Chapter 213: Death!
Chapter 213: Death!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't get angry but instead smiled even more brightly.
He was just about to inquire about the other party's background.
"Why don't you tell me, who are you?"
"Do you know about the Stormwind Martial Arts Academy?"
"The Stormwind Martial Arts Academy? I've heard of it."
Jiang Cheng paused slightly and then said, "I heard that the headmaster of the Stormwind Martial Arts Academy is an Eighth Rank Force Knight, and he's quite a big shot in this outer borough."
"Good to know."
Liu Yun proudly said, "My husband is the second disciple of Headmaster Xie, a Third Rank Force Knight. If you dare to mess with me, you won't get away with it."
"So, you guys tricked people into loans, signed dual contracts, and in the end, all the money you earned went to the Stormwind Martial Arts Academy?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Liu Yun's expression changed, and she immediately denied it, "What do you mean by tricking people into loans and dual contracts? We're running an honest business and never resort to such schemes."
After all, some things were common knowledge, but saying them out loud was a different matter.
Especially since the reputation of Dingshi Loan Company had already been tarnished.
If the people around them knew that the Stormwind Martial Arts Academy was their backer, it would undoubtedly affect the academy's business to some extent.
"Is that so? On my way here, I met someone with a broken leg lying by the roadside. He said he borrowed 200,000 yuan from you, but you made him sign an 800,000 yuan contract. You even tricked him by saying that it didn't count, and he only needed to repay 200,000 yuan. But when the repayment date came, you calculated it based on 800,000 yuan, driving him to desperation. Is this what you did?"
"Pure nonsense!"
Liu Yun crossed her arms and laughed coldly, "It's written in black and white. He borrowed 800,000 yuan, and to shirk his debt, he even came up with such a lame excuse. How about it? Are you here to stand up for him? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you might get yourself into trouble."
"You're truly arrogant."
Jiang Cheng spoke calmly.
Before entering, he had already heard the voices inside.
The reason he hadn't taken action yet was to find out who was backing these people and if the information provided by the society was consistent.
As it turned out, this time, the Dawn Society's mission was indeed a legitimate one, without any traps.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't hold back.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
A series of gunshots rang out.
Several people crouching in the corner were shot in the head, their blood blooming on the wall, a shocking sight.
"Ah!"
The woman hugged her head and let out a hysterical scream.
"Shut up."
Jiang Cheng's voice was deep and powerful.
"If you dare to scream again, I'll shoot you."
The woman instantly fell silent, her legs trembling non-stop.
"Don't kill me, please, I beg you, don't kill me. I have money, I have money."
Her pitiful appearance was a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.
"How much money do you have?"
"Fifty thousand yuan."
"Fifty thousand?"
Jiang Cheng's voice turned cold, "You've cheated so many people, and you only have fifty thousand?"
"No, it's not like that."
Liu Yun tried to explain, "That money was taken by the headmaster. Our company's backer is Headmaster Xie. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to operate here at all."
"Where's the money?"
"In the safe behind us."
"Take me there."
"Give, give you the money, will you spare me?"
Liu Yun pleaded, looking at Jiang Cheng.
"Don't test my patience. I have a hundred ways to make you hand over the money willingly." Jiang Cheng let out a cold laugh.
"I, I understand."
Liu Yun shivered.
She knew that after handing over the money, the man before her might not let her off easily.
But she was even more aware of her own limitations.
She didn't possess the willpower to endure torture.
The two of them walked to the back room, where they reached a safe. Under the gunpoint, Liu Yun obediently opened the safe, revealing stacks of thousand-yuan bills.
Even though Jiang Cheng had seen this many times before, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Five stacks, each containing a hundred bills.
Exactly 500,000 yuan, no more, no less.
Moreover, these bills could be used within the Dawn Society, even if he transferred a portion of the 1 million yuan from home, it wouldn't raise Bing Li's suspicions.
Unfortunately, his current permissions were limited, and the items he could purchase were restricted.
To buy more advanced items, he needed to reach Tier 3, but he had just broken through to Tier 2 recently.
"I can use this to buy Spirit Soothing Pills to speed up my cultivation as well."
Without the Spirit Soothing Pills to replenish his psychic energy, he would need 15 days to fully cultivate the Crystal Shattering Technique.
With this 500,000 yuan, he could purchase 50 bottles, and with 15 basic Spirit Soothing Pills to replenish psychic energy, he could make up for 33 instances of psychic energy, which equated to absorbing an additional 650,000 primordial energy points.
What did this mean? At his current rate of refining 43,000 primordial energy points per day, it would take 15 days to refine 650,000 primordial energy points, which was the requirement to break through to Fifth Rank.
But with this 500,000 yuan, it meant halving that time! As for the refining time, it wasn't a significant issue, because after reaching the Great Success of Crystal Shattering Technique, he could refine 64 primordial energy points per minute.
The total required 650,000 primordial energy points could be achieved in 11 or 12 days, which was acceptable.
After that, he could cultivate other Secret Arts at a faster pace to reach Sixth or Seventh Rank.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng took the five stacks of bills from the safe and placed them in his pockets.
Just then, Liu Yun suddenly sprinted towards the outside.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The woman was shot in the leg and fell to the ground.
"Don't kill me, I won't dare again, I promise!"
Liu Yun covered her leg, tears streaming down her face from the pain.
Jiang Cheng found this amusing rather than angering.
A normal person dared to challenge the reaction speed of a Fourth Rank Force Knight.
"How did you deliver the money before?"
"I, I delivered it to the Gale Martial Arts Academy."
Liu Yun said through the pain.
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
This was a bit tricky.
With his current strength, going to the Gale Martial Arts Academy was akin to seeking death.
But the mission objective was to kill the Force Knight within the Gale Martial Arts Academy.
According to Bing Li, each person only had one chance to fail a mission, and any spoils obtained during the failed mission had to be handed over.
Moreover, they probably couldn't stay here for long, as the woman's cries might have alerted someone to call the police.
"Perhaps, this can be used to our advantage."
Jiang Cheng's mind flashed with an idea, and he shot the woman on the ground.
