Chapter 39 Silver

In the night, Xu Jingming carried the silver package with one hand. Despite his rapid movements, the silver inside made no sound. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and the girl Ziteng, even with one of them seriously injured, moved like ghosts, silently returning to the Chang family's mansion.

Tonight, the Qingyu girl was guarding the side door of the Chang family's mansion.

After a light knock, Qingyu girl immediately opened the side door, and the three of Xu Jingming quickly entered.

"How was it?" Qingyu girl asked.

"Dong Xiao is dead." Xu Jingming, the leader, said. Mr. Lu and the girl Ziteng both nodded.

Qingyu showed a joyful expression. Her eyes swept over Mr. Lu, noticing that the clothes around his waist and abdomen were torn, and were now simply bandaged.

"Mr. Lu is injured?" Qingyu girl asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. With more meat, I can recover eighty percent of my strength tomorrow, and be completely healed in three to five days," Mr. Lu said. Having reached cellular control, he could efficiently absorb nutrients when eating, and maximize the healing of 'wounds'.

Qingyu girl nodded, "I've already prepared food for the three of you. I'll bring it right away."

"Bring it to my room," Mr. Lu said.

"Okay."

Qingyu girl nodded.

Xu Jingming and the others went to Mr. Lu's room, all of them quite excited.

"Come, come, come." Xu Jingming placed the silver package on the ground and opened it, revealing twenty silver ingots. The silver gleam gladdened their hearts. They wouldn't care about silver in the real world, but in the Blood Rain World, 'gold and silver' were related to sacrifices and opportunities in the mysterious land, making them extremely valuable.

"Two hundred taels of silver," girl Ziteng said with a smile. "We'll split it equally, is that okay?"

"No problem," Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu nodded.

"Alright, let's each take six ingots first." Girl Ziteng quickly distributed them, and the three of them each took six ingots, leaving two ten-tael ingots.

"I'll do it."

Girl Ziteng instantly drew her saber. With a flash of the blade, *pu pu pu pu*! She made four cuts. The last two ingots were each cut into three pieces, all of which appeared to be roughly the same size.

"With my saber skills, these six pieces should be nearly identical. You two can choose first," girl Ziteng said.

Xu Jingming and Mr. Lu exchanged glances and each took two pieces. Girl Ziteng reached out and took the last two pieces.

Thus, the division of the money ended, and everyone was happy.

*Sreak.* The clothes that held the silver were torn in half, and Xu Jingming and girl Ziteng each wrapped their silver. As for Mr. Lu, he temporarily placed the silver in his bedding. They heard footsteps outside, and Xu Jingming got up to open the door.

"The three of you."

Young Master Chang Yi and Qingyu girl walked in together. Qingyu girl was also carrying a wooden bucket, and said with a smile, "Knowing the three of you are hungry, I've prepared more meat." She took out large plates from the wooden bucket and placed them on the dining table. The main dishes were large chunks of meat, along with some vegetables, noodles, and wine.

"Thank you, everyone," Young Master Chang Yi said with a smile. "I have already sent the 300,000 cosmic coins reward to each of your accounts."

"Thank you, Young Master Chang," the three of them said with smiles. Including the silver they had divided, they had each earned more than 900,000 cosmic coins.

Chang Yi was also very happy. He had also earned over a million, and had also intimidated the Feng Lake Hall leader.

However, this kind of thing could only be done occasionally, because if he failed, he would lose money and it would affect his reputation in the Seven Kill Tower. If he failed too many missions, his level in the Seven Kill Tower would be reduced.

Mr. Lu was already holding a leg of lamb and gnawing on it, crushing the bones and swallowing them, digesting and absorbing them as quickly as possible. Xu Jingming and girl Ziteng also ate large pieces of meat. A battle like that, with each move exploding with tens of thousands of pounds of force, consumed a lot of energy, so they naturally had to eat.

Eating meat and drinking wine, Xu Jingming and his companions chatted happily. Young Master Chang Yi and Qingyu girl only came to chat for a few words before leaving.

…

Dong Xiao's residence.

The Feng Lake Hall leader's expression was gloomy as he looked at the ruined house and the corpse of Dong Xiao placed beside it.

"Hall Leader," a white-clad youth said in a low voice, "These murderers were barbaric and domineering. They directly destroyed the inner courtyard walls and houses, and tore apart the partitions and gates of the underground passage, charging straight through. The Deputy Hall Leader couldn't escape far through the underground passage before he was killed."

"Even a group of powerful experts should have been cautious when entering the underground passage, careful of the traps and mechanisms. As long as they were delayed for a little time, the Deputy Hall Leader's strength would have been enough for him to escape. But the murderers obviously didn't slow down! How ruthless!" The white-clad youth said, his heart tightening.

The Deputy Hall Leader was a second-rate expert, and he had been killed like this.

Who in Feng Lake Hall could survive this kind of pursuit?

"They are very ruthless." The Feng Lake Hall leader was also frightened. Although his house's guards were stronger, he doubted he could withstand such a fierce pursuit.

"The Deputy Hall Leader was killed, this is a big deal, the gang leader will definitely pay attention," the white-clad youth said in a low voice.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go see the gang leader," the Feng Lake Hall leader nodded.

That night, several high-level members of the Flower Moon Gang's Feng Lake Hall didn't sleep.

…

The next morning.

The Feng Lake Hall leader had already arrived at a luxurious mansion, standing respectfully to the side. An old man with white hair was sitting there rinsing his mouth. After rinsing, he glanced at the Feng Lake Hall leader.

"Cui Xiaodao," the white-haired old man looked at him, "I heard Dong Xiao of your Feng Lake Hall is dead. What happened?"

"Yes," the Feng Lake Hall leader said respectfully, "Half a month ago, the Seven Kill Tower had a bounty mission to kill Dong Xiao. I reminded Dong Xiao at that time, but it's common for us gang members to have bounties on our heads. Dong Xiao didn't pay much attention to it, but last night several experts killed their way to Dong Xiao's residence and forcibly killed him."

"A Seven Kill Tower bounty? So it was assassins who did it," the white-haired old man nodded.

The Flower Moon Gang was, after all, a local power. They usually knew about the missions that the Seven Kill Tower posted in Lanyue City. But the Seven Kill Tower absolutely kept 'who posted the mission' a secret. The Seven Kill Tower… was one of the top three assassin organizations in the entire empire. It wasn't something a local gang dared to provoke.

If anyone dared to break the Seven Kill Tower's rules and try to find out who posted the mission, all the high-level members of the Flower Moon Gang would probably be killed the next day.

"After all, he was a brother of our gang. Arrange his funeral properly," the white-haired old man said, "Also, I've already spoken to Commander Wu! Commander Wu has agreed that you don't need to pay compensation now. But after you deal with that illegitimate child of the Chang family, you must offer fifteen hundred taels of silver as compensation."

"Understood," the Feng Lake Hall leader immediately nodded.

Commander Wu sent a centurion to demand compensation? The Feng Lake Hall leader naturally asked his gang leader to step in!

In Lanyue City, Commander Wu and the gang leaders of the three major gangs were all titans.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about Commander Wu. But you must deal with Chang Yi as soon as possible. Now everyone who is anyone in Lanyue City knows that the Flower Moon Gang's Feng Lake Hall is targeting the Chang family, so you have to do it beautifully," the white-haired old man looked at him, "If you can't do it, tell me."

"Gang Leader, rest assured, I will definitely do it beautifully," the Feng Lake Hall leader said immediately.

The white-haired old man nodded slightly, picked up the tea beside him, and lowered his head to drink.

The Feng Lake Hall leader cupped his fist and left.

…

The Feng Lake Hall leader had just returned to the entrance of his residence with his men.

"Hall Leader, a little beggar delivered a letter," a burly man said, dragging a small beggar over. The little beggar's face was dirty.

"A letter?" The Feng Lake Hall leader frowned. A glance showed him four words on the letter's surface—Death of Dong Xiao!

"Death of Dong Xiao?"

The Feng Lake Hall leader frowned, "Open it."

The burly man immediately opened the letter, took out the letter paper, and there was only one sentence on the letter paper—"Hall Leader Cui, do you want to go for mutually assured destruction? - Chang".

"Chang?"

The Feng Lake Hall leader felt a jolt.

"The murderer is Chang Yi." The Feng Lake Hall leader immediately determined. Looking at the words 'mutually assured destruction' on the letter paper, his expression became even more unsightly.
