Chapter 213: Dead!

"Oh?"

Jiang Cheng, upon hearing that, not only didn't get angry, but smiled even brighter.

He was about to inquire about the other party's background.

"Then go ahead and tell me, who are you?"

"Do you know Kuangfeng Martial Arts School?"

"Kuangfeng Martial Arts School, huh, I've heard of it."

Jiang Cheng was slightly startled, then said, "I heard that the Gym Master of Kuangfeng Martial Arts School is an Eight-level Force Warrior, and in this Outer City District, he's also a number-one figure."

"It's fine as long as you know."

Liu Yun said proudly, "My husband is the second disciple of Gym Master Xie, a Level Three Force Warrior; if you dare lay a hand on me, you definitely won't get away with it."

"So, you swindled people with loans, signed Yin-Yang Contracts, and in the end, handed all the money you earned over to Kuangfeng Martial Arts School?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Liu Yun's expression changed, and she immediately denied, "What swindling loans, Yin-Yang Contracts? We conduct legitimate business and never use any tricks."

After all, everyone knows some things, but speaking them out is not allowed.

Especially now that Ding Shi's reputation has already become rotten.

If the people around learn that Kuangfeng Martial Arts School is the backing power, the school's business would be affected to some degree.

"Is that so? On my way here, I met a man whose leg had been broken, lying by the roadside. He said he borrowed 200,000 from you, but you made him sign a contract for 800,000, and even coaxed him by saying the extra amount wouldn't count, that he only needed to repay 200,000 later. When the repayment day came, you calculated based on 800,000, forcing him into a dead end. That was your doing, right?"

"Pure nonsense!"

Liu Yun crossed her arms, a cold sneer on her face, "The black-and-white paper says he borrowed 800,000. To dodge payment, he can even come up with such a clumsy excuse. What, you came to champion his cause? I advise you not to meddle, lest you drag yourself into it as well."

"You really are arrogant."

Jiang Cheng said word for word.

He had already heard the voices inside before he entered.

The reason he didn't act was that he wanted to listen and find out who these people's backers really were, and whether the information provided by the Dawn Society matched.

The facts proved that this Dawn Society mission was indeed a legitimate one, with no traps.

Since that's the case, he would be unreserved.

"Bang bang bang bang bang."

A series of gunshots rang out.

Several people crouched in the corner were shot in the head, and blood blossomed on the wall, shocking to the eye.

"Ah!!!"

A woman clutched her head and let out a hysterical scream.

"Shut up."

Jiang Cheng's voice was low and powerful.

"If you dare shout again, I'll blast you with a single shot."

The woman fell silent instantly, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't kill me, please, I beg you, don't kill me, I have money, I have money."

Her pitiful demeanor was a world apart from before.

"How much money do you have?"

"Five... five hundred thousand."

"Five hundred thousand?"

Jiang Cheng's voice turned cold, "You swindled so many people, and only have five hundred thousand?"

"No, that's not it."

Liu Yun defended, "All that money was taken by the Gym Master; the backing power behind our company is Gym Master Xie, otherwise we couldn't have continued operating here."

"Where is the money?"

"It's in the safe at the back."

"Take me there."

"If I give you the money, can you not kill me?"

Liu Yun looked at Jiang Cheng pleadingly, "Don't test my patience; I have a hundred ways to make you obediently hand over the money." Jiang Cheng sneered.

"I... I understand."

Liu Yun shivered.

She knew that after she took out the money, this man before her might still not let her go.

But she was even more certain.

She didn't have such a strong will to endure the torment.

The two walked into the back room and came before a safe.

With the gun barrel aimed at her, Liu Yun obediently opened the safe, and stacks of thousand-yuan bills appeared before her.

Even though he'd seen it many times, Jiang Cheng's breathing couldn't help but become rapid.

Five bundles, each containing one hundred notes.

No more, no less, exactly five hundred thousand.

Moreover, unlike the previous money, these can be used within the Dawn Society; even if he shifted a portion of his family's 1,500,000 into it, Bing Li wouldn't suspect.

Regrettably, his current clearance is insufficient, limiting the items he can purchase.

To buy higher-grade items, he must reach Level Three, but just over half a month ago he had only just broken through to Second Level.

"Using it to buy Spirit Nourishing Pills and speed up cultivation is also good."

Jiang Cheng had this thought pop into his mind.

Without Spirit Nourishing Pills to replenish Spiritual Power, he needs fifteen days to fully cultivate the Broken Jade Technique.

But with five hundred thousand, he can buy fifty bottles; using fifteen Primary Spirit Nourishing Pills per Spiritual Power calculation, five hundred pills can replenish Spiritual Power thirty‑three times, equivalent to an extra absorption of 330,000 Force Light Points.

What does that mean? At the current efficiency, refining 43,000 Force Light Points per day requires about fifteen days; to break through to Level Five, the required Force Light Points to refine are roughly 650,000.

But with that five hundred thousand, the time is cut in half! As for the refining time, it isn't a big issue, because after the Broken Jade Technique reaches Great Completion, the refinement rate reaches 64 Force Light Points per minute.

The total 650,000 Force Light Points needed can be fully refined in seven days without eating or drinking.

Of course, factoring in eating, drinking and bathroom breaks, eleven or twelve days is also acceptable.

Later, cultivating other Secret Martial Arts will allow reaching Level Six or Seven even faster.

The next moment, Jiang Cheng placed the five bundles of cash from the safe into his pockets.

At that instant, Liu Yun suddenly bolted toward the outside.

Bang!

A gunshot rang.

The latter was hit in the leg by the bullet and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Don't kill me, I won't dare any more, I promise I won't ever dare again."

Liu Yun clutched his leg, tears streaming from the pain.

Jiang Cheng wasn't angry; he just found it amusing.

An ordinary person actually dared to challenge a Level 4 Original Force Warrior's reaction speed.

"How do you usually hand over the money?"

"I—I drive it over, deliver it to the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School."

Liu Yun said through the pain.

Jiang Cheng slightly furrowed his brows.

That makes things a bit tricky.

With his ability, going to the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School is tantamount to a death sentence.

But this mission's objective is to kill the Force Warrior inside the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School.

According to Bing Li's statement, each person gets only one chance to fail a mission, and any loot obtained during that failed attempt must be handed over.

Moreover, we can't stay here much longer; that woman just shouted so loudly, and there are several corpses outside that even a blind person could see, perhaps someone has already called the police.

"Perhaps that can be used to our advantage."

A flash of white light flickered in Jiang Cheng's mind, and then he shot the woman on the ground dead with a single bullet.
