Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 847: Divide the Spoils

Yan Chen was holding a piece of raw meat, teasing the Flame Tiger. The ferocious Flame Tiger appeared like a big cat in front of Yan Chen.

The fake Joker held a hollow dagger and a small mirror in one hand. He seemed dissatisfied with his current appearance, occasionally cutting the wounds on his face longer with the sword, allowing blood to drip down.

Black Blood held his breath, his face turning red, looking like he could suffocate at any moment.

Ol Beauty sat nervously on the side. She felt like a husky that had infiltrated a wolf pack, on the verge of being exposed. Her eyes seemed to scream, "Who will save me? I'm about to be exposed."

Before discussing Ol' Beauty's psychological shadow among the lunatics, they were about to start dividing the spoils.

"What about the others? They collectively earned 1089 merit points. After deducting our share, what they get is very little."

Su Xiao spoke, the dragon-slaying flash he maintained gleaming like new.

"I'll handle this," Yan Chen said ambitiously. His ambition lay in using this event to win people's hearts. There was another layer of meaning: he could take a smaller share, but Su Xiao couldn't stop him from doing something.

The current situation was obvious: the hundred-plus lunatics remaining in the Twilight Palace would not be accepted by their respective adventurer groups anymore, and Yan Chen had his eye on them.

"Oh? Are you also responsible for their share?" Su Xiao looked at Fake Joker, Black Blood, and Ol Beauty.

"Of course. You have to give to get. This is my initial investment in the new adventurer group. I'll take on what they've earned," Yan Chen said, casting an inquiring look at Fake Joker and Black Blood. He was recruiting the two.

"I have no problem with that. But Yan Chen, if following you get boring, I'll leave anytime," Fake Joker said, indifferent to changing adventurer groups; his original group had already been wiped out.

"Well..." Black Blood yawned.

"I refuse." Black Blood declined Yan Chen's recruitment.

"Reason?" Yan Chen remained composed.

"No reason," Black Blood shrugged. He faced Yan Chen with a challenging look, calm like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"Kid, do you believe I'll throw you into that pit right now?" Yan Chen gently patted Black Blood's shoulder.

"Really? I've wanted to jump down all along, but I felt I might die if I did, so I'm hesitating," Black Blood said as a Flame Tiger lunged forward from Yan Chen's side, biting Black Blood's throat.

"Hahaha!" Black Blood suddenly laughed loudly, showing no concern about being bitten in the throat by the Flame Tiger.

"I suddenly changed my mind. It seems good to join your side," Black Blood remarked.

"Let him go," Yan Chen had already foreseen this scenario. Most people didn't know what Black Blood was thinking, but Yan Chen did. This young man enjoyed the feeling between life and death.

"Both of you, I won't force you to do anything. Or rather, you don't have to call me boss. Xi has proven the strictly hierarchical system of adventurer groups with his life. Before the leader dies, the organization is strong. Once the leader dies, it falls apart."

"I have a great idea. In the future, the Mingmen will not be a one-person hall of mine, and the position of the leader will be filled by whoever is capable. Whoever doesn't accept me, feel free to challenge me anytime. I, Yan Chen, welcome it. However, if anyone dares to act behind my back, I'll kill him immediately. Not kicking them out of the adventurer group, but killing them directly."

After saying that, Yan Chen looked at Fake Joker and Black Blood, his gaze filled with deep meaning. Both of them were unruly people. Wanting to unify these people into one adventurer group was impossible through traditional methods. Moreover, Yan Chen intended to bring the hundred-plus lunatics into the adventurer group.

"Interesting. If that's the case, I want to join," The Joker laughed heartily, clapping his thighs simultaneously.

"My intention to join is even stronger. I'll observe in your adventurer group for the time being," Black Blood said, discarding his laziness.

"Okay then. The original Mingmen are officially dissolved. The new Mingmen will be established today. First, we need to select a leader. I recommend myself."

A magic spear appeared in Yan Chen's hand. It was evident that he was very excited now. He had never shown this excitement when he first established the Mingmen.

"What a coincidence, I also recommend myself," Fake Joker flipped his dagger in hand.

"Too coincidental, I also recommend myself," Black Blood had bombs appearing on him.

The three stood in confrontation. In the new Mingmen, the strong would be respected, and the law of the jungle would be taken to the extreme.

"Uh... I... I recommend Yan Chen as the leader," Ol Beauty timidly raised her hand.

"Okay, not bad," Yan Chen patted Ol Beauty's shoulder.

"Why not recommend me?" Fake Joker's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared directly at Ol Beauty.

"Mr. Fake Joker, we're not familiar. About recommending someone..." Ol Beauty was very anxious. Fake Joker and Black Blood looked challenging to deal with. One had a mysterious ability, and the other embraced death. As an average person, Ol Beauty was afraid of these two.

"Stop the nonsense. Let's fight. Whoever wins will be the leader," Yan Chen, with ulterior motives, was motivated by his strength. As for why he didn't recruit Su Xiao, Yan Chen never had that thought from the beginning. Being hurt was too dangerous.

Facing the imminent battle between the three, Su Xiao had something to do.

"Yan Chen, I want to avoid getting involved in the internal affairs of your adventurer group. But before that, let's resolve the division of spoils. We've allied, and I don't like taking everything for myself."

"Alright. Let's split it 30-70, considering more of us here." Yan Chen opened negotiations boldly. But in negotiations, starting with high demands was normal.

"40-60," Su Xiao meant he gets 60, Yan Chen receives 40. In negotiations, one had to keep some bargaining chips.

"I'm pressed for time. 60-40. I get 60, you get 40. That's the maximum I can accept."

"50-50. I paid some extra costs dealing with Xi unexpectedly," Su Xiao said, making Yan Chen hesitate. Indeed, that was the case. Xi was killed by Su Xiao, allowing him to take the lion's share in the split. Coupled with Su Xiao providing powerful explosives, and given that Yan Chen had other purposes, which was to use this opportunity to build a new adventurer group, he was concerned that Su Xiao might interfere.

"50-50... Fine. Let's sign a temporary contract. We won't interfere with each other for the next four days."

"No problem."

Su Xiao traded 544 merit points to Yan Chen, and both parties signed a non-interference treaty.

On the surface, Yan Chen seemed to lose out in the 50-50 split. After all, his 50% would still need to be divided among Fake Joker, Black Blood, Ol Beauty, and the hundred-plus crazy contractees. Was that the truth? Not really. Yan Chen was willing to take a loss now to find a way to form an adventure group. The combat power of these people in the Twilight Palace was impressive, and most importantly, they weren't afraid to die. If he asked them to do something against morals, they wouldn't hesitate.

There were many benefits but also many disadvantages. For instance, how normal were the minds of these people, most of whom were unruly? But was Yan Chen's mind average? Not.

A group of lunatics + lunatic members. The future Mingmen would undoubtedly be a chilling existence.
