Zhao Jinhai's body trembled slightly with excitement. He knew very well that if he could truly become such a master, he would be invincible.
He also understood that if he truly played such a role, it would undoubtedly bring unparalleled benefits to Lin Xiaotian.
Perhaps he could truly become such a master.
A smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face, and he said dismissively, "Those scums are nothing in front of me."
"Since I said we are making a deal, I will definitely give you enough benefits. And as long as you can play a sufficient role, the benefits I can give you will far exceed your imagination."
"Only after you truly bring me benefits will I let you understand what a true master is."
"I can directly train you into a master countless times stronger than them, making them despair in front of you."
Zhao Jinhai did not doubt these words because he knew very well that if he was not given absolute hope, he might easily be replaced after establishing this information network.
He understood what this information network meant to everyone. Whoever obtained this information would be equivalent to controlling all information sources in the entire city.
One could imagine that any slight disturbance would not escape his eyes, and then how incomparably important he would be.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and patted his shoulder again, "Work hard, and I will never treat you unfairly. Given your busy schedule in the early stages, you must have a good body, so I will give you a medicinal pill."
"This kind of pill can give you enough strength. However, after taking this pill, you might directly become my person."
"After all, to gain something, one must pay."
"Think it over before you answer me. If you are truly willing to work for me, then we will still have a relationship of transaction and cooperation. However, a contract will definitely be added to this transaction and cooperation."
"Ordinary contracts will have no binding power for you and me, because I don't care about money at all. What I care about is whether you will betray me."
"And this shackle will make you feel very uncomfortable, as if your life is in my hands. Consider it carefully before you answer me."
He naturally could not unconditionally trust Zhao Jinhai.
After all, this was someone from the underworld. Even if he behaved well before, he could not be trusted without reservation.
Zhao Jinhai only hesitated for a few seconds, and then a clear look of determination appeared in his eyes. He knew that apart from Lin Xiaotian, no one else could make him stronger. In his eyes, Lin Xiaotian was a lone wolf.
Moreover, the conditions he offered were very generous. He believed that besides Lin Xiaotian, there would be no one more suitable. So far, everything Lin Xiaotian had told him was still about cooperation and transaction.
Besides, he had some understanding of Lin Xiaotian's background and knew his personality. He would definitely not cross the bridge and then tear it down like those people before.
"Mr. Lin, from now on, you are my master. I am willing to lay down my life for you." After speaking, Zhao Jinhai knelt on one knee, representing his absolute submission.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and helped him up, "I know you are an absolutely intelligent person, so I will give you another chance."
"Otherwise, I can easily find someone to replace you, or even find a master. Because some of the medicinal pills I possess are incredibly coveted by them."
"But I think it's better to cultivate a confidant myself."
"After you properly take this medicinal pill, you will know its effects. This is not a matter of consideration."
"This bottle contains the antidote to that shackle, which can only suppress it for about a month. If you cannot obtain the antidote from me to delay the dormancy of the蛊虫 (gu worm) after a month, you will suffer extreme pain."
After speaking, Lin Xiaotian waved his hand, and two medicinal bottles appeared on the table.
He just glanced at Zhao Jinhai and turned to leave.
He did not watch Zhao Jinhai take the medicinal pills because he knew very well that given Zhao Jinhai's character, he would absolutely not play any tricks in this matter.
Truly intelligent people understand trade-offs. To gain something, one must pay. There is no free lunch in the world.
After seeing Lin Xiaotian off, Zhao Jinhai looked at the two medicinal bottles and sat there for about ten minutes. He had made up his mind and directly picked up one of the bottles, casually throwing it into his mouth. His eyes were filled with an extremely determined expression.
He had only one thought: to become stronger.
The events of this evening had brought him too much shock.
"If I had Lin Xiaotian's strength, I would have directly cut down those guys with a single blow when they appeared tonight, and I wouldn't have let my brothers die for me."
"The blood of my brothers will not be shed in vain. Those three scumbags from the so-called Heavenly Net, from now on, the Heavenly Net will be my enemy."
"Your name is Heavenly Net, and from today onwards, I will truly weave a Heavenly Net in this city. Anyone who tries to enter will trigger it. I will never let you appear without a sound."
His eyes were filled with an extremely determined expression. He had already thought it through. He had to show his absolute value, otherwise, Lin Xiaotian might directly have someone replace him, which was a very possible outcome.
If he could not demonstrate his value, what benefit would he be to Lin Xiaotian?
Lin Xiaotian had not actually left. He was watching from not far away as Zhao Jinhai took the medicinal pills before he hooked his lips and left the place.
As Zhao Jinhai was contemplating those matters, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if something was flowing upward with his blood and directly drilling into his heart.
At that moment, he felt a tearing pain. It was at this moment that he understood Lin Xiaotian's words.
He hurriedly took out the other bottle of antidote and took it. He could still clearly feel something churning in his heart, and the pain made his face contort, but he endured it with all his might, not letting out a single cry.
Fortunately, the antidote quickly suppressed the pain.
At this moment, his face still showed lingering fear, "So this is the real shackle?"
