Bai Meiyue was stunned when she received the notification. She raised her head and looked up at the blue screen in front of her and surprise flashed in her eyes.
Good guy!
She thought that the barter system was already a great golden finger that she had received from the heavens but she never thought that there was actually a chance to upgrade it.
However, she only showed surprise for a few seconds before returning to normal. She did not wish for Lu Ling to sense something amiss.
"Here," Lu Ling didn’t notice any fluctuations in Bai Meiyue and turned to look at her. "Like you asked me, I have brought you the promised set of rifles, guns, machine guns, X-bows, and—"
He continued to list the items and Bai Meiyue continued to carefully open the boxes that were placed inside the warehouse.
And while Lu Ling was counting off the items off the lists, she took advantage of his lack of attention and sneakily pushed the boxes with the ancient artefacts inside the small space ring before straightening up.
"There you go." Lu Ling threw the list that Bai Meiyue had given to him right in front of her feet and said to her, "I have held my side of the bargain. Now it’s your turn."
"Sure," Bai Meiyue smiled as she threw a pill to Lu Ling and said to him, "This is your first set of antidote."
"First set?" Lu Ling, who caught the pill in his hands, squeaked and looked at Bai Meiyue in shock. "What do you mean by first set?"
"There is no need to look so shocked, CEO Lu," Bai Meiyue sneered as she stated in a cold voice, "It’s just as I said: you need to take this antidote for the next four months or else your condition will only get worse."
"You—" Lu Ling felt his head buzz. He stepped forward and shouted at Bai Meiyue, "You dare cheat me?"
Bai Meiyue shrugged and commented, "I learnt from the best, CEO Lu. Don’t forget that just because my father agreed to give you some benefits, you made him my beneficiary and let him make decisions for me and even took a huge chunk of my earnings through a loophole in the contract."
"Compared to you, I am still merciful."
She then smiled and added, "And if you were in my place, would you be foolish enough to hand over the entire antidote at once?"
Lu Ling stared at Bai Meiyue as if he wished to kill her then and there. As if realising his intentions, Bai Meiyue covered her mouth and said in a fake terrified voice, "CEO Lu, don’t tell me. You want to kill me? But if you kill me, what will happen to you? Who will provide you with the antidote?"
When Bai Meiyue saw that Lu Ling was so angry that his face was turning purple, she sniggered and swaggered out of the warehouse. She then turned to look at the truck driver who was standing outside the warehouse and said to him, "Pack the things up and deliver them to the Sky High apartments."
She gave the man the apartment number of her old place and then drove away, feeling quite pleased after disgusting Lu Ling.
