Chapter 0024 – What Will Happen Will Happen – The Absolute Return

After resting for about half an hour, we set off again.

However, it wasn’t long before

“Pfft!”

A man on horseback suddenly fell off his horse.

“Stop!”

We rushed to gather around, only to see that the man’s face was blackened, foaming at the mouth, and he had already died of gas.

“He’s dead!”

The reporting hanyou looked at his companion with horror on his face. To be precise, it was all of us who had a look of horror on our faces. For, we all showed the same symptoms, a blue face and purple lips.

“It’s poison!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, several more people covered their necks and fell to the ground.

“Uh ……”

In the blink of an eye, everyone except me and Liang Dang, as well as the other hanyou, were poisoned to death.

Looking at the two of us, Liang Dang and that hanyou’s eyes were filled with vigilance.

‘They actually poisoned the food!’

I didn’t know anything about this matter in my previous life. I only remember, Lin Qiu said, those jianghu people all died at the hands of foreign enemies, and none of the bodies were found. Could it be that Liang Dang and the others were killing to silence them?

Perhaps, they are destroying the body to cover up the fact that they poisoned it.

“How are you okay?” Liang Dang asked sternly, pointing at me.

“I didn’t eat the jerky you gave me, I don’t know you well, why should I eat what you gave me?”

Although my rebirth has changed many things, there are some things that cannot be changed. Just like the cook who poisoned the rice was destined to die that day, the fate of these jianghu people was also predetermined a long time ago.

There are some killings that I can stop, but there are some killings that I can’t do anything about. What’s meant to happen, happens eventually.

Liang Dang and that hanyou drew their weapons at the same time.

“You might as well be dead!”

It was at that moment that a sudden change occurred.

“Pfft!”

The longsword in Liang Dang’s hand unexpectedly pierced through that man’s chest.

“You ……” The man spat blood from his mouth and fell to the ground.

I looked at Liang Dang and shook my head, “You’re so stupid, you should have let him deal with me before killing him. Don’t you know that my strength is unfathomable?”

“This guy is so shrewd that there’s no way he’ll make the first move. It’s going to be my shot anyway, so I might as well kill him while he’s talking to you.” Liang Dang sneered.

Their strength, it seems, should be on par with each other.

“How pathetic, to kill even your companions for money. Aren’t you afraid that when you get to the netherworld, those wronged souls will come looking for you to claim your life?”

“I don’t need a companion behind me, you should worry about yourself.”

“Aren’t you afraid of retribution for killing so many people?”

“Money solves everything, I want booze and women ……”

“For these, you kill innocent people indiscriminately? Aren’t you afraid of going to hell after death?”

“You idiot, worry about yourself!”

Liang Dang dared to lay hands on his companion because he still had something to lean on.

Only four figures were seen, slowly walking over. Three of them were masked, while the leader was unmasked. Judging from their eyes and pace, they were all experts.

“You’re here.”

Liang Dang bowed respectfully, it seemed that these few people, were his patrons.

The man at the head ignored Liang Dang, his gaze, landed on the carriage, “Come out, don’t force my hand!”

The beautiful woman held the child and stepped out of the carriage.

“We’ve been looking for you guys for a long time, and we didn’t expect you to hide here.” The person in the lead said coldly.

“Please, spare my child!” The beautiful woman pleaded.

“Brother Quan, please, for the sake of our past love, spare my child!” The beautiful woman seemed to recognize the man at the head as she pleaded.

The guy named Quan, after hesitating for a moment, said, “Well, for old times’ sake, I can spare your child.”

On the beautiful woman’s face, a hint of joy had just appeared, but Quan’s words changed, ”I knew you would come to this! You bitch, what do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?”

He mocked the beautiful woman’s motherhood with abandon, his eyes full of teasing and mockery.

The child hid in his mother’s arms in fear, and the beautiful woman’s face, too, turned iron blue. But she still held back her anger and begged, “As long as you are willing to spare my child, I can give you ten times the price.”

“As good as the money is, you have to have a life to spend it. Your father has been captured by us, and you’re at the end of your rope.”

When she heard that her father had been arrested, the beautiful woman’s face, immediately lost the last trace of blood color.

That’s when Kwon’s eyes, fell on me.

I was smiling and waving at the kid, trying to comfort him.

“Who is this kid? Isn’t he one of your men?” Quan asked Liang Dang, pointing at me.

Everyone’s gazes, were focused on me. Especially the beautiful woman, her eyes, filled with hope.

I slowly walked up to the beautiful woman and child, blocking their path.

“I’m being paid to do a job, and I’m responsible for escorting the mother and son to their destination safely. The person I want to protect is standing right behind me.”

Just as the beautiful woman’s hand, gripped the rope around her waist that was woven with heavenly silk, I struck.
