"Even if I let you pass this time, my brother is not so easy to deal with. What do you plan to use to persuade him? He is even less understanding of kindness than I am. If there is any disrespect, tsk tsk." Taking advantage of Eve's flustered state, Bu leaned against his weapon, speaking lazily while continuing to apply pressure.
"You shameless people!" Eve trembled with anger. Having been in the mercenary world for so long, she had never felt so humiliated. She was always the one teasing others, and no one had ever been able to toy with her. Yet today, she was experiencing the taste of being mocked for the first time.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's not right." Bu suddenly leaned closer, opening his mouth wide to point at his teeth. "Look at my teeth, see clearly."
"You..." Eve's eyes widened in disbelief, a mist forming in her eyes as she felt like she might cry from anger. There were plenty of shameless people around, but she had never encountered someone as brazen as this Fellow before.
"My girl, hurry up and show me some real benefits. My brother doesn't have a good temper." Bu suddenly realized that teasing Eve was quite entertaining, especially watching her look so wronged yet unable to retaliate. Her tearful expression was incredibly pleasing to the eye.
"That bastard is so infuriating! If I ever get the chance to deal with him, I will make him taste the consequences of falling into my hands." Realizing that playing the victim was useless against this cold-hearted man, Eve begrudgingly pulled out a silver inner armor from her Storage Bracelet and handed it to Bu.
Bu quickly took the silver armor, glanced at it, and tossed it to Hong Lian. "Just an Excellence Level Amplification Equipment. Not enough."
Eve bit her lip, constantly reminding herself to endure. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a glove and handed it over. In that instant of handing it over, a trace of reluctance appeared on her face, but in the end, she still gave the glove to Bu.
The glove had an unusual design, entirely dark red as if made from some kind of metal, shimmering with a chilling Cold Light. The tips of the five fingers resembled beastly claws, curving sharply and wrapping up to the elbow in a shape reminiscent of bird wings. It looked quite imposing.
After taking the glove and examining it closely, Bu couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"Augustus's Absolute Control Category: Clothing Armor Required Equipment Level: Unique Attribute: Strength +10 (0) Agility +8 (16) Constitution +6 (1) Enchanted Attribute: Amplification Strength 10% (Amplification Strength 20%). Enchantment Skills: Absolute Control (Unavailable) Thunder Judgment (Unavailable) Material: Transcendent (Incomplete) Weight: 105 grams Description: Absolute control that does not allow for any opposition."
"Transcendent level," Bu's eyes lit up as he examined the oddly shaped glove closely. He noticed it was a left-hand glove that seemed too large at first glance; however, once worn, it shrank strangely and wrapped around his hand like flowing water, fitting perfectly.
After clenching his fist and feeling it for a moment, Bu sighed in admiration yet disappointment. "What a pity it's incomplete."
"Hmph, if it weren't incomplete, do you think I would show it to you? Of course, if you really have the luck to find another right glove and piece together this Augustus's absolute control, you might even restore the full power of this glove." Eve pouted, looking at the glove in Bu's hand, her eyes clearly showing a hint of reluctance.
"Give me this treasure back. As for your schemes against me, I won't hold it against you. Also, if I manage to get the White Bone Ghost Lotus, I want seventy percent." Bu tossed the glove to Hong Lian and lazily pointed at the bowl-like object in Eve's hand.
"No way. I can give you this Stasis Bowl, but I must have forty percent of the White Bone Ghost Lotus. I need to take on significant risks for this, and forty percent is my bottom line." Facing Bu's bold demands, Eve was very firm.
Bu's eyes gradually narrowed as he stared at the woman before him for a moment. Her gaze remained steadfast and unyielding despite his scrutiny. Finally, Bu slowly nodded, "Alright, you'll arrange the specific plan. I'll just be responsible for taking action. If there's any life-threatening danger, I'll abandon the White Bone Ghost Lotus and withdraw immediately."
"What about him?" Eve glanced at Hong Lian. She had already noticed that Bu held the dominant position between the two, but in terms of importance regarding the acquisition of the White Bone Ghost Lotus, Hong Lian's displayed strength was clearly more significant in Eve's eyes, hence her question.
"My meaning is also his meaning," Bu smiled casually. "It's your strategy; you decide how to proceed."
Eve nodded, a hint of contemplation flashing in her captivating eyes. As the three continued walking, she slowly said, "Since it's a collaboration, I won't hide anything anymore. The existence of the White Bone Ghost Lotus on Yin Mountain is known only to two groups: one led by Rondo from the Blizzard Mercenary Corps, and the other led by Byron from the Divine Mercenary Corps.
Given the significance of this matter, once news of the White Bone Ghost Lotus leaks out, it could attract other powerful individuals' attention. Therefore, both groups have been very discreet about this matter and did not bring large numbers of people to this Black Abyss Ravine, only selecting a few trusted elite members for exploration.
I have collaborated with Byron on several missions before. This time, he secretly invited me to infiltrate the Blizzard Mercenary Corps and provide him with intelligence to eliminate this competitor.
Upon receiving this invitation, I began preparations a month ago. After employing various methods, I finally gained Rondo's trust and participated in their treasure-hunting team. However, since I am not a member of the Blizzard Mercenary Corps, Rondo's trust in me is quite limited. It took considerable effort before I managed to leak some useful information.
Looking back now, because of the information I released, it's likely that the other three members of the treasure-hunting team formed by Rondo have already perished at Byron's hands." By the end of her statement, Eve's voice grew somber, and a hint of coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes, causing Bu Shuang, who had been observing her closely, to feel a surge of caution.
"If what you're saying is true—now that one tiger has fallen with Rondo's death—you're invited by Byron. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to seek your share from them? What are you plotting with me?" Bu Xin felt wary and reevaluated the danger posed by Eve. Collaborating with someone like her truly felt like courting disaster.
Hearing this, Eve glanced at Bu and playfully licked her lips with her delicate tongue, her movements flirtatious and charming. "Are you afraid that I might eat you up?"
Step's expression froze for a moment, then he shot a fierce glare at Eve, lingering on her curvaceous body for a moment before saying harshly, "It seems you've forgotten the pain after healing your wounds. Do you want me to give you another shot in the other breast to make it symmetrical?"
"Oh dear, I'm so scared," Eve exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide, continuing to provoke him on the brink of his explosion. She playfully patted her uninjured chest and giggled, "Hehe, don't worry. Collaborating with you is something I had no choice but to do; I won't harbor any other thoughts. As long as you don't harm me, I naturally won't scheme against you."
"Byron had already given me my reward before inviting me. Look, this Stasis Bowl is one of them. However, the lady's heart is a bit too big. I could have taken out the entire Blizzard Mercenary Corps' elite team for him, including Rondo."
If it were just that little reward given before, it would clearly be unprofitable. But with the White Bone Ghost Lotus involved, Byron wouldn't let me have a share of it. If I were to find them now, having lost my value, they would definitely not show mercy; being killed outright would be considered good luck. With a beauty like me, what do you think would happen next?"
Eve narcissistically stroked her cheek and glanced at Step with sparkling eyes before continuing, "While walking in this Black Abyss Ravine, some disguise is essential. I thought you wouldn't find me, yet unexpectedly you did.
When you suddenly attacked, I could have resisted, but at that moment, my intuition told me that if I fought back, the outcome would ultimately be death. So I let you stab me with your gun, and the result proved my intuition was correct. After that, I further tested you; your performance satisfied me. Therefore, I changed my mind at the last minute and chose you as my partner. We won't leave this Black Abyss Ravine; instead, we'll target Byron and his group and take a bite out of their meal.
However, since I don't know much about you, I've been keeping some things hidden. I planned to come clean when the time was right but didn't expect you to notice my identity."
Eve smiled lightly and casually handed the Stasis Bowl to Step. Seeing him silently take it and examine it, she spoke again: "I've gone through everything with you in detail; now let's head to the top of Yin Mountain first. Byron and his group should already be on their way there. We're in the dark while they are in the light; let them take the lead. The Two-Headed Lizard's colony is not easy to breach."
After carefully examining the specific attributes of the Stasis Bowl, Step's expression remained calm. He nodded in response but said nothing more. Regarding Eve's words, he would selectively listen but not believe everything. Moreover, after understanding this woman's character better, he became even more cautious around her.
