"As long as the cost isn't too high?"

Emilia's eyes glazed over, and she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

A man's words are a liar's mouth!

She knew all too well that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Almost every windfall comes with a hidden price.

But...

She had no intention of breaking off relations. This mysterious and unpredictable Joker had piqued her interest, and perhaps he could help her get rid of the Red Room's control once and for all!

After a moment's thought.

Emilia smiled and said quickly.

"I don't have any particular desires, but I spent about six months at the Golden Dagger Club and got to know some fighters who are yearning to gain extraordinary abilities."

"Since you Omnipotence and Omniscience... you should be able to help him fulfill this wish, right?"

Emilia blinked her beautiful eyes.

She was constantly using her charm.

However, it did not stir up even the slightest ripple in Chen Ji's heart.

"He?"

"Your man?"

"If he's willing to pay the price, I can indeed grant his wish."

"And it won't let him get hurt in any way."

Chen Ji opened a bottle of whiskey, poured it into a glass, and slowly drank it.

He already has the Blue Entry "[Disease Immunity]".

Even if the wine was poisoned, it wouldn't cause him any trouble.

This action also indirectly confirmed his extraordinary nature, causing Emilia's beautiful eyes to sparkle. She hurriedly took out her phone and made a call.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

A bald man wearing a sports hoodie, with a cold face, bandaged hands, and an aura of ferocity, walked into the room.

"Emilia."

"You called me over because there's a big business deal coming up?"

"I do urgently need the money, but I won't do anything immoral."

The bald man glanced at Chen Ji, seemed to sense something, and immediately made his stance clear.

This made Chen Ji feel somewhat favorably towards him.

Do the boxers at the Golden Dagger Club actually have principles and a bottom line?

[Name]: Padelite

[Identity]: Match-fixing boxer

[Entry]: Daughter-Doting Demon (white), Retired Coach (white), doomed (black).

[Daughter-Doting Demon] (White): He is a single father raising his only daughter alone, treating her as the apple of his eye. Anyone who touches his daughter is as if he were taking his life.

[Retired Coach] (White): He used to be a professional boxing coach, but due to reaching middle age, he was dismissed and had no choice but to become a match-fixing boxer in order to make a living.

[He's Doomed] (Black): He accidentally stumbled upon the Yashida Clan's flour business, causing the Yashida Clan to suffer huge losses, and he's about to die.

"Padelite."

Hello.

Please call me Joker.

"I want to discuss a big business deal with you."

"With just a small price to pay, you can gain extraordinary power."

Are you interested?

Chen Ji smiled.

Then, he directly called out the bald man's name, causing Emilia and Padelite's expressions to change.

"Do you know me?"

"Joker, what's your purpose?"

Padelite's pupils contracted as he stared at the mysterious man wearing Joker Mask, his fists clenching as if he were about to attack at any moment!

He mistook Chen Ji for a gang member with whom he had a dispute.

After all, in this chaotic Golden Dagger Club, anything is possible!

And recently, he happened to get involved in a dangerous incident!

To protect his daughter's safety, he even planned to leave Macau!

"Purpose?"

"Didn't I already say that?"

"I can grant you extraordinary power."

"That's my purpose."

"And what I want is to see you use my power to bring a little fun to this world."

"So... what power do you want to obtain?"

When Chen Ji put on the Joker Mask, it was as if his personality had changed. His eyes held an extreme quality, making him look like a bewitching devil.

The next second.

He clenched his right hand tightly, instantly conjuring a burst of magical sparks that shone with a dazzling, intense purple light.

Seeing this scene.

Emilia and Padelite looked at each other, hardly believing their eyes.

Is this magic?

Or... Wiccan?

"To bring a little fun to the world?"

"That's all?"

"As far as I know, everything has a price, and the devil is usually not happy to help people. I have other things to do, so please don't contact me again."

Padelite shook his head.

At thirty, one stands firm; at forty, one is free from doubt.

He was already middle-aged and had a faith to uphold; he couldn't risk trying anything.

Otherwise, if he dies a violent death, his only daughter will be an orphan, and who will pay for her treatment?

No!

"... All right."

"It's entirely voluntary."

"But I'll be waiting for you at the Golden Dagger Club."

"However, Padelite."

"Your forehead is dark; your life may be in danger."

"Don't blame me for not warning you."

Chen Ji dispelled his magic and shrugged helplessly.

He knew it wouldn't be that simple!

Trust is hard-won.

Only by going with the flow can one thrive.

"His forehead is dark...?"

"Could his life be in danger?"

Just as Patrick was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, placed his hand on the doorknob, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

Could it be...?

Yashida will take action the moment he leaves Macau?!

"I suggest you walk faster."

Otherwise... your daughter might be in danger.

Chen Ji shrugged.

His grasp of human nature is already unparalleled!

Besides, he also has the Entry System?

All living beings have needs.

Once you understand others' core needs, the crisis of trust will be easily resolved!

"What do you know?!"

Padelite was secretly furious.

As a true Daughter-Doting Demon, he could endure the Lash and humiliations of life, but he couldn't bear to let his daughter lose a single hair!

"You've ruined the Yashida Clan's flour business."

"This led to huge losses for the Yashida Clan."

"Did they really think that everything would be fine if they just left?"

"How... childish."

Chen Ji was both amused and exasperated.

Before he could finish speaking...

But Patrick's face was deathly pale, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably!

"You really can... grant me supernatural powers?"

What price do I need to pay?

Patriel, resigned to his fate, lowered his proud head, utterly devoid of any spirit.

"... State your wish, and I will accept payment as appropriate."

"Rest assured."

"I am more merciful than the devil."

"I would never harm you."

Chen Ji smiled.

He then immediately consumed 100 points of Luck Value to generate a Pink Entry.

Twisted and irregular abstract Rune immediately condensed on his palm.

After much hesitation, Padelite finally made up his mind!

"Strength!"

"I will raze the power of the Yashida Clan to the ground!"

Padelite almost roared as he voiced his wish.

"Raze... the Yashida Clan?"

"Can the Joker really do it?"

Emilia's beautiful eyes flashed.

The Yashida Clan!

But they are local wealthy and powerful families in Japan!

After World War II, the current head of the family, Ichiro Yashida, leveraged his military and political connections to aggressively enter various business sectors, including scientific research, semiconductors, home appliances, food, automobiles, and film...

The company's market capitalization is almost on par with Stark Industries!

Even General Dreykov couldn't bring down such a massive conglomerate.

joker...

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

This greatly shocked Emilia!

Their gazes toward Chen Ji turned to one of awe.

She really struck gold!

However, seeing is believing.

Emilia did not readily believe Chen Ji's one-sided story!

[The Pink Entry has been generated. Please name the entry; the name will determine its effect.]

Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly.

'The power to the Yashida Clan?'

'You've got quite the nerve!'

'If I don't fleece you, I'm not the Joker!'
