"How about it? Do you like it?" The Indian boss timely asked upon seeing the look of fondness on Luo Chao's face. People like them, who've been in business for a long time, have mastered the art of reading expressions and gestures. From Luo Chao's expression, he could already tell that Luo Chao liked this set of tools very much. He asked just to hear Luo Chao voice it.

"It's nice. If I were to buy this set of tools, how much would it cost?" Liking it is one thing, but the price is another. If it's too expensive, I simply can't afford it.

"I'm giving this set of tools to you for free, little brother!" Upon hearing Luo Chao ask about the price, the Indian boss casually said something that shocked Luo Chao.

The Indian boss is a businessman, and making profit is their goal. But now he's taking out something he has cherished and still doesn't want money for it. That means not only does he not make money, but he actually loses money. Luo Chao found it incredulous for a moment, but he soon calmed down, looked at the Indian boss, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want in return?"

"You really are a smart person, dealing with you is effortless!" The Indian boss was surprised by Luo Chao's composure and said to him.

"We're strangers to each other. You give me this benefit for no reason, so there must be other conditions, right?" Luo Chao calmed down completely. There's no free lunch in this world. If the Indian man acts like this, there is only one explanation: he needs something from him.

"Since we're speaking openly, I won't beat around the bush. I want you to give me a promise!" The Indian man looked at Luo Chao, his emotions somewhat excited.

"A promise?" This sentence dumbfounded Luo Chao. He imagined many conditions the Indian boss might propose, but he couldn't understand what the Indian man was hinting at with a promise.

In his view, what use is a promise?

"Yes, just one promise!" Seeing Luo Chao's widened pupils and shocked expression, the Indian boss seriously reiterated.

"Wait a minute, let me calm myself!" Luo Chao tried to calm down, then carefully analyzed the Indian boss's words to see if there was anything amiss, but upon analyzing, couldn't see anything harmful to himself.

"Tell me, what kind of promise do you want from me? Only then can I decide whether to agree to it or not!" Although this surprise was delightful, Luo Chao was not so overwhelmed that he'd lose his sense.

"Brother, no need to be tense. The promise I require is simple. When you become successful, and visit India, help me save a person!" The Indian boss said, a bit of gloom in his expression.

"Save someone? Who? Will I be able to do it, and will it be dangerous?" Luo Chao fired off a series of questions.

"I mean after you've become successful help me? As for whom specifically you would save, I'll honestly tell you when you have the ability?" Although the Indian boss appeared impatient, he showed no sign of forcing Luo Chao.

"When I become successful? What exactly qualifies as successful? Also, if saving someone endangers my life or severely harms my interests, I can't simply risk my life for it, right? This promise I may not be able to give!"

Suddenly, a lot occurred to Luo Chao: if later on, saving this person puts him in a difficult situation, it wouldn't be worth it. Although society encourages helping others, such acts are usually within the bounds of not harming one's own substantial interests. Acts of sacrificing oneself for principle, as Luo Chao would put it, are done only by those whose brains have been squeezed by a door.

"Brother, no need to rush to refuse me. Let me finish what I was saying. The promise I ask from you comes with conditions. I've mentioned the first one: wait until you've become successful. As for what counts as success, when I find you, that'll be when you're successful. Secondly, at that time, you can assess the situation, see if it harms you. If it does, you can completely refuse, and I won't hold any grudges. It means I just need you to keep this matter in mind instead of placing it in your heart. When I reach out to you, you can assess whether it's worth helping me. Perhaps by then, my situation will only require a few words from you to resolve." Seeing Luo Chao's response, the Indian boss quickly explained.

"Brother, there's no need to doubt anything. I said that I've studied your Huaxia's The Book of Changes. When it comes to face-reading, it's like what your Huaxia people say–I'm quite skilled. I'm bringing this up with you because I have faith in your future. My name is Kunaler; all I need is that in the future, when I call upon you, you remember today's conversation. As for whether you'll go save someone thereafter, that's for you to consider later!"

Upon Kunaler saying so, Luo Chao understood.

This is no different from giving him this set of tools for free; the promise essentially doesn't count as one. To Luo Chao, it was no burden.

It means Luo Chao could simply ignore this so-called promise. If, later on, Kunaler truly finds him, he could completely use harm to his interests as an excuse not to do it.

"Boss, I think I should still pay you. Later on, if it happens as you said, when I become successful and you find me, as long as it's within my ability, I'll try my best to help you!" Luo Chao, being a sentimental person, was naturally moved by Kunaler's earnestness at this moment. A wave of heroism rose in his heart as he said to Kunaler.

"Brother, you're belittling me. This gold-panning tool is something I've cherished; it is not for sale. Today, upon meeting you, I felt a connection, hence decided to bring it out. If you're speaking like this, then I must have misjudged you. You can leave immediately; it's as if I've mistaken you!" Upon hearing such words from Luo Chao, Kunaler was immediately displeased.

"Alright, Kunaler, I'll accept this tool. I've never received such favor from anyone in my life other than my grandfather and sister. If in the future you come looking for me, as long as it's within my ability, I'll do whatever it takes! Kunaler, remember, my name is Luo Chao, also known as The Book of Changes you've studied. If someday you seek me out and it indeed turns out to be what you said, you will surely know where I am. If someday even I am nowhere to be found, it would mean I lack the ability to help you!" After saying that, Luo Chao embraced the dark red set of gold-panning tools and strode out of the shop.

"Haha, the fortunes will change, the fortunes will change..." Hearing Luo Chao's words, Kunaler continually repeated Luo Chao and The Book of Changes for a long time until he started shouting and laughing madly. People on the street gathered to watch, but Kunaler didn't care about them, continuing to shout and laugh to himself.
