Chapter 1271 - 1205: No Business Without Trickery!
"Young Master Haolong, Young Master Haoyu, you must leave quickly!"
Sensing the situation was dire.
The fifteen black-armored guards swiftly moved in front of Zhuge Haolong, turned around to form a row, and stared at Luk Zheng like they were facing a formidable enemy.
As battle-hardened guards, their eyesight and temperament naturally surpassed those of Zhuge Haolong and his companion.
Seeing Luk Zheng kill the steward without even blinking, they realized they had encountered a brutal man.
And such a person is capable of anything.
Buzz!
Zhuge Haolong also immediately activated a teleport portal, but the two of them hesitated to enter.
"Hurry up and get in!"
One of the guards urged impatiently.
"We want to go in, but our legs won’t listen!"
Zhuge Haolong and his companion were almost in tears.
"Are you so scared your legs turned to jelly?"
Luk Zheng was stunned, shook his head mockingly, truly calling them useless.
"Damn it!"
The guard cursed under his breath, turned and carried the two of them, then dashed toward the teleport portal.
Swoosh!
But suddenly.
A figure blocked the entrance to the portal—it was Luk Zheng!
"What speed!"
The faces of the dozen guards drastically changed.
Boom!
Luk Zheng waved his hand, and the portal shattered instantly. Then, his forefinger pointed in the air, and fifteen streams of Battle Intent appeared, lightning-fast penetrating the brows of the fifteen guards.
Ah!!!
Accompanied by screams, fifteen men perished on the spot!
"Don’t kill us..."
"Please, spare us!"
Zhuge Haolong and his companion were so scared they collapsed, kneeling and pleading desperately.
"I can spare you, but bark like a dog for me to hear."
Luk Zheng said playfully.
"Woof!!!"
The two immediately barked like dogs, echoing throughout the street.
The crowd erupted in laughter.
To think the esteemed direct descendants of the Zhuge family would be so spineless, barking as soon as ordered.
This completely brought shame to the Zhuge family!
"If the old Zhuge saw you like this, he might die of rage."
"So, I’ll be a good person and send you off to the afterlife!"
Luk Zheng sneered, raised his hand, and a wave of Battle Intent rushed towards the two!
"No..."
The two cried out in anguish.
But it was to no avail.
The Battle Intent, like a terrifying blade, instantly engulfed them, blood splattering on the spot!
"Killed them?"
The crowd was stunned.
The surroundings fell into dead silence.
Killing the steward and those guards exceeded their imagination, but also killing Zhuge Haolong and his companion?
This was too insane!
Let it be known.
These two were direct descendants, far more important in the Zhuge family than the steward!
Does he even know what he’s doing? Or even comprehend how grave his mistake is?
But to this.
Luk Zheng smiled indifferently, turned, and entered the Treasure Pavilion.
As soon as Luk Zheng entered, everyone inside the Treasure Pavilion retreated to the corner, filled with fear in their eyes.
The dozen arrogant youths became even more terrified, hiding behind the crowd, not daring to make a sound.
This man dared to kill even Zhuge Haolong and Zhuge Haoyu, let alone them.
Walking to Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong, Luk Zheng chuckled, "Now no one will bother us."
Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong also smiled faintly.
Sun Dahai beside them had his pupils constrict.
To remain so calm after killing someone from the Zhuge family shows that these three are not ordinary.
Sun Dahai smiled and said, "How about we go to the VIP room to talk?"
"I just killed someone from the Zhuge family, and you’re taking us to the VIP room, aren’t you afraid of their revenge?"
Luk Zheng teased.
Sun Dahai laughed, "Our Treasure Pavilion doesn’t deal in enmity, only business."
"Haha..."
Luk Zheng laughed, "Then lead the way!"
...
Second floor.
VIP room!
Sun Dahai opened the door, walked to the tea table and motioned, "Please, sit."
Qin Feiyang plopped down, smiling lightly, "Let’s skip the small talk and get straight to the point!"
Sun Dahai paused.
He was just pondering how to inquire about their identities, but Qin Feiyang saw through him, making it awkward to probe further.
Sun Dahai shook his head with a smile, "Young brother, you’re really straightforward. Alright, what do you need?"
Qin Feiyang said, "Teleport portal, ingredients for Battle Intent elixir."
"How much do you need?"
Sun Dahai asked.
Qin Feiyang said, "All of it."
"What?"
Sun Dahai was petrified, even doubted if he heard it right.
Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "However much your Treasure Pavilion has, I want it all. Price is not an issue, I have only one condition—speed."
Luk Zheng killing the steward and the two from the Zhuge family will surely provoke the family completely.
It won’t be long before someone else comes, and they won’t be ordinary people, so we need to leave Empire City as soon as possible.
"Are you sure it’s all of it?"
Sun Dahai still found it hard to accept.
The Treasure Pavilion in the First District is the Grand Pavilion of the Great Qin Empire, so naturally, it has an abundance of teleportation portals and Battle Intent pills.
And although the three people in front of him had impressive strength, it didn’t necessarily mean they had immense wealth.
Frankly speaking, he was skeptical about whether the three had that much money.
"Why are you so annoying? Just get ready when you’re told to. Why ask so much?"
"If you can’t make the decision, find someone who can to talk to us."
Luk Zheng said impatiently.
Sun Dahai took a deep look at the three of them, nodded, and said: "Alright, I’ll have someone prepare it right away. Guards!"
The door opened, and a guard walked in.
Sun Dahai instructed: "Quickly call someone to gather all the teleportation portals and the materials for the Battle Intent pills."
"Yes."
The guard responded respectfully, glanced at Qin Feiyang and the other two, then turned and ran out.
"How long will it take?"
Lu Hong asked.
Sun Dahai smiled and said: "It won’t take long, because all the materials in my Treasure Pavilion are pre-cataloged, with each type separately stored in a Qiankun Bag. They just need to fetch them."
Lu Hong nodded and said: "Additionally, we also want that fruit displayed in the hall."
"Hmm?"
Sun Dahai asked in surprise: "Do you three know what that fruit is?"
Luk Zheng glanced at Sun Dahai and also looked suspiciously at Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong.
"I don’t know."
Lu Hong shook her head.
"If you don’t know, what do you want it for?"
Sun Dahai was puzzled.
Lu Hong replied calmly: "It just seems interesting, and we want to take it to study."
"Study?"
Sun Dahai scrutinized Lu Hong, then suddenly smiled and said apologetically: "Sorry, we really haven’t planned on selling that fruit."
"Name your price."
Lu Hong said.
Sun Dahai’s eyes sparkled.
Name any price?
Does this mean it’s not an ordinary item?
He smiled calmly and said: "Miss, it’s not about the price. The Pavilion Master personally instructed me, and I dare not make decisions on my own!"
In truth, it was an excuse to test Qin Feiyang and his companions.
But how could this escape Qin Feiyang’s keen eyes?
He waved his hand, and a pill appeared on the tea table. Looking at Sun Dahai, he said: "I like doing business with honest people."
Sun Dahai smiled sheepishly, looked down at the pill on the table, and immediately stood up, his eyes full of surprise.
It was actually a Potential Elixir!
Could this person be...
He suddenly looked up at Qin Feiyang, just about to speak.
Qin Feiyang said indifferently: "You don’t have to say some things out loud, just understand them in your heart."
"Whew!"
Sun Dahai took a deep breath, returned to his seat, crossed his fingers, and said: "Ten Potential Elixirs, and I’ll give you that fruit."
"Why not ask for a hundred?"
Lu Hong sneered.
How valuable are ten Potential Elixirs? Yet this old man dares to ask for it.
Sun Dahai smiled and said: "Miss, you must understand that an item that even my Treasure Pavilion doesn’t know about is certainly extraordinary, so it’s worth that price. Perhaps I’ve even underestimated its value."
Lu Hong said: "Then you also must understand that we can completely take it openly without paying a cent."
Sun Dahai’s brows furrowed.
"That’s actually reasonable. We’re not even afraid of the State Preceptor and the current emperor, and yet you’d think we’d fear just a Treasure Pavilion?"
"Watch it, I will just go and take it now."
Luk Zheng chuckled, got up, and started walking outside.
"Wait."
Sun Dahai’s face changed, and he hurriedly got up to pull Luk Zheng back, looking at Qin Feiyang with a forced smile: "Brother Qin, we’ve known each other for so long, can’t you give me this favor, and not cause trouble here."
Now he remembered that the guy in front of him was a troublemaker with no bounds.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said: "Then tell me, how many Potential Elixirs do you actually want?"
"This..."
Sun Dahai was hesitant.
He really couldn’t estimate the value of that fruit.
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and said: "Let’s do it this way, I’ll give you twenty Potential Elixirs, as payment for the teleportation portals, the materials, and the fruit. Is that enough?"
"Twenty!"
Sun Dahai’s eyes lit up.
Luk Zheng frowned and said: "Make a decision quickly, my patience is limited."
Sun Dahai pondered for a moment, released Luk Zheng, turned to Qin Feiyang, and nodded: "Deal."
Qin Feiyang immediately went to the ancient castle.
Lu Hong smiled and said: "Elder Sun, I think you asking for Potential Elixirs might be inappropriate right now."
"What do you mean?"
Sun Dahai was confused.
"The world knows that only we can refine Potential Elixirs, and when you auction off these elixirs, won’t the State Preceptor and the emperor know you’re in cahoots with us?"
Lu Hong said.
"So that’s what it is."
Sun Dahai suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and said: "That’s not a big problem. When they come asking, I’ll say it’s from a past transaction with you before your identities were exposed. They can’t trace it back."
"Smart."
Lu Hong gave a thumbs-up and said meaningfully: "But this would be treason. If exposed, you might lose your life."
"If you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, who would know?"
"Moreover, since you’ve had a falling-out with His Majesty, causing a scarcity of Potential Elixirs, I could seize the opportunity to auction for a good price."
Sun Dahai laughed heartily, unconcerned.
"Truly no unscrupulousness in business."
Lu Hong secretly despised.
It’s foreseeable that once Sun Dahai announces the auction of Potential Elixirs, the scene will be explosive.
