The Supreme God
Chapter 84 Protection Fee
After the steward just left, six men who had been standing under a tree not far away approached the new outer disciples. Wicked expressions reflected on their faces.
"Hi! Everybody! Since you are new here, let me tell you two things. First, I would like to extend a warm welcome. You are now members of the family of outer disciples."
A man who appeared to be around twenty years of age said loudly to the new outer disciples. He seemed high-spiritedly and enthusiastic.
In contrast, the six men standing beside him still wore sly smiles. They didn't seem to be as nice as the speaker.
Still, just to avoid trouble, the new outer disciples showed their gratitude.
"Ah," the speaker said," You don't have to thank me. There's no need to be so formal. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you."
The young man continued talking.
"The second thing I wanted to share was that every new outer disciple is required to pay us ten vital energy crystals."
The young man paused and waited for his audience to react.
Hearing what he had said, the new outer disciples were stunned. After a moment's silence, they began whispering and discussing among themselves. As outrage grew, their voices soared. Soon, the residential area was filled with noise.
"What? What do you mean?"
"Is this a sect rule?"
They clamored to have their questions heard.
"The ten vital energy crystals are a sort of 'getting to know you' gift. You can also call it a protection fee or routine money. As long as you pay us the vital energy crystals, no one can harm you. If anyone tries, you can mention that you are under Billy Tan's protection!"
Protection fee!
The new disciples were not foolish. They understood at once that the six disciples were blackmailing them. It was the six disciples who were threatening the new disciples now!
"Be quick! Pay us the crystals. Only then can you leave. If you are not willing to... Hmmm!"
The young man paused, and his expression turned cold. He glared intimidatingly at all the new outer disciples.
"One thing you should know is that our leader, Billy Tang, is ranked fifteenth among the outer disciples. Whether you want to or not, you have to give us the crystals. And this is Mr. Billy Tang's brother, Barton Tang."
While the young man was speaking, he pointed to another young man who was dressed in purple. He looked arrogant and wore a cold smile on his face.
