Chapter 198: Deal with Guo Peng
Otherwise, he had no chance of escaping that place, it would be his grave in there. Thinking like this he decided to not meddle in this thing at the moment, and also make sure to be extra careful in the future.
This planet where he got transmigrated was becoming more mysterious by the day. The presence of such an aura, in a place like this, confirmed that this wasn't an ordinary place.
With these thoughts in mind, Tianlong Yun continued to climb up the building to reach the rooftop. Now the clock was showing 12:07, he was late by more than 7 minutes.
When he reached the rooftop he saw a worried Guo Peng prowling in the middle, anxious of his arrival. He was thinking that Tianlong Yun might have voided their promise.
Seeing him prowl like that, made Tianlong Yun even surer, about the success of his plans. Satisfied at this he said calmly,
Tianlong Yun:" Stop prowling like that Mister Guo Peng, you are making me dizzy."
Guo Peng was scared and startled hearing his words, he was too concentrated on his thoughts, and scenarios of Tianlong Yun's arrival in here, that he had forgotten to look around him.
Recollecting himself after that short episode Guo Peng looked towards Tianlong Yun with a hopeful look and said,
Guo Peng:" Little Brother, you are finally here. I was starting to think that you wouldn't be able to complete your promise in the letter."
Tianlong Yun was a bit displeased being called 'little brother' by Guo Peng at such a situation but he didn't let it show and said determinately,
Tianlong Yun:" I am not an ordinary person Mister Guo Peng, my words are worth their weight in Gold. But let's forget about that now and let's talk about how much you are willing to pay for your son.
Let me tell you something first though, your son is poisoned by a really deadly and special poison. People who can save him can be counted on one's fingers."
Guo Peng was shocked, he didn't expect such a piece of news and such words. He would have never thought that his son would be a victim of poison, he had always thought he fell sick.
But, Tianlong Yun didn't seem to be joking either, quite on the contrary he seemed really serious about his words.
This raised even more questions and doubts inside him. Who was the one poisoning his son? What was the culprit trying to gain from all this?
Looking deeply in thought towards Tianlong Yun, he finally seemed to have awoken and said,
Guo Peng:" You know who the culprit is, don't you Little Brother? The snake you told me to be careful from is someone close to me, isn't it?"
Tianlong Yun had expected such a question from this man, and this was precisely what he wanted. Satisfied that everything was going according to his wishes he said,
Tianlong Yun:" Yes, I do know, Mister Guo Peng. But this information will cost you a lot. Furthermore, that person isn't an ordinary person.
I am sure that you have some knowledge over the cultivation and extraordinary world, seeing how you are acting in front of me. I am afraid that you can't face the snake in your lair, even if you knew who it was."
Guo Peng was getting more shocked by the moment until 3 days ago he had thought that these things were just illusions and dreams, but now he was forced to accept them as real.
Furthermore, one of these people had been living in his house all this time, and he didn't have the least clue of such a thing happening.
Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Tianlong Yun disappear from his previous position, and reappear in front of him.
He was even more shocked this was the last punch that woke him up to this new world. While Guo Peng couldn't believe his eyes, Tianlong Yun said calmly while making two steps back,
Tianlong Yun:" I think this answers your question, Mister Guo Peng. Now if you are ready we can start talking about the terms of our deal."
Guo Peng was shocked beyond belief but he also had a lot of experience on his shoulders. He wasn't the CEO and owner of a big pharmaceutical company for nothing.
Realizing that it was useless thinking about this situation at the moment, and recollecting himself he said,
Guo Peng:" What do you expect from me, Li-Young Master?"
He was about to call Tianlong Yun again Little Brother, but remembering about his strength, power, and status he immediately changed his form of address to Young Master.
Tianlong Yun wasn't surprised by this quick recollection of Guo Peng, this was normal for such a sly fox as he was. Thinking for a moment, Tianlong Yun said,
Tianlong Yun:" Well to begin with I really want the herb you promised. That herb is really important for me.
Of course, I wouldn't expect you to believe me immediately, I will give you the first dose of the Antidote today, and you will give me the herb in 2 days at most.
Together with that herb, I would request even other herbs at a value of 2mln $ in 4 installations, the same as the number of doses required.
I am sure having your connections, this condition will be a piece of cake, and you will surprise me.
But I would recommend you send your son somewhere secret, where the snake doesn't find out about his healing. Otherwise, all this would be for nothing and he will soon die."
The deal wasn't really bad for Guo Peng, actually it was much better than he expected. But, there were two points that Tianlong Yun left for his initiative.
First, who was the snake in his lair, that he should be careful from. And Second, what was the duration between the doses, because as long as Tianlong Yun controlled those, he controlled the life of his son.
And how would a sly fox like him let this two important keys to the deal escape the eye and he immediately asked,
Guo Peng:" What's the duration between the installations, can I receive all of them at the same time?"
Hearing Guo Peng's words Tianlong Yun showed a mocking smile on his face and said with a frighteningly calm voice,
Tianlong Yun:" Mister Guo Peng, I may look young and without experience, but I am not a fool, and I don't think you are one either. Those installations are my security card.
Furthermore, even if you had them, and used them at the same time, your son wouldn't heal. They need to be taken in a time period of 6 months from each other.
The earliest your son could heal is 2 years from now, I'm afraid. And that is only if you agree to our deal. Since you reminded me you have to add an extra .5mln$ for the ingredients of the Antidote."
Guo Peng wasn't a fool, he could see that Tianlong Yun didn't trust him and that he wasn't a fool or immature Young Master either.
No matter how much he didn't want to be in someone else's hands, he had no other choice. His son was the light of his eyes to him, he would do anything for him.
But there was still one mater still waiting to address, remembering it, he was a bit angry at himself for not noticing such a thing and in that frustration said,
Guo Peng:" And for the snake? I don't think you want him to find out about you, do you?"
Tianlong Yun knew that such a sly fox like Guo Peng, wouldn't let such an opportunity go, to learn some extra free information, but he still kept his calm appearance and said,
Tianlong Yun:" That has nothing to do with our deal Mister Guo Peng because you will do anything for him not to find out. After all, you don't want your son to die, do you?
Also trying to learn extra information from me like that is useless, but let me give you a hint as a gift of our first negotiation. There isn't just one snake in your lair."
As soon as he heard the first part of Tianlong Yun's words, Guo Peng knew that his trial had gone void, but hearing the second part made him even more frustrated.
Now he couldn't control his desire to know anymore. If he could, he would make them cry in pain in front of him, and beg him to end their lives.
He would torture them good for all they had done to his son, that was why unable to control himself he said hastily,
Guo Peng:" Tell me what do you want to give me their names?"
Tianlong Yun could see his frustration and anger, and he could understand his grief but that didn't mean he would pity him. With that thought in mind, he said unfazed,
Tianlong Yun:" Firstly calm yourself, Mister Guo Peng, at this moment even if I tell you who they are, you are just a small fry to them. I still don't understand why they haven't killed you yet actually.
As for what I want it's simple. I want you to work for me."
No matter how angry and frustrated Guo Peng was, he understood that what Tianlong Yun said was true. If they really were at least as powerful as Tianlong Yun in front of him, he had no chance against them.
So hearing Tianlong Yun's first words he tried to take a deep breath and calm himself down, but then hearing his next words he almost chocked with his breath.
He didn't expect such a request, or more precisely such an offer. He was beyond shocked at the moment, if that was possible.
He had always been the wealthy man, who put the conditions and made the deals. He was the one making others work for him, and never the opposite.
Such a guy was now getting such an offer. Noticing his line of thoughts Tianlong Yun said
