Death… And Me

Chapter 3135  Okay! Really?

When Roan said he had no interest in any payment, Zangeshu didnʼt think much about it. The part that took his interest was when Roan mentioned that Zangeshuʼs Familyʼs entire fortune wouldnʼt match Roanʼs. The Inquisition Forging Hall was definitely where the Inquisition Hall of the planet had most of its valuables, and his great-grandfather had access to it all. Well, Little did he know that Roan held most of those ʼvaluablesʼ now. They werenʼt that impressive, considering what the twins had in the past. Once they manage to ascend to the Divine Realm of this Universe, those things wonʼt have much value anymore, either. Nonetheless, the twins could definitely be said to be among the most wealthy beings on this planet now.

”Is that a joke?” Zangeshu asked back, narrowing his eyes.

Roan didnʼt explain. ”It is up to you to believe or not. In any case, open your mind. I wonʼt waste time explaining everything from the start. I will simply send a Spiritual Sense Message with the entire situation.”

Zangeshu nodded. ”Good. I have no time to listen to stories either.”

Roanʼs Spiritual Sense Message immediately arrived, and a plethora of events played in Zangeshuʼs mind as he closed his eyes. At first, Zangeshuʼs expression was calm. But then, even he couldnʼt help but feel shocked as he organized that information in his mind. ”This...”

When Zangeshu finally understood everything, he opened his eyes again, looking at the calm Roan, who went back to cultivating. ”Haha... Hahaha! This is ridiculous! What kind of bullshit is this? Do you think I will believe all of that?”

Roan shrugged. ”Whether you believe or not, thatʼs the truth. In any case, I will now release you, so you can think whatever you want. This is the last time we will meet each other. Goodbye.”

Roan raised his hand, and just as he was about to send Zageshu away, Zangeshu quickly reacted. ”Wait! I believe you!”

Roan looked at him unconcerned. ”So what?”

Zangeshu calmed down pretty fast, and his expression returned to normal. ”If you told me is the truth, then the Inquisition Forging Hall is no more. Normally, I wouldnʼt give a shit. I can learn and improve by myself. However, you also used my identity to plan the destruction of the Hall, right? There wasnʼt much information in your Spiritual Sense Message, but it was quite clear the Inquisition Hall now probably thinks Iʼm connected to its destruction.”

Roan nodded. ”So? If there is nothing else, you can go.”

”I donʼt want to,” Zangeshu spoke, looking around with interest. ”How did you manage to achieve such a thing? To manage to hack into the various cores of the Inquisition Hall Geothermic Circuitry Formation is no mean feat. I consider myself someone who knows this world as the back of my hand. I learned everything that could be of use to me. As far as Iʼm aware, no one on this planet should be able to pull out such a thing. That said, I donʼt want to go. I want to learn from the people who managed to do it. No doubt their knowledge about Circuitry Formations surpasses my own.”

Roan snorted. ”Hmph! And what does that have to do with me?”

”You owe me.” Zangeshu threw back. ”Didnʼt you manage to destroy the Inquisition Forging Hall because you posed as me? Then you owe me at least that much for using my identity. Can you imagine all the shit I will have to go through because the Inquisition Hall thinks you were me?”

Roan didnʼt seem to care. ”Even less of my problem. The first thing they will do is to have you sign a Soul Binding Contract to force you to speak the truth about what happened. They will easily see that you were just caught in this mess against your choice.”

Zangeshu looked at Roan as if he was looking at an idiot... which was rare for anyone to do. ”Are you pretending to be a fool? That must be, right?”

Roanʼs eyebrows raised a little, a bit of surprise in his eyes. ”Oh? And why would it be the case?”

Zangeshu truly had a personality similar to Roan. That simple question was enough for Zangeshu to understand something. ”A test, uh? It had been a while since anyone tried to test my intelligence.”

Roan faintly smiled, not denying it. He truly did that as a test. But... would Zangeshu guess why? Now he wanted to see it. ”Explain yourself.”

Zangeshu didnʼt mind. If that meant he could learn about how someone hacked into the Geothermal Circuitry Formation, he would take as many tests as possible. ”You said that they could simply use a Soul Binding Contract to force me to speak the truth. However, neither you nor I would really use this method, let alone the Inquisition Hall.”

He continued. ”Letʼs be honest; what you did definitely hurt the Inquisition Hallʼs pride profoundly. Soul Binding Contract? They will waste no time with such bullshit. Since Iʼm just a Middle-Stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, they will simply bring my soul out and forcefully read all the information inside. I will definitely die in the process or, at the very least, become a retard or a vegetable. And donʼt come at me saying that you wouldnʼt do that, because I absolutely would.”

*clap, clap, clap...*

Roan got up while clapping, satisfied. ”Not bad, kid. Not bad at all. It seems like your fame wasnʼt just for show. You truly have a few extra neurons inside your brain. Still, will you simply trust everything that easily?”

Zangeshu nodded and shook his head right after. ”For now, I will believe. Once the chance appears, I will check what happened on my own to confirm that I wasnʼt wrong. Pros and cons, it is that simple. So, will you allow me to learn more about your methods?”

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Rean appeared by Roanʼs side, confused. ”I was cultivating. Why did you call me?”

Roan pointed at Zangeshu. ”That guy said he wants to be your disciple.”

Rean looked at Zangeshu and nodded. ”Okay.”

”Really?” Zangeshu asked back, not expecting such a fast answer.

”Your ass!” Rean immediately burst right after. ”How the hell did it even come to this?”
