BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2246 Friends?
Chapter 2246 Friends?
With all the pills, he expected to earn more than triple what he had earned the last time. And with that much money, he could leave for the other continent today. He had yet to choose what continent he was going to. If price was an issue, Threeflower would be the best one to go to. It was the closest, so it would cost less. It was also smaller than the other continents, so there were fewer places to visit.
However, Alex didn\'t believe that was the right place to go. Because everyone that came from the other realms had to come through Threeflower, he feared all the things he could find in that continent had been more or less taken away.
There had been an attempt at stopping the overcrowded continent from pillaging everything, but who knew how late it was? He could end up going there with few things to get.
As a result, Alex decided that the right place to go was, in fact, Pillheaven continent. There was a teleportation formation on the other side of the God\'s Domain, so they could teleport to the other side easily.
He had also visited it with his master, so he knew what he could find and where. Trueflame Continent was a good place to go too, but that was the place he visited the earliest, and it had been nearly 50 years since then.
He didn\'t want to trust such an old memory. He would rather go to places fresh in his mind which wouldn\'t have changed much in the time.
Once the decision was made, Alex walked out of the room to go check on Momo. When he walked out, he paused as he sensed Pearl getting closer.
Pearl walked into the courtyard and came toward him.
"Brother, you\'re back," Pearl said.
"I should be the one saying that," Alex said. "Where have you been?"
"Fighting," Pearl said. "There is an arena in the city. Do you want to fight too?"
"No," Alex said. "Did you have fun?"
"So much fun," Pearl said with a brilliant smile. "And I earned quite a bit too. If you need money, let me know. I have a lot."
Alex chuckled. "I\'m glad you do," he said. "And are these some new friends you made?"
"Friends?" Pearl got confused at the moment when Alex gestured behind him. He turned around and saw 5 people standing outside of the courtyard, looking in.
Pearl recognized one of them. The fox.
"Huh? How did they get here? I couldn\'t sense them," Pearl said in a surprised tone. Alex looked at them and nodded. "That guy is carrying some sort of talisman," he said. "Do you know them?"
"Yeah, they bet on me while I fought in the arena," Pearl said, turning to look at the 5 men who stood outside the cauldron. "Why did you follow me here? I can understand that you think we are friends, but hiding yourself while following me is not something you should be doing."
The fox seemed angered suddenly. "You bastard!" he cried out. "Come outside if you dare."
Alex blinked a few times. "I thought you were acquainted," he said. "He seems angry."
"Yeah…" Pearl said. "I don\'t know what is happening."
"They can\'t come inside," Alex told Pearl. "Do you want to talk to them or just let them shout outside?"
"Let me talk," Pearl said. "I don\'t know what is going on to make him this angry, but it must be something serious."
Alex nodded and the two of them walked outside. Arriving there, Alex quickly sensed the cultivation base of everyone there and while most were weak, there was one that was quite strong among them.
"Alright, can you explain what is going on?" Pearl asked the fox.
The fox pointed at him, angrily. "No, you explain what is going on," the fox said. "I was sure you worked for the hawk, but it seems this is your boss."
"Hawk? Boss?" Pearl asked, shaking his head. "No, this is my brother."
"He\'s not a beast," the fox said. "Don\'t think you can trick me."
"Obviously not a blood brother," Pearl said with a sigh. "What are you doing here, anyway? Shouldn\'t you be happy about your riches? Some people must\'ve bet quite a bit on me losing, so you should have gotten a large chunk from my victory."
"The hell we did," the fox shouted. "We bet against you. Because of you, I lost nearly one and a half million spirit stones."
Alex whistled to the side, hearing the number. "That\'s a lot of spirit stones."
"Huh?" Pearl said out loud, offended. "Why would you bet against me? I told you I was going to win."
"Why the hell would I trust you?" the fox said. "I was sure you were working for the hawk."
"Again, who the hell is this hawk?" Pearl asked.
"Doesn\'t matter," the fox said. "Because of you, I lost my money. Now you will have to pay me back. Fork up what you have, we will be taking everything."
Pearl remained still for a while, looking directly at the fox. "Are you serious?" he asked. "Did you forget how much stronger I am than you?"
"I know," the fox said. "That\'s why I brought him."
The man at the back, a tall dark-skinned fellow with a muscular build walked to the front, standing a head taller than both Pearl and Alex.
Pearl sensed his cultivation base and found it to be the Immortal Origin 9th realm. This was a strong man.
Alex stepped forward, standing in front of Pearl, staring directly at the man. The man looked down on him and they stared at each other for a long while.
Then, Alex looked past the man at the fox. "You want your 1.5 million spirit stones, right?" he asked. "Why don\'t we instead make it 3 million?"
The fox became wary. "What do you mean?" he asked.
"It seems you like betting, so why don\'t we make a bet?" Alex asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Go on," the fox said.
"Pearl here will fight this big man here. If this man wins, I will give you 3 million spirit stones in 3 weeks," Alex said.
The fox thought about the offer. "And what if we lose?" Alex smiled. "I may have mistaken your species, so forgive me if I\'m wrong, but you are a Quicksilver Fox, aren\'t you?" The white-haired fox froze for a second. "I am. What of it?"
"Perfect," Alex said. "If Pearl wins, I want 20 grams of your bile and we have to pay back nothing."
"And what if we refuse to play this game of yours?" the fox asked.
"Then Pearl will ignore this man and attack you. Can you fight against him?" Alex asked with a grin.
The fox felt his spine grow cold at the thought of having to fight Pearl. "Alright, I\'ll accept your challenge. Your 3 Million spirit stones vs my bile," the fox said.
Alex couldn\'t help but be incredibly happy on the inside. He had found the 4th of the 14 ingredients.
