Chapter 9: Did they kill him and then feed him to the dogs?
In the VIP room, Gu Ni sat in a chair, still holding the Qi-restoring pill in his hands.
Gu Ni's fingers trembled slightly. It was a Grade 3 Qi-restoring pill, of superior quality, made with skillful techniques. The pill had a smooth, round surface and a rich, pure medicinal aroma.
Even renowned third-grade alchemists would find it difficult to refine such pills.
"Master Gu Ni, are you sure this is of top quality?" Ya Fei asked.
Gu Ni raised his head and looked at Ya Fei.
"I've been refining pills for over twenty years, so I have a good eye for them," Gu Ni said. "This Qi-restoring pill is not only of superior quality, but the person who refined it has alchemy skills far above the third rank."
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei gasped.
Gu Ni is a second-grade alchemist, already one of the top in Wutan City. But Gu Ni said that Xiao Chen's alchemy skills are far above the third grade, and are very likely to be the fourth grade.
"Ya Fei, we absolutely cannot offend Xiao Chen," Gu Ni said.
Ya Fei nodded.
"Not only should we not offend him, we should also befriend him," Gu Ni said. "A fifteen or sixteen-year-old third-grade alchemist has limitless potential for future achievements."
"I understand," Ya Fei said.
Ya Fei stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
"I'll have someone report this to the family right away." Ya Fei turned around. "A third-grade alchemist in his teens, and possibly even a Dou Wang level expert, the family will definitely take this seriously."
Gu Ni nodded. "The sooner the better."
Yafei walked to the table, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter.
Consort Ya recorded Xiao Chen's situation in detail in the letter.
He is fifteen or sixteen years old, with strength suspected to be that of a Dou Wang level expert. His alchemy skills are at least grade three. He once hunted a fifth-order magical beast, the Black Scale Python, and obtained a fifth-order magical core. He has also refined a grade three Qi-restoring pill of superior quality.
Ya Fei put the letter into an envelope and sealed it.
"Someone come here," Ya Fei said.
A maid pushed open the door and came in.
"Miss Yafei, what are your orders?"
"Send this letter back to the Holy City of Gama and personally deliver it to the clan chief," Ya Fei said.
The maid took the letter, bowed, and said, "This servant understands."
After saying that, the maid turned and left the VIP room.
Yafei walked back to her chair and sat down, looking at Gu Ni.
"Master Gu Ni, what do you think Xiao Chen's background is?" Ya Fei asked.
Gu Ni shook his head. "It's hard to say."
"The Xiao family is a small family in Wutan City; they couldn't possibly have raised someone like this," Ya Fei said.
"So Xiao Chen must have someone behind him," Gu Ni said.
"A master who is at least at the Dou Wang level," Ya Fei said.
Gu Ni nodded.
"We, the Mittel family, must befriend someone like that," Yafei said.
Xiao Chen left the Mittel Auction House and walked back to the Xiao family home.
The streets were bustling with people, but Xiao Chen ignored the people around him and walked straight ahead.
Xiao Chen didn't walk fast, but every step he took was steady.
After turning the corner, the road back to the Xiao family's house is just ahead.
As soon as Xiao Chen turned the corner, he saw a group of people walking towards him.
The leader was a young man dressed in fine clothes, followed by several burly men who looked like mercenaries.
The young man stopped when he saw Xiao Chen.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Chen, the good-for-nothing from the Xiao family?" Galeo said.
Xiao Chen glanced at Galeo, but ignored him and continued walking forward.
When Galeo saw that Xiao Chen ignored him, his face darkened.
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?" Galeo raised his voice.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at Galeo.
"What's up?"
"I heard you went to the Mittel auction house yesterday?" Galeo asked. "What were you doing there?"
Xiao Chen said calmly, "It's none of your business."
Upon hearing this, Galeo's expression turned even more unpleasant.
"Xiao Chen, you're just a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, how dare you talk to me like that?" Galeo roared angrily.
Xiao Chen looked at Galeo, his face expressionless.
"I think you're tired of living," Galeo said. "Do you know who I am?"
"Galeio," Xiao Chen said.
"Good that you know," Galeo said. "Now that you know who I am, why don't you kneel down before me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly. Kneel down?
"What did you say?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I told you to kneel down," Galeo said. "Can't you understand human language?"
Xiao Chen looked at Galeo, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"What if I don't kneel?"
Galeo paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"You won't kneel?" Galeo said. "Then I'll beat you until you kneel."
The mercenaries behind Galeo also laughed.
"Young master, this good-for-nothing doesn't know what's good for him. Let us teach him a lesson," a mercenary said.
Galeo nodded. "Don't kill him, just leave him with a breath left."
Several mercenaries surrounded Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at them and sighed.
"I didn't want to cause trouble," Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Galeo asked.
Xiao Chen did not answer.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and casually waved it. A burst of battle qi erupted from his palm and blasted towards the mercenaries.
Bang bang bang!
Several muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, and the bodies of the mercenaries flew backward, landing motionless on the ground.
Galeo was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
Galeo's mercenaries are all powerful warriors at the Battle Master level, so how come they couldn't even withstand a single move?
"You...you..." Galeo pointed at Xiao Chen, his voice trembling.
Xiao Chen looked at Galeo and walked towards him step by step.
Galeo took a step back, his face pale.
"Don't come any closer!" Galeo shouted. "Do you know who I am? I'm the young master of the Galeo family! If you dare touch me, my father won't let you get away with it!"
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at Galeo.
"The Jia Lie family?" Xiao Chen said indifferently, "So what?"
Galeo was stunned; he hadn't expected that Xiao Chen wasn't even afraid of the Galeo family.
"What...what do you want?" Galeo's voice trembled.
Xiao Chen did not answer.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and struck out with his palm. This strike was simple and straightforward, without any fancy moves.
Galleo simply couldn't dodge it.
boom!
Galeo's body flew backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Galeo lay on the ground, looking at Xiao Chen with fear in his eyes.
"You...you dare kill me?" Galeo said. "My father won't let you get away with this...the Galeo family won't let you get away with this..."
Xiao Chen walked up to Galeo and looked down at him.
"Are you done talking?"
Galeo's lips were trembling, and he couldn't utter a single word.
"Now that you've said your piece, go die."
Xiao Chen raised his foot and stomped down.
Click.
Galeo's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.
Galeo's head lolled to the side, and he died.
Xiao Chen withdrew his foot and glanced down at Galeo's corpse.
A mere trash at the Fighter level dares to swagger in front of him; he's truly courting death.
Xiao Chen raised his foot and kicked Galeo's corpse to the side of the road.
Several stray dogs were foraging by the roadside when they saw the corpse flying towards them, and they immediately pounced on it.
Xiao Chen glanced at it, then turned and left.
The mercenaries who had been knocked unconscious by Xiao Chen didn't wake up for a while.
They got up and saw that Galeo's body had been gnawed beyond recognition by wild dogs; their faces turned deathly pale.
"Young Master...Young Master is dead..."
"Quickly...quickly go back and report to the clan chief..."
The mercenaries scrambled away.
In the VIP room of the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei and Gu Ni were still discussing Xiao Chen's matter.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in," Ya Fei said.
A maid pushed open the door and walked in, her face showing some panic.
"Miss Yafei, something has happened," the maid said.
"What is it?" Ya Fei asked.
"Young Master Xiao Chen just killed Jia Lie'ao, the young master of the Jia Lie family, on the street," the maid said.
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei suddenly stood up.
"What did you say?"
"Young Master Xiao Chen killed Galeo," the maid repeated, "and... he even kicked Galeo's corpse to the roadside to feed the dogs."
Ya Fei gasped.
Xiao Chen killed Galeo and even fed his corpse to the dogs. He's incredibly audacious.
Although the Galley family is not as prominent as the Mittel family, they are still a well-known family in Utan City.
Galeo was the only son of the Galeo family, and the head of the Galeo family, Galeobi, only had this one son.
Now that his son has been murdered and fed to dogs, how could Galebi possibly let this go?
"Do the Jia Lie family know?" Ya Fei asked.
"Understood," the maid said. "Galeo's mercenaries have already gone back to report."
Ya Fei sat back down in her chair and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Chen dared to kill Jia Lie'ao, which shows that he is not afraid of the Jia Lie family at all.
A person who is not afraid of the Jia Lie family is either a madman or has enough strength.
Xiao Chen is clearly not crazy, so he must have enough strength.
Only a Dou Wang level expert would dare to kill indiscriminately in Wutan City.
"Ya Fei, this Xiao Chen is even more cunning than we imagined," Gu Ni said.
Ya Fei nodded.
"They killed Galeo and then dared to feed his corpse to the dogs," Gu Ni said. "That kind of audacity is not something an ordinary person can have."
"Xiao Chen is not afraid of retaliation from the Jia Lie family at all," Ya Fei said.
"With Xiao Chen's strength, the Jia Lie family really can't do anything to him," Gu Ni said.
Ya Fei remained silent for a moment.
"Master Gu Ni, what do you think the Jia Lie family will do?" Ya Fei asked.
"Galebi only has one son, he definitely won't let this go," Gu Ni said. "Galebi will definitely seek revenge on Xiao Chen."
