"So that's how it is... You want to buy information? Don't worry about buying and selling information, our Heaven and Earth Tower is absolutely professional. If it's not accurate, you don't pay!"

"But business is business... Hehe, General Jiang... You know the rules of our Heaven and Earth Tower, right? Even City Lord Wu has to..."

"Chief Manager Gu, don't worry, I understand the rules!"

Hearing this, Gu Santong's smile became even brighter. In his opinion, this was a big customer.

"Since General Jiang understands the rules, please speak directly. What information do you want to purchase?"

"Chief Manager Gu, I want to find two people!"

"One is a middle-aged man, and the other is a boy around sixteen or seventeen..."

Jiang Bieli described the appearances of Ding Bosheng and Li Yun, and also spoke about what happened outside Myriad Green Mountain.

Gu Santong nodded.

"Okay, that's fine. Please wait a moment, General Jiang. I'll be back shortly."

Gu Santong opened the door and left the quiet room.

About ten minutes later.

He returned to the quiet room with a scroll.

Seeing this, Jiang Bieli couldn't help but be surprised: "Chief Manager Gu, you already have the information? That fast?"

Gu Santong shook the scroll in his hand.

He said somewhat proudly, "Hehe, General Jiang, you haven't dealt with our Heaven and Earth Tower much. I just said that our Heaven and Earth Tower is professional in buying and selling information."

"Whether it's finding people, finding things... or inquiring about ancient secrets!"

"As long as you can afford the price, there is no information our Heaven and Earth Tower cannot provide, and it is guaranteed to be accurate!"

Hearing this, Jiang Bieli couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Whether it's finding people, finding things, or ancient secrets?

If you can afford the price, they can provide the information, and they even dare to guarantee accuracy, and if it's not accurate, you don't pay?

Is this Heaven and Earth Tower really that amazing?

If it can really be as accurate as Gu Santong said, then what secrets are there in this world?

Heaven and Earth Tower so unscrupulously buys and sells information, aren't they afraid of being dismantled?

Just thinking about it makes it terrifying.

The more he thought about it, the more horrifying it became.

He didn't dare to think any further and quickly asked, "Then, Chief Manager Gu, the people I'm looking for...?"

Gu Santong shook the scroll in his hand.

He said unhurriedly, "General Jiang, don't worry. You haven't dealt with our Heaven and Earth Tower much, almost not at all, so you might not be too clear about our specific fee standards."

"Generally speaking, our Heaven and Earth Tower classifies information based on the value and influence of the specific information."

"Simply put, there are four grades: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, and each grade is further divided into nine levels."

"The level is different, and the fee is naturally different."

"According to your request, I have obtained the specific information about the two people you are looking for, including their current location. I can tell you clearly that the level of this information in our Heaven and Earth Tower can reach Earth Grade, and it is the highest level of Earth Grade, level one!"

"So the fee is high."

"Before I came, I specifically asked our Tower Lord. This information is priced at ten top-grade Earth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, but because City Lord Wu wants to purchase it, we can give City Lord Wu a favor and offer a ten percent discount, which is nine top-grade Earth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure!"

"Now, let's confirm again, General Jiang, are you sure you want to purchase this information?"

Jiang Bieli's face immediately turned black.

What kind of information is this?

It's just finding two people, and they're asking for nine top-grade Earth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?

And this is the price after a ten percent discount out of consideration for Wu Qiuse?

This is simply robbery!

He seriously suspected that this Gu Santong was treating him as a fool.

It was possible that Gu Santong had already guessed that he couldn't explain to Wu Qiuse without finding those two people, so he deliberately made up this whole story to raise the value of this information and extort him.

What kind of Heaven and Earth Tower is this? It's simply a den of thieves!

Truly.

If it weren't for the mysterious background and powerful forces behind the Heaven and Earth Tower, he would definitely have fallen out with Gu Santong for treating him as a fool.

He would have beaten Gu Santong to death, or at least half crippled him.

However.

Gu Santong seemed to know what he was thinking.

He actually chuckled again.

"General Jiang, do you think this price is too expensive?"

Jiang Bieli was slightly startled. He really wanted to say, do you even know the price is expensive?

If you know the price is too expensive, what are you talking about here?

But he didn't dare to say that out loud.

Instead, he said politely, "Chief Manager Gu, look... our City Lord values this information very much. Can we discuss it and give us another discount...?"

Gu Santong shook his head.

"General Jiang, please don't make things difficult for me."

"To be honest, the level of this information was personally set by our Tower Lord. Do you know what Earth Grade level one information means?"

Jiang Bieli shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

In reality, he was sneering in his heart. He didn't care about the so-called grades at all.

In his opinion, the so-called grades were just set by the Heaven and Earth Tower themselves. The information was in the hands of the Heaven and Earth Tower, so couldn't they set the price however they wanted?

No matter how much they said, it was all just to extort money.

Nothing else.

Gu Santong chuckled, "It seems you really don't understand... To be honest, under normal circumstances, the highest level of information that a branch like ours can set is Earth Grade."

"We don't have the authority to set the grade and price for Heaven Grade information. The highest we can go is Earth Grade."

"And the authority to set the grade and price for Earth Grade information is only in the hands of our Tower Lord."

"But once the Tower Lord determines that certain information can reach Earth Grade, they must report it to the head office, and then the head office decides whether the information can be sold externally."

"The whole process is quite troublesome... It's definitely not something our Tower Lord can decide alone."

"In addition, to be honest, just now our Tower Lord was still hesitating whether setting this information as Earth Grade level one was accurate... He said that if this information is reported back to the head office in time, it is possible that it will be reclassified as Heaven Grade!"

"Hehe... If it reaches Heaven Grade, then the price won't be nine top-grade Earth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. You might not be able to buy it even with Heaven Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure!"

"It might even be a non-sale item!"

"Such information is only being sold out of consideration for City Lord Wu. Even if City Lord Wu buys it, an additional agreement must be added that this information cannot be disclosed to a third party without the consent of the Heaven and Earth Tower."

"Otherwise, if it causes the Heaven and Earth Tower head office to be enraged and pursue accountability, even City Lord Wu might not be able to bear the consequences!"

Jiang Bieli's face instantly changed drastically.

He didn't expect things to be so serious.

Moreover, Gu Santong spoke logically and purposefully... It didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to deceive him.

This made him realize the seriousness of the matter.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and decided to buy it!
