611: Chapter 607: 500 Million Yuan!
611: Chapter 607: 500 Million Yuan!
The next day, Ye Tian did not go to work at Yun Corporation but instead arrived at the manor where the headquarters of Night King Hall was located.
Seeing Ye Tian’s hurried appearance, Ye Xuong immediately rushed over and asked, “Boss, what’s so urgent?”
As the person second only to Ye Tian within Night King Hall, Ye Xuong was particularly concerned about Ye Tian, who usually behaved in a calm and collected manner.
However, for some reason, Ye Tian seemed somewhat eager today.
“Ye Xuong, I hope you can meet someone!” Ye Tian didn’t beat around the bush and said directly.
“Boss, who exactly is it?”
Ye Xuong’s gaze revealed a solemn expression, as it appeared from Ye Tian’s demeanor that this matter was of no small significance.
“Xue Yunfu!”
Ye Tian stated gravely, and then, he took out a wooden sword from his person and placed it on the table.
This wooden sword was crafted from the heart of a millennium ancient tree!
“This, this is…”
Upon seeing the wooden sword, Ye Xuong was so surprised that he was at a loss for words!
A few days earlier, the powerful ones of Night King Hall had swarmed Ye Tian to prove their strength before him.
They had thought to impress Ye Tian, but to their disbelief, a robust power had erupted from Ye Tian’s body, a force so strong that all the powerful ones were unable to withstand it.
And this wooden sword that Ye Tian was now presenting contained the same kind of power he had used at that time!
“Boss, what kind of weapon is this?
Why have I never seen it before?”
Ye Xuong asked with trepidation, for his body also contained a sinister black power, so he was especially resistant to the wooden sword in Ye Tian’s hands.
The power within him seemed to both complement and conflict with the sword’s power!
Ye Tian chuckled and said, “Ye Xuong, this wooden sword is a personal belonging of mine.
It’s thanks to this sword that I was able to defeat opponents as strong as the Rakshasa Queen!”
“What?
The Rakshasa Queen?”
Ye Xuong was momentarily stunned.
Considering the strength of the Rakshasa Queen, for her to be defeated by this wooden sword indicated that it was indeed a formidable Life Weapon.
But at this moment, Ye Tian had no time to explain too much to Ye Xuong, after all, time was of the essence.
“Ye Xuong, this wooden sword is called a ‘Life Weapon,’ a weapon of considerable power!
Not only is it extraordinarily sharp, but it also possesses great strength, and this strength will continuously upgrade and grow stronger!”
The more Ye Tian spoke, the more Ye Xuong’s heart raced with fear.
In this world, there was such a formidable weapon!
And Ye Tian’s account stopped at that…
“Ye Xuong, that guy called Xue Yunfu is in urgent need of such a weapon.
So, you will deliver this wooden sword to him, and he will then give the sword to a man called Mr.
Deng.
Once Mr.
Deng gets the sword, we will ambush him and capture him!”
Ye Tian laid out his plan, yet Ye Xuong was somewhat worried.
“Boss, with such a powerful weapon, if it falls into the hands of others, and we ambush them, I fear the target will use this weapon to resist, and by then, we might be in danger!”
Ye Xuong was deeply wary of Ye Tian’s wooden sword, so he feared the divine weapon might end up in the hands of the enemy.
Ye Tian shook his head and said, “Ye Xuong, not everyone can use the Life Weapon!
I am already familiar with this wooden sword, so when it falls into someone else’s hands, it will not only be ineffective but also quite restrictive.
Therefore, I am not afraid of others using this wooden sword against me!”
As Ye Tian said, in a way, this wooden sword was a part of his own body.
When his thoughts sank into the Tree Heart World, he and the wooden sword had become one.
If others used this wooden sword, they would fundamentally be unable to unleash its original power!
“Understood, Boss!”
Ye Xuong resolutely said and then took Ye Tian’s wooden sword and left the manor.
Meanwhile, Xue Yunfu was anxiously waiting at home when he suddenly received a call from a stranger.
“Who are you?”
Since it was an unfamiliar number, Xue Yunfu asked solemnly.
The person on the phone was straightforward, “Mr.
Xue, my last name is Xiong!
As for why I’m calling you, it’s simple.
You have something I want, and I have something you want.
So, how about we make an exchange?”
“Something I want?”
Xue Yunfu was taken aback, not understanding the other party’s intentions.
But at this moment, Xue Yunfu, having exhausted all his strategies, was not about to let go of even a glimmer of hope.
“Fine, let’s meet and talk!”
Xue Yunfu agreed, and before long, a guest arrived at his villa.
This guest was tall and didn’t appear to be of Chinese descent.
“Are you Mr.
Xiong?”
Xue Yunfu asked in surprise, and Ye Xuong nodded.
“Yes, my surname is Xiong.
As for my given name, it’s not important.
Just make sure you’re ready with the thing I need, Mr.
Xue!”
“…”
The visitor’s frankness was somewhat unexpected for Xue Yunfu.
Although Xue Yunfu did not know Ye Xuong’s background, at this moment, he had no choice but to trust him, for this was his only opportunity!
“Mr.
Xiong, please come to the study to talk!”
Xue Yunfu respectfully invited Ye Xiong into his study and warmly offered him some tea.
After Ye Xiong took a sip of tea, Xue Yunfu immediately became impatient!
“Mr.
Xiong, may I ask what good things you have brought me this time?”
“It’s this item!”
As he spoke, Ye Xiong took out a delicate little box from his body and placed the small box on the coffee table.
Xue Yunfu looked at the delicate little box, knowing that inside it must contain something rare and wonderful!
“Mr.
Xiong, may I open the box to have a look?”
Xue Yunfu cautiously asked, and Ye Xiong nodded.
“Of course, you can, but please be careful, Mr.
Xue, the content inside the box is exceptionally sharp!”
Heeding Ye Xiong’s warning, Xue Yunfu gently opened the box, and inside the box, there was a finely crafted wooden knife!
Of course, just being “finely crafted” would not arouse the interest of Xue Yunfu, the archaeologist!
What most interested Xue Yunfu was that the wooden knife faintly contained a kind of power!
As an archaeologist, Xue Yunfu had seen quite a few artifacts, which were all incredibly mysterious, and some of them contained strange powers.
The sensation Xue Yunfu got from this wooden knife was exactly like that of the Peach Wood Sword that had been taken out of the ancient tomb in Jiang City, both possessing an overwhelming power!
The difference, however, was that the power within the wooden knife seemed even more formidable than that of the Peach Wood Sword!
“Mr.
Xiong, my eyesight is not great, could you tell me, what exactly is this wooden knife?”
Although Xue Yunfu already had an inkling of the answer, he still hoped to hear it directly from Ye Xiong.
Ye Xiong didn’t hold back and replied directly, “Mr.
Xue, this is a ‘Life Weapon’!”
“Life Weapon!?”
Upon hearing this name, Xue Yunfu was utterly stunned.
He had offered his treasured Peach Wood Sword to Mr.
Deng, only to be casually rejected by Mr.
Deng who mentioned that the Peach Wood Sword didn’t qualify as a Life Weapon and was, in fact, worthless.
Xue Yunfu had also promised Mr.
Deng that he would find a Life Weapon for him within a short period in exchange for an opportunity to enter the Heavenly Dao!
Therefore, a Life Weapon was extremely important to Xue Yunfu!
“Mr.
Xue, are you okay?”
Seeing the look of astonishment on Xue Yunfu’s face, Ye Xiong also knew that this guy had been captivated by the wooden knife, so he tentatively asked.
Xue Yunfu then came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, “A Life Weapon, in that case, it must be very precious, right?”
Seeing Xue Yunfu’s feigned composure, Ye Xiong continued, “Mr.
Xue, please don’t put on such a clueless expression.
I am well-informed, and I’m aware that you’ve been desperately searching for a Life Weapon lately.
So, this wooden knife is very important to you, isn’t it?”
“…”
Having his thoughts exposed so bluntly by Ye Xiong, Xue Yunfu was left speechless.
Indeed, as Ye Xiong said, a Life Weapon was extremely important to him, and it was his only chance to join the ranks of the Heavenly Dao!
Therefore, Xue Yunfu certainly couldn’t miss such an opportunity!
“Mr.
Xiong, I had no idea you were so formidable, to know so much!
That’s right, a Life Weapon is vital to me, so please, I hope you can part with this wooden knife for me.
As for the price, we can negotiate anything!”
Xue Yunfu asked generously, and Ye Xiong straightforwardly put up five fingers.
“50 million?” Xue Yunfu guessed.
“No,” Ye Xiong shook his head.
“500 million?” Xue Yunfu guessed again.
“Still no,” Ye Xiong continued to shake his head.
“It couldn’t be 5 billion, could it?”
Xue Yunfu said with a pained expression.
Although he was wealthy, he couldn’t afford to pay such a sum all at once.
“Exactly right!
It’s 5 billion!
Not a penny less!”
Ye Xiong firmly stated, and Xue Yunfu was immediately at a loss for words.
He had not expected the other party to demand such an exorbitant sum; that much money, if given to Mr.
Xiong, would surely strain his resources greatly.
More importantly, although Xue Yunfu sensed the power of the wooden knife, he couldn’t verify that it was indeed a genuine Life Weapon.
If he spent so much money only to purchase a fake, it would be a terrible deal!
“Mr.
Xiong, could you perhaps lower the price a bit?”
Xue Yunfu pleaded, but Ye Xiong was adamant.
“It’s impossible, Mr.
Xue.
I made it very clear over the phone: our cooperation is solely because you have what I want, and I have what you need!
I know you’re desperate for a Life Weapon, which is why I’m willing to hand over this wooden knife.
So please, don’t disappoint me.
Give me what I want—that is cash!
5 billion yuan, and not a penny less!”
