Chapter 183: [159] Old Partner Silver Art: You Kill, I Set Fires (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and support)_2
Picking up a brand-new precious handkerchief, he wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth. Once he rose to leave, the young maids waiting at the door in two rows all bowed and respectfully saw him off.
It was only after the master of the Jiang family had left that they began to clear the remnants from the dining table.
Back in the Cultivation Room.
As soon as the door closed.
Pei Jinye began to sit in meditation and cultivate.
With a focused mind divided into three tasks, “”Twelve Lotuses””, “Four Seasons Talisman”, accompanied by “”Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns”” began to circulate.
He had devoured two Transcendents today.
His Vitality Value and Physical Strength Value, which had both already surged to 35 points, had now slid back down to 29 points.
With his current cultivation efforts.
Both values climbed once again to 30 points!
Pei Jinye could not clearly grasp how much growth was required to take down Teacher Chang.
But a bit stronger is still better.
Time flew by quickly.
Dusk fell.
The renovation of “Trend Era” was still proceeding by the book; the death of Black Shark seemed to have caused no significant uproar in the outside world.
The night wind swept the withered yellow leaves across the streets.
Suddenly, a figure burst into the still unfinished bar.
A middle-aged man looked up in astonishment: “Sorry, our store is not—”
“Black Shark?”
That one sentence made the middle-aged man’s body go rigid.
The next moment, even before he could get a clear look at the person’s face, a whirl of a black trench coat was all he saw before he had a chance to react.
The visitor had already grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.
“You’re not Black Shark!”
“You… who are you?” The middle-aged man, who looked just like Black Shark, was now beet red and struggling violently, pounding furiously on the arms of his captor.
What terrified him was.
He felt as if he were hitting a steel plate. He didn’t know if it hurt the other party, but he knew his own hands were painfully throbbing.
Pei Jinye held the man by the neck in one hand, suspended in mid-air, and his other hand seemed ready to grab the man’s face.
Suddenly!
Spikes of earth shot up from the side, nothing lethal, merely attempting to force Pei Jinye to release the “Black Shark” in his grasp.
Regrettably, the attacker had not anticipated that Pei Jinye would simply lift his foot and instantaneously kick and shatter the earthy spikes before him.
He turned his head.
A young girl at the door indeed showed a surprised expression.
“So strong!”
Pei Jinye also withdrew his killing intent after seeing her.
According to what the Faceless Elder said before, since their last joint operation, this old man has been trying to find him.
Although Pei Jinye didn’t know when exactly they started tracking him.
But without a doubt, the girl named Hong Luo showing up here meant that Silver Art might also be nearby.
Indeed!
The next second, another figure burst in from outside the door.
Before Hong Luo could act, the person who rushed in hugged her arm and pulled her outside: “Don’t do it, don’t do it, we’re all friends here.”
“Friends?”
“Friends?”
Hong Luo was surprised.
Even the man pretending to be Black Shark was taken aback.
“Demon King?” Silver Art carefully looked at Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye casually threw the “Black Shark” in his hand to the ground.
He turned to look.
“I figured you guys would be here.”
Silver Art immediately praised exaggeratedly, “Wow, Big Brother Demon King, you’re so awesome. You even guessed this.”
Coming from Silver Art’s mouth, that was sincerely meant.
Pei Jinye’s gaze remained unchanged: “Where’s the Elder? I want to see him.”
Hong Luo squinted her eyes, showing a sweet smile: “So, this big brother is the Demon King, huh? To escape from that encirclement before, you’re really not ordinary.”
She couldn’t help but glance at the shattered stones on the ground, her eyelids twitching.
If that strength kicked a Physical Body, would it tear off a chunk of flesh?
With that thought… she instinctively placed her hand in front of her.
Pei Jinye:
Silver Art:
However, it was the man pretending to be Black Shark who couldn’t help but say, “Um… Big Brother Demon King, how did you find us?”
“I have my own methods,” Pei Jinye said indifferently, pointing to the decoration overhead: “Isn’t this the same style as the previous Red Rose’s decor?”
The man had a sudden realization: “That idiot Black Shark, no wonder he kicked the bucket. Chaotically!”
“Black Shark’s dead?” Pei Jinye looked genuinely surprised.
Silver Art moved next to him naturally, “Yes, just last night. He didn’t inform us of his hiding place. It was only after we realized we couldn’t contact him that we found out he had been taken out.”
“So this place… got exposed?” Pei Jinye, with that ghastly face, looked clear-eyed, making others think he knew nothing.
“We thought so at first, but it turned out that no suspicious individuals had shown up here,” Hong Luo approached, extended her hand, and the shattered stones in front of her were drawn back together by her extraordinary power.
Silver Art looked on, astounded: “Red Red, if you did renovations, you’d definitely make good money.”
Hong Luo couldn’t be bothered with her and turned to Pei Jinye, “Don’t worry, the bar’s ownership has been legally transferred back to us. But you’re right about the decor; looks like we’ll need to redecorate.”
“Where’s the money for that?” the guy pretending to be Black Shark said gloomily: “The money was all managed by Black Shark before, and now that his stash is gone, are we supposed to renovate ourselves?”
“That’s possible too. I can be a diligent Painter.” Silver Art immediately raised her hand, seemingly eager to try.
