Chapter 5215
It was three times the normal amount, and then with an additional 20%.
This meant that it was more than three and a half times more than the original
one.
This was a huge increase in taxes. One had to know that Nightsky City's annual tax was not a small amount.
He directly increased the taxes by more than three times. This was simply taking away the taxes of nearly four years in one breath.
Did Nightsky City have the money? Of course!
But it didn't mean that they could take it out!
The operation of a city required cash flow, a trading type of city. What kind of terrifying consequences would there be if someone were to take it away!
The city was paralyzed, and they didn't even have the money to buy goods after that. Would the auction be held next year? Would they still need to maintain the city's facilities!
This was almost a drastic measure against Nightsky City.
"More than three times? Emissary, how... how can this be? To tell you the truth, the annual tax in Nightsky City is already a heavy burden. We can barely afford it. You suddenly increased the tax by three times. We... we really can't bear it."
Looking at Luo Jin's pained expression, the man said bluntly, "City Lord Luo, I'm just telling you, not discussing it with you. So, you just have to do as I say."
"This..." Luo Jin was helpless.
But when he thought about it carefully, what could he do!
He had no choice but to do as he was told.
"I'll leave with the money in an hour." With that, the man was about to turn around and leave.
"Envoy!" Luo Jin hurriedly called out to that person and said with a bitter voice, "This... I am utterly unable to accomplish this in an hour."
They were still at the dinner party, and the items up for auction were still being counted. Many auction items had not received any payment yet.
"No matter how fast you are, we will just finish calculating the list and begin to collect the money in an hour."
The man sneered. "That's your own business."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present and said in a cold voice, "Besides, haven't they finished eating? It's only an hour for Luo Jin."
"You guys had better cooperate with City Lord Luo."
With these words, he intended to leave again.
"Sorry, if it's an hour, I don't know if others will give the money or not. At least I won't give the money."
With a chuckle, the man in black stopped, and everyone around him looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.
It was Samuel.
The man suddenly turned around and fixed his cold eyes on Samuel. "Were you the one who spoke just now?"
Samuel smiled indifferently. "What? Are you deaf?"
The man turned his horse around, and so did his subordinates behind him. All of them were ready to fight. It seemed that Samuel was about to meet a miserable end.
"Who are you?" The man shouted coldly. "Do you want to die?"
Samuel was just about to speak when Gu Chu by the side hurriedly stopped Samuel. He hurriedly whispered in his ear, "Mister, you must not offend these people."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood in front of Samuel and bowed slightly to the man. "I'm Gu Chu My friend doesn't know much about the rules here. Please don't take it to heart, Sir Envoy."
That person released a cold snort and swept his eyes over Gu Chu. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded towards the people behind him, as if he was giving Gu Chu face and not pursuing the matter any further.
However, Samuel once again stood in front of Gu Chu.
"What a joke. During the auction, it is extremely tiring. No matter what, I spent a lot of money to buynoveldrama
something here. I haven't even eaten my fill yet, and you are in a hurry to ask me to pay. Is there sucha business?"
"After two hours, I will be full. Naturally, I will pay the bill without missing a single cent. However, if anyone wants me to pay before then, forget about it."
Samuel's words shocked everyone present.
If the earlier words could be used to fool people without knowing the rules here,
then Samuel was a typical example of jumping out and seeking death.
In Nightsky City, no one dared to speak to the emissary like this, including the city lord, Luo Jin.
But Samuel provoked him twice in a row in front of so many people.
What the hell was this if not courting death?!
"What did you say?"
As expected, the man turned around, and his eyes were full of killing intent...
What do you think?
