In ancient times, the term "Supreme Evil" referred to the leader of a certain faction. His notoriety was so great that it spread throughout the world causing everyone to fear and hate him regardless of where they were or what kind of country they lived in.

Even now, no one in Murim didn’t know of his name. Just by mentioning his name alone was enough to make everyone shudder in fright while telling stories of how he killed countless innocent people just for funsies.

But besides those scary stories about the Supreme Evil, there was also one more thing about him that caught Leo’s attention.

’Epigraphs. It’s said that his techniques were written on it.’

The Blue Spider Pill that Tang Yao used to brainwash and break Tang Soso originally also came from one of these epigraphs. Of course, it was just one of the lower-level skills of the Supreme Evil that couldn’t compare to his main martial arts and breathing technique.

’In my last job, I couldn’t secure the things I wanted because Tang Yao acted recklessly. My contract with him is broken. I can ask for my 3 promised items from Tang Jiaofu, but I doubt I will get something that I want. So it’s useless.’

And according to the time, the Supreme Evil’s epigraph that was found this time must be that one.

’It’s too dangerous.’

Many people would gather to take a look at this epigraph.

If the Beggar Sect could find it, then there was no reason that other parties couldn’t also find it and possibly steal it from the Beggar Sect before they could gain any benefit from it.

It would be beneficial to take part in acquiring it too if he managed to make a deal with them.

"What’s the job you want us to do? Let me warn you beforehand. If I think the job is too much, I have the right to reject it. But please don’t worry. I keep secrets better than anyone else."

"That’s reassuring." Chen Mengliang laughed. "I want you to secure the epigraph for us. We will provide you with the storage ring necessary to store it so you don’t have to worry about the mean. As for the pay..."

He raised his fingers, showing a number that made Leo blinked his eyes in surprise when he saw it.

"How about it? Do you agree to take the job?"

"3 thousand Golds?"

"Yes. Isn’t that enough? You can sustain an average family for a lifetime with that much money."

Based on what he knew from the novels, a 1000 gold would be enough for even a distinguished member of a large Clan to spend frivolously in 2 months, even with their excessive spending habit. That amount of money was not small at all and would make anyone drool.

Still, it was nothing compared to what Leo and his group got from Astrid’s Liquidation and Tang Yao’s request. They already had more than 20 thousand Gold stored in the group.

’And the danger is too high. I will need some equipment to use, and they will cost money as I need to upgrade Armory and Weaponry to Level 2 before I could use them.’

To upgrade the rooms, he had to upgrade the base first. And it wasn’t cheap.

[Level 1 Base Requirement: Rock x 230, Stone Pillars x 4, Tree Trunks x 10]

[Level 2 Base Requirement: Stone Pillars x 6, Wood Planks x 250, Iron Bars x 10, Iron 500 KG, Steel 500 KG]

Then upgrading the rooms was as follows:

He needed:

- Weaponry Level 2: Copper Ingots x 400, Steel Ingots x 200

- Armory Level 2: Wooden Logs x 200, Iron Bars x 100, Gunpowder x 250

- Infirmary Level 2: Silk Cloth x 250, Cedar Tree Trunks x 50, Cotton x 50

- Storage Room Level 2: Rock x 500, Wooden Planks x 250, Copper ingots x 200, Steel Ingots x 100

- Warp Room Level 1: Obsidian 100 KG, Warp Stone

Yes, 3,000 Gold would be far from enough just for the ingots alone. Of course, the weapon production only cost around 200-500 Gold but heavy weapons would cost him more than that, similar to upgrading the room itself.

So...

"I’m sorry, but I declined your offer." He shook his head calmly before continuing with a smile on his face, "The risk is too great and the price isn’t worth it."

"Decline? But it’s 3,000 Gold." Chen Mengliang frowned slightly in confusion when he heard Leo’s answer before asking once more, "If so, tell me your price."

’Hmm, what’s my price?’

Hypothetically, there would be some Sects and Large Clans sending their warriors to secure the epigraph. Based on what he read, some old monsters, Elders of these places, would also join the fight to secure that thing.

It wasn’t just an epigraph. It was a supreme art manual of a Supreme Evil. Surely many people would fight to get their hands on it.

What he needed the most was information. If he refused the Beggar Sect right now, he would have a hard time getting them to sell him some information in the future. They were petty individuals who held grudges easily.

Still...

"I have no price limit. But from this job, I want a minimum of 10,000 Gold and a piece of information I want as payment. That’s my requirement."

Leo said confidently while looking straight into Chen Mengliang’s eyes without backing down.

Hearing those words, Chen Mengliang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Ridiculous! There’s no way we can give you that much!" He exclaimed angrily while slamming his fists onto the table loudly, causing the entire room to shake violently.

A murderous look appeared in his eyes as he glared at Leo, "Who do you think we are?! Beggar Sect! We are not rich enough to throw money like that!"

"Do I have to remind you how we work?" Leo calmly answered as he raised his hand, stopping Chiaki from sending Coco to eat the man.

"We work for higher bids. With the information I heard earlier, I doubt Hao Sect or a large group don’t know the epigraph’s location. And if what you said is true, there will be a large-scale battle for it."

The Beggar Sect’s Branch Leader fell silent. He gritted his teeth angrily with hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Hao Sect!"

Everyone knew the rivalry... hatred between the Beggar Sect and Hao Sect. The former was from Orthodox Faction while the latter was part of the Unorthodox Faction. Both dealt with information and sold them to martial artists. It was no wonder that they were at odds with each other.

As the branch leader of a Sect, Chen Mengliang hated the Hao Sect for many reasons, but most of all...

"They get more customers than us because they dress nicely. How can Unorthodox Sect members be so out in the open! That’s our job."

When Leo heard that, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

’It’s because they know how to do business, unlike you guys.’

Even so, Beggar Sects were still respected by many martial artists and feared due to their large numbers. They could be out in the open. And in every city, there were beggars. It wasn’t unusual to see beggars wandering around a city at nighttime or early morning doing their jobs.

At that moment, his communication device rang.

[You have a call.]

He tapped the communication device in his pocket to accept it.

"What’s wrong?" He whispered.

"Leader, we have secured a potential job. A client asked us to secure an epigraph, but we haven’t talked about the details yet. If possible, would you visit the Butterfly Pavilion?"

Jessica’s voice came out from the communicator. What perfect timing.

"Okay."

After hearing Jessica’s voice, Leo grinned widely. He looked at Chen Mengliang before opening his mouth to speak, "My apologies, but I have to excuse myself. I have another appointment after this. Please don’t worry as I will not share anything we talk about in this room."

"Appointment? We haven’t talked yet." Chen Mengliang stopped Leo with a furious glare as he tried to stop him from leaving.

"Once again, I apologize. I only followed the gentleman because I still have time. We can finish our talk next time, okay? Right now, we have to go to the Butterfly Pavilion to meet our client."

Without saying another word, Leo stood up and left the shack with Chiaki.
