Chapter 31 Blind to Truth
Everyone immediately turned to look and found that Dong Guanfei had just released the first corpse and was now groping the second one.
Throughout the entire process, he appeared slow and methodical, showing absolutely no sign of the urgency he felt in committing murder and robbery.
It was as if he wasn't profiting from the dead, but rather helping a friend pack up their belongings.
The three silver members and eleven guards, standing five or six meters away, stared blankly, like clay or wooden puppets.
nervous?
They couldn't see that in Dong Guanfei at all; instead, they saw "calmness" when they looked at him from the side and "relaxation" when they looked at him from the side.
The key issue is that Dong Guanfei looks far too young and handsome, making the scene seem extremely incongruous.
The problem is that he is only in the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, and normally even the lowest-level protective magic artifact is not easy to activate in time.
How could he defend himself if the guards suddenly opened fire all at once?
Moreover, Wang Anyue was only about seven or eight meters away from him at this moment, which was within reach of a True Qi Master in an instant.
What gives him the right to be so composed?
Now Zhao Guanghua no longer thinks Dong Guanfei is a naive fool or that he's being arrogant.
Even so, he was still a hothead who could kill three silver-level experts in an instant.
Zhang Fubao was filled with remorse.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Why not let Wang Anyue test this guy first?
If this guy is really as strong as Wang Anyue said, he'll be in big trouble.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the True Strength or late-stage Transcendent Realm cultivators seem to be only one step away from the True Qi Realm. In reality, that step is an insurmountable obstacle for more than 90% of cultivators.
Moreover, this "Ruthless" is so young yet possesses strength comparable to a master of the True Qi Realm, so he must be cultivating a top-tier secret technique, and his background must be extremely powerful.
Zhang Fubao once again deeply felt how pale gold and silver were in the face of talent and martial prowess.
If he were talented enough, he wouldn't need to work so hard outside.
Zhang Wanxin's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but gently lick her red lips.
Because she had the privilege of witnessing an earth-shattering duel between top masters when she was young, she aspired to become a true strong person from an early age, and therefore had an extreme admiration and fascination for strong people.
But true strongmen are often old men or gloomy middle-aged men, so she wouldn't have any other extra thoughts.
This "ruthlessness" is completely different.
It's a pity I didn't get to witness "Ruthless" unleash its full power.
However, Captain Wang would never boost the morale of others while diminishing his own, so he was indeed unsure and worried that rashly attacking "Ruthless" would endanger Zhao Guanghua and his sister Zhao Huibao.
Just then, they noticed that "Ruthless" looked up at them.
Suddenly, everyone felt a "ruthless" gaze fixed on them, and they were all startled, no longer doubting Wang Anyue's assessment.
Logically speaking, a cultivator in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm should be unable to see through or hear the protective circle of the True Qi Secret Technique.
The key point is that there was no flash of spiritual light when any magical artifact was activated, which shows that "Ruthless" can do this on its own.
In the spiritual realm, seeing means touching.
Zhao Guanghua and Zhang Fubao couldn't help but exchange a glance.
They all recalled yesterday's seemingly arrogant and boastful negotiation of the gold-level mission.
Now it seems that this guy wasn't just talking nonsense!
That wouldn't be "heartless" boasting, but rather them being blind and unable to recognize the true Buddha.
Zhang Fubao was filled with deep regret.
When did such a remarkable young man arrive in this concession?
How come he's never heard of this before?
If you're so awesome, why didn't you say so earlier!
No, that's not right, this guy did say it.
But... you, a guy whose combat strength has reached the True Qi level, are taking on such a common Silver-level mission.
Isn't this just deliberately messing with people?
Dong Guanfei nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then smiled faintly at Zhao Huibao before continuing to collect valuable items.
Anyone who has played games knows that the most important thing after defeating monsters is to get gold coins.
The people inside the protective aura circle looked at each other in bewilderment.
It's confirmed, this guy really can see right through it.
The next moment, Zhao Huibao spoke first: "I don't care. 'Ruthless' just told me that this is his first time carrying out a mission for the Shadow Alliance. He won't allow the mission to fail and will definitely protect me for six days."
"Also, he said he wasn't the one who started this trouble."
Zhao Guanghua couldn't help but exchange another glance with Zhang Fubao.
It turns out that "Ruthless" was on his first mission, which explains it.
So this might actually be a membership recruitment task.
Damn it, this is really bad of the Shadow Alliance Club; they never tell their guests that the people they send out are on induction missions.
But thinking about it, it's understandable; after all, nobody wants an "intern."
If "Ruthless" was merely an ordinary, low-level gunman who killed Sun Youwei through a sneak attack, then he was indeed extremely wicked.
However, if "Ruthless" is a master comparable to the True Qi Realm and has an extraordinary background, then his ruthless actions become understandable, because the strong will not tolerate the weak being offended.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Guanghua stated his position clearly:
"Brother, Manager Sun may have been a little too excited, which led to the misunderstanding."
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. Take one thousand silver dollars from my account and give them to Manager Sun's family."
"Bao'er, go and tell Mr. Li that we'll let this matter go and not pursue it any further, but he can't kill any of our people without permission again."
Zhang Fubao quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Brother, how could I let you spend so much? Please rest assured, I will make arrangements for Manager Sun's family and ensure they do not suffer poverty."
Zhao Guanghua waved his hand, "Brother, no need to say more, it's settled then." Then he turned to look at Zhao Huibao.
Zhao Huibao blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and then didn't make any demands on her older brother.
"Forget it, it's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
She immediately walked quickly towards Dong Guanfei, who had just finished and was standing up.
“‘Heartless,’ my elder brother said this was a misunderstanding. Manager Sun did not mean to offend you, but he is already dead.”
"My elder brother and Brother Zhang will not pursue this matter any further, but you must not harm others in the group without authorization in the future."
Dong Guanfei smiled, tied the two cloth bags tightly, and then slowly said, "I can leave Zhang Fubao alone during this operation, but if you really want me to let him go... five gold coins!"
Zhao Huibao involuntarily shrank slightly, her bright eyes widened, and her cherry lips parted slightly, as if she doubted that she had misheard.
Dong Guanfei smiled faintly, "What, you think you can offend me without paying any price?"
Zhao Huibao puffed out her cheeks, looking like a cute little squirrel, making you want to pinch them.
She glanced at the two bulging cloth bags in his hands. "'Heartless,' are you sure?"
"Of course, this is the current price; it won't be next time...it will at least double."
