868 Made a Partner In Crime (2/2)
'And – and… where's your dignity?'
Yun Yang spoke casually, ”Back to where we were, you've already fulfilled my request. OF course, I must return you the flower. There you go, the orchid's yours now. Nothing here concerns me anymore. I bid my leave, everyone.”
Although Qian Duoduo had yet to finish telling him about Bound of Universe, he could find anyone to complete the task. There was no need for him to confront an enemy whose capability he had no idea of for the fatty. Yun Yang was very levelheaded and turned to leave, not even a sliver of hesitation in his movement.
Hugging the jade box that held the Rimed Orchid, the fatty was crying badly, despite regaining his possession. He was befuddled.
'Why is there a plot twist like this?'
'I've never seen something like this throughout the many years I've roamed this martial world!'
The tall and lean man's gaze gleamed as he suddenly called out to stop Yun Yang, ”Hold on right there!”
”Handsome, where are you going!” The fat one beside the former man sprung up and blocked Yun Yang's way.
A frown appeared between Yun Yang's brows.
”What do you want?”
He stayed away from mortal affairs, but they had come to him; he did not want any trouble but trouble came skipping to him anyway.
The fat shorty scoffed, ”You want to leave after seeing our transaction? There's no such advantage in this world.”
”I actually don't understand why you want to stop me,” Yun Yang sighed and said, ”Your goal is to rob Qian Duoduo's Rimed Orchid, but you won't kill him in the process. This means that there's no worry of me spreading the news. If Qian Duoduo wanted to, he'd think of his ways to broadcast this incident. Qian Duoduo and I aren't together, I don't think you can't see through this. This also means that I won't fight you two for him. Lastly and most importantly, you and I, we don't know each other. You don't know the level of my ability as well; aren't you afraid of a sticky mess? It's best not to branch out into more trouble when you're onto something serious. It's impossible that you don't understand such a simple theory!”
”What you say is correct but useless. Leave the wealth you carry on you and chop off your legs before you can go,” the short fatty chuckled menacingly and barked his instructions.
Yun Yang raised his head lightly. During that moment, a stark realization struck him. It was true that one could only either rob or kill but that was not the absolute end to it because any law had its loophole.
For example, these two people here would not actually kill him or Qian Duoduo, but they would very likely severe his legs. How could someone who lost both his legs and his belonging survive in this martial world that thrived on risk?
Whether the man was ultimately eaten by a beast or killed by others, the two initial culprits would have avoided the lawful constraints as they were the ones who originally killed the victim…
”There are many clever men in this world, but some assume themselves to be clever while some are actually smart…” Yun Yang sighed and glanced at Qian Duoduo.
It seemed that he had been made this fatty's partner in crime today. It was the fatty's wishful thinking, but it was indulged passively by Yun Yang.
Qian Duoduo perked up instantly as he made a little celebratory dance.
”Boss, kill these two jerks!”
The fat and thin pair were on guard at once. Staring at Yun Yang, they spoke, ”Our mistake. You're actually Qian Duoduo's boss. How impolite of us.”
Yun Yang smiled without any sincerity and replied, ”No need to say more. Let me see how capable you clever ones actually are.”
With a sharp gasp, his saber was pulled out of its scabbard. The tip was pointed towards the bandit pair as Yun Yang said, ”I do not wish to speak another word to the both of you. Move quickly if you want, less nonsense!”
