<h4>1396 I“m Not A B*tch.</h4>


    “Three times. Don’t get too carried away with yourself,” Lord Li said with a furious expression. If Lord Gen still wasn’t satisfied with this, he would fight even if he didn’t want to.


    In reality, the amount of goods Ling Lan brought back was really huge. If he was really going to pay five times more, he would probably die of heartache. As such, he would never agree to her radical request.


    “Fine. Since we’re both members of the 13 Lords, I’ll give you some leeway.” Looking at Lord Li’s heartbroken expression, Ling Lan knew that she was close to his bottom line. This was the only reason why she agreed to settle for three times the amount.


    Actually, Ling Lan didn’t care how muchpensation he gave. After all, there were two huge powers behind her helping her to gather her supplies. The only issue on her hand was time. The reason why she wanted five times the amount ofpensation was to make an example out of Lord Li. If she didn’t punish Lord Li for what he did, the other lords might think of her like a doormat who they could steal off of with no repercussions.


    Even if she really did tolerate Lord Li’s actions, the same thing would happen a second time, a third time, and multiple times in the future if she didn’t nip the problem off the bud immediately. Plus, as a person of her caliber, she could never allow this to happen, as this would undermine her legitimacy as a representative of the Soul Society.


    Another reason was that ever since she was young, Ling Lan had always been the bully, and in the Lawless Lands, this wouldn’t change. Her image mustn’t fall.


    “When the battle royale ends, please pay me what you owe.” After resolving the issue, Ling Lan gently opened her hands, letting the Tangdao and the tri-edge trench knife fall to the floor before dissipating them into a ball of cold mist.


    “Don’t worry. I will not forget my promise.” Lord Li squinted. The fire whip in his hand also disappeared.


    “However, my promise won’t stand if you lose the battle royale. The battlefield will decide everything. If you lose, you will concede your invaded territories and have to cough up everything you snatched.” Lord Li said coldly, “Lord Gen, don’t go against this rule.”


    Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. “The battlefield will resolve itself. It has nothing to do with me.”


    “Then, why did you still ask me forpensation?” Lord Li asked angrily. This was his rightful gains from the battle royale. Why was this fellow shameless enough to ask for it back?


    Ling Lan tidied her gown and looked up. She sneered. “Because I’m not a b*tch.”


    After she finished speaking, her body slowly merged with the background and disappeared. Only Lord Li was left in the pce.


    Lord Li stood still for a moment. Then, he went back to his bedroom toy on his bed. He crawled onto his bed, ced her hands above his stomach and shut his eyes.


    More than ten secondster, Lord Li suddenly snorted andughed. “That fellow is really not afraid of anything...”


    He actually became an example to warn the other lords. This fact infuriated Lord Li. However, there was nothing he could do, unless he was willing to risk his life just like the other party and ept the battle.


    But... he was too old to take such risk anymore. Plus, life just became more valuable the more you lived it. He really didn’t want to risk his life just over some stolen goods unless there was no other choice.


    ‘Let’s wait and see. Let me see if you can still be so arrogant after the battle royale ends,’ Lord Li thought to himself furiously.


    On the other side, Zhao Jun brought his mecha n and entered the Kamoda District.


    This was the section the 13 Lords segregated for mecha battles. This area amounted to 50 acres, making the surface area as wide as the main territory of a lord.


    This piece ofnd would be given to the lord that won the battle royalest year. Lord Gen lost terriblyst year so he didn’t have the home ground advantage. He could only attack from the outside.


    Fortunately, the Kamoda district was very big. They could attack the district from all directions. Even if the owner of thisnd wanted to ambush them, he couldn’t do it unless he had reliable information regarding their offensive ns.


    However, the lord who lost would be guarding against this leak of information too. To counteract this problem, he would give the leader of the mecha n the luxury of choosing where to attack from several preset options.


    This act stopped any chances of them getting exposed and being ambushed.


    And as battle royales got more figured out, no one had the interest to do such an arduous and fruitless job anymore.
