"That move from Master Qin... it’s like the King of the Underworld calling the roll!"
Monkey peeked through the crack in the door and saw the entire thing, so excited his whole body was shaking.
...Although it wasn’t the first ti he’d seen it.
But every ti he did, he still felt an indescribable thrill and admiration.
And a smug sense of vicarious glory!
Looking at the fearful and desperate expressions on the people outside, Monkey felt a perverse satisfaction!
’...They actually dared to co banging on our door?’
’Do they really have no idea what Master Qin is capable of?’
Just as he was reveling in his thoughts, he heard a sharp gasp beside him.
"They’re... they’re all dead?"
Monkey snapped out of it. He turned his head and saw the woman had co to his side at so point. She was also peeking through the crack in the door, her face a mask of stunned disbelief.
With an audience, Monkey’s expression grew even more smug. With a sneer, he said, "They were asking for it. How dare they bang on Master Qin’s door?"
"Master Qin?" The woman slowly recovered, looking at Monkey with confusion in her eyes.
Monkey raised an eyebrow. "Master Qin just saved your life. What, are you trying to dig into his background?"
The woman quickly shook her head. "No, that’s not... I didn’t an that..."
"See that you don’t."
After he spoke, Monkey looked up at Qin Fang on the courtyard wall and quickly asked in a low voice, "Master Qin, should I go out and loot the bodies?"
Qin Fang looked outside. Hearing Monkey’s voice, he thought for a mont and said, "Disguise yourself first, then go. After that, we’ll head straight to Wang Hu’s house... I’m afraid soone might have already gone there."
That day at Zhao Cheng’s House, soone had arrived not long after the incident and had even set a fire.
Qin Fang wanted to wait for nightfall, but that was still more than two hours away... If they waited that long, the place would likely be long empty.
The wealth of Wang Hu and Cao Zhen was very tempting to him.
No matter what, he had to get to one of them first!
Monkey’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He replied, "You got it!"
With that, he quickly ran into the room he’d been staying in. He ca back out shortly after, wrapped up from head to toe, revealing only a pair of gleaming, shifty eyes.
The woman watched the whole ti, her gaze vacant.
Then she saw Monkey brazenly open the main gate and walk out.
The woman peeked curiously through the crack in the door and saw Monkey start going from one body to the next, searching them...
’Is he... looting them for money?’
The woman was dumbfounded.
She wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded.
The mbers of the Iron Tiger Gang, who had been forced into the neighboring house and didn’t dare co out, also saw this scene through the cracks in their door. They, too, were utterly stunned.
And then ca overwhelming anger!
"Damn it, he’s looting the bodies?!"
"He’s the one who killed so many of our brothers?!"
One of them, his eyes bloodshot, could no longer hold it in when he saw Monkey looting the bodies, especially when he reached a particular one. He violently threw open the gate.
With a roar, he shouted, "You’ll pay for my brother’s life!!"
He charged straight at Monkey.
Monkey was startled by this sudden developnt.
’Apparently, the body I’m looting... is this guy’s brother?’
But the man had just rushed out of the house and hadn’t even taken two steps.
Suddenly, THWACK!
A bloody hole appeared on his forehead. His charging body swayed and then collapsed to the ground, dead.
The next mont, another black streak shot into the courtyard he had just co from, and a cry of alarm was heard from within.
"Close the door!! Fucking close the door!!!!"
SLAM!!
The gate was slamd shut.
But in that brief mont, another corpse had fallen inside.
The scene beca even quieter.
Behind the various doors, pairs of eyes stared blankly, filled with fear and panic...
’This is terrifying!’
’What kind of accuracy is that?!’
’You die the second you show your face?!’
They behaved now. Pressed against the door, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, trembling uncontrollably.
A smug sneer appeared on Monkey’s face beneath his mask.
’Really asking for it, daring to run out like that.’
’As expected, it pays to follow Master Qin!’
’This feeling of security...’
’It’s off the charts!’
Monkey paid them no more mind and continued looting the bodies.
Over thirty bodies... he didn’t even spare the one who had run out to his death at the end.
But Monkey was very unsatisfied.
’A bunch of poor bastards... And here I thought the Iron Tiger Gang would be different...’ he grumbled inwardly.
From over thirty bodies, he had only scrounged up a little over forty taels of silver. On average, that was less than two taels per person.
And most of it was copper coins, which filled up a large bag.
He stood up and scanned his surroundings... He saw that far down the street, many people were secretly peeking in this direction.
But when Monkey’s gaze swept over them, they imdiately jumped in fright and quickly ducked their heads back.
This sight brought Monkey imnse pleasure...
The pleasure of a fox borrowing the tiger’s might.
A smug smile appeared on Monkey’s lips. He deliberately lingered outside for a while, pretending to observe the area.
Only then did he return to the courtyard.
The woman watched, trembling.
"Master, I only got about forty taels in total..." Monkey said to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang had been crouching on the wall the whole ti. After making sure no one would dare co out any ti soon, he jumped down. Hearing Monkey’s report, he nodded. "You keep it. Get ready to leave."
Monkey quickly acknowledged.
Qin Fang went into the house and grabbed the luggage he had prepared earlier...
This place was compromised. They wouldn’t be coming back, so naturally, they had to take everything with them.
"We’ll climb the back wall. Too many eyes out front," Qin Fang said.
Monkey nodded.
Seeing that the two of them were packed and ready to climb over the back wall to leave...
The woman, after a mont of daze, finally couldn’t stop herself from asking in a trembling voice, "What... what about ?"
Qin Fang and Monkey, who were just about to climb the wall, instinctively looked at her.
Her face went pale, and she almost slapped herself...
’These two are obviously not good people!’
’That tall, handso young master kills without the slightest hesitation. He’s practically a god of slaughter!’
’And that dark, skinny one... seeing so many dead people, not only was he not scared, he was incredibly excited...’
’What was I thinking?’
’If they’re leaving, I should just let them leave!’
’Why did I have to provoke them?!’
The woman’s face was ashen.
Qin Fang looked at her, then said calmly, "I’m not interested in why so many people from the Iron Tiger Gang were after you."
The woman’s expression changed again, and she almost instinctively turned her body to the side...
Qin Fang’s gaze fell on her bulging chest.
The woman’s expression changed yet again... ’Pervert!!’
But of course, she didn’t dare say anything, just stood there tongue-tied.
"But if I were you, I’d take this chance to leave imdiately and head back to True Martial County. I’ve given you a chance to live. Whether or not you can seize it is up to you."
After saying this, Qin Fang paid her no more attention, turned, and vaulted onto the wall, then over it.
Before climbing the wall, Monkey narrowed his eyes at the woman and said, "It’s rare for Master Qin to show so kindness. You’d better not cause any trouble for him."
Seeing that he had scared the woman, Monkey nimbly scrambled over the wall.
Soon, the sound of their footsteps faded away.
The woman stood there stunned. After a good while, she took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and found a relatively lower section of the wall. With so effort, she also climbed over it with surprising agility.
But when she looked, she could no longer see any sign of Qin Fang and Monkey.
After landing, she was a bit lost at first.
But she looked around, and a determined look finally appeared in her eyes...
’Lin Zhu’er, you can do this!’
’You can definitely make it back alive!’
She encouraged herself.
But thanks to that ’Master Qin’s’ killing spree, she had truly escaped her pursuers.
"Master Qin..."
The image of Qin Fang’s cold face subconsciously appeared in her mind.
A look of fear flickered in her eyes...
"But... how did he know I was from Huichun Hall?"
She didn’t quite understand.
But she quickly realized this was not the ti to be thinking about that. She got her bearings and hurried away...
