"Since Mr. Fang is so eager, I will get straight to the point. You should know the purpose of my invitation to come here today, which is to hand over the Original Mask."
The original mask is hidden in your heart. Unless you give it up voluntarily, even I will have a hard time getting it.
Of course, I never expected Mr. Fang to cooperate, so I…”
Yan Changshou stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, his eyes widening involuntarily, completely stunned.
He stared blankly at the Primal Mask that Fang Xiu had slapped on the dining table.
"Want it? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Fang Xiu casually tossed the Primordial Mask to Yan Changshou.
Yan Changshou subconsciously took the Primal Mask, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He picked up the mask and examined it carefully, only to discover that it was the real Primal Mask, not a fake.
This time, he was stumped.
He had specially prepared a strange creature that could control others, intending to use it to obtain the mask, but unexpectedly, Fang Xiu handed over the mask so casually.
No, doesn't this kid know that handing over the mask means he'll lose all his bargaining chips and get killed?
"Is there anything else?" Fang Xiu asked casually.
Yan Changshou was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and resumed his elegant demeanor.
"Mr. Fang is indeed straightforward. Now that you have handed over the mask, there is only one last thing left. Please, Mr. Fang, go to your death."
As he spoke, several scarlet tentacles emerged from Yan Changshou's sleeves, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed toward Fang Xiu, as if they were about to pierce countless holes through his body at any moment.
However, Fang Xiu completely ignored these hideous tentacles, his expression remaining unchanged.
Just as the tentacles were about to kill him, they suddenly stopped.
A surprised voice came from behind the tentacle: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"You talk too much nonsense."
A flash of anger crossed Yan Changshou's face, but after a moment he chuckled and slowly withdrew all his tentacles.
“Mr. Fang, you are truly the most peculiar person I have ever met. I am becoming more and more interested in you.”
"Oh? Really? I find you increasingly boring."
"Hahaha... Mr. Fang is indeed a remarkable person. I've decided to give you a chance, a chance to live, as long as you..."
Who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of giving me a chance?
Fang Xiu's calm voice instantly ignited Yan Changshou's fury, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Under such murderous intent, Yan Changshou could no longer maintain his human form. His entire right half of his body suddenly exploded, turning into countless hideous tumors and tentacles. Even half of his face disappeared, leaving behind a bloody mess, and the flesh was filled with countless black and white eyeballs.
Such a terrifying appearance would frighten even an ordinary spirit master, yet all it earned in return was Fang Xiu's mockery.
"Can't even maintain a human form? How ugly."
"Hahahaha..." Yan Changshou laughed in extreme anger, his mouth bursting out inhuman, ferocious laughter.
"Fang Xiu, no one can refuse the opportunity I'm giving you. Now you only have two paths before you: either cooperate with me and kill the minister at headquarters when he presents you with the award, or..."
Before he could finish his threat, Fang Xiu interrupted him again.
"I choose the first option."
Yan Changshou: "......."
He was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "You dare to play me?!"
In Yan Changshou's view, Fang Xiu was simply playing him for a fool.
First, he handed over the Primal Mask without any threats, which seemed quite sincere. Who would have thought he would turn around and start insulting me? He acted so tough, but just when I was about to threaten him, he turned around and wanted to cooperate!
Isn't this just playing with people?
Are you being tough or just following your heart?
In fact, Fang Xiu wasn't that bored. The reason he did this was mainly because Yan Changshou revealed part of his plan.
Kill the department head at headquarters during the awards ceremony?
He overheard a crucial piece of information, so he changed his mind and wanted to hear Yan Changshou's full plan.
"I'm not that bored. Let's talk about how we can cooperate, and what benefits I'll get after we cooperate."
Faced with the furious Yan Changshou, Fang Xiu replied casually.
Yan Changshou is now in a dilemma. If he gets angry, people will still want to cooperate with him; if he doesn't get angry, he'll feel really frustrated.
Consumed by anger, he threw out a piece of parchment covered with countless scribbles.
Just looking at it makes one feel uneasy and inexplicably palpitate, as if it contains some strange power.
Yan Changshou sneered, "You want to cooperate? Then show your sincerity first. Drip your blood onto the parchment; it contains a strange curse. As long as you..."
"It's finished dripping," Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out.
Yan Changshou: "......."
He had lost count of how many times he had been speechless. He remembered that the last time he was this speechless was when Fang Xiu had just agreed to cooperate.
Can't you even let someone finish speaking?!
Once this parchment is stained with blood, your life will be in my hands forever. You dare to spill blood so carelessly without even understanding that?!
Yan Changshou really wanted to lift Fang Xiu's skull and see what his thought process was like.
They clearly handed over the original essence and bled, cooperating perfectly, so why has it turned out like this now?
