"Don’t sell me, I belong to a guild, you won’t be able to sell me in the black market because no one will dare to take me, I’m an advanced partner."


    Lethal Bullet pleaded in a soft tone.


    "Are you threatening me?"


    Tao Yu cocked his head and glanced at him.


    "No, no, how could I! My life is in your hands, sir, I just don’t want to lose face in the black market."


    Tao Yu turned to look at Annan beside him


    "Is that so?"


    "Uh, this is beyond my knowledge, I’ve never captured an advanced partner..."


    Annan also dared not lie, otherwise, if he really couldn’t sell the other and then, angered, accidentally sold himself, what would he do? If he got caught because there was a bounty on his head, he still had a chance to survive, but being sold on the black market would truly be the end of him.


    "It’s true, absolutely true, I’m willing to compensate you, sir!"


    Lethal Bullet kept speaking, and his words gradually softened Tao Yu’s expression.


    "How much?"


    "I have a total of two hundred and thirty thousand Yuan Force on me right now, I’m willing to give it all to you, sir, and I don’t need my equipment either..."


    Lethal Bullet’s expression turned bitter.


    He genuinely and earnestly sought to save his life.


    Normally, it’s rare for Pioneers who have been captured to be willing to pay.


    After paying money and having already made enemies, they might as well just be killed and be done with it!


    Giving money to murderers and enemies, no one wanted to do that.


    It’s generally just a deception for naive youngsters.


    But the atmosphere at the moment was a little sensitive because he was truly yielding, and although the place was remote, it wasn’t completely deserted, there was a chance for mediation.


    "Sir, being willing to give Yuan Force after being caught shows a lot of sincerity. I truly did not know who you were, and from now on, whatever you command, I’ll be at your beck and call. I wouldn’t dare trouble you again, sir, what if I got caught again?"


    Lethal Bullet was appealing to emotions and reasoning.


    And Tao Yu fell into thought, then a smile appeared on his face.


    "Oh no, since it’s just a misunderstanding, let’s just clear it up. Since you have only two hundred and thirty thousand, keep a thousand for food, and give me two hundred and twenty-nine thousand."


    Tao Yu held out his magnetic card and released the acupoint in the other’s arm, and Lethal Bullet, without any hesitation, transferred the Yuan Force, all the while expressing his thanks.


    Better to be straightforward.


    "New, new pioneers? Development zone?!"


    ’Lethal Bullet’ looked at the numbers in the partner code, grasped the meaning behind several key numbers, and his face was full of shock.


    How is this possible?!


    A big shot from Floating City?!


    I’m an advanced partner, after all!


    "Nothing is impossible,"


    Tao Yu spoke in a calm tone; this was about the limit of power he could display at the moment.


    Previously, it all depended on the Divine Skill of Vajra Indestructibility, but once the teaching of inner strength began, it would naturally become clear what this was.


    The advancement in his own strength and the acquisition of resources would all seem ’normal’!


    And if ’Lethal Bullet’ did have ulterior motives, bearing the severe injury from triggering the explosion to contact somebody else or his ’union’ to deal with him,


    even without considering the little rich lady, his own remaining strength was sufficient to give them a surprise.


    But at present, this possibility also seemed very small.


    As a mature advanced partner, ’Lethal Bullet’ knew how to weigh pros and cons; by his looks, he seemed far from anything insane...


    "Were you planning to sell Annan to the black market before?"


    After resolving the issue, Tao Yu also released the pressure points of ’Lethal Bullet’ Haus and put on his own partner mask; he was ’Eight-Armed Vajra’ after all.


    "It’s not really like that, the black market is disgustingly filthy; I don’t like it either. However, lately, a few Inner City families are gathering these desperate outlaws, I sold a couple before, and the price could go up by twenty percent. Anyway, I have no use for the points now,"


    Haus expressed indifferently, which made Tao Yu’s eyes slightly move.


    It’s this again.


    "I understand, hand over your partner badge to me; go get a replacement for yourself."


    "Ah?"


    Haus looked somewhat bewildered but still took out his partner badge and gave it to Tao Yu.


    The badge for advanced partners was much more finely made; Haus’s badge had a pistol symbol, similar to the two guns Tao Yu had confiscated, which was probably a privilege for advanced partners to customize.


    "Alright, that will do, sometimes I might use your identity to handle some matters, don’t worry, it’s nothing unforgivable; you just need to be a little more prudent,"


    Since Tao Yu had said so, Haus naturally didn’t dare to complain, and in the end, could only leave dejectedly, wishing to get as far away as possible...
