Although they had expected it, the worst situation still happened …
Ji Bonong and Ji Zhixu's hearts were a little heavy.
From the beginning, Ji Bonong knew that this was a gamble with a huge price. All the chips were on the table. If they lost, they would have nothing.
In this gamble, there were two points to be gambled on.
One was that the power of the owner of the bookstore was enough to make all the Extraordinaires who wanted to control Rohr Resources wary and even fearful.
In this way, with the support of the bookstore, the Ji family could officially break away from the ranks of ordinary people and truly make Rohr Resources a new Extraordinaire organization instead of a puppet that the Extraordinaires could play with in the palms of their hands.
This was not a big risk because Ji Zhixu had already proven it.
In fact, as an ordinary person, Ji Bonong could only accurately judge the power level of these high-level Extraordinaires through his daughter, who was a Extraordinaire.
Although he could not find any traces, Ji Bonong always guessed that the Extraordinaires had something to do with the White Wolf incident.
They wanted to use that opportunity to destroy Ji Zhixu so that she could never set foot in the Extraordinaire domain again. Although it would not endanger her life, if the accident had not happened back then, Ji Zhixu would definitely not have been able to continue surviving in the Hunter Organization.
However, because of a coincidence, Ji Zhixu became a customer of the bookstore. Now, she had become a hunter close to the Annihilation level and the leader of a sufficiently powerful Hunter Organization. Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
Although this was the case, it was very easy for the Extraordinaires who had been controlling Rohr Resources to make a move. However, the others did not continue to make a move on Ji Zhixu.
This proved that the power of the bookstore was enough to make the Extraordinaires fearful.
The second was to gamble on the temperament of the owner of the bookstore.
This second point was the most important one. It was also the key to winning or losing the gamble.
Ji Bonong knew very well that what they were doing now was no different from dancing on the edge of a knife. With a deliberate purpose and calculation, they were going to make a deal with an "omniscient and omnipotent god."
This was almost equivalent to using the other party.
Most high-level Extraordinaires were extremely arrogant. If they found out that they were being used, most of them would be very unhappy.
If the god was angry, the consequences would be very serious.
According to the known information, their "Lord God" was merciless when dealing with people with malicious intentions. Usually, he would destroy them directly.
On the other hand, if it was a guest, they would be very friendly and could even forgive the other party's previous rudeness to a certain extent.
For example, Yue Sefu went to the bookstore with hostility for the first time when he learned that Wang Erde had stayed in the bookstore for a while.
However, that was based on the premise that they did not know the power of the bookstore owner.
Ignorance is blameless and can be forgiven.
Even so, Mr. Lin would still teach them a small lesson so that they would understand what kind of existence they were facing.
They were clearly trying to use the bookstore to fight for their own interests. In fact, it was already a very bold test. It could even be said to be offensive.
Once they lost the bet, no matter what the supernatural beings planned to do next, they would first have to face the wrath of the bookstore owner.
And this fury … they didn't even have the chance to bear it.
In the situation that Ji Bonong originally imagined, if they were unable to move Lin Jie, the worst outcome … would be nothing more than losing their lives. Ji Bonong came with the mentality that he might die. However, he was still just an ordinary person, and an ordinary person who was a little older. It was inevitable that he would be nervous and worried.
His only hope was that Ji Zhixu would be fine.
Fortunately, she was a customer of the bookstore, and the owner of the bookstore had always been very good to his customers.
However, he didn't expect that things would seem to have ended before they even started …
The owner of the bookstore said that he "didn't accept gifts that were too expensive."
The ancient items that they had prepared from the underground ruins were of the highest value to them. However, the owner of the bookstore didn't accept them!
Then, the owner of Rohr's resources was placed on the same level as the driver. The pride that had always existed in Ji Bonong's heart as a mortal looking for an opportunity to fight against supernatural beings was degraded into the mud.
All hope was extinguished. This gamble seemed to have completely failed.
Ji Bonong's face was stiff and ashen. He used all his strength to not lose his composure on the spot, but his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Ji Zhixu took a deep breath. Her mind was also shaken in an instant.
However, she had been in contact with the bookstore for a long time. Therefore, from these words, she still found a slim chance of survival.
"Our actions have indeed angered Mr. Lin … Based on his usual temper when dealing with customers, the last sentence can already be considered a mockery. He's really angry."
"But he still greeted me in the beginning. This means that he still treats me as a customer. Things aren't that bad. There's still a chance!"
"It's just that our actions of taking matters into our own hands, especially when our father is just a mortal. Using benefits to weigh the bookstore made him very unhappy … So, he warned us that these 'rich people', who are also 'merchants', shouldn't be used here."
Ji Zhixu couldn't help but sigh. "In his eyes, Rohr's resources are no different from the thousands of other mortals."
"… No, wait. This sentence isn't the main point. The real main point should be the sentence before that."
Ji Zhixu muttered in her heart, "He won't accept things that are too expensive. Things that are too expensive …"
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "This isn't a rejection!"
Although to them, and even to everyone else in this world, the Ancient Relics Building was a precious treasure of great value, no one would think that this thing wasn't expensive.
But to an existence at the level of the bookstore owner, the value of these things was really "not too expensive"!
This sentence was from Mr. Lin's point of view. Therefore, they couldn't consider it with their own thoughts … They thought that this was a rejection. On the contrary, this was a test set in the beating!
If they retreated, it would be equivalent to not passing this test.
Then, the owner of the bookstore could logically refuse.
But if they faced the difficulties head-on, they would truly understand Mr. Lin's purpose.
It was not advisable to consider their own interests. As the beneficiaries of the bookstore, they should think of everything from Mr. Lin's point of view from now on. Everything should be considered for the sake of the bookstore, contribute to the bookstore, and become the bookstore's servants.
Only in this way would they be qualified to let the bookstore fulfill their wishes!
Ji Zhixu used her eyes and tilted her head to signal Ji Bonong to calm down. Then, she sat firmly on the stool in front of the counter and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. It's not anything expensive. It's just some ordinary trinkets."
Lin Jie's mouth twitched. I'm just being polite … You're a young lady. You won't really give me some local specialties like Old Wang, right?
Probably not … You're the young lady of Rohr's resources!
He smiled and couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
Why did I say that sentence just now?
