Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 577: On the Issue of Compensation for Xiao Wei's Home_2


Committed to resolving things amicably, Bebella kept a smile on her face, deciding to probe the situation with careful language. As the saying goes, "no one hits a smiling face", regardless of how angry or vengeful the other party is, talking things out calmly and properly can usually lead to a solution. And after all, Zhang Liang was just an ordinary person, just what kind of unreasonable demands could he possibly make? They would meet his demands nonetheless.

With the financial resources of the Ragula family, they could easily afford him, Zhang Liang. Even if there were ten or a hundred Zhang Liangs, they could afford it. Though this might seem exaggerated and the Ragula family wouldn't give to so many people for no reason, this still serves to highlight the wealth and power of the family. They were worthy of being a top family in Maraca's Freedom Port. Compared to Samas, the Ragula family exudes even more of a regal demeanor!

With this in mind, Bebella finally spoke, saying, "Please feel free to voice any thoughts or desires, sir. The Ragula family will do its utmost to satisfy your requirements."

Bebella's sincere tone and genuine attitude managed to extinguish some of the anger in Zhang Liang's heart. However, who was Zhang Liang? A middle-aged man who had struggled outside for years to make money, a social underdog with big dreams for his life. He would not be fooled by Bebella's appearance. Life experience constantly reminded Zhang Liang that the more beautiful a woman, the more dangerous she could be. Especially a beautiful woman like Bebella with such a sincere attitude. A classic honey trap set by the Ragula family to minimize property damage! Despite Bebella no longer having the air of a young girl, her well-maintained skin and her mature feminine aura were all weapons that no man could resist.

Just as Zhang Liang was lost in thought, for some unknown reason, Bebella shivered, a quite sudden one at that. If she clearly knew what Zhang Liang was thinking, she would undoubtedly think him a fool and an idiot.

Zhang Liang didn't keep Bebella waiting for long and said coldly, "I want my farm back, a farm where I will never see any of you again."

Bebella's eyes flitted, and she agreed briskly, "Alright, I concede to your request. This farm always belonged to you. What my subordinates did, neither I nor the higher-ups in the family knew of it." The Ragula family wasn't just an ordinary family, they had countless businesses under their name, like hotels, resorts, other entertainment facilities, etc. In this era of widespread communication, how important is it to establish a good reputation? It wouldn't be smart to sabotage themselves like this. So, they genuinely hadn't known about this.

Zhang Liang laughed. To him, this beautiful woman's explanation was nothing more than a ploy to gain his sympathy and forgiveness, thereby increasing her own bargaining power. Zhang Liang figured she must be a master of psychology. Negotiating with such a person, these were the least of his concerns.

Zhang Liang simply had this kind of temperament, the more you tell him, the more he thinks. Therefore, he added: "No, that's not enough."

Bebella wasn't intimidated by Zhang Liang's slightly threatening expression. Any reasonable person would guess that he had more to say, okay then, she'd concede to him, let him continue.

At this point, Zhang Liang's face twisted with emotion, as if he was already somewhat out of control. He spoke, "I'm talking about all of the farms that the Ragula family owns in the Lam region, all of them."

Even the composed Bebella couldn't help but falter. A regular person like him making such an outrageous demand was somewhat shocking, and her face clearly showed a tinge of displeasure.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Liang snorted a chuckle, damn it! She was annoyed, well so was he! If it came down to it, he'd sacrifice his family if that's what it took. Men have their pride too. The Ragula family's oppression over time had already caused his family unbearable torment. If worst came to worst, he'd end it all.

Zhang Liang was aware that after making this demand, he might die. However, would the Ragula family be better off? No, that family would assuredly suffer many times worse than him. They would disintegrate, because he believed that Revenge Shadow Rider would act on behalf of every citizen, and would keep its promise. With the backing of Revenge Shadow Rider, Zhang Liang was ready to gamble everything.

If he could use a few lives to exchange for thousands from the family, then death was worth it. As Zhang Liang reckoned, it wasn't a bad deal. He guffawed, which could be construed as a question, his voice tinged with a hint of madness: "Are you trying to scare me with that expression?"

Just one sentence left Bebella startled by Zhang Liang's question. She had to admit that she had unconsciously made that face as a manipulative gesture towards him, seemingly unintentional but, in reality, subliminally pressuring him. She clearly knew what kind of person he was, a regular guy. Silence him was as simple as squishing an ant. However, she also had to consider who she was. Even such a trivial gesture could result in unprecedented pressure.

She was subtly expressing her stance - Zhang Liang's demand exceeded the bottom line of Ragula family's tolerance and could even be described as excessive. Nonetheless, with Zhang Liang's words, Bebella felt terrible. Like she had been seen through, the feeling equivalent to failing to show off and getting a slap on the face instead.
