Chapter 433: Ownerless Treasure, Those Who See It Get a Share!

Soon, a dozen or so members of the Search Army together strained to carry the gold out.

Then they fetched several ox carts to transport the gold.

Su Yang's hands and feet were both locked with shackles, and he lay beside the wooden box, his eyes filled with utter hopelessness.

The Squad Leader looked at the watching crowd and shouted, "Six Harmony Association Gang Leader Su Yang stole the Warlord's important supplies; now both the criminal and the loot are captured, send him back to the Junying for legal disposition!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the crowd immediately whispered among themselves.

"The gang leader stole something? He's so rich, what could be worth his stealing?"

"Shh, speak more quietly; otherwise you might be taken as an accomplice later."

"Huh? Isn't that the Grand Hall Master of Donghai Hall? Why is he here?"

"Look at his bearing; I'm sure he's here to seek revenge!"

"Definitely, a few days ago Gang Leader Su killed more than forty people from Donghai Hall."

"Alas, just after his injury healed and he was discharged, he was captured and taken to the Junying; even if he manages to survive, at most only half a life will remain."

The people are not foolish; the Warlord's methods have deeply taken root in their minds.

This arrest appears on the surface to punish a criminal, but its true implication is known to everyone.

The Squad Leader's official statement is merely a justified pretext.

Even so, the onlookers have little to say.

Compared to Su Yang's safety, they are more concerned about what exactly was stolen to warrant such a grave crime!

People couldn't help but stick out their heads to inspect the wooden box, and many mimicked the look of eyes straining to see through.

"Step aside, don't block the way!" the Grand Hall Master slapped away the approaching people with a single palm.

Just as they were about to depart back to the camp, Su Yang slowly said, "You will receive retribution."

At this moment he was out of character, calmly frightening them.

He showed no fear or despair about the impending punishment.

"I don't know whether I have retribution, but I am certain your retribution has already arrived," the Grand Hall Master whispered with a cold sneer.

"The people from Mingguang Building are also nearby, right? Why didn't they come with you?" Su Yang asked.

"No need to trouble you with that. Since you have a little time, why not think early about what you'll eat for tonight's Beheading Meal, so I can arrange someone to prepare it for you," the Grand Hall Master said with a sinister smile.

Su Yang glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze.

The Grand Hall Master, seeing his resigned demeanor, felt pleased and said, "Rest assured, I will take good care of you on behalf of the Six Harmony Association."

Soon, led by the Search Army, the group marched in unison toward the Junying.

At that moment, Su Yang's gaze met Lin Yang's, and a slight curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

The latter let out a relieved smile, nodded and formed a mouth shape—

"Everything is arranged."

When the group completely disappeared from the Six Harmony Association's sight,

A little brother of Weiwu Hall said angrily, "Yang Ge, you just watch the gang leader being taken away with your eyes wide open?"

"And if not?" Lin Yang retorted.

"Once inside the Junying, there's ten deaths and no life; you should know better than I do what kind of torture the gang leader will endure inside!"

"Then what do you think should be done?"

"Rob the Road!"

"Hahaha…" Lin Yang burst into laughter, patting the speaker's brain, "The Six Harmony Association didn't raise you in vain; you're a real man."

The man's eyes flashed with resolve at those words, "When do we make our move?"

Lin Yang, with a hint of a deeply concealed smile, said, "We don't need to act ourselves; someone will step forward on their own."

"Hmm?"

The man wore a puzzled expression.

Besides their own, who else would rescue Su Yang?

Could it be the Floating Life Business Association?

They are far away in Xicheng District; distant water cannot save a nearby fire.

Moreover, the other side is a Warlord; there's no need to wade into this murky water for a mere partner.

While he was pondering, Lin Yang said, "Go find Hall Master Zhao and tell him he may take his position now."

"Alright."

Although he didn't know what the plan was, seeing the cold glint in Lin Yang's eyes eased much of his inner anxiety.

…

Liuhe Street.

A group of people dressed in dark blue garments walked ahead, pulling an ox cart behind them.

On the ox cart sat a wooden box, and beside the box lay a person.

The Grand Hall Master of Donghai Hall was smug, yet his face bore the characteristic sternness.

He publicly paraded, completely crushing the last shred of Su Yang's reason and dignity.

"The Six Harmony Association gang leader's crimes are monstrous; he has now been sentenced to execution, all idle onlookers must step aside!" the Grand Hall Master announced loudly.

The surrounding crowd grew larger and larger, nearly blocking the road completely.

These usually diligent people had never seen such a grand scene before.

There were many petty thieves, but those caught were usually killed on the spot; why would they be escorted in this manner?

This shout attracted the residents of Liuhe Street.

Among them were Feng Yan and Liang Shu, who ran along, watching Su Yang's wretched state, their hearts torn like knives.

"Liang Shu, how did it become like this?" Feng Yan's pretty face turned pale, and she spoke absent‑mindedly.

"It must be Donghai Hall behind this, causing trouble," Liang Shu said in a deep voice.

"If the boss really entered Junying, he's doomed; we must rescue him!" Feng Yan said.

"Rescue must be done, but we need to plan carefully; you go quickly and inform Hall Master Zhao."

However, as soon as the words fell, a deep voice was heard.

"No need, Liang Shu, I'm already here."

The two turned their heads and saw Zhao Xian arriving with fifty Weiwu Hall brothers.

"Hall Master Zhao, what should we do now?" Feng Yan asked anxiously.

"Wait!" Zhao Xian said.

"Wait for whom?"

Zhao Xian said nothing, his gaze fixed on the Wooden Box.

The Grand Hall Master scanned the street, looking at the shops that would soon fall under his jurisdiction, and his mouth twitched upward unconsciously.

He immediately turned back to Su Yang, whose eyes were tightly closed, and mocked, "Our families' ten‑year feud has finally reached its end day."

Su Yang gave no reply, merely closing his eyes and meditating.

"It's fine you don't speak; the matter has come this far. In the future I will build you a fine tomb, as thanks to your dead ghost father."

"Thanks for what?" Su Yang suddenly spoke.

"Of course I'm grateful he gave birth to such a good son as you; if it weren't for you, could I be this lucky?" the Grand Hall Master laughed heartily.

Su Yang also laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" the Grand Hall Master asked.

"I laugh at your ignorance, at your stupidity, at your pitifulness."

"Facing death you still dare to be arrogant? You don't think you still have a way out, do you?"

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, and said calmly, "Whether I'm alive or not I don't know, but I know you're not far from death."

"You..."

Before the Grand Hall Master could act in anger, a booming roar was heard.

"Swoosh—"

"Pfft!"

The Bullet smashed a cow's Brain into pieces, and the nearby cows were instantly startled, running wildly in frenzy.

The Squad Leader's face changed dramatically, and he shouted, "Cover!"

Before the troops could act, the frantic cows tore free of the ropes, and the cart abruptly overturned during their escape.

The Wooden Box fell to the ground and instantly shattered into pieces.

A massive chunk of gold rolled out, gleaming as it tumbled to the middle of the road.

At that moment, the whole street was eerily quiet.

The townsfolk all stared at the gold, temporarily forgetting the earlier gunfire.

Pair after pair of green, hungry‑looking eyes breathed rapidly, their sounds echoing back and forth.

The Grand Hall Master instantly reacted, turned his head sharply toward Su Yang, "Did you cause this?"

Su Yang strained with both hands, suddenly breaking free of the Shackles, and then drew a Long Sword from the bottom of the Wooden Box.

While everyone was stunned, a swift slash beheaded the Search Army Squad Leader!

Su Yang picked up the head, raised it overhead, and shouted, "The Search Army Squad Leader is dead."

"Ownerless Object, those who see it share it!"
