Chapter 504: Chapters 545-541, Collecting Debts

Dust settled.

Fang Yi wasn’t surprised at all. After all, people are greedy, and these veterans were ruthless. He couldn’t believe that they would not be tempted by such great interests.

Fang Yi had been well prepared. He took out a small vial and placed it on the table, saying, "Inside here are the Heart-shattering Pills I have concocted. Only I have the antidote. For the sake of future wealth for all of us and for safety, I think everyone understands what I mean."

Of course, they did, but none of them hesitated. They had just sworn an oath and made their stance clear. If anyone were to hesitate now, wouldn’t they be slapping their own face? Led by Yang Dingfeng, they swallowed the Heart-shattering Pills, with the other three following suit.

After the four men had taken the Heart-shattering Pills, Fang Yi sat down and said, "Alright, since everyone has demonstrated their sincerity, let’s discuss how to exploit that gold mine."

This discussion went on until late into the night.

The content of the negotiation was actually quite straightforward: they needed to find enough manpower to mine the gold without the use of machinery on a large scale, as they wanted to avoid drawing attention.

The most important point was that when Su Ge’er and the others were selecting their workforce, they had to find absolutely reliable people. But even that wasn’t safe enough, so Fang Yi told them to wait another week.

During that week, Fang Yi spent a considerable amount of herbs and time to concoct hundreds of Heart-shattering Pills. He then handed them over to the four leaders to be administered to those working in the gold mine, as a means of control.

Meng Wei, Yang Dingfeng, and Lin Mu had no objections. However, Su Ge’er’s eyes flashed with an unusual gleam when she saw the dozens of Heart-shattering Pills: "This Heart Shattering Pill requires an antidote at regular intervals, without which one dies, and afterwards no cause can be found. Alliance Hierarch, I am finding it increasingly difficult to see through you."

Indeed, Su Ge’er was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Fang Yi. Her original plan had been to draw Fang Yi to the Desire Sect’s side, even if it meant gifting her Vermilion Bird Alliance to him. The goal was to control Fang Yi, but as his power grew and he united the five alliances, Su Ge’er felt that she was losing her grip on him.

Now with the addition of the gold mine and the Heart-shattering Pills, Fang Yi had given Su Ge’er too many shocks, making her feel that Fang Yi was slipping further from her control.

As for Su Ge’er’s thoughts, Fang Yi naturally didn’t know, nor did he care to guess. Now, the most important thing was to excavate the gold mine—that was the crux of the matter. As for Su Ge’er and the others, with the Heart-shattering Pills controlling them, Fang Yi had no worries.
