Chapter 0025 – You’ve Come to the Right Place – Absolute Returns

“Who is this kid?” Quan glared angrily at Liang Dang and questioned.

“He’s a leak.” Liang Dang said in a low voice.

“Why don’t you kill him? We agreed to leave only the woman and the child!”

“I’ll kill him now.”

Liang Dang drew his sword and came towards me. He was so confident that he thought he could easily finish me off. He didn’t realize how much of an illusion this young face of mine would give him and how many outlaws like him would be attracted.

“I see you guys, you’re a bunch of backstabbing shameless people, will you really give them the money? I think you guys are trying to kill people and keep the money all to yourselves, right?” I deliberately sowed discord.

Quan’s face changed, “What did you say? Treachery?”

“For the sake of the baby, I won’t say anything too harsh.” I sneered.

Kwon laughed in exasperation, “This kid’s crazy, isn’t he?”

“I got you, didn’t I? You just want to kill someone and keep the money all to yourself, don’t you? I’d advise you not to do that, but he even killed his companions to get to this point.”

Kwon’s face flushed red, obviously having been told what was on my mind.

“You damned charlatan!”

Quan yelled at his men, “Kill him first!”

The three masked men came out in response, weapons drawn, and closed in on me.

“See? He said he’ll kill me first and you’ll be next.” I looked at Liang Dang and smiled.

A trace of panic flashed across Liang Dang’s face.

“Even if we have to run, we have to get the money first.”

Liangdang just tried to back away.

“Whoosh!”

Quan suddenly struck, and a concealed weapon broke through the air, hitting Liang Dang squarely in the chest.

“Pfft!”

Liang Dang collapsed to the ground, out of breath.

“What a waste!” Quan said disdainfully as he looked at Liang Dang’s corpse.

“That’s what happens when you betray, you’re next.” I said coldly as I looked at Quan.

“Same goes for you, you should have left him alive to deal with me. If you kill him, who will be your shield? How can you people, who can’t always control your emotions, live for long?”

“You shut up!”

Quan roared angrily, and the three masked men struck out at the same time, attacking me.

It seemed that they were all masters and didn’t need Liang as a shield at all.

I looked at the beautiful woman and signaled her to cover the child’s eyes and ears. The beautiful woman hurriedly did as she was told and held the child tightly in her arms.

I don’t want to waste time.

Before they could strike, I took the lead and attacked.

I executed the Underworld Steps of the Four Steps of the Wind God.

Although my cultivation is still shallow, it is more than enough to deal with them.

They didn’t even have a chance to react, I was in front of them in an instant, and with a flash of sword light, their throats were slit.

The second masked man stared wide-eyed, and if I could read his mind, his thoughts at the moment would be, “What’s going on ……” and then his neck was cut by me as well.

The third masked man watched his two companions fall, but could do nothing.

It all happened in a flash of lightning.

With my martial arts, coupled with the Four Steps of the Wind God, they wouldn’t be able to withstand my attacks even if they practiced for another hundred years. The third masked man’s fate was the same as the previous two, he was approached by me with the Underworld Steps and then sealed his throat with a sword.

Quan looked at me in horror, and in his eyes, it was as if he saw three sword lights flashing at the same time, and three of his men falling at the same time.

“What a fast sword technique!”

“I didn’t even use swordplay, it’s just that your eyes couldn’t keep up with my speed.”

“You, who the hell are you?”

Kwon’s voice trembled, fear in his eyes.

Instead of answering him, I turned to the beautiful woman and asked, “Who is he?”

“His name is Gwonwon, and he is a retainer of our family. My name is Jin Si Ren, and I’m the daughter of Lord Gold Shojo.”

“The Golden House!”

I pretended to be surprised; in fact, I already knew who she was.

Her father is none other than the famous giant merchant Kim Ah-soo, the richest man in Fujian and the owner of the Golden Estate.

I’ve come a long way to get here.

It’s about this very thing – the rebellion at the Golden Mansion.

Lin Qiu told me about this very thing. Lord Goldfinger was betrayed and brutally murdered by his most trusted retainer.

The daughter of the gold manor owner, who escaped death because she was out on an errand, hired a group of jianghu people to try to escape from the place, but in the end, it was hard to escape death.

“I want to hire you, to protect us, for any amount of money.” Jin Si Ren pleaded.

“Now things have changed and my value has gone up.”

“Great, we can afford any price. Please, kill him and save my father!”

Kwon Won hastily begged me for mercy, “Spare my life, I’ll help you deal with them, and I’ll make them give you more money than they’ve ever given you!”

“More than the daughter of the Golden Lord gives? How do you give?”

Gwonwon was speechless.

I walked up to him and said coldly, “You say you’re a retainer? Then you should have stood in front of the mother and son duo and blocked the sword for them, instead of standing here and betraying them!”

Gwonwon desperately dodged my sword, but the gap in strength between us can’t be bridged by begging for mercy.

“Pfft!”

My sword, pierced his heart.

Gwonwon screamed miserably and fell to the ground. Seeing him die, Jin Si Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she still covered the child’s eyes and ears.

I searched through the corpses of Quan Yuan and the three masked men and found some daggers that could be used as concealed weapons. The next place we’re going to is surely full of crises.

“Let’s go.”

“We need to get Yang’er to safety first.” Jin Si Ren said.

I jumped on the wagon and said to her, “Come on up, the safest place to be right now is by my side.”

Jin Si Ren didn’t hesitate, she knew that I was strong enough to protect the mother and son duo. Moreover, if it wasn’t for me, they would have died long ago.

She held the child and got into the carriage, and I drove the carriage, returned the same way, and galloped towards the Golden Manor.

Lv Xiang.

The master of the Lv Jia Zhuang, the escorting family of the Golden Zhuang, is also the mastermind of this rebellion.

For today, he has carefully planned for ten years. He bribed many of the important people in the gold manor, secretly got rid of a few disobedient ones, and sent some of those who couldn’t be bribed, out to the field.

He thought he had it made.

Until Kinslayer and I show up again.

He smiled happily when he saw Jin Si Ren and the child get out of the wagon, thinking that his men had captured them.

“Hahahahaha!”

If he let the mother and son duo escape, he would never feel at ease in his life.

“Where’s Gwonwon?”

He treats me like one of Kwon Won’s men.

“He’s dead, everyone but me.”

The tone of my voice made him feel a twinge of alienation, but he wanted to know more:
