Chapter 147: Don't Go

On the way to headquarters, Jiang Cheng was in a good mood.

One mission earned him three hundred thousand cash.

He also received a heavy sniper rifle worth two hundred thousand.

Next, naturally, he would quickly turn the money he had into his own strength, then continue to cause trouble for those of the Wild Wolf Gang, like that Gao surnamed person and the people behind him.

No matter how many gang members outside were killed, as long as these people remained, it wasn't of much use.

Or perhaps go out with a gun to hunt exotic beasts?

The secret medicine is so expensive; the price of exotic beast materials is probably not cheap either.

"Cang Hai, the mission is complete; I also have something to tell you."

Ye Ying in the back seat suddenly spoke.

"Mm, go ahead."

"Are you planning to go find trouble with Gao Songbai later?"

"I have that idea."

"Don't go."

Ye Ying's tone turned serious.

"I understand."

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly, "I know that with my current strength, dealing with them is still somewhat difficult; I'll act only when I'm stronger and confident."

"Even if you're confident, it's still not allowed."

"Why?"

Jiang Cheng realized that this matter wasn't as simple as he thought.

"Actually, I shouldn't be telling you this; when you return to headquarters, Bing Li will naturally explain these things, but for now there's nothing else, so I'm telling you to give you a mental preparation."

Ye Ying's gaze turned to the window outside.

"Although the Dawn Society's founding principle is to follow heaven's will and eradicate evil, this doesn't mean we members can act arbitrarily; we may only act when we receive a mission from above."

Jiang Cheng frowned.

"But I heard Bing Li say that aside from special missions, each person only needs to complete one mission per month?"

"That's right; my and Hong Cha's identities are special—we mainly recruit new members for the society. Like you, we usually receive only one mission per month, sometimes we get a special mission, which is a special circumstance,

Besides these two situations, no one may act on their own; for example, you cannot go cause trouble for that Gao surnamed person, or go outside the city to provoke the Iron Fist Gang."

"How can that be?"

Jiang Cheng suddenly recalled Bai Wei's reminder to him.

"There's no why; this is the rule. I hope you don't violate it—once broken, the consequences are severe, even affecting your family."

"If you insist on doing it, then don't tell anyone."

"Just forget that I said that."

Ye Ying whispered a sentence.

"I understand, thank you."

Jiang Cheng knew that Ye Ying's last words were a special care for him.

"It's nothing."

After Ye Ying finished speaking, she fell completely silent.

Yet Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly felt enlightened.

The problems he couldn't figure out before were now resolved.

For example, with the Dawn Society's strength, handling an Iron Fist Gang is a matter of minutes, let alone the Wild Wolf Gang.

Yet the Wild Wolf Gang had collected protection fees for two or three years before being driven out—still driven out by the fellow gang, the Iron Fist Gang.

Now, hearing what Ye Ying said, he understood.

Perhaps it's not that Dawn Society members aren't envious of the gangs' profits, but that the society's rules are in place here.

Who to kill, when to kill—everything is uniformly arranged by the upper echelons.

Perhaps those killed are indeed utterly wicked, but it's more like disposing of a pawn.

Just like Yue Shan—when he was in power, most of his wealth went to those above; after losing power, he didn't die a good death, was killed by himself, and the remaining wealth was also split between himself and Ye Ying.

And where did that money ultimately end up?

The Dawn Society.

A chill rose from his feet. Jiang Cheng could almost conclude that if the Iron Fist Gang were driven away, its leader would not go elsewhere but, like Yue Shan, come to the Outer City District, and the outcome would likely be the same.

But if there were no Dawn Society, these people might still live happier than most.

"Don't overthink it."

Ye Ying seemed to guess what Jiang Cheng was thinking, "Just live well, that's enough."

"Mm."

Jiang Cheng responded with a sound.

The waters here might be deep.

But from the present perspective, the Dawn Society hasn't done anything wrong toward him.

It provided housing for his family, gave him a lucrative task, and the society has various items that can be exchanged.

Those killed were indeed evildoers.

Nothing to fault.

Just.

A glint flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

Besides, I can't be too honest either; I must hide some of my strength—for example, if I were to become a Spiritual Thought Master, it's best to keep it secret.

In the future, the secret martial arts and weapons used by Spiritual Thought Masters also cannot be bought directly in the association; fortunately, I still have a Black Market bid token on me.

If one day I were actually sold out, I wouldn't be completely helpless, just waiting to die.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the headquarters.

Even at night, there were people on duty in the mission hall.

Submit the mission.

Soon, professional staff arrived to inspect and count the authenticity of the banknotes, gold, and jewelry, including those few rifles.

After a quarter of an hour, Jiang Cheng received the notice of mission completion; the mission bonus exactly offset his previous loan.

Fortunately, the next moment, a transfer of 310,000 arrived in his card.

One can directly purchase items within the permission, click confirm to auto-deduct, or withdraw cash.

"Just like that."

Ye Ying also received the transfer notification.

"If there's a chance later, let's cooperate again."

"Okay."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

Seeing the other party off, he quickly walked up to a machine, placed his card, clicked a few times, and found the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

Primary Spirit Nourishing Pill, 1,000 each.

Jiang Cheng directly bought 200 of them.

Seeing the 200,000 displayed in the lower-right corner, Jiang Cheng naturally felt the pinch.

He had just gotten 300,000 in hand, not even warmed up yet, and in a blink he'd have to spend two-thirds of it—anyone would feel the ache.

But with these two hundred Primary Spirit Nourishing Pills, the Visualization Method that originally took a year and a half to get into could be mastered in two or three days, or even one or two! As long as Spiritual Power increases, everything becomes easy to discuss.

"Buy!"

Jiang Cheng clicked the confirm button, underwent facial and fingerprint verification.

The account balance instantly became 100,000.

As for the remaining 100,000, Jiang Cheng hadn't yet decided what to buy.

He would probably buy one Iron Wall Talisman, after all, it can save his life at a critical moment.

The rest might be spent on better Secret Medicines.

Actually, he also wanted to buy the Qingmu Technique, which happens to cost 100,000.

But he wasn't in a rush to decide; he'd finish using the two hundred Spirit Nourishing Pills first.

Jiang Cheng really wanted to see, if he entered the Visualization Method, how much his Spiritual Power would increase.

After all, according to Ye Ying's saying, countless people are blocked outside this threshold.
