After everyone had searched around, the news that came back was all bad; they really couldn't get in touch with Sister Wang.
At this moment, Xuan Jian sent me a message confirming that it was the Zuo family's revenge, but they were all ordinary people.
There wasn't even a martial artist among them. After hearing that, I understood. These were the people sent by the Zuo sisters.
The Zuo family didn't send anyone, but they were practically asking for trouble by messing with Sister Wang.
Just as I was about to say something, the kidnappers called. These guys are pretty smart.
They're pretending to be local thugs. They see I've been flaunting my wealth these past few days and want to kidnap someone to extort some money.
If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have really been fooled. The story was actually quite plausible.
They said on the phone that I should come and pay the money alone, and they asked for a million dollars, which I agreed to without haggling.
They didn't tell me to prepare money, and I never intended to pay any. I went there to kill someone.
Without asking anyone else, he found a motorcycle and set off.
They didn't go to any agreed-upon location; they went straight to the place where Sister Wang was being held.
It was a small mountain village with very difficult roads; the last section was so bad that even a motorcycle couldn't go any further.
I abandoned my motorcycle and searched all the way up. When I finally found Sister Wang...
There were only two people left guarding Sister Wang in the room. When I arrived, the two guards were even fighting amongst themselves.
One man wanted to rape Sister Wang before killing her, while the other thought it was unethical and argued that if she wanted to kill him, he should just kill her directly.
But rape is a different story.
I arrived just as the two were arguing, and without saying a word, I killed the one who was trying to harm Sister Wang.
The last one was ruthless too; without even looking, he raised his hand and fired, a five-round burst of shotgun blasts wiping out a large area.
However, when gangs fight, they deliberately reduce the amount of gunpowder in the bullets, because being in the underworld is about ruthlessness.
It wasn't about killing people. In the Divine Continent, causing death and not causing death are two different things.
Ordinary people generally cannot afford to take the blame for cases involving the death of a person.
If we martial artists cause a death, we're the ones who bear the consequences; the police don't come after us.
However, if the other party has relatives, friends, or a sect, they might come looking for revenge.
At that point, it'll all come down to individual ability. If you indiscriminately kill innocent people, righteous individuals will come to your rescue.
Ultimately, it all comes down to ability.
Sister Wang has been with me for so long that she's gotten a bit cheeky; she was quite startled when she heard the gunshot.
But she remained relatively calm, knowing that there was nothing she could do and resigning herself to fate.
If I care about her, that's fine; if I ignore her, there's nothing she can do.
So her mental state was okay, she was very calm, but after I let her go, she still hugged me and cried a lot.
After the kidnapper fired a shot and saw that I was unharmed, he realized he had encountered a martial artist.
He couldn't run away anymore, so he put down his gun and squatted down to the side. I was comforting Sister Wang and didn't pay any attention to him.
Sister Wang had a good cry. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still very moved to see that I had really come to save her.
Sister Wang has such a strong mentality; no wonder she's the eldest sister who raised two younger brothers from a young age.
After crying for a while, I managed to calm her down. Seeing that she had stabilized a bit, I went back to deal with the kidnapper.
He turned around and asked, "Hey, what's your name?"
The kidnapper returned; "Change."
He didn't say a word more, answering only the questions asked. I remained silent for a while.
I gave him a phone number.
He said, "I'll give you a chance. I won't kill you this time. If you can't make it in the future, just give me a call. I still think you're quite pleasing to the eye."
The man with the loose change looked up at me but didn't say anything. I took out a phone and called Ermin to let him know I was safe.
I also told him to take care of these people; it was a test, I suppose.
I told him how many people there were, and then it was up to him.
