674 Death is Coming
Chen Xiaobei: Price increased? What do you mean by that? Last time, you allow me to use a packet of spicy sticks in exchange for a piece of God Eyes Talisman.
Qianli Yan: This… Considering that we are good friend, I'm going to tell you something. This is actually Jiang Ziya's doing. He told us that if you try to ask for magical item from us, you need to pay us a certain amount of merit points! No more barter system!
"What the f*ck! Damn the old man! How can he set such a rule?"
Clearly, Chen Xiaobei was not happy. Initially, he could just buy a packet of spicy sticks to get the item that he wanted; now, he was forced to pay with merit points. However, this change in policy did not surprise Chen Xiaobei. During the last Red Envelope snatching session, with the support from Lady Nuwo, Chen Xiaobei managed to land a few slaps on the Primeval Lord of Heaven's face. It was no wonder that he wanted to make Chen Xiaobei pay for what he did to him.
Jiang Ziya was after all the spokesperson of the Primeval Lord of Heaven. Almost every deity in heaven had to obey his order.
"Hmph! I will definitely stick to the rule if the rule was set under normal circumstances! Clearly, Jiang Ziya is trying to use despicable methods to keep me down! I will definitely not succumb to it!"
Chen Xiaobei harrumphed. Right now, Chen Xiaobei had 930,000 merit points with him. He could be consider extremely rich among the deities. However, it was not about the merit points. No matter what, Chen Xiaobei would not pay the merit points because Jiang Ziya had managed to anger him.
Chen Xiaobei: Brother! We have known each other for quite a long time! Rules are not alive but we are! Let's keep this between me and you! No one else has to know about it! What do you say?
Qianli Yan: I… I don't think this is appropriate… I will be punished if someone finds out about it…
Chen Xiaobei: Don't worry! No one will find out about it! I can give you three packets of spicy sticks for it! Or, do you have other requests? I will try my best to fulfil them!
Qianli Yan: You are asking me to do something illegal!
Chen Xiaobei: Really! You don't have to worry about it! I think you should know that Jiang Ziya is my sworn enemy, right? Do you really think I will betray you?
Qianli Yan: Right… Alright. I can send you a piece of God Eyes Talisman. However, I don't want any spicy sticks. I want spicy mini lobsters!
Chen Xiaobei: No problem! I will send you a portion of it tonight! I will make sure all the mini lobsters that I send to you are juicy and yummy!
Qianli Yan: Deal! Get ready to receive the item!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much! Let me get back to my business first! Talk to you later!
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Qianli Yan! You have received a piece of God Eyes Talisman! It has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
"Hmph! Primeval my ass! Jiang Ziya! Another face slapping moment for you guys! Come at me with your ridiculous policy! I'm going to beat all of them down with my great mind! In the end, I didn't have to spend a single merit point to acquire the God Eyes Talisman! In your face!"
With a grin on his face, Chen Xiaobei withdrew the God Eyes Talisman without hesitation. Upon linking himself to the talisman, it was set on fire. After that, the talisman started to work like a radar to look for the person that Chen Xiaobei was searching for.
....
At Azure Spa Resort.
At this luxurious private resort, only registered members that paid annually were allowed to step foot into this place and enjoy their natural hot spring and spa. There were a total of thirteen well-designed and decorated hot springs in the resort. All the eligible members of the resort could use them whenever they want. Inside this natural hot spring, there was actually one more hidden hot spring. Its design and decoration were far more luxurious than all the other thirteen hot spring. Normally, this hot spring was reserved for VVIP by the owner of this resort.
"Boss Shi, it's done!"
A middle-aged looking man had just finished talking on his phone while soaking in the hot spring. He then put his cell phone aside. Immediately, a model-like woman took the cell phone from him. After that, another voluptuous woman handed him a glass of red wine.
"Boss Zhang, so much manners! You can just call me Little Shi!"
In the hot spring, there was another fatty. With a grin on his face, he said, "Thank you so much for helping me in this matter! Finally, my biggest threat is gone! From today onwards, you are my biggest benefactor!"
"I'm doing this, not just for you. I'm doing this for my godson, Zhang Zhongji too! As long as I'm still working in the State Administration of Radio and Television, I will never allow anyone to bully him!"
This Boss Zhang was none other than the director of the State Administration of Radio and Television, Zhang Yongjian. He was the one that had Zhang Zhongji's back! From the surface, he called Zhang Zhongji his godson. According to rumors, Zhang Zhongji was actually his illegitimate child! No one can tell whether it was fake or real news. All they knew was Zhang Yongjian was very protective of his godson. Whenever Zhang Zhongji faced any problems in the entertainment industry, he would definitely take care of them for him personally!
"Everyone knows that you love your godson a lot! With you being here, Zhongji will definitely have a bright future! A bastard like Chen Xiaobei will be crushed to dust since he is in your way! In front of you, he doesn't even have the chance to strike back!"
"Hmph! Initially, I hesitated when you told me that you wanted to kill him with explosives because I really don't want to kill anyone! Now that I know that he just injured my Zhongji badly, I'm glad that he is dead!"
"That's right! That bastard is an abomination! Should I ask someone to retrieve his body, chop into pieces and feed them to dogs?"
Clearly, the hatred that Shi Haoxiang had towards Chen Xiaobei was far deeper than Zhang Yongjian. Clearly, Shi Haoxiang was the one that came up with this plan to kill Chen Xiaobei and Zhang Yongjian was supporting him every step of the way!
"Chop him into pieces and feed them to dogs? Little Shi! You are so cruel! But… I like it! Do whatever you want to do! I want that son of a bitch to be buried in the stomach of dogs!"
"Okay! I will ask someone to retrieve his body secretly!"
Shi Haoxiang then moved his finger to indicate the woman beside him to pass him his cellphone.
"That is really troublesome…"
Suddenly, they heard a calm voice.
"I'm already here. How do you guys want to do this? Let's play this game together!"
It was Chen Xiaobei striding towards them in a relaxed manner.
"You… Are you ghost or human?"
Shi Haoxiang and Zhang Yongjian were taken aback. Earlier, they were informed that Chen Xioabei was already dead. That was why they thought they were seeing ghost lurking around them.
"I'm not human nor ghost!"
Walking by the poolside, Chen Xiaobei looked at them from the top and said, "I'm death! I'm here to collect your souls!"
"Si…"
Immediately, Shi Haoxiang and Zhang Yongjian took in a deep breath.
"Security! Where is security?! Come and help us!"
"Stop shouting! It's pointless! Those who tried to stop me are lying on the ground now! Those who did not dare to stop left this place long time ago! There is only one option left for the two of you! You killed someone! Now, you have to pay with your lives!"
