Chapter 210: Bolt from the Blue
Han Wuyu’s expression instantly froze. For someone in the underworld, hiding oneself was a necessary skill. He originally thought he had minimized his presence to the lowest possible level, but he never expected this person to know he had arrived.
It seemed he was not an ordinary person, so how could he obtain the necklace that controlled the Pearl? And it was from Steven. He had suffered losses at Steven’s hands before. Obtaining this item would require long-term planning. He never expected this person to get it so easily.
As for how he obtained it, Han Wuyu was actually unclear. However, looking at his demeanor and the several valiant guards by his side, he knew this person was truly extraordinary.
“Han Wuyu?” Old Master Ji had definitely researched him before coming. Not to say researched, but he understood him very well.
Han Wuyu was also unfazed. Knowing his name wasn’t strange; what was strange was that since the other party had investigated him, it meant his identity was quite extraordinary, yet he shouldn’t look like this.
This clearly indicated that the other party’s background was immense, far beyond his reach.
“Yes.”
Old Master Ji smiled, “It’s been over ten years since I’ve seen anything new.”
This statement sounded as if he had been imprisoned. Was that the truth?
“May I ask your identity…?”
“My name is… Old Master Ji,” Old Master Ji said. This name successfully stunned Han Wuyu.
For the first time, truly for the first time in his life, Old Master Ji… the founder of the underworld… his name was… Old Master Ji.
“Founder?” Han Wuyu confirmed with some uncertainty. Old Master Ji shrugged.
“I have no evidence, but it is absolutely true.”
Hearing Old Master Ji say this, Han Wuyu’s heart instantly became chaotic. He, who was usually so calm, was somewhat unable to control himself at this moment. The founder of the underworld; without him, the underworld would not exist. And now, he, the owner recognized by the Heart of the King of the underworld, had met this person who had been yearned for, feared, and revered throughout history. How could he not be surprised?
“I believe you.” This person had no reason to lie to him, and his demeanor and the people around him clearly indicated he was extraordinary. Moreover, he trusted his intuition.
Old Master Ji nodded. It was not easy to digest the fact that he was Old Master Ji in such a short time. There were probably not many people who could do so well now.
“Enough with the pleasantries, I am the one who gave you the thing to control the Pearl,” Old Master Ji went straight to the point and also took out a necklace.
Han Wuyu looked at the dazzling necklace, always feeling that some conspiracy was quietly brewing.
“However… to obtain this necklace, I have conditions,” Old Master Ji did not directly hand the necklace to Han Wuyu but placed it in the middle of the table.
If he took it, it would mean he agreed to his conditions; if he didn’t, it would mean he couldn’t get this necklace.
However, if his conditions were too excessive, he would regret it. He would eventually find the item to control the Pearl, so there was no rush.
Furthermore, the other party was the founder of the underworld. The necklace would not only be safe in his hands but also difficult for others to discover.
However, he should try first.
“Tell me.” He would definitely not agree to excessively harsh conditions, which made Old Master Ji look at him with even more admiration.
Being able to rationally analyze his situation, use his utmost effort to gain his advantage, and eliminate things that were disadvantageous to him… it was best to get rid of them.
ps: The updates have been a bit sparse these past few days, please forgive me. It’s mainly because school is too busy.
