Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Frankly speaking, if it were any other time, Lin Lei would have gone too far by saying that. If Lin Lei goes around saying that Shangguan Bao took off all his equipment and used this method to save his life, then Shangguan Bao will be finished. Just like Liu Ning had brought Sun Qiang along—because he himself was unfamiliar with many things in the wilderness, and Sun Qiang could help him learn.
Frankly speaking, if it were any other time, Lin Lei would have gone too far by saying that. Even though someone had encroached on your hunting grounds, you can't just accept defeat by the rules. But this guy just tried to kill Lin Lei, so this seems a bit lenient. The items a mentalist carries are extremely valuable, sometimes worth trillions of dollars. Besides, this guy is the second young master of the Shangguan family, so his items are even more valuable. Not to mention the items in his spatial dimension, the equipment he's wearing is already worth over 800 billion dollars.
Shangguan Bao's eyes were murderous. If it weren't Lin Lei in front of him, but someone else, he would have definitely charged straight at him. However, when facing a mage, he felt his strength was insufficient. So even if he was dissatisfied, he dared not do anything to Lin Lei. This was a very helpless situation. If he were strong enough, he wouldn't need to listen to Lin Lei's shouts. But the problem was that he wasn't strong enough, and with Liu Ning watching him like a hawk, if he really fought with these people, he would probably lose his life. Anyway, it was just some money. As long as he was alive, he could earn that money back later. The speed at which a mentalist could make money was astonishing.
But this humiliation is something most people can't bear. If Lin Lei goes around saying that Shangguan Bao took off all his equipment and used this method to save his life, then Shangguan Bao will be finished. He can't deny it, because many people know about this equipment. If Lin Lei displays this equipment, probably the whole world will know that what Lin Lei said is true. So Shangguan Bao is now hesitating whether he should give it or not. Whether he gives it or not, it is a very difficult choice for him.
Just then, a middle-aged man tugged at Shangguan Bao from behind. The man understood immediately from the look in the man's eyes. This was quite normal; every young master going on wilderness training needed an experienced elder as a guide. Just like Liu Ning had brought Sun Qiang along—because he himself was unfamiliar with many things in the wilderness, and Sun Qiang could help him learn. The man behind Shangguan Bao had also been with him since childhood and had reached the level of a warrior general, acting like an old steward. The steward's meaning was clear: a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Since the other party had brought it up, if he refused, the magician might not be satisfied, which would be a major problem for them. Escaping was the most important thing.
Despite his usual air of incompetence, Shangguan Bao was surprisingly quick-witted. He realized this situation was unlikely to end well, and continuing the stalemate would only bring him trouble. So, he immediately understood that these possessions were just material things. Although he wasn't happy about it, he took off all his clothes, leaving only his undergarments. Someone offered him a long robe to prevent him from being too impolite.
"All my belongings are here. We'll take our leave now. Mr. Lin Lei, if you have time, you're welcome to visit our home..."
After finishing his sentence, the guy prepared to leave with his men. Lin Lei was puzzled at this point. He had thought that the guy would disagree and would definitely fight back. If the guy fought back, it would be his chance to have a good showdown with him. No matter what wrong things the guy had done in the past, since they had come here today, they had to seek justice for that girl.
What was the result? He threw a punch, but it hit nothing. Shangguan Bao didn't even take the hit. You let him leave in defeat, and he did as you asked. If you still cause trouble at this point, it would seem a bit unfair. Lin Lei was also unsure of what to do, so he looked at Liu Ning next to him. Liu Ning had been keeping an eye on Shangguan Bao for a while. This guy was unreliable.
"Wait a minute. Mr. Linley just said that you should leave in defeat, which means you have to put down everything you have. If I'm not mistaken, you're still wearing something around your neck. This thing isn't ordinary; it's probably your storage space. The one you took off your hand earlier must be something even more important. You clearly don't respect mages, nor do you respect the Mage Guild. Do you think things are that easy? You tried to kill Mr. Linley earlier, and now you're trying to deceive him. Where do you think you are of the Mage Guild?"
Liu Ning already knew that the thing around Lin Lei's neck was a storage space. To an ordinary person, it would just be a cheap trinket, not worth much at all, so Lin Lei didn't say anything. But Liu Ning's system did give a hint that it was a fairly large storage space, and it should contain quite a lot of things. Otherwise, this guy would never dare to take the risk. How could he dare to leave here with a storage space? That means he doesn't take Lin Lei seriously. Liu Ning is quite good at playing along. He brought up the Mage Guild in just a few words. Now he's also borrowing the tiger's power.
"You're asking for it..."
As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a mage. Since arriving here, Linley felt his authority had been repeatedly challenged by this guy. He was about to spare his life, but this guy still interfered. So Linley's little fireball didn't wait any longer and immediately rushed forward. Shangguan Bao's two followers tried to block it, but could these two guys stop it? They were just low-level warrior-level fireballs. After passing by, the two guys were sent flying.
Shangguan Bao didn't dare to move. He had already witnessed the power of the magician. His two most capable subordinates were dead. If he were to take action himself, who knew if Lin Lei would take his life? In this desolate place, they had already activated the jammer, so any transmission was useless. This was no joke.
