Xu Xing, with her compassionate heart, felt a pang of guilt seeing Wang Laohu's terrified demeanor.
"Look, he's already admitted his mistake. Perhaps we should just let it go," she suggested.
Wu Tian sighed, "Being soft-hearted towards enemies is cruelty to oneself. But since you've said so, what more can I say? Let him go."
Wang Laohu quickly chimed in, "Thank you, thank you! Don't worry, I'll turn over a new leaf and never do anything like this again. I promise!"
Wu Tian had no faith in his words.
These old ruffians were the most shameless of people; believing them was as foolish as believing the sun would rise from the west.
Wu Tian couldn't stay there indefinitely. He knew that as soon as he left, Wang Laohu would surely seek revenge on Xu Xing.
In his anger, he might even do something truly despicable.
To prevent any lingering trouble, Wu Tian flicked his finger, sending a surge of spiritual energy into Wang Laohu's body.
Wang Laohu trembled, feeling a strange sensation throughout his body.
A sense of foreboding washed over him as he stammered, "You... what did you do to me?"
Wu Tian smiled, "Nothing much. I just planted a bomb inside you. If it detonates, you'll be torn to shreds instantly."
"What?" Wang Laohu's expression froze. He found it hard to believe Wu Tian, as in his understanding, no human possessed such abilities.
Wu Tian, sensing his doubt, chuckled, "Don't get any ideas. If you don't believe me, I can show you."
With that, Wu Tian gently took Xu Xing's hand.
The action startled Xu Xing, who looked at him nervously, "Brother Wu Tian, what are you doing?"
Wu Tian smiled, "Don't speak. I'm giving you something good."
He then channeled spiritual energy into Xu Xing's hand.
Soon, a ball of light appeared on her palm before vanishing.
"What is this..." Xu Xing murmured, incredulous.
Wu Tian flicked his finger again, sending spiritual energy into a nearby cup, and said to Xu Xing, "I've now planted the bomb in that cup, and I've given you the remote control."
"If you want to blow up the cup, try clenching your fist towards it."
Though Xu Xing didn't understand what Wu Tian was talking about, she obediently followed his instructions.
The moment she clenched her fist towards the cup, something unbelievable happened!
The cup instantly shattered into pieces!
"Ah!" Xu Xing cried out in shock, and Wang Laohu's heart sank.
Wu Tian looked at Wang Laohu and smiled, "Now you know its power, don't you?"
"If you dare to do anything bad to Xu Xing in the future, then you..."
Wang Laohu was so terrified he almost wet himself.
He immediately knelt before Xu Xing, his face etched with fear, "Sister Xu Xing, Sister Xu Xing, you are a magnanimous person, please don't do anything!"
"I promise I won't bother you again. Please spare my life!"
Xu Xing stared blankly at Wang Laohu, unsure of what to say.
Wu Tian then said, "If that's the case, why are you still here? Take your men and get out!"
Wang Laohu, relieved, was about to flee.
But Wu Tian stopped him, "Wait. Are you really planning to take that hundred thousand yuan with you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Laohu immediately shook his head, "No, no, I just forgot. I'll return it to you right away, right away..."
He fumbled in his pocket for a long time, and when his hand emerged, several bank cards fell to the ground.
He was about to pick them up when the cards suddenly flew into the air and landed on Wu Tian.
"What is this..." Wang Laohu didn't understand Wu Tian's intentions, and his heart skipped a beat.
Wu Tian opened his clairvoyant eyes, scanned the bank cards, and said, "Password 123456, a total of eight hundred thousand yuan, right? Alright, this money will be your compensation."
"How did you know that?!" Wang Laohu was terrified.
Wu Tian smiled, "You don't need to know how I know. You just need to know that this money is no longer yours."
Wang Laohu was naturally heartbroken.
He protested, "No, how can you do this? That's eight hundred thousand yuan! Isn't this robbery?"
Wu Tian chuckled, "Robbery? You have the nerve to call someone a robber? When you were doing your dirty deeds, did you ever think this day would come?"
"Eight hundred thousand yuan to buy back your life, it's not a bad deal, is it?"
"Of course, if you want money more than your life, there's nothing I can do, but I can accommodate that."
Wang Laohu felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
But facing Wu Tian, what choice did he have? He could only shut his mouth obediently.
He had always considered himself a villain, but after meeting Wu Tian today, he truly understood what a real villain was...
Afterward, Wang Laohu left with his subordinates.
Wu Tian handed the bank cards to Xu Xing and smiled, "Please accept these bank cards. Don't be polite."
Xu Xing's mind was still reeling.
She looked at Wu Tian, bewildered, "Brother Wu Tian, why are you being so good to me? Are you an immortal from the heavens?"
Wu Tian laughed, "Immortal? If immortals looked like me, they would have no dignity at all."
"I'm just an ordinary person, helping those in need."
"In any case, take this money first. It should help you improve your life."
"Also, you don't need to go out performing anymore. I'll find you a job."
"Don't worry, I'm the boss there. I'll make sure you're well compensated."
Xu Xing hesitated, "But... but I don't know how to do anything..."
Wu Tian smiled, "So what if you don't know? You can learn."
"With my arrangements, you won't have to worry about anything. You just need to work hard."
Xu Xing thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I think I'll have to decline. Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wu Tian, but you saw my father's condition. I can't leave him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian felt that Xu Xing was truly a filial and good girl.
He smiled and said, "It's alright. I can help resolve your father's situation as well."
