The Buddhist disciple pulled his two companions and said, "See how correct Master Sanhamu was. This Chinese captain is too outrageous. This person truly has a problem with his mind. We need to be careful, lest he suddenly goes mad and chops us up. Where would we go to seek justice?"
Lin Zhan: "Old Jiang, you think I should kill them?"
The Chinese squad members set off again, advancing rapidly in their previously arranged formation.
The lion warrior Babulu and the knight William held the ropes, the other end of which was tied to the captured Indian trio. On each of their three shiny bald heads was tied a soul gem.
In Lin Zhan's words: "Who knows if you're truly surrendering or pretending? Tying you up is for everyone's good. As for this gem, it's very expensive. See how beautiful its luster is? As long as you behave and don't have any other ideas, it's just a beautiful decoration. If you try any tricks, your bald heads will remain bald, but you'll just become idiot bald heads."
"Anyway, as long as people are alive, it doesn't count as me killing them. Whether they become stupid or not has nothing to do with me. Your three bald heads don't have high intelligence to begin with. As long as I hand you over, India will have to pay. Think carefully about not paying. If you owe me money, you owe my Lin family money. If you owe my Lin family money, you owe my two grandfathers money. Who will collect the debt then is uncertain. Anyway, my Lin family is a bunch of perverted murderers. Try to provoke us if you dare, otherwise, you have to obediently listen." Sudancn.
"Donor William, as the paragon of justice among knights, is this how you treat your human compatriots? Have you surrendered to the tyranny of Donor Lin? Can't you resist Donor Lin's atrocities for the sake of us, fellow humans? If even righteous knights fall silent, will humanity still have a voice of justice?" Our Buddhist disciple master was still tirelessly trying to persuade the honest knight.
"William, if I were you, I'd just go at him. Anyway, Captain Lin said as long as he doesn't kill them, it doesn't count as killing them," the lion warrior Babulu also couldn't stand the incessantly chattering master.
"Mr. Lin, I think we should talk." William approached Lin Zhan proactively.
"Talk about what? You're not really going to plead for these bald guys or try to resist me, are you?" Lin Zhan said jokingly.
"I am an upright knight, but I am not an idiot. I want to discuss with you, to make you pay a price for killing them," William said through gritted teeth.
"Damn, when this honest person gets angry, he's even scarier. William is learning to hire assassins," Ying Xuan heard William's words and quickly teased.
"Oh, boss, Brother William, let's have a good chat." Lin Zhan, upon hearing that business was coming, quickly changed his attitude.
Hearing the conversation between William and Lin Zhan, the bald trio wisely stopped their chatter and fell silent.
"William, you also know that these three bald idiots were specifically requested by the elders of my Lin family, so we can't just kill them casually. After all, they are fellow humans, and they didn't betray humanity like those special zones of Japan and America. It would be too unreasonable to kill them, right?" Lin Zhan began a new round of persuasion.
"Donor Lin is righteous. It was I who misunderstood you. You are the true leader of humanity's future." The Buddhist disciple, hearing that his life was saved, immediately began to flatter Lin Zhan.
"But we can think from another perspective. Look at the gem tied to the bald guy's head. That's a high-end item."
"That is a soul gem refined by our Huaxia's Human King Ancestor personally using lord-level mental system core. As soon as I detonate it, that bald guy will immediately be blown into an idiot. That thing targets the soul. There won't be any external injuries on the surface. Even a quasi-king can't detect it."
"Let's be clear between brothers. As long as you give me three lord-level cores, I'll turn all three of those bald guys into idiots. Anyway, they won't be dead, and I'll have an explanation for my elders. How about it, brother? Do you think this deal can be made?"
Hearing Lin Zhan's proposal, William was also very tempted. He, a royal knight heir of the Great Britain Special Zone, was actually tricked by a rogue monk with no integrity. If this got out, even their royal family would lose face.
If these three guys all became idiots, and then they paid Lin Zhan a hush fee, no one would know about this. The credibility of Chinese people is very good; they are a nation that values integrity.
"Mr. Lin, I agree with what you said. Furthermore, I am willing to pay 5 lord-initial-stage cores, but no one else can know about this matter. And I will give you these 5 cores after we leave. What do you think?"
"Of course, Mr. Knight. I have great trust in a knight's credibility and promises. However, this is not a personal matter for me, and some procedures are still necessary."
Lin Zhan, who was already overjoyed in his heart, quickly took out paper and pen. "William, please write me an IOU. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to my brothers. What do you think?"
After putting away the IOU from William, Lin Zhan, in a very happy mood, waved his hand and sped up.
The group arrived at the riverbank, and Lin Zhan sent his team members to search for a crossing point in the surroundings.
At the same time, he said to William and Babulu, "I'm planning to detonate the soul gems, but as it involves my Huaxia secret techniques, please excuse yourselves. William, you will see satisfactory results shortly."
Watching William and Babulu walk away, Ying Xuan, Zhang Haoran, and Jiang Zheng quickly asked, "Old Lin, are you really going to turn Brother Bald into an idiot?"
"Donor Lin, let's talk properly. As long as you show mercy, I am also willing to pay 5 lord cores, and I will pay immediately," the Buddhist disciple said hastily as Lin Zhan approached.
"Damn, this monk is so rich. Old Lin, why don't you squeeze him dry?" Ying Xuan quickly pulled Lin Zhan and said.
"Don't worry, I have a plan. This time, we must maximize the profit."
"System, do you have anything with the same effect as soul gems, but with a duration of 10 days?"
"Host, you are making things difficult for me. As a system with conscience, culture, and concern for society, how can I produce counterfeit and shoddy products? Unless... you have to pay more."
"Uh, how much?" Lin Zhan still underestimated the system's shamelessness.
"Ten thousand evolution points each. No bargaining, no discounts."
Under the system's suspicious gaze, Lin Zhan exchanged for 3 high-quality soul gems.
System: Host, why didn't you bargain today?
"Buddhist disciple, you have two choices. First, I will completely turn you into idiots."
"No need to say more, I choose the second option."
Lin Zhan...: "I haven't finished yet. Why are you interrupting? Don't you know who the protagonist is?"
