Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: Will You Take Me With You?

When Su Su heard the number 50 million gold next to you, her beautiful eyes lit up, 50 million gold, which is equivalent to the financial income of a Human Empire for three years. Afterward, the admiration and joy in her eyes deepened when she looked at you. This man in front of her was not only tall and handsome, with great strength, but also incredibly wealthy, the ideal husband in a woman’s heart!

"Cough, well, I did help you a while ago, and I still have to cover for you with the Half Orcs later, so, you know..."

"Cut it out, just say you want money."

You searched the bodies of four Lizardmen and found three checks and two bags of gold, preparing to give them to Gangdan. However, Gangdan didn’t take them and instead looked at you with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"What, you think it’s too little? The checks alone are worth 3000 gold, that’s not a small amount."

"Well... hey, you know, even though I have an Undying body, I am still a Wizard. For the past twenty years, I have been researching a Final Stage Undead Magic..."

"Tell me, how much do you need?" You knew that without Gangdan, you wouldn’t have been able to get so much gold from Du Bin.

"One... ten million."

The ultimate undead magic that Gangdan was researching indeed required a lot of funds, and besides you, no one he knew could raise such a vast amount of money in a short time.

With no other choice, Gangdan had to bite the bullet and ask you for a loan, and in fear of being refused, he quickly added, "I’m borrowing this from you, and as an interest, I’ll give you a Sub-Divine Artifact Level knife."

"Oh?" Hearing it was a Sub-Divine Artifact Level knife, your eyes immediately lit up.

"This knife has no name; it was one of the personal weapons of a Human Warrior who challenged the Father God hundreds of years ago."

"There was such a person, why don’t I know his name?"

Challenging the Father God, how much courage and strength that must have taken.

"No one knows his name, he appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared just as quickly. It’s said that he defeated the Father God, boldly proclaimed that no one in the world could match him, and then with a slash of his knife, he opened a rift to another world. After he left, the blade split into five pieces, scattered in corners of the world. Over forty years ago, when I subdued a death dragon, I found this knife on the dragon’s back, and since the teeth on the knife’s back resembled the Tusks of an animal, I named it Tusks."

And then, Gangdan made a grand gesture, and immediately a sharp whirlwind began to swirl in the air, and a big blade enveloped in the wild wind appeared in front of the three of them. The knife’s design was very simple, with a black handle and a straight, long blade; apart from the serrated edges that resembled a wolf’s fangs on the back of the blade, the overall appearance was not much different from the long knife you bought in a blacksmith’s shop.

You stepped forward and grasped the black handle of Tusks, and the moment you gripped the handle, the originally moving air currents immediately calmed down until they disappeared.

You held Tusks and sized it up and down, then drew the long knife from your back, and the two knives clashed against each other.

Contrary to your expectations, Tusks, gifted by Gangdan, cut through your purchased long knife like slicing tofu, and what’s more peculiar, Tusks made no noise when cutting the long knife, only when the sliced half fell to the ground did it make a "clang" sound of metal.

"This knife cuts through iron like mud, incredibly sharp. I’m a Magician, even if the knife is sharp, it’s of little use to me."

Not only is the knife sharp, but also it can absorb the Wind Element from the air, which made you even more thrilled inside.

Even top mages couldn’t sense the secrets hidden in the blade due to Gangdan’s concealment, which goes to show that this knife was custom-made for you.

Wait a minute!

Custom-made!?

This world was created by Li Zichen using the Power of Reincarnation from Liu Dao, and in essence, it’s akin to the Order Barrier within the Map of Kingdom.

In the Map of Kingdom, the reason you failed is because The Heavenly Emperor is the symbol of order!

But here, it’s different. The Power of Reincarnation isn’t owned by Li Zichen; he just borrowed it, and the workings of this world aren’t under his control, otherwise this knife and the "God of War" wouldn’t exist!

Whether it’s this knife in hand or the "God of War," they already indicate that this world isn’t newly established; it might have existed a long time ago, possibly founded by Liu Dao itself, and the purpose for which he established this world is unknown to you, but one thing is already clear.

So, as long as you possess absolute power, the power to kill Li Zichen, you could shatter this world!

Thinking this, you didn’t hesitate, immediately inserting the ’Tusks’ back into the sheath on your back, and pulling out a ten million gold check from your chest and handing it to Gangdan. Gangdan accepted the check, speaking sincerely, "Mu Yun, I have a word of advice for you; I don’t know if you want to hear it."

"Please, speak."

"You are not meant for a simple pond; someday, you will turn into a dragon. But before that, while your power is still weak, I hope you keep a low profile as making powerful enemies now clearly isn’t wise."

You smiled lightly and said indifferently: "It’s in my nature; I’m destined not to lie low. I have a fault—if someone treats me well, I repay them tenfold; if someone treats me poorly, I repay them a hundred, even a thousandfold. I am a fugitive; the meaning of life for me lies only in living brilliant, beautiful days. Asking me to keep a low profile is impossible. All intelligent beings have a trait—they bully the weak and fear the strong. The more you show weakness, the more they will bully you. I don’t want to talk more than necessary, or the readers might think I’m dragging my feet."

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade you, Gangdan sighed, "If that’s the case, then I won’t say more. You best take care of yourself; I will pay back this ten million as soon as possible."

"No need to pay it back, consider it the money I spent on this Sub-Divine Artifact."

"This..." Gangdan hesitated, since everyone knows that even a good few million gold would be a great deal for a Sub-Divine Artifact.

"Alright, it’s getting late, I still have other things to tend to, I’ll be going now."

You waved at Su Su, who followed you downstairs with a swirl of fragrant breeze.

Exiting the restaurant, you turned to Su Su, "You go back first, I still have a mission to execute. After completing it, I’ll come to pick you up."

Su Su didn’t speak, but her eyes were brimming with glistening tears, fixated on you, evoking infinite pity in your heart, wishing you could hold her forever and never part.

"Su Su..."

Before you could speak, Su Su, carrying a charming scent, threw herself into your arms, looking at you with eyes full of tender affection, whispering, "Can you take me with you?"

PS: Yesterday, a book friend in the chat group privately told me that the purpose of the subplot is just to let the protagonist and a few female leads fall in love—talking such harsh truths!
