Chapter 293: The Red Fruit's Discrimination

"You, what do you want to do?!"

The group of Bounty Hunters showed fearful faces as they looked at the Douli Qingnian blocking them, their previously rosy complexions instantly turning pallid.

The strongest among those present were at most comparable to Ba Lian Zhuanghan, and the vast majority were even weaker than Ba Lian Zhuanghan.

They knew their fate wouldn't be any better compared to Ba Lian Zhuanghan...

For a moment, fear and despair filled the entire Exchange House.

Lian Ye's eyes gleamed as he stared at the Bounty Hunters before him; in his eyes, they were all bright silver notes.

Having become Bounty Hunters, they're certainly rich enough to have oil flowing from them.

Although this time he didn't encounter the wealthy Jiaodu, robbing this group is still tolerable...

The previously mentioned skinny tall man wearing glasses could no longer bear Lian Ye's greedy gaze, and gritted his teeth, stepping forward to shout at the crowd.

"Everyone, don't be afraid; let's break through together!"

"Even if he's stronger, he can't kill us all; as long as we charge together, someone will manage to escape!"

The skinny tall man spoke the weakest, most cowardly words in the fiercest tone.

Lian Ye's mouth twitched at the words, feeling a bit helpless; he hadn't expected this fellow to find his flaw...

If the Bounty Hunters truly followed the skinny tall man's suggestion and all rushed out in a swarm, a few would indeed slip through the net.

These guys are numerous and powerful; alone, he truly finds it hard to keep them all.

When those words were spoken, several Bounty Hunters visibly stirred; the skinny tall man was right—no matter how strong the guy in front of them is, he can't kill them all!

As long as they launch a joint attack, even if they can't kill the Douli Qingnian before them, they can use the chaos to leave the Exchange House.

"Everyone, go all out, fight him!" The skinny tall man, seeing the crowd take his words, hurriedly urged everyone to attack.

Meanwhile, he himself silently slipped behind, a calculating glint flashing beneath the Mirror.

As long as these idiots launch the attack, the Douli Qingnian cannot kill everyone in a short time, and then he can slip away amid the chaos!

As his words fell, a few fearless ones roared and launched the attack, and then there was nothing afterwards.

The few who rushed out were no match for Lian Ye; some didn't even have time to form a seal before dying.

"All together! Why aren't you all charging together!" The skinny tall man, seeing this, instantly grew anxious.

If these idiots don't attack together, how can he escape amid the chaos!

"Why aren't you joining?" someone glared at him in displeasure.

Skinny tall man: "..."

"Hand over all the money you have on you, and I may spare your lives," Lian Ye said, looking at the crowd.

He had no intention of killing them all; that would be too troublesome.

Moreover, his purpose here was robbery, not the slaughter of all Bounty Hunters.

"Alright, alright, I'll give money, I'll give money!"

Anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem; spending money to buy a life is just perfect.

Money can be earned again, but once life is gone, nothing remains.

They're afraid the Douli Qingnian, like them, enjoys killing and looting; they themselves have done plenty of such unscrupulous deeds.

Fortunately for them, Lian Ye only seeks wealth and doesn't harm lives...

Lian Ye would never do the 'kill the chicken to get the egg' trick; as long as they're alive, they'll continuously provide him with money.

If they die, there's nothing left; a hammer of commerce can't be done!

At Lian Ye's summons, the Bounty Hunters hurriedly formed a long line to spend money for their lives. To prevent them from secretly hoarding cash, Lian Ye made them strip off all their clothes, leaving only a pair of underpants.

After paying, the Bounty Hunters, covering their crotches, hurriedly left the Exchange House...

If anyone hides money in their crotch, he'll just have to accept it.

"If you really hide money in there, you can't possibly pull it out, can you?"

"That young man," Shopkeeper Lao murmured softly.

He hadn't expected the newly arrived youngster's strength to be so great, that he could deny all Bounty Hunters any chance to resist.

One must know that those who become Bounty Hunters are a bunch of desperados; they'll do anything for money, and they're basically Jonin level...

A group of Jonin in front of the Douli Qingnian didn't even dare to pass gas, and could only honestly hand over money and leave; the sight was truly shocking.

He had been a shopkeeper here all his life, yet this was the first time he saw someone so powerful.

This matter must be reported to the boss!

Shopkeeper Lao, taking advantage of Lian Ye's preoccupation with collecting money, slipped into the secret room behind him.

In the empty secret room, Shopkeeper Lao lay on the floor and whispered.

"Sir, everyone in the Exchange House is causing trouble, and all the ninja guards have died!"

The previously mentioned Ba Lian Zhuanghan and others were actually hidden guards of the Exchange House.

As his words fell, a white humanoid creature immediately materialized on the ground—Bai Jue.

The Exchange House is one of Heijue's business chains; having been laying out in the Ninja World for millennia, it naturally needs some money‑making avenues.

"I will inform the boss; as for you, may you find your own blessings."

After speaking, its form slipped back into the ground...

Shopkeeper Lao sighed helplessly, hunched, and returned to the counter.

When he emerged, only Lian Ye remained inside the Exchange House.

"Sir, I'm just a hired hand, I have no money at all," Shopkeeper Lao said with a wry smile, "Kill or maim, it's up to you."

He was adopted and raised by Bai Jue since childhood, and after reaching adulthood he became the shopkeeper of the Exchange House.

He has been doing this all his life; being able to live to this age, he's already content.

Lian Ye had no intention of killing the elder, but instead asked the earlier question.

Why is there no bounty for me?

Even Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Yuanfei Rizhan have bounty notices—so why doesn't he?

Discrimination, outright discrimination! The Exchange House clearly doesn't take this Konoha Deadly Poison Master seriously!

Shopkeeper Lao looked at Douli Qingnian with a complicated expression; even the wide hat couldn't hide the unrestrained anger on the youth's face.

"May I know your honorable surname and given name?"

……

Just outside the Exchange House.

"What luck today—just stepped out and ran into an assassination target," Jiaodu said, holding a bloodied head in his hand and flashing a satisfied smile.

That filthy head will soon turn into bright white cash, and just thinking about it is exhilarating…

Just then, Jiaodu suddenly saw a bunch of naked fellows sprinting toward his spot, and in the blink of an eye they brushed past him.

"What's happening?"

A well‑meaning person couldn't help but warn, "Don't go to the Exchange House; someone inside has robbed all our money!"

Having said that, the well‑meaning person covered his underpants and fled.

"Robbers inside the Exchange House?" Jiaodu's eyes brightened.

Doesn't that mean—

If we just kill the robbers, the money becomes ours?!

Black‑on‑black schemes—Jiaodu is most adept at that.

Seeing those fellows' pitiful condition, the robbers are truly ruthless!

They only leave a pair of underpants behind…
