Only a fool would think that Tianlong Yun meant nothing by the words he said, and Patriarch Muto was not a fool.
In fact, he was quite the sly fox, and that was also one of the reasons that Tianlong Yun decided to divulge so much information to him on purpose.
There were two ways to deal with a sly fox like Patriarch Muto, either cheat him with more slyness than his or give him too much information and he will start cheating himself.
Sly people had a habit to think about everything more than thrice, before making a decision. So giving them too much information was the same as overriding their processors.
There were two ways this could end, either they would get too absorbed in the information and create a mess that even they were unable to solve or grab hold of their curiosity and cooperation.
No matter what, Tianlong Yun was assured that Patriarch Muto would be unable to resist his curiosity and interests.
Furthermore, there was an important part of the deal that could work on his way. With Tianlong Yun's information and knowledge, he would be able to enter the next realm rather easily.
While Tianlong Yun on the other hand would need quite some time to actually gather the necessary inner energy to reach it.
It was the same as comparing a 2nd grader to a 9th grader, the second-grader could have the knowledge beyond the 9th grader, but he lacked the height, age, and body to reach that stage.
Furthermore, Tianlong Yun accepted himself that this deal would be valid until one side managed to easily subdue the other.
Thinking all this, Patriarch Muto felt that this was a great deal and opportunity for him. So, he didn't take long to think before saying,
"Very well young man, you got yourself a deal!"
"Hahahaha~! Patriarch Muto is truly a man worthy of praise for his vision and decisiveness! Well, then allow me to commemorate our deal with this!"
As he said that, Tianlong Yun took out of his space ring a small booklet that seemed quite a bit ancient.
It was a book talking about the thoughts of a great being regarding the Realms, levels, and stages that one had to go through in order to reach higher Realms.
The highest Realm in the book was precisely the Low God Realm, containing also the thoughts and experiences of that Master, but it was clear that the book didn't finish.
It only looked like someone had carefully removed the remaining part and patched the book once again. That was something that Patriarch Muto could see through with just one look.
Sure, he had the urge to scream or start asking out loud Tianlong Yun for the remainder of the book, but he couldn't.
With what he had seen of Tianlong Yun until that moment, he knew that this young man was a prudent and careful one, that wouldn't easily make mistakes.
There was an aura of confidence and pride around him, that wouldn't let him get on the worse end of the stick.
Most probably the reason why he hadn't tried hard to erase his traces and prints of taking a part of the book, was because he wanted Patriarch Muto to know.
He wanted to create a chance of future trade among the two later if his current plans didn't work as well as he had expected them to.
Patriarch Muto was left with no choice but to try his best to control himself, his curiosity, and his emotions in order to show the kid that not everything was going to happen as he wished.
On the other hand, Tianlong Yun was extremely happy with what was going on, because if Patriarch Muto wasn't even able to be at this level, then it was going to be boring and too easy to deal with him.
As he was thinking like that, Patriarch Muto finally took the chance to say,
"I am extremely ashamed right now young friend, you have given me such a good gift to commemorate our deal, but I have nothing on me right now!"
'This damn foxy cheapskate!'
That was what Tianlong Yun thought but he clearly didn't voice that thought, as he said with a natural tone,
"Patriarch Muto must surely be joking. How could you have known that we will reach such a deal! So, it's perfectly fine if you take your time, or don't even give me a gift!"
He intentionally made a small pause in order to give Patriarch Muto time to process his words, and think of insisting for a moment, and right before Patriarch Muto could say anything he continued,
"But, if you truly insist on giving a gift to me, then I can only be shameless enough to accept my big love for ladies, and the fact that I liked this beauty the first time I landed my eyes on her!"
He was clearly speaking for the young lady in his lap, all this while she hadn't said or done anything as she understood that it wasn't the place nor time for her to do so.
In fact, until now she had acted like she was totally inexistent then and there, so imagine her shock when she heard Tianlong Yun's words.
Even Patriarch Muto couldn't help but get shocked at those words, but he felt that Tianlong Yun was trying to force his hand in the future by using his blood daughter.
To think that the young man in front of him was so naïve!
Thinking like that, he pretended to have been touched on his heart, as he said,
"Young friend certainly knows how to spot diamonds and jewels! That girl is my favorite daughter, and also the hardest working of them all.
But since Young Friend has given me such a treasure then I am willing to give you a treasure of mine as well, from this moment on she will belong to you!"
Tianlong Yun had expected this. As a matter of fact, he had also expected the fact that the man would play like he was losing one of his arms, only to give it away like he was getting a haircut.
Even the young lady herself didn't seem to be shocked at her father's actions, and thoughts. Most probably they would contact her again later and try to even make her a spy for her Clan.
This was neither the first nor the last time that something like this happened. The only surprising thing was why had Tianlong Yun selected her.
He could certainly have asked for one of her legitimate sisters, then even his grasp on Patriarch Muto and the Muto Clan would have been considerably bigger.
She couldn't help but look at him with clear puzzlement, and curiosity but there was nothing she could make out of his face.
Tianlong Yun didn't seem to care much about her gaze, and stare as he just raised his tea towards the Patriarch and said,
"Let me raise this toast for you Patriarch Muto, and the good cooperation between the two of us from now on!
Let us enjoy a prosperous, and good time together!"
With that, he drank the tea with one gulp, and then in a happy mood he stood up, while maintaining the young lady in his arms, and then said,
"Well, since it will be troublesome if unwanted eyes fell upon us, then I better get going, Patriarch Muto!
Let me be clear though, the Okamura family is done for! You can make your preparations as you see fit!"
With that said, Tianlong Yun just took a last look at the old man before disappearing under the gazes of everyone around him, with the young lady in his arms.
Patriarch Muto and all his guards were shocked at something like that because in one moment they felt his presence and the other not.
It was like he had disappeared in an instant, and he didn't seem like he had run extremely fast either.
That was something truly shocking for them, Tianlong Yun had appeared and disappeared in front of their eyes just like a wisp of smoke.
Not long after Tianlong Yun was gone, one of the guards appeared beside Patriarch Muto, and asked in a solemn and reverent voice,
"Patriarch, please forgive me for my rudeness but are you sure this was a good choice?"
"Yes, I am extremely sure! The treasure I received is enough and more than necessary for me to be certain of it!"
With that, he made an eye sign in the opposite direction of him, and immediately two shadows appeared and restrained the one that had asked the question.
"It is truly a pity that things had to end like this Clone 5 but you shouldn't have sold yourself to those fogies!
Don't get it wrong, your end was still going to be the same! The only thing changing would be the time!"
At that moment the poor guard's eyes widened in disbelief until their reached the size of a big chicken egg, but he wasn't able to do or say anything, as two knives had already pierced his body.
"To think that I would get my hands on something like this! The world is surely going to change! I should be extremely grateful to that brat! Hhahaha~!"
No one would be able to understand just how important was the small book on his hands at this moment. Perhaps if someone else did, another World War would have started right then and there.
The value of that book was just that great!
