Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 708: Chapter 707: Good and Evil Will Be Repaid

The person was startled for a moment but quickly reacted, delivering three solid slaps to his own face.

After three slaps, half of his face was swollen, with trickles of blood at the corner of his mouth, indicating just how forceful they had been. This also demonstrated the extent of his sincerity in his apology.

Even with half of his face swollen and in utter disarray, the look in his eyes when he regarded Su Yang was still full of admiration and reverence, without a hint of anger. Even though it was Su Yang who asked him to slap his own face three times, the feelings he harbored for Su Yang were still gratitude and admiration.

The patient who was fourth in line watched Su Yang with a face full of hope, as Su Yang’s demands for the first three patients had all been different. Especially for the third patient, Su Yang merely made them slap their own faces three times, so they wondered if their turn might bring better circumstances, or if they might not have to slap themselves at all.

However, it was clear they were thinking too much.

Su Yang walked up to this patient, stared at him and his family for a while, then with a wave of his hand sent a slap flying out, knocking seven or eight people back through the air.

Among these people, three hit the pillars and died on the spot. The others, although not dead, were also seriously injured and struggled to even get up.

Everyone was shocked, not understanding what Su Yang was intending. If he didn’t want to save the patient, why harm people unnecessarily?

He hadn’t treated the previous three families with this attitude; what was Su Yang trying to convey?

The few who managed to climb up looked at Su Yang fearfully, and one of them mustered the courage to say, ”Master Su, what... what are you doing? We have offended you before, and that was our fault, but... but you’re hitting too hard, aren’t you? Even if what we said was wrong, they said similar things, and you... you only dealt with us like this...”

He didn’t continue, but it was clear that they all felt unjustified.

After all, everyone had said similar things, but Su Yang’s treatment of them was starkly different. Especially since arriving at their turn, Su Yang had gone as far as to severely injure them and even killed three, which they found hard to accept.

”Bei Lin tragedy,” Su Yang spat out four icy words.

The others didn’t know what he was referring to, but the family’s complexion changed drastically; they knew exactly what Su Yang was talking about.

It was a tragedy they had once caused, resulting in over a dozen deaths. The incident had been suppressed, unknown to outsiders, but the core members of these families were naturally aware of what had happened back then.

When Su Yang mentioned those four words, terror filled their hearts to the brim. They didn’t know how Su Yang had come to learn of it, and they didn’t dare to ask.

The people from their family had almost all been involved in that incident. And the three who had been killed were those who had personally taken lives at the time.

In plain terms, it wasn’t because of their words that Su Yang was angered, but because of that tragedy that he killed.

Considering Su Yang’s earlier remarks about good and evil receiving their due, the family fell silent; this was indeed the retribution for their evil deeds!

Su Yang looked at the patient from this family and said coldly, ”You should feel lucky that you are gravely ill and don’t have many days left. Otherwise, I would have killed you myself and made you pay for everything you have done!”

The patient was already in severe condition, struggling and in obvious pain, unable to speak, barely able to breathe heavily.

In his current state, he was living a fate worse than death. The Divine Physicians Alliance was his last hope, but now that hope was gone, and all he wanted was a swift death to escape the pain.

Su Yang certainly understood what he was thinking, so before leaving, he slapped the man’s throat.

As a result, the man would never be able to speak again. He couldn’t write either, unable to express his intent in any form. In other words, he wouldn’t even be able to die as he wished, only to suffer through the pain until death.

It was his turn to pay the price for his deeds.

Su Yang turned to leave when a relative of the second patient seemed to finally come to a realization and hurriedly followed him.

”Master Su, three billion... we are willing to pay...” the person said with a trembling voice, clearly pained at the thought. After all, three billion was a terrifying amount even for them.

”Are you sure?” Su Yang asked with a faint smile, ”Three billion is no small sum. Don’t overextend yourselves!”

The person gave a forced laugh, mouthing words that even they found insincere, ”No... no trouble at all, no trouble. Master Su said... said nothing should be done reluctantly...”

”Very well!” Su Yang replied with a light smile, ”In that case, go and get the money ready. I’ll start the treatment as soon as the money arrives. Oh, and by the way, I estimate the patient can last another week, so you’d better hurry. If you’re too slow, even if I want to save him, it’ll be too late.”

The relative’s expression shifted with urgency, and he said with a tremble, ”Master Su, it’s not easy to gather three billion in one week...”

”If you can’t come up with it, then start preparing for his funeral,” Su Yang replied. ”You should get ready for at least one of the two options!”

The outsider’s face was sullen, sadder than tears. He realized that Su Yang really didn’t care whether their patient lived or died. But then again, it was their own fault. They had never committed acts of kindness throughout their lives, so how could they expect Su Yang’s compassion?

Reward good and punish evil; first, you must perform good deeds to be rewarded. Without good deeds, what entitlement to reward?

”Then... then we will start raising the money...” the person hesitated, speaking softly, ”but, Master Su, you mentioned you were returning to Nanluo City, and from here to Nanluo City is... quite the distance...”

Su Yang responded calmly, ”If you gather the funds, go to any sect of the Divine Physicians Alliance, and they will treat him!”

Others might not dare to make such a claim, but Su Yang certainly did. As the head of the Divine Physicians Alliance and deeply respected by these sects, a single word from Su Yang could compel them to fully assist with his wishes.

As expected, the Sect Leader and Gate Leader from those sects nodded in agreement, supporting Su Yang’s words. It was evident that if this person brought forth the three billion, any of the sects would provide treatment.

The man finally took a breath of relief. Deciding to offer three billion had been a huge resolution for them. If, after gathering the sum, the distance impeded timely treatment, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?

With Su Yang’s word, they had nothing more to worry about; all they needed to do now was to accumulate the three billion. As for finding someone for treatment, they could do that in the vicinity.
