Even Master Long was startled when he saw the person suddenly barge in.
He was always cautious in his actions; even when he went inside, he would leave four people guarding the outside.
How exactly did Chen Sijin and his humanoid puppet get in?
"What a pity. It's a good gun, but it only has six bullets." Si Jin tossed the gun aside, dissatisfied. "I didn't even get to have a proper go at it before it was all gone."
The Heavenly Lord smiled and handed over another gun, gently coaxing, "It's alright, we've already stolen four, here's another one."
Two men of similar height stood together, discussing bullets and guns as if they were having a casual conversation.
The scene is both harmonious and eerie.
Upon seeing this, the dozen or so men behind Master Long immediately became alert, each raising their guns and pointing them at Si Jin: "Where are our four brothers outside? Did you kill them?"
"No, I just knocked him unconscious." Si Jin shook her head, her tone as kind as could be.
Since he was going to talk to Master Long, he wouldn't go so far as to kill them all at the beginning and provoke them.
He chuckled: "I hate fighting and killing the most. I've heard that Master Long doesn't like killing either. Since we share the same values, why can't we have a good chat?"
Master Long frowned, his big, green bean-sized eyes darting around.
After staring at Si Jin for five or six minutes, seemingly confirming that he posed no immediate danger, he ordered his men to lower their guns and laughed twice: "Young man, you have some guts."
"But Chen Yiwei already signed an agreement with me, agreeing to sell you to me. How do you want to negotiate with me?"
“Master Long speaks frankly, so I won’t beat around the bush either.” Si Jin took the gun and walked a few steps toward Master Long.
"I believe that what Master Long is trying so hard to buy is a puppeteer with extraordinary abilities, and this puppeteer doesn't necessarily have to be called 'Si Jin,' right?"
Master Long didn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, Chen Yiwei lied to you." Si Jin injured Chen Yiwei's ear, gave him blood that could restore his bodily functions and even enhance his puppeteer abilities, and allowed him to receive treatment safely in the hospital—all for this moment…
Upside down, reversed, black, white.
He said, "I am not a skilled puppeteer at all. The puppet show in the circus was not me controlling Chen Yiwei, but Chen Yiwei controlling me."
"Chen Yiwei gathered black market buyers just to use me as a gimmick to swindle your money."
"Actually, I don't know puppetry at all. The person who truly has the power of a top-level puppeteer is Chen Yiwei. You've really been tricked and lost out by buying me."
His words were so outrageous that neither Master Long nor the dozen or so people behind him believed them.
But soon, Lin Yuan cooperated and took out a magic disc for testing the blood level of puppeteers.
Si Jin dripped blood onto it, and all that was revealed was—a low-level puppeteer.
But offering Chen Yiwei's blood again reveals that he is a top-tier puppeteer.
At first, Lord Long didn't believe it, but he insisted that his men take the magic disc and get the same result before he finally came to his senses.
OK!
Chen Yiwei has some nerve; he even dared to lie to him!
Master Long's face darkened. Only after confirming that the four people outside who had been taken down by Si Jin were truly out of danger did he finally believe in Si Jin's sincerity.
Enraged, he ordered his men to take Chen Yiwei, who was groaning and covering his ears, back to the palace: "Torture him properly, let him experience what it means to wish he were dead, and then make him practice puppetry so he can be our money-making tool!"
When he left, he even left his bank card number as a way of thanking Si Jin, saying he wanted to transfer money to him.
