Chapter 30 Unexpected Joy (Seeking Follow-up Reads and Tickets)!
As the large group of people gathered, the matter escalated under Wang Yu's nonsensical ramblings.
But he wasn't flustered. With profit in sight, as long as he gave these "hyenas" an excuse, they'd bleed him dry even if they didn't kill him.
Ideally, Steward Xu handling this matter would have been best, but after unexpectedly discovering the connection between Su Qing Shan and the Xu Residence, he was left with only this path.
Demonic Path, Demonic Path!
The longer Wang Yu stayed, the more at ease he felt, like a fish in water!
The Law Enforcement Hall dispatched hundreds of elites. There weren't many people out at night to begin with, and seeing this formation array, they wished they could dig three feet into the ground to bury their heads, not daring to look even once.
On the way, Zhuo Shouqing said to Wang Yu,
"You said you signed Unfair Contract Terms, where is the Contract? Let this lord take a look."
"It's here—"
Wang Yu handed over his copy. After Zhuo Shouqing read it, he said in surprise, "Such generous conditions, and you call it Unfair Contract Terms? Are you trying to deceive this lord!"
"I wouldn't dare, Lord Zhuo. Think carefully, does our Reverse Spirit Blood Sect have Contracts like this? It's all a facade; otherwise, this disciple wouldn't have been deceived and fallen for it."
Zhuo Shouqing frowned and pondered. That made sense!
Moreover, the term was only one year. Combined with Wang Yu's previous statement, it gave him the impression of being squeezed to death within a year, and the explicit lack of any cultivation support in black and white reinforced this purpose!
Like a consumable item.
"Very good, very good. To dare to do such outrageous things in Evil God Market under this lord's jurisdiction, Confiscate Assets! We must Confiscate Assets!
"Wang Yu, is it? Rest assured, you and your brothers will receive the fairest treatment and feel the Sect's warmth."
Wang Yu's eyes darkened. His empty sleeve was indeed warm enough. He continued to flatter Zhuo Shouqing, making him feel comfortable all over.
Soon, the Xu Family Pill Shop came into view.
"Surround it!"
Zhuo Shouqing waved his hand, and the Law Enforcement Hall Cultivators stepped forward one after another, surrounding the entire Pill Shop until it was watertight. Wang Yu's eyes darted around, and he took the initiative to step forward and shout loudly,
"People inside, listen up! You've been exposed.
"Hand over all Public Assets obtained through exploitation and embezzlement, or you will be subjected to Soul Extraction and Spirit Refinement, forever transformed into petty ghosts, unable to enter Reincarnation, never to achieve Transcendence!"
After a round of roaring, Wang Yu ran back to Zhuo Shouqing's side and said flatteringly,
"Lord, please."
"Yo—
"Not bad."
Zhuo Shouqing was very satisfied with Wang Yu's behavior, feeling a sense of comfortable contentment. He coughed lightly, and his Foundation Establishment Aura was released, enveloping the entire Xu Family Pill Shop.
Inside.
Elder Zhu, who was staying up late on the third floor doing accounts, sighed deeply and looked at his grandson, Young Master Zhu, who was trembling, and said helplessly,
"Things have come to this, we can only negotiate. I hope we can leave you a way out."
"Grandpa, I don't want to die! Grandson doesn't want to die!"
Young Master Zhu, wearing white cloth pajamas, scrambled and crawled to hug his grandfather's leg, weeping uncontrollably. He had been planning to leave the Sect to avoid trouble in a few days, but who would have thought that things would happen so quickly, so suddenly, without any reaction time at all.
"Xiao Sun, let go."
Looking at his grandfather's firm gaze, Young Master Zhu lowered his head and followed Elder Zhu out of the Xu Family Pill Shop. Outside, soldiers stood with weapons at the ready, their demeanor stern.
The solemn atmosphere instantly crushed Young Master Zhu's Emotion. He collapsed and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Zhuo Shouqing repeatedly.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me…
"It was all him, done by my grandfather, it has nothing to do with me."
"Sigh—"
Elder Zhu looked at his grandson's behavior and was deeply disappointed. He took out ten Storage Bags from his chest, handing them all to Zhuo Shouqing in silence.
The night was dark and the wind was high. Wang Yu hid in the shadows, and with the Night Concealment Spell concealing him, they didn't notice him.
Zhuo Shouqing, however, was bewildered. They surrendered so easily? In previous Confiscate Assets operations, the worst-case scenario was a fight to the death, but he had never seen such obedience.
It was indeed strange.
Divine Sense probed the Spirit Stones in the Storage Bags. There were a total of ninety-six thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which could be converted to nine thousand six hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, a very substantial sum for him.
The exchange rate between Spirit Stones had always been relatively stable.
The difference between Low-Grade and Mid-Grade was tenfold, and the difference between Mid-Grade and High-Grade was a hundredfold. As for Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, they were treasures in themselves and not treated as regular Currency.
Therefore, the exchange ratio was 1000:100:1, with only three conversion ratios.
Elder Zhu was about to speak and take all the blame when he heard Zhuo Shouqing say, "Just this little? Are you trying to send away beggars? I heard you embezzled three hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
Elder Zhu's knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, no longer as nonchalant as before, his lips trembling.
"H-how… how much?"
"Heh."
Zhuo Shouqing laughed. He liked tough nuts. He raised his chin, and his subordinates surged into the Xu Family Pill Shop like fish, taking away everything they could carry, and then pasted Sealing Strips on the Doorway.
He ordered a team to escort Grandfather and Grandson Zhu back to the Hall of Law Enforcement.
Turning around, he threw a stack of Contracts into Wang Yu's arms. Inside were not only his three Contracts but also those of Zhou Tao and the others. Wang Yu's eyes lit up, not expecting this additional benefit.
"Tonight's matter has nothing to do with you.
"The Foundation Establishment cultivator behind the Xu Family Pill Shop will be dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall. You and your brothers should be honest. Are you willing to follow me in the future?"
Wang Yu quickly cupped his fists and responded,
"This subordinate will spare no effort and die for you, Lord Zhuo."
"You have a sweet tongue. Here, a reward for you."
Wang Yu's eyes blurred, and a small Storage Bag fell into his hand. Inside, there were not only a thousand Spirit Stones but also a set of Law Enforcement Hall disciple clothing and a Token.
This was truly an unexpected joy!
Zhuo Shouqing left after speaking, without mentioning when he should report to the Law Enforcement Hall. Wang Yu faintly had a guess in his heart.
Zhuo Shouqing saw through the problem tonight, but he didn't say anything, instead praising him greatly. He was letting him lie dormant in various Shops as an Informant…
"This is also good."
After working hard for half the night, Wang Yu leisurely returned to his residence to sleep soundly. With his Cultivation Level, two hours of sleep was enough.
Early the next morning, he came to the Xu Family Pill Shop.
He had originally come to wait for Zhou Tao and the other three, but unexpectedly, they arrived even earlier than Wang Yu. After a little thought, he understood.
The reward Elder Zhu gave was abnormally high. Two hundred a month? Who would dare to imagine it? Only Wang Yu, who didn't know the market price before, thought it was too little.
With such a high-paying job, they wanted to work hard and not be fired, so they naturally arrived earlier than each other, you could say they were getting competitive.
"Hey, over here."
Zhou Tao, Huang Kai, and Luo Pinghu were still wondering what the Sealing Strips on the Pill Shop Doorway were about when they heard Wang Yu's call and immediately came over.
Zhou Tao had the highest Cultivation Level, Qi Condensation Eighth Layer, and was even more skilled in Pill Refining Art. They had met once yesterday, and at this moment, he seemed to be the leader among the three, so he spoke,
"Pill Master Wang, did you call us because you know about the Xu Family Pill Shop?"
"It's a long story—"
Wang Yu shook his head and sighed, pointing to a Shop nearby and said, "Why don't we talk while eating? You all haven't had Breakfast yet, right?"
"Alright—"
