Fred’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Add another two million..." After finishing his statement, Fred added two more words, "US dollars..."
The two million US dollars, when converted to Huaxia’s currency, amounts to more than ten million.
This was the biggest concession Fred could make.
Seeing Fred say this.
Xu Zhaopei frowned and said, "Fred, what do you mean? We are just ordinary colleagues, please don’t do this."
But Fang Yu raised his hand, interrupting Xu Zhaopei’s words, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Fred is truly generous... However, two million US dollars, it’s still not enough. You may not know... Peipei and I had already committed to marriage when we were in Jiangzhou, and her grandfather, Xu Liu, also promised his granddaughter to me on the spot. According to our Huaxia customs, this is called a verbal marriage agreement, which requires keeping a promise. Asking me to break the marriage agreement would put me in a position of dishonor; moreover, with the relationship between Peipei and me, how could you comprehend it? If we were to separate, we would undoubtedly be distraught to the point of wanting to hang ourselves... Adding all these together, you need to give me at least ten million US dollars."
Slap!
Fred slammed the wine glass on the table.
"Enough."
The whole room fell silent.
Even his three friends shuddered, seemingly very afraid of seeing Fred get angry.
Fred’s expression turned solemn.
His gaze also turned sharp.
He slowly turned around, facing Fang Yu and Xu Zhaopei, and said, "Let’s stop here..."
Fang Yu remained unfazed and said, "Stop here? I haven’t had enough yet, I’ve only drunk two glasses of wine... If you’re done eating, then go rest, Peipei and I will have another two drinks."
Xu Zhaopei also felt that Fang Yu’s behavior was starting to be abnormal.
At this time.
Fred stood up.
He raised his right hand, which made a slight snapping sound with his fingers.
Swoosh...
All the curtains around them were pulled up.
The originally bright room instantly became extremely dim, without a trace of light.
The curtains were all black.
After being sealed off, it was almost completely dark.
Click.
The lights came back on.
Fang Yu sat upright, crossing his legs, and grasped Xu Zhaopei’s hand with a large grip, whispering, "Don’t be afraid... I’m here."
The moment his hand touched Xu Zhaopei’s, she involuntarily shivered, recalling when Fang Yu had held her like this before. A sudden sense of security emerged.
As expected—
When the lights came on.
Xu Zhaopei noticed that there was a significant change in Fred’s aura, his eyes took on a strange color, as if they emitted a red glow, and his teeth and hair had grown a little longer. Although the change wasn’t major, these subtle shifts were enough to completely alter the man’s temperament.
Fred became gloomy and eerie.
Like a Hell Messenger.
Xu Zhaopei was suddenly startled and involuntarily moved closer to Fang Yu, hugging his arm and asking in a low voice, "What’s happening?"
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, patted her hand, and said, "You’ll know in a moment."
Seeing their close interaction.
This deeply irritated Fred.
All the previous restraint vanished in this instant.
"Young man, I’ve given you many chances, and it’s you who don’t know how to appreciate them."
The Caucasian man behind him chuckled, "Exactly, Fred, this pig from the East has no idea what’s coming. I’ve said it before, no need to waste words with him."
The blonde woman also shook her head, "Such a waste of a fine skin... Fred, just do it. The organization has long felt you dawdle too much, wasting a lot of time that shouldn’t be wasted. Such a woman is not worth investing your time and energy in. Even if... we possess an endless life..."
Endless life?
Xu Zhaopei was shocked.
Although she had joined the Kunlun Sect and had learned quite a bit about cultivators, even starting to engage in cultivation... she had never heard of any cultivator possessing an endless life.
Fred nodded gently.
Looking at Xu Zhaopei, he said, "Your friend has lost the best opportunity, but I am still willing to give Miss Xu a chance. If you stand by my side... from now on, you and I will have endless life, wealth, and status..."
Upon hearing this,
Fang Yu cursed loudly, "Pah! Endless life and wealth... I’ve calculated it already, you don’t have much longer to live, and as for wealth, that’s even more of a joke. Getting hung up over just two million US dollars, and you still dare to claim your wealth is endless?"
Fred smiled slightly.
He seemed unperturbed by Fang Yu’s words and started to laugh, "Eastern people... you have a saying that goes ’a frog in a well’... Eastern Martial Artists? In front of me, they’re nothing more than ants."
After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Jack, you take care of this kid."
The white man named Jack chuckled, saying, "Very well!"
He stood up, cracking his knuckles and warming up his fists and muscles with audible pops.
The figure flashed...
Whoosh!
Like a gust of wind.
This was a special ability inherent to vampires.
Speed far beyond normal humans.
He had already thought of a way to deal with Fang Yu...
Xu Zhaopei cried out in alarm when she saw the shadowy figure, widened her eyes, and covered her mouth with her hands.
She looked at the white man Jack, her face filled with disbelief.
However...
Bang!
Centered around Fang Yu.
A ripple spread out.
The white man Jack was instantly sent flying by the Gang Qi.
With a loud crash, he smashed a human-shaped hole in the wall!
How does speed matter.
The Gang Qi passport is a 360-degree all-around defense!
For a moment, silence fell upon the entire scene.
Fang Yu remained seated, legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine, and took a light sip.
Fred was left staring in utter disbelief at Fang Yu.
In the midst of the ruins.
The white man Jack climbed up, also full of surprise.
As for Xu Zhaopei, she was even more amazed... She still had no idea what had happened!
Fred’s brows furrowed deeply as he said, "Who exactly are you?"
"I come from Huaxia! My name is Fang Yu... Fred, I’ll also give you an opportunity. Take me to see your Curse Root. Otherwise... your life will end today."
Upon hearing this.
Fred was shocked and said, "Eastern Cultivator? No wonder... no wonder... I failed to see that you’re a cultivator! If you’ve come to seek death yourself, then don’t blame me! Jack, don’t be afraid... Eastern Cultivators are no longer as powerful as they once were, they can’t kill you!"
"Come at me again!"
Jack roared.
His eyes bloodshot.
His fangs were bared as well.
Seeing his face, Xu Zhaopei was stunned... This was not human, this was not human at all!
