Chapter 1920: A Special Method
A mere piece of charcoal, Luo Yang didn’t care.
Luo Yang glanced at The Tenth Mu Tan and saw it seemed a bit impatient.
If The Tenth Mu Tan took action, it might spoil things.
After all, it was still uncertain whether the woman in front of him was the mysterious Japan Collector.
From intuition, Luo Yang felt this Jing Tian Wuhou was still a counterfeit.
That mysterious Japan Collector was very cautious, reluctant to show up easily.
Signaling to The Tenth Mu Tan, Luo Yang said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, it’s possible, but what if you switch my charcoal?"
Jing Tian Wuhou slightly smiled, took out a check from a caramel-colored LV shoulder bag, and gently pushed it in front of Luo Yang. There was a 1 on it, followed by many zeros, roughly judged to be a million.
Looking at the check, Luo Yang smiled and said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, you give me a million, but if you take the charcoal away, I still lose."
Jing Tian Wuhou’s expression dimmed slightly, and she pondered.
"Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, how about this, I give you a poison to take, only I have the antidote. You take the poison, I’ll give you the charcoal to study, and when you buy the charcoal or return it to me, I’ll detoxify you, how’s that?" Luo Yang said.
This was the best opportunity.
As long as Jing Tian Wuhou took the Master Servant Pill, there would be a chance to find out her true identity.
However, Jing Tian Wuhou refused, saying, "Mr. Luo, your condition, I cannot accept."
Yiye Bupo translated once more and then said, "Mr. Luo, isn’t a million not enough for you?"
With a faint smile, Luo Yang said, "Mr. Yiye Bupo, then tell me what exactly you all want to study? Last time you said there were voices in the charcoal, that’s the charcoal you wanted to buy. Now you have another excuse to say you need to study the charcoal. I can’t help but suspect that you want to take my charcoal away."
At this time, acting might lead to capturing Jing Tian Wuhou alive.
However, there was a problem.
If Jing Tian Wuhou wasn’t the mysterious Japan Collector, there wouldn’t be another chance to capture the mysterious Japan Collector alive in the future.
Doing such a thing once would alert the prey.
Judging by those two bodyguards, Luo Yang figured he could easily take them down without the help of The Tenth Mu Tan.
At this moment, a waiter came in, and Luo Yang said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, let’s order some food and talk while eating."
Since Luo Yang made a proposition, the atmosphere in the room had become much more silent.
With food, when not talking, they could occupy themselves with eating to alleviate the boredom.
After ordering, the waiter left.
Luo Yang continued, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, what kind of charcoal do you want to buy exactly?"
If he could find out the characteristics of the charcoal, he could have The Tenth Mu Tan make one.
Jing Tian Wuhou pondered again for a while before saying, "Mr. Luo, I’ll give you another two million, how about that?"
Smiling, Luo Yang waved his hand and said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, why don’t you just buy the charcoal, take it back, and study it thoroughly? Isn’t that better? You can afford it, right?"
Jing Tian Wuhou coldly smiled, then pondered again.
She then placed an instrument on the charcoal, carefully listening to the sounds inside.
Seeing her focused demeanor, Luo Yang wanted to laugh.
This piece of charcoal definitely wasn’t what Jing Tian Wuhou was looking for.
In Luo Yang’s opinion, she was looking for something like The Tenth Mu Tan.
Until the waiter brought the food, Jing Tian Wuhou was still studying.
Luo Yang was racking his brain, thinking of a way to make Jing Tian Wuhou swallow the Master Servant Pill.
After much contemplation, there were only two options.
One was to use force, the other was to exchange conditions.
Each had its advantages.
For instance, using force was simple and direct; capturing Jing Tian Wuhou would get the job done.
However, the downside was that while she might not know what happens after consuming the Master Servant Pill, she would certainly have suspicions.
As a result, approaching Jing Tian Wuhou in the future would be very difficult.
This also required Jing Tian Wuhou to be that mysterious Japan Collector.
If she wasn’t, it would be troublesome.
While pondering, he heard Jing Tian Wuhou say, "Mr. Luo, I am conducting research in the hotel room."
Luo Yang chuckled and said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, in the end, you still want to study. I’m not stopping you from studying it. Why not just buy it? If you don’t want to waste that money, just take my poison and I’ll let you study the charcoal, isn’t that fair?"
Jing Tian Wuhou shook her head again.
At this point, The Tenth Mu Tan seemed to be getting a bit impatient, and said coldly, "Do you have a Soul Bead?"
It was asking Jing Tian Wuhou.
The sudden voice from The Tenth Mu Tan startled Luo Yang.
It was said that The Tenth Mu Tan was mute, but now it spoke.
Jing Tian Wuhou was also slightly surprised, staring at The Tenth Mu Tan for a long while.
When Jing Tian Wuhou looked at Luo Yang with a puzzled expression, Luo Yang gave an awkward smile and said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, listen to me. I said it’s mute because it’s not good at negotiating price. That’s why I’m talking."
Slightly nodding, Jing Tian Wuhou said coolly, "Are you saying you have a Soul Bead?"
The Tenth Mu Tan was about to speak, but Luo Yang quickly signaled it.
Currently, the issue with the charcoal wasn’t settled, bringing in the Soul Bead would complicate things.
Although The Tenth Mu Tan didn’t have to follow Luo Yang’s orders, Luo Yang clearly indicated for it to stop talking, so it just glared and stayed silent.
Jing Tian Wuhou turned to look at Luo Yang again, smiling, "Mr. Luo, you seem to have a disagreement?"
Luo Yang nodded and said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, you’re really clever. It likes to bargain but isn’t good at it. I kept telling it not to speak, yet it keeps wanting to."
With a change in topic, Luo Yang continued, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, can you tell me what you really want to do with the charcoal?"
If she claimed it was for collection, Luo Yang would not believe it.
After all, charcoal of this nature possessed immense power.
Obtaining it, of course, required it to be willing to follow, effectively becoming an invincible bodyguard.
With the help of the Mu Tan Ten Brothers, one could accomplish many things.
But Luo Yang couldn’t figure out, no matter what Jing Tian Wuhou’s background was, assuming she was the mysterious Japan Collector, she still lacked the ability to control the Mu Tan Ten Brothers.
Unless there was a special method to make the Mu Tan Ten Brothers obey, which was a possibility.
"Mr. Luo, I have already said I am a collector, I like strange things in the world, and I want to buy it," said Jing Tian Wuhou.
Such words made Luo Yang silently sneer.
Jing Tian Wuhou wouldn’t divulge, and Luo Yang temporarily had no way to deal with her.
"Come on, let’s eat first." Luo Yang said.
There were several people in the room, even if he made Jing Tian Wuhou take the Master Servant Pill, it would be hard to interrogate her.
If he could get the two bodyguards out first, it would be easier.
Luo Yang then said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, are these two your bodyguards?"
Jing Tian Wuhou nodded, indicating that was the case.
