There is a rule in Sun and Moon Tower that strangers are not accepted.
You either need to know the person well or be
introduced by an acquaintance, and you also need to make an appointment in
advance for each transaction.
Of course, there are exceptions to this rule,
which are usually emergencies.
But in this case, you will have to pay extra.
When he reached the gate of Sun and Moon Tower,
Dustin was stopped by security guards on both sides.
After revealing his identity and confirming
that he was correct, the security guard let Dustin in.
Entering the Sun and Moon Building, a
sweet-looking waitress took Dustin through the hall and directly to the
backyard.
After passing a garden with a pond, the two
stopped in front of a secluded room like a box.
"This is the boss's private reception
room. Please come in, Mr. Rhys." The waitress said with a smile.
"Your boss isn't here?" Dustin was a
little surprised.
"The boss has something urgent to take
care of, and will be here shortly. Please take a rest for a while, Mr. Rhys."
The waitress still kept smiling.
"Go ahead." Dustin nodded, then took
the lead to step into the room.
The box room is spacious and decorated in an
antique style, which has a unique charm.
There’s a smell of a faint fragrance between
breaths, which makes one refreshed and happy.
Fruit snacks were already placed on the table
in the room, and the tea was warm.
Dustin looked around and his eyes fixed on the
bookcase against the wall.
The bookcases were filled with a variety of
classics, all of which were extremely rare and unique pieces, covering a wide
range of subjects.
Dustin scanned the pages one by one, and
finally chose a collection of legendary characters and started reading it.
As the name suggests, this book records various
legendary figures from ancient times to the present.
Either dominate a region, or be extremely
successful, or be invincible.
Thousands of years ago, there was a swordsman
who guarded a city alone, and an army of one hundred thousand dared not enter;
there was a celestial being who moved mountains and filled rivers, suppressed
monsters, and curbed floods; there was a beggar who laughed three times,
stepped into the gate of heaven, and ascended to heaven the next day.
Every character that appears in this book is a
legend.
Dustin casually flipped through the pages and
turned to modern times, and the name of Zhang Xuanji, the Heavenly Master of
Longhu Mountain, was prominently listed.
The demon-slaying event of Jiazi many years ago
shook the entire martial arts world. The three major demon sects that were at
their peak at that time were completely wiped out overnight and no news of them
has been heard since then.
Since then, Zhang Xuanji has been ranked first
on the list and has dominated the list until now, and no one can shake it.
This book also records a lot of relevant
information about Zhang Xuanji.
In fact, before Jiazi eliminated the demons,
Zhang Xuanji was unknown, idle and lazy all day long.
He usually either sleeps or wanders around, and
have never practiced Buddhism seriously.
But it was this unknown person who, after
learning that his master was killed by the Demon Sect, went berserk and killed
all the Demon Sect members with just one sword.
Dustin sat in a chair, flipping through the
collection of legendary figures with great interest.
The almost god-like deeds in the book made him
yearn for it.
He doesn’t know if he will have the chance to
be recorded in this book in the future.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
At this time, Margaret, wearing a veil, finally
walked in.
She glanced at the book in Dustin's hand and
didn't say anything. Instead, she sat opposite him and poured two cups of tea.
"I just got here too."
Dustin put the books back in place and asked
with a smile, "Why did you ask me out so urgently? I wonder what you have
to say?"
"I just received a message that concerns
your safety. In order to investigate the authenticity of the message, I paid a
lot of price." Margaret said meaningfully.
"You're not going to take my money again,
are you?" Dustin raised his eyebrows.
"Of course I will! And I have to double
it!" Margaret said confidently.
"No way? We are friends who have been
through thick and thin together. It would be too much for you to charge me,
right?" Dustin was speechless.
"Friendship is friendship, intentions are
intentions. It's still easy to talk about them outside, but once you enter the
Sun and Moon Tower, you only talk about intentions, not friendship. That's the
rule." Margaret said with a smile.
"Okay! You asked me to meet you here at
the Sun and Moon Tower. Turns out it was because of this. You're so
cruel!" Dustin had a regretful expression for making a wrong friend.
"No way, this is how business is."
Margaret shrugged: "But considering our friendship, I can give you a
discount."
"Whether there's a discount or not, I
don't have the money to give you." Dustin just gave up.
"It doesn't matter, just owe it to me
first and pay it back when you have money later." Margaret said
straightforwardly.
"I really didn't realize that you are such
a money-grubber." Dustin rolled his eyes.
"With a big family and a lot of wealth,
it's hard to support everything without making some extra money. Besides, these
little things are nothing to you." Margaret smiled, her eyebrows curved,
looking very pretty.
"It's done, it's done. I'll just owe you
money. Tell me, what's the news?" Dustin had no choice but to compromise.
"What you did in West Lucozia a few days
ago has alarmed the high-level officials of the Temple of the Gods."
The smile faded and her expression became
serious: "According to my investigation, the Pantheon of Gods is afraid of
your potential, so they are ready to completely eliminate you as a threat, and
they have also sent two God Kings to come from afar. Now, they are almost in Stonia!" - Ton
