“Is that true?”
“Do you have proof?”
The two men questioned him repeatedly.
Yin Yang shook the golden casket in his hand.
“Isn't this proof enough? I saw that man kill Qi Xing with my own eyes, take the goldfish, and carry off his body.”
“Speak! Who was it?”
“Did you note his features? Can you draw him?”
The two continued to press him, but Yin Yang was no longer in a hurry. He casually put the golden casket away.
“One hundred thousand. No haggling.”
“For the Qi family, this price should be considered a fire sale.”
The two men exchanged glances before one of them spoke.
“If you come back to the Qi family with us and explain everything clearly, we can give you two hundred thousand!”
Yin Yang sneered.
“We're all adults here; let's not talk in our sleep. If you want the news, transfer the money now.”
“And if you want this golden casket too, it’ll cost extra.”
The two men looked at each other again, then gritted their teeth.
“One hundred and ten thousand! For the information and the casket!”
“One hundred and thirty thousand. Final price.”
“Deal! But you should know this is Wang City. If the information is false, you know the consequences.”
Deep underground like this, transactions naturally couldn't be done via phone transfer.
At times like this, a special currency was required.
Gold notes!
This was a universal currency, said to be accepted in countries outside the Great Wei as well.
Each gold note could be exchanged for roughly ten thousand worth of gold.
Many transcendents used these gold notes directly for their transactions.
After all, the items transcendents bought were often very expensive. Furthermore, bank transfers could easily expose personal information, making them far less secure than gold notes.
The man counted out thirteen gold notes for Yin Yang. After Yin Yang carefully inspected them, he finally handed over the golden casket.
“Who killed Qi Xing?”
The man asked impatiently. Yin Yang didn't waste any words, pulling a piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to them.
“It was raining heavily that day, so I couldn't see very clearly. However, I drew the tattoo on his neck.”
The man took it and looked. On the paper was a drawing of a black lotus!
“Is this... the Shadow Lotus Church?”
He suddenly looked up at Yin Yang.
“Why would the Shadow Lotus Church kill Qi Xing?”
“How should I know? But it seemed like Qi Xing made the first move. That day, I saw a goldfish flying through the sky and followed it out of curiosity.”
“Just as I got close, I saw a man in black strike the goldfish down, kill Qi Xing, and take his body.”
“This golden casket was dropped by that man when he was dragging the corpse away.”
Yin Yang finished speaking and pocketed the gold notes.
“The deal is done. Goodbye.”
One of the men instinctively stepped forward to block him.
Currently, Yin Yang was the only witness. How could he just watch Yin Yang walk away?
But as soon as he approached, a cold gun barrel pressed against his forehead.
Yin Yang’s eyes were ice-cold.
“What? Thinking of robbing me?”
The man immediately raised his hands, while the other stepped back slightly, adjusting his stance.
“Heh.”
Yin Yang gave a dismissive laugh, opened the private room door, and left with flair.
By the time the two chased after him, Yin Yang was nowhere to be found.
“Mr. Ye, we need to know where that man went.”
The man who had been looking for the young girls spoke with some urgency, but Ye Muchun still wore his amiable, business-as-usual expression.
“I'm sorry, but that's against the rules.”
“Mr. Ye! You should know who we are. That man is very important to our Qi family. We even suspect he might be the killer!”
Ye Muchun still wore his trademark smile.
“My apologies, but it is against the rules.”
“Ye—”
“I said, it is against the rules!”
Ye Muchun’s voice was clearly impatient. Seeing this, the two had no choice but to give up and sprint toward the exit.
But by the time they got outside, Yin Yang had long since vanished.
...
The Qi family residence.
“Ye Muchun?”
Qi Hai was gently toyed with the golden casket in his hand.
The two men who had bought the information stood stiffly, not daring to look up.
“Hoo~”
“He said the Shadow Lotus Church did it?”
“Yes.”
Qi Hai’s palm slowly exerted pressure, causing the golden casket to deform slightly.
“You spent one hundred and thirty thousand on a piece of information that might not even be true? And this single golden casket is supposed to prove everything he said was real?”
“What if he was an accomplice to the killer? Or rather, what if he is the killer?”
Qi Hai’s voice was extremely suppressed, like a volcano on the verge of eruption!
The two men grew even more terrified. The one who had gone to gather the information quickly explained.
“We thought so too, but by the time we chased him out, he was gone.”
“That is Mr. Ye’s territory, after all. Since he wouldn't give us face, there was nothing we could do.”
“Heh.”
Qi Hai let out a cold laugh, but then he felt the golden casket in his hand growing hotter and hotter.
“Hmm?”
He looked at the golden casket in surprise.
The casket had been crushed out of shape by him, but now streaks of red light were flowing across its surface.
What's going on?
Is Old Fourth's golden casket also a transcendent item?
Before he could figure it out, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside!
Qi Hai was furious, but when he saw who it was, he didn't dare utter a sound.
Because the newcomer was the current head of the Qi family, his father, Qi Xiangyang!
“Dad, what are you doing here?”
The elderly Qi Xiangyang ignored him, his eyes seemingly fixed on the golden casket.
“Divinity... Why is there divinity here? Who brought this?”
“This attribute... I can barely use it myself. Where did this divinity come from?”
Only then did Qi Xiangyang look at his eldest son. Qi Hai stood with his hands at his sides.
“Father, this is Fourth Brother's golden casket. It was used to seal the Qi-Eating Fish.”
“Give it to me!”
Qi Xiangyang reached out to grab it, his expression like a starving wolf seeing a piece of fat meat.
Swoosh!!!
The moment his palm touched the golden casket, the red light on it shot up toward the sky!
Qi Hai, standing close by, felt as if countless hands were tearing at his internal organs, as if trying to rip his intestines out!
“Hmph!”
Qi Xiangyang let out a cold snort and reached toward the ceiling with his right hand!
The red light was immediately sucked toward his palm bit by bit.
But just as he was about to seize it, the red light exploded!
Boom!!!
A shockwave was generated out of thin air, shattering all the surrounding glass!
The red light spread rapidly, illuminating the entire Qi family estate as bright as day.
Qi Xiangyang’s expression changed drastically.
“Not good!”
...
East District.
Security Bureau.
“Hmm?”
The Chief of the Wang City Security Bureau suddenly looked up, his expression one of great surprise.
“Divinity?”
His expression was complex, a mix of greed and confusion.
To dare release the aura of such a thing... If those at Sequence 6 found out, would it even be okay?
Wait!
With such a large commotion, how could those Sequence 6s not know?
The Bureau Chief stood up instantly, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
...
West District.
Liang Family Shoe Repair Shop.
An old man who was repairing a high-heeled shoe slowly looked up toward the Qi family's direction, his grin widening.
“Heh heh heh, is this an invitation?”
...
East District.
The mortuary.
Creak.
A coffin was pushed open from the inside, and an old man with barely any hair left slowly raised his head.
“I knew Qi Xiangyang would find divinity.”
...
West District.
Leisurely Bookstore.
Yin Yang slowly took a sip of coffee, a very relaxed expression on his face.
