Chapter 0297 – New Pawn – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"Didn’t I tell you not to come to me without my orders?"

Zhongyue’s attitude was very cold. He has always looked down on people like Chiliao who made a fortune by loan sharks.

"If it weren’t for the emergency situation, I wouldn’t have come to you." Red Lamentation Cursed in his heart.

He forced himself to fall to his knees and said:

"As it is, I can only come to you."

"Say, what is it?"

"There’s a man posing as a demonic sect, he’s highly skilled in martial arts, we’re no match for him at all."

Red Liao deliberately concealed the fact that Jian Wuji claimed to be the young master of the Demon Sect. He knew that with Zhong Yue’s character, he would definitely say, "A madman, is he worth making a fuss over?" Then he used the opportunity to shirk his responsibility.

"Impersonating a demonic sect is a capital offense! What exactly is he? How powerful is he?"

"He has already killed two of my beloved ones, and even Stack Crane , died at his hands."

Upon hearing the name of Stack Crane, Zhong Yue’s heart stirred.

"Well, in this case, I’ll help you out."

Red Lament Originally thought that Zhong Yue would shirk all sorts of excuses, but did not expect that he would actually agree so quickly, and could not help but be a little surprised in his heart.

"Thanks, Captain!"

"However, I have one condition."

"Go ahead."

"You have to let the Branch Rudder Master know that someone is posing as a Demon Sect. I can’t do this kind of thing alone."

Red Liao immediately understood Zhong Yue’s intention.

"This kid, he’s trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife! He’s trying to utilize the Branch Rudder Master to get rid of that expert. That’s really insidious!"

However, Red Lament doesn’t care about that. As long as he can get rid of Jian Wuji, he is willing to do anything.

"No problem, I’ll arrange it."

In fact, Zhongyue’s plan was even more vicious than Red Luck had imagined.

If the sub-coordinator was accidentally killed while capturing someone posing as a Demon Cult, then the Demon Sword Team would be able to rightfully, avenge the sub-coordinator’s death.

"Do you think that this plan is feasible?" Zhong Yue asked Che Huai.

"Of course it’s feasible! Our Magic Sword Team is invincible!"

In Zhong Yue’s eyes, a trace of viciousness flashed. He never did things by any means, as long as he could achieve his goal, he would do anything.

The next day, Zhu Yang once again came to the inn.

"Mr. Zhu, you’re getting bolder and bolder, actually daring to come to me alone."

"I thought you said you needed my hand. As long as I have my hand, you won’t kill me, will you?"

Zhu Yang hadn’t slept a wink and had been thinking about what Jian Wuji had said.

"Why on earth would you want my hand?"

Jian Wuji looked at Zhu Yang , and uttered the most shocking sentence in his life:

"I want you, to be the president of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."

"What …… are you babbling about?" Zhu Yang shouted out of breath.

Sword Wuji, on the other hand, remains as calm as water.

"Why do you think, it’s impossible?"

"This ……"

Zhu Yang In his heart, there were countless reasons that could refute Jian Wuji . However, these reasons, he had never thought about them, nor had he ever said them to anyone.

"Aren’t you going to kill me?"

In Zhu Yang’s impression, Jian Wuji was a decisive person who would never let any evil person go easily.

"That’s right, I was going to kill you, but, I need a villain now."

Jian Wuji Spoke out his plan.

"Since you are indispensable evil, let you, then, be the true evil. From now on, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, will lend money to those in need at a reasonable interest rate. Right now, I only control the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, but one day, I will change the rules of the entire jianghu and make all the loan sharks pay."

Zhu Yang Finally realized why Jian Wuji had left him behind, why he had left his hands behind. He was going to use these hands and continue to rattle the abacus, but this time, it was to help those in need.

"You …… What exactly are you?" Zhu Yang couldn’t help but ask.

"I told you a long time ago, I’m the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master."

"You …… you’re a crazy person!"

Sword Wuji Obviously, he was a murderous devil, but he had to pretend to be compassionate, which made Zhu Yang feel incredibly confused and uneasy.

"Even someone like you is calling me crazy? If those Demon Elders heard that, they would definitely laugh their teeth off. They would definitely treat me as a joke and have a good laugh."

Zhu Yang Shook his head, his heart filled with doubts. Could it be that he really is the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master? Or, is he really crazy?

"What do you think, your plan, will work?"

"I don’t know, because this is something that is going to be done by you."

Sword Wuji’s words made Zhu Yang even more confused.

"You’re so good at martial arts, why don’t you do it yourself? Why do you want me to do it?"

"Because, you know the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and those loan sharks the best. Moreover, if you betray me, I can kill you without hesitation."

So, this is Jian Wuji’s punishment for him.

"You …… You’re so mean!"

"You think, I’m saving you? You are wrong! You will be facing an even greater challenge, you have to manage the entire Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, and you can’t let anyone, embezzle a single penny."

Jian Wuji wants Zhu Yang to spend his whole life to pay for the sins he committed.

"Thou shalt labor all the days of thy life until thou die, as those whom thou hast forced into debt."

"And if I refuse?"

"Then you’re going to die, along with Akira."

Sword Wuji said, placing two copper coins on the table in turn. Those two coins seemed to represent the fate of Chiliao and Zhu Yang.

Seeing those two coins, Zhu Yang’s heart once again beat violently. During this recent period of time, he was always scared, afraid that those two copper coins would suddenly shoot through his head.

Was it the fear of death, or the greed for power, or being tired of this meaningless life? Ever since he met Sword Wuji, his heart had been in a state of extreme contradiction.

He clearly knew that he would surely die, but he had a slight illusion of hope for life. He clearly knew that Jian Wuji’s plan was impossible to realize, but he wanted to try.

"Are you …… you afraid?" Jian Wuji asked.

"Of course I’m scared!"

"Even if you fall into the sea, as long as you can show your nose and mouth, you can live. The sea is as big as it is, but there is only so much space, and that’s enough."

Jian Wu Ji Said, gesturing a circle with his hand.

"Think about it, your saving grace, whether it’s me, or Red Lament . You must make your choice soon, for, a greater storm, is coming."

Zhu Yang Looking at the two copper coins on the table, his heart was full of mixed feelings. These two copper coins would change his fate.

He wanted to live, but he didn’t want to live in remorse and fear for the rest of his life. If he had to spend his entire life, atoning for his sins, he would rather choose death.

However, when he thought that he was about to be torn to pieces by the real Demon Cult, a glimmer of hope for life surged in his heart. He didn’t know, why he was like this, he only knew that he wanted to live.

Zhu Yang Picked up the copper coins on the table and turned to leave before leaving:

“This storm, you brought it on yourself, you better find yourself, too, a way back.”
