Chapter 692 Impersonate 4 ” (2/2)

“What’s with your injury then?”

From the very beginning Bai Yan’s been suspecting something was up when Mu Leng showed up so perfectly after the girl was salvaged from the water. Now it’s beginning to make total sense.

“It’s the Mu Manor’s people,” the fatty puckers his lip to the side in discontent. “Those people were afraid of me exposing this matter to others, that’s why they sent assassins after me. Luckily my heart grew on the wrong side of my body and allowed me to avoid dying.”

“Do you want revenge?” Now Bai Yan’s tone was getting cold and serious.

“Revenge?” The fatty quickly waves hand in a panic, shaking his head to get the point through. “Please don’t make this joke with me. Mu Leng is Elder Muzhen’s disciple. In the entire elder council, that old woman has more than enough power to crush a lowly grunt like me and cover it up without anyone knowing.”

“Oh, is that so?” Nodding at the man’s insistence, “If you are not interested in revenge then I won’t force you. However, I am a woman of standard. Any debt must be paid in equal exchange. Regarding the part about you revealing me to Mu Leng, I expect you to repay me with your life as compensation.”

Originally the fatty merchant was already getting ready to issue a sigh of relief, but to hear this threatening statement from out of the blue, he could literally cry tears of foul!

“And you call that not forcing me? How do you expect me to refuse when you’re threatening my life!”

All serious in return: “Of course I’m not forcing you, just that… I like equal exchanges. Who told you to expose me to those people?”

Crying in grievance now, the fat merchant knew he’s now on the hook: “Then what do you want me to do?”

“Nothing much, only you coming out at the critical moment to act as a witness. And as an extra measure of safety, you will follow me from now on.”
