Ilya and Bai Ling have already seen the general development of events through the contract space.

Everyone knew that Qin Xiao was in a bad mood, and his attitude was also serious.

As I approached the factory, I could hear voices inside.

Qin Xiao stopped at the door.

"Hey kid, you're really slow! We're all getting annoyed waiting!"

A rough voice rang out.

Zhou Lei's voice rang out.

"I've brought the beasts you wanted, so we're even!"

"Heh! Kid, I heard you have an orange skill orb, huh? Take it out too!"

There were sounds of people moving around, about four or five, and heavy footsteps of beasts.

Zhou Lei's voice was extremely angry, "We agreed that I would give you the beasts to tame, and then we'd be even!"

"Hahaha! This kid is so adorably silly! But now the conditions have changed..."

Hand over the stuff, or you and that brat will be in for a rough time.

You wouldn't want your good brother to die before he even grows up, would you?!

Qin Xiao, expressionless, pushed open the metal door.

The sound of footsteps was faint.

The people inside looked up at the sound, and Zhou Lei trembled slightly when he saw Qin Xiao.

"Brother Xiao..."

Qin Xiao ignored him and looked coldly at the men.

"Who was it that just said I was having a hard time? Step forward and let me see."

As soon as he finished speaking, the men looked at each other and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! You little rascal, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. I couldn't persuade you before, but this is truly a gift from God."

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, behave yourself..."

Qin Xiao frowned. "Shut up!"

boom!

A violent gust of air erupted, and the lightning spear in Ilya's hand vanished in a flash.

The burly man who was speaking was pinned to the wall from a distance by the Thunder Spear. He didn't even have time to scream before he was turned into charred remains by the lightning.

Tap tap tap~

The sound of Ilya's horse's hooves echoed softly in the factory.

The ground was surging, the cement floor was breaking apart, and earthen walls were rising up and turning into rock.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining three men, along with their beasts, were imprisoned.

The burly man died, and his companions were still somewhat stunned, but his tamed beast immediately went berserk.

This is a huge, purplish-black scorpion, and it looks to be around the top-tier Silver level.

The scorpion charged forward, its stinger transforming into a black shadow as it pierced through the air.

Qin Xiao didn't move at all, standing arrogantly in place.

Ilya appeared in front of him instantly.

Central Earth (戊土)!

Lightning crackled around his arm as he caught the stabbing blow with his bare hands.

His body didn't budge an inch.

Ilya's pretty face remained indifferent as she grabbed the tail spike, raised one hand, and pierced down with the Thunder Spear.

Then, with a strong pull, he snapped the thorn off.

In the blink of an eye, the burly man and his beast both perished.

The other people in the factory were terrified, and they wanted to fight back or run away, so their expressions varied.

"Dong, here's your stuff back, let us go, or you won't have a good time!"

Several men, blustering but cowardly, gathered together and shouted loudly.

"Leave one alive."

Qin Xiao said without hesitation.

Ilya and Bai Ling immediately pounced on them.

The gigantic White Spirit pierced through them with a single claw, while Illya, in coordination with White Spirit, used her lightning spear to pierce them, turning them into charred remains.

In ten seconds, the three silver-ranked individuals and their five summoned beasts were all wiped out!

Liu Feixue stood at the door, her pupils slightly contracted, while Liu Piaoxu stared in disbelief. Even the purple-lightning sable stopped eating the squid tentacles.

Ilya controlled the power of the Thunder Spear, selecting the last person to come to Qin Xiao.

This person had been knocked unconscious by the shock of the beast's death.

"Ling'er, save her."

Qin Xiao almost lost his composure.

Zhou Lei, standing to the side, stammered, "Brother Xiao...I..."

Qin Xiao raised his hand to stop him, "You don't need to say anything, I know, but this is a one-time exception."

Zhou Lei's eyes were filled with tears, which he quietly wiped away.

Qin Xiao knew that someone must be using him to threaten Zhou Lei.

Given Zhou Lei's personality, he already felt he had gotten a huge advantage, so he would definitely be willing to take responsibility to avoid the worst-case scenario.

Bai Ling healed him, and the man slowly woke up.

"Who ordered you to do this!"

Qin Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! It's the Gu family! The Gu family hired us!"

They're about to die, so they don't care about keeping secrets anymore.

Qin Xiao frowned. Gu Jia?

Turn around, "Kill him!"

Without hesitation, Ilya unleashed a burst of lightning, and the man was electrocuted to a crisp before he could even scream.

Liu Feixue looked at Qin Xiao, who was frowning in thought, and said, "Kid, I didn't realize you were so capable."

His tone was full of admiration, and even a hint of apprehension.

Qin Xiao ignored her, and Liu Feixue said with amusement, "You killed someone."

"So what?"

Qin Xiao spoke coldly, and Ilya walked to his side, poised to strike.

Liu Piaoxu was a little confused when she saw the situation suddenly change, so she quickly stepped forward.

"Brother Qin Xiao, that's not what my sister meant."

Qin Xiao ignored her and continued to stare at Liu Feixue.

Liu Feixue showed no fear and even smiled as she spoke.

"Hey, if you take my sister into a Gold-level dungeon once, plus form a team for the college entrance exam team competition, I'll pretend this never happened, how about it?"

Upon hearing that Qin Xiao had been threatened, Zhou Lei walked over and stood beside Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Not so good. Who knows if you'll keep this secret from me for the rest of my life? I think a dead man is the safest bet."

"This kid has character, I like him. Enough nonsense, 20 million, take my sister with you! The college entrance exam qualifying rounds require four-person teams, so it doesn't matter who you take, right?"

How come we were having such a nice conversation, and suddenly we're talking about money?

Qin Xiao was also taken aback by this turn of events.

Liu Feixue looked him over with amusement.

"Kid, people die all the time outside the city. Inside the city, as long as no one investigates, no one will die."

Do a good job of destroying the evidence. I'll be your witness for the surveillance cameras on the street, and I'll guarantee you'll be fine.

Killing me wouldn't be cost-effective; you'd be in for a lot of trouble with the Night Watch's wanted posters and pursuit.

Besides, can you really kill me?

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Deal! Pay up and we'll arrange it right away!"

Liu Piaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Feixue smiled, "A wise choice!"

Wise my ass!

We shouldn't have let you get involved in this. You miscalculated. Otherwise, we might have been able to ask for an even higher price!

Qin Xiao thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Liu Feixue opened her bracelet and transferred the money directly.

Qin Xiao's bracelet beeped, and after checking, he saw that the money had been deposited into his account.

Damn it, he was certain the price was too low!

Zhou Lei glanced at Liu Feixue and then at Qin Xiao.

"So, Brother Xiao is alright now?"

Qin Xiao turned his head and slapped him on the shoulder, making him stagger.

"Damn it, you've cost me another penny! Hurry up and calm your beast down and send it back to the Beast Taming Department to be cared for!"

Zhou Lei was beaten, but he felt relieved.

The fact that Xiao Ge is still willing to hit him proves that he still loves him, hehe.

"Ling'er, set fire to it, burn it all down!"

Ling'er summoned her foxfire, "This is my specialty, Master. I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Wait, let me touch it first!"

Damn it, I almost forgot, even mosquito meat is meat!
