Chapter 109.2 Product Launch (2/2)
Chapter 109.2 Product Launch (2/2)
Chen Tianyuan shook his head, for he was also in the dark about the question posed.
Isn’t Wang Ke opening a store to sell things?Why is it becoming a charity?Something’s not right!
Even Zhang Zhengdao and Zhang Li’er were lost at that point. That’s weird! Aren’t you going for the cash grab?Why are you letting your feelings run high?
“Everyone, I’ve said more than enough; I’m sure you’ve realized something! Now, I want to ask you, do you have families?” said Wang Ke as his eyes encompassed the three thousand people in front of him.
Hmm?
The three thousand cultivators quietened down immediately.
We have families too! Many of them seemed to have guessed what Wang Ke was about to say next.
“All of you have placed yourselves at the frontline in the battle against demons, all for the sake of righteousness. Have you ever thought about it? There may be one day when you perish alongside a host of demons. Have you thought about becoming a hero of the righteous faction? Becoming a martyr due to some careless move? Have you prepared for that?” Wang Ke asked.
The question grabbed everyone’s hearts.
Battles between the demonic and the righteous would often occur; it wasn’t rare to have casualties. Who could be sure of coming back alive?
Everyone could have patted their own chests and confidently proclaim they were ready to give their lives for the sake of righteousness; that is, before Wang Ke’s speech. But… But, will our families end up as miserably as what Wang Ke described just now?
“Let’s not mention the far future yet. Half a year from now, the decennial Dragon Gate Assembly will take place. I heard from my second senior brother that it’s a time when the demonic and the righteous factions would often clash and many die! My question is, will you be going? Will you avoid the demonic sect, or will you confront them?” Wang Ke looked at everyone as he questioned them.
All the people present were silent. How do you expect us to answer that question?How can the righteous faction try to avoid demons just because of fear?Still, we really don’t want to become martyrs!
“My dear pink lady, what about you? Are you afraid?” Wang Ke asked again.
Tong An’an cursed a thousand f-words in his heart. Why do you always ask me?
“I’m afraid!” Tong An’an replied, with a high-pitched voice.
“Rightly so! I’m afraid too!” Wang Ke said.
“Hmm?” Everyone looked toward Wang Ke.
“But can we skip going just because we’re afraid? How can a sect last long if there’s no new blood coming in?” Wang Ke said, “If everyone is afraid and stops recruiting disciples to pump new blood, new lives, and more population into the sect, the demons will swiftly outnumber the righteous faction in just a few years. Once demons have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, then total defeat would be imminent for the righteous faction!”
Many nodded their heads.
“But, what about your relatives? Your next of kin? Your parents, wife, husband, sons, daughters, and even grandchildren… Are you going to leave them behind? What will their fate be while you’re trying to be courageous, laying out your lives for the sake of the entire world? How will they fare? Who will care for them?” Wang Ke cried out.
Silence returned to the assembly hall.
After all, Wang Ke was touching everyone’s weak point. How to answer that question?There’s no easy answer!Some might say it’s not as exaggerated as you said it. But what if it is?
Who is going to take care of them?That genius martyr’s example was seared into my mind! It makes me shudder!
“Let me tell you who is going to take care of them!” said Wang Ke with utmost seriousness.
“Hmm?” Everyone looked at Wang Ke.
“I’m going to take care of them! My God Wang Company will!” Wang Ke said it with determination.
“You?” Many were shocked.
Most people instantly showed doubt on their faces. There was a commotion in the once silent assembly.
“Fellow cultivator in pink. What do you think? Do you think that I, Wang Ke, can do it?” Wang Ke called the pink lady once again.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for her answer. Tong An’an’s face was filled with angst.
“I don’t know!” He answered, still faking a squeaky voice.
“Right again!” Wang Ke said, satisfied with the answer.
“Oh?” Everyone looked at Wang Ke with puzzled faces.
“This is the product that I’m about to present to everyone. This is the guarantee that the God Wang Company has prepared for all our courageous warriors! It is our future! Our happiness! It is the guarantee needed by every single one of us to work together!” Wang Ke said solemnly.
“Oh? What is that?” Everyone was perplexed.
“My dear fellow cultivator in pink, do you have a family?” Wang Ke asked again.
Tong An’an’s face twitched uncontrollably under his hood. Have you recognized me already?Damn it. Why the hell do you always pull me out to flog a dead man like me!
“I do!” said Tong An’an while faking a female voice.
“Then what if… I mean, just what if! In the unfortunate event of you dying for the sake of the righteous faction, and your storage bangle is taken. How will your family members live on? Have you thought about that before?” Wang Ke asked.
Tong An’an: “………………!”
“No? All right. What if I say that the God Wang Company will provide ten thousand pounds of spirit stones for your family so they can carry on with their lives. Will that be enough?” Wang Ke asked.
“What!” Everyone gasped in shock.
What does he mean?The God Wang Company is a charity organization? Is it being established to hand out money?
Zhang Zhengdao and Zhang Li’er opened their eyes as wide as they could go. Aren’t you here to earn the big bucks?How is it that you’re giving out money now?
“Is ten thousand not enough? How about twenty-thousand?” Wang Ke asked further.
“I, I…!” The pink lady suddenly felt at a loss for words.
Damn it. Are you teasing me?I’ve known you since when we were on Divine Dragon Island. You’re an iron rooster through and through! Why would you give me money?
“If twenty-thousand is not enough, what about two million pounds?” Wang Ke asked loudly.
“Wah!”
The crowd gasped in shock yet again.
You must be joking! Two million pounds?Even an average Astral Infant cultivator might not have two million pounds!Your bluffing is too exaggerated!
Mo Sanshan looked toward Chen Tianyuan as though asking: What is your disciple doing?Has this become a bluffing competition?
Chen Tianyuan’s face was black as a pot; he didn’t offer an explanation. You unfilial disciple! You’re on your own if this bluff of yours gets exposed!
“Would that be enough?” Wang Ke asked the pink lady once again.
“Enough! That’s enough!” replied the pink lady while nodding.
“Enough? Great! That settles it! And so, all the would-be-martyrs will no longer need to worry about their families, right?” Wang Ke said with a smile.
“Wang Ke, are you for real? Don’t try to fool us!” someone questioned with a frown.
Wang Ke shook his head and replied, “I, Wang Ke, am a man of my word. This is going to be the product for sale! ‘Accidental Death Insurance’!”
“Accidental Death Insurance?” Everyone gasped in surprise.
“That’s right. ‘Accidental Death Insurance.’ Each costs five thousand pounds of spirit stones! The buyer can state clearly who the beneficiaries are, and each insurance is effective for five years. If the buyer dies because of an accident during that five-year coverage, their beneficiaries can come to the God Wang Tower to get a hundred-thousand pounds of spirit stones for their retirement, with the insurance paper as proof,” Wang Ke explained seriously.
“Five thousand pounds to buy insurance? And the compensation gives us twenty times the cost?” Many frowned doubtfully.
“That’s right. You can buy ten sets of insurance policies, so when you claim your insurance, you’ll get one million. The more you buy, the more you can claim!” Wang Ke continued explaining.
The entire assembly hall became quiet, so much so that time seemed to have stopped. Why do I feel that the topic of our conversation was diverted?It sounds a little odd!
