Chapter 147 - Chapter 147 - 147 Ominous Premonition (2/2)

William and Bai Qiu, who had come out together, also began to mobilize their connections.

…

“Congratulations, Host, for completing a day’s business. Today’s net profit is 1,935,600 yuan, earning 1,935,600 points. Your current total accumulated points are 3,953,780 points.”

Chen Yu’s body shuddered slightly as he was jolted awake by the system’s notification.

A wave of cold air hit him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

From the damp environment around him, he seemed to be in a cave, but the darkness enveloped him so completely that he couldn’t discern any direction or time.

However, judging from the system notification, it should now be 8 p.m., Friday, local time!

Dragging his somewhat heavy body, Chen Yu shakily stood up, only to feel his bones cracking and popping.

This must have been because his skeleton was misaligned from being squeezed into a small space for a long time.

With a vigorous stretch, the misaligned bones in his body instantly snapped back into place.

“Kid, not bad at all. It took me two full days to realign my bones after I was captured, but you managed it in just an instant.”

A cold voice with a hint of allure suddenly sounded from beside him, startling Chen Yu.

“Who are you?” Chen Yu immediately became alert.

“Don’t rush. Just get used to the darkness here, and soon you’ll be able to see me.”

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly, trying to stay calm. It wasn’t long before the surrounding environment began to slowly come into view.

Right across from him, not too far away, lay a rather unkempt woman who seemed to be in her thirties.

She was bound with five thick chains that were embedded in the stone wall.

Chen Yu shifted slightly, trying to get closer.

But to his surprise, he was shackled with the same kind of chains as the woman.

“You’re quite something, kid, to receive the same treatment as me. It seems those guys value you highly. How did you offend them?”

Chen Yu felt depressed. To tell the truth, he didn’t even know why he was here, let alone anything else.

“Who exactly are they?”

The woman paused for a moment: “You don’t know who they are, and you got captured? You really are an odd one.”

Chen Yu let out a sigh and said no more, instead focusing on the iron chain in his hand, slowly starting to exert force.

The woman raised an eyebrow: “Don’t bother, those chains are made of a special material, no matter how strong you are…”

She was cut off as a clanging sound suddenly erupted. The iron chain in Chen Yu’s hands had been forcefully torn apart.

Chen Yu proceeded to do the same, dismantling all of the chains wrapped around his body.

“Holy crap! Are you even human? With such strength, quickly come over and help me out. Once we’re out, I’ll reward you handsomely.”

Chen Yu couldn’t help furrowing his brows; he still didn’t know this woman’s identity, but she was already getting chummy with him.

But since they were both caught and brought here together, they shared a common plight, and it wouldn’t hurt to help her out.

Moreover, the woman had a serious injury on one leg; the external wound was already festering.

Even if she were free from the chains, walking would be a problem, and she posed no threat to Chen Yu.

No sooner had he unshackled the woman than the door to the cave thunderously opened.

A muscular but slightly deformed man, carrying two meals, walked in nonchalantly.

When he saw the scene before him, he froze on the spot, instinctively raising the weapon in his hand.

Before he could pull the trigger, a large hand clasped around his throat.
