Chapter 149: Chapter 149 An Dongye Cuts In

”Number 35, hand over the Marrow Cleansing Pill and I’ll spare your life,” Kuroki Suzu, the woman leading the group, said coldly.

”You’re planning to rob me of my Marrow Cleansing Pill?” Ye Shaokang, quite the actor, feigned ignorance. Clutching the White Jade Box, he said coldly, ”Stop right there! If anyone dares to come closer, I’ll destroy it.”

With a screech, the hundred or so people with Kuroki Suzu skidded to a halt.

”Number 35, don’t be rash,” Kuroki Suzu soothed. ”If you dare destroy the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I will kill you.”

”Do you take me for a fool? If I don’t destroy it, do you think I can leave here alive?” Ye Shaokang retorted coldly.

”Our target is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, not your life,” said Kuroki Suzu.

”But with so many of you, who should I give it to?” Ye Shaokang asked.

”Give it to me!”

”To me!”

”If you don’t give it to me, I’ll kill you!”

The crowd of over a hundred people began to clamor, each demanding that Ye Shaokang give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to them.

Ye Shaokang watched the scene with cold eyes. Internally, however, he was ecstatic! Tonight, he had suffered a staggering loss of 4 billion, and he was so terrified by Ye Xiu that his legs were still trembling. There was no way he was going to let this group off easy. It would be far better to use the counterfeit Marrow Cleansing Pill to make them fight it out.

”All of you, shut up!” Kuroki Suzu roared. She pulled off her hat, mask, and sunglasses, then surveyed the crowd. ”I am Kuroki Suzu. I’m sure you’ve all heard my name. I possess War God Level strength. I will kill anyone who dares to fight me for the Marrow Cleansing Pill. If you’re not afraid of death, then by all means, try and take it.”

Her intention was to reveal her identity to intimidate everyone, allowing her to walk away with the pill unopposed. And indeed, the hundred-plus people were all cowed by her presence.

However, the onlooking Martial Artists were not pleased. They began to step forward.

A masked Great Grandmaster spoke in a frigid tone, ”Kuroki Suzu, this is Xuanse, not a place for you to run wild. Do you think our Xuanse Ancient Martial Circle is empty?”

Others chimed in angrily.

”Kuroki Suzu, a Sang Jing native, dares to come to Xuanse and rob us? She clearly has no respect for the Martial Artists of Xuanse!”

”So what if you have War God Level strength? If we join forces, killing you wouldn’t be difficult.”

”Damn it, killing a Sang Jing War God today would make this trip worthwhile.”

”Hmph, you don’t think I came alone, do you?” Kuroki Suzu scoffed and then roared, ”Come out!”

WHOOSH!

From all directions, over a hundred black-clad, masked figures holding long swords rushed forward.

Aside from Miyamoto Satoshi, all the Ninja Warriors Kuroki Suzu had brought to Jin Ye City had been killed by An Dongye. However, after Kuroki Suzu had reported to Yagyu Uemon that morning, he had immediately dispatched a new batch of reinforcements for her—a full one hundred of them.

”These one hundred subordinates of mine are all Fifth Grade or higher Ninja Warriors, and they include Great Grandmasters and Eighth Grade Grandmasters,” Kuroki Suzu said with a cold smile as she scanned the crowd. She deliberately did not say how many of each were among them. ”Of course, we might not be a match for so many of you, but my people are not afraid to die. If we fight to the death, we can kill at least half of you.”

The Xuanse Martial Artists fell silent. Especially those who hadn’t intended to join the robbery; they had a strong sense of the bigger picture and realized it wasn’t worth losing a large number of Xuanse’s own for Kuroki Suzu’s sake.

Seeing that her words had intimidated the Xuanse Martial Artists, Kuroki Suzu fixed her cold gaze on Ye Shaokang. ”Number 35, you can give me the Marrow Cleansing Pill now,” she commanded.

Ye Shaokang was utterly disappointed. He had hoped to use the pill to incite a bloody battle among them, but Kuroki Suzu had managed to subdue everyone.

”Alright. Let’s hope you can make it back to Sang Jing alive with the Marrow Cleansing Pill,” Ye Shaokang said, feigning hesitation for a long moment before reluctantly tossing the White Jade Box toward Kuroki Suzu.

He and Kuroki Suzu were about seven or eight meters apart. The White Jade Box traced a parabola as it flew toward her.

Seeing this, Kuroki Suzu grew excited. Obtaining the Marrow Cleansing Pill without spending a single cent—her master would surely praise her when she returned to her country.

”Haha, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is mine!”

Just as the box flew toward Kuroki Suzu, a loud laugh rang out, accompanied by a ghostly figure dashing in from afar. With a single leap, the figure snatched the White Jade Box out of the air. Upon landing, she took off at a run, her speed in the darkness making her look like a phantom.

”It’s you?” Kuroki Suzu recognized the person at a glance. After all, the black plastic bag pulled over her head was highly recognizable.

”After her!” Kuroki Suzu shouted, taking the lead in the chase after An Dongye.

Her one hundred Ninja Warriors, Ye Shaokang, and the Xuanse Martial Artists all pursued at full speed. Of course, Ye Shaokang and the Xuanse Martial Artists were simply curious to see who this ’mysterious person’ was that had intercepted the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

”The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. How did I not expect her to pull a move like that?” Ye Xiu, who was squatting outside the auction house enjoying the show, was completely flabbergasted by An Dongye’s actions. He truly hadn’t expected that she, after holding back all afternoon, was waiting for this exact moment. A sniper through and through! Such incredible patience!

”Young Master!” At this moment, Mo Luo appeared beside Ye Xiu. ”Should we help An Dongye?”

”No need. With her speed, no one can catch her except me,” Ye Xiu said. ”Have our men secretly take care of Kuroki Suzu’s one hundred subordinates.”

”Understood!” Mo Luo nodded and vanished into the night.

Ye Xiu walked toward the parking lot in high spirits. Today had been quite a bountiful day. He had secured the Marrow Cleansing Pill, made 3.6 billion, and conned the Ye Family. The assassins who accepted the 200 million Gold Reward had used the auction as cover to infiltrate Jin Ye City, but Gong Jin and Mo Luo had already found and dealt with them all. Furthermore, Kuroki Suzu’s one hundred subordinates were about to be eliminated. It was a grand harvest indeed.

”Ye Xiu!”

As he reached the parking lot, a graceful figure suddenly pounced on him.

”Dragon Hollyhock?” Ye Xiu froze when he saw her face. ”What are you doing here?”

”You took my money the day before yesterday and promised to spend tonight with me. Have you forgotten?” Dragon Hollyhock asked, her voice tender and charming.

Only then did Ye Xiu remember. He had completely forgotten about it.

”Let’s get a room,” Ye Xiu said. ”How about this: you go to the Bvlgari Hotel, book a room, and wait for me. I have a few things to take care of, and I’ll find you when I’m done.”

”Okay!” Dragon Hollyhock reluctantly agreed with a pout.

After Dragon Hollyhock left, Ye Xiu drove home.

Meanwhile, Dragon Hollyhock went to the Bvlgari Hotel, got a room, and washed herself thoroughly. She then lay on the bed, full of anticipation, waiting for Ye Xiu. She waited and waited, eventually falling asleep.
