Wang Teng gave Di Qi a strange look. This fellow was also quite cheeky!
He made a threat sound so refreshing. What a unique way of doing it.
âDonât look at me like that. I mean what I say. I wonât pressurize you with the Great Qian Empire,â Di Qi explained when he saw everyoneâs expression.
Kloet: â¦
What was the size of the psychological trauma Kloet was experiencing?
He had lost all hope. He couldnât afford to provoke the Great Qian Empire. He didnât believe the silver-haired young man when he said that he wouldnât use the empireâs name to pressure him.
He had heard a rumor in the past. A heaven-stage martial warrior went to chase his enemy, but he escaped to the Great Qian Empire. The enemy gave another heaven-stage martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire a piece of treasure and sought refuge under his wings.
The martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire agreed to his request, but the other heaven-stage martial warrior didnât want to give up.
He decided to challenge the heaven-stage martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire. The result was predictable. The heaven-stage martial warrior was tragically defeated.
It wasnât because the heaven-stage martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire was more powerful. It was because he was a baron, so he activated a troop from the Great Qian Empire and gained the help of two other heaven-stage martial warriors. They won in numbers, forcing the other party to admit defeat. He even had to apologize by offering much of his wealth before his life was spared.
This situation was common in the universe.
In the universe, you needed ability, status, and power. If even one was missing, you would have to lower your head and keep a low profile.
Kloet didnât think that he would meet such an awkward situation when he was just chasing a martial warrior from an underdeveloped planet.
What else could he do? He had to swallow his anger and admit defeat!
He glared at Wang Teng as if he wanted to etch his face in his heart.
He hated him to the bones.
Wang Teng wasnât afraid though. He glared back at him without hiding the killing intent in his eyes.
âOld man, weâre not done yet. Remember what I said,â Wang Teng said.
He didnât have the ability now, so he needed the power of the Great Qian Empire to force his opponent to lower his head. This had nothing to do with his own strength.
But he believed that after some time, he could rely on his own two hands to kill his enemy,
âHmph!â Anger raged in Kloetâs heart. The killing intent in his eyes ran havoc, but he remained silent. After a while, he snorted and left.
His spacecraft was nearby. The cabin door opened, and he stepped in. Then, the spacecraft turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the vast universe.
âTsk, young man, youâre a bold fellow. You dare to threaten a cosmos-stage martial warrior.â Di Qi gave Wang Teng a weird look.
âWeâre already arch enemies. I have nothing to be afraid of,â Wang Teng replied calmly.
âArenât you afraid that he will get desperate and charge over to kill you? I wonât help you again,â Di Qi replied indifferently.
âI have my way of protecting myself. Even if you donât help me, Iâll be able to escape. I can hide and lay low for a while,â Wang Teng said. He that is down needs fear no fall.
âOh?â Di Qi looked at him curiously.
Although he believed Wang Teng, he was curious about where he got his confidence from. However, he didnât probe further. Everyone had secrets. He was just more interested in Wang Teng. He chuckled and said, âCome with me.â
âWhat about my spacecraft?â asked Wang Teng.
âAsk your intelligence to sail it over and park it in the dock for now,â Di Qi replied.
Wang Teng nodded. He connected with Round Ball and asked it to drive the spacecraft over.
âQY-E63! Itâs an antique.â Di Qi was surprised when he saw the spacecraft.
Wang Teng was also astonished. Di Qi recognized the model of this spacecraft. Mind you, it was over a million years old. Who would remember it?
âIâm a spacecraft enthusiast. Are you willing to sell it to me? I can give you a fair price,â Di Qi said suddenly.
Wang Teng: â¦
He didnât know that this was what he was thinking.
âWang Teng, you canât agree.â Round Ball got agitated and started screaming in Wang Tengâs mind.
âDonât worry. Am I a money-lover?â Wang Teng rolled his eyes.
âYou are!â Round Ball said firmly.
Wang Teng: â_â
He ignored Round Ball. To prove his innocence, he turned and said to Di Qi in a righteous tone, âAn elder left this for me. I wonât sell it.â
âI can add money.â Di Qi was straightforward. â30 billion GQC. What do you think?â
âHow much?â Wang Teng suspected that he had heard wrong.
30 billion in GQC?
How much money was that?
If Di Qi wasnât beside him, he would raise his fingers to count. The sum was so huge that he couldnât calculate it mentally.
He remembered that the materials needed to make this QY-E63 spacecraft cost 7.6 billion GQC. Thus, this spacecraft should be worth 30 billion, right?
He was wrong.
Round Ball couldnât remain calm anymore. It shouted, âWhat? Heâs willing to fork out 30 billion GQC?â
âIs 30 billion a lot?â Wang Teng was puzzled.
âWhat do you know? This spacecraft is at most worth 20 billion. I didnât think that this Di Qi is willing to spend 30 billion GQC on it. Oh my god, heâs an idiot!â Round Ballâs eyes lit up.
âAre you saying that we should sell it?â Wang Teng confirmed with uncertainty.
Who was the one who didnât want to sell it at first? Why did you change your mind? Can you be firmer?
Round Ball: (ã¼` Ìã¼)
âSo, shall we sell it?â Wang Teng teased.
âCoughâ¦â Round Ball coughed awkwardly. It sounded a little embarrassed as it said, âWhy donâtâ¦â
âYou seem to be hesitating. Forget it. I donât like to snatch from others.â Di Qi thought that Wang Teng didnât plan to sell it since he had remained silent for a long time. He shook his head in pity.
Round Ball: â¦
Wang Teng: â¦
âNot bad, youâre able to resist the temptation of 30 billion GQC,â Di Qi complimented Wang Teng.
âMy elder left it for me, so I canât sell it for money,â Wang Teng said in a serious tone.
âYou have your principles. Not bad. If you had sold it for 30 billion, I might have looked down on you.â Di Qi patted Wang Tengâs shoulder and asked, âYour elder is the one who asked you to bring this baron token to the Great Qian Empire, right?â
âYes.â Wang Teng nodded.
âWhatâs this elderâs name?â Di Qi asked.
âCan I tell him?â Wang Teng asked in his heart.
âYes,â Round Ball replied.
âNangong Yue.â Wang Teng told Di Qi the name.
âHim! I remember that he went to catch an escaped convict a million years ago and never came back. The spiritual flame left in the Empireâs Baron Tower was extinguished. It looks like he has died!â Di Qi exclaimed in surprise.
