Chapter 70 Lu Chenan: I don’t want four things from money

Cape City, west of the city, in a dim alley.

"You called me here so urgently. Is it done?"

The burly man wearing a bamboo hat had a hint of joy on his face. After waiting for almost three months, there was finally a result.

The news of the destruction of the Iron Blood Pirates was only limited to Feiyan Port. It would take some time for it to spread throughout Cape City. He had not received the news yet.

"Of course!"

"Why else would I ask you to come here?"

The young man in black stepped out from the shadows and said with certainty.

"Very good……"

puff……

The burly man's face was filled with joy, but before he could finish his words, a dagger pierced his heart.

"why?"

The burly man widened his eyes. The severe pain in his heart made him feel extremely absurd.

The reason why he was defenseless was because he knew that the Iron Blood Pirates still needed him and he was still useful, so he was absolutely safe.

But why?
The young man in black let go of the dagger, took a step back, retreated into the shadows again, and disappeared.

If the heart is pierced, even a warrior in the Bone Tempering Realm will surely die.

poof...

The sound of a body falling could be heard in the alley behind him.

The burly man never understood until his death why the Iron Blood Pirates suddenly attacked him.

The young man in black sneered, thinking that the other party might think that the matter was done very secretly.

News has come from home that the captain was set up and killed by people from the Lu family.

Apart from him and Saladin, only this burly man knew about this matter. He did not leak the secret, and it was even less likely for the captain. So there was only one possibility, that is, this burly man betrayed the Iron-Blooded Pirates.

This guy must have sold the Iron Blood Pirates for a good price!

The young man in black thought bitterly, after betraying them, he still wanted to get away with it. There is no such good thing in the world.

He quickly shuttled through the shadows of the alleys. Now that the Iron Blood Pirates were destroyed, many relationships in Cape City would become hidden dangers. He had to leave Cape City quickly.

……

In the west of the city, in a small courtyard with three entrances, in the front yard, a handsome man was waving a long sword in his hand wantonly. His every move was like an endless wave of the sea, one after another, and each wave was higher than the other, and the momentum was becoming more and more majestic.

Even the trees in the courtyard were shaking slightly, as if they were afraid of this terrifying blow.

After dozens of breaths, the man put away his sword and stood up, panting.

Although he was tired, his face was full of joy.

It’s done, the Crazy Shark Sword Technique is finally done!
Lu Chenan laughed happily.

A few months ago, he had just broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm and was invited to hunt down a bounty-listed villain. Unexpectedly, he got off to a bad start and not only was he unable to help, but in the end he even witnessed a shocking blow from the sword.

This was a huge blow to him. As both of them used knives, he could feel the huge gap between himself and the other party.

It turned out that the Crazy Shark Sword Skill that he had always been proud of was nothing more than a trivial skill.

So he had been practicing sword skills attentively in Cape City these days. After several months of hard training, plus decades of accumulation, he actually improved his Crazy Shark sword skills to a higher level, reaching the realm of endless sword power and the next wave pushing the previous wave forward.

If I meet the crazy shark again now, I might be able to kill him instantly with one sword!

Even if he met that mysterious master, he was confident that he would not lose.

Lu Chenan's self-confidence returned to him again, and coupled with his good looks, he really stood out from the crowd with an extraordinary temperament.

Cao Ze, who was wearing black clothes and a cloak, scratched his head. He didn't know what Lu Chenan was talking about. Why did he suddenly laugh like a fool? Was it because his outfit was funny?

cough cough...

However, he still decided to cough to remind Lu Chenan.

Lu Chenan turned around instantly, his hairs standing on end, and his back felt like it was pricked by needles. Seeing the man in black suddenly appearing in the yard, he was horrified, "When did he come here?"

"Who is he?"

"What do you want to find me for?"

"If the other party had attacked me just now, I might have died."

Although it was hard to accept, Lu Chenan had to come to this conclusion.

The confidence he had just rebuilt was shattered once again.

"Don't be nervous. I came to you to make a deal with you."

Cao Ze saw that Lu Chenan was facing a formidable enemy, so he stretched out his hands to indicate that he had no hostility, then took out three black bags from behind and threw them at Lu Chenan.

"These three heads are worth three thousand taels of silver. Just give me two thousand five hundred taels."

Although he didn't know what the four major families' attitude towards him was now, Cao Ze didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being. If he went directly to the Anti-Theft Bureau to collect the bounty, his identity would certainly be revealed.

Therefore, coming to Lu Chenan and earning five hundred taels less silver can save you a lot of trouble.

"Robbery?"

Lu Chenan couldn't believe that three packages of such small things could be worth three thousand taels of silver, and subconsciously thought that the other party was blackmailing him.

Doing this in Cape City is really bold!
However, he couldn't help his curiosity and used his long knife to pick open the cloth of one of the bundles. A strong smell of blood hit him in the face, and inside was a human head that was cut in half.

"Saladin!"

Soon, Lu Chenan, a bounty hunter, recognized whose head it was.

So what are in the two packages next to it?

Lu Chenan opened the other two packages again and naturally recognized the owners of the two heads at a glance.

He looked at Cao Ze again, who was wearing a cloak and a black robe, and was horrified, "Is this guy from the Iron Blood Pirates that was wiped out?"

No wonder the other party claimed that these three packages were worth three thousand taels of silver!

It turned out that the other party was not here to rob.

But why doesn’t the other party go and claim the bounty himself?
Lu Chenan was very hesitant, thinking that there must be some trick. How could he make five hundred taels of silver for free without doing anything?

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Well, thinking back, it seemed like he had made a fortune just a few months ago.

But one can't always be so lucky, and what's more, he was always ready to return the five hundred taels.

"Give me two thousand five hundred taels of silver, and these three heads will be yours."

Seeing that Lu Chenan's eyes were constantly moving and no one knew what he was thinking, Cao Ze didn't want to wait any longer and reminded him.

Lu Chenan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Threat!

This must be a threat!

Only then did he remember that the other party was a ruthless person who could wipe out the Iron Blood Pirates. Now he was at the mercy of others and had no choice.

I have just made a breakthrough in my swordsmanship, so why am I still completely powerless to fight back?
Lu Chenan felt very aggrieved.

But he answered straightforwardly, "I only have two thousand taels of silver..."

"How about you try finding someone else?"

he asked tentatively.

"Two thousand taels is two thousand taels!"

Cao Ze agreed immediately, "I'll keep the remaining five hundred taels with you for now, and I'll come back to get it next time."

I have already given up 500 taels of silver. It would be impolite to give up more.

However, it can be predicted that Lu Chenan's handing over the heads of Saladin and the other two will definitely cause some sensation, and he will not come to Lu Chenan to ask for silver in the short term.
