"Listen, we're willing to help you keep your secret, but the problem is, how are you going to thank us?"
Lu Siya squatted down in front of A 'Ji and grinned. "It's just as you said, this is regaining youth. It's a miracle of life! If we don't rip you off, you won't believe that we can keep such a major secret, right? "
A 'Ji's eyes went wide, and he stuttered, "You've already snatched all the cultivation resources, treasures, and confidential data from this secret lab. These things are enough to turn a nobody into a peerless fighter!
"Let's not talk about anything else, just the seven tubes of Hell's Blood that Big Brother Chao absorbed in one go are the best super gene medicine in Dragon City. Jin Wanhao collected and refined them for decades, but he only managed to create seven of them. Only seven!
"I wanted to use them to refine a brand new body after I regained my youth so that I could become stronger than Battle God Lei Zongchao, but Big Brother Chao ate them in such a simple and crude manner!
"O-Of course, I have no objections to Big Brother Chao eating Hell's Blood, but I really have nothing left. What else do you want?"
A 'Ji's heart was broken, and he looked incredibly wronged.
"Put away that pitiful look. It's useless."
Lu Siya pursed her lips. "Didn't you just say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows? Aside from this secret lab, did the Underground Emperor leave behind other treasures?"
"That's …"
A 'Ji's eyes darted around a few times before he stammered, "There are, but the other secret treasure warehouses are rather small, and the facilities are very simple. They can't store valuable natural treasures. Ninety percent of Jin Wanhao's wealth is here.
"Since all the treasures here belong to you, why don't you leave the treasure warehouses that aren't worth mentioning to me, a lonely child who's still growing and in desperate need of nutrition?"
"Cut the crap."
Lu Siya snorted and exposed A 'Ji's lie with just one sentence. "When I searched the secret lab just now, I noticed that quite a number of storage cabinets and display racks have been moved. The places that should have stored the treasures are all empty.
"Think about it carefully. This secret lab might have an iron wall blocking it, but sooner or later, Golden Tooth will open it.
"Since you've already made up your mind to cut off all ties with the past Saber Jin Wanhao and cut off all ties with him, it's impossible for you to leave your most valuable treasure here and let Golden Tooth benefit from it.
"Therefore, I highly suspect — no, I'm certain — that in the few months after you regained your youth, you moved the secret treasures stored in this place to other bases and warehouses bit by bit. The only things that are not stable and require strict storage conditions, such as Hell's Blood, haven't been moved yet. My dear Ah Ji, am I right?"
"You —"
A 'Ji's face was pale, and he was rendered speechless.
"Be a good boy and hand over all your treasures."
Lu Siya put on a gentle expression that made Meng Chao shudder. She pinched A 'Ji's cheek gently and spoke in a voice that sounded like a weasel talking to a chick. "Just now, we fought against the Vortex together, and we can be considered to have gone through thick and thin together. We're friends who have gone through life and death together. Besides, I admire the former Underground Emperor a lot, and I treat him as my greatest idol. In fact, I admire him even more than Battle God Lei Zongchao!
"I won't kill you. Hand over all your treasures, resources, materials, medicine, and data. We'll split them equally. Each of us will take 33.33333%, and no one will take more than 0.000001. Isn't that fair?"
"… How is that fair?!"
A 'Ji looked like he was about to cry. "Those things were mine to begin with! Saber Jin Wanhao worked hard and risked his life to gather them!"
"But you're A 'Ji, not Jin Wanhao. The real Jin Wanhao is already dead. Isn't this the information you want us to reveal to the outside world?"
"Since Jin Wanhao is already dead and he's the bane of his existence, he has no children, and what he accumulated is the ill-gotten wealth he obtained from the gray areas. Naturally, everyone who sees it will have a share. Is there a problem with that?"
A 'Ji had nothing to say to that. After holding it in for a long time, his face turned red, and he said, "You can say whatever you want, but I won't reveal the coordinates of the other treasure warehouses and the method to open them. Otherwise, you can just kill me and go your separate ways!"
"I won't kill you. Killing you won't bring me any benefits. I never do anything that doesn't bring me any benefits."
Lu Siya remained calm in the face of the rascally Leprosy Village boy. "Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret either. You want to enjoy pure freedom as a Leprosy Village boy, right? Alright, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll fulfill your wish.
"But starting from this second, I'll keep an eye on you twenty-four hours a day. I won't let you have the chance to go to the treasure warehouses and bring out the Underground Emperor's treasures to cultivate. Please believe in my strength and determination. You won't be able to escape from me."
A 'Ji was stunned. "W-What's the point of that? Both sides will be heavily injured, and you won't be able to get anything, right?"
"Looks like you still don't understand the situation, my dear A 'Ji. How could both sides be heavily injured?"
Lu Siya continued smiling gently. She pinched A 'Ji's face and said, "Meng Chao and I are fine with it. Even if we don't have the Underground Emperor's treasures, we can still get a lot of cultivation resources from Sky Pillar Corporation, Superstar, Agricultural University, the abnormal beast research department, the Broken Star Club, and Blue Home.
"The Underground Emperor's treasures are just a pleasant surprise to us. It's just the icing on the cake.
"But you're different. The importance of this treasure to you is ten times, no, a hundred times greater than ours. Without the Underground Emperor's treasures, you're just a normal Leprosy Village boy. Right now, your arms are heavily injured, and you're about to go through puberty, which is very important.
"If you miss out on these few years of growth and development, when your meridians, flesh, blood, bones, and spirit meridians take shape, no matter how much you cultivate, it'll be too late. It'll mean that you'll be crippled for the rest of your life. You might not even be as glorious as you were when you were Golden Tooth's gang leader in your previous life. Think about it carefully.
"Of course, if your only wish is freedom and you're willing to be a poor, normal person for freedom, then what I said just now won't be able to threaten you."
A 'Ji's expression changed drastically.
Fear and hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Y-You're ruthless …"
The Leprosy Village boy wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He cast Meng Chao an aggrieved and pleading gaze.
Meng Chao placed his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He studied the cracks left behind by the fierce battle just now on the ceiling.
It was as if these cracks contained the secrets of the Primordial Era.
A 'Ji's expression changed. He struggled in his heart for a long time before he clutched his chest and nodded in great pain. "Alright, I-I promise you that everyone who sees it will get a share, and we'll split it equally. But you can't just take the Underground Emperor's treasures for free, right? You took an astronomical amount of resources, so you have to think of a way to get me a new identity and build a new cultivation room and lab so that I can recover my strength as soon as possible. "
"That's easy. After all, there are too many things that you can't do personally when you're in society with the appearance of a nine-year-old. With our help, I believe that your new life will be smooth sailing. This is actually a win-win situation!"
Lu Siya's eyes sparkled, and she continued smiling. "Also, I believe that when Jin Wanhao was prepared to break free from Golden Tooth and start a new life, he wouldn't have just gathered treasures and gene medicine. He wouldn't have hidden some bearer bonds and the currency used in the deep web, right? Shouldn't everyone who sees it get a share so that we can share the benefits? "
A 'Ji gritted his teeth. "Y-Don't go overboard! You're going overboard!"
"You're a kid who swaggered through the streets with gold. You're just asking for death," Lu Siya said coldly with a shrug.
"It's just as I said. You're a nine-year-old kid, so isn't it very dangerous for you to casually throw around large amounts of bearer bonds and underground currency? You'll be much safer if I and Big Brother Chao help you wash them, right? That's why I'm actually helping you avoid death. Don't be so ungrateful and refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. "
She was still smiling like a caring elder sister.
She pinched A 'Ji's face with her fingers, and they gradually tightened. They were like pincers.
She once again released the Queen Bee's chilling aura.
Meng Chao gulped laboriously.
Without batting an eyelid, he took half a step to the side.
"I-I understand."
A 'Ji was a little afraid of Lu Siya's smile. He felt that this Queen Bee was even more terrifying than the Vortex. But she was the meat on his chopping block. He was in so much pain that he cried. He could only nod quickly. "Everyone who sees it gets a share, and we can share the benefits. I'll agree to anything.
"You, you've already plundered the Underground Emperor's treasury clean. You've even pulled out all my wool! Now, you can let me go, right? "
"Yeah …" Lu Siya declined to comment.
She just stared at A 'Ji, and her smile became even more mysterious.
If she blocked out her voice and presence, she would really look like a gentle and kind elder sister who only cared about her dear little brother.
But with her aggressive and aggressive presence, she immediately looked like a different person.
"W-What else do you want? This time, I really have nothing left!" A 'Ji grumbled.
"I know. I also don't have the heart to take away more things from you."
Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. "But when you fought against the Vortex just now, I saw that Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash was pretty powerful."
