Chapter 10: Young Master Fengs Sabre
“Oh god! Five hundred coins!”
Old Man Luo lost his wit; his strengthless body laid on the floor, and he started begging:
“Master Wu, I’m only a small-time business owner. I don’t have five hundred coins to give you. All I have, right now, is one hundred and forty three coins. I will offer all of it to you. The rest of the amount, I will be able to pay next month.”
Normally, Boss Wu would let this go; however, this was before he had received the order from Feng Suiyu, so he couldn’t just ignore this. The reason Boss Wu could terrorize Spirit State City was because he had the backings of both the government and the underground world. San Ye was his dark backer while Feng Suiyu was his political supporter. This was why, with the exception of very few people in Spirit State City, he could do anything without fear of repercussion.
Boss Wu smirked, stroked his beard, and he then said:
“Old Man Luo, the truth is, five hundred coins aren’t a big amount. If you sell your granddaughter to the brothel, you would get at least thirty thousand coins...”
Not waiting for Boss Wu to finish his sentence, Old Man Luo dropped to the floor, grabbing Wu’s legs, and he begged:
“Boss Wu, please don’t joke about this. Yuer is only fourteen, and she can’t be sold; she can’t be sold!”
Old Man Luo was living at the bottom of society, and he had no power; besides kneeling to beg, there was nothing else he could do to save his granddaughter.
Boss Wu, exasperated, kicked Old Man Luo away, and he then walked inside the tea shop with his fierce beast. At this moment, Xiao Yuer ran out from inside, and she threw a gold coin toward Boss Wu.
“Here is your money; don’t hurt my grandfather.”
Yuer quickly lifted her grandfather up from the ground.
