308: Chapter 308: More Money Required!
The audience in the live stream twitched their mouths slightly upon seeing this scene.
Good heavens!
It really has to be Lin Heng!
This guy...
He's practically buried himself in the pursuit of money!
For a moment, everyone didn't know how to evaluate Lin Heng.
Originally, in everyone's eyes, he was a heroic figure who unified Africa, someone who would definitely be recorded in history.
However...
Just because of this one hundred million, he was directly marked with a heavy stroke in history.
"Because he coveted one hundred million from Pretty Country, he directly unified Africa..."
Of course, that was all for later.
On the field.
Just as the two envoys from Pretty Country told Lin Heng to name any condition, Lin Heng smiled and showed no mercy!
Soon, Lin Heng held up two fingers in front of everyone.
"Two hundred million?"
Their eyelids jumped upon hearing this.
Good heavens...
Lin Heng was truly making an exorbitant demand!
Based on their understanding of Lin Heng, what he said was definitely not Zimbabwean currency!
Nor was it Renminbi.
It had to be US dollars!
For a moment, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Thinking about the money on their warship, the two of them licked their dry lips, feeling a sudden dryness in their mouths.
They quickly spoke up.
"This... Mr. Lin Heng, two hundred million is indeed a relatively reasonable figure, but you also know that we are currently on a warship, and we don't have much cash on hand. The cash we brought this time for you was also the result of careful consideration..."
After debating for so long, it turned out to be because they didn't have the money...
The envoys from Pretty Country were quite embarrassed.
They didn't know why, despite being the world's number one power, they felt so constrained here.
Even though the other party only asked for two hundred million.
The audience in the live stream couldn't help but scoff.
"Heh heh... Who would have thought that Pretty Country would ever be unable to pay? I finally understand now; those lofty images of foreign countries are just them puffing themselves up when they're short on substance."
"Exactly, exactly. If they sold just one of their warships, the amount wouldn't be less than ten billion. I didn't expect them to be this poor..."
"Hahaha, today I've seen it; even the rich people in Pretty Country sometimes can't afford two hundred million?"
"..."
The audience in the live stream teased them endlessly.
At this moment...
Lin Heng suddenly interrupted them.
"You... What did you just say?"
He slowly narrowed his eyes, hands clasped behind his back, but his voice turned grim.
Hiss...!
Just hearing that voice made people feel like the surrounding temperature had dropped several tens of degrees in an instant!
No one would have expected that in Africa, one would feel cold enough to need a padded jacket!
Swish, swish, swish!
As soon as Lin Heng's voice turned cold, almost all the surrounding guards immediately raised their guns and aimed them at the people from Pretty Country.
Good heavens!
Who could have imagined things developing like this?
The envoys from Pretty Country were already completely terrified.
They had long heard that these Warlords in Africa were decisive and killed without batting an eye!
"We, we just meant that this money, perhaps it will take some time. After all, we don't have much money within our military, and we might need some time to arrange things."
"We don't know if Mr. Lin Heng is willing to wait for this time?"
"You also know that two hundred million is a huge sum, even for us, it requires a certain amount of time to arrange..."
Facing such immense pressure, one of the envoys from Pretty Country wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly stammered out the words.
Soon, Lin Heng laughed.
"Hahahaha... Look at you all. You clearly haven't understood what I meant just now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue slightly eased.
The envoys from Pretty Country secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Fortunately, Lin Heng could still be reasoned with through money.
This way, things might be easier for them.
However, it was only one or two hundred million. For them, perhaps one or two hundred million was definitely an astronomical figure, but for others, or other countries, one or two hundred million was just pocket change.
Especially for their Pretty Country!
There were plenty of people in the country willing to help with this matter.
They smiled sheepishly and bowed subserviently to Lin Heng.
Now, for some reason, they had already completely succumbed to Lin Heng's few words.
And at this time...
Just as the faces of the people from Pretty Country relaxed slightly.
Only General Max remained slightly silent.
His pair of dim, yellowish eyes looked at Lin Heng, then at the envoys from Pretty Country who had arrived, finding it hard to describe the bitterness in his heart.
Foolish...
He sighed deeply.
However, his voice naturally couldn't reach the ears of the others.
And just as the others were preparing to continue discussing the next steps, they saw the smile on Lin Heng's face gradually become stiff.
"Lin, Mr. Lin Heng?"
Someone noticed this first and spoke hesitantly.
This sound reminded the others.
They turned their heads and found that Lin Heng had somehow changed his expression.
Now, all they felt from him was faint disdain.
"Heh heh..."
"So, you think the lives of these one thousand people are only worth two hundred million?"
Lin Heng did not answer; he just spoke lightly.
Hiss...!
As soon as these words came out, for some unknown reason, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
And then, they gradually realized something.
Good heavens!
Two hundred million wasn't enough; he actually wanted more?
This guy... he was probably far beyond just making an exorbitant demand now!
The two envoys from Pretty Country had been smiling broadly just a moment ago, but now... they fell into complete silence.
One of them swallowed and immediately stepped forward, but was quickly pulled back by a slightly older person next to him.
The other person shook his head.
Then he quickly stepped out.
After forcing a stiff smile onto his face, the elderly envoy from Pretty Country wore a calm expression.
"Heh heh, Mr. Lin Heng, you know the strength of our Pretty Country. I think you should trust us. When has our Pretty Country ever owed anyone money?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream instantly erupted.
"Heh heh, your Pretty Country has indeed never owed anyone money, but you've always just robbed them directly!"
However, the envoys from Pretty Country couldn't hear any of this.
He glanced at Lin Heng's eyes and continued:
"Mr. Lin Heng, name a number."
