"By the way, last time, I mentioned that I was going to give you a car, where do you want to receive it? However, this car won't arrive so soon. It will probably reach the United States in three to four hours!" At this moment, Lin Yun suddenly remembered something and said.

"What? Mr. Lin, are you serious? You're really going to give us a car?" Lang Jiuping asked with great excitement.

He remembered the car he had operated last time and how powerful some properties of it were. Lin Yun had also mentioned that the car was worth hundreds of millions. Was Lin Yun really going to give them something worth that much?

"Of course, it's true. While you have some time, you can choose a location. In about three to four hours, I will have it delivered." Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

That vehicle was just a very basic one. Even a customized one, if purchased from the Cosmic Trading System, would only cost around a Spirit Crystal.

Since he had made a promise, he would not break his word.

A single Spirit Crystal was insignificant to him now. If this car could help the others collect Spirit-items more efficiently for him, then it would be worth it.

However, a car, especially one without proper documentation, could not go anywhere. Although he could utilize technologies to provide the car with legal documentation, some specific information could not be appropriately detailed in reality.

Lin Yun didn't want to bother with the hassle, so he decided to leave the documentation responsibility to them.

"Alright, thank you very much, Mr. Lin. You can have the car delivered to..." Lang Jiuping quickly gave another address. He was aware that their current location was not suitable for receiving a car like this.

Soon, the call ended.

In the meantime, Lin Yun had already messaged Lin Jiu in the United States about collecting the Spirit-item.

After the call, Lin Yun summoned Lin Si and asked him to go to the United States in his flying vehicle, bringing a custom car that looked similar to a specific brand on earth.

On one hand, the flying vehicle was fast and could deliver the car sooner.

On the other hand, Lin Si could also bring back the Spirit-item with a higher grade more quickly.

Although he was not in a rush for a higher-grade Spirit-item, the sooner he had it, the better.

Given the rate he was getting Spirit Crystals, he could accumulate enough to buy a professional spirit energy absorption and refining item within two days.

...

When Lin Si started his journey, in the United States, Lang Jiuping and his team began discussing again.

"Boss, you think... do you think they will kill us first, then loot the billion dollar item..." someone voiced his concern fearfully.

"They shouldn't, right? That Lin Yun seemed quite affluent. Plus, their team was so powerful that they shouldn't break their promise over ten billions. Didn't he just say he was going to give us a car? That car alone is worth hundreds of millions..." someone else hesitated.

"That's exactly why I'm even more worried. Perhaps he mentioned the car in order to placate us. You know, a car worth hundreds of millions... he brought up the gift, not us. Does Lin Yun have more money than he knows what to do with? He said the car would be in America in just three to four hours.

That implies it's not in the US now. Can you believe that, no matter where it is, he can get it to America in just three to four hours... and also to a nearby location...?" The person who voiced his concern earlier shook his head again.

"You say they're powerful. That's exactly why I'm scared. Ten billions... even for a highly ranked Martial Arts Grandmaster, it would be a tempting sum. Lots of big corporations can't even make that much in a few years. They're not like the people we usually deal with.

They're so powerful. We wouldn't stand a chance if they decide to do something harmful..." After a pause, the man continued.

"Damn it, the way you put it, I'm also getting worried..." someone expressed his frustration.

"So, are we not going to do this transaction?" someone else suggested.

"But our boss has already agreed to the deal with them. If we back out now, we will be playing them. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Anyone who offends our Cloud clan will be annihilated no matter how far they run'? If we back out now, wouldn't we be giving them a reason to kill us? Unless we plan to hide for the rest of our lives..." someone immediately shook his head.

"Alright, everyone stop talking. We'll see how things go..." The discussions among his subordinates made Lang Jiuping a bit anxious. He waved his hand and said with frustration.

After hearing about how formidable Lin Yun and his team were, and after acquiring the Spirit-item earlier, right at that moment he impulsively called Lin Yun about the transaction. Now, all the details about the transaction had been finalized. To back out now would indeed seem like playing them.

Given Lin Yun and his team's capabilities, Lang Jiuping didn't dare to provoke them.

While in this fearful state, ten minutes quickly passed.

At this moment, a knock sounded on the door of Lang Jiuping's hotel suite.

Hearing the knock, Lang Jiuping and his team were startled. After exchanging looks, one of them went to open the door.

"You must be Mr. Lang. I am Lin Jiu. I am here on the orders of our young master to collect the item!" Three men in black appeared outside. The man in the front, looking at Lang Jiuping amidst the crowd, said.

The man in black leading the others was Lin Jiu. The two others with him were robots with lower capabilities. Lin Yun had tasked Lin Jiu with going to the United States to procure various resources. Lin Jiu didn't have many helpers, so many things were challenging.

"We're done for. He said they were here to collect, but he didn't say anything about payment..." Hearing this sentence, some people felt a chill in their hearts.

"The aura of this person is so strong. I'm afraid he's not a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but a powerful person at the late stage or peak of Dark Strength..." Some people took deep breaths in surprise.

"We brought the item. Please check if it's satisfactory, sir." Lang Jiuping, who was more brave, promptly invited them into the room and said.

At that moment, he had already decided that they could afford to lose the item without the money, as long as they were not harmed.

While he was talking, he was watching the men closely for any bad moves. He was prepared to shout out critical information at any time.

Presumably, as long as they didn't demand money and the men got the item, they wouldn't kill them all, right? Lang Jiuping thought to himself.

Lin Yun had asked Lin Wu to Lin Jiu to walk around various locations, thinking that they might encounter Spirit-items to purchase. He prepared items that could detect Spirit information for Lin Yi to Lin Jiu to carry by their sides.

"The item is fine. What is your bank account number?" Lin Jiu quickly checked the item. He looked up at them and asked.

"Huh?" Lang Jiuping and his companions froze.

Bank account? Were they actually planning to pay?

"Our bank account number is..." In the end, it was Lang Jiuping who reacted quickly and quickly recited a series of bank account numbers.

Lin Jiu took out a phone and began to operate it. Soon, he transferred ten billion dollars into the bank account Lang Jiuping had given.

Lin Jiu's action was so swift that Lang Jiuping and his people remained in a daze even when Lin Jiu was ready to leave.

"Don't forget to pick up that car in three hours..." At the door, Lin Jiu suddenly turned around and reminded them when he was walking out.

Lin Jiu's sudden turn almost scared Lang Jiuping and his crew out of their wits. Hearing Lin Jiu's words, Lang Jiuping pulled out an awkward smile and said, "Thank you for reminding us, sir. We will go there shortly."

"You don't need to go too early, or else you will have to wait." Lin Jiu shook his head and said.

After he said that, Lin Jiu left with the two men in black.
