Gods: Start with Goblins
Chapter 766 Desire
He knew what the dragon blood meant to their Lei family, and he also understood how important the dragon blood in Luodan's hands was to them.
Luo Dan was silent for a while after hearing Lei Zhen's words. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, thinking whether he should sell the dragon blood to the Lei family. He knew that the value of the dragon blood far exceeded the price they offered, but he also understood that sometimes, favors and relationships are more important than money.
At this moment, an idea flashed through Luo Dan's mind. He looked at Lei Zhen, then at the housekeeper and thugs behind him, and made up his mind. He smiled and said, "Master Lei, I understand your desire for dragon blood, and I also understand the importance of this dragon blood to your Lei family. However, the dragon blood is already in my hands, and I am its owner. If I really want to sell it, it is not just for money."
Luo Dan saw that they did not rob openly, but chose to resolve the issue through negotiation, and his expression became better. He raised his chin slightly, at least willing to talk to them and see what sincerity they could show.
"If these people have evil ideas, I will kill them all." Luo Dan thought to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. But he knew that these people were obviously not reckless people. They chose this method, which meant they had some concerns.
Luo Dan glanced at his storage bag, where the bottle of precious dragon blood lay quietly. He had an unceremonious look on his face, with a playful smile on his lips.
"The same price? Since I used this price to get the dragon blood, that little money is not as valuable to me as the dragon blood. You should know that?" Luo Dan raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of stubbornness and confidence between his eyebrows. He was telling the truth. The meaning of dragon blood to him far exceeded the little money they paid.
As soon as these words came out, the face of the person in front of him froze for a moment. Lei Zhen and the housekeeper looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They knew that Luo Dan was not the kind of person who could be easily persuaded, but they still decided to give it a try.
Then, the man dressed as a butler came out, his steps were steady, his expression was calm, and he did not have any intention of forcing anyone. He just took the lead in revealing his identity and tried to impress Luo Dan in the name of the Lei family.
"Sir, we are from the Lei family. The Lei family also has some reputation on the mainland, and this thing is really important to us. If you are willing to give it up, then it will be considered as the Lei family owing you a favor. In the future, no matter what you need or what troubles you encounter, the Lei family is willing to lend a helping hand, which can play a big role." The butler's words were sincere and powerful. He tried to let Luo Dan see how beneficial it would be for him to establish a good relationship with the Lei family.
Luo Dan was silent for a while after hearing what the housekeeper said. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, wondering whether he should give the dragon blood to the Lei family just for this favor. He knew that the Lei family was indeed a powerful family, and it might not be a bad thing for him to have a good relationship with them.
However, the dragon blood meant a lot to him. He was not the kind of person who would give up easily, and he was not sure how much the favor from the Lei family was worth.
"The favor from the Lei family... humph, that sounds quite tempting." Luo Dan chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "But you also know that dragon blood is very important to me. I'm not the kind of person who can be easily moved. If you want me to give up, you have to show greater sincerity."
The Lei family was a well-known name on the mainland. If ordinary people heard this name, they would have been terrified and would not dare to confront them, let alone bargain. Without saying anything, they would have offered the things with both hands, hoping that the Lei family would show mercy and let them go.
Unfortunately, Luo Dan was not an ordinary person. He had always been alone in his travels. He did not know much about the big families and big forces on the mainland, nor had he heard of the reputation of the Lei family. In his eyes, the Lei family was just a force that wanted to snatch the dragon blood from him, and there was nothing special about it.
Not knowing how powerful the Lei family is, naturally there is no awe in them. Luo Dan stood there, his expression calm, his eyes revealing an unyielding stubbornness. Want him to give face? Humph, ordinary people don't have this qualification.
"Lei Family? Sorry, I'm a little ignorant and don't know what Lei Family is." Luo Dan chuckled, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "I don't know what benefit your face and favors will bring to me. I only know that this dragon blood is very important to me. I got it with great difficulty. How can I give it to you so easily?"
Lei Zhen's face changed slightly after hearing Luo Dan's words. He didn't expect that Luo Dan would be so disrespectful to the Lei family that he had never even heard of the Lei family's name. This made him a little angry, but also a little helpless. After all, they were asking for help now and couldn't easily offend Luo Dan.
"Sir, you may not know how powerful the Lei family is, but we also play an important role on the continent." Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, trying to make Luo Dan understand the strength of the Lei family. "If you are willing to give us the dragon blood, the Lei family will be grateful. If you need anything in the future, the Lei family is willing to help you."
Luo Dan just smiled faintly after hearing Lei Zhen's words. He was not the kind of person who was easily threatened or lured by others. He had his own principles and bottom line.
"Grateful? Helping you? These words have no real meaning to me." Luo Dan shook his head and said firmly, "I only know that this dragon blood is very important to me. It is the key to my self-improvement. If you really want to get it, you must come up with conditions that satisfy me. If you can't satisfy me, I can't give you the dragon blood."
Lei Zhen was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Luo Dan was not someone who could be easily persuaded. It seemed that if they wanted to get the dragon blood, they would have to work harder.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other Lei family members changed slightly. Lei Zhen's brows were furrowed, and a trace of astonishment and displeasure flashed in his eyes. The housekeeper beside him was also stunned, obviously he did not expect that someone would be so unconvinced by the Lei family.
"You... you don't know the Lei family?" Lei Zhen said with some stammering. He couldn't believe his ears. On the mainland, the Lei family was well-known. Whether in the business world or the martial arts world, they all had to give the Lei family some face. But this kid in front of him didn't know anything about the Lei family, and he didn't give them face.
They did have the idea of relying on their power to bully others, and originally thought that as long as they revealed the name of the Lei family, the other party would obediently hand over the dragon blood. After all, in the eyes of many people, being able to get a favor from the Lei family was a hundred-sided benefit with no harm.
"Hmph, kid, don't be ungrateful. The favor of the Lei family is not something that anyone can get." The housekeeper snorted coldly, trying to use the power of the Lei family to pressure Luo Dan. Unfortunately, this kid was not smart and was not moved by their proposal at all. Luo Dan just smiled faintly, with a firm and stubborn look in his eyes.
"The favor of the Lei family is not important to me. I only know that this dragon blood has extraordinary significance to me. If you really want to get it, you must offer me conditions that satisfy me." Luodan said in a firm tone. He was not the kind of person who could be easily threatened or bribed by others.
Lei Zhen and the housekeeper looked at each other and saw the helplessness and anger in each other's eyes. They originally thought that this matter would be easy to solve, but they didn't expect to encounter such a difficult guy.
"You...what exactly do you want?" Lei Zhen said angrily. He really couldn't stand Luo Dan's attitude.
Luo Dan just smiled faintly and did not immediately answer Lei Zhen's words. He knew that the initiative was in his hands now, so he did not need to rush.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense. The Lei family members all looked gloomy, and were obviously very dissatisfied with Luo Dan's attitude. However, Luo Dan looked calm, as if he did not take the Lei family members seriously.
"Hmph, kid, don't think we really dare not do anything to you. If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame us for being rude." The butler snorted coldly, trying to threaten Luodan with force.
Luo Dan just smiled faintly and was not frightened. He knew that although the Lei family was powerful, they were not vegetarians. If they really fought, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.
Coincidentally, the group of people from the noble family who came to seek revenge on Luo Dan passed by here. They were sharp-eyed and recognized Luo Dan at once. At the same time, they also recognized the big family opposite - the Lei family, and the second young master of the Lei family, Lei Zhen.
"Oh, it's the second young master of the Lei family. I didn't expect to see you here!" A young man from the noble family greeted him with a smile on his face. "Why, did this kid do something to displease you, the second young master, that you actually brought such a group of people to surround him? Do you need my help? Our noble family and the Lei family have always been on good terms. If the second young master has any instructions, just tell me!"
These people were obviously looking for trouble and wanted to stir up trouble. They were taught a lesson by Luo Dan before and were worried about not finding a chance to take revenge. Now that they saw Luo Dan and the Lei family were in conflict, they were naturally happy to see it happen.
Luo Dan looked at them coldly, his eyes revealing contempt. He had long seen through the minds of these people, who simply wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate against him and curry favor with the Lei family.
Lei Zhen glanced at these noble family children and his expression eased a lot. He knew that there were some friendships between noble families. Although he was not very familiar with this noble family, since they took the initiative to show their friendship, he would not refuse.
"Humph, this kid didn't do anything to provoke me, but he has something in his hand that is very important to my Lei family." Lei Zhen snorted and said directly that he wanted to buy dragon blood without hiding anything. "I see that you also know this young master. Why don't you mediate between them? If I can successfully get the dragon blood, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
When these noble family children heard this, their eyes sparkled. They had never thought that Luo Dan actually had something that the Lei family wanted, and it was such a precious thing. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
"Oh, Second Young Master, you are too polite. We have some grievances with this kid Luo Dan, and we are worried that we can't find an opportunity to deal with him. Now that the Second Young Master is in need, it is our duty-bound responsibility to help him get the dragon blood!" The children of the noble families expressed their opinions one after another, and each of them seemed extremely enthusiastic.
They began to sow discord between them, sometimes mocking Luo Dan, sometimes flattering Lei Zhen. They wanted to make Luo Dan feel isolated and helpless, so that he would be forced to hand over the dragon blood.
Luo Dan looked at the faces of these people and sneered in his heart. He had seen through their thoughts long ago and knew that they would not let him go so easily. However, he was not afraid because he had his own trump card and strength. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to protect the dragon blood in his hand.
"Second Master Lei, I advise you not to waste time talking to this kid." The young man from the noble family said indignantly, his eyes revealing his deep disgust for Luo Dan. "This kid is stubborn and it's useless for you to talk to him. Besides, he is not a good person. If you take what he has, you will really be getting rid of harm to the people!"
Lei Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this. This was the first time he heard such a statement, and he became very interested in Luo Dan's identity and background. "Oh? Why do you say that? Could it be that this... young man has a grudge against you?" Lei Zhen deliberately emphasized the word "young man" to see the other party's reaction.
When the noble family member heard this, he immediately sneered: "Young Hero? How dare you call yourself a young hero! Ha, Second Young Master Lei really flatters Luo Dan. This guy is basically a street thug, or a murderous devil! Previously, it was him who killed the noble family members of our family, a total of seven or eight people, all died tragically under his knife. That scene was simply horrible!"
At this point, he paused deliberately, as if he wanted Lei Zhen to have a deeper impression of Luo Dan's evil deeds. Then, he continued: "I don't know why, the princess actually came forward to protect him and spared his life. Lei Ershao, you don't have to show mercy to such a person. He always uses any means to get what he wants. It's useless to reason with him. You want dragon blood, just rob it directly, he is not a good person!"
After Lei Zhen heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Although he was not the kind of person who easily believed others, the other party's words made him more curious about Luo Dan's identity and background. He turned his head to look at Luo Dan, only to see that Luo Dan had a calm face and did not seem to care about other people's accusations and abuses. (End of this chapter)
