Chapter 708: Chapter 708: What Do You Have to Talk to Me About?_1

Park Family Xu’s face suddenly changed, "You’re not honoring your word?"

The bearded man burst into loud laughter, "How am I not honoring my word? I, Nicholas Roth, always keep my word. I said I’d kill your entire family and I definitely won’t miss a single one. The deal we talked about was two million spirit stones for the hostage exchange. Look, now I’ve not only let the hostages go, but also sent them off with a ship. I’m generous enough, right? The first transaction is already successfully completed. Now, let’s discuss the second transaction..."

Park Family Xu responded coldly, "What is it?"

Nicholas Roth, the bearded man, said with a smile, "The Park Family’s business is no small thing, literally making pots of gold every day. You are the Park Family’s young master and must be worth a lot. Now we have to discuss how much you’re worth in spirit stones?"

Park Family Xu answered gravely, "I only have two million spirit stones on me, not one more."

Nicholas Roth said leisurely, "No rush, no rush. If you don’t have the money on you, your family does. Just based on your status as the Park Family’s young master, I’m asking for twenty million spirit stones, it’s not too much, right? Rest assured, this matter will be simpler. I’ll send a little brother to the Park Family to fetch the spirit stones. Once we receive the spirit stones and he returns safely, you can go home safely. If we don’t get the spirit stones, then I’ll send you back one limb at a time."

Park Family Xu gritted his teeth, "Shameless!"

Nicholas Roth laughed heartily, "We are sky pirates, did you really think we would reason with you? You came to us all on your own, if I didn’t make a fortune out of it, wouldn’t I be a fool?"

The surrounding sky pirates immediately burst into laughter, each wearing a proud expression. After all, they had to scout, track, rob, and kidnap before to earn merely four to five million spirit stones. Divided among so many, each would only get around two hundred thousand. But now, with Park Family Xu delivering himself to their door, wasn’t this handing them twenty million spirit stones on a silver platter?

Each of them could effortlessly pocket millions of spirit stones—how could they not be happy?

This was a huge windfall!

Most of them had Golden Core Strength, but to earn a million spirit stones was also extremely difficult.

Carson Flores sold a massive pile of spiritual medicine and only managed to sell for over a million spirit stones, but normally, it’s practically impossible for someone to find so much spiritual medicine in the wilds of the Secret Realm or Barbaric Wilderness Realm. It would be considered good luck to even find a few.

Haven’t you seen Isabel Reid, who is at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, could only come up with tens of thousands of spirit stones?

Spirit stones are hard to earn!

Carson Flores, who had been watching from the sidelines, said solemnly, "It is always good to keep your promises. Having already made several million spirit stones, why be so greedy?"

Nicholas Roth glanced at Carson Flores and laughed loudly, "If you could accompany him here, you clearly have some abilities—probably at the Golden Core Stage, right? But what of the Golden Core Stage? I have seven or eight at the Golden Core Stage right here. Just surrender without a fight, and as long as the Park Family provides enough spirit stones, I will naturally let you go. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing you both and making a run for it."

Carson Flores suddenly laughed, "So, there’s no room for negotiation, huh?"

Nicholas Roth sneered, "Negotiate? You have to be qualified to do that. Right now, you both are like meat on my chopping board. What do you have to negotiate with me?"

Carson Flores nodded towards the area behind the crowd, "Did you ever think, if we weren’t prepared, would we march in here so boldly? Look, who is that?"

All the sky pirates’ expressions changed at once, instinctively turning their heads to look behind them—Carson Flores’s words made perfect sense, after all.

Behind them, there was nothing but air. At this moment, in front of them, spiritual energy surged violently.

They’d been fooled!

When the pirates turned back around, they saw Carson Flores holding an ancient-looking bronze mirror, from which a cold blast like an ice storm was crazily gushing out, enveloping everyone in its path.

At the same time, from the pouch around Carson Flores’s waist, Josy floated out and directly hit the ground. As soon as her tiny roots touched the soil, they rapidly grew and burrowed deep into the earth. Above the ground, the vines were visibly extending at an astonishing rate.

The quicker-reacting sky pirates had already activated their defensive magic artifacts or magical treasures, and Aura Barriers swiftly enveloped them. The slower ones, who hadn’t understood what was happening, were instantly covered by the Ice Storm.

These few individuals’ bodies were encased in ice instantly, their bodies rapidly losing heat and falling unconscious, toppling over like chopped down logs.

When Killian Jaramillo faced the breath of the Snow Dragon Leopard King, merely being grazed by the edge caused him to be instantly frozen and knocked unconscious. The Ice Storm unleashed by the Water-Fire Mirror was no less powerful than the Snow Dragon Leopard King’s frost breath—how could these people withstand it?

The sky pirates were thrown into chaos in an instant.

Nicholas Roth’s body shone with a green protective shield as he quickly retreated backward, narrowly avoiding Carson Flores’s attack, but his body was instantly covered with a layer of frost.

Turning around, Nicholas Roth’s pupils abruptly constricted.

In just that single move from his opponent, six or seven of his men were dead, including two who were at the Golden Core Stage!

Such a terrifying magical treasure!

Nicholas Roth’s gaze fell upon the mirror in Carson Flores’s hand, and suddenly realizing something, his expression shifted from shock to joy.

"The Water-Fire Mirror! Haha, today is truly a day of fortune!"
