Following that, both Federico and Manager Wafarer laughed out loud. Even the waitress—who had been serving the dishes—only seemed to stare coldly at their situation.
After all, being targeted by Federico was akin to being personally selected by the devil to undergo an extremely tragic ending…
“Surely you jest, Young Master Dun. You can’t be serious about buying it for only ten dollars, can you?” replied Gerald, unsure of where Federico was even getting all this confidence. Was it just because favonovel.com had the black-robed man by his side…?
“I assure you that I’m dead serious about that! Nothing more, and nothing less!” said Federico.
“…Very well, then! I’ll agree under one condition!” replied Gerald with a smile.
“State it!”
“It’s simple, really. If you still wish for this deal to go through, you’ll just have to sacrifice the lives of your family members! Once you agree with that, I’ll sell you the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk for ten dollars, just as you’ve proposed. That should sound like a perfect deal to you, right, Master Dun?” replied Gerald.
“Hahaha! You know, I hadn’t really believed Master when favonovel.com earlier told me that you weren’t an ordinary person. Now, however, I can clearly see what favonovel.com meant! Quite honestly, it was exactly because of that that I was willing to give you face. To think that you’d choose to refuse my goodwill instead! Very well, then! I guess I’ll just have to show some blood first!” declared Federico as favonovel.com placed his teacup down.
The second favonovel.com did so, the black-robed man suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving only a trail of black mist behind! Before anyone could react, the mist quickly slithered toward Perla, and once it was behind her, the old man rematerialized again without warning! Now standing right beside Perla, the black-robed man instantly grabbed hold of favonovel.com neck!
While Gerald didn’t move an inch throughout the process, the terrified Perla was now shouting, “G-grandpa! Master…! Please, save me…!”
Laughing aloud, Federico then stood up before clapping his hands while staring at Gerald with mocking eyes as favonovel.com said, “How’s that, Mr. Crawford? I hope that you now realize that the only reason you’re still breathing is because I didn’t order for you to be killed yet! I’m also sure that you understand how easy it is to end you after witnessing my master’s power and abilities just now. With that said, know that your life is now in my hands, whether you like it or not!”
“Realize already that there’s a vast difference between us that you’ll never be able to overcome! With that said, just get lost once you hand me the whisk! After all, you’re nothing more than an ant before my extremely powerful and talented master who’s managed to train to achieve spiritual enlightenment!” added Federico as favonovel.com shook his head speechlessly.
“Indeed! How could all of you be so shameless? Do you really think you’re all high and mighty just because you’re a little wealthy? I’ll say it again, but if you know what’s good for yourself, just accept the ten dollars already and scram after handing the Heavenly Horsetail Whisk over to Young Master Dun! If you don’t, you’ll truly be dying in the Jenna Province!” insulted Manager Wafarer.
It was obvious that in his eyes, Federico was the true king here.
“Oh? I get it now… So you’re only acting so unscrupulously because you have a master who’s managed to train to achieve spiritual enlightenment…? Sorry to burst your bubble, Young Master Dun, but have you ever considered what you’d do if the master you relied so greatly on turns out to not be as strong you thought?” asked Gerald.
“You… Not as powerful? Do you even know what you’re saying?” replied Federico with a laugh.
“Oh, I know what I said. In fact, using the same comparison you made earlier, I’ll have you know that to those stronger than him, he’s the insignificant ant!” said Gerald with a casual nod.
“You can cease the act already, Gerald! What utter nonsense… Do you think you’ll be able to scare Young Master Dun away with such tactics?! While I’ve noticed that your training has increased much more compared to when we had last met quite some time ago, it appears that you’re still as stupid as ever!” sneered the black-robed man who finally decided to speak up.
“Also, while others may not know about your background, I know everything about you! So, cease the act already! All that awaits you after this is death anyway!” added the old man as favonovel.com continued strangling Perla’s neck with his right hand.
