Chapter 965 Disrespecting the Roaring Tigers

"Not a minute in and we are already going into a fight?" Jin shook his head in disbelief, and the Roaring Tiger Clan yelled back with even more ferocity mistaking Jin's statement as an attempt to taunt them.

"No use staying here. Let's leave these savages since they seem to desperately want that participation gift. Just leave let them be." Jin ordered as he scanned around to check for an exit.

"We shall protect you." Nubwort, who had been large as an Orc already, had an equally huge build with his cosmetic inscription on, he started to lead the group to the side.

"Who says you are free to leave after disrespecting us?" One of the Roaring Tiger Clan veteran mates shouted in response to their cowardly behaviour.

"Yeah! If you wish to leave peacefully, all of you kowtow to our master right now, and leave your beauty here if you want to leave without any bruises!" Another clan veteran shouted. 

One of them cleared his throat, which silenced the others. It was clear that he had enough clout to hold these tigers on the leash: "Why don't we make a compromise? We let ten of our best fight against your master, and if he survives the onslaught, we will let you all go as if nothing happened?"

"I do not have time for these stupid games. Everyone, let's go, we have better things to do. Tell your master we said hi." Jin scoffed at the suggestion as he told Nubwort to continue ignoring them. And yet, since the prey could not be provoked, the Roaring Tigers cultivators immediately stood in their way.

"Aren't you lot too old to use such highschool level bully tactics?" Jin questioned rhetorically before he told the rest to go back to the spot they were at even though it was a dead-end with a long wall. Unsurprisingly, the Roaring Tigers Cultivators had already stood at the top of the wall blocking their advance.

"Other minor clans! Look at this coward! Not only did he arrogantly take our place, but he also does not even apologise for his offence. And yet, he tried to run away! Should we punish them for their insolence?" Hao Pai asked theatrically, and Jin sighed once again. 

Just as he was about to request the System to create a smokescreen so everyone could be teleported and vanish from this ridiculous Clan Meet, he received a phone call from a blocked phone number.

"The call stemmed from the Tiger Clan Head personal phone." The System notified him as it had traced down the origin in less than a few rings. Jin sighed and picked the phone up.

"I know what you are capable of. While I dislike people being late, I did request for your presence, unlike that of this minor trash. Feel free to teach them a lesson they will never forget, and I shall immediately send you a thousand Yuan per head." Yuan Ba said from the other line.

"You already cutting your losses? From what I heard, you organise some tournament for your annual Clan Meet. If I put all of them down, there will be no one to fight with. No fighters, means no tournament, saving yourself quite a bit of money. I'm not interested."

"But it's better than leaving empty-handed right?"

"Then handle them yourselves. I see no reason to waste our strength for something I should have no connection to. If you think you can still put us under your thumb, think again. I have come here because Yang Ling personally came and asked to meet you. While I am not ashamed to admit that I've planned to stay for the money, it does not mean I cannot earn such a sum by myself. It will just take me a little longer than a day. That's all. Since you are not interested to keep me here, giving me the stick and a shitty carrot as bait, I rather not play your game." Jin said not caring for things like the common courtesy of calling him Tiger Lord. He was about to end the phone call when the Tiger Clan Head stopped him.

"Wait."

"What?"

"The current offer still stands. Let me extend it, however. If you eliminate each and every one of them, I will pay you one million Yuan extra on top of the current Meet rewards ."

"... fine, but those clans' resurrection costs won't be cheap." Jin hesitated to agree.

"That is their own matter to resolve. They brought only their strongest members to the Clan Meet. They must have prepared to resurrect already. Otherwise, they would lose their standings in this Royal Zodiac Family or risk getting kicked out."

"In short, you want to pay me and my guys as a cleaner and remove them so that you are able to get rid of undesirables that had been leeching of you?"

"Take what you will. For a cleaning job, I feel that the compensation is more than adequate." Yuan Ba told him as he heard a knock at the door and cut short the conversation. 

"Dad, are you seriously not going to intervene in this current misunderstanding?" Yang Ling shouted so loud that Jin was able to hear through the phone.

"Don't worry about it. It will resolve by itself. Let me settle some work in the meantime." Yuan Ba replied without blocking the speaker, surely wanting for Jin to hear his daughter's worry for him.

"So no cops or other nasty surprises who might stop us?" Jin continued his conversation, but all he heard was a smirk, and the other end dropped the call.

"Well, I assume that's the case. So, it's a free for all." Jin announced as he turned off his phone and gave his minions a quick summary over the System channel.

"1,000 Yuan per head will be tallied up and will be converted into System points with each one of you gaining their fair share."

"Damn. Then I should have brought more people here." Ayse cursed as her electrical senses were tingling with excitement.

"I can not believe I'm part of this entourage," Moloch complained as he finally revealed himself from the bag and his man puppet placed him on its head. (he did look like a walking plushie)

"And here I thought this would be just a simple guard mission." Sandy yawned as she stepped forward.

"Just when I thought I can enjoy a day of peace in your world." Derek, who rarely goes out, actually came out to see to if this world's Chinese New Year was the same as his. (He was naive to think as such.)

"At the very least, you can move those bones of yours a little." Dread Reaver said as he summoned a sword out while his two other goblin brothers were doing small talk.

"Oh ho, brother. You think they would prove much of a challenge? I am betting the Pandawans could actually beat these elites." Wyrstriker said.

"The only way to know is to hold back. But I do not feel like holding back when System points are at stake. You know, I am eyeing for that massage chair. Maybe I should get it for my dad." Flame Ripper said.

"More System points! Ke Mi enjoys this very much. I can hear my heart beating!" A small girl revealed while sitting on the shoulder of a rather stout large build man with sunglasses. (She too has her set of sunglasses and adjusted with some coolness.) His skin was undoubtedly hard and dry like bark despite the cosmetic inscription.

"Oh, I am so pumped up that I can finally use this control form on my minor treant. I wonder how much I can fight with it." Shu shared his thoughts through the tree puppet he was using.

With a myriad of cosmetic builds the minions took upon, their magical and strength aura still burst out without holding back and it shocked the Roaring Tigers.

Jin slowly turned his head towards the leader of the Roaring Tigers, and with a slight impersonation of Kraft, his face darkened and turned dead serious. 

There was no bloodlust, but the intent of murder was malicious enough to make Hao Pai take a step back involuntarily.

"You claim I've disrespected you? I've given you face more than once by letting you walk away. You can only blame yourself for pissing off the wrong person." Jin declared as he raised his chin up.

"Go."
