Chapter 1934: Identity Exposed!
"Golden Bone?"
"Are you talking about this thing?"
Arthur then unexpectedly pulled a golden bone out from his chest.
Xiao Zheng’s pupils suddenly contracted, a flash of shock appearing deep in his eyes.
He completely didn’t expect Arthur would carry the Golden Bone with him.
Forcing himself to calm down, Xiao Zheng then smilingly said, "Yes, that’s it. I came to find you this time to buy it from you."
"Do you want to buy this Golden Bone, is it very important to you?" Arthur’s eyes showed a change, and his lips slowly revealed a meaningful smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng knew what he was thinking, and then shook his head and said, "Saint Heir, I’m afraid you misunderstand. This Golden Bone isn’t particularly important to me."
"Then why do you want to buy it?" Arthur asked.
"Because I’m just curious about its origin, and besides, I usually like to collect historical and strange things. So when I learned you had a Golden Bone, I came to find you." Xiao Zheng said slowly.
Arthur remained silent, his eyes fixed on Xiao Zheng, seemingly trying to determine if he was lying.
However, the final outcome left him disappointed, as Xiao Zheng’s face showed no change in response to his gaze.
Arthur toyed with the Golden Bone, then asked, "So, I wonder what price you would offer to buy this Golden Bone?"
"If you’re willing to sell, the price I offer will definitely satisfy you." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "One hundred million dollars, how about this price?"
"One hundred million dollars?" Arthur raised an eyebrow, then pretended to hesitate, "One hundred million dollars isn’t a low price, but I think it’s far from the value of this Golden Bone, right?"
Xiao Zheng already knew he wouldn’t agree so quickly.
Thus, he was mentally prepared for Arthur’s words: "Naturally, in business, both parties should be willing. Since Saint Heir isn’t satisfied with my offer, why don’t you name a price first?"
Seeing him pass the decision to him, Arthur pondered and then said, "One billion US dollars, how about it? If you’re willing, I can sell this Golden Bone to you."
Upon hearing the price he quoted, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.
The initial suggestion had increased tenfold, Arthur’s greed was simply amusing.
But if he could indeed buy a Golden Bone for one billion US dollars, Xiao Zheng would definitely be getting a great bargain. After all, money could be earned again, but Golden Bones are not easily found.
Yet he couldn’t agree too readily, otherwise, with Arthur’s suspicious character, he might become suspicious.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng feigned difficulty and said, "One billion? Although I can gather that much money, isn’t this price a bit too high?"
"Then what price do you think is most suitable?" Arthur asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng pondered slightly, and then said, "The most I can offer is five hundred million. If it exceeds this price, I’d rather not buy it."
He spoke definitively, not wanting to leave Arthur any room for negotiation.
Indeed, just as Xiao Zheng predicted, feeling his determination, Arthur hesitated.
Arthur clenched his teeth in thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Alright, then let’s agree on your price. You give me five hundred million dollars, and I’ll sell you this Golden Bone right now."
"Honestly, I truly feel a bit reluctant now."
Hehe.
Xiao Zheng returned this last statement of Arthur’s with a cold smile in his heart.
Because anyone could see that Arthur was being greedy despite getting a good deal. A bone that was useless to him could bring him an income of five hundred million dollars, surely something worth being happy about.
Indeed, Arthur was now quite pleased in his heart.
To Arthur, Xiao Zheng had become the perfect example of a fool.
Little did Arthur know that to Xiao Zheng, he too was the perfect example of a fool.
Getting the Golden Bone for five hundred million dollars, Xiao Zheng was very satisfied: "Then it’s settled, when will we make the transaction? I can have people transfer the money to your account right now."
Arthur nodded.
Yet just as he was about to provide his bank account, there was an unexpected knock on the door.
Soon, an elderly voice followed: "Saint Heir, could you come out for a moment?"
"Yang, I’m really sorry, I’ll go out for a bit and be back soon." Arthur now had a good impression of Xiao Zheng, the "fool", and his smile had become very bright.
Xiao Zheng nodded and watched him leave the lounge.
Although the lounge wasn’t large, it had tea and drinks.
During the wait for Arthur, Xiao Zheng sat inside the lounge, sipping leisurely...
About five or six minutes later, Arthur finally returned.
However, the reappeared Arthur gave Xiao Zheng a completely unfamiliar feeling.
Has the situation changed?
A hint of a bad thought suddenly arose in Xiao Zheng’s mind, but outwardly, he remained calm and asked, "Saint Heir is back? Since you’re done, let’s continue with our transaction."
Upon hearing this, Arthur, sitting opposite him, fixed his gaze on him and said in a slightly chilling tone, "Transaction? Sorry, our transaction is terminated."
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
"I’ve been informed that the true owner of the name you’re using died in a shipwreck a year ago! You’re not from Stanburg, who exactly are you?"
Indeed!
His identity is finally exposed!
Xiao Zheng sighed in his heart but also felt relief.
Assuming another’s identity indeed made him feel uneasy.
Then Xiao Zheng’s expression changed, from previously being elegant to suddenly domineering: "It seems the Bright Church’s information channels are very wide indeed, you’ve figured it all out."
"Yes, I’m not from Stanburg."
"Then who exactly are you?" Arthur asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s lips slightly curled up, and he said, "My name is Xiao Zheng, from Huaxia. You can also call me by another name, Evil God!"
When Arthur heard the words "Evil God," a flash of shock appeared in his eyes.
He completely didn’t expect Xiao Zheng’s true identity would be so astonishing!
