activa-t Chapter 26 Sudden Wealth
Chapter 26 Sudden Wealth
As for the two henchmen, they were completely terrified.
The next moment, the two of them... thud...
"Sir, spare us! Spare us! We've never done anything immoral!"
dong dong dong....
The two kept kowtowing. Run?
This word seems to have never appeared in my mind before.
Li Yuan sat down in the spot where the triangular-eyed man had been sitting, his cold eyes fixed on the man kneeling on one knee, his face pale, his right hand clutching his severed arm.
He stared at Li Yuan in horror, his mind racing. The unfamiliar face... 'The one who killed Tie Niu? An enemy of the Wild Wolf Gang?'
"Shut up!"
Li Yuan spoke calmly, and the two people beside him immediately shut up, even their breathing became faint.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, which must have cost at least several taels of silver, "This is truly extravagant."
"Get me a clean pair of chopsticks."
Such delicious food, it would be a shame not to eat it.
"M-Sir...please." The kneeling man immediately handed over a pair of clean chopsticks with both hands.
Li Yuan took the chopsticks, and the man immediately knelt down again.
But the next moment, two flashes of light appeared.
thump....
The two then fell to the ground, while the person who had handed them the chopsticks lay on the ground with a fawning smile.
Looking at Li Yuan, he was leisurely eating. He had just killed two people, but he acted as if nothing had happened.
"How ruthless!"
The triangular-eyed man watching this scene felt a chill run down his spine.
Li Yuan was used to killing people, especially the members of the Wild Wolf Gang. He killed them all without a single one being innocent; they all deserved to die.
He didn't want to be a saint, nor did he have that kind of thought; he just killed him on a whim.
"belch--"
After finishing the last glass of wine, Li Yuan let out a big burp, casually tossed aside his chopsticks, and then turned to look at the person in charge.
With just a turn of his head, the man with the triangular eyes trembled.
Li Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "Master Jiao, is that right?"
"No... I wouldn't dare."
He forced a smile despite the excruciating pain.
Lord Jiao?
His life is in Li Yuan's hands, how dare he call himself "Master"?
"I have a few questions for you."
"Please speak, sir. I would never dare to conceal anything."
Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction. He had done a good job; at least he hadn't said anything like, "I'll tell you if you won't kill me."
How much do you know about martial arts?
"Martial arts?"
The man with the triangular eyes was clearly taken aback. He had thought Li Yuan would ask about the Wild Wolf Gang or about money, but he hadn't expected it to be about martial arts.
But he couldn't care less about that now. "Reporting to you, sir, I am only a ninth-rank martial artist and know very little."
"To be honest, it's not just me who knows about martial arts. The other ninth-rank members in the gang know about the same thing... I guess the gang leader, Hai Fu, knows more about it."
"He's an eighth-rank official!"
"Only one step away from the seventh rank!"
Haifu!
This was the first time Li Yuan had heard the name of the Wild Wolf Gang leader.
"So, what's the strongest force in the outer city right now?"
This is very important.
Of the hundred neighborhoods outside the city, his knowledge was limited to Willow Neighborhood and Little Ink Neighborhood...
"The strongest is Xiaolingfang, where the guardian is a seventh-rank official, the strongest person in the outer city."
"Moreover, Xiaolingfang is owned by several families in the inner city."
"As for these gangs, none of them should be above the eighth rank."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan gained a general understanding of the overall strength of the outer city.
"In other words, with my current strength, I could easily start a gang, as long as I don't mess with Little Spirit Workshop."
"hehe."
He smiled inwardly. It was just a thought; he had no interest in it. His current identity was better—a lowly doctor, much safer.
"Also, why did the Wild Wolf Gang suddenly triple their usual fees?"
"It was Haifu's order."
The man with the triangular eyes replied, "Although he didn't say why, I guess the county soldiers outside are about to collapse, and he wants to plunder them so he can either enter the inner city or escape!"
Having been in the Wild Wolf Gang for so many years, and having his own sources of information, it's not difficult for him to make this judgment.
Li Yuan's heart sank immediately!
Are the county soldiers about to collapse? Then what about his father...?
"One last question: tell me the homes of all the ninth-rank martial artists in the Wild Wolf Gang!"
"Yes... the Wild Wolf Gang had eight ninth-rank members in total. One, Iron Bull, and Fatty died. Including me, the other five are..."
The man with the triangular eyes revealed everyone's location.
He didn't know if he would survive, but he didn't expect anyone else to have an easy time either.
"You did a great job!"
Li Yuan stood up, a faint smile on his face.
The man with the triangular eyes seemed to know his death was imminent. He took a deep breath and said, "I've told you everything you wanted to know. Just give me a quick death!"
Did they say anything about letting him go?
impossible!
He killed two people in an instant without changing his expression, and could even calmly eat the food on the table. How could such a ruthless person let him go?
"OK!"
He can meet that request.
...
The man with the triangular eyes died without any pain. After searching the place, Li Yuan left.
Tonight!
Li Yuansuan went on a killing spree.
The remaining five ninth-rank martial artists from the Wild Wolf Gang visited one by one.
Each person killed was interrogated, but as the triangular-eyed man said, they knew very little about martial arts.
It was already past midnight when I got home.
Wang Xiulan waited for him as usual.
"Are you alright?"
"Everything went smoothly. We've brought back all the medicinal herbs, and no one will be after us now."
"That's good...."
Wang Xiulan finally felt relieved.
"Mother, go to sleep. I'll go put the medicinal herbs in the cellar."
"Okay! Mom will go get you something to eat."
"No need, I've already eaten, I'm not hungry!"
Wang Xiulan looked puzzled. Had she already eaten?
But Li Yuan simply pushed her shoulder without explaining, "Go to sleep, it's so late."
He even closed the door for her in the end.
"hehe!"
...
After putting away the medicinal herbs, Li Yuan returned to his room and tallied up his day's harvest.
"The silver... a little over two hundred taels in total..."
"So many..."
Li Yuan was also shocked. With this sum of money, his family would not be short of money for a while.
"The business of finished drugs can be put on hold for now."
He made a decision immediately.
He used to sell medicine to make money, but now that he's not short of money, there's no need for it anymore.
Moreover, if we kill all the ninth-rank members of the Wild Wolf Gang tonight, not only will Hai Fu go crazy, but other gangs will probably be scared too. It's better to stay safe for a while.
We'll talk about everything after we break through to the seventh rank.
However, you can still go to Xiaolingfang, but you'll need to change your identity.
Besides money, there are also martial arts techniques, but they are all average, similar to Tie Niu's "Iron Stake Kung Fu". As for martial arts skills, they are mainly based on knife techniques.
The only thing that caught his attention was a hidden weapon technique called "Leaf-Picking Hand"!
"Murder and robbery are indeed the broad road to wealth!"
Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
He used to only have one cultivation technique and no martial arts skills. Now, he has so many that he doesn't even have time to practice them.
"hehe!"
He smiled slightly, but then the smile faded, his eyes narrowed, and his next target was Haifu!
I wonder how much he knows about martial arts?
"But... we have to wait until we reach the seventh rank!"
Be careful!
