Chapter 261: Chapter 261

Even Zhou Yitian, who has long been mingling in the entertainment industry, was stunned. The price was ridiculously high.

This was close to ten million.

The whole office building was only thirty million to buy, and this was already a third of a new price?

Seeing Zhou Yitian’s face turned a bit unsightly, Li Jing smiled and explained, "Brother Zhou might not know, but Master Chen’s services start at a million. Our entertainment circle’s Yang Zhenzhen was just an eighteenth-tier star back then. To change her fate and become famous, she gave Master Chen 40 million, which is how she got her status in the entertainment circle now. This price isn’t high."

A girl named Xiao Yue frowned and couldn’t help but say, "This... this is too exaggerated."

No one dared to utter a sound, as this price was not within their reach.

Su Li’s expression remained unchanged, revealing no joy or sorrow.

Master Chen spread out his dark robe and let out a slight hum from his nose, saying, "Boss Su doesn’t want to pay the ritual fee? If it weren’t for the invitation of my friend Li Jing, would I act without reason?!"

Master Chen’s face instantly darkened, and an anger rose from the top of his head.

He was clad in a dark robe, looking like a celestial being. His anger brought about a massive pressure, making people feel a chill.

Li Jing immediately stepped forward, anxiously saying, "Master Chen, please don’t misunderstand. Our Boss Su is just a young girl, and it’s her first time asking for a ritual, so she might not know the rules. Please don’t mind, please don’t mind."

Master Chen raised his chin and coldly snorted, "I’ve performed rituals for many wealthy families across Hua Country, and when have I ever been treated ? Pay up quickly, and I will go rest."

Li Jing, stuck between Master Chen and Su Li, was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead, making the employees feel a pang of sympathy for her.

They were all behind-the-scenes in the entertainment circle, and they had heard about Sister Jing through acquaintances.

Sister Jing was caught in the middle, making efforts but receiving no thanks.

Su Li gently brushed her eyes, her brow and eyes carrying a slight, water-like, indifferent smile.

Her eyes told her it wasn’t that simple.

Master Chen and Li Jing were quite something; one played the villain, while the other played the good guy, leaving her to play the bad guy! Updates are released by novel⸺fire.net

Su Li clasped her hands behind her back and walked towards her office with a faint smile, saying, "The last thing I lack is money. But this money should be spent well. Master Chen, are you sure this ritual is really worth 9.99 million?"

Zhou Yitian was shocked, immediately winking at Su Li.

Although he didn’t understand the metaphysics in the entertainment circle, this master was known to have real skills.

Master Chen’s face turned cold, and he immediately scolded, "What does Boss Su mean by this?"

Su Li smiled gently, pointing to the Dan Zhu Talisman on the wall of her office, and asked, "Isn’t there something wrong with this talisman?"

Her words struck like a thunderclap, startling Master Chen into stepping back two paces.

He glanced at Li Jing, who also looked astonished.

No one had heard that Boss Su understood metaphysics; if she did, why would she invite a master?

She probably just didn’t want to pay, likely trying to fraud them!

Master Chen regained his previous composure, waved his robe, and immediately shouted angrily, "Nonsensical talk! How could there be any problem with my talismans?"

Master Chen crossed his hands behind his back, staring at Su Li with a cold smile, "What an ignorant little girl! If you don’t deliver the 9.99 million within three days, the entire metaphysical community of Hua Country will break ties with you!"

Master Chen, full of anger, turned to leave as soon as he finished speaking.

The glass door suddenly pushed open, and a cool, thin voice rang out, "May I ask which master is so arrogant and domineering?"
