Chapter 706: Chapter 638 Forgiveness Chapter 706: Chapter 638 Forgiveness “Tiancheng, Lord Tiancheng, what does this mean?”
Bohr Aphis, as the Clan Leader, had no choice but to steel himself and inquire.
“Don’t tell me your family’s old ghost made a move without you knowing.”
Bai Tiancheng’s expression gradually grew colder.
The Bai Family could accept the Aphis family’s underhanded tricks in private, and they would stop at nothing with those who were on their deathbeds—it wasn’t such a big deal.
But if they continued to lie at a time like this, it would indicate a problem with loyalty!
Bohr Aphis also understood his predicament very well.
He made only a tentative argument to test the waters, and when he saw that things were not in his favor, he immediately knelt with a ‘thump.’
“Lord Tiancheng, please calm your anger!
Our ancestor is approaching the end of his life and is not in his right mind; we could only satisfy his demands.”
Bohr Aphis was a Catastrophe Level, not a newly initiated one at that, and coupled with his position as the head of the Aphis family, kneeling directly in front of so many people certainly showed his submission.
A Catastrophe Level was an absolute force that could not be ignored anywhere, possessing an extremely high status.
Such an act of kneeling was enough to illustrate the influence of the Bai Family!
The action of lowering his status without consideration also made Bai Tiancheng’s expression slightly better.

“Get up, what does this look like?”
“Lord Tiancheng, please calm your anger…”
Bohr took a slight breath of relief, knowing that although Tiancheng had said that, if he hadn’t knelt down, today would probably have been troublesome.
Then he couldn’t help but say with a bitter smile,
“Is it because the old ancestor was not in his right mind and used the power of the Evil God, leaving behind traces…”
He knew that if there wasn’t some reason, the incident, which didn’t cause much destruction, wouldn’t have led the Bai Family to persistently target his family.
It was very likely that they had left behind a clue that couldn’t be ignored, and as the lord of a city, the Bai Family had to take a stand.
“As for his mind, it was quite clear, very cleanly handled.”
Another calm voice came, immediately bringing joy to the expressions of Long Yin’er and Lady Long.
Tao Yu, whose aura was perfectly contained, slowly walked in from the entrance, his face brimming with smiles.
The appearance of Tao Yu was completely unexpected for everyone from the Aphis family, and their faces showed shock.
“You…
you…”
“Is it such a surprise to see me?
The ‘gift’ your old ancestor sent me was quite hard to swallow; how should I return the favor to your family…”
Tao Yu’s hands were in his pockets, casually standing beside Bai Tiancheng.
“To have your doomed patriarch use the power of the Evil God to attack me, and then immediately come to trouble my lover—haha, if I killed you all here and now, I’m sure Lord Tiancheng wouldn’t say anything…”
Tao Yu spoke calmly, then turned to glance at Bai Tiancheng,
“Isn’t that right, Lord Tiancheng?”
“Indeed, but after all, the State Capital does not allow Catastrophe Level to engage in conflict, so don’t make things difficult for me.”
Bai Tiancheng was noncommittal; if the Aphis family started it, they couldn’t blame others for responding in kind!
Bohr Aphis then hurriedly said,
“Lord Tiancheng!
If our ancestor truly burned his life in the end, sacrificing everything and using the power of the Evil God, he must already be highly polluted, he…”
“He’s quite normal, hasn’t exceeded the pollution threshold; otherwise, why would I come?”
Bai Tiancheng looked coldly at the members of the Aphis family.
This instantly caused their faces to blanch; how could it be that their ancestor had burned his life’s fire, sacrificed everything, and the opponent hadn’t even exceeded the pollution threshold?
This was totally against their plan!
“Although he hasn’t exceeded the threshold, it made me quite uncomfortable, and I might need to lay low for a while; don’t worry, I won’t deal with you so soon.”
Tao Yu grinned.
However, it was at this time that Bai Tiancheng timely spoke,
“The Aphis family instigated first, but we of the Bai Family are not unreasonable; however, a Catastrophe Level is after all a rare resource, so I hope Mr.
Klein will give them a chance for redemption and compensation.”
Bai Tiancheng offered some protection after all; if they really didn’t care, it would definitely be the end for them.
The patriarch of the Aphis family, even if he risked his old life, couldn’t trouble the other party, and once the other side recovered, it could be said that the Aphis family would be in big trouble.
Even if the State Capital did not take action, what about the Abyssal Fragment?

The power disparity of Catastrophe Level between the two sides was plainly evident, and they didn’t even know which side he specifically belonged to.
It could be said that at this time, the Aphis family was at an absolute disadvantage.
This disadvantage was even greater than the comparison between the Aphis family and the Long Family.
How the Aphis family wanted to pressure the Long Family in the past was now returned, super amplified!
However, it could also be seen that the Bai Family cared about their reputation as well; although they did step in to defend, it was not unconditionally so.
And Tao Yu was also making some corresponding assessments and judgments on the side.
Hearing this, he paused slightly before nodding,
“No matter what, we still need to give the Bai Family face.
If you give me all your Yuan Force cash flow, then maybe I won’t trouble you anymore.”
Tao Yu’s words, spoken with a light and casual air, seemed to trivialize the matter.
But asking purely for Yuan Force seemed like it was just to annoy them, yet in a sense, it was an act of sincerity!
“This…, our ancestor has indeed contributed a lot to the family, and we acknowledge the wrongs he has committed.
It is indeed our fault this time.
However, our family’s current Yuan Force cash flow is not much, only about three to four hundred million.”
Bohr Aphis was flexible and resilient, weighing his options at this moment, he could understand the severity of the situation!
If they could really resolve the issue with three to four hundred million, he would actually be very willing.
The fear was that the other party would speak nicely but then take action when it mattered most!
In such a case, getting the other party to sign some form of binding Contract Document would likely be very difficult.
Even if they did sign a contract, it would be easy to find loopholes.
After all, the other party was the stronger one, and the contract couldn’t be too detailed, making it easy to exploit loopholes.
“Three hundred million, and I can sign a contract that is fairly restrictive.
It’s up to you to decide.
If you don’t sign the contract, just a casual few tens of millions will do as a token gesture.
I’m quite generous,” Tao Yu said with an indifferent expression, causing Bohr Aphis’s face to change dramatically.
He then gritted his teeth and said,
“Agreed, please, Tiancheng, bear witness!”
“Understood.”
Bai Tiancheng nodded, feeling that resolving the issue so simply was quite good.
In this world, might is right.
If even the ancestor’s sacrificial blow was useless, then they might as well accept defeat submissively…
…
With another three hundred million Yuan Force in his account, Tao Yu was quite satisfied.
He knew that Bohr had probably inflated the figures, but it didn’t matter to him; let him inflate if he wanted, the contract he signed had hardly any binding power anyway.
He wasn’t averse to benefiting for free.
Seeing Tao Yu nonchalantly press his spirituality onto the Contract Document, and after the document burned, confirming the contents of the contract, Bohr’s face finally showed a hint of a smile,
“Mr.
Klein, there were some misunderstandings between us before, and now they are resolved.
I hope we have the opportunity to form some cooperation in the future, after all with the contract as a foundation, we also have a basis for cooperation.
Of course, we will show some consideration for the Long Family too.”
Bohr Aphis could bend or stand as needed, having paid the compensation with a bowed head, still wanting to make the most of the situation as much as possible.
No fights, no acquaintance!
Because of the contract, the relationship between the two parties was actually more reliable than average partners.
Tao Yu, seemingly not taking it too seriously, arched an eyebrow and said,
“That’s not impossible.
By the way, that isolation device your ancestor had is from the Xing Family, right?
Are they selling it to others?
How did you manage to get it…”
This question made Bohr Aphis, who had just relaxed after resolving the issue, stiffen instantly.
“Oh?
The isolation device…”
Bai Tiancheng, who was there to witness, initially felt that the issue was handled quite well.
The conclusion was joyous for all, successfully smoothing over a discord.
But this sudden piece of news still piqued his interest…
