Chapter 2161 - 2121: The Consequences of Greed

The value of each painting, just from Ye Qiu’s auction of those oil paintings in Europe, is considerable for each one.

However, right now Ye Qiu is not being so particular with Gambino.

After putting the check into his pocket, the middle-aged man said, "Dr. Ye, the Godfather says you may visit if you have time."

"Alright, I’ll come over when I have time."

After the middle-aged man left, Ye Qiu knew that the person following him probably wasn’t sent by the Mafia Organization.

But, who exactly sent them?

Ye Qiu still didn’t know.

At dinnertime, Ye Qiu dined with Miranda, Xia Jing, and Mr. and Mrs. William.

After dinner, it was still early, so Ye Qiu and Miranda took a stroll outside the Manor.

It was past nine at night when Ye Qiu asked Miranda to go and sleep with Xia Jing.

After bathing alone, Ye Qiu continued his cultivation.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when Ye Qiu heard footsteps and the sound of a door opening, then a shadow directly aimed a handgun at him.

"If you don’t want to die, come with me outside."

Ye Qiu knew that tonight at Wall Street, the person following him was very likely this man.

"Put your gun away, I’ll follow you."

Ye Qiu followed the man downstairs and outside.

From start to finish, the William family’s bodyguards didn’t realize someone had broken in.

When Ye Qiu got into the car, he saw another person inside, smoking.

The man drove away now.

After about two hours, when the car stopped, Ye Qiu realized this place was more isolated.

What kind of ghostly place is this?

Ye Qiu truly didn’t know, but he knew it was definitely in the outskirts of New York or even farther away.

After getting out of the car, Ye Qiu was taken into a room.

As soon as Ye Qiu entered, he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

It wasn’t anyone else; it was Dr. Smith.

"Doctor, we’ve brought the person."

The two said.

Dr. Smith looked over and said to Ye Qiu, "Dr. Ye, surprised to see me, huh?"

Ye Qiu indeed didn’t expect Dr. Smith to invite him in such a fashion.

What’s the reason for this?

"Don’t know what you want, then?"

"Simple, I want your medical skills."

Dr. Smith revealed a glint of greed in his eyes as he spoke.

At that moment, Ye Qiu found it hard to believe that the person opposite him was actually a Harvard elite, and that this white elite was so greedy.

However, thinking back on the behavior of Europeans and Americans over hundreds of years, he knew human greed had always existed, especially in the blood of these whites.

Some people are just worse!

"What medical skills?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Of course, cancer-curing medical skills."

Dr. Smith replied bluntly.

"You can’t have those skills."

Can’t have them?

Ha!

Is this possible?

If it’s real skills, then how could it be possible to not have them?

Ye Qiu didn’t expect curing those patients of cancer would trigger Dr. Smith’s greed.

But, thinking about it, it made sense.

If someone could cure anyone’s cancer, who wouldn’t want it?

"You can’t have it."

"Dr. Ye, I can give you money."

The other man tried luring Ye with incentives.

Money?

Ha.

This is definitely not about money.

"You can’t give me money."

"How much do you want?"

If it’s over tens of billions, even hundreds of billions of USD, with the reputation of research into cancer, Dr. Smith could easily acquire it.

"One trillion USD."

A trillion USD?

Dr. Smith quickly realized that this young man was playing him.

A trillion USD was certainly impossible.

Even hundreds of billions of dollars are unlikely.

Though many antiviral pharmaceutical companies might provide a lot of funding for research, this situation with Ye Qiu is entirely different.

"So you’re unwilling? What I can’t get, I won’t let others have either."

Since Ye Qiu was unwilling, coercion was the only way.

Dr. Smith glanced at the two men.

"Give him a good beating, see if he’ll still be stubborn."

Dr. Smith went outside.

Clearly intending to have the two men teach Ye Qiu a lesson first.

However, after Dr. Smith left, Ye Qiu looked at the two men and said, "Either die or live. Choose for yourselves!"

"Kid, you’ll soon be dead, not knowing how you died."

The two men prepared to act.

But just as they went to strike, they suddenly began feeling unwell, then their whole bodies became extremely itchy, causing them such discomfort they became weak all over, unsure of what to do as Ye Qiu came over and directly disabled their limbs.

Of course, this wasn’t the harshest punishment.

The most severe punishment was taking their lives.

When Ye Qiu stepped outside, Dr. Smith was waiting there.

Unexpectedly, seeing Ye Qiu walk out alone.

What’s going on?

Seeing Ye Qiu approaching him, Dr. Smith began to feel scared.

As he drew the gun from his body, preparing to shoot Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu appeared beside him in the blink of an eye, grabbing the gun from him.

"What do you want to do?"

"The consequence of greed is always one!"

"That is death!"

Dr. Smith thought Ye Qiu would fire.

But he didn’t, and seeing Dr. Smith almost scared out of his wits, Ye Qiu looked at him with contempt and walked out.

What’s this ghostly place?

He didn’t know either.

Getting into the car, he drove away, using Google Maps for directions back to William Manor.

When he returned to William Manor, it was already past four in the morning.

This wasted quite a bit of Ye Qiu’s cultivation time.

However, there was no choice but to take a shower and continue cultivating now.

Ye Qiu didn’t rise until after eight the next morning.

Today, he was a bit late, but Ye Qiu mainly was absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

Coming downstairs, Xia Jing and Miranda were already up.

The two women naturally didn’t think Ye Qiu would go out last night.

"Ye Qiu, why are you up so late today?" Miranda asked.

"Had some business last night."

After breakfast, Ye Qiu continued to treat the patients Mr. William had found.

Last night, Dr. Smith thought his actions towards Ye Qiu would lead to Ye Qiu reporting it, but it didn’t happen. Shortly after Ye Qiu left, he felt his wet pants and hurriedly dialed a call to others.

Returning home, he was indeed worried that the young man would call the police.

But he found out that was never the case, nor did he see any police coming to look for him.

Could it be that the kid wasn’t pursuing the matter?
