Old Xu Seven’s face lit up with joy the moment Pei Jinye appeared, and he quickly looked to his eldest brother.

He recognized Pei Jinye.

Although Pei Jinye was now wearing a hat and a mask, his clothes were still the same as at noon, and he could tell!

The Eldest Brother of the Xu Family, having just gone through shock and anger, was still able to maintain a bit of composure. He looked at Pei Jinye with surprise and uncertainty, unable to determine what made Pei Jinye exceptional at a glance.

It was the Bald Guy who, after seeing Pei Jinye, sneered at the Xu Family brothers and said, “I thought you had some actual skills. Is this the help you called for?”

He had thought the other party had brought in some big shot from the city hall, or maybe a big boss from this neighborhood.

But it turned out to be just an unfamiliar person who hadn’t been met before and didn’t dare to show their true face.

This slight frame probably wouldn’t survive even one of his punches.

“Did you bring the money I asked for?”

Pei Jinye ignored the Bald Guy, his gaze falling on the Xu Family brothers.

“We brought it,” Old Xu Seven hastily said, gesturing to the two black bags in his hand, “every penny of it.”

Pei Jinye nodded, calmly turning his gaze to the Bald Guy.

He looked with interest at the thugs armed with machetes in front of him.

“Is this your problem?”

The Eldest Brother of the Xu Family hesitated, as if he wanted to speak, but it was Old Xu Seven who crisply said, “It’s them. The money from the supplier was supposed to be ours, but these Black Mountain Association bastards took it, and now they’re demanding we cough up the supplier’s previous payments too. There’s no reason in this world for that.”

Pei Jinye nodded, “I agree with that.”

He turned his head to the Bald Guy, “You spit out the money, and I’ll let you leave alive.”

The Bald Guy burst into laughter on the spot after hearing this.

Pei Jinye, too, smiled.

He stretched out his hand.

With a “snap,” he turned off the light.

Darkness enveloped the room instantly.

The moment it went pitch-black before the Bald Guy’s eyes, his left cheek suddenly caved in, and several teeth mixed with blood shot out of his mouth in a spinning motion.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

A series of dull sounds followed in quick succession.

The entire hall of the shop fell deadly silent.

The Xu Family brothers were still standing in place, frozen, not daring to move.

In the dimly lit room, they could vaguely see shadows flying about.

The piercing sound of tables and chairs being knocked over was like a blood-pumping BGM resounding through the night; the Xu Family brothers were as shocked as they were scared out of their wits!

This man… was incredibly strong!

“Snap!”

The lights came back on.

The bright flash of the incandescent lamp caused the Xu Family brothers to instinctively raise their hands to shield their eyes.

They slowly opened their eyes… and then their eyes bulged in disbelief.

The Bald Guy, who had just appeared invincible, was now laying on the ground with a swollen nose and bruised face, and the mysterious helper, who had been there for less than a minute, stood with an umbrella bloody at the tip…

Pei Jinye, as if oblivious to all this, walked forward; the sharp point of the umbrella landed on the Bald Guy’s face, “You don’t have the right to negotiate with me. Return the money to its rightful owner, it’s easier for you and for me.”

“You’re… a Transcendent,” the Bald Guy spoke with difficulty, but his eyes were filled with shock and anger.

Pei Jinye looked down at him with authority, “You’re not convinced?”

The Bald Guy’s mouth bled as he cautiously avoided Pei Jinye’s gaze, “I’m convinced… but this isn’t my doing, I’m just a lackey running errands. The real person wanting the money is my boss behind the scenes…”

Pei Jinye frowned.

Troublesome.

He prodded him with the umbrella, “Call him now and tell him.”

The Bald Guy didn’t dare refuse; in front of everyone, he made the call to his boss and put it on speakerphone.

“Did you get the money?” A hoarse voice came from the other end of the call.

The Bald Guy mumbled unclearly, “Haven’t got it. Boss Xu brought in a Transcendent to intervene, and we all got dealt with. He’s right beside me…”

The man at the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback.

Pei Jinye took the phone and said blandly, “I don’t care about the mess you’ve made, but I’m handling this matter today. Either spit out the money, or I’ll come replace you.”

The other party seemed flustered for a moment, “You are…”

“Where are you now?” Pei Jinye didn’t give the person any time to be courteous.

This blunt approach, as if he were about to show up the next second to take matters into his own hands, made the other party hurriedly say, “There’s a misunderstanding, Elder. I’ll return Zhuang Old Six’s money right away, as a sign of respect to you. Old Wei, consider tonight’s issue with the Xu Family resolved.”

“I understand, Boss Cai.”

The call ended.

The bald guy looked toward Pei Jinye with wariness.

Pei Jinye ignored him and walked indifferently to Old Xu Seven, reaching out his hand.

Old Xu Seven was startled.

Coming to his senses, he hurriedly handed over the two packages with utmost respect, “Would you like to count them?”

“No need,” Pei Jinye said offhandedly.

There was no intention to make threats.

If the Xu Family Brothers were smart, they definitely wouldn’t dare to play any tricks after seeing the fate of the bald guy and his crew.

Because the chasm between ordinary people and Transcendents was simply insurmountable!

Soon, the Eldest Brother of the Xu Family got a phone call.

It was from the company’s finance department.

“Boss, the money has been transferred,” they said.

The Eldest Brother of the Xu Family’s face lit up with joy, “Esteemed senior—”

Pei Jinye interrupted, “No need for thanks. You pay, I do the job, and now we’re even.”

After saying that,

he picked up the packages and headed for the door, his umbrella flaring open as he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

A awkward silence descended upon the interior of the food stall.

Pei Jinye couldn’t care less about what the other party wanted to do.

Nor did he have any intention of forming a close relationship.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered to disguise himself.

Now that he had given thirty thousand to his parents, and had an additional seven hundred thousand on his hands, it was time to buy some Blood Spirit Fruit to have on standby.

Sun San was utterly dumbfounded.

He hadn’t received any message from Pei Jinye.

It wasn’t until he got a call from the Eldest Brother of the Xu Family that he realized everything had been settled.

“Brother Sun, just who is that person?” the Eldest Brother of the Xu Family asked, his mind straying in other directions.

Sun San’s heart clenched.

Being able to know Pei Jinye, although it began with a misunderstanding, this was now his only chance to cling to a powerful figure, and he had no intention of giving it up.

He deliberately spoke with cryptic depth, “Old Xu, it’s not that I don’t want to say, but that person made it clear that the matter was to end here.”

“I can’t even meet him?” Eldest Brother Xu said gravely.

Sun San’s eyes shifted, “Old Xu, if that person wanted to, why would you be calling me now? Even I don’t dare to disturb him rashly.”

The Eldest Brother of the Xu Family sighed internally and had to let it go for now.

Meanwhile, inside a clubhouse.

The bald guy, with a group of brothers sporting bruised noses and swollen faces, appeared before Boss Cai.

“You went that hard?” Boss Cai tensed up inside, “What’s their background?”

The bald guy shook his head, “The person was wearing a mask and refused to show their face.”

“Doesn’t want to show their face?” Boss Cai’s brow furrowed, “What ability do they have?”

“I don’t know…” the bald guy said quietly, his head hanging low.

Boss Cai’s eyebrows shot up.

The bald guy quickly explained, “Suddenly, he turned off the lights, and then…I was sent flying without seeing anything. It wasn’t strength-related, maybe something to do with attack speed… Boss, are you thinking of retaliating against him?”

“Retaliate my ass. I’m an ordinary person. Why the hell would I go looking for trouble with a Transcendent? We’d all end up dead if we can’t take him down!” Boss Cai said irritably, but then he asked again, “Was it someone from the Xu Family’s side?”

The bald guy quickly said after remembering something, “No, I overheard their conversation… it seemed like the Xu Family sought out a relationship to invite this person to maintain order. It seemed like the person didn’t want to get involved with them.”

Boss Cai’s eyes lit up, “As long as that person is willing to take money, that’s easy to work with. There’s nothing Boss Cai is less short of than money. If we could forge a good relationship with that Transcendent, our Black Mountain Association’s business could surely double!”

He then took out several bundles of money and indicated, “Take the brothers to get their injuries checked. The rest of the money is to be divided among you; let’s consider tonight’s incident closed.”

The bald guy was instantly moved to gratitude.

Boss Cai waved dismissively, his mind preoccupied with how to get in touch with that mysterious Transcendent.

At the same time.

Pei Jinye was using his Shadow Ability, rushing swiftly through the night.

After stashing the two money bags back at home,

he finally arrived at the Red Rose Bar just as the rain started to pour harder.
