Jiang Chen was not in a hurry and said calmly, "This matter is no longer up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a gentle wave of his hand, the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, which had been tightly grasped by Jin Jiangming, broke free from his hold and flew into Jiang Chen's hand. In less than three seconds, Jiang Chen placed the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings into the Storage Jade Gourd.
Jin Jiangming was taken aback, staring at Jiang Chen as if he had seen a ghost.
Jiang Chen did not enjoy idle chatter. After securing the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, the Life-Extending Pill in his hand floated before Jin Jiangming. He had left a trace of restriction on the Life-Extending Pill, ensuring that only Jin Jiangming could consume it; anyone else who tried would find it a true hot potato, especially Cao Yuanfang.
Jin Jiangming stared wide-eyed at the pill hovering in front of him.
"Don't you want it?" Jiang Chen's voice snapped Jin Jiangming back to reality. He instinctively reached out to take the Life-Extending Pill, his expression complex as he looked at Jiang Chen with reluctance, feeling that he had suffered a great loss.
"Mr. Jiang, although you possess great abilities, you can't just take my things without discussion," Jin Jiangming said weakly. He was genuinely intimidated by Jiang Chen's earlier display, which resembled that of a martial arts master from a television drama.
"Just remember that you haven't lost anything," Jiang Chen replied as he stood up; his purpose for this visit had been achieved, and it was time to leave.
"Even if this Life-Extending Pill can truly extend life, it is still not as valuable as the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. Mr. Jiang, you must have something else to give me," Jin Jiangming insisted stubbornly.
Jiang Chen ignored him while Qin Xiaoya coldly reprimanded, "Old Jin, being able to obtain a Life-Extending Pill is already your fortune; don't be too greedy. Greed has never led to a good outcome."
Jin Jiangming fell silent; he knew that even if Jiang Chen had indeed taken the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, there was nothing he could do about it. With the Qin family and Zeng Xianyi backing him up, Jin Jiangming simply could not afford to provoke him.
"Stop!" As Jiang Chen was about to leave, Cao Yuanfang could no longer contain himself; he could not bear to watch the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings being taken right before his eyes.
Jiang Chen did not stop.
Seeing that Jiang Chen ignored him, Cao Yuanfang's anger grew. He signaled his four subordinates to block Jiang Chen's path.
Only then did Jiang Chen pause and turn to face Cao Yuanfang.
"Weren't you just saying that what we both wanted was not the same thing? Are you regretting it now?" Jiang Chen said lightly.
"Indeed," Cao Yuanfang replied straightforwardly. Although Jiang Chen had tried to trap him earlier, Cao Yuanfang felt that it didn't matter; he would not fall for such tricks.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings are crucial for Master Jin's life; he will definitely give them to me. If you take them away, are you opposing me?" Cao Yuanfang glared at Jiang Chen coldly.
Jiang Chen smiled playfully while Qin Xiaoya and Zeng Xianyi shook their heads helplessly. In this day and age, there were indeed many who lacked foresight and dared to challenge someone like him.
"What are you laughing at? This is no laughing matter," Cao Yuanfang fumed. The more calm and composed Jiang Chen and his companions appeared, the more anxious he became; he needed to use anger to bolster his own presence.
"In recent years, quite a few people like you have shouted loudly in front of my Young Master. Do you know what happened to them?" Qin Xiaoya asked with a smile.
"What happened?" Although furious, Cao Yuanfang couldn't help but ask.
