Chapter 433: Chapter 272: Hiring and Fishing (Part 2)

"Alright...!"

"Also, keep my movements confidential. I’ll pay you the full one hundred million merit points. Make sure you do a clean job!"

Wang Yu’s thighs trembled slightly, but he continued to agree:

"Yes! Rest assured, I’ll guarantee it with my life!"

Yu Fei chuckled. "Heh, I believe you."

"Let’s go. I’ll pay you first."

Wang Yu immediately stood and bowed. "This way, please!"

...

"Manager... this... could Gao Yunxiang be from... *them*...?"

Wang Yu shook his head solemnly. "Absolutely not!"

The two watched as Yu Fei paid, took the contract, and left. The man seemed curious about everything. He even stopped at a fruit stall and bought a large quantity of the same fruits that had been on the fruit platter earlier.

"Su Wei, this Mr. Gao is an absolutely one-of-a-kind client. I will personally handle his case. He requested confidentiality, so you are not to leak any information. Do you understand? If anything goes wrong, even if you are my woman, I still..."

He didn’t finish the sentence, but the implication was clear.

Wang Yu stared intently at Su Wei. This top enforcer of the Iron Banner Gang exuded an astonishing Evil Qi. Intimidated, Su Wei’s face turned pale, and she trembled as she nodded frantically.

"I understand... Yu!"

Her cultivation realm had been built entirely on resources. To put it bluntly, she was just a trophy Wang Yu kept around.

Before she could leave, Wang Yu grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head onto the conference table.

Su Wei cried out, but quickly complied by lifting the hem of her qipao to her waist. If she had been any slower, the dress probably wouldn’t have survived.

RIP...

"Ah~"

Just as she saved her qipao, her lace panties were yanked up hard, stretching into a shocking curve before tearing apart under the strain.

[PS: Please imagine the following content yourself!]

"Hah..."

Wang Yu’s body was stiff. He had just vented all the fear from his mind.

That chubby young man had, without showing any emotion, made him feel the terror of death.

’This guy... how can he only be at the Fifth Realm!’

Wang Yu suspected he had to be some kind of monster from the Grandmaster Realm.

Even the Grandmasters from rival gangs didn’t put this much pressure on him.

’But I need to get this done quickly.’

’Five days... to coordinate the personnel and figure out how to split the profits... looks like I’ll have to give up a portion of it.’

Su Wei carefully cleaned up the mess and was about to leave, but Wang Yu dragged her back, forcing her head down until she was kneeling on the floor.

"I’m warning you, don’t try to be clever when you’re handling clients in the future. Know your place and act accordingly, understand?!"

Only after Yu Fei had left did Wang Yu feel a lingering fear. That idiot Su Wei had doubled the price. If their client had decided to make an issue of it, he would have been in deep trouble.

The world of Martial Artists wasn’t a place for reasoning. The consequences of offending certain eccentric individuals were unpredictable.

"Ah! I understand, Yu."

Tears welled in the corners of Su Wei’s eyes, her crying tinged with a coquettish charm.

Looking at Su Wei, he thought about how this stupid woman had bungled the job, taking it upon herself to quote an exorbitant price. If that man had used it as an excuse to cause trouble, they would have been facing a huge mess.

A Martial Artist who could casually offer a hundred million merit points was not someone they could afford to offend.

The Iron Banner Gang was just one of the eight major gangs in Mengchu City, and nothing more.

Wang Yu was keenly aware of this. The Iron Banner Gang was a notable power in Mengchu City, but that was the extent of it.

"Yo, you’re back, little bro!"

The attendant at the Wilderness Inn greeted him enthusiastically. Yu Fei found the man interesting and responded in kind.

The man approached with a smile, holding a cup of tea. "This is from our boss’s private collection. Would you like to try some?"

"What’s the price?"

"What are you talking about? You’re our benefactor! It’s on the house! You’re one of our biggest spenders, after all!"

Yu Fei just smiled without saying a word, taking the tea and sipping it lightly.

The tea had a rich aroma. As Yu Fei drank it, his Inner Qi recovery speed seemed to quicken for a moment before the effect faded.

"Not bad."

A golden light flashed in his pupils. A bright yellow mark appeared on the corner of his clothes. Of course, this mark was invisible without the use of a Pupil Skill. Yu Fei smelled a strong, pungent odor, as acrid as concentrated onion extract.

Yu Fei’s five senses were far sharper than a normal person’s, which was the only reason he could perceive these tricks.

Seeing that his trick had worked, a genuine smile spread across the attendant’s face.

"Sigh..." Yu Fei sighed softly.

He hadn’t wanted any more trouble, but it seemed you can’t talk a man out of his own death wish. The kid had still used some trick on him.

His outwardly displayed realm was Five Realms Divine Intent, while this attendant, Huang Shi, had barely reached the Inner Qi stage. He had no idea where the man found the audacity to plot against him.

Yu Fei returned to his room, packed up briefly, and planned to check out and leave.

"Yo, little bro, not staying a while longer?"

Huang Shi greeted him enthusiastically.

"I’m planning to head over to Wind Chime City. Mengchu City is just on the edge of the Cross-Border Black Fog, after all. I got tired of the scenery after a few days."

"Aren’t you going to find a group to travel with, little bro? The roads aren’t safe. I happen to know some reliable forest rangers. They charge a lot, but they’re very dependable."

Yu Fei smiled. "No need. I’m at the Fifth Realm, after all. According to the guides, the road to Wind Chime City isn’t that dangerous. I’ll just treat it as a sightseeing trip."

Huang Shi patiently chatted with him, even taking his luggage and personally walking him part of the way out.

Yu Fei watched as Huang Shi discreetly left another mark on his luggage.

’Truly, people are especially patient when they’re up to no good.’

After Yu Fei left, Huang Shi rushed to find his boss to ask for time off.

"You really have something to do, kid?"

"Boss, my third uncle is getting married. I have to go!"

The boss stared at him, speechless for a long moment.

Huang Shi felt the pressure and couldn’t help but plead, "Boss..."

"Forget it. Don’t even bother asking for leave."

He directly transferred 100,000 merit points to Huang Shi and then took out a form.

"Sign it. We were like brothers, but I can’t talk you out of this. From now on, you’re on your own. We have nothing to do with each other."

Huang Shi froze. Suddenly, he dropped to his knees.

"Mr. Hu..."

"Say no more. It took everything for me to get my brothers and myself out of that life. Since you’re set on this path, I won’t stop you."

"Just... the martial world is a dangerous place. Forgive others when you can. Try not to create too much bad karma."

"Go on."

Huang Shi was stunned by his words. He finally realized that Mr. Hu had seen through all his little tricks; he just hadn’t bothered to call him out on them.

The fact that he was only bringing it up now meant he had probably given him plenty of chances in secret.

Huang Shi kowtowed three times, then left, utterly dejected.

Standing under the scorching sun, he suddenly felt a pang of loneliness.

SLAP!

Huang Shi slapped himself across the face.

Then, his expression turned vicious.

’I’ve got to hurry!’

He thought of Yu Fei’s fat body, and an inexplicable resentment welled up inside him.

"Damn rich kids from prominent families! A fat pig can eat his way to the Fifth Realm! Fuck!"

"I’m just robbing the rich to feed the poor! Hmph!"

...

"Little Shi! Are you sure he’s a fat sheep?"

"No doubt about it, Dao. The kid’s a big spender. At the very least, all that fat on him will sell for a good price!"

A man with a golden saber on his back led the way, with Huang Shi in second place pointing out the path. Three others followed behind them.

The man with the golden saber mused, "That’s true. You said he’s young but has a Fifth Realm cultivation, and he’s fat. He must have eaten a ton of supplements. The medicinal properties have accumulated in his body but haven’t been refined yet."

"People like him fetch a high price on the black market. The evil cults love them. He’s a top-quality sacrifice!"

...

After leaving Mengchu City, Yu Fei traveled about thirty li to the east before stopping.

The forest around Mengchu City was quite sparse. The desolate beasts within had long been cleared out by passing Martial Artists. The ones that occasionally appeared hadn’t undergone distorted evolution, were weak, and didn’t even have much meat on them.

Yu Fei caught a small, mole-like creature and carefully sensed the power within its body.

The creature was only several times stronger than an ordinary animal. A dense power of flesh and blood was beginning to form inside it, and its Qi Blood was gradually developing.

Its physical constitution was enhanced overall, but the process was crude, leaving many unrefined parts within its body. It was far inferior to a First Realm Martial Artist.

However, the density of its Qi Blood far surpassed that of a First Realm Martial Artist.

WHOOSH...

"Dao, the kid is right ahead!"

"Found him!"

"He can really run!"

Huang Shi and the others had been tracking him the whole time, but their Body Techniques were too poor. If Yu Fei hadn’t stopped to wait for them, they would have never had a chance to catch up.

"Huang Shi, what business do you have with me?"

Yu Fei asked, feigning ignorance.
