Chapter 1060: When People Leave, the Tea Goes Cold

"If it weren't for me, the grass on your grave would be several meters high by now. Now that you're successful and I'm down on my luck, you don't take me seriously anymore?" Yu Qiao said, gritting his teeth.

"Don't make yourself sound so noble, okay?" Qiao An sneered. "It's true you've helped me, but I haven't given back little to you over these years. Yu Qiao, do you understand the principle that when people leave, the tea goes cold?"

"Everyone knows you've lost your influence within the territory now. Do you really think you're still the 'Second Master Yu' of the past, to whom everyone gave face wherever you went? Let me tell you, Wang Wei has already put out a bounty; your head is worth fifty million. Kill you, and the fifty million is in hand. You have no choice right now."

"So, you're going to betray me for fifty million?" Yu Qiao looked at Qiao An in disbelief. "Just for this fifty million? You're even going to betray someone who previously saved you and helped you? Qiao An, I really misjudged you. You have truly opened my eyes."

"Ahahaha, fifty million is indeed not much to me; it can't even feed my team for a few days. But Yu Qiao, everyone says you have a Treasure Map in your hands." Qiao An laughed heartily. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be treating you so well with such good food."

"It is said that your Treasure Map is the endless treasure buried by the Chuang King when he fled hundreds of years ago. As long as one obtains this map, one can find this treasure. Do you know why so many people are looking for you? It's because of this." Qiao An laughed loudly.

"Who did you hear this from?" Yu Qiao was shocked. He looked up at Qiao An in disbelief. "Is this news released by Wang Wei?"

"Besides him, who else could it be? The reason Wang Wei is using all his power to make it impossible for you to survive in the country is for this Treasure Map. Yu Qiao, since we've torn off the mask today, don't waste any more time. Hand over the Treasure Map."

Qiao An picked up his fork and leisurely cut the steak in front of him. "If you do that, you might still have a way to live. If you don't hand it over, you die."

"Heh, you believe Wang Wei's nonsense? We are competitors, mortal enemies. He would stop at nothing to kill me. He actually believes his words?" Yu Qiao sneered. "But none of that matters."

"What matters is that the person I trusted most wants to put me to death for these inexplicable things. To me, this is a sorrow, because there is no one left around me that I can trust."

"Cut the crap. Since the circle is spreading this matter so wildly, I don't think it's baseless." Qiao An sneered. "Yu Qiao, don't force me to use methods on you. You used to deal in antiques and would occasionally bring out rare treasures; no one knew where you got them from."

"Thinking about it now, you must know where the Chuang King's treasure is; otherwise, how could you have so many good things in your hands? Out of consideration for old times, I didn't directly turn against you today, but don't be ungrateful. That won't be good for anyone."

"I said there isn't one, so there isn't." Yu Qiao said, gritting his teeth. "I trusted you so much, yet you treat me like this. Fine, Qiao An, the friendship between us is severed. From now on, we have no relationship."

"You want to leave?" Watching Yu Qiao stand up to leave, Qiao An smiled. "Do you think you have a chance to get out once you've entered my place?"

"Then what do you want to do? Keep me? Or kill me?" Qiao An stared coldly at Yu Qiao.

"Leave your things behind, and you can go. Or, you can lead the way to find the treasure. The Chuang King's treasure must be in a very dangerous place. Your ancestors for three generations were Gold-Touching Captains; you can definitely lead us to find the treasure safely." Qiao An stared at Yu Qiao.

"Don't even think about it." Yu Qiao was furious. "It is impossible for me to take you to find the treasure. Give up that thought."

"So, you really do have it?" Qiao An's eyes lit up. He muttered, "I knew it, I wasn't wrong. Heh, Yu Qiao, it's fortunate that I maintained a relationship with you before. When you got into trouble, you thought of me first."

"Otherwise, it would have been hard for me to find you. Come here." Qiao An shouted.

Several men holding guns walked over immediately. Yu Qiao was like a small warlord here; he had hundreds of people, each with a gun, and they also held heavy weapons. He was also the type of person who would kill without blinking.

"Take Brother Yu Qiao down and settle him in well." Qiao An waved his hand, then smiled at Chen Yu. "Mr. Chen, let's continue. The matter between me and Yu Qiao won't affect us continuing to do business."

"I don't intend to continue cooperating with someone who lacks integrity." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I only cooperate with people I can talk to. For those who are deceitful, I don't think there's a need to continue cooperating."

"Heh, Mr. Chen, you need to recognize the situation. Yu Qiao has no influence at all now. Here in S Jing, everyone shouts to beat him, because everyone knows he has a treasure map in his hands, and everyone wants to get his treasure map."

"Mr. Chen..." Yu Qiao looked at Chen Yu with a terrified expression. If even Chen Yu wouldn't help him now, he really had no other way; he would have only one path to death.

"I have no interest in the treasure map. What I am interested in are those Spirit Stones. Qiao An, I don't want to create extra complications. I'll give you one more chance: bring the Spirit Stones." Chen Yu said indifferently. "Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."

"Are you an idiot?" Qiao An slammed the table hard. He looked at Chen Yu with a ferocious expression. "Did I not make it clear to you just now that our cooperation continues?"

"I don't want to make things difficult for you; you are my client. But why can't you understand my words? Chen Yu, do you have to force me to take action against you? Do you know that if this gets out, it won't be good for my reputation?"

"So, there's nothing to talk about between us?" Chen Yu spread his hands helplessly.

"Heh, nothing to talk about. Since that's the case, then you stay too. You offered 1.5 billion right off the bat; your family must be very wealthy. Let your family bring money to redeem you." Qiao An laughed heartily, not knowing he was courting death indefinitely.

"Kidnapping?" Chen Yu glanced at Qiao An and said, "Can I understand it that way?"

"That's right, you can understand it that way. I am kidnapping you. Thank you, Brother Yu Qiao, for not forgetting to bring me a fat sheep when you delivered yourself to my door." Qiao An was very smug and laughed heartily. "You really are the noble person in my life."

Yu Qiao's face was livid. Qiao An was truly planning to be shameless.
