Chapter 490: Chapter 490: It’s Impossible to Commit Suicide, I’ll Never Do It In This Lifetime! (2nd Update)
Bald Tiger got off the train feeling groggy.
It was only after he turned a street corner that he stopped.
“Boss, your hand…” one of his underlings reminded him with good intentions.
Bald Tiger flew into a rage and slapped the underling across the face.
“Scram!”
All the underlings shrank back, not daring to say a word.
Bald Tiger, trembling, fished out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, Boss!”
On the other end of the line was Bald Tiger’s boss, who was also a notorious figure in the southwestern region.
“Tiger, how did it go? Did you catch that girl? If you caught her, send her to me first! I want to have a taste.”
Bald Tiger took a deep breath, “Boss, there’s been a change of plans.”
“Hmm?”
“We got the money!”
“That’s good too! A million in hand, you did well!”
“But…” Bald Tiger licked his lips and struggled to say.
“But what?”
“But I ran into someone and was forced to write an IOU of ten million, after deducting that one million, we now owe nine million… and a thousand.”
“What? You idiotic bastard, he made you write it and you just wrote it?” the boss erupted in anger.
Bald Tiger listened quietly.
After the boss had sworn for over a minute, he took a deep breath and asked, “Damn it, who dares to mess around in the southwest region like this? Tell me, I’m going to bring my guys over and kill them now!”
“It’s the Yu Family!” Bald Tiger said with a bitter smile.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
“To be precise, the Yu Family was just assisting. The one who really made me write the IOU is someone even the Yu Family treats with respect, someone they refer to as ‘Mister’.”
No sooner had Bald Tiger finished speaking than he heard the sound of breaking glass coming from the other end of the phone, followed by the boss speaking with an unprecedented tone of panic.
“What did you say? Even the Yu Family calls him ‘Mister?’ Is this person a man of distinguished temperament?”
Bald Tiger thought for a moment, Xue An’s demeanor indeed could be considered distinguished.
“Yes!”
Again, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Bald Tiger tentatively asked, “Boss, what do we do about this? I now owe over nine million, and you…”
“Oh, Tiger!” the boss suddenly said in a cheerful tone.
“Huh? Boss, what’s up?”
“You’re really lucky. I think the thing you should do now is go to a temple and give thanks to the gods for their blessing.”
Bald Tiger’s tears started to well up, “Boss, stop mocking me, okay? I suddenly owe over nine million, and you say I’m lucky?”
“Hehe, Tiger, life is worth more than nine million! Do you know who you’ve run into? That is the being who is called invincible across the world! The fact that he didn’t kill you and only made you pay is a sign that your ancestors accumulated great virtue!”
Hearing what the boss said, Bald Tiger was somewhat dumbfounded.
“You mean, he is…”
“Yes, that’s him!”
Bald Tiger was covered in cold sweat, couldn’t even stand on his feet, and leaned against a telephone pole at the side of the road, saying in despair, “No wonder! But boss, what about the money I owe?”
“Nonsense, who dares to owe him money and not pay it back? If you really dare not to pay, there’s no need for him; the Yu Family will tear you to shreds!”
“But that’s over nine million! Boss, you can’t just leave me hanging! You…”
“Oh, Tiger, I think you’re too old for this business. Better to retire early, as for the money you owe, you can pay it off slowly, there will eventually be a day you’ve paid it all, won’t there?”
“Hello, Boss, you… fuck!” Bald Tiger wanted to say something more, but the phone had already been hung up, making him so angry that he smashed his phone to pieces.
“Someone, take me to the hospital!” His finger was hurting fiercely, Bald Tiger said with a stern face.
Having said that, the subordinates walked away without looking back.
Excitement tinted Yu Ming’s features, “Thank you for your praise, Mister.”
“You had an epiphany?”
Yu Ming nodded.
Xue An smiled, “You’re quite lucky!”
An epiphany is a chance encounter that a cultivator could only hope for but not seek.
Previously, Yu Ming’s Sword Dao was off track, but after this epiphany, he unexpectedly returned to the right path.
Even Xue An marveled at Yu Ming’s fortune.
“My Fire Phoenix has recently gained a swordsmanship expert; you two could spar when we return!”
Yu Ming’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Mister!”
For a Sword Dao master like him, the opportunity to spar with an equally matched expert was a rare find.
Xue An smiled faintly, then turned to look at Yu Ran, whose face was filled with sorrow.
“Long time no see!”
Yu Ran trembled slightly, then bowed politely, “I’ve seen the Mister!”
Since entering the train, Yu Ran had been stealthily observing Xue An and An Yan.
When she saw the two sitting together, like a pair of Immortal lovers, her last bit of hope was completely shattered.
She didn’t know what had happened just now; she had stood there dazed through it all.
Xue An nodded slightly and didn’t say much.
Yu Ming took a step forward, “Mister, since you’ve come to Lingnan, please stay at the Yu Family for a few days!”
Xue An shook his head, “No need, we’re preparing to return to Zhongdu. We wouldn’t have notified you if we hadn’t encountered this incident.”
Yu Ming wanted to say more, but seeing Xue An’s expression, he knew there was no possibility of convincing him and could only bow his head and respond,
“Understood!”
