Chapter 273: Chapter 273

The principal jumped up incredulously, staring at the pictures and videos Qian Qi sent through the Light Brain.

[Afraid of Balding in Middle Age]: Are you sure this isn’t photoshopped?

Hearing something is one thing, but seeing it is totally different. In the video, the B-level magical beasts of various species emanated a formidable aura; any one of them alone could flatten everything within a hundred miles.

Yet, at this moment, they were all sitting obediently in place, looking as if they were just tourists in this world, uninterested in fighting with humans.

How on earth did she manage that?!

[I am your uncle]: You think I stayed up all night in the dangerous Sealed City just to Photoshop for you? Are you stupid, or am I?

[Afraid of Balding in Middle Age]: I’m the stupid one.

[Afraid of Balding in Middle Age]: 20 billion should be secure. I’ll contact the Seven Great Families and the Beast Taming Association immediately.

[I am your uncle]: Why only 20 billion? I quote the training for B-level Beastmasters at the price of 80 billion and you want to pocket the rest?

[Afraid of Balding in Middle Age]: I can’t just open my mouth and ask like that! They need to see results first, no one gives away 80 billion out of nowhere.

[I am your uncle]: [Voice Message]

"Why the sudden voice message?" the principal muttered, opening the voice message from Qian Qi.

Then Qian Qi’s voice rang out sarcastically from the Light Brain: "No way, no way, didn’t you draw me a pie saying it would be huge, round, fragrant, and incredible earlier? Surely when facing the Seven Great Families, you won’t be unable to draw a pie, right? Surely there aren’t people who tailor their demands based on who they’re talking to?"

She’s so infuriating!!!

He wished he could promise the Seven Great Families the moon, but the problem was they were not as easygoing as himself, and he wasn’t as audacious and thick-skinned as Qian Qi!

[I am your uncle]: Forget it, I’m just too nice. How about this: secretly call me via voice chat when the time comes, and I’ll teach you how to sell the dream!

Qian Qi sent a photo to the principal, showing her with a fake smile, one hand spread helplessly, the other giving the middle finger.

[I am your uncle]: ʅ(∩_∩)凸

Principal Zheng returned the favor with a photo of him giving the middle finger.

[Afraid of Balding in Middle Age]: If you really can help me negotiate 100 billion with just talk, I’ll take your surname [middlefinger.jpg].

[I am your uncle]: Thanks for the invite, just got off the plane, don’t need grandkids as old as you.

How dare you skip straight to grandchildren, huh, skipping a whole generation?

Connecting the voice call with Qian Qi, the principal activated the Light Brain’s anti-peep mode, retrieved an ear-sized in-ear headphone from the side of the Light Brain, and inserted it into his ear. He adjusted his hair to cover the earpiece.

After slightly tidying his suit, the principal stepped away from the office desk and entered the adjoining meeting room.

Sitting at the central chair, he composed himself and activated the Light Brain projector on the table, sending a video projection request to the family heads and heirs of the Seven Great Families.

Except for the Su Family, the heads and heirs of the other six families would never all enter a non-networked instance, so as to prevent the situation where all parties need to make a decision together and one family is missing.

After all, what if they missed out on a vote and it caused a loss to the family?

Twenty minutes later, the proxy images for the representatives from the Seven Great Families appeared above the meeting room seats.

The Su Family was represented by their head, Su Xingchen, while for the Sikong family it was Sikong Wang, for the Nangong Family it was Nangong Yan, for the Gong Family it was the heir Gong Qiang. The Tang Family, He Family, and Ye Family were represented respectively by family heads Tang Weicheng, He Yao Bai, and Ye Shi Yao.

"Principal Zheng, suddenly contacting the Seven Great Families, what is this about?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovelfire.net

From the first position on the left of the principal, Su Xingchen blandly glanced over the other positions. Upon seeing everyone present from the Seven Great Families, he asked calmly.

"I gathered everyone here today for one matter," the principal cleared his throat lightly, "I am preparing to accept some B-level Magical Beasts, but currently lack sufficient funds..."

"B-level Magical Beasts?" Gong Qiang stopped polishing his hammer and looked at the principal in confusion, "I thought B-level Magical Beasts were supposed to be confined to the Magic Beast Base? Does Awakener University want to be trampled by magic beasts?"

Su Xingchen, with his hands clasped and head slightly bowed in thought, doubted the principal would be foolish enough to send dangerous B-level Magical Beasts into the school. So... "Where are these B-level Magical Beasts you’re referring to from?"

The principal hesitated for a moment, just about to reveal his prepared speech, when Qian Qi’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Old Qian, don’t answer yet, just slam the table hard with both hands! Show some aggression, put on an impatient expression!"

Why slap the table? And who are you calling Old Qian! I haven’t changed my surname yet!

After hesitating for a moment, the principal decided to listen to Qian Qi. When it comes to money matters, Qian Qi is more experienced.

Consequently, the principal wore an exceedingly impatient expression, raised his hands and slammed them heavily on the table in front of the family heads and heirs of the Seven Great Families!

Given that the principal was a B-level Awakener, having also boosted a number of strength buffs, this strike on the table shocked several slightly distracted family heads and heirs.

Gong Qiang even dropped his hammer on the floor, swallowing slightly, "Principal, what are you doing?"

Most of these young heirs graduated from Principal Zheng’s stewardship, retaining some fear of their mentor.

Qian Qi’s voice chimed in, "Why so much pointless talk! I’m here to demand money today! 1 billion from each family!

The big talk you promised to teach me, is this it?

This isn’t describing a big talk, but more like a professional beggar on the street with arms and legs, aggressively demanding money from random passersby, and if not given, landing a few kicks on them!

"Quickly! Or you’ll lose your momentum!" Qian Qi urged!

Principal Zheng was on the brink of a cardiac arrest, took a quick look at Su Xingchen’s unreadable expression, quietly apologized in his heart, yet his face showed increasing impatience, cursing, "Why so much pointless talk! I’m here to demand money today! 1 billion from each family!!!"

The Six Great Families: ???

Why so fierce all of a sudden?

The family heads and heirs were all dumbfounded. Normally, Principal Zheng, while rigorously managing Awakener University, would ask for funds with demeanor and composure. So the currently demanding and impatient principal left them utterly puzzled and bewildered...

What kind of extraordinary leverage did he gain to act so wildly in front of them?
