Chapter 502: linked interests (1)
Ye Zhongming’s words lasted a long time, but no one spoke. Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.
They were so shocked that their brains couldn’t comprehend what this meant. They felt like this was too out of hand.
Even Cloud Peak members felt the same. The difference was that they felt proud.
There could only be one voice in Ying City… Ying City will become Cloud Peak’s hunting ground!
How much confidence and pride did a person have to say that?
If it became a reality, would this be a part of history? They not only participated in history, but they witnessed it being made.
Was the boss going to lead Cloud Peak to glory once again?
“Since it is Cloud Peak’s hunting ground, you must pay a price to live and hunt inside. I call it…”
“City tax.”
He gave them enough time to think before saying slowly. His words made these Ying City factions feel insulted.
He… Collected tax?
He was ripping them off.
There were two thousand factions that came. If each one paid tax to Cloud Peak, how much would they get?
Was he forcing everyone to go against Cloud Peak?
“Ye, Boss Ye!” A guy at the end of the first row shouted and attracted everyone’s attention. All the gazes drained this person’s courage.
But he had already shouted, and everyone was waiting for him to continue. He could only pick up some courage, “This, this, city tax, how, how much?”
The bosses of Ying City were disappointed. They thought that someone would step up to resist. Who knew that this person skipped past the question of whether or not they should pay and asked how much they had to pay?
Was he agreeing?
But no one stepped out. It wasn’t good to stand out; the person who stood out would often get faced with a gun.
“Good question, there is a plan here; take a look.”
Ye Zhongming moved his hands, and Cloud Peak members passed a stack of papers to these bosses. A bunch of them finished and then handed them to another group.
After seeing the taxation plan, their expressions recovered from ashen white, and they looked more relaxed.
The tax conditions weren’t too strict, and it was easy for any faction.
For example, it was based on the number of survivors and their average evolution level. It was very little; it might not even be a day's income for many factions. Moreover, he only asked for demon crystals or materials of equal value.
If that was it, then they could accept it.
But it didn’t feel good to be ripped off. Moreover, this place was tiered, so the amount of tax they paid in the future would increase.
“Everyone is unhappy even if my conditions aren’t high.” Ye Zhongming stood up. No one dared to sit, and they all stood.
“But don’t forget that I am why the Zombie King in Ying City isn’t fighting all of you. The level-six Zombie King, her level-six soul partner, and the level-five lifeforms protecting her. Do you think you can fight her?”
“This point alone makes it worth the tax you are paying.”
The leaders of Ying City felt awkward. They forgot about that matter. If they looked at it that way, it did make sense. Even Star Beauty Company could not go against that beautiful female Zombie King.
“Also, I don’t intend to extort all of you. Cloud Peak’s development didn’t rely on you people.”
“On the contrary, I hope to turn Ying City into a strong Ying City and not one that everyone can rip off.”
A few thousand gazes had flames in them. Although they were afraid of this young man, they believed him. Truth proved that everything he said became real. Be it good or bad.
“Any faction that agrees to join the tax system will become a member of Cloud Peak. To a certain extent, we will stand on the same side. The main rule is to protect Ying City’s interests.”
“As long as you become a member of the Alliance, Cloud Peak will provide benefits to help all of you grow. This is my promise.”
“As for what they are, Xia Lei will tell them to you. Anyways, you will all be satisfied.”
After Ye Zhongming said all that, the discussions continued below before he said, “I have shown sincerity. I hope you do, too, as it will benefit everyone.”
Their bodies shivered, and they understood what he meant.contemporary romance
If you disagree, don’t blame me!
This Boss Ye’s power was built on fresh blood and lives.
After saying all this, Ye Zhongming retreated to the chair. Xia Lei sat beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder. She clearly explained the benefits that Cloud Peak would give Ying City.
This concerned everyone’s interest, and everyone listened intently. The more they heard, the more excited they got.
Cloud Peak was creating a club, and those who joined would become members. Their benefits were in a few areas.
One was the priority purchase of modified potions that included the modified potions of the first three levels. Although they weren’t cheap, everyone knew that it was good. In the past, only factions that Cloud Peak supported could purchase it, but now it was open. People would still be willing to purchase it if it were slightly more expensive.
Next was the priority purchase of equipment and member’s price.
Everyone knew that Cloud Peak produced good equipment, which many people envied. After the Precision Wheel, the small factions relied on Cloud Peak's equipment to rise.
Ye Zhongming’s smith level increased, and he could create better weapons. This was an excellent chance for them to get stronger.
The price that Xia Lei announced was enough to entice any of them.
