Chapter 751: A Chain of Schemes! 1 (1/2)
“Brother, I heard that my people have been detained?”
Coming alone to the garrison post of the mayor’s building, Bai Xiaofei, still in the appearance of Liu Heng, approached the gatekeepers with a big smile.
The guards were startled. After all, Liu Heng was a puppet master. Instinctive fear made it hard for normal people not to panic upon being addressed by a puppet master.
“Yes, the squad guarding the city gate did bring back a few people recently. We’ve received an order from above to take anyone who comes for them there. Come with me.”
Despite their apprehension, the guards still appeared composed. After all, they were still a part of the official army of a city.
Following the guards, Bai Xiaofei passed a series of depressing-looking structures before finally arriving at a place that looked slightly more magnificent. If it weren’t for the occasional tragic screams coming from inside, it might have been more welcoming…
“Master, someone has come to bail out those people!”
It seemed that this was not the first time something like this had occurred. Upon being called, someone immediately went out to greet them, and the person happened to be a familiar face – Qin San, who previously suffered a loss from Huskie at the city gate.
Bai Xiaofei knew him, but the guy didn’t know Liu Heng and therefore took him for a stranger, a fat sheep to be slaughtered!
“Bailing out your people?” asked Qin San coldly. He was still dejected about losing his money pouch. What was inside was more than his monthly salary!
“No, no, you may have misunderstood me, official. I did come for those people, but not to bail them out,” replied Bai Xiaofei as he took out a pouch.
Qin San’s eyes lit up at how heavy the pouch appeared, and without surprise, Bai Xiaofei stuffed it into his hands.
“This is a greeting gift. I wonder if you can find us a private place to talk?” Bai Xiaofei asked.
Qin San took a glance inside the pouch. The gold coins inside made his eyelids twitch.
“Come with me.” Stowing the pouch, Qin San’s attitude took a U-turn. He led Bai Xiaofei to a slightly decent room and carefully shut the door.
Can’t let others see this moneybag!
“Alright, what do you want to do with those people?” Qin San was smart. He understood what Bai Xiaofei meant with only a hint as he had encountered his fair share of ‘taking people’s money to eliminate their problems.’
“I want them to disappear from this world in a reasonable way, without leaving any trace!” Bai Xiaofei took out an Amethyst Card.
Seeing the card, Qin San was stupefied. The lowest-ranked Amethyst Card still needed to have 10 thousand gold coins inside, which was enough to pay for Qin San to guard the gate for his entire life!
Seeing the energy armor materializing on Bai Xiaofei’s body, Qin San gulped. He was not a puppet master, but he had knowledge on the subject. A Grandmaster Rank master puppet master was beyond what Starflame City could handle!
“Master, please rest assured! I will disappear from this city immediately after I finish the job!” A frightened Qin San was shaking like a leaf. Let alone being paid, even if Bai Xiaofei demanded money from him now, he would not refuse. Nothing was more important than his life!
“No need to be so serious. I’m very easygoing.” With a smile, Bai Xiaofei said something that Qin San didn’t dare to believe even if he was killed.
