Did I misjudge him?
As Yuan Wenkang was growing curious, the old man looked at Old Cripple with dissatisfaction and said, "Old Cripple, we haven't seen each other in so long, and you bully the Young Master's man right in front of ?"
"Aren't you going a bit too far?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Old Cripple chuckled.
"Ah, old friend, you can't bla for this. Who was the one who dared to question ? You know my temper!"
"I was lenient enough not to take out his eye. I just put a hole in his face, that's all. It's no big deal!"
Before the old man could say anything else, Yuan Wenkang interjected, "It seems this senior is quite formidable!"
Hearing the praise, Old Cripple's smile widened.
"Hahaha, you have a good eye, Young Master. Of course, I'm not that formidable, just so-so. But killing a rookie who has just stepped into the Ancient Martial Sects is a piece of cake!"
"I don't even need to handle such a matter personally; I'll have my disciple take care of it!"
"It's just the price..."
The mont Yuan Wenkang heard this, he imdiately patted his chest in assurance.
"Senior, rest assured, as long as you can take care of Liu Ergou, the price is negotiable. I'll give you however much you ask for!"
"But of course, you can't make an outrageous demand. If you ask for the entire Yuan Family fortune, then I'm afraid there's nothing I can do!"
In response to Yuan Wenkang's words, Old Cripple actually rolled his eyes.
"This kid really knows how to joke with an old man like ."
"Even if you offered the entire Yuan Family fortune, I wouldn't dare accept it. Do you really think I'm an Innate Grandmaster?"
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Just send the information, and I'll have my disciple take care of it."
"As for the money, I won't ask for much. Just 10,000,000! How's that? Fair enough, right?"
Yuan Wenkang naturally didn't dare to object. The mont Old Cripple stated his price, he imdiately pushed a bank card toward him.
"Senior, the money is ready. There is 10,000,000 in this card. The PIN is 666666."
Old Cripple's eyes lit up at the sight of the bank card.
He was about to ask the old man to put the card away for him, but Yuan Wenkang suddenly pressed his hand down on it.
Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Senior, there's sothing I must remind you of!"
"That Liu Ergou is quite tricky. I previously hired Ancient Martial Artists to assassinate him, supposedly masters from the Flying Swallow Sect. For so reason, they inexplicably gave up the hunt, which is why Liu Ergou is still at large!"
"I'm just saying, you can't drop the task halfway. You need to have so professional ethics!"
Yuan Wenkang's words gave Old Cripple pause.
Then, he said in a deep voice, "The Flying Swallow Sect, eh? I didn't expect you had hired them."
"Although that sect is pitifully small, with only a few mbers, their strength is quite decent. I'm surprised they would give up on the matter."
"Alright, I understand. I'll be careful. Don't worry, the mission will be completed!"
"After all, at my age, I still have my reputation to consider!"
With that, the old man took the bank card for Old Cripple and tucked it into his pocket.
Then, he pushed Old Cripple's wheelchair out of the office.
As the two old n left, Sun Gang clutched his face and said with so concern, "Young Master Yuan, I hope you don't mind saying this."
"Are you sure this old man is capable? Although he managed to injure in that baffling way, we can't rule out that he used so kind of sleight of hand."
"What if..."
Yuan Wenkang naturally understood Sun Gang's worries and waved his hand dismissively.
"Sun Gang, I know what you're concerned about, but rest assured. This man was found by Uncle, and I trust Uncle one hundred percent!"
"If even soone like this Old Cripple can't complete the task of taking out Liu Ergou himself, then we might as well go our separate ways. You do what you have to do, and forget about getting revenge on Liu Ergou."
"I'll just go straight back to Jingdu and see if the Innate Grandmaster Realm expert in my family is willing to take action!"
Sun Gang fell silent at Yuan Wenkang's words.
Indeed, assuming Old Cripple's skills were genuine, if even he couldn't defeat Liu Ergou, then there was truly nothing left for Sun Gang to do.
As Sun Gang was lost in thought, the old man returned.
Seeing him, Yuan Wenkang imdiately asked, "Uncle, I'm a bit curious about Old Cripple's background."
"He's so old and has no limbs, can he really fight?"
"And his disciple..."
Yuan Wenkang was interrupted before he could finish.
"Young Master, rest assured."
"He is an old friend of mine and is absolutely trustworthy. And though it seems he's lost his limbs, he is an expert with hidden weapons, capable of killing without a trace!"
"His disciple may not be as powerful, but he has reached the late stage of Huajin. You should know what the Huajin realm entails, so I won't elaborate further!"
After receiving the old man's assurances, Yuan Wenkang said no more.
It was clear he trusted the old man completely, without a shred of doubt.
「anwhile」
Old Cripple, having left Yuan Wenkang's room, was now being pushed along a road in his wheelchair by a young man.
Squinting at the sun, Old Cripple said to the young man behind him, "My good disciple, Master has a task for you."
"Find a man nad Liu Ergou and take him out. I'll send you his information in a mont."
"It's said this Liu Ergou is a newcor who has just stepped into the Ancient Martial Sects. His strength isn't much to speak of, but he's supposedly quite tricky."
"He even managed to make the Flying Swallow Sect give up their hunt for him."
The young man pushing the wheelchair nodded upon hearing his master's words.
"Understood, Master. I will certainly accomplish the task you've entrusted to !"
Hearing the young man's response, Old Cripple bead with joy.
The young man said nothing more, simply pushing his master leisurely through the streets. Soon, their figures vanished from sight.
「Elsewhere」
Liu Ergou had already returned ho, carrying Ning Hua in his arms.
Lying in bed, Ning Hua looked at her thigh and sighed.
"Ah, Er Gou, my luck is just terrible, getting bitten by a snake so senselessly."
"Now I can't help with your special training. It seems we'll have to move on to the next phase!"
"Although your foundational experience is still a bit lacking, you won't just be taking a one-sided beating from soone from the Ancient Martial Sects."
"Once I teach you the next part, you'll at least have the power to protect yourself when you encounter soone at the sa level."
