As time continued to pass, the fierce sun above the small island on the equator began to display its might. A fellow like Blood Demon, who was bare-chested, occupied a considerable portion of the street. It was not eye-catching no matter how one looked at it.
But reality was that the two people under the umbrellas on the street were more or less the focal point of the crowd.
A very important reason was that Luo Nan's previous magic show was held in the middle of the crowded street. He was completely unrestrained and attracted the interest of many people … … Even though there was a long conversation afterwards, there were still quite a few people who craned their necks over, guessing when the next show would begin.
Didn't he not even remove the "Taoist prop box"?
But there was another reason, and it was completely the fault of the two people's special identities.
The islands surrounding Coro Base were possibly one of the areas with the highest concentration of ability users. Many ability users possessed the identities of mercenaries or explorers. They hunted Mutants in this region of the sea, provided bodyguard services, or simply did some shady business.
Under such an environment, especially on the streets of the commercial port where there was a huge flow of people, it was hard to avoid people recognizing the identities of these two people … … Whether it was Blood Demon or Luo Nan, they were not fated to be low-key.
As for Blood Demon, he was currently paying attention to an even more special situation … …
"This really is an era of no privacy! The vast majority of people are just data, creating a bit of value for certain people. But for special people like us, we can't just let it go like this. Portrait rights are worth a lot of money, okay? "
The difference between Blood Demon and the 'plenipotentiary representative' who thirsted for talents was growing larger and larger. It seemed that his enthusiasm for being a teacher had come, and he had revealed his true nature a bit.
Luo Nan knew that he could not deal with problems based on simple emotional likes and dislikes. Plus, this fellow wasn't particularly annoying up until now. For this reason, there was no harm in playing along.
"What should I do? Sue? "
Blood Demon laughed heartily, "So it turns out that you, my boy, can also tell jokes … … Forget it. In the end, this is a problem of the same circle. Don't talk about this power or that power. In the end, it all depends on whether the circle you can influence recognizes it or not! If you recognize it, then that is true 'power'! "
As he spoke, he drained the remaining fruit wine in his cup in one gulp and stood up, "Let's go. Your brother will take you to broaden your horizons today!"
Luo Nan declined to comment, tacitly agreeing.
However, at this time, the box containing the secret deed was a bit of a hindrance. Blood Demon patted the suitcase and sought Luo Nan's opinion. "Should I have someone send this toy up on a ship?" There was no doubt that this was an action that went with the flow.
Luo Nan shook his head. Blood Demon raised his eyebrows, and Luo Nan waved his hand, knocking over the cup of water that he had been playing with for quite some time.
The water flowed horizontally. The table was not big, and soon the thin layer of water extended to the suitcase, soaking the bottom of the suitcase.
Then, the box slowly sank.
The bottom of the box was a hard table, but the feeling of "drowsiness" was undeniable — it was not an illusion, but reality.
It was as if the thin layer of water really led to a bottomless pool, to another space.
Within a breath or two, the black suitcase had completely "sunk". There was no longer any trace of its existence on the table. All that was left was a thin layer of water that almost dripped down the table.
"Hua!"
The surrounding idlers, who were looking forward to the second magic trick, were truly satisfied. Some people actually began to applaud in admiration. If the suitcase was still open, perhaps someone would have thrown something inside...
Of course, there were people who suspected that this was not a simple magic effect.
For ability users, this sort of intentional or unintentional act of breaking the boundary between the inner world and the secular world was more or less a taboo.
Luo Nan had received He Yueyin and the others' reminders and education before. It was just that he was tens of thousands of miles away from his hometown, and he had been dealing with ability users all this time. He had unconsciously loosened up.
However, he had done it. He really didn't care in the depths of his heart.
Blood Demon didn't care at all. He began to applaud as well. "This is a spatial fault. Even Ouyang Chen might not be able to do it as easily as you!"
Luo Nan spoke the truth. "It's just a small trick. It doesn't have any practical value. President Ouyang's method is truly useful. "
Blood Demon continued to applaud, but he didn't continue on this topic. "What I admire the most is your straightforwardness and magnanimity. You have a lofty character in your heart, and you don't take advantage of others..."
No matter how gorgeous Luo Nan's methods were, as long as he accepted the suitcase containing the secret deed, it was tantamount to approving of this transaction.
Blood Demon had already achieved his goal today. No matter what Luo Nan said, he had profited.
How much were pretty words worth?
Luo Nan was well aware of this. However, a transaction was like this. As long as both parties were willing, then it was a good transaction. Whether or not the value was balanced depended on each person's needs and abilities. Plus, Luo Nan had agreed to be an artist. How many paintings could he paint? How long would he paint? Should he drag out a draft or something...
Weren't these key details not mentioned yet?
To put it bluntly, Luo Nan was still observing. He was observing whether or not Blood Demon would put out an even more valuable bargaining chip.
"Let's go. We can't always let others watch us play. Today, we'll go to the intelligence circle at Coro Base to take a look."
Blood Demon had no intention of stopping here. He even directly indicated his next destination. Then he brought Luo Nan with him... and turned around to enter the indoor storefront of this street cafe.
The crisp sound of the bell didn't have much effect in this not-so-quiet storefront.
Blood Demon didn't expect a beautiful waitress to shout "Welcome!" or the like. He led Luo Nan directly toward the bar counter, but he ignored the greeting of the lady boss behind the bar counter. He simply reached over and pulled out a landline phone that had a sense of age from behind the bar counter. He picked up the receiver and pressed the '#' key on the keyboard in passing. He spoke just like that:
"Hello. Call a cab... to your house. Prepare some drinks."
The call really did connect. Luo Nan could sense the other party's vague response. He could also imagine the awkward reaction of the other party.
Blood Demon hung up the phone and turned around to meet Luo Nan's curious gaze. "The privacy of a small circle is very strong. If you want to find and enter a new place without an appointment, of course, you have to find the nearest local snake... They may be on the periphery, but they may also be a part of the circle. It mainly depends on their level."
"What kind of position is this?"
"Godson position."
"Huh?"
"The car's here... Godson sure is convenient."
Blood Demon gestured with his hand, and the two walked out of the storefront. There was already a car parked at the edge of the street cafe. Yes, it looked quite shabby. In fact, it was quite shabby. It seemed to be the traditional four-wheel drive type.
"Takar is an antique collector. He likes the Electric Age. The problem is that he needs to rely on the Information Age in order to make a lot of money."
The two sat in the back seat of the antique car. Blood Demon introduced Luo Nan to the person he was about to meet. "So this guy is a hypocritical fellow. He clearly has an amazing father, but he needs to rely on his godfather to pass his days.
"He's very keen on being recognized as a godson. This is nothing. But you need to remember one thing." Blood Demon had a serious expression. "We are of the same generation. You absolutely cannot let that fellow mess things up!"
