Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059
Fu Tianbao and the others also opposed simultaneously. Although the martial arts contest was over, this base would become a training ground for forces under the Ming Group faction. There was no reason to give it to the Dark Group so easily.
"Do we have the right to demand this base?"
Tang Ming looked uncertainly at Su Tianyu and the others.
"Ahem, we actually don’t have the right to demand it directly, after all, the Ming Group and Dark Group are not part of the same system."
Zhou Xiong quickly explained.
"Hehe, this base is worth a billion. If you think you can get it so easily, you’re dreaming."
Fu Tianyou looked at Tang Ming with a sneer, mocking him.
Tang Ming touched his chin and suddenly asked, "Deputy Director, how many people from your Ming Group were poisoned in the Biochemical Laboratory?"
"You still dare to ask this question? Ming Group has twenty biochemical researchers lying in the hospital, all because of your good deeds."
Upon hearing this, Fu Tianyou immediately became furious.
If it were just ordinary members poisoned, it could be overlooked, but now most of those hospitalized are research staff from the Biological Department.
Each one is invaluable, and if they can’t be cured, the loss would be much greater than losing the Biochemical Laboratory.
"So many people! Then why not save them? I see Fu Renjie has recovered, why are the others still lying in the hospital?"
Tang Ming asked curiously.
"Hmph, Fu Renjie could recover because I spent a fortune hiring experts from the Medicine Sect and used a lot of Spiritual Medicine to cure him."
Fu Tianyou snorted coldly, staring venomously at Tang Ming. His painstakingly saved son was now crippled again, and it was uncertain if the Medicine Sect could save him again.
"A fortune, what kind of fortune?"
Tang Ming was puzzled:
"If one can be saved, why not treat the others together?"
"I spent a hundred million to cure Fu Renjie, and detoxification requires a large amount of rare medicinal materials, which are now impossible to buy even with money. Do you think I would just watch my subordinates remain poisoned and do nothing?"
Fu Tianyou responded angrily.
"So, you still want to save them?"
Tang Ming’s lips curved slightly up as he asked inquisitively.
"What... what will it take for you to hand over the antidote?"
Fu Tianyou frowned, knowing that Tang Ming’s words meant he wanted to negotiate conditions.
"I just want this base."
Tang Ming yawned and said matter-of-factly:
"Since you said it’s worth a billion, if you want me to save people, I’ll charge one hundred million per person, totaling two billion. Subtract the value of this base, and you’ll still have to pay me a billion. But I’ll definitely be cheaper than the Medicine Sect, giving you a twenty percent discount, so pay eight hundred million."
"Bastard, are you robbing us?"
Hearing this, Fu Tianyou immediately became furious.
"Hehe, your people want to kill me. If I’m not ruthless to you, do you really think I’m easy to bully?"
Tang Ming sneered, speaking impatiently:
"Enough nonsense, just one word, do you agree or not?"
Fu Tianyou was infuriated and then looked toward Fu Tianbao and the others. Losing a base and spending eight hundred million was not a decision he dared to make lightly.
Fu Tianbao and the others glanced at each other, then gathered together to discuss.
"Tang Xin, you’re too ruthless, not only do you want their base, but you also want to charge an additional eight hundred million.
Awesome, truly awesome."
Lin Canghai looked at Tang Ming with admiration.
Long Ao and Wu Xiaoyu were also full of admiration, especially Wu Xiaoyu, who secretly decided never to offend Tang Ming in the future.
Otherwise, with this guy’s scamming tactics, who knows what would happen.
A few minutes later, Fu Tianyou looked up at Tang Ming and said coldly:
"I’ve decided, this base can be given to you, but I can’t pay you eight hundred million.
So you only need to treat ten poisoned people as the equivalent of this base’s value."
"Damn, you’re ruthless, leaving the others’ lives at risk?"
Tang Ming looked at Fu Tianyou with disdain, someone who casually sacrifices his subordinates’ lives, what a scumbag.
"Stop this nonsense, the condition is as is, do you agree or not?"
Fu Tianyou said impatiently:
"I might as well not save anyone, but getting the Ming Group to give up the base is impossible."
Fu Tianyou pondered internally, the twenty poisoned people weren’t all top talents, choosing the less harmful option was better.
As long as the most top-tier people among them were saved, the rest...
"Alright, alright, I can’t be bothered with you."
Tang Ming pouted and turned to Zhou Xiong:
"Director Zhou, arrange for the Dark Group to take over this base now."
"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."
Zhou Xiong nodded excitedly and left the meeting room to make arrangements for the takeover.
"Tang Xin, when exactly will you go to the hospital to save people?"
Fu Tianyou frowned, staring tightly at Tang Ming.
"I’ll just give you a prescription, no need for me to go personally."
Tang Ming smiled, picked up pen and paper, and began writing a prescription.
Tang Ming wrote very slowly, only finishing after Zhou Xiong returned.
"Done, make the medicine according to this prescription and give it to those poisoned. They’ll recover."
Tang Ming tossed the prescription to Fu Tianyou, playfully reminding him:
"I forgot to mention, it’s the same poison in all of them, so this prescription is universal, which means you don’t need to spend so much money."
Upon hearing this, Fu Tianyou nearly choked in anger, having been played again:
"How dare you mess with me. It means this prescription is worth only a hundred million, but the base is worth ten billion.
I can’t just give it to you; pay me another nine billion."
"Oh my, still trying to get money from me, are you sure?"
Hearing this, Tang Ming laughed, squinting his eyes:
"First, it was you who willingly traded the base with me, I didn’t force you;
Second, the Dark Group has now taken over this base. If you want it back, you’ll have to fight us;
Third, if you dare renege, I’ll spread poison throughout this base right now. Let’s see how many of your people survive."
Upon hearing that Tang Ming would spread poison, Fu Tianyou was intimidated!
The poison in the Biochemical Laboratory was terrifying, he had already witnessed its power. If he continues to fight to the death with Tang Ming, the Ming Group would likely suffer severe casualties again.
With a grim face, Fu Tianbao got up, gesturing for the members of the Ming Group faction to leave. Everyone was afraid Tang Ming would poison them; it was no joking matter.
"Group Leader Tang, it’s really thanks to you this time, you truly are our lucky star."
After the Ming Group people left, Su Tianyu and the others immediately surrounded Tang Ming, expressing their gratitude profusely.
Tang Ming then gathered his belongings with everyone’s admiration and headed to the pre-booked hotel for a celebration banquet.
During the entire banquet, Tang Ming, as the hero of the hour, received thanks and flattery from all the members of the Dark Group, while Long Ao and others felt no jealousy at all, being genuinely grateful to Tang Ming.
It’s been fifteen years, the Dark Group had been suppressed by the Ming Group for fifteen years. This time, thanks to Tang Ming, they had a chance to turn the tables. How could they not be deeply grateful to Tang Ming?
