Chapter 248 : : The Deal

"Brother I believe you are at the wrong address, even if the price is high we don't do this kind of mission," Sung Lee said in a polite tone as he placed the ring back on the table.

"You sure? I can further increase the price if you want," Rex said.

Sung Lee shook his head.

'Why is he refusing? hmm… is he really the one who is refusing?' Rex thought as he looked at the old man Sung Suyin.

"Sigh… even when I gave you such a good offer, it doesn't matter if you won't do it Frozen Flame can remove the hurdles in its way on its own. Those who won't surrender won't have a good end… and come to think of it your Black Scorpion City was in top 10 if the list," Rex said while pondering.

"Brother such threats won't work on me, I hear them all the time," Sung Lee said in his usual calm tone.

'As I thought, he didn't cancel the deal but refused the price. After I behaved like that he should have at least asked me to leave but he didn't and saw that old man beside him, I have a feeling they just want me to say… what do you want in exchange,' Rex thought.

After Rex made his plan, he starts laughing like he heard something funny. Jiang Shuang gave him a strange look while Sung Lee and the old man remained the same as before.

Thump….

Rex's face suddenly became expressionless then he slapped the table and looked at the Sung Suyin.

"Hey, old man Suyin just because I am playing your negotiation-negotiation game don't think that you can manipulate me to give you whatever you want, or do you think that with your mere Core Breaking 5th stage cultivation base you can go against Shadow Lord? him aside I am more than enough to level your sect at the moment, I ask you again will you accept the deal or not.

If not then just say it but the next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield where you will be regretting today's choice," Rex said in a threatening tone with increasing killing intent in his eyes.

[Skill 'Rage' is auto-activated]

When Rex started speaking everyone was calm but when the name and cultivation base of Sung Suyin was revealed between his words, everyone's expression totally changed.

The one with the most change was Sung Lee, his face suddenly became devoid of any expression he placed his hand on the table then suddenly the muscles on his hand began to tighten.

The veins on his hands became visible and sharp nails similar to that of a beast grew out of his fingers.

'Just how many strange techniques do they have?' (Rex)

"Having too much knowledge and unrestrained mouth can lead to death," Sung Lee said in a cold tone while looking at Rex, the hand he used to press the table had already left a deep imprint on the surface of the table.

Sung Lee's personality seems to have gone through a complete transformation it felt like he won't even think twice before dealing a killing blow to Rex.

Jiang Shuang's heartbeat almost stopped. The friendly-looking Sect Master was nowhere to be seen in his eyes, right now, he could only see a cold-blooded killing machine shrouded in the aura of death looking at Rex.

"Threatening me? hahaha… you are 100 years too early for that," Rex said as he pinched his fingers then his hand turned into a black metal like thing and transformed into a claw.

[Coming from someone who had died, reincarnated, and had two times change in personality in less than 50 years.]

Just when Sung Lee was about to move, the old man beside him placed his hand on his shoulder, and then Sung Lee became quite as before like an obedient kitten that has just been patted by his master.

"To think someone still remembered the name of this old man, seems like the Shadow Lord is from my era," Sung Suyin said in a nostalgic tone.

'What your era, I am a young man chasing hare… no I mean dreams, yes chasing my dreams,' (Rex)

When Sung Suyin spoke, Rex's fast-beating heart finally calmed down just now he was gambling, if his guess was wrong and the old man would have decided to silence him then he would have to while taking care of the beastman with him at the same time.

'There is one weird thing, unlike others, he didn't ask me what is Frozen Flame or Shadow Lord am I becoming famous hehe,' Rex was indifferent on the outside but he was glad inside.

"Old man can we speed up the talk? I still need to send some people to hell after this," Rex said in an indifferent tone.

Sung Suyin wasn't bothered by his attitude, he spoke in the same tone as before.

"We have heard that the Miraculous Alchemist Ye Tian who has found the cure for the side effect the people of Cold Heaven Sect face was also from Frozen Flame organization, is it true?" Sung Suyin asked.

When Rex heard the words 'Miraculous Alchemist Ye Tian', his pride had already reached the 9th heaven but when he thought about how Sung Suyin knew about it he calmed down.

Cold Heaven Sect has suppressed his Alchemist identity after he left the Snow Jade City so other people don't trouble him, it was not only for Rex but for them too. Rex was still selling the Anti-Cold cream at an affordable price but if he changed his mind and joined another organization then the price of the cream will definitely increase… multiply is a more accurate term to define it.

'This sect's information network his really strong,' Rex thought.

"You are talking about that Ye brat, that spoiled kid got two Essence Flame but is still keeps pestering me to bring one more what a greedy bastard. Oh I almost got off-topic, at present, he is 2nd guardian of Frozen Flame, and yeah serial number doesn't represent anything even if he is number 2, he is still my junior okay," Rex said in a nonchalant tone.

Sung Suyin and Sung Lee looked at each other in the eyes.

Jiang Shuang blushed with shame, he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury his head into it. Today he had witnessed how shameless a human can be.

As long as someone is not too dumb they can get a lot of information from his words, like….

First, Ye Tian has two Essence Flame in possession.

Second, his control over them has reached to a level where he wants to assimilate another Essence Flame.

Third, Frozen Flame has people called guardians who all have high qualifications or achievements and the other guardian should be the same as Ye Tian who is known as a Miraculous Alchemist, and the one in front of them who doesn't put an assassin at Core Breaking 5th stage in his eyes.

Although Sung Suyin and Sung Lee didn't totally believe in Rex's words but they didn't take them as lies either, they are the type who will investigate things and reach the conclusion only after having enough information about it.

"So Miraculous Alchemist Ye Tian is indeed from Frozen Flame, I will be direct, I want to request a cure form my and brother's injuries. If he could do that then we will accept your deal with any other price," Sung Suyin said.

'He already knows my name so he should also be aware of my brother, hmm… but he shouldn't know about the injury, I should properly explain it,' Sung Suyin thought.

'Brother? there is one more monster here, this Jiang Shuang and his information both have a close relationship with death, after I go back I will be sure to pull his ears until he changes into an elf,' Rex thought.

"I and my brother both received a severe internal injury during one of our mission, it made it hard for is to breakthrough further my brother tried to force his way through and successfully achieved breakthrough but his injury worsened and now it is becoming hard for him to even put up a decent fight.

If Alchemist Ye Tian can help us suppress this injury then I Sung Suyin promise that together with fulfilling our end of the deal my sect will never release any information of take any assassination target against the people from Frozen Flame organization," Sung Suyin said.

"This is a decision only that Brat Ye or Shadow Lord himself could make, wait a minute let me have a talk with that brat he might agree," Rex said then he closed his eyes like he was trying to connect a call to someone.

Rex sometimes shook his head sometimes his expression change to that of confusion like he was pondering over something, both the Sect Master and Sect Ancestor were curiously looking at Rex while there was one more person who was too embarrassed to even look at Rex with a straight face.

Who the hell is he even talking to?… Jiang Shuang thought.

{It's been a while, Miss Lucia, how are you doing?} Rex sent a message to Lucia using his Friend List.

A few days ago when Rex was in the castle, it was his usual routine to flir.. cough correction it was his usual routine to check on Lucia a few times a day to make sure if she is doing a fine job.

Lucia is a head maid, she is not only in charge of the things in the castle but also the thing that enters the castle and leaves it like the resources Rex buys and sells, all the records of these things are managed by her.

It was a little bit annoying for Rex to always send someone else to convey his message to her so he added her on the Friend List, he could also use the sound transmission talisman but it wasn't as secure as this one, Rex was already aware of the only weakness of the Friend List so he was still working on a new blueprint to upgrade it but it was still under development due to the lack of time.

{So it's Young Master Rex, everything is fine here, Oh I just remember Madam Lerna successfully achieved breakthrough and was able to take on humanoid form} Lucia's indifferent but melodious voice came from the other side.

{Really, then its good news… wait a minute Madam? this Bas..cough I mean Brother Jiang Shuang told you something like she is my wife and Little Aru is my kid with her?} Rex asked.

{Yes, Young Master Rex, you don't need to worry about it I won't tell anyone abou..} (Lucia)

{Miss Lucia how can you be so simple-minded like him, until a little while ago Miss Lerna was in her beast form so as a human how could I normally have a kid with her, Little Aru indeed have my blood in him and can be considered my kid but it's not in the way you think.

I don't mind it when you say it like that but Miss Lerna might not want to hear such words, she is a little short-tempered and might take it as an offense so I advise Miss Lucia to address her as Miss Lerna like me until she asks us not to} Rex explained.

[Just tell her you are afraid of getting stabbed in the heart by Luo Ru and Xiu Ying while sleeping on the bed]

'I... I am not,' (Rex)

{I see, I thank Young Master Rex for advising me, is there anything else?} Lucia asked without any change in her tone.

'No reaction at all? sigh… she is a tough nut to crack,' (Rex)

{There is nothing else, I will come to see you in person, later on,} Rex said then cut the connection.

Then he looked at the two people who were looking back at him in anticipation.

"After persuading him for a while he finally agreed but he is very busy these days you can go and meet him in Frozen Flame after few days, he will then check your injuries," Rex said with a serious face.

Sung Suyin was silent.

"Don't think that much, if you are considering the possibility of we and Shadow Lord ambushing you then you are really overestimating your abilities, even someone who has just reached Sky Body Formation Stage doesn't have the qualification to force him to make a move, you will know that after you visit Frozen Flame.

As for the address, you should be pretty much aware of it if not, then I will tell you just go and meet the City Lord Corentis he will send you to Frozen Flame," Rex said.

Sung Suyin nodded. normally he won't agree to such a thing but right now he didn't have much of a choice he was in dire need of a cure although the injury won't threaten his life but his business gave him a lot of enemies who are just waiting for the right moment to strike and if the news of their injury goes out then it won't end well for them.
