Chapter 67: Extreme Evils of the Capitalist Class

Wang Junming understood his old rival all too well. Many years ago, they were the first batch of members to join the Agency of Special Affairs, and had competed with each other. Later, when they became the chiefs of the Fu City and Xia City agencies, their competition grew even fiercer.

Often, the people who understood you the most were not your friends, but your enemies.

This was the kind of relationship the two men had.

It was due to this fact that he was able to react immediately, understanding that the Vajra Amulet must produce incredible results.

“Excuse me, if I may interject, may I ask what this Vajra Amulet is?” Wang Junming quickly cut in to ask.

Yun Sheng shot a look at Wang Junming but did not try to hide anything from him. Firstly, Lu Xuan was here in person, and there was no way to stop him from spilling the beans. Secondly, even though they were rivals, they were still on the same side, so he could not be so guarded.

There and then, he explained all there was to know about the Vajra Amulet to Wang Junming.

At that point, Wang Junming and Hua Xiaoyao, who stood at his side, were wide-eyed. It was an amazing mystical power that could actually resist bullets.

It must be pointed out that Wang Junming was only a Level 5 Baodan Grandmaster, and getting shot at by guns would leave him dead on the spot.

The ability to block bullets, even if only for a moment, could be the key to deciding a fight, especially for an expert like himself, and it might also save his life.

He could finally understand why Yun Sheng would rush here in a hurry.

At the same time, he also understood that he had completely underestimated Lu Xuan. The man’s true value was not in his frightening level of cultivation, but this ability to create talismans.

“Mister Lu, please sell us some as well. No matter the asking price, we want it all!”

Wang Junming immediately made his request. Even though these kinds of talismans would not be cheap, compared to a human life, the cost was not even worth mentioning.

“Old Wang, what are you trying to pull. I obviously asked for it first!” Yun Sheng scolded, enraged at once.

Wang Junming side-eyed Yun Sheng and said, “This kind of thing isn’t first come first serve. Mister Lu, no matter what price they are offering, we’ll pay you double!”

Wang Junming’s words instantly lit a raging fire in Yun Sheng. The small amount of camaraderie he felt with Wang Junming was now thrown to the wayside.

“Old Wang, are you picking a fight?” Yun Sheng said angrily.

“If you want to fight, come at me!” Wang Junming also refused to back down.

On the other side, Hua Xiaoyao had already hid to the side, trembling as she watched the two bosses about to trade blows.

The two men were both her superior officers, and neither of them were people she could afford to cross.

It was like the gods were fighting, and mortals like her could only suffer!

“Stop this ruckus, both of you!”

Just then, Lu Xuan, who had been observing the whole time from the sidelines, opened his mouth to speak.

“I have 200 Vajra Amulets on me now. Since you both want them, I’ll split it evenly between the both of you!” Lu Xuan said.

He did have a fair amount of Vajra Amulets on hand, as he had been gradually making more over this period of time, he just did not take them out. Drawing a few talismans every day, he quickly accumulated a stockpile of them.

In truth, he had 300 Vajra Amulets, but he had passed out the remaining hundred Vajra Amulets to his family, not intending to sell them.

As for the other 200 Vajra Amulets, he was in no rush to sell them, since there would always be demand for high-quality goods like these.

Even if Yun Sheng and Wang Junming did not want them, he could still sell his whole stock to Ling Huang.

“Fine then, this old geezer stumbled on a good deal!” Yun Sheng said despondently. Regardless, considering that he would get a hundred Vajra Amulets, he would be better off than before when he had none.

Next to him, Wang Junming’s expression was oozing with joy. He did not expect his visit to Lu Xuan to yield a serendipitous bonus reward.

A hundred Vajra Amulets was enough to last him a long time. This was especially true when they had to undertake some dangerous missions.

“It’s the same old deal. A hundred thousand per piece, and you get your goods when I get the money!” Lu Xuan announced.

Yun Sheng knew how this worked, and quickly nodded in agreement. On the other hand, Wang Junming was feeling the pinch. After all, it was a single-use item, and each use costing a hundred thousand could not be considered inexpensive.

Still, thinking about the lives it could save, a hundred thousand seemed a small price to pay.

The two men were upfront with their cash, immediately transferring the sum to Lu Xuan’s account. At the same time, Lu Xuan passed the 200 Vajra Amulets to both of them.

“Mister Lu, in the future, if you have more Vajra Amulets for sale, please inform me at once, and I will take all your stock. If you have any other kinds of talismans, I also want them!” Yun Sheng cupped his hands respectfully as he said this.

Wang Junming also stated at once, “I’ll buy everything you have; there’s no limit!”

To the side, Hua Xiaoyao was slightly stunned by the scene. Even though she had seen many things in the years since she joined the Agency of Special Affairs, she could not help feeling rueful as she watched Lu Xuan trade some talismans for 20 million. For some people, making money was just so easy.

She did some mental sums in her head, calculating her salary and bonuses, and found that she probably would not be able to make 20 million even if she worked until she retired.

Though her salary was already on the high end, earning 20 million was basically impossible for her.

At that moment, she truly felt what it meant to be living in a different world from others.

The extreme evils of the capitalist class!

“Okay, I’ll contact you again when I have stock to sell!” Lu Xuan waved them off as he replied. His cultivation now was a lot better than before, when he was drawing these Vajra Amulets.

Previously, he could only draw ten every night, because imprinting his own mental energy into the talisman was not such an easy task.

Presently, he could draw tens, or even over a hundred talismans, because of the power granted to him by his increased cultivation.

In the future, it would not be a pipe dream for him to easily produce hundreds of these simple Vajra Amulets.

This was the reason he did not place a lot of value on money, focusing completely on his own cultivation. He knew that as his cultivation level grew, earning money became effortless.

Even the lowest grade Vajra Amulets were selling for a lot. If he drew some other higher grade talismans or an enhanced Vajra Amulet, he could sell them for an incredible price.

“Then, we’ll take our leave!”

Yun Sheng and Wang Junming announced, after a quick glance at each other.

The three visitors quickly left the house.

Zhang Hongyang stood by the side, watching Lu Xuan, before he could not resist asking, “Young Master, I wonder if you could sell your servant some of these Vajra Amulets? Money is not an issue!”

“You want some too?”

Lu Xuan gave Zhang Hongyang a look. He did not doubt Zhang Hongyang’s financial capabilities, as, after all, he was a veteran martial arts legend, and it would be a huge joke if he had no money.

“However, these kinds of Vajra Amulets are low-grade talismans, and only good for blocking bullets. For someone like you, it’s probably not too useful!”

At this, Zhang Hongyang paused, then replied, “Even if it’s not useful for me, your servant has some disciples and followers, whose cultivation is not as strong as your servant’s. Moreover, they are in Southeast Asia—a place of chaos. If they had these Vajra Amulets, I’m sure they would have a better chance of staying alive!”

“I understand, I’ll sell you a hundred pieces too!”
