Medical and Martial God

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: They All Come Bearing Gifts

Dragon Hollyhock and Miyamoto Satoshi tensed up. They feared Yagyu Uemon would refuse.

Reorganizing the War God Ranking was far too risky.

Even though Huang Quan had sheathed his sword and retired, his lingering influence remained, and it had been less than a month since he had slaughtered everyone on the War God Ranking. Yagyu Uemon might be too scared to take the lead in reorganizing it.

”Master has agreed!” Kuroki Suzu said excitedly after hanging up the phone.

”He said he will convince the other eight snake heads of the Tiansha Association to take the lead in reorganizing the War God Ranking in the association’s name. Then, they will invite the Eight Great National Protector War Gods from Xuanse. Master said that at the latest, they will be en route to Sang Jing this afternoon.”

Yagyu Uemon was one of the nine snake heads of the Tiansha Association.

”With Huang Quan retired and Qing Luan gone, no one in Jin Ye City will be a match for Lady Kuroki Suzu. When that time comes, there will be no obstacles, whether we’re dealing with Ye Xiu or teaching the Ancient Martial Circle of Jin Ye City a lesson,” Miyamoto Satoshi said excitedly.

”Jin Ye City is about to become our home turf,” Dragon Hollyhock said, taking a deep breath with a look of pure satisfaction. ”Next, I need you to handle a few things:

”First, Ye Xiu’s enemies in Jin Ye City have all agreed to sell their companies to the Rongfu Consortium and join forces with the Yagyu family against him. You need to urge them to act as soon as possible. Although they can’t kill Ye Xiu, they can cause him a great deal of trouble.

”Second, the underground forces that accepted the 200 million bounty have most likely already infiltrated Jin Ye City or its surrounding cities. Kuroki Suzu, find a way to contact them and bring them under your command. Promise them 100 million dollars each after they kill Ye Xiu.

”Third, Miyamoto Satoshi, hold a press conference this afternoon to formally announce your challenge to the Ghost Doctor in seven days. In the meantime, you can use the people Kuroki Suzu brought to secretly eliminate the Ghost Doctor.

”Fourth, Kuroki Suzu, book the stadium’s soccer field for tomorrow. Bring a few people, set up an arena, and challenge the Ancient Martial Arts experts of Jin Ye City. It’s time to get some payback for Tengjing, Take Shitamura, and me.”

After listening, Kuroki Suzu and Miyamoto Satoshi immediately took out their phones to contact their subordinates and carry out Dragon Hollyhock’s orders.

Ye Xiu originally thought that accompanying a woman shopping would drag on for an entire day. But An Dongye was unlike other girls; she shopped with a clear goal and finished quickly and efficiently.

”Little brother, tired?” An Dongye asked, seeing Ye Xiu carrying an armful of bags.

”I’m alright,” Ye Xiu replied.

”Don’t worry, I won’t let your efforts go unrewarded,” An Dongye said, patting Ye Xiu’s shoulder. ”Come on, I’m taking you to lunch. It has to be a solid meal, on me.”

Ye Xiu laughed. ”If I’m not mistaken, after buying all this with the 500 I lent you, you only have 1.50 left, right?”

”Rest assured, I still have money!” An Dongye declared boldly.

Ye Xiu was speechless. She has money and still borrowed mine?

Thus, the two returned to Shenghe Medical College, dropped off their things, and found a barbecue restaurant near the school gate. Ye Xiu was floored. This is what she called a ’solid meal’?

Ha! Really solid, indeed.

As soon as they entered, every man in the barbecue joint turned to stare at An Dongye.

”Whoa, that beauty is tall! Definitely over one-eighty.”

”Brother Meng, isn’t that just your type? Tall and fair-skinned. I bet she’s a new student at Shenghe Medical College.”

The restaurant buzzed with conversation. Ye Xiu paid it no mind, but he noticed An Dongye looking around as if she were searching for a target.

”You find a place to sit first,” An Dongye said to Ye Xiu, then made her way toward a corner table.

Ye Xiu paused, his gaze following her to the corner table where four shirtless, heavily tattooed youths were sitting.

What is this girl up to?

Seeing An Dongye approach, the four youths were taken aback for a second before lewd smirks spread across their faces.

”Am I beautiful?” An Dongye asked with a smile as she reached their table.

”Gorgeous!” a youth with a full tattoo sleeve replied, his eyes raking over her body.

”Come with me,” An Dongye said with a beckoning finger, then turned and walked away.

The youth with the tattoo sleeve was stunned for a moment but then excitedly scrambled to follow her. As the pair headed toward the restrooms, the other patrons in the restaurant drew a sharp, collective breath.

Is that beauty really so forward? Just grabbing a random guy and heading for the restroom?

Soon, the restaurant was filled with vulgar chatter. Ye Xiu frowned, genuinely confused about what An Dongye was doing.

A moment later, An Dongye emerged from the restroom, sat down opposite Ye Xiu, and slapped a thick stack of cash on the table.

”See? I told you I had money. Eat up, and don’t hold back.”

Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched. He finally understood what had happened in the restroom with the tattooed youth.

She robbed him!

The other customers, however, were clueless. They saw the stack of money she’d slapped down—at least two thousand yuan—and a wave of whispers swept through the room.

The patrons were still gossiping when they suddenly saw the tattooed youth staggering out of the restroom, his face bruised and swollen, clutching the wall for support.

HISS!

Another collective gasp echoed through the restaurant. They suddenly realized things weren’t what they seemed.

”Brother Meng, what happened to you?” The three youths from his table rushed over to support him.

”She beat me up,” Brother Meng grunted, pointing at An Dongye.

Huh?

The expressions on the customers’ faces grew colorful.

So An Dongye lured Brother Meng to the restroom just to beat him up and rob him?

My god! This woman is fierce!

The three other youths were furious.

”She dared to hit you, Brother Meng? We’ll kill her!” the blond-haired youth roared.

Brother Meng quickly stopped him. ”You can’t beat her. Call for backup! Get as many people as you can!”

The three youths and the other customers all stared at An Dongye in shock.

Is this girl really that strong?

The three youths immediately pulled out their phones and started making calls.

Seeing that his restaurant was about to become a battlefield, the owner hurried over to Ye Xiu and An Dongye. ”Um, my humble business can’t withstand this kind of turmoil. Perhaps you two could find another place to eat?”

An Dongye waved a dismissive hand. ”Don’t worry. They’re all just coming to deliver money.”

The owner’s face instantly looked constipated. What the hell? Is she planning to rob everyone who shows up in my restaurant?

”Go on back to work,” Ye Xiu said to the owner with a smile. ”Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you don’t take a loss.”

The owner let out a bitter chuckle. How could I possibly feel assured? But seeing that Ye Xiu and An Dongye had no intention of leaving, and not daring to offend the girl, he could only brace himself and take Ye Xiu at his word.
