Chapter 2189: You Don’t Know How Powerful I Am
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyes fell on him.
“Someone gave me your portrait and asked me to take care of you. You don’t have to ask me who this person is, because I don’t know who he is either. A few years ago, he saved my life and I gave him a token in return. So back then, he sent someone to deliver your portrait together with the token to me.”
Feng Jiu was slightly surprised when she heard this. Everyone she knew flashed through her mind, and she asked: “Back then, was it a man or a woman who saved you? Old or young?”
Uncle Black thought for a while, then he replied with a smile: “He should be an old man to you.”
Old man?
Feng Jiu’s heart moved, and she thought of the old man who had given her the blue lotus. Back then, after he had given her the blue lotus, there had been no more news of him. Could it be him that had entrusted the Black Market Master to take care of her? She couldn’t think of anyone else other than him.
“I have to thank you for saving me this time.” He looked at Feng Jiu and said: “In the past, we looked out for you because I had to return the favour. However, later on, you didn’t really need our help much anyway. But now that you have saved my life, I have to repay your kindness.”
Feng Jiu smiled when she heard this: “How would Uncle Black like to repay me?” She looked at him and smiled: “Saving your life is not something money can pay off! Besides, I am not short of money either.”
“Of course.” He nodded. His face was serious as he spoke: “How about this, I will give you the Black Market!”
Feng Jiu was stunned: “What?” Did she hear him correctly?
“I said I will give you the Black Market, in the future, you will be the Master of the Black Market. What do you think?” He looked at her with a smile as he thought it was a good idea.
“You built the Black Market with your own hands, and now you want to give it to me? You can’t do that.” She waved her hand: “Besides, I don’t have the energy to manage such a large Black Market. I don’t want it.”
When he saw her disdain, his mouth couldn’t help but twitch: “So many people would love to own my Black Market, but you have a look of disgust. Do you know how powerful the Black Market is?”
Upon hearing that, Feng Jiu smiled: “Uncle Black, don’t boast. The Black Market’s power is quite large, I know that. But after you were poisoned by the Five Poison Sect’s poison, which of the Black Market branches had remained open? If I had to guess, I would say that someone inside the Black Market is causing trouble!”
She spoke idly, with her chin resting on one hand. She smiled and said: “The Black Market is a mess right now, I don’t want to take over. I have enough problems myself. Besides, you’ve been cooperating with me for so long now, you know that the forces under me are comparable to the Black Market forces.”
Uncle Black shook his head and smiled: “Alright, it’s fine if you don’t want this mess. Why don’t you be my goddaughter then!”
“I don’t want to do such a disadvantageous thing.” Her lips curled, she glanced at him and said: “I save you but you want me to be your goddaughter? I have to call you Godfather? You’re taking advantage of me.”
“That’s only because you don’t know my real identity, you don’t know the strength and power of my family clan.” He smiled and shook his head. He looked at her and said: “I can tell you truthfully that you won’t be at a disadvantage becoming my goddaughter. In fact, it will be very good for you.”
Feng Jiu said disapprovingly: “What are the benefits? Your strong family clan has nothing to do with me! Even if there are any advantages, your children will reap them. I’m not doing it.”
