Chapter 631: After all these years apart, have you been working hard to earn money?

"What kind of joke are you pulling…"

Jiaodu saw the two people in the room, his green eyes bulging, his mouth gaping beneath the mask, his face a terrified expression.

What did he see?

The legendary Ninja World Asura Madara Uchiha and his most hated Yuzhi Bo Lianye!

How could the two of them possibly be in the same room at once!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Jiaodu actually wanted to reassure himself, thinking perhaps Madara Uchiha was a Konoha person in disguise, and Yuzhi Bo Lianye was a hallucination born of his obsessive thoughts.

But the terrifying aura emanating from them made it impossible for him to comfort himself.

Especially Madara Uchiha— that guy really wants to kill him!

Facing the oppressive pressure radiating from them, Jiaodu, after so many years of life, even felt an urge to kneel.

They're too powerful; I'm no match!

Damn, wasn't Madara Uchiha already dead long ago?

Could the rumors be true, that Konoha Village didn't spread gossip, and Madara Uchiha truly died and resurrected?!

Had he known this, even a bounty of ten billion taels wouldn't make him dare to take it!

Money without a life to spend it.

At this moment Jiaodu's face turned deathly pale as he contemplated escaping before them.

He's no match for Yuzhi Bo Lianye, let alone Ninja World Asura Madara Uchiha.

Could it be that I must meet my end here today?

Madara Uchiha has never seen Jiaodu, and even if he had, he would have no impression.

He stared at the intruder with an unfriendly expression.

Truly clueless about death!

In contrast, Lian Ye, upon seeing Jiaodu, withdrew his oppressive aura and wore a surprised look.

Hey, isn't this Jiaodu?

He had recently lamented that it had been a long time since he saw Jiaodu's cash machine.

Back then Lian Ye extorted a lot of money from Jiaodu.

After so many years, his wealth must have accumulated again!

Jiaodu met Lian Ye's greedy, calculating gaze; his body stiffened, yet he involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

From what he knows of Lian Ye, that guy is extremely money‑obsessed and a robber.

Fortunately, he only seeks wealth and never harms lives.

Anger Madara Uchiha, and he has only death ahead; anger Yuzhi Bo Lianye, and at worst he'll get beaten up and have the wealth he's hoarded for years stolen.

The good news is his life is spared; the bad news is the money is gone.

"Jiaodu, long time no see."

Lian Ye deactivated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, cheerfully looked at the stunned Jiaodu at the doorway, and said warmly.

"Jiaodu, what are you doing standing there? Come in and sit!"

Although he doesn't care for the three melons and two dates in Jiaodu's pocket, he enjoys this unearned feeling.

Every few years thereafter, he'll come to rob Jiaodu a few times.

Anyway, that guy only knows how to earn money and doesn't know how to spend it.

Why not help him solve the problem of spending money!

Madara Uchiha heard this, withdrew his oppressive aura, and frowned slightly.

When did this kid become acquainted with such an ugly, nothing‑to‑look‑at fellow?

Jiaodu, who possesses Chidō's legacy, really can't be called a normal‑looking person.

Madara Uchiha has little affection for such a half‑human, half‑ghost type.

Had it not been for Lian Ye's acquaintance with this person, he would have acted to eliminate him moments ago.

Lian Ye's enthusiastic invitation, in Jiaodu's eyes, was no different from a demon beckoning his wallet.

Damn, after saving money for so many years, is it all going to wash away today?

Even though a hundred parts of his heart refuse, facing Lian Ye and Madara Uchiha in the room, he can only grit his teeth and step forward.

Running is impossible.

If he doesn't run, he'll most likely just hand over all his money; if he runs, Madara Uchiha will definitely slay him on the spot!

"Uchiha… Lian Ye."

Jiaodu stood dumbfounded before Lian Ye, swallowed reflexively, and forced a calm greeting.

Don't be fooled by his outward calm; inside he's nearly terrified to the point of wetting himself.

Ninja World Asura Madara Uchiha really did die and resurrect!

The strong aura emanating from Madara Uchiha can't be faked; Konoha ninja never pretend the composure unique to the truly powerful.

Damned, Konoha Village is getting more unreasonable!

Even resurrecting the dead has become commonplace!

"Jiaodu, it's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it?"

He recalled their last meeting seemed to be at the Exchange House over a decade ago.

Lian Ye happened to earn the appreciation of the big boss behind the Exchange House there, received a massive fortune, and conveniently robbed Jiaodu—a freebie he couldn't pass up.

Since then, he hasn't lacked money.

Honestly, Lian Ye is quite grateful to that boss, though he's never actually met him.

He always feels that the boss wouldn't give him money for no reason; there must be something he needs to do.

But the other side never shows up, nor sends anyone to contact him.

That is rather odd.

"Yeah, more than ten years."

Jiaodu's eyes were slightly reddened, with tears glimmering in his gaze.

He will never forget that some scoundrel robbed him.

He has always been the one, Jiaodu, robbing others; this is the first time he himself is robbed.

No, it's not the first time!

Before that, some scoundrel had already robbed him.

Damn it, they teamed up just to catch this sheep of mine and fleece it!

Jiaodu feels that Lian Ye is his nemesis; whenever he meets him, nothing good happens.

If possible, he wants to stay away from Lian Ye.

In front of Lian Ye, he even forgets Madara Uchiha's threat.

The scariest thing in life is that when a person dies, the money remains.

But the most pitiful is that while a person lives, all the money is gone.

Jiaodu knows he is about to face the second kind of pitiful situation.

He doesn't think Lian Ye will kill him; otherwise there would be no more sheep to fleece later.

In fact, there are more than two options; there's also the case where the money is stolen and the person is silenced.

He just refuses to think about it, and dares not contemplate that direction.

All he can hope for is that after Lian Ye takes the money, he will be granted a way out.

Although Jiaodu loves money, it falls short compared to life.

After all, only while alive can one earn more money; dead, there is nothing.

"Jiaodu, after all these years without seeing each other, have you been working hard to earn money?"

Finally, Lian Ye indeed asked the question Jiaodu fears most.

His money seems about to no longer belong to him.

Damn, that was the bounty he painstakingly earned one head at a time!

This guy is about to take it all away!

"Everything is here; I hope you can give me a way out."

Jiaodu knows that before the two of them he has no room to bargain, so he simply endures the pain and hands over the Storage Scroll.

Fortunately, he has more than one heart; otherwise his heart couldn't bear it.

"You're being overly polite," Lian Ye chuckles, slipping the Scroll into his pocket. "I'm just asking, not planning to hit you for money."

He is the illustrious Konoha's richest; how could he possibly set his eyes on such trifles?

It's just that his hospitality is hard to refuse; not accepting would be rude.

Jiaodu: "……"

Heh, you're stronger than me; what you say makes sense.
