Chapter 353: A Grand Gift
Chapter 353: A Grand Gift
November 24, 2024
Afternoon.
Jiang Cheng was in the midst of pill refinement when a sudden knock on the door echoed outside.
Accompanying it was a familiar voice.
"Little brother, it's me. Open the door. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Brother Yang Chun?"
Hearing Yang Chun's slightly urgent voice, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to delay. He went to open the door.
Outside, in addition to Yang Chun, was the Tenth Rank Force Warrior who had escorted him in the morning.
"Little brother, stop your pill refinement for now. Director Yang asked me to bring you with me to meet someone." Yang Chun reached out to pull Jiang Cheng.
"Meet someone? Who?"
Jiang Cheng didn't dodge, but he didn't move either.
Yang Chun paused, "It's Director Wang Tong from the North City Enforcement Bureau."
"Wang Tong?"
Jiang Cheng's face was filled with confusion.
"I know you don't know him."
Yang Chun smiled bitterly, "But he's Xie Tian's backer. Otherwise, do you think that Xie Tian alone could do such a thing so openly?"
"I see."
Jiang Cheng understood.
"So, he knows that I did that thing, and he's here to settle the score?"
"Maybe he knows, but he's probably not here to settle scores with you."
Yang Chun explained, "This time, he only brought one bodyguard, who has some strength. But to take you away from here is too disrespectful, and even if he brings a few more people, we won't let him succeed."
"Then why is he here?"
A strange expression appeared on Yang Chun's face, "He wants to get to know you, and he has a gift he wants to give you."
"What?"
This time, even Jiang Cheng was confused.
After killing his henchman, it was like slapping him in the face, yet he not only didn't retaliate, but also wanted to give him a gift.
It was worth noting that he had already been added to the death list, and the only reason for not taking action was due to insufficient strength.
"Forget it. I'm not interested in meeting him."
After a brief daze, Jiang Cheng directly refused.
"Little brother, Director Yang also said so. But Director Wang is very persistent, saying that if you don't see him, he won't leave."
"After all, he's the Director of the North City Enforcement Bureau. He's been very low-key this time, and Director Yang is his junior, so it's not good to reject him. So, it would be good if you could go. If you don't want to, it's also fine."
Yang Chun was helpless, "But I guess he'll come looking for you directly soon. Little brother, why don't you go? Building a good relationship with these people will have its benefits for you in the future."
Jiang Cheng looked at him, thinking that today, no matter what, he would have to meet the other party.
Since it's like this, he might as well go and see, especially since he didn't know what the other party looked like.
The three of them headed towards Gu Changkong's villa.
As soon as Jiang Cheng entered, he felt several gazes concentrated on him.
Inside the room, besides Gu Changkong, there were three other people.
One of them was also from the Black Market, standing behind Gu Changkong.
The other two were unfamiliar, one sitting and the other standing.
"This must be Jiang Cheng?"
The middle-aged man on the sofa suddenly stood up, walking towards Jiang Cheng while speaking with a smile:
"I've long heard of your great name."
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed, "Who are you?"
Director Wang's smile froze.
"Brother Jiang, this is Director Wang from the North City Enforcement Bureau. He came specifically to meet you and brought a gift.
"Gu Changkong hastily said, "Oh."
Jiang Cheng responded indifferently.
"There's no need for a gift. I'm not that familiar with this person, and I've already met him. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
"Hold on, Jiang Cheng!" Wang Tong quickly retracted his hand, his face still filled with a smile, showing no signs of embarrassment.
"Jingshan, bring out that gift and let Jiang Cheng take a look."
Liu Jingshan took out a palm-sized box from his pocket. Inside was a small white sword that appeared incredibly sharp.
"This is an S-class psychic weapon, the Lightning Blade." Wang Tong chuckled, "I heard that Jiang Cheng has been busy with alchemy and doesn't have a psychic weapon, so I picked this out. It's not too valuable, but I hope you'll accept it."
Upon hearing this, everyone else in the room couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
An S-class psychic weapon, and he calls it not valuable? This is a weapon capable of harming a Grandmaster, and even the most ordinary S-class weapon is priced at over ten million.
If it's top-tier, it could be several tens of millions or even over a hundred million! Even Jiang Cheng was slightly tempted.
A few days ago, when he confronted Yang Chun, he didn't bring a weapon not because he didn't want to, but because his weapon was too low-grade to break through the opponent's defense, making his fists more effective.
As for a psychic weapon, he had never owned one.
Now, someone was offering him one, and it was an S-class psychic weapon. Until his psychic power reached the Grandmaster level, he wouldn't need to replace it.
But it was just a fleeting temptation.
With his current earning speed, he could afford not just a million-dollar psychic weapon but even one worth over a hundred million.
Why take someone else's gift, especially from someone like Wang Tong?
"I appreciate the gesture, Wang Tong, but I'd rather you take it back."
Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged.
At the same time, he was prepared to activate his psychic powers at any moment.
Wang Tong's smile froze on his face.
"Jiang Cheng," Gu Changkong quickly stepped forward, "This is a gift from Director Wang. I think you should accept it. This psychic weapon will be useful for a long time."
To be honest, Wang Tong's intention for this visit surprised even Gu Changkong, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
As the saying goes, it's better to resolve grudges than to let them fester, especially when the other party takes the initiative to visit and bring gifts. If Jiang Cheng accepted, it would be ideal.
Everyone has their youthful moments, and it's natural not to want one's edges to be smoothed out. But once they are, it's not a big deal.
"No need."
Jiang Cheng refused again.
If he accepted, wouldn't all his previous actions become a joke?
Questioning Wang Tong, understanding Wang Tong, and then becoming Wang Tong? There's only a zero or infinite number of times to cross the line.
After speaking, he strode away.
"Little Brother! Little Brother!"
Yang Chun hurriedly caught up, his face filled with anxiety.
In his opinion, Jiang Cheng's behavior was irrational.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling person, especially when this smiling person holds an extraordinary status.
"Jiang Cheng, won't you reconsider?"
At this moment, Wang Tong's voice turned cold, losing its previous kindness.
