are things you can accomplish!"
The alchemist with the surna Hao smiled aningfully.
"Alright, go ahead."
He Qishan said, thinking, even if the price is steep, as long as it can cure my father, it's worth it!
"The first condition is, I want one-third of your He Family's assets!"
The alchemist glanced at a few people and spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, He Qishan, the woman, and Uncle Bing gasped!
They anticipated the asking price might be harsh, but didn't expect it to be this extre!
The He Family is a family of rchants, those assets were accumulated over many generations!
And now, this person asks for one-third right off the bat!
Su Chen laughed coldly inside, feeling this was blatant exploitation!
At this mont, He Qishan and the woman exchanged a glance and nodded at each other!
They naturally realized the other party was exploiting the situation, and wouldn't easily relent!
Fortunately, money can be earned back, but a life lost is gone forever!
"Alright, I agree!"
He Qishan nodded deeply and said:
"Please state your second condition!"
"The second condition is very simple!"
Saying this, the alchemist looked at the woman:
"I am short of a woman to do laundry and cook als. I hope you'll work hard for a while, no longer than a month!"
He had a quirk, unlike most who preferred young, beautiful won; he particularly liked middle-aged won, especially those with character!
"Get lost!"
Upon hearing this, He Qishan imdiately flew into a rage, pointed at Master Hao, and shouted.
He wasn't foolish and understood the implication of the other's words!
Previously, the other party demanded one-third of the assets, which he endured for his father's life!
But he hadn't expected the other party to propose such a shaless demand!
The woman trembled with anger as well; she hadn't anticipated the alchemist being so brazen!
The elderly Uncle Bing, his eyes bloodshot, wished he could punch the alchemist standing not far away to death!
But this person was tied to the Family Head's life, so he restrained himself!
He Qishan also endured for this reason, saying to the other:
"Your demand is truly excessive; we cannot agree!"
"I've stated my terms, consider them carefully."
Master Hao smiled lecherously:
"Let remind you, this ti is different from last ti; without , he won't survive tonight!"
He Qishan and the woman were caught in a dilemma upon hearing this!
Firstly, the other's demand was absolutely unacceptable, as it was a bottom line!
For even if the father (husband) is saved, he'd rather die!
Furthermore, the woman couldn't bring herself to do such a thing, she found the alchemist disgusting, and He Qishan also couldn't allow it to happen!
But, can they really watch their father (husband) die before their eyes?
They just couldn't!
...
"Who says that without you, he won't survive tonight?"
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded abruptly!
"Who are you? Where did you co from?!"
Originally triumphant, Master Hao's expression darkened as he shouted when he heard this.
"Who I am is irrelevant, just know that if you can save soone, so can I!"
Su Chen smiled casually.
"Boy, you're really unaware of your own limitations. I'm a Second-Level Alchemist, how dare you compare with !"
Master Hao snorted coldly.
"Just a Second-Level Alchemist, I thought it was sothing remarkable!"
Su Chen retorted disdainfully.
"Quite the boast!"
Master Hao's eyes flashed sharply.
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, not just Master Hao, but even He Qishan, his mother, and Uncle Bing thought he was being overly arrogant!
"Qishan, who is he?"
The woman asked curiously.
"He's a friend I just t."
He Qishan replied, intending to offer more information but had little to introduce.
Then, he walked to Su Chen's side, earnestly asking:
"Brother, this is no joke; can you truly cure my father?"
"Can't guarantee it, since I haven't seen the patient yet."
Su Chen said:
"But I can assure you, if this damned alchemist can save him, then I definitely can!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, He Qishan and the woman's eyes lit up!
If Su Chen had claid it was absolutely no problem, they wouldn't have believed him. His cautious optimism made them trust a little bit!
Of course, it's just a little bit!
"Truly!"
Su Chen smiled softly.
Looking at Su Chen's confident deanor, He Qishan sohow felt his confidence grow!
"Alright!"
He turned and said to the woman:
"Mother, I'll make the decision on this matter!"
The woman nodded upon hearing this; she was naturally reserved, usually listening to her husband, but now in her husband's coma, she deferred to her son!
Furthermore, there seed to be no other options!
"Alright, we entrust this to you!"
He Qishan solemnly said to Su Chen.
"You're insane! Trusting such a brat!"
Then, Master Hao suddenly burst out laughing!
"We don't need your concern, get out of here!"
He Qishan shouted sternly, now not wanting to see this shaless person a mont longer!
"Boy, you dare to ruin my plans!"
At this point, the alchemist suddenly struck a blow towards Su Chen!
Had it not been for this young lad, and a bit more pressure, success might have been possible!
Seeing the alchemist's punch headed his way, Su Chen couldn't help but smile coldly!
While he awaited the alchemist to approach, the nearer Uncle Bing had already moved!
"Bang!"
With that, Uncle Bing gave Master Hao a direct palm strike, sending him flying out the door!
Master Hao, only in the Great Perfection of the Heaven's Ultimate Realm, stood no chance against Uncle Bing, who was nearing the Cave Void Realm!
Thus, sending the other party flying was to be expected!
The alchemist, crashing onto the stone slabs outside, couldn't help but spit out two mouthfuls of blood!
"Young Master He, take to see your father first."
Su Chen said.
"Okay, please follow ."
He Qishan imdiately replied, then led Su Chen to his father's bedroom.
The woman and Uncle Bing naturally followed behind.
Soon, they arrived in a spacious room.
In the room, there was a bed about two ters wide, on which lay a pallid, bloodless middle-aged man.
This man was naturally He Zeyuan, He Qishan's father, and the Family Head of the He Family...
