Chapter 386: A Gift Exchange?

After listening, Chu Jiang simply picked up his cup and took a sip of the clear wine. It tasted sweet and gentle, quite pleasant.

Then, calmly, he said, "Have you ever thought about one question? Is your Kujo family really a better place for me?"

"Or rather, do you really think Kujo family can compare to Research Institute No. 21? I won’t mention the strength between countries. Honestly, hearing you say these words only makes me think you are ignorant."

There was also an inconspicuous translator next to the bar. She got stuck halfway through translating Chu Jiang’s words, but then reluctantly continued translating.

After everyone present finished listening, most of their faces changed. One middle-aged man with a short beard looked at Chu Jiang angrily, and a cold and fiery aura filled the entire suite.

Chu Jiang remained unfazed, simply continuing to drink his wine.

Kujo Yoshii felt angry, but still took a deep breath and said, "Yamashita! What kind of attitude is this? Apologize to Captain Chu quickly."

After Yamashita reluctantly apologized, Kujo Yoshii turned his head and smiled at Chu Jiang, saying, "Captain Chu, I know you think we are not worthy of comparing to the research institute; you believe Peaceful Spirit Garden should at least approach you before being deserving of your status."

"But what I want to say is, in the eyes of the institute, you are just a captain. No matter how powerful you are, the institute cannot give everything for you."

"Similarly, the country behind you is the same."

"But it’s different on our side. If necessary, we will spare no cost to let a strong person like you reach the true peak and dominate the world!"

"Your power should not be buried like this. The strong are born to rule over the weak."

After Kujo Yoshii said these ambitious words, not only Chu Jiang felt surprised.

Even the other members of the Kujo family looked at their patriarch unbelievably. Wasn’t this a bit too exaggerated and seemed different from what was agreed before?

"I have a question," Chu Jiang shook his glass, "what benefits do you have in this?"

Kujo Yoshii smiled, "There are many benefits. Perhaps Captain Chu hasn’t realized his own worth yet. We help you reach the summit, and naturally, you will need someone to help you manage this world."

The more Chu Jiang listened, the more he wanted to laugh. "Do you really think I’m invincible? Omnipotent? Have you forgotten about Mr. Xu, forgotten that this world is plagued by ghosts everywhere?"

"Without saying anything else, I don’t even have confidence in making it out of Ghost Abyss alive tomorrow. So in my eyes, your promise is like deceiving a three-year-old child."

Kujo Yoshii didn’t change his expression, "Captain Chu, you are still very young now. Your power, perhaps, hasn’t reached its peak yet, right?"

"Our Kujo family is also a long-established prestigious clan, and has had exchanges with Kyushu since ancient times. In the records of our family, there is mention of the power you have exhibited, including the power of Chu’s Jiang lineage and the power of the Fate Giver."

Chu Jiang paused his action of swirling the wine glass, was it because of the video he had taken before? He didn’t expect someone from a foreign country to recognize it, and indeed, his power had not reached its peak yet.

"In short, by investing in you now, we are investing in the future." As the clan head said this, he respectfully raised a glass to Chu Jiang from a distance, and drank it all in one gulp.

To be honest, before Chu Jiang came, he really didn’t expect this Kujo family to have such big ambitions, using his power to dominate the world? It’s really surprising what they can come up with.

According to Chu Jiang himself, he has always had reverence for this world he is in. He doesn’t believe that he will become invincible just by fully awakening the power of Chu’s Jiang.

And he suspects that this chubby guy is just using a false slogan to temporarily deceive him, but actually has another purpose.

"Forget it, I’m not interested in this." Chu Jiang took another sip of his wine.

The attractive geisha next to him kindly poured him another drink.

"Anything else to say? If not, I’ll go first."

"Wait a moment!" Kujo Yoshii became a bit anxious, "Didn’t we agree on at least thirty minutes later?"

"Captain Chu, I understand that you still have concerns at the moment, so let’s take it one step at a time, starting with the most basic cooperation."

"How about this? To show our sincerity as the Kujo family, we can unconditionally gift you something. This item is a rare object brought back by our ancestors after their trip to Kyushu."

After saying that, he looked at Kujo Kazuki and nodded. He took out a laptop and adjusted the screen, allowing Chu Jiang to see some still images.

But after seeing it, Chu Jiang showed a strange expression. "Is this… the Sky Observing Ghost Mirror?!"

Without a doubt, this ancient bronze cosmetic mirror with a handle was the Ghost Mirror. Even the spots of long-lasting rust matched exactly with the one Chu Jiang had.

Kujo Yoshii was surprised. "Truly deserving of being the current successor of the Chu’s Jiang lineage. Captain Chu recognized it with just one glance."

"Great, this is the Ghost Mirror that claims to show scenes from all the different worlds. Even though it has some side effects, I think Captain Chu might be interested in it, so I have decided to give it to them directly as a gift."

Chu Jiang looked at the fat man seriously and wanted to say, "Are you kidding me?! The Ghost Mirror is on me, and you want to give me something that you don’t have?!"

Of course, it is also possible that the other person’s ancestors brought back a fake mirror and treasured it carefully.

But that shouldn’t be the case, as it is easy to tell whether the thing is authentic or not, and this one in Chu Jiang’s hand is definitely genuine. It has been seen by the old gentleman.

"Is it really a unconditional gift? It can’t be that simple. I am indeed very interested in this mirror. It is said that if you possess it, you can see all the scenes that have happened in the past and present."

Seeing Chu Jiang’s "excited" expression, Kujo Yoshii struck while the iron was hot and said, "Of course it’s true, but there is one troublesome thing. This mirror has been sealed by our ancestors in a stone chamber."

"He left a testament, saying that he didn’t want descendants with insufficient ability to use it, fearing that we would bring calamity upon ourselves."

"So entering this chamber is very difficult, even though we have tried many times and even Akihiko couldn’t succeed."

"Our current idea is this: If Captain Chu has the ability to take this thing, then consider it as a gift from our Kujo family. It is currently kept in our family shrine."

Finally, the fox tail is revealed? What is this, luring someone into a trap?

Chu Jiang had a "kind" smile on his face, and asked, "How did you get your photos then?"
