In the Hidden Market, there is a bar.
Today at the bar, a fierce-looking man got drunk and started chatting with those around him.
At first, they discussed which girl was attractive and other colorful topics, but then sohow the conversation shifted to past events.
The drunk man was none other than the one who, back in the day, kidnapped Jiang Hanyi and managed to escape, a fish that slipped through the net hiding in the Hidden Market.
Back then, he escaped with his life, but both his brothers died, and he never received the final paynt from their employer.
The final paynt wasn’t received because the employer disappeared.
The employer didn’t just disappear alone; the whole family vanished without a trace.
Making an entire family disappear without a trace, anyone familiar with the underworld could guess their ultimate fate.
Such a grand move utterly extinguished his initial desire to avenge his brothers.
He fled all the way to Beijing, stayed low for a while, then started feeling restless again.
The death of his brothers left him unwilling to accept it, he wanted to go back and stir up so trouble.
Later, finding an opportunity, he returned to Wanhai City.
Seeing the young man who had been left with just a breath back then, now unhard, stunned him completely.
At the ti, the three of them had attacked, beating him without rcy.
Especially during that final blow as they left, the young man had nearly stopped breathing.
So the unhard, lively young man he saw, could he be the brother of the original victim?
With this thought in mind, he boldly stayed in the shadows of Wanhai to investigate.
Eventually, he confird that the young man he saw was indeed the person they had kidnapped back then.
There was sothing very strange as well, almost no one in Wanhai knew Jiang Hanyi had been kidnapped, and the man even appeared within three days of being severely injured, completely unhard.
This realization made him panic.
He wasn’t completely ignorant, having spent years on the fringes of society, he knew about cultivators and the special powers of these people above others.
Afraid of revenge, he fled back to Beijing that very night.
Since then, he hadn’t taken on any work, living off his savings for over a year now.
Today, feeling distressed, he drank too much and randomly grabbed soone to share the past he had buried deep inside.
He didn’t notice the sunny, handso bartender inside the bar, who was drying glasses, keeping his eyes locked on him the entire ti.
After hearing everything, the bartender signaled with a glance to a few waiters nearby.
Those who received the glance imdiately approached the drunken man.
When the man’s guard was at its lowest, they unexpectedly struck, knocking him out cold.
The bartender casually placed the glass he was wiping on the table and stepped out from behind the bar, coldly staring at the unconscious man.
"Take him away!" said the youthful voice.
He led the way, while the waiters supported the man from behind and followed.
...
Er Hu opened his confused eyes, seeing the sa handso guy from the bar counter, surrounded by several black-clad n whose depth he couldn’t gauge, guarding the area.
His body was tied up; he knew he had been played, his foggy mind quickly clearing up, his eyes subtly assessing the surroundings.
Wanqi Yihai stood to the side, a cigarette in his mouth, noticing the tied-up man had woken up.
The young man walked step by step toward Er Hu, his voice calm and clear: "Stop looking, this is the bar’s basent. You can’t get out, and I don’t want to harm your life, I just want to ask you a few questions."
"What do you want to ask?" Er Hu looked up, assessing the young boy who didn’t seem very old, his caution unabated.
Wanqi Yihai took the last puff of his cigarette, flicked the butt to the ground, crushing it with the tip of his shoe.
