Gaode was startled, realizing that he was still not cautious enough and far too impulsive.
Not long ago, he had purchased a Tapping Technique Magic Scroll from Pierre to suppress the Secret Technique Lock, and now he was putting on the airs of the New Rich. Anyone with half a brain could connect the dots and figure out what this meant.
Fortunately, Pierre was not someone with malicious intent. Besides, Pierre had probably guessed a few things when Gaode asked him for the solution to the Secret Technique Lock. Still, the realization gave Gaode a scare, and he made a mental note to himself. He could never afford to get so carried away again.
"It's just so-so," Gaode laughed it off, brushing past the topic. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll look forward to your good news."
After agreeing on a specific time with Pierre, Gaode said his goodbyes and left.
