IGK – Chapter 122.2 Balance between Career and Family (2/2)
Even Zhang Zhengdao’s jaw dropped. Ten-thousand pounds? Even I would sell myself, a Golden Core no less! You must be crazy!
“Don’t listen to him!” She Tianba cried out, covered with his crimson robe, “How can Wang Ke offer ten thousand pounds for an Innate Stage cultivator? He’s definitely bluffing!”
You must be joking. Who would even bat an eye at my five hundred pounds if you hire them with ten-thousand pounds?
Are you trying to intentionally raise the market price? You’re forcing me to a dead end!
“Someone is accusing me of bluffing. Let me ask you this, do you think that I, Wang Ke, can afford it?” Wang Ke asked while laughing.
Could Wang Ke afford it?
No one would believe him if he hadn’t built up the mood with his speech. But now, no one doubted him. Wang Ke had made more than ten million pounds during his business inauguration day; how could he not afford it?
“You can!” many shouted.
“That’s right! Our conversation can only continue with those who believe in me! Ten-thousand pounds? Everyone! That’s just the beginning!” Wang Ke said with uplifting laughter.
“Really?” The eyes of many reddened due to the rising excitement.
“Ten thousand pounds per person? Prove it by showing us the money first!” She Tianba cried out again while mixed in the crowd.
“Who? Who is the one being persistently sarcastic? I bring such a good deal to benefit everyone; why are you always trying to mislead the audience?” Wang Ke stared into the crowd.
Zhang Zhengdao stood near him with an awkward look. Aren’t you the one misleading them? You’re angry because someone’s not going with the flow?

“It’s him!” someone shouted.
“Waahh!”
Someone flipped back She Tianba’s hood.
“Ahh, it’s She Tianba?”
“She Tianba, you haven’t paid me back yet! Why the hell are you here!”
“Yeah, She Tianba! How could you do this?”
“It’s all your fault! We would have already been making big money with Wang Ke if you hadn’t captured his missus!”
“She Tianba, you weren’t even invited, so why are you here making trouble!”
……………………
………………..
……
The crowd’s saliva instantly flooded over She Tianba.
“Are all of you fools? How can you believe Wang Ke’s words? Ten thousand pounds of spirit stones for every Innate Stage cultivator? How can that be possible?” She Tianba roared.
He unleashed his Golden Core aura and pushed the crowd back.
“What do you think you are doing? How dare you stir trouble here? Are you sick of living?” Zhang Zhengdao walked over and used his momentum to press down She Tianba’s shoulder.
Even if the former couldn’t stand up against Zhang Shenxu and his sister, She Tianba was a piece of cake for him. Wang Ke is teaching me how to make money. How dare you interrupt!
She Tianba was immediately suppressed; he was about to call for help due to shock and anger.
“Forget it, Zhang Zhengdao, let him be. She Tianba is just jealous!” Wang Ke said.
Wang Ke didn’t have a morsel of pity for She Tianba, but he was She Qingqing’s grand-nephew nevertheless. Let She Qingqing deal with him; I can even tell her that I released her grand-nephew to make it easier to get some favor from her later!

“Clan Lord Wang is so generous!” The onlookers were amazed.
“Clan Lord Wang is in a whole different class now. Why would he fuss over She Tianba?” another person added.
“Humph!”
Zhang Zhengdao released She Tianba.
“Wang Ke! You’re trying to be my rival, huh?” She Tianba said in anger, “You’re deceiving everyone with that ten-thousand pounds offer. Come, why don’t you show us? Take it out!”
The latter couldn’t hold back his rage as he roared at Wang Ke. Still—although everyone still disliked him—no one was badmouthing him anymore.
Yeah, show us the money, the ten-thousand pounds, and we will risk our lives for you. Take them out!
Wang Ke looked at She Tianba and smiled, “Be patient! When I do business, I like to make myself clear first! I don’t like to hide things! Ten thousand pounds of spirit stones is nothing! Even if you get it, you still need to survive to spend it! I’m here to help everyone make money, not to lose their lives over money! What is the use of getting all that money if you die?”
“Uhh?” Many people looked at Wang Ke, feeling lost.
Wang Ke continued, “Everyone. I’m sure living in the cultivation towns has been full of hardships, but why are some clans so rich and with good foundations while others live in poverty? Have you ever thought about how clans make their first pot of gold?”
All the cultivators frowned, feeling perplexed.
“Clan Lord Chen, yours is a major clan in the Zhu Cultivation Town. Can you tell us how your ancestors established your clan?” Wang Ke asked with a smile.
“Me?” A clan lord frowned.
“The Chen Clan is highly successful nowadays, not just because of the good management passed down through each clan lord. In fact, the start of the clan was actually in a mortal zone’s war, right?” Wang Ke asked.
Clan Lord Chen was silent.
Wang Ke answered his own question, “When replacing the existing empire in the mortal zone, many military clans rise to fight and wrest control for their benefit. Hired Innate Stage cultivators participate in the war, and those who follow the wrong military clan will die. The clan who claims the ultimate victory becomes the greatest winner, and their clan lord becomes the emperor. The Innate Stage cultivators who followed him into wars will also rake in countless wealth; that is, because for every Innate Stage enemy they kill, their storage bags would be taken as spoils. The Chen Clan’s ancestors followed the right military clan and became the ultimate winner, gaining massive wealth! I’m sure it’s more than ten thousand pounds of spirit stones, am I right?”
“That happened more than a hundred years ago!” Clan Lord Chen said.
“That’s all right,” Wang Ke said, “I’m just stating facts. Although wars in the mortal zone are dangerous, they can also be highly profitable! As long as you become the overall winner, you will be showered with endless wealth! Everyone, She Tianba offers five hundred pounds. That’s nothing! If you become the final winner, ten thousand pounds would be peanuts! You will be like the Chen Clan’s ancestors: returning from the war to build an entire clan! How can you overcome your lives’ worries? The only way is to strike it rich! Rich overnight!”
Many started breathing heavily because Wang Ke spoke the truth; everyone knew this!
How can we overcome our lives’ worries? The only way is to strike it rich! We only want to become rich overnight!
“Wang Ke, you’re just telling them lies! Humph, who knows for sure they are following the right military clan that will become the greatest winner? You said it yourself just now. Those who followed the wrong military clan died! All of them died! Following your military clan will ensure they will have the last laugh? There’s no way you can guarantee it!” She Tianba said in disdain.
His words calmed the crowd. Right, although Wang Ke sounds truly convincing, what if we lose by following you? Can anyone ensure victory?
Wars in the mortal zone involve the competition of immortal sects in the back-end; no one can be sure of anything!
“Did I ever promise victory? Those whom I recruit may die too!” Wang Ke said.
“Ah?” Everyone was stunned.
His words caught She Tianba off guard. He didn’t expect Wang Ke to admit to it so readily.
“But, my offer to those I recruit is an ‘Accidental Death Insurance’ plan!” Wang Ke explained.
“What? What do you mean? You expect Innate Stage cultivators to risk their lives for you without paying them a single cent?” She Tianba could not make sense of it all.
Even Zhang Zhengdao was shocked. Wang Ke, didn’t you say you’re offering a hundred pounds? You’ve changed your mind? You’re so petty that you won’t pay a single cent? And you’re just going to hand them a piece of paper as payment? What a charlatan!

Wang Ke laughed and explained, “The ‘Accidental Death Insurance’ plan that the immortal sect disciples bought… I’m sure you can’t afford it since it’s five thousand pounds per plan! But, we are all from the same town; I made special arrangements with the people of my company and fought for a one-tenth plan for you guys! You can claim up to ten thousand pounds for only five hundred pounds! The premium to claim ratio is still one to twenty! Everyone, what do you think? Does this count as ten-thousand pounds?”
Everyone quieted down.
Wang Ke continued, “If you die in battle, would someone receive consolation money? Anyone? Impossible! And how much can you really earn just from getting hired? Is it enough to leave your family settled up? That is why everything She Tianba has told you is useless. Five hundred pounds is nothing! He wants to buy your life with just five hundred pounds. Are your lives worth so little?
“I’m different! Your family can get ten thousand pounds of spirit stones if you die! And a big clan shall rise! If you survive, you will bring back more than ten thousand pounds! A super clan will rise to power! So, whether you live or die! You and your family can gain at least ten thousand pounds of spirit stones! Career and family balance! This is the business I want to do with you! This is a win-win situation!”
Zhang Zhengdao’s mouth was agape. Damn, you are too good at bluffing! Risking lives for you without money? Even I feel convinced!
