Chapter 206 Cooperation, the voice in Shen Gongyu's mind
"I was just saying it casually; their lives and deaths are none of my business anyway."
Jiang Yuan spoke casually, his gaze shifting away from the list of people.
Justice? Compassion?
What is that?
He wasn't from Japan, and he had no affection for the country whatsoever; he had simply fallen here by chance. Even if the country were to be destroyed, it wouldn't concern him; he might even be delighted.
And those beautiful young girls are nothing more than a handful of yellow earth.
With his current strength, he could easily change 10 different women a day without repeating any. Why would I bother to redeem them?
Looking at the silver-haired boy's indifferent profile.
Lian sighed inwardly.
"To be indifferent to the suffering of others is truly the mark of a tyrant."
Sakura's awe of him rose to a new level.
"Those who have no pity or compassion are equally flawless, and such people are the most difficult to deal with..."
After some selection.
Jiang Yuan ultimately chose five rare eighth-tier spiritual materials and one ninth-tier spiritual material, the Nirvana Azure Fruit.
Two martial arts manuals—the nine-star martial arts technique [Hollow Eater], and the eight-star martial arts technique [Air Strike].
Two high-level magic skill books: [Shadow Thunder Spear] and [Dark Dragon's Breath]
"The total value is 1.15 billion, and 730 million is left," Sakura said.
The blond-haired boy, Lian, was taken aback when he saw the martial arts technique Jiang Yuan had chosen. "This is..."
Jiang Yuan: "What's wrong with this martial arts manual?"
"The Nine-Star Martial Art [Virtual Devouring] was dropped by my grandfather from a ruin. I heard it's just an incomplete version, and the entire technique only has one move: drawing the sword. It's incredibly difficult. I've tried to learn it several times, but my grandfather has stopped me each time," Lian said earnestly. "I advise you to choose another one."
High difficulty level, incomplete manuscript?
Wouldn't that be better?
Jiang Yuan smiled, "No need, this one will do."
Seeing that he insisted, Lian didn't say anything more.
"Um?"
Jiang Yuan flipped to the crystal section, his face showing surprise.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few very rare crystals.
"Azure Crystal, Dark Crystal, Thunder Tear Crystal, Heavenly Bamboo Crystal, Spirit Treasure Crystal... and even a Time Crystal containing a trace of time power, you actually have this?"
The black-snake-like man said, "These were all unearthed from the ruins of Alaya. The seals on those ruins contain the rules of time, so it's probably due to that influence."
Relics? Seals? Rules of time?
Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Although they are extremely rare and precious, almost no one buys Time Crystals. On the one hand, they are too expensive, and on the other hand... they are almost never used," Sakura said with a wry smile.
"After all, there are very few people who have awakened time-related talents, and if they frequently come into contact with time crystals, it will affect their own time flow and cause them to age faster, so most people won't even give them a second glance."
"In that case, I'll take them all."
Jiang Yuan spoke.
To the astonishment of the three.
They swept away all the rare crystals like nouveau riche.
The remaining credit limit has also been used up.
Just as Lian was filled with anticipation and hopeful expectation that the terrifying boy in front of her would leave,
After putting everything away, he sat down again, picked up a porcelain cup, took a sip of wine, and said with bright eyes:
"Next, I'd like to trade you some intelligence."
Aren't you leaving yet?!
Lotus wailed in her heart.
Sakura, dressed in a kimono, sat upright with a solemn expression and said, "Please speak."
Jiang Yuan tossed out a piece of material from the body of a ninth-tier ferocious beast, saying:
"I want to know how many potential kings there are on this island, and the truth behind the Grand Wars."
Sakura glanced at it, then shook her head. "The price isn't enough."
Jiang Yuan then threw out another high-level scroll.
Sakura nodded, then said something surprising:
"Currently, there are five quasi-kings on the island."
"Five? Besides the three main families, who are the other two?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
"One is an old swordsman from the Lions Club, and the other is a shrine priest in charge of guarding the ruins."
"The ruins you're talking about...?"
"The Tomb of the God of Calamity," the blond-haired boy, Ren, said. "This island was built on that ruin, and the three great families established the Calamity Shrine directly above it to suppress it."
"Young Master is right. The reason why the three families set up the Grand Tournament is to use the power of the God of Calamity to sacrifice other geniuses and ultimately select the God Child."
Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered.
His earlier guess was right!
"It's less of a selection and more of a pre-selection," Ren sneered. "That Ryuuya Shingu is practically guaranteed a spot. Even Midori, who's ranked second, is just paving the way for him."
"You sound like you really dislike Jingu Ryuya. Do you have a grudge against him?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
"No, I have no grudge against him, but I have a grudge against the three starter families. My parents died at their hands. So I will do anything that is detrimental to them. If I were to become king, the first thing I would do is to destroy the ancestral shrines of the three starter families." Ren knelt on the ground, her hands on her knees, and sneered.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "That's great. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"I'm now at odds with the three starter families. If you provide me with information for free, I might even help you take down Jingu Ryu."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Lian's eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan took a sip of wine and smiled, "Of course."
Lian looked at Ying and the snake.
Black Snake looked at Sakura, who was deep in thought.
After thinking for a while, she looked up at the silver-haired boy opposite her.
"Whether we can cooperate depends on Mr. Shirakawa's sincerity. Otherwise, acting blindly and incurring the hostility of the three major families will only lead to the destruction of our Paradise Mansion. Could you please tell us, Mr. Shirakawa, just how strong you really are...?"
Upon hearing this...
The silver-haired boy carried a porcelain cup, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face.
His words left the three of them stunned, their minds going blank.
"Third rank and above, below the King realm."
"Given the right opportunity, we might even kill the quasi-king."
………………
The long night has finally come to an end.
The next day.
The torrential rain finally stopped temporarily, leaving countless waterlogged roads, making the entire steel jungle damp and gloomy.
On their way to school, groups of girls in school uniforms chattered about what happened last night.
Jingu Yu hasn't been to school for the past few days, staying in bed at home, her mind still replaying the events of the previous two days.
In the past two days, Shirakawa Gen's name has not only spread among the high-ranking members of various families, but has also become a rising star in the Grand Rank battles.
Reaching four stars in just three days, the name of Tyrant Shirakawa Gen was practically legendary. Some even speculated that he was the culprit who single-handedly slaughtered the entire Kitahara Heavy Industries, causing numerous major bloodshed incidents. Suspicion from multiple events converged on one person, shrouding him in a mysterious, powerful, and dangerous veil, making him an idol worshipped by countless young people and sparking heated discussions.
Considered the biggest dark horse, he has the potential to challenge Jingu Ryuya's undefeated position!
Jingu Yu met with Yamashita Tetsuya yesterday and already knows that he participated in the Grand Tournament, as well as that Jiang Yuan is the murderer who killed his neighbor and hundreds of CIG members.
The person he saved turned out to be a notorious executioner and murderer!
Was that seemingly gentle and handsome boy just an act?
Thinking about this.
Countless complex emotions surged within Shen Gongyu.
"Yuan-kun..."
She longed to see that silver-haired boy again.
I have so many questions I want to ask.
If he's really that vicious, why has he saved me so many times? Why has he been so gentle with me...?
Why?
"Found you..."
"Found you..."
Strange and eerie murmurs suddenly echoed in her mind, like a cold wind that kept trying to invade Shen Gongyu's mental world.
here we go again……
Jingu Yu clutched the blanket tightly, covering her entire body in agony, and curled up into a ball.
Who will...?
help me.
