Chapter 2137 A Deal in a Desperate Situation

Lu Chengwen ran up to the gang leader: "Uncle, your hand!"

The gang leader said, "Good nephew, the luminous pearl is yours. Tell them!"

"it is good!"

Lu Chengwen shouted, "The luminous pearl is mine!"

Everyone stared at Lu Chengwen.

Zhao Ritian pointed at the gang leader and shouted, "But give it to him!"

The gang leader said, "Good nephew, I don't have a luminous pearl. You tell them that."

"it is good."

"He doesn't have a luminous pearl anymore!"

Zhao Ritian: "He hid it!"

The gang leader roared, "Shut up!"

He then said to Lu Chengwen, "Good nephew, just say that I don't have any more luminous pearls either, that they were stolen."

Zhao Ritian shouted, "He won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin! He won't hand it over unless we cut off a few of his fingers!"

The gang leader rushed forward to kick Zhao Ritian, yelling, "Get out! Get out of here!"

He then grabbed Lu Chengwen's sleeve: "Good nephew, just say it's in your pocket."

Lu Chengwen looked at the gang leader: "Everyone, everyone check your pockets to see if you have any luminous pearls. Hurry up!"

The strategist roared, "What nonsense are you spouting?! You think you can find a luminous pearl in your own pocket?!"

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "Did you flip it?"

"I didn't take it at all, why would I be searching for it?"

"Take a look first."

"I'll freaking search... I'll find it and I'll change my surname to yours! I'll be your grandson! Look, this pocket, it's not there! This pocket! It's not there! This pocket... it's..."

The gang leader was so angry his eyelids twitched: "You stole my luminous pearl!"

"Huh?" The strategist was stunned: "I didn't, it... went into my pocket by itself."

"The luminous pearl has grown legs, hasn't it?"

The strategist looked distressed: "I...maybe it has developed its own consciousness. Didn't those two stone figures both talk?"

"Damn it! You won't hand over my fingers even after they've been chopped off, you bastard!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Yuanzheng said irritably, "Give me the luminous pearl!"

At this moment, the strategist suddenly took a step back, raised the luminous pearl, and shouted, "Don't move! Nobody move!"

He pointed at someone and roared, "I'm talking to you! Don't draw your sword! Otherwise, I'll smash the luminous pearl right now!"

The situation cooled down instantly.

Jiang Yuanzheng laughed: "Brother, don't get agitated, we can talk things over..."

"do not move!"

The strategist, with tears streaming down his face, said, "I can see it now. You are all people with great supernatural powers. You might be from some powerful family or sect, pretending to be robbers here!"

Jiang Yuanzheng said, "Life in the martial world is tough, everyone's just trying to make a living. You've given us face, so we'll naturally do you a favor in return!"

"keep your word!"

The strategist, clutching the luminous pearl, kept glancing at the pillar beside him: "I know you're fast! But I'm not slow either! I can smash it to pieces in one hit!"

Jiang Yuanzheng took a deep breath: "Friend, as long as you hand over the luminous pearl, I guarantee you can leave here safely!"

Seeing the situation was changing, the gang leader quickly moved closer, shouting, "Don't move! Otherwise, my strategist..."

"Don't move either!"

The strategist pointed at the gang leader: "Step back!"

"You idiot, I'm the gang leader! Are you blind?"

"Get the hell out of here!"

"You motherfucker..." the gang leader gritted his teeth, "We're in cahoots!"

"You're dead! Don't you understand?!"

The strategist roared, "I'll die even if I'm in the same boat as you! Get back, make him back, or I'll smash the luminous pearl!"

One person grabbed the gang leader and slapped him repeatedly!

She threw it on the ground and pointed at him, saying, "Don't move."

Jiang Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Friend, I'm a man of my word. Hand over the luminous pearl, and I'll let you go. What we've done here today will be forgotten. How about it?"

"You...you keep your word?"

“Of course,” Jiang Yuanzheng said. “I’m a man of my word. Here, I’ll take off my mask and let you…”

Don't pick it!

The strategist screamed, "If I see you, I'm doomed!"

The strategist was extremely nervous, but at this moment he also began to use his negotiation skills:

"I'm just a strategist, working honestly and living a law-abiding life."

Then, pointing at the gang leader, he said, "I don't approve of anything he does. Whether you kill me or torture me is none of my business! Today I'm giving you the luminous pearl, just asking for a way to live. I don't know you, I don't even know who you are! Besides, I have a bad memory. I'll forget everything that happened tonight by tomorrow morning. I just want to live! I just want to live!"

The gang leader roared, "Weren't all my bad ideas yours?!"

One of them kicked him, yelling, "Shut up! Or I'll kill you!"

Jiang Yuanzheng laughed heartily: "That's great! As long as you hand over the Night-Shining Pearl, live a law-abiding life, and don't go around talking nonsense, what other problems are there? We're just doing this for someone else, and we have no grudge against you, right?"

The strategist nodded: "You...you...you swear!"

"Okay, I swear."

Just as Jiang Yuanzheng was about to swear an oath, the strategist added, "Swear on your parents, wife, and children!"

Jiang Yuanzheng's expression changed, and he stared at him with a sinister look.

"Hurry up! Or I'll fall!"

Jiang Yuanzheng gritted his teeth and said, "I swear on the lives of my parents, wife and children, that as long as you hand over the Night-Shining Pearl, I will spare your life."

"What about the rest?"

Jiang Yuanzheng thought to himself that this person's thinking was actually quite rigorous.

"Alright! Not just me, but everyone here, if anyone hunts you down, it will be considered that I broke my oath and am suffering the consequences of betraying it! Is that alright?"

The strategist nodded.

Now that things have come to this, this is the biggest promise I can get, and it's my only way to survive. I have no choice but to gamble.

He nodded: "Then I'll go over there now, and you... you're not allowed to kill me."

“Of course,” Jiang Yuanzheng said. “I’ve already sworn an oath.”

The strategist took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Jiang Yuanzheng.

Jiang Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, relax, it's okay, it's okay, gently, oh, yes... um?"

The strategist held the luminous pearl in his hand, opened his palm, and looked closely!

Stone.

Jiang Yuanzheng looked at the strategist.

The strategist panicked: "This...this isn't right! Wasn't that a luminous pearl just now?"

Jiang Yuanzheng shook his head: "Do you think... I can play with you?"

"No... Big brother, it was clearly a luminous pearl just now! How could this be..."

"Haven't it always been in your hands?"

"Yeah! I didn't even open my fist! How... how is this possible?"

The strategist looked up: "Brother, could it be that I don't actually have a luminous pearl, and we were all just seeing things?"

Jiang Yuanzheng flew into a rage, thrusting his sword into the strategist's shoulder and twisting the hilt: "Where's the luminous pearl! Ah!"

"Big...Big brother...I really..."

"Damn it, you've been talking to me about stones for ages!? And you even made me swear an oath!?"

Jiang Yuanzheng kicked the strategist to the ground: "Drag him away, search carefully, and kill him when you find the luminous pearl."

"Can't find it?"

Jiang Yuanzheng said, "What do you think?"

"I was wrong!" The strategist was dragged back, crying and begging for mercy: "I really didn't know! I'm just a simple boy. I've been a strategist for several years, and I've never done anything like this before—ah—!"

Jiang Yuanzheng flicked his sword and stared at the gang leader.

The gang leader stood up, gripping his severed hand tightly.

"Big brother, I... I really don't have any luminous pearls or anything like that..."

Jiang Yuanzheng said coldly, "Hand over Lu Chengwen."

The gang leader, with a mournful face, said, "I really don't have that. I swear to God, absolutely not!"
