The middle-aged martial artist looked at the person approaching, half his face was covered by the cape, and no one could tell the change in his expression.
The person approaching was a male of around age 45, plain-looking, and seemed extremely normal, his face was smiley, and respectfully bowed in respect, “Mr Huai, I’m extremely pleased to be able to meet you.”
A chuckle came from under the cape, “I’m very curious, how did you manage to find me?”
“Heaven Hook Huai Bai Hua, one of the three powerhouse of Lupus Constellation, a prestigious reputation, no matter where you are the glow can’t be hidden.” The male respectfully replied.
Huai Bai Hua knew that the person would never say the truth, and did not mind, he continued breezily, “I suppose, after spending so much effort to locate me, you wouldn’t be here just to exchange some niceties.”
“You’re indeed wise!” The male continued respectfully, “The purpose of this meeting, was to make a deal with Mr Huai.”
“A deal?” A chuckle came from under the cape, “Let’s hear about it.”
“Wu Tie Yu is now so overbearing, how can Mr Huai tolerate it?” The male was a face of respect, but his words stung, “Wu Tie Yu is narrow-minded, while Mr Huai is of a noble generation, definitely not one to depend on others, there must be a showdown.”
Huai Bai Hua was not moved, “Don’t beat around the bush, just be direct.”
The male smiled, “We are willing to lend a hand to Mr Huai, it’s a win-win situation for both our parties.”
“Your party? Who are you guys?” Huai Bai Hua looked like he had long anticipated it, and asked coolly.
“I’m from Onyx Soul.” The male replied.
“Then why did you guys come? I don’t believe that a mere Wu Tie Yu, would be of much interest to you.” Huai Bai Hua chuckled.
The male was secretly amazed, people who can dominate with their words, are no simple character, just a few words, without any warning, Huai Bai Hua has domineered. His face remained respectful, “We came for Tang Tian.”
Huai Bai Hua had roughly guessed it, but to hear the other party confess, the eyes underneath the cape still squinted involuntarily, and said, “To think that Tang Tian actually has connections with Onyx Soul!”
The male’s expression was calm, “We just need Mr Huai to hand Tang Tian over to us by then. In exchange, we are willing to gift Mr Huai a Star Treasure that does not pale in comparison to [Earthern Bear Wave]. In addition, we will send experts to reinforce.”
Huai Bai Hua sank into deep thoughts, suddenly, he asked, “Who’s behind Wu Tie Yu?”
“The Clan Union.” The male replied honestly.
Huai Bai Hua was extremely shocked, it was the first time that he lost control of his emotions, suddenly, he recalled Tang Tian’s background from the Honorable Martial Group, and finally realized that he was embroiled into the conflict of the three big powers.
A suffocating feel of the calm before a storm, made him extremely depressed. Lupus Constellation, which has been calm for a long while, had become the place of conflict between the three big powers. It was imaginable, the upcoming conflict, would be extraordinarily tragic.
Although the male’s face was filled with respect, Huai Bai Hua knew that he was powerless to reject.
Bell looked at the information in her hands, and scrutinised it. She was exceptionally sensitive towards information and intel, at her age, without any background or powers, to be able to become a Silver Onyx Horse, it was no easy feat.
There was not much content in the information, but she still found some clues.
Lupus Constellation was just a small constellation, and ranked last in the Southern Sky’s 42 Constellations. Besides Lupus Constellation, there were not any newly developed constellations, it has had a long history, resources or minerals, had long been explored. The barrenness of Lupus Constellation, was well-knowned. Besides, the meridians of the Lupus people, had been researched by numerous people in Onyx Soul, and had been found to be of not much value.
Such a place, to Onyx Soul, was worthless. Not only Onyx Soul, even the Honorable Martial Group ,and the Clan Union, were all not in the least interested in Lupus Constellation.
For a long time, Lupus Constellation had always been the land of the Lupus people.
Tian Zi Xi, Heaven Road ranking number 9370.
An Bai, Heaven Road ranking number 9503.
Mao Jun, Heaven Road ranking number 9632.
Bell was very familiar with these three names, she even had connections with Tian Zi Xi, all three of them were famous bounty hunters, who did not belong to any powers. The difference between bounty hunters and hitmen, were that as long as they were paid sufficiently, they would take on any case. All three of them were extremely valiant, and were experienced bounty hunters, with rich experiences.
To think that these three all appeared in Lupus Constellation, beside Wu Tie Yu, it was obviously to target Tang Tian and gang.
Bell understood the market, to be able to invite all three of them, a hefty price must be paid. Heaven Road’s Level martial artists, were usually paid 300 thousand Star Coins a day, so one could attract a few. Thus when Wu Guang heard that Tang Tian asked for 1 million a day, he agreed without second thoughts. While for Heaven List Experts, it would be another price. Mao Jun’s price was at least 2 million Star Coins a day, An Bai required 3 million, while Tian Zi Xi was priced at least 5 million per day.
The price of the trio, was at least 10 million Star Coins per day.
The trio had been to Lupus Constellation for more than 10 days, meaning 100 Million Star Coins have been spent.
Bell’s expression was grim, for it meant that the other party was not only rich, but was also no simple person. She could not be sure for others, but for Tian Zi Xi, she had some understanding of her, if it was not someone influential, she could never be hired.
The determination of the mastermind was plain to see.
By now Bell has calmed down, she got up, and scanned the surroundings, eventually fixing on a middle-aged uncle in the corner. Her eyes lit up, walked to the uncle’s table, and sat down.
