Chapter 93: Chapter 93 A Global Bounty on Ye Xiu’s Arm

Performing a split?

Hearing how Ye Xiu planned to deal with them, the members of the Ming and Li families were utterly dumbfounded. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine Ye Xiu would devise such a torturous method.

Even Qin Qing hadn’t expected Ye Xiu’s imagination to be so wild.

”A split is such a difficult move. I can do it, but I’m afraid my grandparents can’t,” Ming Yue said with a mournful expression.

”That’s easy to solve. I’ll just chop off their legs and arrange them in a line,” Ye Xiu said, opening a beer and taking a sip.

A chill ran down the spines of everyone from the Ming and Li families.

”We won’t do it! What can you do to us? I don’t believe you’d really dare cut off our arms,” Ming Yue said defiantly. She had to say it—if her family members were forced to do the splits, they’d surely break their legs.

”Alright, as you wish!” Ye Xiu stood up, knife in hand, and scanned the crowd. ”One arm each. Who’s first?”

At his words, Ming Yue froze. She hadn’t expected Ye Xiu to actually dare to chop off their arms.

”I’ll split! I’ll do it...” Ming Yue relented, snapping into a perfect split.

Seeing this, the others from the Ming and Li Families obediently sat down and tried their best to do the same. They all gritted their teeth in pain, sweat beading on their foreheads.

Soon, the skewers arrived.

Ye Xiu and Qin Qing ate and drank while enjoying the spectacle of the Ming and Li families struggling with their splits. By the time they had eaten their fill, only Ming Yue had managed to go all the way down.

Just then, more than a dozen cars suddenly pulled up. Meng Shaoxiong got out with a group of thugs and walked over.

”Boss, what are your orders?” Meng Shaoxiong asked respectfully.

”Starting tonight, have your men watch these people 24/7. If you catch them robbing, beating people, or dining and dashing, kill one of them at random for each offense. Understand?” Ye Xiu instructed.

”Rest assured, Boss,” Meng Shaoxiong replied respectfully.

”Take all the money from them and give it to the barbecue stall owner,” Ye Xiu said, standing up and leaving with Qin Qing.

Once he was gone, Meng Shaoxiong gave the order. His men searched the members of the Ming and Li families, took all their money, and forcefully shoved it into the hands of the barbecue stall owner. Leaving a few men behind to watch, the rest got into their cars and drove off.

The members of the Ming and Li families were left sprawled on the ground, their earlier arrogance completely gone. They knew that from now on, they might truly have to live the life Ye Xiu had lived ten years ago.

「The next day!」

Ye Xiu and Qin Qing rose early to practice their sword and blade skills as usual. After breakfast, Qin Qing left for work.

Chloe came over to speak with Ye Xiu. ”Mo Luo called me at one in the morning. He told me to inform you that someone at the Yunluo City branch of Panlong Pavilion has posted a bounty of 100 million gold for your left arm. In addition, the Liusheng family has announced that they are also offering 100 million gold for your left arm.”

Ye Xiu listened and gave a cold smile. The Long Family and the Liusheng Family must be trying to get a look at the dragon tattoo on my left arm.

He asked, ”What do you make of this?”

Chloe pondered for a moment before replying, ”Assassins, mercenaries, and other underworld forces are all lunatics living on a knife’s edge. They don’t know that you’re Huang Quan. For a 200-million-gold bounty on a doctor’s arm, I imagine the entire global underground will go into a frenzy...”

Men die in pursuit of wealth as birds die in pursuit of food.

Faced with such a colossal fortune, probably no underground power in the world could resist the temptation. If the target weren’t me, even I would be tempted to take this job.

If I issue the Huang Quan Soul Chasing Order, no one in the world would dare accept this task. But once the order is given, everyone will know that I am Huang Quan.

I don’t want to reveal my identity just yet, especially while being targeted by the Long and Liusheng families.

”Let the Panlong Pavilion in Yunluo City accept this task and post it,” he said after a moment. ”Inform Gong Jin to activate the global intelligence network. I want anyone who accepts this task, no matter who they are, eliminated immediately.

”Also, activate all our undercover agents in Jin Ye City. I want to control the movements of every last fish that has slipped through the net and entered the city.”

”Understood!” Chloe immediately took out her phone to contact Mo Luo and Gong Jin.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu hailed a taxi to Saint He Medical College; he had a class that morning.

When the taxi arrived at the college gate, Ye Xiu had just gotten out when he saw Murong crossing the road. For some reason, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, cutting a mysterious figure.

”Murong...” Ye Xiu called out.

Seeing Ye Xiu, Murong pretended not to recognize him. Keeping her head down, she started jogging toward the school gate.

”Wait!”

Ye Xiu ran over and blocked her path. ”Are you hurt?”

”Not at all,” Murong replied, her head still lowered, avoiding his gaze.

”Are you insulting my nose? I could smell the strong scent of safflower liniment on you from a mile away.”

Ye Xiu forcibly removed Murong’s sunglasses and mask. Upon seeing her bruised and swollen pretty face, he flew into a rage.

”Who did this?”

”I... I just fell,” Murong stammered.

”You fell and ended up with panda eyes?” Ye Xiu demanded.

Murong: ”...”

”Speak. Who did this to you?” Ye Xiu pressed, his voice filled with anger. ”I can smell it. You have safflower liniment on your elbows, ankles, knees, waist, and the back of your neck. The palm print on your face is still visible. You were clearly beaten up by a group.”

”Teacher Ye, please don’t ask,” Murong pleaded, tears welling in her eyes.

”I promised your grandfather I would look after you and the Mu Family. Now that you’ve been beaten like this, if I just stood by and did nothing, wouldn’t I be breaking my promise? Tell me who did this to you. I’ll crush them,” Ye Xiu said furiously.

”I...” Murong could no longer hold it in. Tears streamed down her face as she said, aggrieved, ”I was tricked by a loan shark.”

Ye Xiu was taken aback. ”Why would you borrow from a loan shark? If you needed money, you could have asked me.”

”To pay the rent,” Murong explained. ”You hadn’t returned to the country when I borrowed the money.”

Ye Xiu cursed himself for his carelessness. Although the Mo Family of Hanyun, the leaders of the Hanyun Ancient Martial Circle, was a prominent Ancient Martial Arts family, the Mu Family had been farmers for generations and was quite poor. Murong, without a stable job in Jin Ye City, would indeed struggle to survive in such a Great City Prefecture by only working odd jobs.

”Tell me how the loan sharks tricked you,” Ye Xiu said, suppressing his rage.

”A month ago, I borrowed 5,000. The agreement was that I would repay 7,500, principal plus interest, after one month. I signed the contract without reading it carefully. Yesterday afternoon, the loan shark came to collect and demanded 50,000. He showed me the contract, and only then did I realize they had tampered with it. When I tried to argue with them, they beat me up. They said that if I don’t pay the money by dusk today, they’ll break my legs,” Murong said, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and grief.

Listening to her, Ye Xiu was enraged. He had always heard that loan sharks were bloodsucking vampires, the scum of the earth, but he had never encountered one himself. It seemed reality was even more despicable than the rumors.
