Along the walls of the cave, two tiger-skin stone chairs were laid out. On the left chair sat Boss Tong, the same person from before. On the right, there was a stranger, wearing a black leather mask and a black Taoist robe, shrouded in an aura of gloom…
Standing next to the masked man's large tiger-skin chair was Bai Rui, who had just been hawking the thousand-year-old ginseng king.
It's obvious that the masked man is Bai Rui's boss.
"Boss Tong, you are truly blessed. You just returned from abroad and have already encountered this thousand-year-old ginseng king. This is what you have been dreaming of. After you eat it, your health will only get better and better." The one who said this was the masked man. His voice sounded somewhat muffled, probably because it was covered by a mask.
"Such good stuff, the boss should keep it for himself." Boss Tong's smile froze, as if he had vaguely sensed something.
"Hahaha! Good things should be shared." The masked man raised his head and laughed, his laughter somewhat eerie.
"I think the boss has ulterior motives."
"Boss Tong is indeed amazing! Then I won't beat around the bush." With his large left hand supporting his knee, the masked man leaned forward, and a chill suddenly swirled in the cave before slowly being pushed out of the cave entrance. Lin Fang couldn't withstand it, and her teeth chattered as she gasped for breath.
"If I only want the tools you have, I can give you this thousand-year-old ginseng king for free."
Tools? What kind of tools could possibly rival the King of Ginseng? The little prince was startled, and his spiritual energy almost leaked out.
"Boss, you've got a good plan!" Boss Tong nodded, stroking his smooth chin. A cold glint flashed in his narrowed eyes. "My stuff isn't something you can just trade for easily. The market always prioritizes reputation. I advise you to..."
"Slap!" The masked man slapped the tiger chair next to him, seemingly a little angry. "You can't say that. Boss Tong is just a human after all. Even if you have some strange and unorthodox methods, it will still be difficult for you to get her. How about this, I will take a step back, and we can each get what we want. I only want her blood and her heart and liver, which you can do with as you please."
"Don't think you're so great," Boss Tong sneered, slapping the tiger chair with his hand. "If you were so capable, you wouldn't have been injured like that three years ago. It's not that I look down on you, but I think it's better to leave this matter to me. That way, I can explain it to my boss. As for this thousand-year-old ginseng king, I'm going to have it today."
"How dare you say that! Humph! If you want the ginseng king, you'll have to see if you can get it." The masked man stood up abruptly, turned around, and suddenly opened his palm towards Bai Rui. The mahogany box in Bai Rui's hand flew into the masked man's hand with a "whoosh."
"Perfect timing to test the boss's skills." Boss Tong was no pushover either. Despite his seemingly clumsy body, he nimbly leaped onto the stone chair behind him, and at the same time, his right arm suddenly extended, reaching for the wooden box in the masked man's hand...
Just as he was about to reach the wooden box, the masked man suddenly leaned back, lowering himself by a foot and dodging the outstretched hand.
However, the other party did not give up. Taking advantage of the situation, he reached out and grabbed the box again, his fingertips accidentally hooking the red string on the box.
With a gentle flick, the red rope shot into the air and instantly landed. At the same time, a beam of white light shot out from the box, piercing everyone's eyes…
"They've escaped!" The masked man cried out as he opened his eyes to find the box already open.
