Chapter 230 (1/2)
Little Xin (2)
The robbers secretly pitied the guy. He was having such an unlucky day. To meet such a weird rich person, then trusted him enough to eat the medicine he provided.
Not only did the pill not treat his wounds, but it also poisoned him. Now he had to detox- but the process might weaken him greatly. He might even die from it.
That would be very funny. This story would be a legend in years to come!
They’d also realised that this person dying in the rich master’s hands was the same person they’d been trying to kill.
So many men were sacrificed but they couldn’t kill him and yet this young master finished the job so easily. Why?!!
It didn’t matter. The robbers were incredibly satisfied with their money!
Cough. Cough. “Hi, young sir, the hundred thousand gold coins you mentioned, is the deal still on?” The martial artist was half-dead from Ye Lang’s antics, looking like he was about to die any time now. Everyone was a little nervous about the deal.
“Yes. As long as you let him go, the gold coins will be yours. It doesn’t matter if he lives or dies afterwards!” When he finished, Ye Lang poured a hundred thousand gold coins out of his ring.
It was so satisfying paying in gold coins, look at their faces! He definitely wouldn’t have been able to achieve this effect by writing a cheque!
From today onwards, I’ll always bring gold coins around- shiny gold coins!
As they stared at the heaps of gold coins, the crowd started to have other ideas. Did this person have more gold coins on him? A lot more?
The robbers started to discuss among themselves.
“What should we do, boss? This brat looks like he’s very rich. Should we tie him up? It doesn’t matter if he has more on him. His family will give us even more money to pay for his ransom!!”
“This brat must be a gold mine. His family must be filthy rich!”
“Right! Tie him up, and that little miss…”
“She’s so pretty. I haven’t seen such a pretty girl in my life…”
“Hear, hear…”
They turned their attention to Ye Lang. Their filthy minds wanted Little Xin.
Everyone seemed to be in a struggle with themselves. To kidnap Ye Lang or not, no decision could be made…
It was an unspoken code among even thieves and robbers. After getting their share of profits, they had to let the person go, not squeeze the victim dry. Such a despicable act would only be looked down upon in the underworld.
Ye Lang’s hundred thousand gold coins were enough for any team of robbers to retire rich. At least they didn’t have to rob anyone again.
...Unless they were greedy, unethical criminals! The worst of the worst!
The scale slowly tipped towards the kinder side. Perhaps they should stick to their code and morals.
“Boss, take the brat and the bitch back to the mountains. Stab the other one to end him and no one will know of this! We’ll kill the brat after we get the ransom, and for the little miss… Hehe…” said a stout member quietly, but he let out a chilling sneer at the end of his sentence.
The scales tipped slowly towards the other side, and it was getting heavier and heavier…
When they turned to look at Little Xin, wicked thoughts grew exponentially. Kindness, codes, morals were all thrown out of the window.
“Surround them!” roared the boss, his eyes never left Little Xin.
