Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1036: Transaction
Gift hunters are a group of legendary people who possess mysterious and unpredictable abilities and are often on the edge of life and death to chase their prey. The evil races in the world are their target, including Bloodkin, half-human, zombie, and beast.
The killings were just a basic means of making a living for these people. Only by killing their prey can they sell it on the black market and get the things they want. The only code of the Bounty Hunters was that they were not allowed to kill the average person.
“What will we do now, Mister?” The slender middle-aged woman wearing sunglasses asked in a low voice.
“Heh, I once had a dispute with a Chinese-enabled user. They are just a bunch of weak people. “The old man snorted. “We will ignore them if they do not disturb us when capturing our prey. But if they get in our way, kill them mercilessly! ”
“But this is a region of China, Master,” said the middle-aged woman in a low voice. “I'm afraid we'll attract quite a lot of trouble if we hurriedly kill their people. We may be lions, but the bite of a pack of wolves is unbearable. ”
The old man pondered for a moment before nodding. “You're right. But my wounds have not healed yet, and continuing to chase two half-ghosts will affect my healing rate. All right, find the people watching us. Tell them I want to meet their leader. ”
The middle-aged woman replied. But just as he was about to leave the cabin of the fishing boat, the old man's face suddenly changed and he floated out, appearing on the deck of the fishing boat.
“They came.”
A serious expression was thrown at his face. He considered himself to be extremely strong, but that was only against some weak ability users from the China Special Ability Bureau. However, he did not dare to guarantee that he could win over this bureau director — the powerful Duanmu Lin. More than that, he has not recovered from his wounds.
After half a minute, Duanmu Lin came to the beach with over ten ability users from the Special Ability Bureau. Tang Xiu stood beside her with his arms crossed behind, staring at the old man. He learned from Duanmu Lin on their way here the true identity of these three people. They are the Bounty Hunters.
“We meet again, old man!”
A faint and faint smile appeared on his face, Duanmu Lin greeted.
“I never thought you were still alive after our last meeting a few years ago, Duanmu Lin.” The old man furrowed his brows and said, “Are those around you an ability user from the China Special Ability Bureau? They look like shit! ”
“How can I die if you yourself do not die, grandfather?” Duanmu Lin smilingly said, “They are indeed users of abilities from my Bureau, but do I need your comment or something? Well, the two brats you saved the other day have become this old now, huh? Looks like they got your inheritance, too, right? What about the contest between my trash men and yours? ”
“I know this place is the territory of your country, Duanmu Lin. But Bounty Hunters like us are not limited to any international agreement. We can appear anywhere when hunting all the deviations and different races, ” said the old man indifferently. “More, I didn't come here to be your birom enemy, but to chase after those terrible sinful prey.”
“You're right. I don't mean that I don't welcome you to China. “Muan Lin nodded and said,” It's just that your prey this time is related to a major incident in China, so I hope you can stop and let us clear our own page. ”
“Heh, do you think that's possible?” The old man coldly replied, “We killed a dozen and a half ghosts overseas just to clarify our prey info here and I was injured in the process. You tell me why, should we give up after working hard for a few months, huh? ”
Duanmu Lin was silent. He was well aware of the code and morality of the Pay Hunters. The old man before him was even more paranoid and he would ignore the extreme danger if he would successfully nail his prey.
“How much for those two and a half ghosts, then?” Tang Xiu stepped forward half a step, looked at the old man and asked. “We can cooperate if the price is cheap enough.”
The old man furrowed his brows and a mocking look appeared on his face. “I don't think someone from your Special Ability Bureau will become this unruly, Duanmu Lin. Since when can the subordinates make decisions for you, huh? Are you likely to retire soon and give your position to this brat? ”
Duanmu Lin turned to look at Tang Xiu, shook his head and said with a smile, “Old Brother Zhong, if this child wants to take over the position of director of my bureau, then, I would not hesitate to give it to him at once. I don't mind being a little soldier under his command. ”
“What did you say?”
The old man's face changed and he looked at Duanmu Lin and Tang Xiu with a look of disbelief. He knows the personality of Duanmu Lin — a man so loyal that he dedicates everything to his country and cares deeply about the position of director of the Special Ability Bureau. How could he be so willing to let her go now?
A smile crept on Tang Xiu's face as he smiled lightly and said, “I'm not interested in becoming the Director of the Special Ability Bureau. There is no need to sow dissent, Senior Zhong. Just tell me what the price is for half a ghost on the black market. ”
The old man stared intently at Tang Xiu and reached out a finger. “10 million dollars.”
Tang Xiu gave her an OK sign and smiled lightly. “Rather than killing himself half that ghost and then selling it on the black market, I think it's better to sell it to us, right? Of course, we can still help you find those two and a half ghosts and you can even join us in killing them. ”
“Tang Xiu,” Tang Xiu replied with a smile.
“You're fine, son. This old man likes a young talent like you, ” said the old man with a nod. “Good. I agree with the deal, but I want you to wait for me to recover. ”
Tang Xiu flipped his hand and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. Looking at him, he said, “Senior Zhong, a Pay Hunters like you do business with sword and blood, right? Injuries, more than serious ones, should affect you greatly, right? I've got some medicinal pills here and I'd like you to see if they're useful to you. We can discuss the price! ”
“Pil medicine? Like in a healing pill? ”The old man said with a strange face. “Aren't you a user of abilities, or are you an oriental cultivator of — who can make medicinal pills?”
Tang Xiu did not try to hide it and smilingly said, “That's right. I am a cultivator who can refine medicinal pills. Are you interested in this transaction? ”
“I have to check first,” said the old man. “If the efficacy of the medicinal pill you are refining is really great, I will buy it. But if the effect is negligible, forget to mention it again. ”
Tang Xiu opened the jade bottle and sucked the Sacred Healing Pill from within. He immediately flicked it and instantly floated in front of the old man's face. Then, he said with a smile, This “Holy Healing Pill is valued at 20 million USD. If you want to try it and the efficacy is good, you have to pay me 20 million dollars. But I wouldn't take a dime if the effect wasn't good. ”
“Didn't the price of your request just squeeze me?” Shouted the old man. “20 million dollars? Why not rob me? ”
The smile on Tang Xiu's face receded and was replaced by a hint of indifference. “If you are severely injured during a fight and it affects your combat effectiveness, you can hope to meet your destruction. But taking the Sacred Healing Pill that I refined will heal you quickly and is the same as having half a life. Tell me more importantly, 20 million dollars or half a life? ”
“It..”.
The old man could not reply. No matter how much money one had, it was useless if one were to die! However, the 20 million dollar pill was too expensive! He might be rich, but buying a dozen Sacred Healing pills and being tricked like that would still put him under pressure.
“Well, the call is yours,” said Tang Xiu. “You decide whether you will accept the deal.”
The old man felt his internal injuries and looked at the pill floating before his eyes. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally compromised and grabbed the pill, tore the wax paper and swallowed it straight away.
“Be careful with poison, Mister!” The blond man hurriedly called out with a change in his skin.
“I'll be alert and worried about it if it's someone else.” The old man shook his head and said, “But I can feel calm if he is Duanmu Lin.” man
A smile was on the corner of Duanmu Lin's mouth. With a pale smile, he cupped his fists and said, “I never thought a sharp-tongued person like you could say such warm words, Old Zhong. It is very rare coming from you! Yes, I know Tang Xiu's character. He's not gonna hurt you. ”
Tang Xiu did not speak, but Duanmu Lin was right. After knowing the whereabouts of the Bounty Hunters, he wouldn't hurt such a professional old man. Bounty Hunters might rely on assassinations to make a living, but all of their targets were deviants and different races. But they also never easily killed different races who did not do evil deeds when they met them as well.
In other words, most bounty hunters can be considered good people.
After the old man took the Sacred Healing Pill, he felt the heat coming out of the pill. It flowed into his chest through his throat and then poured into his stomach. In the end, the great medicinal properties spread and spread to his limbs and five internal organs.
“Hah?”
The old man's skin shifted and he immediately sat down cross-legged.
Duanmu Lin glanced at Tang Xiu and said with a smile, “I never knew that you could refine a medicinal pill before this. I think 20 million dollars is an effective price for your Sacred Healing Pill, Tang Xiu. How many of them do you have? I want to buy it too. ”
Tang Xiu thought for a while and sent her a reply, “I can sell 100 pills for 10 million dollars every year. That is ... the limit of the Sacred Healing pills I can produce. ”
Duanmu Lin raised his thumb and praised. “You really deserve to be one of our people. That's a great special offer. The deal will be as you say. The Special Ability Bureau will purchase 100 Sacred Healing Pills from you every year. ”
