Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 1037

Chapter 1037 - Highway Robbery

Chapter 1037 Highway Robbery

Since they decided to compensate, how they would actually pay up became a very important matter.

To be honest, Salas was completely terrified.

Hong Xingyu was indeed someone who murdered people freely without a second thought. He also had the eerie ability that could disintegrate anyone he touched! Who would not take this man seriously?

Unexpectedly, Hong Xingyu suddenly raised his hand without warning and placed it on a High Noble’s shoulder. The High Noble instantly turned pale from fear, his legs trembled, and sweat dripped down his body.

Hong Xingyu said slowly, “Try to cut the crap. If I hear any nonsense, I’ll kill one person. I don’t like the looks of this guy, so I’ll start with him.”

The mysterious man and Jiang Dongliu were considered big figures who had been through plenty in life, but even they were stunned. They looked at Hong Xingyu with much more respect. From the looks of things, this member of the Shenglong Royal Family’s smile was probably only reserved for Hong Dali.

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Salas hurriedly opened his mouth. “We will pay one trillion Dimu Dollars…”

Unexpectedly, the moment he said that a gut-wrenching scream was heard. The High Noble’s eyes almost popped out. His body slowly disintegrated into pieces, then dust.

Everyone felt their hair stand. Obviously, Hong Xingyu was deeply dissatisfied with what Salas just said.

Hong Xingyu walked in front of the next High Noble.

Old Madam Hua Yueling eerily reminded. “Are you trying to appease a beggar with that money? I’ll be a good person today and remind you. This money is reserved for my sweetheart to squander. Do as you see fit.”

Everyone collapsed.

This was probably the first time someone asked for money so righteously, so outrageously, and so fiercely, without the other side daring to reject!

“Five hundred trillion! Five hundred trillion Dimu Dollars!” Salas yelled at the top of his lungs. “This money will be our tribute to the Young Master Dali!” He pleaded. “Young Master Dali, please say something for us. Please say something for us!”

“Oh, that number is kind of acceptable. Oh right, Sister Xiaoyi.” Hong Dali asked Ling Xiaoyi. “How much is five hundred trillion in Shenglong Dollars? Help me calculate…” Hm, Hong Dali’s math must have been taught by his PE teacher…

“250 billion Shenglong Dollars, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi quickly gave the answer.

“You’re calling me a 250?! [Note: 250 is slang for idiot in Mandarin]” Hong Dali raged and kicked Salas down. “300 billion Shenglong Dollars, make it a full number! Don’t you dare try and shortchange me a single cent!”

That’s right!

The Old Madam smiled. This was how a highway robbery should go! If there was an excuse, they must use it to fleece them. If not, they also must create an excuse to fleece them!

The mysterious man, Hong Weiguo, and the rest stared in bewilderment. Did this bastard Hong Dali really not know how to calculate…

“What else?” Hong Dali naturally took the chance to continue gloating. “I won’t do it if there isn’t enough good stuff!”

“There are! There are!” Salas gave up resisting completely. “Five hundred +15 gems…”

The Old Madam was relatively satisfied with that.

Those were considered decent items. Gems with fifteen attribute points! Those would be rare commodity no matter where they went. Maybe not worth 300 billion Shenglong Dollars, but still decent items. The most crucial thing was that they were extremely rare. You might not even find a single one on an entire planet.

However, the problem was that Hong Dali lacked everything except for stones. He still had a whole pile of unused gemstones. They were all super-rare stones with seventeen or eighteen attribute points. Naturally, he did not care about those things. Hence, he shook his head fiercely. “No, no. I have plenty of that trash. Nope. Not worth money!”

That trash?!

Even Hong Xingyu was stunned. Although the Shenglong Royal Family had plenty of +20 gems, the ones offered were still considered decent. The most crucial thing was that there was a high demand for them. Normal people could not even lay their hands on them. In the end, this sweetheart said that he had plenty of it?!

Of course, they agreed with whatever Hong Dali said. The Old Madam humphed. “Did you hear that? My sweetheart isn’t satisfied. Change.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Madam. But, but what should I change it to?” To be honest, nothing that the High Nobles had was worth much to the Shenglong Royal Family. Think about it, for money, they already promised 300 billion Shenglong Dollars. For items, what could they possibly want? Space carriers? Those weren’t really good items…

In the end, Hong Dali touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, “Forget it. You probably don’t how much. How about this. I won’t be too mean. Inhabitable life planets. Give me a few hundred of those. You must have them, right?”

Life Planets? Those were not worth anything. Salas instantly nodded. “Yes, yes! Young Master Dali, we will give you 500 Life Planets! We will make sure they all have a nice environment that’s suitable for humans to inhabit! You can do whatever you want to them! They will be located not too far away from the Milky Way, for your convenience in managing them!”

Other things aside, the last point made Hong Dali very satisfied.

Closer to the Milky Way. This way, it would be more convenient for him to check on them along the way when he returned. The most crucial thing was that the Shenglong Astral was too huge. A Dimu Star Sector alone contained over 2,000 galaxies, and there were over 2,000 Star Sectors in Shenglong Astral. That made for over four million galaxies. After some calculations, the Milky Way was at least a million light-years away from the closest galaxy. Hm, if you calculated like that…

Alright, Hong Dali finally understood what astronomical figures meant—these were truly astronomical figures!

Hence, Hong Dali was pretty satisfied now—the most important thing was that he had plenty of ideas to execute. He had the money and the planets now, the only thing he needed was time to go and play…

“Dali, is there anything else you want?” Old Madam Hua Yueling was happy just to see Hong Dali’s eyes light up. “If you want anything, you just have to say it. These bastards won’t dare to disagree.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We will definitely agree. We will definitely agree.” Salas nodded eagerly. He understood completely now. This Hong Dali was the little emperor. They only had a chance to survive if they appeased him!

“So-so.” Hong Dali pouted. “I’m not really interested in anything else. That’ll be all.” There was something he did not say—how could he squander if he had everything?

“Since my sweetheart has said that,” Hong Xingyu stared at the High Nobles and said coldly, “this matter is over. If anyone thinks otherwise, I’ll kill their entire family! Get lost!”

Hong Xingyu did not spare the High Nobles any face.

Actually, that made sense. As a member of the Shenglong Royal Family, a mere High Noble of a Star Sector was not enough to warrant any face. Even if the High Nobles probably had support from higher-ups—still, as the royal of the royal family, why did the Hong Family have to worry about anyone else?

Obviously, the High Nobles understood what Hong Xingyu meant. They did not have any right to talk back to him. There was already a huge gap between the High Nobles and the Royal Family, let alone the royals of the royal family?

The High Nobles scrambled and disappeared instantly.

A single word could have gotten them killed when together with these two elders. Hence, escaping was the best tactic now.

Once the High Nobles all left, Hong Xingyu finally smiled gently at Hong Dali. He smiled and said, “Sweetheart, are you satisfied with how your great-grandfather settled this? If you’re not, we can go to their headquarters right now and kill everyone there. The most important thing is that you must be happy.” It was as if destroying the High Nobles’ headquarters was just a child’s play to him.

Everyone felt chills down their spines.

Lan Ruoxi smiled and looked at Hong Weiguo. She said quietly, “Looks like it’s not just us who dote on our little prodigal. His great-grandmother and great-grandfather love him even more, hehe. Now I can finally relax no matter where he goes. Who will dare to bully him if he’s protected by such impressive great-grandparents?”

Hong Weiguo nodded fiercely. “Yep. This kid was born lucky. We can’t compete against that, haha. Alright, once we reach Shenglong Star, we have to work hard. Dali likes to squander, so we as parents can only work hard to earn money.”

“Yes, yes, yes. That’s right, hehe.” Lan Ruoxi smiled. “As long as Dali is happy, it doesn’t matter if things are a little more difficult for us.”

Hua Yueling secretly listened to everything they said and nodded in satisfaction.

With her few centuries worth of experience, she could tell from every single movement and glance whether they were sincere or just putting on a show. It was impossible for them to fake their reactions now.

“Ah, that’s fine.” Hong Dali sniffled and smiled. “It’s enough for them to learn their lesson. There’s no need to kill too many people, hehe.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to my sweetheart.” Hong Xingyu smiled and patted Hong Dali on the head. “Alright, then. Dali, bring your people, along with Weiguo and Ruoxi. Let’s pack up and leave now.” Hong Xingyu looked at the Tower of Life in the distance and nodded. “Once we go back, I’ll spread the word about this Tower of Life here. We need to settle this as soon as possible, in case someone unaware ends up destroying it.”

He was right. He was still a little scared when he thought that the New Earth was about destroyed by the High Nobles.

This was indeed a priceless treasure. It could be counted as the best treasure in the entire Star Sector. If it was demolished, it would be an immeasurable crime.

“I have to squander; otherwise, won’t it be a waste of my parent’s talent at earning money?” Hong Dali answers a reporter’s question matter-of-factly.

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System’s interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, “I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I’ll have to work harder!”

“I want to splurge! I want to squander!”
