211: Chapter 210 You're Not Honest!
"Sending a request after only half a day, did something go wrong?"
After a brief moment of thought, he set the meeting coordinates at a small island in the southern part of the Divine Kingdom.
This small island was temporarily piled up by him, consisting of just a few bare large reefs, far away from the volcanoes and herb gardens in the core area. It was most suitable for receiving such an unknown outsider whose background was unclear.
With a thought, Gu Han casually flipped out a gas mask and clapped it onto his face.
Spatial ripples appeared above the small island.
Cui Yuan nervously jumped out from the channel, just wanting to strike up a friendly conversation, but the words stuck in his throat.
The scene before him made him swallow back all his flattering words.
On the distant skyline, rows of indescribably thick black giant pillars pierced straight into the clouds, and their branches and leaves covered the sky like huge canopy umbrellas.
Sunlight could only squeeze a few wisps through the gaps of the leaves, spilling onto the sea surface.
The air was not stuffy at all; instead, it carried a rich Spiritual Qi that made one's pores relax.
Looking higher up, many huge black objects were faintly cruising slowly in the clouds, occasionally emitting dull low roars.
Cui Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His brother Cui Shi was clearly so strong, yet his Divine Kingdom was breached overnight. Turns out he had provoked a monster of this level, and his heart couldn't help but become even more stirred.
"Have you seen enough?"
A deep voice sounded from behind.
Cui Yuan shivered violently, quickly turned around, and buried his head extremely low.
"Greetings, Lord... Main God!" He rubbed his hands nervously, "I've done the errand you assigned, but... a little trouble came up."
Gu Han crossed his arms, sizing him up through the goggles of the gas mask.
"Done in just half a day? What trouble, let me hear it."
Cui Yuan felt alarm bells ringing loudly in his heart. Although the other party's tone was plain, he always felt it was life-threatening, so he quickly began to explain.
"It's like this, the guy I used to test the goods with has wild connections and happens to know Commander Ang Tai's exclusive chef. After looking at the goods, that chef was amazed beyond belief and immediately made a decision to buy them all out at a high price."
"As a result, just as we were preparing to find a place to trade, we ran into a street firefight between the men of Commander Ang Tai and Bang Xiao!"
"I was hiding behind a trash can at the time, and inexplicably got captured back by Commander Ang Tai's men."
Speaking of this, Cui Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
Gu Han didn't interrupt, signaling him to continue.
"Originally I thought I was dead for sure this time. But the news of my brother Cui Shi being destroyed somehow spread all over the Dao. He is a notoriously ruthless character in the circle. Commander Ang Tai's people checked my background and found out I am his younger brother."
"They initially thought my brother died in a dog-eat-dog fight, and interrogated me about where that batch of Advanced goods came from. I insisted it was picked up. Later, several of their bosses put their heads together and figured my brother must have offended some expert. Connecting it to the batch of modified goods in my hands, they concluded that I was able to survive alone because I was kept behind to work for the expert."
Cui Yuan secretly raised his eyes to observe Gu Han's reaction.
"So, they didn't dare touch me, intending to leave me a way out. They wanted to use my mouth to lure you out, the 'person behind the scenes'. I am currently imprisoned by them, and I finally found an opportunity to contact you using the contract. Main God, what should I do?"
After listening, Gu Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
Cui Yuan's experience over the past half day was truly full of twists and turns. Because of Cui Shi's death news, he actually picked up his life, and finally even the vest of the 'expert behind the scenes' was imagined out by this group of people.
This Cui Yuan really had a great life; he truly lived up to having Great Fortune added to him.
However, this was also a good thing. Anyway, the goods had already been distributed. Since the opposite side had determined there was a person behind the scenes, they temporarily wouldn't suspect him and Tang Wuying.
Moreover, having witnessed the value of that batch of modified goods, driven by profits, they would definitely find a way to cultivate them in large quantities themselves. As long as the profit was astonishing enough, risk was not worth mentioning in the eyes of those desperate villains.
As for Cui Yuan's life or death, Gu Han didn't care at all.
There was too much mysteriousness about this person. If he survived by Luck, he would keep him to continue acting as a tool person. If he really died, he would just pretend nothing happened.
"Since you've been imprisoned, then you can improvise on your own." Gu Han's tone was casual.
"Ah?" Cui Yuan was dumbfounded.
"Isn't your skill called Great Fortune? Turning bad Luck into good Luck shouldn't be too hard for you." Gu Han sneered, "That batch of goods of mine is gone because of you, and the money is gone too. Keeping you is really of no use to me anymore."
Mainly because this skill of his couldn't be verified, Gu Han always felt something was wrong, but every time his thoughts were somewhat chaotic.
Cui Yuan's eyes were full of shock, and he anxiously waved his hands repeatedly.
"I'm useful! Boss, I am definitely useful!"
Fearing that Gu Han would unilaterally cut off the contract connection, he said hurriedly, "Not only did they not torture me, they even gave me Divine Source! They want me to invite you to come out of seclusion. As long as you are willing to show your face, they promise..."
"You are not being honest." Gu Han directly interrupted his words. "You were given benefits, but you didn't mention it first when you opened your mouth? Take out the Divine Source."
Cui Yuan originally wanted to use the Divine Source as a trump card to save his life. If Gu Han really refused to save him, he would take it out to buy his life. He didn't expect it to be used anyway.
In less than a minute, Cui Yuan's heart beat like a drum. The person in front of him had raised the thought of killing him several times.
This Lin Bei was ten thousand times more terrifying than his brother Cui Shi! Suspicious, ruthless, completely not playing by the rules!
"I'll take it out! I'll take it out right now!"
Cui Yuan tremblingly felt for a loading card from his bosom, holding it up with both hands and handing it in front of Gu Han.
Gu Han took a look; inside was a 3,000-square-meter piece of Divine Source.
But Gu Han didn't put the card into his own pocket, instead returning it to him.
Gu Han was always half-skeptical of Cui Yuan, because he felt that Great Fortune shouldn't be like this, everything was too strange, but in Cui Shi's Divine Kingdom, there were indeed many treasures.
But if Luck could really bring good fortune to Cui Shi, why did Cui Shi fall into his hands, and if this Cui Yuan had Great Fortune, why did he still fall into his hands?
Was he really a Child of Luck? Or was there another plot?
Seeing that Gu Han didn't accept the Divine Source and instead fell into silence, Cui Yuan was stunned.
What kind of monster was he anyway? Impervious to reason.
Cui Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, struggling to squeeze out a smile, thinking that the Great Fortune skill had never harmed him all along.
Originally intending to let Cui Yuan fend for himself from then on, Gu Han suddenly came up with a bold idea in his mind at this moment: to take him along to take a trip to the Cataclysm Realm.
