Forbidden Zone of the Human Race - Chapter 441: No, Please Don't!
Ye Ming and Ye Xuan were in utter shock when they heard Ye Lingling. But before they could speak, the debt collector snickered, “Hehe, I think you’re overestimating your own value. How much do you think you’re worth?” They would have been willing to talk in the past, but right now, between Ye Lingling and the sweetsop, it was clear which was more important to them.
The men pressed closer and closer as Ye Lingling clenched her teeth. “This is a hospital.”
“Hehe, so what if it’s a hospital? I’m here to visit the patient, I used to be great friends with your mother! How could we let her children feed her random food? Right, guys?”
“Hahaha, yeah, it’s no good for her.”
“Let us check the food then, and we’ll definitely give it back afterward.”
“You guys crossed the line!” Ye Ming’s expression darkened and the fierceness in his eyes made the debt collectors’ chests tighten. But they were in the right—they were there to collect the money they were owed!
“Hehe, Ye Lingling. I won’t beat around the bush. We’re in the right here, since you owe us money and you aren’t paying us back. When you were in trouble, we lent you money. Now that you’re able to pay it back, and even have money left over, you can use that remaining cash to treat your mother. If you let her eat the sweetsop, we don’t even know if she’ll wake. And your debt will only continue accumulating.”
“Of course, of course. You’re right, you’re just asking for your money back. Hey, leader, come scan my code here. Of course we’ve got to give your money back, right?” Xiang Ning’s laughter came from the back, then, much to their surprise, he shoved five men aside. “Excuse me, thank you for letting me through.”
Since Xiang Ning had made the first move, they wanted to retaliate, but Xiang Ning grabbed them like they were little chicks. To their horror, they realized that they couldn’t move; it was as if they were being flattened by a boulder.
The leader’s face fell. He recognized that person—Ye Lingling’s newly recruited teammate from yesterday. He was that strong?
“Xiang Ning, why’re you here?” Ye Lingling was surprised. Weren’t they supposed to go their separate ways after splitting the sweetsops?
“Come, I’ll scan your code and send you the money.” He cocked an eyebrow and she held out her hand in a daze.
Five seconds later.
“Message from Federation Bank. Funds received, 100 million dollars.”
“Hahaha? What? What did I hear? One dollar?”
“Are you deaf? It’s a hundred million!”
Ye Lingling stuttered, “Y-you.…”
“That’s the money for the sweetsop, and I’m also here to visit your mother. I’m sure you guys have things to talk about, so I won’t intrude.” Xiang Ning chuckled, then turned to the debt collectors. “This is a sick ward, and it’s immoral to disturb patients. You should take this outside.” He glanced at the leader, who felt goosebumps all over his body.
This is no ordinary person, he must be a very experienced fighter. He had only felt this terrifying presence on powerful masters, and he felt like he had been completely seen through.
“Right, right, right. Let’s take this outside. Outside.”
Ye Lingling and the men left the ward and the leader gave Xiang Ning a long look. While he had been calm as water since the beginning, a terrifying shadow clung to him. Since when had Kunlun City had such a powerful visitor? But he was so young. How was it possible to be so powerful, yet so young? Then again, with today’s technology, anti-aging procedures and plastic surgery might get the job done.
Xiang Ning was unaware of their various speculations, and even if he knew, he would just smile without a word.
Looking at the lady on the bed, he recalled what Bo Yan had told him yesterday. He shook his head and sighed, expanding his Mental Power to envelope the lady’s brain. Ten minutes later, his eyes sprang open and he frowned. Vegetative state? The surface level brain activity he had detected was too low, even lower than a person in deep sleep. She was already half-dead.
Comatose states like that were present hundreds of years ago, but up to this day, they still couldn’t treat them, as the brain was the most complex organ in the human body. There were still many mysteries yet to be solved.
He wasn’t sure if the sweetsop could bring her back to life.
The negotiation between Ye Lingling and the debt collectors went smoothly, and very quickly, since the debt collectors got the money they wanted, they were at a hospital and there was a boss—Xiang Ning—present. So they didn’t dare pull anything either.
The door opened. Ye Lingling and her two brothers walked up to Xiang Ning and deeply bowed. “Thank you.”
Xiang Ning graciously accepted their thanks, and he knew they would feel better if he did too. The sum he heard she owed wasn’t a small one.
“Xiang Ning, here’s your money back. Thank you, I’ll continue repaying you in the future,” said Ye Lingling, grateful.
When he saw that she had returned fifty million dollars to him, he nodded. “As I said, four people, two sweetsops. I’m just here to return the money that was yours. If there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself.” Although he left the ward, he stood outside and waited. Five minutes later, he heard a huge commotion inside like doctors rushing around and tears of extreme joy, then he finally left. After he left the hospital, he turned a corner and six people surrounded him.
What a familiar sight.
“Kid, you’re new here, we can’t have you acting like you own the place with that bit of strength.”
“Alright, I know what you’re going to say. That’s enough, or I’ll get irritated.” Xiang Ning shushed them with a finger on his lips and smiled.
That triggered the rest of the group.
They were the wolves, and he was the sheep.… Or so they thought.
“Let me go! Let me go! We’re from the Dancing Dragon Guild!”
“What? No, no, fuck, are you that perverted?”
“Save me! Save me! No, no, don’t take it off!”
“Fuck, I dare you to touch me! …Ahhhh!”
Fury Points +245
Fury Points +234
Fury Points +256
…
Several cries of agony sounded. Every passerby, startled, turned and left without even calling the cops. These things weren’t unheard of in Kunlun City; as long as he didn’t kill anyone, he would get out unscathed.
“Hehe, that’s so few Fury Points! I haven’t had enough yet!” The Dancing Dragon Guild members were stripped of their clothing. Coincidentally, he had spent most of his Fury Points helping Dong Qianyi and Chen Tianhua finish their research on dimensional travel technology and the battleship engine, so this was an excellent chance to replenish his points.
