Ten Rings and Yashida, the Power of the Dragon Talisman
Dragon Talisman?
From a mysterious lord?
This lord, due to petrification magic, was transformed into a statue, and his divine power was divided into Twelve Talismans?
There are eleven more magical items similar to the Dragon Talisman?
Emilia and Xu Xialing listened to the Joker's story with astonished expressions, seemingly in a state of skepticism.
But...
Considering this Joker's incredible skills and unexpected entrance, it's highly likely to be true!
The two women looked at each other in silence.
I still don't understand why the Joker came to the Golden Dagger and sought out the Mandarin!
Humans are inherently wary.
Therefore, the two women remained silent without prior agreement, which made Chen Ji secretly feel troubled.
Does this mean they believed it... or they didn't?
He directly transplanted the legendary experiences of the Shendu to Earth-996!
This was to make the appearance of the Twelve Talismans more convincing and avoid any association with himself!
He deeply believed in the saying, "A common man is innocent, Covetous Burden."
He now possesses special blood and extraordinary abilities, having reached the [Perfected Sage] level!
But he must not let his guard down.
After all, all the Ancient Gods are resurrecting one after another, and they are also choosing their respective agents!
Frost Loki's whereabouts are unknown...
Thanos, the Purple Sweet Potato, covets the power of the Infinity Stones and is also eyeing the Sanctum covetously.
Even more remarkably, in this Earth-996, there's a variant of Kang!
As for the variants of Kantianism, whether they are good or evil, where do they lie?
Even the Time Variance Authority lacks specific intelligence.
So...
He couldn't afford to be careless.
After a long silence, Emilia spoke first, and she had a vague guess about what was going on.
"You want us to collect the Twelve Talismans for you?"
"Still..."
"To complete your mission through the Twelve Talismans?"
Emilia blinked her beautiful eyes.
The Dragon Talisman, resembling a blood-red gem, could actually unleash Explosive Force?
This is... a fake Zun Du?
With this Dragon Talisman, she could easily defeat General Dreykov and liberate all the sisters of the Red Room!
"That's right."
"Collect the Twelve Talismans."
"This talisman is my deposit; you can use it to do anything!"
"For example..."
"Kill General Dreykov."
Chen Ji smiled.
Emilia has finally taken the bait!
Charms and spells.
Blood Crystal.
Furthermore, it contains the power of the incantation, capable of replacing his existence; the lives killed by the talisman should also be attributed to him!
Even if it's just a little bit at a time, it will eventually bring him a rich reward, enough to earn him a Luck Value and allow him to upgrade another Red Entry!
"Dreykov?"
Xu Xialing's eyes flickered.
She had heard of this name.
This appears to be a military general from Tsarist Russia.
They also had secret dealings with the Ten Rings Gang.
Turn out to be...
Millie, oh no, Emilia, from the Red Room organization?
Xu Xialing seemed to be deep in thought.
"Don't misunderstand, Xialing."
"We all have our own unspeakable difficulties."
"When you're in the thick of it, who can act on impulse? I envy Mr. Joker, who can do whatever he wants without overstepping the bounds."
Emilia said frankly.
These remarks also resonated with Xu Xialing.
Indeed.
She and Emilia belong to the same type of person!
Tragically, fate has dealt them a cruel blow.
Without the Red Room and the Ten Rings Gang, perhaps she and Emilia would have grown up separately, like ordinary people, gone to university, graduated smoothly, got married and had children.
They will never be exposed to the dark side of society too early.
"That's all?"
Xu Xialing had a keen eye.
She knew perfectly well that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Joker and Emilia have no relation whatsoever, so why should Joker offer help unconditionally?
What's free is often the most expensive!
So...
Joker's personal visit to the Golden Dagger must have been for a reason!
"My friend has started a company in Sokovia. He needs a lot of wealth, and all I can do is help him out. In this materialistic society, it's not easy to find a true friend."
"I valued the accumulated resources of the Red Room and the Ten Rings Gang."
"This is the fee I charged."
A smile appeared on Chen Ji's face.
Wealth!
The Ten Rings Gang.
Founded over a thousand years ago, it must have accumulated enormous wealth during that time.
He can't rely on Tony Stark forever.
We must find other ways to monetize!
Vought Group is about to launch the 'Jotun Spring' project and create its first short video app, TikTok.
Five hundred million US dollars is a lot, but it's still far from enough!
That's why he came to this place and chose Emilia and Xu Xialing.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
This is a well-known folk proverb in the Eastern Nation!
"Wealth..."
Aren't you afraid we'll break the contract?
"With your capabilities, you're more than capable of wiping out the Red Room organization. It's really unnecessary for you to come after me and Emilia."
Xu Xialing shook her head.
"I'm just a businessman."
"We won't get involved in any trouble."
"Even if you refuse, it doesn't matter. My friends will always find a way."
Chen Ji shrugged.
He made a move as if he was about to leave.
He even opened a Mystic Portal, immediately throwing Xu Xialing and Emilia into a panic!
"Etc."
"I agree to this deal."
"To find other talismans for you and plunder the Red Room organization's wealth."
Emilia said hastily.
The next second.
The Dragon Talisman traced a graceful parabola before landing steadily in her palm.
"Remember the key points."
"By holding this talisman, you can unleash a powerful and terrifying burst of flames."
I look forward to your good news.
Chen Ji left behind the talisman, a smile playing on his lips, intending to observe the situation calmly.
Let's test whether the Dragon Talisman can truly bring him the Luck Value he desires!
But...
Emilia called for a stop again, immediately stopping him!
"Mr. joker."
How can I contact you?
"If I defeat General Dreykov and acquire a great deal of wealth, it will ultimately be yours."
Emilia blinked her beautiful eyes.
Holding the Dragon Talisman, she immediately felt a massive, surging wave of heat wash over her entire body, and she couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
She's determined to latch onto Joker's coattails!
We certainly can't miss any opportunity!
Does anyone have a spare phone?
"Give me one."
"You can call this backup phone to contact me from now on, but I'm very busy and may not be able to get through."
"But if I see the caller ID, I will definitely call back."
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
Then, Xu Xialing took out a spare phone and handed it to Chen Ji.
This phone also has cartoon stickers and the Ten Rings logo.
The desktop wallpaper is also a selfie of Xu Xialing.
It seems like she's cosplaying an anime character.
"You actually have this kind of hobby?"
Chen Ji smiled wryly.
He put his phone away and hid in the Mirror Dimension.
He was in Mirror Dimension, eavesdropping on Xu Xialing and Emilia's conversation.
"Oops."
"I think I gave my personal cell phone to the Joker."
Why didn't he warn me?
Xu Xialing's face stiffened.
She has a total of three cell phones.
One is used for work, one for trading, and one for living.
The phone models and styles are the same.
This led her to misread the situation and hand over her personal phone!
"Don't worry."
"Joker probably won't care about these details."
"Xialing."
"I apologize for concealing my identity, but with this Dragon Talisman, I can defeat General Dreykov!"
Emilia's eyes gleamed.
She had placed all her hopes on this talisman!
She knew how powerful the Joker was, and she had witnessed Padelite's transformation, as well as the future Joker, who had once appeared in Macau!
joker...
Although he never showed his true face, he left an exceptionally deep impression on her.
Calm, friendly, mysterious, powerful!
"Are you sure this talisman... can counter the Red Room organization?"
Xu Xialing frowned.
She didn't have many doubts about the origin of the Dragon Talisman.
After all, her father, the Mandarin, also unexpectedly found a pair of Ten Rings, gained godlike power, and obtained the magic of immortality.
The Mandarin was also incredibly fascinated by legends and myths from various countries.
Her mother Ying Li, came from an ancient place.
She understands the world better Emilia.
However, I have never heard of the existence of the 'Twelve Talismans'.
"Just find a quiet place and test it out."
Emilia laughed.
The two then quickly left the Golden Dagger and went to a secluded spot on the outskirts of Macau.
An abandoned factory that has been in disrepair for many years.
The cool moonlight filtered through the cracks in the brick walls, casting its light into the factory.
This added a touch of eeriness to the already haunted house-like environment.
"Huh?"
"It even has a tail, following Xu Xialing?"
"The Ten Rings Gang?"
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
He hid in the Mirror Dimension, his perception was extraordinary, and he immediately noticed a car slowly stopping outside the factory.
On the bus.
Sitting there was an ordinary-looking young man, but on his wrist was a Ten Rings tattoo!
This is the symbol of the Ten Rings Gang!
So the Mandarin had been secretly watching his precious daughter all along?
That makes sense.
Even a powerful figure the Mandarin could not suppress emotions.
Besides, this is Ying Li's child.
Without the Mandarin's protection, how could Xu Xialing, a mere woman, have gained a foothold in Macau and become the owner of Golden Dagger?
But...
Besides the Ten Rings Gang, another group of thugs in suits appeared on the other side of the abandoned factory.
This group of thugs in suits belonged neither to the Ten Rings Gang, nor to the Golden Dagger, nor to the Red Room Organization.
"Neon?"
"... Yashida Clan?"
Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat.
So the Yashida Clan never gave up on revenge?
Unable to find Padelite, they turned to Emilia?
They want to use Emilia to force Padelite's location out of him?
"Those little devils really haven't given up their evil intentions..."
"This is going to be interesting."
Chen Ji curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
At the same time.
Emilia and Xu Xialing were also studying the Dragon Talisman, a blood-red gem with a hard texture, a restrained radiance, and an aura of explosive fire.
"Grasp the talisman..."
"So that it can unleash Explosive Fire?"
Emilia murmured to herself.
Then, she gripped the talisman tightly, and the Dragon Talisman immediately shone with a brilliant light, the zodiac patterns on its surface seeming to come alive.
It infused her with an Explosive Force!
A scorching flame erupted from his right hand!
However, this did not cause any backlash against Emilia.
"Emilia ..."
"How are you?"
Xu Xialing looked shocked.
Even my heart skipped a beat!
This!
Absolutely incredible!
It turns out what the Joker said was true!
Grasp the Dragon Talisman, and you can unleash Explosive Fire?!
What is the maximum power level of a flame?
"Very good!"
"Step back."
"I'm about to unleash my power!"
Emilia smiled smugly.
Wave your right hand immediately!
Boom!
A blazing, scorching Explosive Fire, as thick as a water pipe, burst forth instantly, transforming into a straight beam of energy!
In the blink of an eye, it hit the rusty equipment in the distance.
The terrifyingly high temperature, far exceeding 2000 degrees Celsius, melted the damaged machine tool in less than two seconds!
It was completely melted into a pool of molten iron.
It flows slowly across the ground.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of casting!
The power of the Dragon Talisman caused Xu Xialing and Emilia to lose their minds and almost stop breathing!
Simply...
The two women were completely dumbfounded!
The Dragon Talisman is terrifying!
There are eleven mysterious items resembling Dragon Talisman?!
If I could collect Twelve Talismans, wouldn't I be invincible?
Emilia's emotions were in turmoil.
Meanwhile.
Upon hearing the explosion, the thugs in suits quickly got out of their vehicles, grabbed various weapons, and rushed into the factory!
Due to strict gun control in the Eastern Nation, the weapons used by this group of thugs were almost all homemade, but their power should not be underestimated.
"Your..."
"What are you doing?"
"Where is Reed?!"
One of the leaders spoke broken Mandarin.
He stared at the burning machine tool with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
