Sole Sword Supremacy

Chapter 364: Proof of Allegiance


"Master of All Things, what is your relationship with him?"

Not giving a definite answer to Wang Junze's words, Dugu Feng's gaze fell on Master of All Things, and she coldly asked.

With just this sentence, it was clear that Dugu Feng recognized Master of All Things and also knew the background behind him.

"In response to Lord Dugu, I only encountered Brother Ye by chance."

Facing Dugu Feng, Master of All Things dared not be arrogant in the slightest, and he honestly bowed and saluted, saying, "As for why I am here, it is because Brother Ye previously agreed to have me sell the Meng Family's assets... I take a thirty percent commission!"

He paused for a moment, and then a smile appeared on Master of All Things' face again, as he smiled and explained, "Of course, all of this is on the premise that you are willing to accept him; otherwise, just consider that I was never here."

This sounded like submission, but in reality, it was also hidden with barbs.

Although Master of All Things feared Dugu Feng, he was not intimidated to the point of relinquishing this portion of profit easily just because of Dugu Feng's status.

The meaning of these words was simple: if Dugu Feng decided to kill Ye Piaoling, it would be over, but as long as she accepted Wang Junze, it would mean acknowledging his previous transaction with Wang Junze. Even if Wang Junze wanted to offer all of the Meng Family's assets, he would still have to share that thirty percent profit with him.

Additionally, there was another layer of meaning: he would also support Wang Junze within limits for this thirty percent profit.

Dugu Feng could refuse, but if she did, it would be cutting off a source of fortune for him, or to be more precise, cutting off a source of fortune for the person behind Master of All Things.

He could give Dugu Feng this face, but Dugu Feng must remember this favor.

"Rest assured, whether or not I kill him, I will give you this thirty percent!"

Waving her hand, Dugu Feng's eyes revealed a trace of impatience, as she replied indifferently.

"Then thank you, Lord Gu Du!"

With a sycophantic smile on his face, Master of All Things immediately retreated a few steps, indicating that this matter no longer concerned him.

Good tactics!

Even Wang Junze couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

Not to be underestimated as someone from the Judgment Department, there's not a hint of petty behavior in her actions. She relinquished these interests without a blink of an eye and easily severed her connection with Master of All Things, holding the initiative completely in her own hands.

These things are easy to talk about, but in reality, truly doing them requires a significant amount of boldness.

No wonder, even after defecting to the Nether Sea, Dugu Feng could thrive. Such a person is not someone you can easily handle.

"I can overlook the matters of the Meng Family!"

Turning her gaze towards Wang Junze, Dugu Feng spoke again, "I can even leave you half of the Meng Family's assets, but... you must first prove your loyalty and worth!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Junze bowed again and responded in a deep voice, "Please, Lord Gu Du, give your command!"

Dugu Feng wasn't easy to fool. To gain her trust wasn't something that could be done with just a few words; a pledge that would satisfy her was necessary.

This was also a test for Wang Junze.

However, since he had chosen to approach Dugu Feng in this way, Wang Junze naturally wouldn't refuse.

If he couldn't gain Dugu Feng's trust, he wouldn't have the opportunity to kill her.

As for just directly killing Dugu Feng... from the moment Wang Junze set foot in the Nether Sea, he discarded such an idea; that wasn't a risk—it was suicide.

With a hint of satisfaction on her face, Dugu Feng finally issued her command, "In the Nether Sea, there is a small island where a rare and precious flower named the Other Shore Flower grows. Half a month later, it will bloom, and I want you to bring me one Other Shore Flower."

"Remember, you are not allowed to fail, only to succeed!"

A fierce killing intent flashed in her eyes, as Dugu Feng said indifferently, "If you can't bring back the Other Shore Flower, then don't come back at all."

Having said those words, Dugu Feng turned to leave, not wasting another word.

She didn't even bother to explain what the Other Shore Flower was or where exactly it was located. That... was not her concern!

She simply issued an order—how to find the Other Shore Flower and bring it back was Wang Junze's issue.

If he succeeded, he could become her subordinate; if he failed, he was worthless!

She didn't need worthless people under her command!

Not until Dugu Feng and the soldiers of the Netherworld Mansion left did Wang Junze heave a long sigh of relief.

Finally, he had passed this hurdle.

However, as he drew closer to Dugu Feng, Wang Junze increasingly felt her terrifying nature, making it far more difficult to kill such an opponent than he had imagined.

"Congratulations, Brother Ye!"

Not until everything was settled did Master of All Things come forward with a smiling face to offer his congratulations again.

Despite having distanced himself just now, as long as Wang Junze survived, he would still owe him a favor.

"Brother Wan, you're too kind. You've heard, I'm not through this hurdle yet."

With a smile appearing on his face as well, Wang Junze slightly clasped his fists and continued, "Brother Wan, I need your help!"

Wang Junze wasn't afraid of owing favors and knew well how to deal with people like Master of All Things, naturally furthering his request.

"Haha, Brother Ye, you really don't want to suffer any loss. I'm really not making a profit from this deal!"

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Master of All Things spoke half-jokingly and half-complaining.

"There should be more than one Other Shore Flower. If there is a chance to obtain more... I promise to sell at least one to Brother Wan. How about that?" Wang Junze naturally understood Master of All Things' intentions and generously made a promise.

"Refreshing!"

This time, Master of All Things' smile was much more genuine.

Putting aside everything else, Wang Junze was undoubtedly a smart and very capable person, and he liked dealing with such people.

"Come, come, leave these trifling matters to the servants. I'll treat you to a drink again at the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building!"

Waving his hand generously, Master of All Things said with a grin.

"I'd rather obey than show respect!"

With a hearty laugh, Wang Junze turned to Peng Ru and instructed, "You stay here and take care of the remaining matters!"

Although Meng Hailong was dead, in reality, the Meng Family still had some people alive, hiding in the inner residence. What Wang Junze meant by "taking care of" naturally included dealing with these people.

As to how Peng Ru would handle it specifically, Wang Junze didn't ask and didn't mind, giving Peng Ru a great deal of liberty in her actions.

This was also a reward for Peng Ru's performance tonight.

"Yes, rest assured, Young Master, I will definitely make you satisfied!"

Without any hesitation, Peng Ru immediately bowed in response.

"Interesting! Brother Ye, good tactics!"

With a hint of meaning, Master of All Things glanced at Peng Ru and said with a smile.

He naturally understood Peng Ru's identity. For Wang Junze to subdue Peng Ru, it also required considerable skill and daring, which itself was a testament to Wang Junze's capability.
