Chapter 302: Not Yet Seen

"An expert?!"

Seeing Shen Yu suddenly step out, Fang Ziying recognized him at a glance; wasn't this the expert he had seen on the street earlier? So, he was Shen Yu.

That is to say, his own guess was correct; this was a genuine expert.

If one were to speak of the past, those playboy sons like them were perhaps most afraid of seeing Shen Yu, for it was rumored that he was a man who killed without blinking and specialized in meddling in injustices.

Those playboys had done no shortage of bullying men and oppressing women in their daily lives; if they ran into Shen Yu, it would be no surprise if he slapped them down the moment he arrived.

Generally, after one of Shen Yu's slaps, a person would likely be gone. Yet, their families not only couldn't be angry, but they also had to applaud and cheer, otherwise, their entire family might be finished.

Therefore, Shen Yu's reputation in the Capital was extremely fierce, so fierce that just mentioning his name could make people tremble involuntarily.

But now, seeing Shen Yu, Fang Ziying not only felt no fear, but he inexplicably felt a sense of confidence in his heart. It was as if, with him standing in front, there was nothing to fear.

Even someone as strong as Ping Tower seemed like an ant for a moment.

A mere Ping Tower—Lord Shen should be able to handle it, right?

Ignoring the rich inner monologue of Fang Ziying on the side, Shen Yu took off his outer garment and draped it over Du Xiyin, covering her exposed skin, before looking once more at the still calm and composed Bai Song.

"Why, I'm taking someone away just like this; what price does your Ping Tower want me to pay? Let's be clear in advance: I won't pay any price at all!"

This action by Shen Yu was no different from a slap in the face, yet Bai Song was not annoyed, always responding to him with a smiling face.

Everyone present also watched all of this with curiosity, wondering if Shen Yu would suppress Ping Tower with his own strength, or if Ping Tower would spare no effort to uphold its own rules.

"Lord Shen being able to grace our Ping Tower with his presence is already giving us great face. We at Ping Tower have already received the face Lord Shen has given, so the transaction is naturally considered complete. As for Xiyin, you may take her away."

"From today on, she is your person; life or death, you may decide as you please, my Lord!"

"Damn!" With Bai Song's one sentence, everyone cursed inwardly. Look at that poor Hou Mansion son, Fang Ziying; if he wanted to take someone away, he would have to kill his own father and brother with his own hands.

Then look at Shen Yu—good heavens, just by coming, he gave them face, and this immense face was already worth anything Ping Tower had.

Where is your Ping Tower's aloofness? Where is your holier-than-thou attitude? Now, how is this any different from a bootlicker?

Just a moment ago, you were clamoring that as long as others completed your Ping Tower's tasks, you could kill Shen Yu. With this, you still want to kill Shen Yu? Relying on what? Relying on empty talk?

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong—so this is Ping Tower!" Smiling and shaking his head, Shen Yu came to fight, not to get chummy with them.

"No, my Lord is mistaken. Ping Tower has always dealt in fair trades. Lord Shen's face is worth exactly this price!"

"Then is my face worth the entire Ping Tower?" Slowly walking forward, Shen Yu's Super Perception had already covered the surroundings, and the Mountain and River Map had already been unfurled the moment he entered.

"I want your lives; I wonder if you are willing to give them?"

"Lord Shen, is this clearly intending to set yourself against us?" Smiling and raising his head, facing the undisguised killing intent, Bai Song felt not the slightest bit of fear.

"We at Ping Tower only want to do business quietly; we have never thought of provoking any trouble. Why must Lord Shen insist on making things difficult for us!"

"There are so many people here who are all thinking of coming to do business with our Ping Tower. Lord Shen doing this doesn't just cut off one side of our Ping Tower's business."

"That's right!" As soon as Bai Song's words fell, the people around them immediately felt their hearts tighten, and some looked over with unkind expressions.

What they were obsessed with was coming to Ping Tower to trade and realize their respective dreams; if Ping Tower were gone, where would they go to realize their dreams?

Ping Tower's asking price was indeed very high, but without Ping Tower, their dreams could probably only be thought of in their dreams—how could this be allowed!

Cutting off a person's dreams is like the hatred of killing one's father or stealing one's wife!

"What, you want to use these people to pressure me? Just by relying on them?"

"No, I just wanted to remind Lord Shen of one thing. It is naturally easy for you to take our lives, but who will realize their wishes?"

"These people do not just represent themselves; behind them, they represent behemoths one after another. Ping Tower has been able to exist in the Capital for so long—my Lord should know what this means, right?"

"We are all small characters whose deaths are not worth mentioning, but if this causes Lord Shen to fall into public outrage, it would not be worth it!"

"Heh, put that way, it's my fault then!" With a light laugh, Shen Yu swept his cold eyes over everyone, and that icy killing intent scattered all the indignation they had just stirred up.

Only then did everyone remember what kind of person was before them; he represented a fierce reputation piled up by the blood and tears of countless experts.

If he got angry, he would really kill people; he wouldn't care who was behind you. Then again, no matter who was behind them, they probably couldn't afford to offend this one.

"Is your Ping Tower really just for trading? These fools might have already guessed it, but they would rather believe in the dreams you wove for them than believe in reality!"

"What you at Ping Tower want has never been to harvest any wealth from them, or to have them do anything for you; what you want is only their despairing souls!"

Walking step by step toward Bai Song, Shen Yu's aura also climbed to its peak step by step, the heavy pressure overturning everything like a crashing sea.

"As long as they trade with Ping Tower, they will fall into the abyss step by step, until it is too late to regret."

Greed is always the original sin. They might know it themselves; human greed is infinite, yet they still swallow it like sweet nectar.

Today they can trade to get these things, and tomorrow they will want even more. Desire and greed are hurdles that can never be crossed!

Even knowing they might fall into the abyss step by step, they still refuse to turn back. They might think they are the exception, but in reality, where are there any exceptions?

Once a trade with Ping Tower begins, it cannot stop until the only thing waiting for them in the end is the most miserable outcome and the most painful despair.

"What is Lord Shen saying? My Ping Tower is only doing business; we have never thought of harming anyone!"

"Is that so? But why do I feel that you aren't trading at all, but are toying with human hearts, wanting to extract the power of despair from them."

"Come out, I have already seen you!"

Walking to the front of Bai Song, he looked directly at the other party, that sharp gaze seemingly reflecting into the deepest part of his heart.

Lurking there was a terrifying power; it was a power that made one feel as if their life had fallen into despair just by looking at it.

"Toying with human hearts like this, you are not a simple manager, and from beginning to end, you haven't even had a single emotional fluctuation; your expression is always so fake."

"You are nothing but a shell without emotions; the true core is here!"

His finger tapped on Bai Song's chest, and surging power directly submerged the other party. But the next moment, a terrifying spirit suddenly erupted from Bai Song's body, confronting Shen Yu's power from afar.

At this moment, there was no longer the smile from before on Bai Song's face; instead, it was cold and ruthless. Even when looking at Shen Yu, it revealed a condescending indifference.

"Ant, how dare you disturb my slumber? Have you ever experienced what is called despair?"

"I knew it, there would definitely be an unexpected harvest. Look, isn't it delivering itself to my door!"
