Chapter 776: Instant Take-down

“Okay.”

Su Ping quickly accepted the proposal.

Although he didn’t really care about the circle, he did see the regret in the red-haired young man’s eyes. The guy wasn’t as remorseful when he had to give away assets worth trillions.

I want everything that you’re reluctant to give away!

Besides, the circle could be useful, too. The people in that circle could be potential customers once he raised his first batch of Star State pets.

The young man held back his regret, seeing that Su Ping accepted. He said prudently, “That’s all I have. Can you spare my life now?”

Su Ping frowned and pretended to be thinking carefully.

“I don’t have anything left!” begged the red-haired young man when he saw that Su Ping was silent.

Nobody was around at the moment to witness his begging anyway.

It wasn’t exactly humiliating if no one was there to see it!

While he considered this, he suddenly saw a girl who had the most beautiful face he had ever seen!

He was stunned, feeling as though he had been smitten by lightning.

“Okay, I’ll release you after you transfer the things to me,” said Su Ping, seeing that he couldn’t get anything else from the guy.

“Do you swear?” the young man came back to his senses and quickly said, “You won’t go back on your word, will you? How about we set up a soul agreement?”

“What soul agreement? Never heard of it.” said Su Ping. He immediately declined since it was a weird thing that involved souls, “I’m a man of my word. I’ll let the matter rest if you don’t try this again. But don’t blame me for not showing mercy if you do offend me again.”

“But, it’s just your word...” the red-haired young man couldn’t help but remark.

“Who says it’s just my word? Do you not know how trustworthy I am? Why bother suspect me, I can kill you right now!” snorted Su Ping, pretending that he was too proud to lie.

Joanna was next to the pet room door; she couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she heard this. Her eyes went all the way up, mostly showing sclera.

A beautiful girl would still be beautiful when she rolled her eyes.

Of course, neither of the other two people in the shop were in the mood to appreciate her beauty.

“!!”

The young man was speechless and uneasy, seeing that Su Ping was reluctant to be bound. He certainly wasn’t convinced by Su Ping’s pretense!

Nobody who was honest and candid would have reached the Star State!

Not just the Star State, even those who were Fate State experts were either descendants of powerful forces or worldly, sophisticated folk.

“Okay, I’ll contact the mining groups and the corporations that I’ve invested in and ask them to transfer the money right now. As for the Star State circle, I’ll inform them first and let you know after I receive a reply.” The red-haired young man could only compromise, as he no longer had any bargaining chips.

“You’d better hurry,” Su Ping said, “Stay in my shop while you make arrangements. Don’t go anywhere.”

“Anna, keep an eye on him.”

“Yes.”

Joanna nodded and spoke in a pleasant voice.

The young man’s foul mood finally lessened after hearing Joanna’s voice. He looked at her; beautiful things were always enjoyable.

He felt a lot more relaxed, even thinking that it might not be a burden to stay in Su Ping’s shop.

The guy turned out to have such a beautiful girl hidden in his shop.

I’ve never seen a girl as beautiful as her, and she’s only at the Void State. Did he kidnap her from somewhere? This isn’t fair! The red-haired young man was secretly angry, as if he would have seen a flower lying over feces; he believed that even some Star Lords would have been attracted to the girl.

There were many beautiful girls in the world, but not all of them were strong.

All the beautiful girls who were at the top would kneel in front of experts. Joanna, in particular, was the most beautiful of all; her face alone had left him stunned and amazed.

It was at this moment that Joanna turned around and glared at the young man. “What are you looking at? I’ll gouge your eyes out if you keep staring.”

So beautiful.

She was so beautiful even when she yelled at someone!

Once again, the young man was amazed, but then snapped back to his senses. Being a Star State warrior, he kept his cool and avoided swooning over the girl. He frowned and said, “Do you know who I am? You’re just a Void State warrior. Where are your manners?”

He knew that, the more humble he was when interacting with such beautiful girls, the less they would think of him. He would only attract their attention if he treated them coldly.

“Humph. You think the Star State is something? Do you want to be beaten up?” Joanna rolled her eyes again. It was almost hilarious that a Star State guy would act contemptuously before someone with Ascendant State level.

Su Ping was barely able to avoid bursting out in laughter. The guy was trying to show off his cultivation in front of Joanna. Is he trying to get humiliated?

“You!”

The red-haired young man became furious. Did the girl see how I was begging to be spared and now thinks I’m a nobody that anybody can take advantage of?

I might as well show you some Star State moves, so that you know the Void State means nothing!

He snorted and simply applied space pressure.

His plan was to scare the girl. Sometimes, it was a better solution to impress such proud girls with strength!

However, Joanna emanated a dazzling golden light right after he took action. Then, she flashed, and a glowing spear pointed at the center of the red-haired young man’s eyebrows.

The whole shop became quiet!

The red-haired young man’s eyes widened in shock.

He felt as if his head were covered in an attraction force that was both horrifying and lethal. His target had already locked onto him!

He would be attacked if he did anything wrong!

The golden light enveloping the spear was dazzling and fierce, like that of the sun; it seemed able to destroy a planet at any time!

What kind of monster is this woman?

The red-haired young man suddenly felt frightened; he quickly realized that Su Ping had been pretending to be an Ocean State warrior, so the girl’s Void State level was obviously a disguise too.

What the heck?

Those two scoundrels liked to play dirty. It was truly unscrupulous to hide their strength all the time!

Su Ping was quite surprised. He knew that Joanna was strong enough to deal with the red-haired young man, but he didn’t know she was that good.

She defeated the enemy in one moment!

If she hadn’t gone easy on him, she probably could have killed him in one attack!

Even though the red-haired young man had just fought him and was quite weak at the moment—and he was defenseless—he was a Star State warrior nevertheless and Joanna was at the Void State, yet she had defeated him easily. She really was horrifying!

The instant outburst of strength seemed to have made use of her constitution and divine power in the most appropriate way... Su Ping’s eyes flashed. Even he didn’t see the attack clearly.

“Humph, behave.”

Joanna shook her hands, and the spear she had been holding was dispersed as golden light. The golden light on her skin also vanished as she snorted.

The young man was already covered in cold sweat. He nodded quickly, not even daring to breathe aloud.

The admiration in his heart based on appearances was also shattered.

When a man is humble enough, he would lose the ability of loving.

It was exactly the case for the red-haired young man, who felt devastated.

“Keep an eye on him inside the shop. I’ll go train the pets,” said Su Ping.

Joanna had shown enough strength for Su Ping to entrust her with the prisoner.

She frowned and asked, “You don’t need my company?”

“No. I’m tired of the dangerous places anyway, and I’m going somewhere else,” replied Su Ping casually, then entered the pet room.

Training? By himself?

The red-haired young man was quite shocked by what Su Ping had said. He finally noticed that Su Ping was running a pet shop. Is Su Ping also a trainer?

He felt that his heart had been heavily struck again.

I don’t know how good he is as a trainer. I’ll feel better if he only has five stars... the young man thought.

In the meantime—

In regards to the Central Continent—the Ryan family.

“What? Garland was caught?”

A mysterious realm was found on the mountaintop by the Ryan’s headquarters, a man who was as brawny as a bear changed his expression and looked at the two visitors in shock.

The astral power in that realm is very dense, and there was a hill of purple astral crystals in it. The purple astral crystals were surrounded by auras that could increase one’s odds of success when entering a state of epiphany, which could allow them to grasp new laws.

Three visitors stood in front of the brawny man. Two of them were the black-haired woman and the white-robed old man.

The third person was an old man wearing a purple robe. He was exactly O’Neil’s son and the current executive officer of the Ryans, who was responsible for all the family affairs.

O’Neil had spent most of his time training in the mysterious realm and only listened to his son’s reports in regards to what had happened outside.

“That man was bold enough to kill my grandson? How dare he!”

“You failed to defeat him even after living together? Is he in the mid-phase of the Star State?”

The brawny man was shocked and infuriated. His grandson being killed on his own planet was like a slap on the Ryans face.

“Probably,” replied the white-robed old man bitterly.

O’Neil was looking quite gloomy. He had not foreseen that the enemy was in the advanced phase of the Star State. Because, because if so, the two visitors before him couldn’t have survived.

“Is it true that he also killed a student of the Hugh Mia Academy?”

“That is correct.”

“!!”

O’Neil took a deep breath and fell into silence.

“Garland is still in his hands. We don’t know his current location,” said the black-haired woman with a worried gazed.

O’Neil’s eyes flashed. He finally said several minutes later, “Go figure out Garland’s situation first, and then find out the guy’s background. A guy in the mid phase of the Star State is qualified to become lord of a tier-3 planet. Why did I open up a shop here? It’s very weird!”
