Chapter 86 - 85: Questioning to the End and Killing in One Go
"Think it through before you speak again. Of course, you could also try calling for help. Let’s see if you can speak faster than I can move my hand."
Jiang Shu’s hand relaxed, and Zhou Yang’s corpse slumped to the ground. The air in the room seemed to freeze. His voice was soft yet carried an icy murderous intent. He was no longer the youth who had just entered Pingling County without even Qi Blood Sensing. In less than a year, he had transformed from an ordinary person into an Iron Skin Realm Martial Artist. Apart from a few experts in the Bone Forging Realm, no one in Pingling County could stop him now!
With an aura like a tiger, Jiang Shu sat on the sandalwood chair.
"I... I also have a few thousand silver notes stored at the Yao Family Restaurant. I’m a regular at Skylark Square; I always run a tab there... I don’t carry money on me."
Yao Wenbai took a couple of deep breaths to suppress his inner terror. Beneath him, the unconscious girl from Skylark Square slumped, her head lolling to the side. His own unsightly, diminutive manhood was exposed.
To have climbed to his current position from being a mere concubine’s son was certainly related to his mother’s favor. But he himself was no true profligate. When he saw this nameless Martial Artist choke Zhou Yang to death without batting an eye, he knew the best thing for him right now was to be utterly obedient and compliant. Nothing was more important than his own life!
"Not enough."
Jiang Shu’s words were concise. He was timing things in his mind. Skylark Square was crowded and heavily watched. From the time he came upstairs until now, a little less than half an hour had passed. In another half an hour, girls should be arriving at his room. He needed to speed up.
"Besides these few thousand silver notes, let’s add some questions. I’ll ask, you’ll answer. What Cultivation Techniques does the Yao Family possess?"
"’Black Panther Savage Strength.’ Our Yao Family’s Martial Artists are typically about twenty to thirty percent stronger than those practicing average Cultivation Techniques. This is our family’s core technique. I’m not very clear about others; after all, I’m not a Martial Artist and haven’t been to the Hidden Technique Pavilion. Such a technique is beyond my reach. Even if I became a Martial Artist, the only techniques I could obtain would be at the Skin Grinding Realm, which wouldn’t be very useful to you. Silver notes are more practical. If you think a few thousand silver notes aren’t enough, my mother also has some pearls and gems I could get for you."
