Chapter 1704 Its Time to Return It
A third of the Ancient Citys profits? Li Xuan looked at Pata as though he was looking at a lunatic.
Pata clearly didnt believe that he was a lunatic. He said with great confidence, Dont think that a third of the profits is a lot. If I lend my Companion Beast to Karoman, with his personality, he definitely wont let this matter rest after suffering such humiliation. He might even hunt you down. When that happens, youd even lose your life. Whats the point of having more money and resources?
Therefore, wanting a third of the profits isnt excessive. It can even be said to be a very reasonable price. This is also on account of your good relations.h.i.+p with some of the members of our Ultimate Family Clan. Otherwise, I wouldnt have come here to negotiate with you. If I were to directly negotiate with Karoman, it would definitely be more than this price, Pata said eloquently as though everything was under his control.
Zhou Wen only looked at Pata with interest without saying a word.
Li Xuan said in exasperation and amus.e.m.e.nt, Your a.n.a.lysis is very accurate, but are you really sure that a Companion Beast can do what you just said?
I knew you wouldnt believe me, but its fine. I can prove to you that my Companion Beast is worth this price, said Pata as he summoned the Anasrava Gold Turtle.
It was a huge turtle made of gold. It lay motionless in front of Pata like a golden statue.
The Anasrava Gold Turtle looked somewhat different from ordinary turtles. Its back was as smooth as a mirror, without any patterns that a turtle sh.e.l.l should have. Its limbs, head, and tail formed a unibody.
Li Xuan looked at it for a long time and felt that it didnt look like a turtle. Instead, it looked like a softsh.e.l.l turtle.
Before Li Xuan could voice his thoughts, Pata transformed the Anasrava Gold Turtle into golden armor and put it on.
You shouldnt be unfamiliar with this armor, right? Previously, the reason why Karoman was able to successfully clear the long staircase in front of Alkaid Star Palace was that he had borrowed my Anasrava Gold Turtle. And its abilities are far from that. If you dont believe me, you can use the taboo power that can eliminate the Sun G.o.d powers to see if its effective against my Anasrava Gold Turtle, said Pata confidently.
Its just a turtle sh.e.l.l. Do you really think Li Xuan was about to say something teasing when he was interrupted by Zhou Wen.
Your turtles name is Anasrava Gold Turtle? Zhou Wen wasnt angry at all as he sized up the golden turtle with interest.
Thats right. Its stronger than when I lent it to Karoman. It has already reached the h.e.l.l level. Pata was somewhat smug.
He indeed had the right to be smug. In this era, the number of people who could possess h.e.l.l-level Companion Beasts could be counted on one hand.
Anasrava should be a Buddhist saying. Buddhism has the so-called Anasrava Wisdom. It refers to witnessing the truth, a wisdom gained from abandoning all worries and disobedience. Its also known as Buddha Wisdom. Such a Companion Beast shouldnt be from the North District, right? Zhou Wen said as he looked at the Anasrava Gold Turtle.
In order to cultivate the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, he had studied the Buddhist Sutra for a period of time. Although he wasnt proficient in it, he knew something related to Buddhism.
The word Anasrava represented perfection. It was a manifestation of great wisdom in Buddhism. To be able to use the name Anasrava meant that this turtle was probably extraordinary.
However, what really intrigued Zhou Wen wasnt its name, but because the aura of the Anasrava Gold Turtle was somewhat different from ordinary Buddhist-type Companion Beasts. This difference was somewhat similar to Zhou Wens Truth Listener. It made Zhou Wen suspect that it might have come from Small Buddha Temple.
Back when the three-faced Buddha gave three Companion Eggs, Zhou Wen chose Truth Listener. He wasnt very sure what the remaining two Companion Eggs were.
You are quite a discerning person. Thats right. The Anasrava Gold Turtle is indeed not a Companion Beast from the North District. However, in this era, Companion Beasts no longer have any limitations. It doesnt matter where it came from. Whats important is that its in my hands, said Pata.
If I were to guess, would you tell me where this Anasrava Gold Turtle came from? Zhou Wen said to Pata.
What do you mean? Pata frowned.
If Im not wrong, this Anasrava Gold Turtle should be from Luoyang. When Zhou Wen mentioned Luoyang, Patas eyes flickered, making him even more convinced of his judgment.
Its not a question of where it comes from. What exactly Before Pata could finish his sentence, Zhou Wen interrupted him.
Of course its a problem. Luoyang belongs to the An family. Since your Companion Beast came from Luoyang, it should belong to the An family to begin with. How can you use it to make a deal with me? Zhou Wen said slowly.
Zhou Wen, cut the c.r.a.p. Why dont you say that all the Companion Beasts in the world belong to your family? Do you want to make a deal with me? Dont force me to lend the Anasrava Gold Turtle to Karoman. Pata was somewhat vexed.
Zhou Wen ignored Patas anger and took out his phone to call a number.
Zhou Wen, why are you suddenly calling me? Lances voice sounded over the phone.
Let me ask you something, Zhou Wen said.
Whats the matter? Lance found it odd. Zhou Wen and the An family were basically active in the East District and seldom went to the North District. He didnt know what Zhou Wen was up to.
Pata is from your Ultimate Family Clan, right? Zhou Wen asked.
Lance paused and didnt answer directly. Instead, he asked, Why are you suddenly asking this?
By the side, Pata sneered and said, Zhou Wen, its useless even if you try to pull strings. Lances reputation doesnt matter to me. A third of the profits-not one cent less. Its useless no matter who you get.
Pata imagined that Zhou Wen was trying to get Lance to negotiate on his behalf, so he spoke without any mercy.
Im just asking. Do I need to take you into consideration? Zhou Wen ignored Pata and said to Lance.
Theres no need to consider me. As long as you dont beat him to death, its fine. Lance answered immediately without asking any questions.
Zhou Wen immediately knew that Lance and Pata didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p. It was even possible that this fellow didnt have many good social connections in the Ultimate Family Clan.
If Pata had some social connections in the Ultimate Family Clan, it would be impossible for Lance to say such things.
Got it. Having made a decision, Zhou Wen didnt say anything else and hung up.
Pata looked at Zhou Wen and said coldly, Zhou Wen, I advise you to think it through carefully. Since I dare come here, Im not afraid that you will attack me. Dont force me to side with Karoman. You cant bear the consequences, much less Guide Ancient City.
Ive thought it through very clearly. Since I dont need to consider Lance, its time for you to return whats not yours. As Zhou Wen spoke, he had secretly switched to the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art.
Not long ago, Zhou Wen had entered a hidden dungeon in the endless cosmos. Furthermore, he had advanced the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art to the Calamity grade. Now, he could test it out with Pata.
