Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 40 - 40: Bullying Too Much!

”This.”

Seeing this scene, many fishermen shivered, clearly frightened by the Dragon King Gangʼs ruthless methods.

Honestly, as life became more difficult, the fishermen were indeed tempted to escape from the Dragon King Gang, this intermediary, and sell their catch elsewhere.

In this way, the price they earn would at least double.

But the Dragon King Gang is truly too ruthless.

Once the matter is exposed, itʼs a death sentence.

So no one dares to provoke the bad luck of the Dragon King Gang.

Seeing the death of these young fishermen, each fisherman showed an expression of empathy.

Because these people did nothing wrong.

They simply wanted to live a little better and have a full meal.

Yet even such a simple wish is not allowed by the Dragon King Gang.

Now their hearts are filled with rage.

”However, these three are just accomplices and not the main culprits.”

”The real mastermind is your Osmanthus Village resident, Song Fugui.”

”But this guy got wind of the news in advance, knowing we Dragon King Gang were going to take action.”

”He actually ran away with his entire family ahead of time.”

”But a monk can run, yet the temple canʼt escape.”

”You, as Song Fuguiʼs fellow villagers, are guilty too, for not reporting the information.”

”Therefore, starting this month, each of your monthly salaries will be doubled.”

At this moment, Luo Zheng revealed his plans, announcing the decision of the Dragon King Gang to everyone.

Ran away?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan was a bit surprised; he originally thought Song Fugui wouldnʼt escape, but who knew he was so smart and could slip away ahead.

Not only did he make a lot of money, but he also managed to escape unscathed, which is quite remarkable.

After all, how many people can take advantage of the Dragon King Gang?

However, he didnʼt think Song Fuguiʼs fate would be good.

After all, now is a chaotic era, disasters are everywhere.

Song Fuguiʼs family doesnʼt have much strength, but carries huge wealth.

If discovered by criminals, theyʼd become a fat sheep awaiting slaughter.

If they stayed in Tonghe County, itʼs still fine, as itʼs a familiar place with friends and relatives.

If they went to other places, where they arenʼt familiar, anything could happen.

So although he knew the Dragon King Gang was brutal, he stayed and endured.

Because besides Osmanthus Village, other places arenʼt much better.

Only by mastering absolute power can one travel anywhere in this vast world.

Otherwise, even with money, one is just a fat sheep, making wedding clothes for others.

What?!

With these words, many fishermenʼs faces changed dramatically; the original monthly salary was already a heavy burden, and now itʼs doubled, itʼs simply extracting their bone marrow, not wanting them to live at all.

”This is too much, itʼs only Song Fuguiʼs fault, what does it have to do with us.”

”Thatʼs right, the monthly salary was already too much, and now itʼs doubled, this wants us dead.”

”Even if the Dragon King Gang is strong, this is too unreasonable.”

”Right, why should we bear Song Fuguiʼs mistakes.”

Many fishermen expressed their dissatisfaction.

”Shut up.”

At this moment, Luo Zheng roared, ”Who is bargaining with you, if dissatisfied, you will end up like these three.”

He took out a Tiger-Head Saber, his muscles tensing like a small giant, exuding terrifying Evil Qi, like a fierce tiger coming out of the mountain, roaring through the forest.

Instantly, the villagers were scared into silence, not daring to say anything more.

Guess that just saying half a word more might lead to becoming souls under the blade.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

”Three days.”

”I give you only three days to come up with the salary.”

”If anyone doesnʼt have enough money, the Dragon King Gang will take action and capture you all.”

”Sold to Slave Camp, to serve as cannon fodder for the army.”

Luo Zheng sneered, sweeping over the crowd with disdainful eyes.

In his view, under his threats, these villagers would surely surrender tamely like sheep.

Of course, even if they resist, heʼs not afraid.

As a Strong Sinew Realm Martial Artist, these ordinary people are nothing but ants, he could slaughter countless with just a wave of his hand.

If he really started killing, no amount of villagers would suffice for him to kill.

But thereʼs no need for this.

If all these fishermen were killed, who would help the Dragon King Gang catch fish in the future?

These noble martial artists couldnʼt possibly toil under the sun and rain, just to catch some meager fish.

With that time, itʼd be better to enjoy life.

Thus, unless absolutely necessary, the Dragon King Gang wouldnʼt open a killing spree.

They already regarded these fishermen as their property.

”This.”

The villagers were silent, each with a bleak expression, unable to say a word.

”You kid named Jiang Fan?”

At this moment, Luo Zheng seemed to notice Jiang Fan, walking straight up to him, looking down: ”Itʼs said that last time my son Luo Chang came to Osmanthus Village, he had a conflict with you?”

”Indeed had some quarrel.”

Jiang Fan was suddenly shocked; he thought perhaps his killing Luo Chang had been exposed, leading them to come for him.

But it seemed not the case now.

Yet even so, Luo Zheng seems a narrow-minded person.

Even though he had some quarrel with Luo Chang before, it seems Luo Zheng does not plan to let him off.

”Ha ha, daring to have a quarrel with my son, youʼve got guts.”

”You clearly are an unruly person.”

”If left unmonitored, perhaps youʼd become the next Song Fugui.”

”Others only need to pay double salary, but you need to pay triple.”

”If you canʼt pay, then go to the Slave Camp.”

Luo Zheng sneered and looked at Jiang Fan indifferently.

He didnʼt believe this young fisherman Jiang Fan could be the murderer of his son.

Mere fishermen, how could they possibly kill his son.

But even so, he found this kid annoying.

As a superior, as a strong person, killing a regular person needed no reason.

If in a bad mood, one could do it.

No need for any reasoning.

”This.”

Jiang Fanʼs pupils shrank, unconsciously clenching his fists, an urge of killing intent rising within.

Held weapon, killing intent arises.

If he were weak, heʼd have to swallow his anger.

But now as a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist, wielding a Divine Blade, killing peers is as simple as killing a chicken.

This is very hard to endure.

But now is not the time to act.

After all, under the watchful eyes, if he killed Luo Zheng, he might not be able to stay in Osmanthus Village anymore.

Moreover, behind him was the giant Dragon King Gang.

However, if he dared to continue oppressing, then heʼll just slaughter him.

Anyway, in this chaotic time, one or two Dragon King Gang Elders dying is normal.

As long as he leaves Tonghe County, even Dragon King Gang canʼt do anything to him.

Even Song Fugui could run, thereʼs no reason he couldnʼt.
