Chapter 80: What kind of monster is this exactly?_1

“Cough cough, it’s not actually that serious. Although this bracelet does have a thick malevolent energy, as long as it is transferred to someone with flourishing luck, it can still be controlled,”

Tang Feng couldn’t allow his plans to go awry and hurriedly found a way to circle back to the topic at hand.

“Alas, but where can we find such a person with flourishing luck at a moment’s notice?” Shen Tianyang couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

Tang Feng couldn’t help but straighten up, “To be honest, I am the seventy-second generation descendant of the Tianxuan Sect of Kunlun Mountain. At the age of twelve, I opened my Heavenly Eye, allowing me to see the path of life and death of all things, past and present lives. Even my master said that I am the person with the most flourishing luck he has ever seen…”

He concocted a whole bunch of nonsense, almost convincing himself in the process.

“You mean, you want me to sell this bracelet to you?” Shen Tianyang already caught the implication in his words and began to doubt again.

So after all the beating around the bush, he still wanted to buy his bracelet?

Tang Feng’s heart tightened and he spoke again, “Mr. Shen rest assured, I am not the type to covet small gains. How much were you planning to sell this bracelet for?’

He wasn’t one to covet small gains; if he were to covet, it would be for a big advantage.

“One thousand… five hundred million.” Shen Tianyang hesitated for a moment but still reported a figure.

Tang Feng nodded, “Alright, then I will buy this bracelet from you for the price of one thousand five hundred million.”

Shen Tianyan stood up again, looking at him with a mix of shock and uncertainty, “You… you’re really willing to spend one thousand five hundred million to buy it?”

In truth, the one thousand five hundred million he mentioned was the expected highest price at auction.

In a normal transaction, this bracelet would at most be worth one thousand two hundred million.

But to his astonishment, Tang Feng agreed without bargaining.

This left him completely flustered.

Even Qin Yanan was alarmed and quickly tugged at Tang Feng’s sleeve, “What are you thinking?”

Although she really wanted to help Shen Tianyan, she couldn’t let Tang Feng act foolishly.

The bracelet might not be worth one thousand five hundred million.

Even if it were worth that much, it would probably be difficult to sell.

She didn’t want to see Tang Feng doing a good deed, only to end up in debt.

When it came down to it, kinship and closeness became clear.

She might respect Mr. Shen and not wish to see him suffer, but she was closer to Tang Feng, relatively speaking.

Tang Feng turned back and showed her a reassuring smile, then looked at Shen Tianyan again, “What do you say, Mr. Shen? As long as you agree, I can transfer the money to you right now.”

Shen Tianyan looked at the wooden box in his hands again, still somewhat hesitant, “Mr. Tang, could you give me a few days to think about it? I will contact you once I’ve made my decision.”

“No!”

“Why not?”

“Because, you might not live through these next few days.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Tianyang was getting more and more confused the more he listened.

Having completely lost his patience, Tang Feng made his point clear, “Is there surveillance outside your antique store?”

Shen Tianyan, not understanding why Tang Feng had brought up the antique store again, nevertheless nodded honestly, “There is.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Feng smiled faintly, “Then have your employee pull up the footage from 11:22 to 11:38 and send it to you. You’ll understand once you watch it.”

Shen Tianyan, puzzled by Tang Feng’s precise timing, was immediately perplexed.

But despite his confusion, he still did as Tang Feng suggested, sending a message to his employee in the store.

The employee quickly sent over a clip of the surveillance footage to his phone.

Curiously, Shen Tianyan opened the video, with Xi Shuqin also leaning over to take a look.

The video initially showed nothing amiss, but after two seconds, a person suddenly appeared at the entrance of the antique store.

Shen Tianyan and Xi Shuqin didn’t pay much attention at first, assuming it was just someone tired from shopping, taking a rest there.

But they quickly realized something was wrong.

The person kept sneaking peeks into the store without entering, and his gaze continuously swept down the street.

Under normal circumstances, the video might not have aroused Shen Tianyan’s suspicions.

But he now fully believed Tang Feng’s words and immediately discerned something was off.

This person was scoping out the place.

A chill shot up his spine.

He hadn’t expected to actually be targeted by someone.

The video continued until the man finished scoping and left, then abruptly ended.

“Mr. Shen, it seems we really are in danger. What do we do now?” Xi Shuqin turned pale as she looked at her husband.

“What to do? I’ve no idea what to do,” Shen Tianyan was also completely beside himself.

Going to the police was definitely out of the question; just this single piece of footage would surely not be enough for the Public Affairs Hall to take action.

Xi Shuqin suddenly turned towards Tang Feng, “Why not follow Mr. Tang’s advice and sell the bracelet to him?”

“No, that would be putting Mr. Tang in danger! I can’t do that kind of thing,” Shen Tianyan, being quite principled, immediately rejected the suggestion.

Tang Feng was so irritated he felt like slapping him twice.

I love danger.

I was born for danger.

However, he quickly calmed down, his face revealing an inscrutable smile, “Mr. Shen, your concerns are unnecessary. If those people don’t come for me, that’s fine, but if they dare to come after me, I assure you they won’t return the way they came.”

As he spoke, he slowly picked up the ceramic teacup in front of him and squeezed it with a sudden force.

“Crack!”

The teacup was crushed in his hand, and the shards scattered across the table.

Shen Tianyan, Xi Shuqin, and even Qin Yanan besides them were all stupefied.

Although the teacup was made of ceramic, it was very hard.

Yet he crushed it with two fingers, which demonstrated how strong he was.

Yet Tang Feng’s face showed no smugness, as if he had done something utterly trivial, “I’ve practiced martial arts since childhood and acquired extraordinary skills.”

“I won’t boast much, but ordinary small-time thieves, even ten or eight of them, I can handle with ease.”

Qin Yanan gazed at his profile like a dumbstruck goose.

In one day, the abilities he displayed, one after another, overturned her understanding.

His talent for appraising treasures aside, there were also his makeup skills, medical skill, physiognomy skill, and now martial arts.

A person’s energy is ultimately limited.

Mastering any one of these skills would already make one a remarkable talent.

Yet this man seemed to be capable of everything, skilled in all areas, and exceptionally so.

What kind of creature was he?
