Chapter 889 - Peace for Sale! (2/2)

Wang Baole’s eyes narrowed when he heard what Xie Haiyang had said. He had a vague feeling that there was another layer of meaning hidden beneath those words. He couldn’t tell what it was right now though, so he kept quiet and waited for Xie Haiyang to continue speaking.

“But Brother Baole, I think what you need now isn’t a way to break the seal or teleport away but… peace!”

Wang Baole’s eyes flashed, and he spoke coolly.

“Brother Haiyang, what… do you mean by that?”

“Brother Baole, I’ll be honest with you. I sell everything and anything here, including… peace!” Xie Haiyang smiled, his voice filled with confidence as he spoke.

“Peace? How do you sell that?” Wang Baole frowned. He seemed doubtful and wondered if he was going to be persuaded to buy himself a guard.

“By selling Peace Tokens. You can track the validity period using the Federation calendar. Each token is valid for one year. Basically, no one will dare give you trouble after you buy a Peace Token. When you bump into enemies, just show them the Peace Token. They’ll retreat a hundred light-years away at the sight of it. They’ll probably wish they can fall to their knees and beg for mercy.” Xie Haiyang explained the functions of the Peace Token. His sales pitch sounded compelling.

Wang Baole seemed doubtful after hearing what Xie Haiyang had said, then he asked for the price of the token. A strange look settled on his face after Xie Haiyang replied. In his head, there was a stampede of horses thundering across the plains. After a moment, he ended the voice transmission without saying anything.

His voice transmission jade slip vibrated in the next moment. Xie Haiyang’s awkward laughter drifted out from the device.

“Baole, Baole, listen to me…”

“You can stop talking. I can’t afford it!” Wang Baole said coolly.

“Why are you getting upset again? I’m not done talking. We’re brothers, after all. Besides, you’re a very important customer to me. How about this? I’ll let you try the token out for a month—a month’s worth of peace for free. If you’re satisfied with the product after the month is up, you can buy the actual product from me then. What do you say to that?”

“Xie Haiyang, why do I smell a rat in this? Are you sure that this Peace Token of yours is safe?” Wang Baole frowned. He had a feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

“I’m a businessman, so I take responsibility for everything that I sell. Hold on to the token, and show it to your enemy if you bump into any of them. I swear they’ll retreat at least a hundred light-years away. The cowards amongst them may even die of fright on the spot!” The sound of thudding emerged from the jade slip. Xie Haiyang appeared to have hit his palm against his chest as a gesture of assurance.

Wang Baole couldn’t be bothered to dwell further on this matter. He didn’t have to pay a single cent, after all. Besides, he wasn’t concerned with the token. His mind was occupied by Xie Haiyang’s promise to break the seal and teleport him away. He nodded before moving on to discuss the details of breaking the seal with Xie Haiyang. After the voice transmission ended, a bright light erupted from the voice transmission jade slip in his hand. The jade slip’s appearance shifted and finally settled into a white color. It was still a jade slip, but an inscription had appeared on it.

The inscription wasn’t written in any known language. However, the word “peace” would appear inside one’s head whenever one looked at it.

Wang Baole studied the token for some time, then narrowed his eyes. He was extremely alarmed by how Xie Haiyang had been able to transform a voice transmission jade slip into what he had called a Peace Token so effortlessly. At the same time, such capabilities gave him pause.

If he has the power to do this, then breaking the seal shouldn’t be a challenge for him. He said that he needed fifteen days, but that’s probably an excuse… Did Xie Haiyang plan to give me this token all along? Wang Baole stared at the token, and his eyes flashed. After some thought, he put the token away, then looked at the seal before him. Finally, he turned away and left.

There was a great likelihood that Xie Haiyang had intended to give him this token. Wang Baole was going to find out his true intentions for doing so.

Is he trying to sabotage me? Wang Baole vanished and reappeared in another location in the Earth Spirit civilization. He froze in his tracks as that particular thought popped into his head.
