Chapter 231 (1/2)
Little Xin (3)
“Sir, we think you should stay. You’d be worth much more. After we receive your ransom, we'll let you go,” said the leader peacefully.
“I’ll pay you the ransom now. How much is it?” asked Ye Lang. He didn’t mind being robbed at all. Money was just an object, it didn’t matter if he spent it all. It wasn’t worth fighting for his life with this group of criminals.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Ye Lang would lose if they fought. It would only be very inconvenient and it might cost him more than money. He would rather spend money to save himself trouble.
The leader stretched out an open palm, rotated then closed them into a fist. “I want everything you have! I want your family to pay for your ransom too!”
“I can consider the first condition you mentioned, but you can forget about everything else. I can only squander what I have. My family spends their own money, they wouldn’t let me squander theirs!” frowned Ye Lang. Although he was a prodigal son…
During these few years, he’d made the habit to only squander his own money. He was a prodigal son who spent money during appropriate situations. He didn’t want to trouble the Ye family with what they were going through right now! If the Ye family were still in Soaring Sky Empire, perhaps he would’ve considered…
“That’s not for you to decide. You’re ours now, a bird on an arrow, a turtle in a vase!!” The leader sneered, then gestured for his people to come forward.
“I’m not a...Bird… And I’m not a…. Turtle… I’m very capable so I suggest you be happy with what you have or you’ll get hurt! HAARGH…” he roared loudly, then shot into a position. He pointed, then wiggled a finger…
“...” Both the robbers and martial artist fell silent. Then again the martial artist was unable to speak so he had no other option.
“Now!!” commanded the leader. The group hurtled towards Ye Lang from all directions. All eyes focused on Ye Lang. They wanted to see how he’d retaliate to gauge his capabilities appropriately.
Ye Lang didn’t move, remaining in the same position.
Was he that good? Good enough to be so calm now?!
The robbers were close, very close, then their weapons and fists were about to touch Ye Lang when they’d realised Ye Lang still wasn’t moving! Something startling happened then!
Thud… Thud…
Ah…
Ah…
?!
And that was how the attacking robbers all flew out of the circle once again. Like before, no one could see him clearly. No one saw Ye Lang move either!
From the beginning till the end, all eyes were dead on Ye Lang especially the exact moment everything was about to touch Ye Lang. Their eyes focused on him to take in every single movement.
However, Ye Lang was surrounded by everyone so whatever he did couldn’t be seen by many people. At least this was what many told themselves.
What about Little Xin? She was still standing in a corner as if she hadn’t moved at all. It was impressive. Such a huge commotion and this little miss didn’t even move a muscle- not even a little shriek. She was way too calm. Did it mean she knew the brat would be fine? The crowd didn’t understand. It didn’t hurt to watch this Little Xin too!
However, some of them felt like there was something off with her too. It felt like she had moved… But not really.
“Hehe, as I said, I’m awesome!” Ye Lang smiled, opening his arms wide. He waved a hand at the people in front as if teasing them.
