Chapter 1080: Chapter 1083: Wang Chong suffers a big loss (Third update) _1 Chapter 1080: Chapter 1083: Wang Chong suffers a big loss (Third update) _1 Wang Chong has been agitated these past few days.

Lin Zhen has been missing for four days, completely off the radar, like he evaporated from existence.

Every feedback from everywhere was devoid of any hint.

As powerful as Wang Chong is, he couldn’t possibly scour every inch of the Earth Core Purgatory for Lin Zhen.

From his knowledge, the test for the Sovereign Weapon had begun.

If he didn’t get it soon, it would most likely fail.

Just when he was feeling anxious and upset, one of his subordinates contacted him with news.

…

They found Lin Zhen!

In the video, a squad leader stood in a desolate place, with Lin Zhen firmly locked in behind him.

Wang Chong’s heart soared in joy, “Excellent!

How did you manage to do it?”

Unexpectedly, the squad leader sneered, “Young Master, it’s not your concern how I did it.

For now, Lin Zhen is in my hands, you can verify him if it’s him.”

Observing through the Water Mirror, Wang Chong, being an Upper God with extremely keen sight, could clearly see that it was indeed Lin Zhen.

But the subordinate’s tone rubbed him the wrong way, “Are you sure you’re talking to me?”

The subordinate waved his hand, “Young Master, stop playing the lord before me.

I’ve had enough at the Eight Great Hammers.

Now I’ve got Lin Zhen, I want to propose a deal with you.”

“I see you’ve got a death wish!” Wang Chong flared up in anger.

“Ha, ha, ha!

If I was afraid of your threat, I would not have called you.

Let me tell you, if you want Lin Zhen, negotiate nicely with me.

Otherwise, let’s call it off.

I can always leave the Witch Star.

I don’t believe you can trace me in the Original World; with my skills, I can roam freely in the Original World for eons.

It’s up to whether you’re sincere.”

Wang Chong’s expression changed several times, ultimately he swallowed his anger.

While the subordinate might be an insignificant pawn, getting the Sovereign Weapon from Lin Zhen was of utmost importance.

“What are your conditions, spill it out!”

“Ha ha!

Quite simple, Young Master.

You offered a sky-high price of five million to catch Lin Zhen.

I want you to double that price, you should be able to afford it.”

“You’re absolutely outrageous, demanding ten million!”

“Young Master, don’t lose your temper just yet.

I’ve found out that Lin Zhen possesses the Sovereign Weapon.

Compared to that, what’s a mere ten million?

If I let this information out, I believe someone would be willing to try their luck, even for a hundred million.”

Wang Chong never thought that the squad leader would know such crucial information, which immediately sent him into a panic.

“Don’t mess around, I can give you ten million, but I want Lin Zhen alive.”

He knew that something as important as a Sovereign Weapon must be in the God Realm.

As long as Lin Zhen’s God Realm remained intact, the item wouldn’t be lost.

“Of course, the thing may be precious, but I know my limits; it won’t belong to me.”

“Then how do you ensure the transaction happens securely?” asked Wang Chong.

“I don’t want a bank transfer.

Have the squad leader buy me some stuff for ten million, then we can meet for the trade.”

“Oh!

That seems doable.” Hearing that they could meet for the trade, Wang Chong felt a bit reassured.

It seemed feasible.

“Young Master, I need a top-quality Positioning Compass, worth five million.

I also need a level three Life Gene Cultivation Essence worth four million.

It must be the mutated Galaxy Leech gene.

The remaining one million, give it to me in cash.”

Wang Chong’s eyelids twitched, “I can understand the Compass and the cash, but the level three Life Gene Essence, and you even want the mutated kind, are you sure your talent can handle it?”

“Cut the crap.

If you agree, we make the trade, and I’ll hand over the live Lin Zhen.

If not, we call it off!”

Wang Chong was fuming.

This lad had lost it!

After the trade, he’d make sure he’d have a tough time.

But for now, he’d have to swallow his words and agreed, gritting his teeth, “Fine, give me the time and place.”

“Tomorrow at noon, let’s meet at the exit of the safety area.

I need to be cautious of you.

In the safety area, you can’t attack at will, and I can easily escape.”

Wang Chong felt like he was going to spit blood, even his teeth seemed to ache from rage.

“Alright!

I’ll see you tomorrow.

You must bring Lin Zhen to me alive!”

Frustrated, he ended the Dimensional Universe call, and soon after, went into a rampage in his room.

But after venting, he decided to proceed as the squad leader commanded.

A real man could bend and stretch.

To get the Sovereign Weapon, he could endure anything for now.

As per the squad leader’s demand, he spent five million to buy a high-end Positioning Compass, and it really hurt.

It was a high-end item that he wouldn’t even treat himself to buy, but here he was, buying it for someone else.

Then he spent another four million on the Life Gene Essence, and finally one million cash in a box.

The ten million spent had almost halved his wealth.

With everything ready, he took two Upper God guards and headed directly to the Earth Core Purgatory to conduct the trade.

********

At noon on the second day, Wang Chong arrived at the main entrance of the Earth Core Purgatory.

The audacious squad leader had been waiting there, pulling a large cabinet behind him.

“Did you bring the person?” Wang Chong asked.

“Did you bring the items?” The squad leader countered.

“Rubbish!” Wang Chong raised his hand, and each of the items unveiled one by one.

The squad leader opened the cabinet behind him.

Lin Zhen was lying inside.

Wang Chong glanced at him.

It was undoubtedly Lin Zhen, but he seemed unconscious.

“Stop the idle talk; let’s trade!”

Wang Chong no longer wanted to engage him in conversation; he just wanted to get the trade done.

The transaction was quickly completed.

The items were handed over to the squad leader while the cabinet containing Lin Zhen was with Wang Chong.

Upon confirming the completed transaction, Wang Chong immediately showed a sinister grin.

“Bastard!

You dared to swindle my money.

You think you’re safe because you’re in a safety zone?

If I can make Lin Zhen leave the safety zone, I can do the same to you.

You don’t even have a chance to leave now.”

The squad leader slipped the items behind him, where they silently disappeared.

A cold smile appeared on his face, “You son of a bitch!

You’ve extorted so much money from me.

Now if I don’t make you bleed, you’ll think I’m easy to bully.

I will take your money; if you dare, kill me.”

Wang Chong’s eyes were already red with fury.

He waved his hand, “Kill him!”

He had already bribed the safety zone authorities, and one of his Upper God subordinates immediately made a move.

Unexpectedly, the squad leader detonated himself!

With a loud bang, Wang Chong, being too close, was caught off guard and received some injuries.

“Damn!

This idiot must be out of his mind.

Check on Lin Zhen quickly!”

Wang Chong sensed something was off and hastily opened the cabinet.

He hadn’t expected that Lin Zhen, who was supposed to be unconscious inside, suddenly transformed into a thunderstorm and struck Wang Chong square in the face!

This wasn’t Lin Zhen’s real body, but a duplicate!
