Novel Full 34 Daughter Con
“200,000 spirit stones no less and the right to use Bing Tong’s name.” Jiang Ming made sure his voice was loud enough for everyone in the guest room to hear it.
Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment before gnashing his teeth in anger.
“What do you mean by the right to use Bing Tong’s name?” Zhao Tong shouted as the veins in his arm started to show fiercely.
It was clear that he was enraged by the audacity of Jiang Ming in their imperial house.
He could ignore his disrespect to him but not his daughter. His daughter was his bottom line and no one can ever cross it without living.
“Hold your horses, old man. I know you’re a daughter con but please, you’re an emperor for heaven’s sake.” Jiang Ming shook his head as he sighed.
“Pfft,” Bing Tong couldn’t help herself as she started giggling when she realized her father was getting dissed for the first time and it wasn’t by her.
Zhao Tong was in disbelief when he saw his daughter laughing at an outsider’s dissing toward him..
‘W-Why is my daughter siding with a brat?’ Zhao Tong exclaimed inwardly as he sat back down, looking at Bing Tong in a pitiful expression.
“Father, stop acting like a child and wait for Jiang Ming to finish. If Jiang Ming really had some nefarious intent toward me then I would have felt it a long time ago. You should know about your daughter’s ability.” Bing Tong reprimanded her father, Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tong nodded his head.
“You’re right, my daughter but I just can’t control my emotions well when it’s related to you. I-I already lost your mother and I cannot live if you leave me as well.” Zhao Tong said in sadness as he recalled his deceased wife.
Bing Tong reached her hand and placed it on Zhao Tong, “Rest assured father, I won’t leave you alone.”
And she continued, “After all, Jiang Ming here… he said that he has a cure for my illness.”
Bing Tong’s sudden revelation shocked Zhao Tong as he held a gawking expression.
Bing Tong had kept this as a secret behind Zhao Tong as she wasn’t sure if Jiang Ming really had a method or not.
However, seeing Jiang Ming’s arrogant attitude in front of her father, Bing Tong knew Jiang Ming truly knew the method otherwise, he was simply seeking death for messing with her.
“I-Is it true?” Zhao Tong asked nervously, his body could be seen trembling and shaking in agitation.
Bing Tong nodded her head.
“It’s true father, I wouldn’t lie to you about this kind of stuff.”
Zhao Tong swallowed a mouthful of saliva into his throat as he turned around to face Jiang Ming.
This time, he held a more gentle and sincere expression. “J-Jiang Ming… if you can really cure my daughter then I promise you anything as long as it’s not about making my daughter sell her body or anything ridiculous regarding her.”
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth slightly as he shouted. “What kind of person do you think I am? Someone who would extort money from the helpless?”
Suddenly, he paused his words as he stood silent for a moment, “Actually, never mind, I am a person who would extort from the helpless.”
Jiang Ming curled his lips upward as he showed a haughty and cheeky expression at Zhao Tong.
He wasn’t the one in a rush but it was Zhao Tong who was in the hurry since her daughter’s life was in danger.
Of course, Jiang Ming would never reveal the fact that he also needed this deal to complete to save his aunt.
‘You’re still 100 years too early to negotiate with me, old man,’ Jiang Ming sneered inwardly as he waited for Zhao Tong’s reply.
Meanwhile, Hong Ling was already panicking from the side as she feared that the emperor would simply resort to violence and have them detained.
‘T-The emperor wouldn’t detain us and force Jiang Ming to do whatever they asked for right?’ Hong Ling said inwardly as she started trembling whenever she thought about this possibility.
Zhao Tong seemed to notice that Hong Ling was nervous the entire time as he decided to target her instead.
‘Hmph, since you are so arrogant then I shall target that female companion of yours.’ Zhao Tong smirked as he glared at Hong Ling.
“Young lady, I heard that you are called Hong Ling right? Do you know how much influence and power I hold in the Northern Continent,” Zhao Tong said as he exuded his emperor aura, showcasing his prestige.
Zhao Tong knew Hong Ling would cower in fear when she saw an emperor asking her directly.
Hong Ling’s reaction was in line with Zhao Tong’s expectation as she nodded her head while trembling in fear.
Right when Zhao Tong tried to continue to pressure Hong Ling, Jiang Ming suddenly snorted.
“Continue your threat and watch me stay my hand clean. Not only would you lose your daughter but you would also lose the Spiritual Master rank technique.” Jiang Ming said as he showcased his dominant presence.
His dominant presence was accumulated in his years of grinding in Cultivation Omega so Zhao Tong could never be able to keep up with his aura.
In fact, Zhao Tong felt like he was looking at a monster when he noticed this predator’s aura as he felt completely exposed in front of him.
‘W-What a terrifying brat?’ Zhao Tong exclaimed as he stopped his pressure on Hong Ling.
“Apologies for my action, Hong Ling. I didn’t mean you any harm,” Zhao Tong then apologized to Hong Ling, shocking her even more to the core.
Never in her life would she expect there’ll be a day where the emperor of the Northern Continent would apologize to her.
Everything felt like a dream to her and that she was still asleep in the alchemist guild.
“I-It’s okay, Emperor Zhao Tong, you don’t have to apologize to me,” Hong Ling quickly said as she didn’t dare to accept his apology.
