Medical and Martial God

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Too Scary

This was utterly terrifying!

I’m a Great Grandmaster. Kuroki Suzu just became a War God. Yagyu Uemon and the other Nine Great Serpent Heads of the Tiansha Association reached the War God Level ten, even twenty years ago. Even we couldn’t do what he just did, yet this young man in a mask did it! What does that mean? It means his strength is above the War God Level, or perhaps he’s a peak War God.

Having deduced Ye Xiu’s approximate strength, Ito Meiya was mortified. I’ve been slapped in the face. I was posturing for so long, but he’s actually stronger than me. This is so humiliating, so awkward!

”Mr. Ito, this brat dared to slap you in public! What are you waiting for? Kill him,” Xu Jinghao urged from the side.

”Shut up!” Ito Meiya roared at Xu Jinghao. ”I have no grievances with this gentleman. Why would I kill him?”

The plot took a sudden, dramatic turn. Xu Jinghao and everyone else present were stunned. Just moments ago, Ito Meiya was acting all high and mighty, threatening to kill Ye Xiu and putting on a show. Why had he changed his tune so suddenly?

”But he just slapped you twice,” Xu Jinghao reminded him.

”This gentleman was helping me swat a mosquito. He was doing it for my own good.” Ito Meiya slapped Xu Jinghao across the face before turning to Ye Xiu with a fawning chuckle. ”Sir, I was just joking earlier. To be honest, I don’t know Xu Jinghao or Wang Hongtao very well. Please, feel free to teach them a lesson however you see fit. I won’t interfere...”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Was this the same proud and arrogant Ito Meiya from a moment ago? He was acting like a complete bootlicker!

”You’re certainly adaptable,” Ye Xiu said, amused by Ito Meiya’s shamelessness.

Ito Meiya forced a laugh. In all my sixty-eight years, I have never been so humiliated. It feels as if I’ve swallowed something foul. But what choice do I have? Against an expert of this caliber, I can only play the coward to survive.

”You’re a member of the Sang Jing Medical Observation Group. Why are you associating with people like Xu Jinghao and Wang Hongtao?” Ye Xiu asked. ”If you dare to feed me any lies, I’ll slice you into pieces and feed you to the dogs.”

”I’ll talk, I’ll talk...” Ito Meiya didn’t dare try any tricks now. He confessed truthfully, ”Kuroki Suzu ordered me to secretly support someone to unify the Underworld of Jin Ye City. Through Xu Jinghao’s introduction, I met Wang Hongtao.”

”As for why I’m with Xu Jinghao, it’s part of a larger plan. To deal with Ye Xiu, Kuroki Suzu convinced the Rongfu Consortium to acquire the businesses of all his enemies in Jin Ye City. The plan was to consolidate all of them to use against him. Xu Jinghao is the young master of the Xu Family, which owns Kangtai Pharmaceutical, so I intended to make him the Rongfu Consortium’s business representative in Jin Ye City.”

So that’s how it is!

”Are you finished?” Ye Xiu asked.

Ito Meiya nodded.

Ye Xiu’s hand shot out and grabbed Ito Meiya’s neck.

CRACK!

”You...” Ito Meiya stared at Ye Xiu in disbelief as he slowly crumpled to the ground. Even in death, he couldn’t fathom why the masked young man had killed him.

When Xu Jinghao, Wang Hongtao, and the seventy or eighty local thugs saw Ye Xiu casually kill the Great Grandmaster Ito Meiya, they all began to tremble with fear. Wang Hongtao, Xu Jinghao, and Liu Meng in particular had directly provoked Ye Xiu. Since he had killed Ito Meiya, he certainly wouldn’t spare them.

”Got any money on you?” Ye Xiu asked, scanning the thugs.

”Yes, yes, we do.”

”All my money is right here.”

”I’ll give you everything, just please don’t kill me.”

After a moment of confusion, the thugs scrambled to pull out all the cash they had on them.

”Collect the money,” Ye Xiu ordered.

”You got it!” An Dongye replied gleefully, going around to collect the cash and grinning from ear to ear.

While An Dongye was busy, Ye Xiu sent a text message to Qing Luan, asking her to send people over. Then he sat down next to Wang Hongtao.

This scared Wang Hongtao out of his wits; he thought Ye Xiu was about to kill him. He immediately knelt and begged for mercy. ”Spare my life...”

Ye Xiu ignored him and beckoned to Xu Jinghao. ”Come here.”

Xu Jinghao shuddered, forcing his trembling legs to move. He stumbled over and fell to his knees before Ye Xiu. ”Don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me! I have money, lots of money! I’ll give you however much you want, just please don’t kill me...”

”I... I have money too!” Wang Hongtao chimed in. ”I’ll give you all my money! What’s more, from now on, you’re my boss! I, Wang Hongtao, will follow you. If you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west. From now on, I’ll be your loyal dog!”

”Shut up!” Ye Xiu glared at Wang Hongtao.

The glare alone made Wang Hongtao wet himself in terror. He felt as if he had just taken a step through the Ghost Gate.

”Xu Jinghao, your family’s Kangtai Pharmaceutical was sold to the Rongfu Consortium?” Ye Xiu asked.

”Yes, yes!” Xu Jinghao nodded repeatedly.

”What were the terms? Did the Rongfu Consortium acquire it fully, or did they just take a controlling stake?” Ye Xiu asked.

”A controlling stake. For instance, with our family’s Kangtai Pharmaceutical, the Rongfu Consortium only acquired fifty-one percent of the shares,” Xu Jinghao explained.

”Has the contract been signed?” Ye Xiu asked.

”It’s being signed this afternoon,” Xu Jinghao said.

Ye Xiu nodded. Although the Ming Feng Pavilion’s intelligence network was spread throughout Jin Ye City, uncovering the negotiation details between Kuroki Suzu and the masterminds behind the scenes would have taken some effort. Now that Xu Jinghao had spilled everything, there was no need to investigate.

”Alright, you can go. Remember, not a word about me killing Ito Meiya. Otherwise, not even Kuroki Suzu will be able to protect you or the Xu Family. For me, killing Kuroki Suzu is just as easy as killing Ito Meiya,” Ye Xiu said.

”Yes, yes! I absolutely won’t say a word!”

Xu Jinghao was ecstatic. He couldn’t believe Ye Xiu was not only sparing his life but hadn’t even laid a finger on him. He gave three loud kowtows to Ye Xiu before scrambling to his feet and running off.

However, Xu Jinghao didn’t know that Ye Xiu had only spared him because he intended to torment him. As the person who had schemed against Qin Qing for ten years, Ye Xiu had no intention of letting Xu Jinghao off so easily.

Watching Xu Jinghao leave, Wang Hongtao was on the verge of tears. He asked timidly, ”Sir... what are you going to do with me?”

Ye Xiu ignored him.

Wang Hongtao was dumbfounded. What the hell...? Why did he go silent again? Kill me, carve me up, just say something! This silence is terrifying!

Just then, An Dongye came over, clutching a large stack of bills. ”Little brother, look at this! We’re rich! There must be over a hundred thousand here. Although you’re the one who robbed them, I’m the boss, so I should get the bigger cut. Let’s split it sixty-forty. I get sixty, you get forty.”

Ye Xiu chuckled. An Dongye truly was obsessed with money. He smiled and said, ”We made a huge mess and damaged a lot of the restaurant’s property. The last group of customers also left without paying. Take some of this money to compensate the owner for the damages. The rest is all yours. I don’t want any.”
