Against the backdrop of the night, Xu Jingming held the bag of silver in one hand as he moved quickly. None of the silver in the bag made any sound.

Despite having one of them injured, Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng moved silently like ghosts and quickly returned to the Chang residence.

Tonight, Qingyu was in charge of guarding the Chang family’s side door.!!

Qingyu opened the side door the moment she heard the gentle knocking, allowing Xu Jingming and the others to enter quickly. “How was it?” Qingyu asked. “Dong Xiao is dead,” Xu Jingming replied. Mr. Lu and Miss Ziteng nodded.

Qingyu revealed a look of delight when she heard that. She then swept her gaze and noticed the gash at Mr. Lu’s waist and abdomen—he had done some simple bandaging. “Mr. Lu got injured?” Qingyu was worried. “It’s fine. I just need to eat more meat, and I’ll recover 80% of my strength by tomorrow. I’ll be completely fine in a few days,” Mr. Lu explained.

Once one reached cellular control, they could efficiently absorb nutrients from the food they ate. Moreover, they could maximize the healing of their wounds.

Qingyu nodded. “I’ve already prepared a feast for the three of you. I’ll bring it over now.” “Send it to my residence,” Mr. Lu said. “Alright.” Qingyu nodded.

Xu Jingming and the others arrived at Mr. Lu’s residence. The three of them were quite excited. “Come, come.” Xu Jingming placed the bag of silver on the ground and opened it to reveal 20 silver ingots.

The silver l.u.s.ter delighted them. They wouldn’t care about silver in reality, but the silver in Blood Rain World was related to the sacrifice and the opportunities in the mysterious land. It was extremely valuable. “200 taels of silver,” Miss Ziteng said with a smile. “We’ll split it equally. Is that alright?” “No problem.” Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu nodded. “Alright, we’ll each take six silver ingots first.” Miss Ziteng quickly distributed them. The three of them each took six silver ingots, leaving two silver ingots behind. “T’ll do it.” Miss Ziteng instantly drew her saber, and with a flash, she delivered four strikes. The last two silver ingots were divided into three parts, and they were visually about the same. “With my saber technique, these six should be about the same. The two of you can choose first,” Miss Ziteng said.

Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu looked at each other and took two each. Following that, Miss Ziteng reached out and took the last two.

With that, the distribution of the loot was done, and everyone was happy.

Rip.

The clothes containing the silver were torn in half, and Xu Jingming and Miss Ziteng wrapped up their silver. As for Mr. Lu, he temporarily placed the silver under his blanket before they heard footsteps outside, and Xu

Jingming got up to open the door. “Lady and gentlemen.”

Young Master Chang Yi and Miss Qingyu walked in together. The latter even came in with a wooden bucket and smiled. “I know that the three of you are hungry, so I’ve prepared more meat.”

With that said, she took out large plates from the wooden bucket and placed them on the dining table. They were mainly large chunks of meat, and there were also some vegetables, noodles, and alcohol. “Thank you,” Chang Yi said with a smile. “I’ve already sent 300,000 cosmic dollars into your accounts.” “Thank you, Young Master Chang.” The three of them smiled. Including the money they had received, each of them had earned more than 900,000 cosmic dollars.

Chang Yi was also very happy. He had also earned more than a million and had even intimidated Phoenix Lake Hall’s Hall Master.

However, this could only be done occasionally. After all, he would’ve suffered a loss if they had failed. Moreover, it would affect his credibility at Seven Kills Building—he would get demoted if he failed multiple missions.

Mr. Lu had already picked up a piece of lamb shank and started chewing it in large mouthfuls. He didn’t even spit out the bones as he chewed, crushed, and swallowed them into his stomach, digesting and absorbing them as quickly as possible.

Xu Jingming and Miss Ziteng also ate large mouthfuls of meat. In a battle, any random move of theirs unleashed tens of thousands of kilograms of force. It used up plenty of energy, so they naturally had to eat.

As they ate and drank, Xu Jingming and the others chatted happily. As for Young Master Chang Yi and Miss Qingyu, they left after a short chat.

At Dong Xiao’s residence.

Phoenix Lake Hall Master’s expression sank as he stared at the ruined house and Dong Xiao’s corpse that had been placed beside it. “Hall Master,” the white-s.h.i.+rted youth whispered. “This group of murderers was barbaric and domineering. They destroyed the inner courtyard’s walls and buildings and tore through the part.i.tion and sluice gates of the underground tunnel, charging straight through. The deputy hall master didn’t manage to escape far with the help of the underground tunnel before being killed.” “Even if it’s a group of powerful experts, they should be careful when entering the underground tunnel and be careful of any possible traps. With the deputy hall master’s strength, he should’ve been able to escape as long as he bought some time. However, it’s obvious that the murderers didn’t slow down at all! How ruthless!” The white-s.h.i.+rted youth couldn’t help but feel his heart tighten.

The deputy hall master was a second-rate expert, but he was killed just like that. Who in Phoenix Lake Hall could survive such a pursuit? “They were ruthless indeed.” Phoenix Lake Hall Master felt apprehensive. Although the guards in his residence were stronger, he believed that he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand such a ferocious pursuit. “The deputy hall master’s death is a huge matter. This will definitely gain the attention of the boss,” the white-s.h.i.+rted youth whispered. “T’ll meet him tomorrow morning.” Phoenix Lake Hall Master nodded.

That night, the upper echelons of the Flower Moon Gang’s Phoenix Lake Hall didn’t have a good night’s rest.

The next morning.

Phoenix Lake Hall Master arrived at a luxurious mansion and stood respectfully to the side. A white-haired elder sat there and rinsed his mouth before shooting a glance at Phoenix Lake Hall Master. “Cui Xiaodao.” The white-haired elder looked at him. “I heard that Dong Xiao from Phoenix Lake Hall died. What happened?” “Yes,” Phoenix Lake Hall Master said respectfully. “Half a month ago, there was a bounty on Dong Xiao’s head from Seven Kills Building. I had already warned him back then, but it’s common for gang members like us to have bounties on our heads. Dong Xiao didn’t mind it too much, but who would’ve thought that several experts would barge into his residence last night and kill him?” “A bounty from the Seven Kills Building? From the looks of it, they were a.s.sa.s.sins.” The white-haired elder nodded.

After all, the Flower Moon Gang knew the ins and outs of the city as locals. They were usually made aware of the Lanyue City bounty missions offered by Seven Kills Building at the first moment. However, Seven Kills

Building absolutely kept the ident.i.ty of the commissioner a secret.

Seven Kills Building… was one of the top three a.s.sa.s.sin organizations in the empire. It wasn’t something a local gang dared to offend.

To dare break the rules of Seven Kills Building and think of a way to investigate the person behind the bounty, all of the Flower Moon Gang’s upper echelons would probably be killed the next day. “He’s our gang brother after all. Give him a good funeral,” the white-haired elder said. “Oh right, I’ve already made peace with Commander Wu! Commander Wu has agreed that you don’t have to compensate him now, but after you deal with that illegitimate son of the Chang family, you have to pay 1,500 taels of silver as compensation.” “Understood.” Phoenix Lake Hall Master immediately nodded.

Commander Wu sent a centurion to ask for compensation? Phoenix Lake Hall Master naturally immediately requested the help of his boss!

In Lanyue City, Commander Wu and the leaders of the three gangs were all heavyweights. “Alright, you don’t have to worry about Commander Wu. However, you have to deal with Chang Yi as soon as possible. Now that everyone in Lanyue City knows that the Flower Moon Gang’s Phoenix Lake Hall has their eyes on the Chang family, you have to do a good job.” The white-haired elder looked at him. “If you can’t, tell me.” “Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll definitely do a good job,” Phoenix Lake Hall Master immediately replied.

The white-haired elder nodded slightly, picked up the tea beside him, and lowered his head to drink it.

Phoenix Lake Hall Master cupped his hands and left.

Phoenix Lake Hall Master returned to his residence with his subordinates. “Hall Master, a young beggar delivered a letter.” A man brought a young beggar, whose face was covered in dirt, over. “A letter?” Phoenix Lake Hall Master frowned. He glanced at the letter and saw four words—Death of Dong Xiao! “Death of Dong Xiao?” Phoenix Lake Hall Master frowned. “Open it.”

The stocky man immediately opened the letter and took out the letter inside. There was only one sentence in the letter: “Hall Master Cui, you want to fight to the death? Chang.” “Chang?” Phoenix Lake Hall Master jolted.

The murderer is Chang Yi. Phoenix Lake Hall Master immediately made confirmation, and his expression turned ugly when he saw the words ‘fight to the death’ on the letter.
