Chapter 47

Volume 1_Chapter 47: Quick! Butcher her for this Heir

As the voice fell, a man dressed in magnificent robes walked in through the door.

The man's features were handsome, but there was a hint of sinister cruelty between his features, which took several points off his appearance.

And the look he gave Yun Qiyue was as if he were looking at a prey that had already fallen into his hands, revealing a trace of ruthlessness and deep disgust.

Needless to say, this person was the Heir Ming'an the manager spoke of.

Yun Qiyue was not surprised that Yu Ming'an would appear here.

The news that she wasn't dead had already spread; if Yu Ming'an didn't come, she would have thought Yu Ming'an was so wealthy and arrogant that he didn't care about that silver.

As for Yu Ming'an's gaze, heh, having been baptized by the Regent and that man in the Forbidden Land, what kind of onion was this Yu Ming'an?

Yun Qiyue was not only completely unafraid but also asked with a hint of laziness, "Does the Heir mean to welch on the debt?"

Yu Ming'an curled his lips evilly, "Not only does this Heir want to welch on the debt, but today I also want your life."

So what if he welched on the debt?

Once she was dead, who would know he had welched on it?

After speaking, Yu Ming'an clapped his hands.

Instantly, a group of tall and strong thugs swarmed out from all around the gambling house, surrounding Yun Qiyue and her servant.

Yu Ming'an looked at Yun Qiyue and sneered, "Yun Qiyue, you can only blame yourself for being too greedy, daring to earn even this Heir's money, and for being an eyesore to me, and an eyesore to others as well."

Having said that, without waiting for Yun Qiyue to say anything more, he gave an order and had people act directly.

Yun Qiyue didn't even have time to think about who the "others" in the so-called "eyesore to others" were; she just told Qingyan to look after Sixue well, and before the thugs could react, she rushed forward at lightning speed.

Target: Yu Ming'an.

She had invoked the Regent earlier, not entirely to play the fox assuming the tiger's might to save trouble, but more importantly to make the other party underestimate the enemy, thinking that the assassins from last night were finished off with the help of the Regent's men.

Sure enough, although the gambling house sent out many thugs, they ultimately underestimated the enemy and didn't take a few women seriously.

Plus, Yun Qiyue's speed, after eating the Body Tempering Pill, was truly too fast, so before anyone could react, Yun Qiyue had already rushed in front of Yu Ming'an.

Yu Ming'an was shocked and was about to counterattack, but his speed was ultimately not faster than Yun Qiyue's; by the time he was about to move, there was already a cold sensation against his neck.

"If you don't want anything to happen to your Heir, then all of you stop," Yun Qiyue said coldly, her voice no longer as lazy and indifferent as before, but rather quite imposing and very intimidating.

As the saying goes, to capture the bandits, first capture the king; seeing Yu Ming'an captured by Yun Qiyue with a dagger pressed against his neck, everyone stopped their actions, all looking at Yun Qiyue with vigilance, nervous and angry.

At the same time, they felt incredibly embarrassed that a group of grown men had let a young woman hold their Heir hostage.

Seeing that the group of thugs had become obedient, Yun Qiyue then looked at Yu Ming'an, whom she was holding hostage, and asked with a curl of her lips, "Now, does the Heir still want to welch on the debt?"

The narrowed eyes, the curled lips, the punchable tone—even if Yu Ming'an couldn't see Yun Qiyue's appearance right now, hearing that tone made his teeth ache with anger.

"You dare to lay a hand on this Heir?" Yu Ming'an suppressed his anger, gritting his teeth.

He bet that Yun Qiyue wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him; after all, he...

Before he could finish his thought, Yu Ming'an felt a sharp pain in his neck, and a patch of wetness flowed into his collar.

"You actually dared!" Yu Ming'an was furious, the veins on his forehead bulging.

In the capital, who dared to be so presumptuous and rude to him?

Yun Qiyue: "If you keep talking nonsense, it won't just be a little blood flowing."

The cold tone made Yu Ming'an feel a chill in his heart; having never suffered a setback, a deep sense of fear rose in his heart for the first time.

Despite this, Yu Ming'an was still unwilling to compromise just like that.

"Aren't you afraid that if you kill me, you won't be able to walk out either?"

Yun Qiyue was indifferent, "Whether I can walk out or not is not something you need to worry about; even if I can't walk out, having Heir Ming'an buried with me wouldn't be a loss."

Yu Ming'an: "..." Growing up, he had never felt as aggrieved as he did at this moment.

He wanted to say something else, but the dagger at his neck tightened, and Yu Ming'an immediately dared not talk nonsense anymore, shouting angrily at the bewildered manager, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and bring the silver out?"

While speaking, Yu Ming'an and the manager exchanged a certain look; the manager understood and immediately took people to the back.

During this time, Yu Ming'an negotiated with Yun Qiyue: "I've already sent people to move the silver for you, can you let me go now?"

Yun Qiyue rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Yu Ming'an: "..." She was indeed a fool before...

The manager was gone for a long time, so long that Yu Ming'an was almost unable to stand.

After all, Yun Qiyue was shorter than Yu Ming'an, and she didn't care about the height difference at all, holding the dagger in her hand so casually yet unshakably, forcing Yu Ming'an to be compelled to tilt his body.

But if he really couldn't stand and fell onto that dagger, his life would be over.

Thus, Yu Ming'an could only keep his body stiff, hoping that the manager would come out quickly; at this moment, he even regretted his decision from just before.

Finally, under Yu Ming'an's utmost anticipation, the gambling house people brought out ten heavy chests.

Looking at those chests, Yun Qiyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

She didn't believe Yu Ming'an couldn't produce silver notes; wasting so much time to collect these ten large chests of silver, was this because he thought she couldn't move them and was deliberately trying to torment her?

The manager stepped forward, took out a stack of silver notes, and handed them to Yun Qiyue, "We don't have enough silver notes; there are fifty thousand taels here, and the other fifty thousand taels are in the chests."

Yu Ming'an watched as Yun Qiyue was about to be thwarted, a flash of triumph in his eyes.

Ten large chests, he wanted to see how Yun Qiyue would move them.

As long as Yun Qiyue didn't move them all back in one go, he had ways to make sure Yun Qiyue would never be able to touch this silver again.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of Yun Qiyue going to find a carriage either.

The moment Yun Qiyue let him go would be the moment of her death.

Going against him was destined to end badly!

A flash of sinister poison crossed Yu Ming'an's eyes.

It was a pity that Yun Qiyue, seeing the actual silver, showed not the slightest sign of being thwarted or troubled, but instead, while ordering Qingyan and Sixue to find a carriage, she ordered the gambling house people to count the silver on the spot.

It wouldn't do to just take their word that there were fifty thousand taels inside; what if they put stones in there?

But fortunately, because Yu Ming'an thought he would eventually get the silver back and didn't have the opportunity to tell the manager to fake it, the chests were filled with genuine silver.

Not long after, Qingyan and Sixue arrived with three carriages.

Yun Qiyue then had the gambling house people help move the ten large chests of silver onto the three carriages.

After this was finished, Yun Qiyue first let Qingyan and Sixue get into the carriage, while she herself took Yu Ming'an to the door.

While moving, Yun Qiyue was still holding the dagger just as casually, forcing Yu Ming'an to tilt his body and follow Yun Qiyue, making all those in the gambling house unable to help but break into a cold sweat, terrified that Yun Qiyue might have a slip of the hand.

And Yu Ming'an, who was walking sideways like a crab, was extremely aggrieved at this moment, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.

When they reached the door, Yun Qiyue finally showed mercy and let Yu Ming'an go.

As soon as Yu Ming'an gained his freedom, he immediately stayed far away from Yun Qiyue, and then ordered viciously, "Quick! Butcher her for this Heir!"
