Chapter 3951 A Deal Behind Closed Doors

Master Taiwu smirked.

His appearance was that of a middle-aged man. He was clad in white robes that gleamed in the dim light of the room. His facial features were refined. His eyes were also sharp, indicating his wisdom of running a profitable business for a long time.

The air around him actually shimmered faintly with the power of many talismans and protective clothing, making one know that he could not be trifled with easily.

His long, silver hair was tied back neatly, and his fingers, which rested lightly on the table, drummed in a slow rhythm as he looked at the strange brothers with an intrigued emotion.

"Respected patrons," Master Taiwu responded, "I am pleased to hear that you may make an offer that I can't refuse, but you must also understand that the item of concern is extremely popular with all our long-time patrons. We must understand the Lunar Blackclaw Rabbit is a unique magical beast that survived a great ordeal and may have received a significant amount of karmic luck when the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm collapsed. I cannot sell before the grand auction starts in twenty-four days, much less before I ask the other parties who are highly interested."

Across from him sat two men.

Their facial features told Master Taiwu that they could be brothers or even twins.

The man on the left appeared slender and agile. He looked quite feminine with his pale skin. His black hair was also smooth, having waves until the shoulder-length, while his dark eyes gleamed with mischief. He kept a smile, his lips curling into a playful smirk the entire duration as though this situation was nothing more than amusing to him.

His black robe was slightly unkempt and loose in color, unlike the other man to the right, who seemed to be seated more properly and dressed neatly.

He appeared refined with a tall, broad shoulder and a well-groomed mustache resting above his lips, adding a distinguished air that accentuated the firm aura he possessed. His eyes were similarly sharp and calculating, unlike the playfulness seen in the other man.

He sat with his back straight, his hands folded, "A futile attempt at increasing the price."

"You could say that, but that is definitely not my intention."

Master Taiwu remained calm.

"Of course, you wouldn't be able to say that after I throw the offer in front of you."

"Respected patrons, for this transaction, you requested to remain anonymous, and I respect your decision as we all have a reputation to maintain. In the same way— I cannot throw the most sought-after item of the auction away. That would be no different than betraying my patrons."

"Big brother, don't make this longer than it needs to be. Just finish the transaction." Interrupted the effeminate man with an amused chuckle.

"Yes," Master Taiwu's expression turned solemn, "The item will be sent to you within an hour. Please wait."

He took out a messaging talisman and began giving out instructions. After that, he kept the messaging talisman in and smirked.

"Gentleman, now that we have reached an agreement, can you let me know why you want the rabbit?"

"Not your problem." The effeminate man laughed lightly.

"Indeed, it is not my problem, but since this magical beast is a prisoner who had escaped an Upper Realm's execution, I recommend not showing it outside. Otherwise, it is difficult to protect her."

"You don't need to worry about that." Said the calm big brother.

"Of course."

Master Taiwu shit his mouth. He leaned back and relaxed. A maid came in to serve refreshments and left quickly. However, the more time passed, the more he frowned.

He said an hour was enough for the exchange. He lied. That was just to give himself more time in case there was some trouble. Five minutes was enough to bring the rabbit here. However, it was already ten minutes, and the rabbit wasn't here yet in a cage.

What was going on?

He excused himself using a random reason and took out the messaging talisman.

"This... Young Master Reiwu brought that Empyrean into the storage space..."

"What!?"

Master Taiwu looked confused as hell as he stared again at the messaging talisman. He knew his son was undisciplined, but he felt there was no way his son would be that stupid in the realm of retarded.

"So what? Show them their way out and bring the rabbit already!"

"This... that Empyrean is having a conversation with that rabbit..."

"...!?"
