Chapter 0297 – New Pawn – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

Akuma didn’t mourn the loss of his beloved.

The dead are dead, and what’s more, even his own right-hand man, he can give up so easily, let alone others.

"Make sure you hold him off until I get back."

Zhu Yang knows the character of Red Lament and understands that if he lets Jian Wuji escape, he will definitely die. Nowadays, his life is already hanging by a thread.

Right now, he could only try his best to fulfill the task that Red Lament had entrusted to him, which was to collect interest every day.

The next day, the thugs who went to collect the interest returned with their hands wasted.

On the third day, it was still the same. Zhu Yang originally thought that Jian Wuji would be lenient and let the second hitman go, but he didn’t expect that he would still show no mercy.

For two days in a row, there are fighters who returned with their hands ruined, and the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is in a state of panic. Some of the fighters, on the pretext of illness, hiding at home, do not dare to go out, there are some fighters, simply directly escape, do not know where to go.

The fighters privately scolded Jian Wuji for his ruthlessness, but Zhu Yang didn’t think so. He felt that Jian Wuji was already merciful. If he was really ruthless, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce would have been bloodied.

"Why didn’t he kill everyone that day?"

While collecting the body of the man who was tortured to death by Stack Crane, Zhu Yang was filled with despair, thinking that he would be killed by Sword Wuji as well. However, Jian Wuji did not do that. He must have his reasons for keeping them.

In any case, today’s interest, it’s still due.

"Today, I’ll go myself."

Upon hearing Zhu Yang’s words, those fighters who were worried that they would be sent to their deaths were relieved. Zhu Yang also knew that he couldn’t always let his men take risks, so he decided to go out himself.

Looking at those men who dodged and did not dare to meet his eyes, Zhu Yang could not help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart . He knew that if it was him, he wouldn’t be willing to mess with Jian Wuji .

However, when he arrived at the inn, he saw Jian Wuji waiting for him with a smile on his face.

"Why are you the one who came? Could it be that all those men of yours, have been scared off by me?"

"They’re all afraid of you."

"You’re not the type to care if your men die, are you?"

"How much do you know about me, what do you know about me?"

Jian Wuji looked at Zhu Yang with burning eyes .

"It seems that you do have someone behind you. You didn’t go looking for help, did you?"

Zhu Yang His heart was shocked, but he didn’t move and asked:

"Why didn’t you waste my hands?"

This was the question he wanted to know the most. He asked himself that he hadn’t done anything to make Sword Wuji grateful.

Sword Wuji Took out two copper coins from his bosom, placed them on the table, and said indifferently:

"Because, I still have use for you."

When Zhu Yang heard this, he was confused, but Jian Wuji did not explain, but turned around and returned to his room.

Zhu Yang picked up the copper coins on the table, hesitated for a while, and finally left the inn. As he walked, he pondered over Jian Wu Ji’s words. He needs my hand? What exactly does that mean?

"Servant Master, it seems that an investigation into you has begun."

A voice, coming from under the boulder, was accompanied by a groan of pain.

Surprisingly, there was actually a person pressed under that boulder. He was using his internal force, supporting the boulder to prevent it from crushing him. Even with internal force protecting his body, it was by no means easy to support such a huge weight.

"Bang!"

The boulder fell to the ground, and a man with a stout figure and a cold face walked out from behind the boulder.

He was well-built, with an electric gaze, as if he were a fierce and powerful tiger.

Captain of the Magic Sword Team, Zhong Yue .

Those four words say it all.

The Devil Sword Squad, an elite unit of the Heavenly Demon God Sect, was stationed at the Jiangnan Branch Rudder year-round and was responsible for fending off foreign invasions.

As the captain of the Magic Sword Squad, Zhong Yue is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also experienced in hundreds of battles.

"You kid, are you trying to tire me out? To actually make me carry such a heavy stone and have to listen to your report?"

The one who spoke was Zhong Yue’s second-in-command, the leader of the first team of the Magic Sword Squad, Che Huai.

"Isn’t this an attempt to get you to retire early so I can take your place?"

Zhong Yue was so cold and unsmiling that even the other members of the Magic Sword Team were in awe of him. Che Huai, on the other hand, was the only one who dared to joke with him. Between the two of them, they were as close as brothers and had nothing to say to each other.

"You’re saying that the Branch Master is investigating me?"

"Yes, he has sent someone to secretly investigate you."

In terms of position, the sub-coordinator was one level higher than the captain. However, the Devil Sword Team, as an elite unit, possessed transcendent power, so normally, the sub-rudder master would treat the captain with respect.

However, the situation of the Jiangnan Branch Rudder was somewhat special.

"That guy, he just likes to make enemies, but he lets us charge in."

Zhong Yue took off his sweaty clothes, walked to the river, and began to clean his body. His body was covered with scars, large and small, that were marks of glory left behind by his many years of conquest.

"How nice would it be if he would just settle down? We could have a few days of peace too."

"Who knows what he has in mind?"

"He’s a man who just likes to put on airs, and it’s hard to feel good about himself without putting on an air of superiority."

Zhong Yue After taking a shower, he changed into a clean outfit.

"So what? Am I going to be afraid of him?"

"I’ve warned those people to keep their mouths shut."

Zhongyue was a money-grubbing and womanizing man who secretly accepted bribes from many kung-fu sects.

The new helmsman, on the other hand, was an upright man who strictly forbade his men from accepting bribes. Therefore, those who wanted to flatter Zhong Yue could only give him gifts secretly. And Zhong Yue accepted all of them.

"They send me money, I do things for them, what’s wrong with that? Those poor people, the money they give, is not enough for me to stuff my teeth."

As a matter of fact, Zhong Yue did not do exactly what those people asked him to do. He only did those things that he thought were profitable, while those that he thought were worthless were rejected.

This was all because of the power in his hands, and the Magic Sword Team behind him.

"What’s wrong with them spending money and buying peace of mind?"

Zhongyue’s words made Che Huai laugh.

This time, however, it was not as simple as before.

"As you know, the Branch Rudder Master is not someone to be messed with, if he really wants to investigate, sooner or later he will find out the truth."

A cold light flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes. Since the Branch Rudder Master dared to investigate him, it meant that he was ready to tear his face off. In the beginning, the relationship between the two was quite good, how did it come to this point today?

Zhong Yue walked to the boulder and drew his long sword.

He casually waved his hand and the boulder cracked in response.

"For the Peace of the Martial Arts ……"

Zhong Yue stroked the smooth cut surface and said lightly:

"The helmsman can change, but we can’t."

Just then, a henchman suddenly came to report:

"Captain, we have a guest."

In the secret room, Akagi is waiting anxiously.

This is Zhongyue’s secret meeting place.

In order to hide his identity, Akira wore a hat and a tattered tunic, disguising himself as an ordinary man.

When Zhong Yue walked into the secret room, Chiliao quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"It’s been a long time."
