Three hundred million was undoubtedly a colossal fortune, an astronomical sum that Xu Ke previously couldn't have even fathomed.
For the Ye and Huang Families, the silver lining was that Xu Ke had only asked each family for sixty million. This made the financial pressure significantly less severe. If Xu Ke had really taken three hundred million in one go, it would have been an unbearable blow for any single family. Of course, Yuan Shang could support Xu Ke taking three hundred million, but not him taking the death compensation paid by the Ye Family to the others. So, the final figure still fell short of the original three hundred and forty million, but that didn't bother Xu Ke at all.
He had never expected to receive the death compensation in the first place, and the excuse he'd given was complete nonsense, designed only to fool them. In the end, simply getting the money was the greatest victory.
