16: Chapter 16 Jiang Jin: What do I want? Your life, of course!
"Send it up? No way!"
Hearing the voice coming from the phone, the Young Master of Sichuan shook his head and said bluntly:
"Those scandals are too far-reaching, and they won't stand up to scrutiny. There's a risk of them implicating me!
Besides, that donkey Mo must be holding some dirt on me as well!
Even though they aren't major issues, if they were exposed, it would be enough to cause a social uproar!"
"Young Master, what should we do then? Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Let it go? Heh... how is that possible!!"
The Young Master of Sichuan ground his teeth and gave a sinister, chilling laugh:
"From childhood to now, there haven't been many who dared to disobey me!
Mo Wudi is the first to dare to directly betray me. I want his whole family to pay the price for his stupidity!!"
"...Young Master, this subordinate knows what to do now!"
"Heh heh, very good—!"
Also, interrogate that donkey Mo to find out the location of the divine object, then take out his entire family!"
"This subordinate obeys!"
The call ended.
The Young Master of Sichuan walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of expensive red wine, licked his scarlet tongue, and sneered coldly:
"No matter what happened, it is not a reason for you to dare to betray me!"
"On this ancient land of the East, anyone who dares to directly oppose me will ultimately face only one end—death without a whole corpse!!"
His insolent laughter echoed through the living room, sending shivers down anyone's spine!
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, an abrupt voice appeared.
"...Who? Who is speaking!!"
"Guards, where are the guards—!!"
The Young Master of Sichuan's laughter came to an abrupt halt. The red wine glass in his hand fell and shattered on the floor uncontrollably as he turned stiffly toward the source of the voice.
He saw a handsome young man walking out from a corner of the living room's shadows.
"Aren't you always looking for me, wanting my life?"
The young man seemed completely unconcerned with his surroundings, pouring himself a glass of red wine and sitting calmly on the sofa embroidered with exquisite patterns.
"Hmm, the wine is not bad, but it feels no different from the vintage wine that costs a dozen yuan on the street."
The young man swirled the red wine glass, took a light sip, shook his head, and commented:
"Maybe I've drunk too much low-quality alcohol for a long time, and I can't taste the beauty of fine wine for the moment?"
The Young Master of Sichuan finally reacted with horror, pointing at the young man with trembling fingers.
"...You, you are that Jiang Jin who snatched my divine object?!"
"What do you mean by snatched your divine object?"
Jiang Jin smashed the wine glass onto the floor with a "crack," looking up at The Rich Young Master with a hint of mockery in his eyes:
"I find that you are not only arrogant but also extremely shameless.
This is far from the Young Master Wang I imagined."
"How on earth did you get in?!"
The Rich Young Master's wine-red hair was a bit messy. Facing Jiang Jin's sudden visit, his first reaction was not anger, but... fear!
This place was his "kingdom castle"!
Front and back, inside and out, there were over a dozen lines of guard defenses!
Not to mention a living person, even if a mosquito wanted to fly in, it would require Young Master Wang's permission!
But reality slapped him hard in the face.
This ant, who was originally supposed to be killed by that traitor Mo Wudi, had appeared alive right before his eyes!
"Could it be that you can use the extraordinary power possessed by that divine object?!"
Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged. The Rich Young Master forgot his fear, and his face flushed with greed instead.
"As long as you hand over the divine object to me, I can agree to any condition you have!!
Beauties, money, status, power...
Even, I can let you reach the sky in a single bound and push you to a high-level position!
You were just a poor student before; isn't that what you studied for?
As long as you hand over the divine object to me, all of this will be yours!"
"It's all yours—!!"
Upon learning that the divine object truly had extraordinary power, The Rich Young Master trembled with excitement, his words becoming somewhat chaotic and manic.
What had he not possessed or enjoyed since he was a child?
Even most of the time, he didn't need to ask personally; countless people would rush to curry favor with him, begging him to accept.
After having too much, worldly things had already made him lose interest!
But now, the divine object naturally became a "potent drug" that stirred his inner heart!
"It seems I have to add one more thing: you are not only shameless but also a lunatic."
Seeing The Rich Young Master's excited and manic state, Jiang Jin shook his head bluntly, as if looking at a moron.
Hand over the Singularity Universe?
What a joke!
This was his reliance for controlling his own destiny and moving towards "immortality"!
And compared to this, everything in reality was simply... insignificant!
Moreover, as the only Transcendent in the real world possessing the Singularity Universe, aren't these worldly things equally within easy reach?
Just like Mo Wudi—big shots who could only be seen on TV before have now become his own "servants," haven't they?
"So, you don't intend to hand it over?"
The Rich Young Master calmed down, his eyes turning extremely gloomy.
Jiang Jin had a certain expression on his face: "Of course."
"...!!"
The Rich Young Master froze for a second. The conditions I offered were so tempting, and you didn't even think about it for a while?
A moment later, when The Rich Young Master saw the figures of the guards fallen outside the door, he immediately understood his situation and said in a somewhat shrill tone:
"Do you know the consequences of breaking in here alone?"
Jiang Jin put on a "kind" look and asked: "What consequences?"
"I am the Young Master of the Wang family. Do you know what kind of behemoth the Wang family is?!"
"I know."
"...Since you know, how dare you come?!"
The Rich Young Master's eyes widened, looking incredulous.
"You don't think that by relying on a little extraordinary power, you can wrestle with the power of a massive Eastern organization, do you?
Are you crazy, or am I crazy?
Do you know how powerful modern technological weapons are?
A single satellite-guided medium-range missile could wipe you out, leaving not even a single strand of hair behind!!"
"So what?"
"...You?!"
The Rich Young Master was stunned. Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?
At this time, shouldn't he be looking for a way out, sitting down to negotiate peace with him?
Jiang Jin sat with his legs crossed, not intimidated by the words of The Rich Young Master, still looking calm.
In fact, given the current scale of the Origin Continent, it really couldn't support him in unleashing too powerful of an extraordinary method.
But there is one thing: if a missile really were to strike, he wouldn't be completely without room to resist.
At the very least, he could expend some World Origin points to open the gate of time and space between the two worlds and transport his Physical Body into the Singularity Universe.
Thus, on an independent space-time scale, even if a nuclear bomb were to strike, he wouldn't be afraid at all.
Furthermore, while the Wang family's power is indeed invincible, wanting to use a missile in a peaceful residential area is simply unrealistic!
Otherwise, even if the Wang family could cover the sky with one hand, it would be difficult to suppress the terrifying consequences caused behind it.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"What do I want? Of course, it is your life—!"
