Chapter 144 Conquer
Old Dong was both frightened and curious as he watched the bizarre scene unfold before him, and he hesitated to even touch it...
Okay~_~ Curiosity overcame fear.
He tremblingly reached out a hand and carefully approached the spot that Wu Xie had touched.
?
What does it feel like? Cool and refreshing, a bit comfortable, a bit like...
He had tried one of those popular health and wellness centers that's been getting a lot of hype lately, called some kind of forest oxygen bar, and it kind of felt similar, but this one was so much better.
Old Dong was surprised to feel the comfort in his hand. When he looked up, he found Wu Xie looking at him with a half-smile, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
He's always presented a gloomy image, so his behavior just now seemed a bit silly...
Subconsciously rubbing his fingers, which still retained a trace of comfort, Old Dong forced a stiff smile onto his usually expressionless face.
"Young Master San~"
The shift from disdain to flattery is natural, driven by both military force and self-interest; these are the only two things that matter to them.
In fact, on this path, only a few people, like Fatty Wang, prioritize loyalty above all else.

Wu Xie beckoned behind him with his finger, and Hei Xiazi promptly handed him a dagger.
With a bewildered look on Old Dong's face, someone grabbed his wrist, a flash of silver light, and blood immediately gushed from his palm.
"You!!!" Before Old Dong could recover from Wu Xie's sudden attack, he saw Wu Xie press his hand towards the green light above the crystal.
Everyone present stared wide-eyed as the wound on Old Dong's palm healed rapidly under the green light, visible to the naked eye.
"Fuck!!"
I don't know which guy couldn't keep his mouth shut, but he blurted out "Holy crap!" and everyone else had the same shocked look on their faces.
Hei Xiazi, who had just secretly applied a tiny bit of a special healing medicine from the cultivation world to his dagger, kept his merit hidden.
Wu Xie released Lao Dong's hand and carefully put the glass cover back on before smiling and looking at everyone.
"how?"
With just a few simple words, everyone present felt their hearts race, including those whose trouser legs were still stained with blood. They stared intently at Wu Xie, their breathing heavy.
The question "How?" reflects the strength he has demonstrated to them, as well as the benefits he has offered.
Now is the time for them to make a decision: surrender and get the scraps, or continue to cling to those meager, uncertain benefits.
This choice is not difficult to make.
"Young Master, the buying and selling at our branch has been quite frequent these past few months, and the accounts haven't been handled properly, which is why it's been so long. It should be almost done by tomorrow. Do you have time tomorrow so I can come and settle the accounts?"
Hongmei was the first to speak, and she gave a reason for her behavior over the past few months that was so simple it wouldn't fool anyone, but it was something she could say.
"Yes, yes, the brothers working on the ground have suffered some losses recently. All the cash on hand has been distributed as compensation. We haven't finished processing the goods yet. Little Third Master, please give me some more time. I'll send the accounts over tomorrow."
Although Ma Gan'er was the first to kneel down, he was also fortunate to be the least injured. Compared to the others, whose injuries seemed to be bullets embedded in their flesh, he actually felt okay after recovering.
He didn't dare to get up, so he crawled a few steps on his knees, smiling obsequiously, perfectly embodying the image of a lapdog in Uncle Kuan's eyes.
"Young Master, I, the Seventh Brother, am not one to mince words. What happened before was due to my ignorance and greed. I accept the punishment. If you need anything in the future, just say the word, and I will do my best without hesitation."
Tian Laoqi slapped his chest with his big hands, making a loud thud, displaying an attitude of an honest man who would correct his mistakes and accept punishment.
The two who had just made up their reasons for expressing their stance suddenly changed their expressions, realizing something was wrong; this old schemer was using this trick again.
I've seen plenty of green tea bitches, but a real "manly" green tea bitch is a rare find. You think you're so honest?! You think you're so loyal?! You think you're wrong?! And you think changing you makes you look good?!
Su Li watched the show with her eyes glazed over, looking like she had learned something new, which made Zhang Qiling, who was behind her, almost lose her aloof expression.
Hei Xiazi stared at the bald, honest-looking man from head to toe and fell into deep thought. It seems that Hei Ye's skin isn't thick enough yet!
Hmm! Needs improvement! Keep it up, Xiaxia! You can do it!!!
Zhang Qiling: …
Old Dong was speechless, seeing that he was the first to experience it but the last to express his opinion. These guys were all more cunning than honeycomb briquettes.
However, seeing the other two being dragged down by Tian Laoqi, he certainly wouldn't come up with any more ridiculous reasons to highlight Tian Laoqi's 'pure and flawless' image.
"Young Master, we entered this business to make money. We'll respect whoever helps us get rich. Please draw a line for what happened before, and we'll do what the rules dictate!"
"Look at this treasure...would you like to tell me more about it?"
Thinking of that exceptionally comfortable sensation and that magical ability, he was suddenly filled with boundless hope. This thing might actually be very useful to him!
He's not gloomy at all; if his wish came true, he'd be a sunny and cheerful young man!
Hongmei & Maganer: I have a few words of sarcasm I don't know if I should say.
Wu Xie paid no attention to their complicated emotions of wanting to fight each other in private, and carefully held the crystal ball in her hands.
"I recently discovered this in an ancient tomb in an unnamed small country. According to the records, it was a gift from a country that was on friendly terms with that dynasty."
"Is...is this the only one?"
Old Dong asked impatiently.
If the item were scarce or had any restrictions, Young Master San probably wouldn't bring it up. Right now, he's really getting impatient and desperately wants to know all the information immediately.
Few people know that when he was young, he almost lost his life during a tomb raiding expedition. He survived with great difficulty and recovered his health, but his body was ruined.
At the prime of his youth, and already involved in this kind of life with no moral compass, this blow was enormous, and from then on, he remained in a gloomy and somber state.
Over the years, he had tried various treatments, trying whatever he heard was good for his health. Now, with such a miraculous treasure right in front of him, and the opportunity to experience it firsthand, how could he not be tempted?
"Of course there's only one in that bucket..."
Old Dong listened intently, waiting for Wu Xie to continue. They were all too familiar with this suspenseful tone; it was practically a direct copy of Wu Sansheng's.
Wuxie: ...
Damn... I didn't manage to install it...
