Chapter 20: I Choose Zero-yuan Purchase
Jiang Shan’s voice suddenly appeared in the secret room.
He originally thought he would need to use some methods to get Paul to open the secret room, but he didn’t expect this well-dressed man’s cerebellum to control his brain; he was still enjoying himself even in the Ghost Domain.
“Thank God!” Jiang Shan thought.
The sudden voice made the two people in the room instantly tense.
Mary, a hunter of Ghost Wielders, reacted immediately.
This gray fog-like Ghost Domain didn’t originate from a Fierce Ghost, but from the man who suddenly appeared beside Paul.
“Fuck! My gun!”
Mary’s face changed drastically, because she had agreed to do some unspeakable things with Paul tonight, so she had put all her specialized weapons downstairs early.
“Fuck! Fuck!” Mary cursed in her heart.
“Stop looking, your gun is here.”
From the blonde woman’s expression, Jiang Shan knew her thoughts with just one glance.
“After all, ‘foreign friends’ like you can’t hide anything on your faces; the intention to find a gun is too obvious.”
Saying that, a pistol with a dazzling golden appearance, clearly a specialized weapon, materialized in Jiang Shan’s hand.
Then he pointed the golden gun at Paul and said:
“Don’t move, move and I’ll break a leg, I’ll break the shortest one.”
“?”
Jiang Shan looked at Paul, who was being pointed at by the gun, with doubt.
The foreign man was completely calm, leaning against the door with a smile, as if nothing had happened, looking at Jiang Shan.
“Seriously buddy, are you an NPC? Why are you so calm?”
Paul was indeed not panicking at all. He knew Jiang Shan’s arrival must have a purpose, and pointing a gun at him now was just to extort more chips from him.
This was inconsequential to him.
He had money and power, he could satisfy any request, and he had plenty of experience dealing with this kind of Ghost Wielder.
Most importantly, he was sure that whatever Jiang Shan took from him, he would make him spit it back out.
And he would demand his life as interest.
So Paul calmly took a sip of wine and, using his proud eloquence, looked at Jiang Shan and said:
“Eastern friend, your country has a good saying: ‘Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?’ Since you are here, you are my friend Paul. If you want money, just tell me, and I’ll give you plenty of it. There’s no need for violence.”
Jiang Shan looked at the blonde man drinking wine with suspicion. He hadn’t expected this man to know this trick.
His Chinese wasn’t great, but he was quite adept at using idioms and passages from The Analects.
Paul, observing Jiang Shan’s expression closely, became even more composed. He felt that his words had swayed the other party.
He opened the wine cabinet, took out a wine glass, poured some red wine, and slowly walked towards Jiang Shan, saying:
“Would you like a glass of rich wine, my friend? Top-tier dry red from the Burgundy Manor. This small sip is worth fifty thousand US dollars.”
“Mary, go to my drawer and get that record. It’s the one for entertaining distinguished guests. Let my friend here appreciate the beautiful music of Western Europe.”
However, upon hearing Paul’s request, the blonde woman stood frozen, as if she hadn’t heard him.
“Mary! Why aren’t you going yet?! What are you thinking about?!” Paul roared at the woman in anger.
But Mary couldn’t move either. No matter how she tried, she found herself completely immobile.
She couldn’t even speak.
She felt like her entire body had been invaded by a ghost. Except for her eyes, she had lost all control of her body.
“It’s just the missionary’s voice, isn’t it? Stop pretending. It’s time for you to go, my little brother from Western Europe,” Jiang Shan said calmly.
But these words struck Paul like a thunderclap.
Before he could even speak, he heard Jiang Shan’s voice continue:
“Sorry, I don’t eat beef, I don’t listen to music, and I don’t drink wine!”
“Bang! Bang!”
With two gunshots, Jiang Shan realized he hadn’t hit anything. He fell silent.
Before Paul could even rejoice,
In an instant, his body was covered in scarlet ghost characters, and the killing pattern that guarantees death upon contact activated on him and Mary.
In a flash, their bodies became rigid, their eyes lost their color, and they fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
“Next time, aim for Ye Jun’s head. It’ll definitely be a headshot.”
Jiang Shan silently reminded himself, then walked into the secret room.
What was called a secret room was actually a vault, about fifty square meters, so resplendent it almost blinded Jiang Shan.
“There are jade beauties in books, and Paul truly has a house of gold.”
Jiang Shan reached out to touch it, feeling that the texture seemed wrong. With a firm press, he realized the surroundings weren’t gold at all, but a layer of relatively thick gold leaf.
“Sigh.”
Jiang Shan let out a long sigh, standing in place speechless.
Apart from the three gold boxes placed in the corner, he wouldn’t be able to get any other windfalls.
Oh well, being too greedy isn’t a good thing.
Jiang Shan, who was scraping the gold leaf, suddenly froze. He suddenly realized:
Why was his will so weak now? To be blinded by such a small amount of external wealth?
Half an hour later.
Jiang Shan, who had scraped a whole bag of gold leaf, began to count his harvest for the day:
“Thirty-seven guns, one hundred and twenty-eight kilograms of gold, a bag of gold leaf, and three gold boxes containing fierce ghosts.”
Three ghosts, enough for me to make a transaction with the Ghost Cabinet.
Thinking this,
Jiang Shan used his Ghost Domain to place all his gains onto his SUV, and to avoid attention, he specifically covered the three boxes with black cloth.
As Jiang Shan got back into the car, the Ghost Domain began to shrink rapidly.
In a short while, the gray fog had shrunk to just envelop the car. Seeing that it was about right, Jiang Shan slammed on the accelerator, and the car’s engine roared to life.
The SUV began to drive on the road at a weird speed.
Zhao Kaiming, who arrived late, only saw the car enveloped by the Ghost Domain. He frowned, lost in thought.
Seven thirty in the morning.
Jiang Shan, still immersed in his dream, was suddenly woken by a rapid phone call. He picked up the phone and saw it was Yan Li calling him.
“Is he about to die?” This was Jiang Shan’s first thought.
But he quickly dismissed the idea. Yesterday, Yan Li was full of life at the club, and he hadn’t yet been involved in the conflict between Yang Jian and Zhao Kaiming.
He didn’t even know Yang Jian yet. It seemed Yan Li was calling him for something else.
So Jiang Shan answered the call, and Yan Li’s voice came from the mobile phone:
“Jiang Shan, I’m going to catch a ghost tonight. I’m worried something might happen to me, so I’m calling you in advance. If I feel like I’m about to die, I’ll call you. Don’t turn off your phone tonight. The address is Furen Shopping Mall.”
“OK, if you’re not going to make it, call me. Maybe I can collect your whole body if I go.” Jiang Shan said.
Yan Li on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, said thank you, and hung up.
“It’s finally time for Yang Jian to detain the Headless Ghost Shadow,” Jiang Shan thought to himself. He looked through the window towards a place in the city’s suburbs.
“Guanjiang Residential Area, I should go take a look.”
