The merchant shook his head, "I will do what I say. I said that I like her and I will like her for the rest of my life. If I say that I will return the Bank of the Universe's top grade celestial crystals, I will."
Tian Guangming pouted, "How are you going to pay them back? The business that you worked so hard for your entire life has been split up by your three nephews. You can't take out 10 billion top grade celestial crystals and they aren't willing to give you 10 billion."
The merchant smiled, "I am a merchant and I have been doing business my entire life. How can I fall for someone else's tricks?"
"So, you have an idea? Why don't you kick the three of them away and make them penniless? Then, you can head to the Bank of the Universe to end the contract. You made me make a trip. "Tian Guangming grumbled.
The merchant said, "So what if I do? I only have 100 years left. Once the time is up, I will die."
"I have no children and even if they are ingrates, they have inherited a portion of my bloodline. If I don't give it to them, then who should I give it to?" The merchant asked Tian Guangming.
Tian Guangming scratched his head. This was a problem. This merchant was just too infatuated. Because he liked a girl, he didn't marry and didn't have children. He followed his oath.
He used his entire life to protect his oath, so Tian Guangming couldn't blame him for anything.
"You can use the top grade celestial crystals to exchange for lifespan." Tian Guangming had an idea and suggested to the merchant.
The merchant said helplessly, "I don't have a watch to enter. Apart from the 10 billion, I have been searching but I can't find a second one. If I enter the Bank of the Universe again, I can only return the debt and not trade."
"That is easy. You don't have a watch but I do." Tian Guangming smiled. The Bank of the Universe lacked everything but red watches.
Along with Li Xiandao unlocking the watch mountain, the Bank of the Universe had an endless supply of watches.
Tian Guangming had a few on him.
"Can you give me one?" The merchant looked at Tian Guangming emotionally.
"As long as you end the contract, I will give you one. I see that you don't lack money, but the prerequisite is that you can get your hands on the empire that you built." Tian Guangming said.
The merchant looked at Tian Guangming and said emotionally, "I have prepared a backup plan. If they don't listen to me, then they will be our weapons to deal with them. Give me some time."
"Do whatever you want, I will just watch." Tian Guangming didn't care.
The merchant took out a magic treasure and activated the charm inside. It was a mirror that was about the size of a palm. It was very inconspicuous in his hand, but once it was activated, it could immediately form a connection with other similar mirrors.
"Do it. Capture these three idiots and their direct relatives. Capture all of them and bring the supreme grade immortal crystals to me." The merchant ordered.
"Yes, sir!" A few low voices came from the mirror, answering the merchant.
The merchant nodded his head in satisfaction. He looked at Tian Guangming and said, "It will be done soon. I gave them all the things in their hands. Since I can give them, then I can take them back. It is okay that they are obedient but their ability doesn't match their ambition. They can't break away from me and even want to betray me. That makes me sad."
Tian Guangming praised, "The older the ginger, the spicier."
The merchant smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to do that. They forced me. They should be obedient and be filial to me. I also don't have any descendants, so sooner or later I will pass all these things to them."
"Do you regret it?" Tian Guangming asked.
The merchant knew what he was asking about.
Did he regret guarding a woman for his entire life?
Did he regret not leaving a single descendant?
"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel a little bitter, but … The only thing I don't like is regret. I have done it, but I support what I do 100%. Even if it is wrong, I won't regret it." The merchant shook his head.
Tian Guangming casually chatted with the merchant. This was probably the easiest contract he had ever executed. There were no problems at all and the merchant solved it himself. Tian Guangming just needed to wait for a while.
While waiting, the merchant even chatted with Tian Guangming. The two of them had a good conversation. At least they were from the same generation and there was no generation gap. Be it the merchant or Tian Guangming, they were both experienced and wouldn't make the conversation awkward.
As they chatted, a large group of people arrived.
A bunch of black-clothed people all gave off extraordinary auras and were really strong. Many of them were at Celestial Realm and they suppressed the merchant's three nephews.
The three nephews were stunned. They looked at their uncle and begged.
"Uncle, don't kill me. I know I was wrong."
"Uncle, why do you have such a strong bunch of subordinates?"
"Uncle, why did you do that? Did we not allow you to take top-grade celestial crystals? "
The three nephews' cultivation wasn't high and they weren't at Celestial Realm. They were fat and enjoyed their lives. At this moment, one of them was so terrified that he peed his pants.
They had no future at all.
The merchant looked at them with a helpless expression. He said coldly, "I gave all of you a chance but you didn't take it, so don't blame me. From today onwards, all of you will live a normal life. I will give you a few businesses to manage and you won't starve to death. In the future, don't appear in front of me."
The three nephews panicked and they hurriedly hugged the merchant's legs. They cried and wanted to kill themselves. It was as if the merchant wasn't their uncle but their father.
But the merchant waved his hand and a black-clothed man dragged the three nephews away. He didn't give them a chance to mess with him.
"These are the orphans I took in in the early years. I nurtured them and taught them. When they grew up and were willing to work for me, then they would. If they didn't, then I would let them out. There are only 300 of them and all of them are at Celestial Realm. This is my final trump card." The merchant said proudly.
This was his final method to deal with the three nephews.
"Good skill." Tian Guangming clapped.
"How many top grade celestial crystals did you bring?" The merchant asked.
"10 billion." A black-clothed man said.
"Pass it to this mister." The merchant pointed.
The leader didn't hesitate and passed a storage treasure to Tian Guangming.
Tian Guangming took a close look and confirmed that there were no problems. It was 10 billion top grade celestial crystals. He was satisfied, "Not bad, the contract is here. You can tear it."
The merchant thought about it and said, "Forget it, leave it as a souvenir. I don't want to forget this matter."
"Up to you. This contract is for you and don't tell anyone else. Also, this watch is for you." Tian Guangming took out a watch and passed it to the merchant.
The merchant's expression turned solemn and he respectfully took it with both hands. He bowed, "Thank you!"
Tian Guangming didn't care, "I hope that you can live longer."
