Last Totem Novel - Chapter 305
Chapter 305 Receipt
“Xin Yun, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
At this moment, Mother Ye’s voice came from outside the door, as if she was alarmed by Ye Xinyun’s cry just now.
“Tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, at the south gate of Sand City.” The mercenary quickly jumped onto the desk and flipped out of the window.
Ye Xinyun was immediately shocked. This was the ninth floor! He hurriedly rushed forward and stretched his neck to look out of the window. However, it was pitch black outside. Apart from the scattered lights on the ground, the mercenaries were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never appeared before.
“Xin Yun? What are you looking at?” Mother Ye pushed the door open and came in. She saw her son looking out the window with both hands. She asked.
“Mom, there was a Sand Peak flying in just now …” Ye Xinyun turned around and gestured, “There was such a big one that I chased away.”
Ye Xinyun’s head was covered in sweat as soon as Mother Ye opened her mouth, “You’re not young anymore. You’re always shocked. Learn from your sister. How can you get a wife when you’re so young? Look at your sister, she’s never been afraid of the world since she was young …”
“Mom, I understand.” “What do you know? At your age, your sister has already joined the mercenary corps. How powerful is it to fight with others everywhere?”
After nagging for a long time, Mother Ye left the room. After Mother Ye left, Ye Xinyun took a bath with her clothes and lay on the bed hesitating whether to tell her mother about her sister. After some thought, he decided not to say anything for the time being, because the appearance of this mercenary was somewhat strange, and he did not bring his sister’s letter, so he was unable to confirm the authenticity of the news.
After a while, he thought, perhaps because his sister’s work needed to be kept a secret, he couldn’t leave behind any handwriting or anything. He remembered that his sister had once said that she was doing confidential work, similar to “undercover” and “spies”, and that she could not let her family know her whereabouts, so as to avoid being implicated.
“Has elder sister already left the Blackstone Mercenary Group and joined a larger organization?” He thought about it and a burnout silently assaulted him. He fell asleep not long after.
The next morning, Ye Xinyun got up early. After putting on his school uniform and school bag, he stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth and went out the door. After leaving, he did not return to school as usual, but went to the south gate of Sand City.
An hour later …
It was eight o’clock in the morning when Ye Xinyun arrived at the south gate of Sand City. Along the way, there were very few pedestrians because of the factory area nearby and the shift change time that was not yet nine o’clock in the morning and evening. Only a few scattered cleaners waved their brooms in the dawn, bringing with them bursts of black ash.
After observing for a while, he found a stranger wearing a gray cloth robe that covered his appearance standing under the factory wall and walked over.
Just as he was about to ask, the man spoke first.
“Take me to see that Dewey.” The gray-robed man raised his hand and ordered, his tone unquestionable. From the sound of it, it was the mercenary who appeared in his room last night and called himself “Tie Zha”. However, judging from the other party’s figure, it was very different. The mercenary from last night was well-proportioned and capable, but the gray-robed man today was somewhat sturdy. Whether it was his shoulders, arms, or waist, it was as if he had grown thicker by a circle, and his movements had slowed down a bit.
“I’m wearing equipment today.” The mercenary explained as if he could see through his doubts.
“Equipment? Power armor?” Ye Xinyun asked in surprise.
“Yes.” The other party nodded and didn’t say anything else.
“Why … Why are you looking for Dewey?” Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Ye Xin Yun did not dare to ask further. Then, she thought for a moment and asked.
“Pay back the money your sister owes.” The mercenary said.
“Are you my brother-in-law?” Ye Xin Yun’s mind suddenly flashed, for some reason, she blurted out this sentence.
“Uh” The mercenary seemed to choke on his words.
Seeing this, Ye Xinyun couldn’t help but reveal a disappointed expression.
At this moment, Tie Zha, who was hiding in his grey robe, looked at his familiar face and his heart quietly stirred. Then, he sighed and said, “Sort of.”
“Sort of?” Hearing the ambiguous words, Ye Xinyun frowned and said somewhat unhappily, “Are you playing with my sister? Why is it just’sort of ‘?”
“I don’t like to talk nonsense. Let’s go.” Tie Zha said in a deep voice.
“Alright” Ye Xinyun lowered her head and said. Following that, the two of them walked towards the depths of the factory area one after another, and did not interact with each other along the way.
About an hour and a half later, the two arrived at an abandoned factory on the northern edge of the city. There were rusty iron sheets and iron shelves everywhere, and the ground was covered with a layer of dark red rust. It was a desolate and dilapidated scene.
“Let’s see who’s here!” As soon as the two of them entered the factory, a tall and thin young man noticed them and shouted loudly.
“Ye Xinyun, you’ve figured it out” Du Wei, who was sitting on the old sofa, stood up. However, halfway through his words, he saw a stranger dressed in a grey robe beside Ye Xinyun. His face darkened and he smiled. “Oh? You found some help? You’re really not simple!”
“No.” Ye Xinyun replied cowardly.
“Ye Xinyun, you’re not the one looking for death. Do you know who Brother Bao is?” Dewey frowned and threatened.
“Take me to see that leopard.” Just as Ye Xinyun was about to deny it, the grey-robed man interrupted, his tone extremely calm.
“Who are you and what are you? Do you know who you’re talking to?” Dewey pointed at the gray-robed man and said arrogantly. His cousin was the captain of the Blackstone Mercenary Corps, and he was also a member of the periphery of the Blackstone Mercenary Corps. No one dared to provoke him in this area.
At this moment, the gray-robed man raised his foot and suddenly stopped!
Dong! With a loud explosion, the originally cracked concrete ground instantly shattered. Countless cement fragments shot out, causing the two people in front to howl and cry. Blood splashed everywhere. In the blink of an eye, their entire bodies were stained with blood and they were lying on the ground begging for mercy.
Looking at the exaggerated scene in front of her, Ye Xin Yun couldn’t help but widen her eyes. He knew that this person was strong, but he didn’t know that he was so strong that he subdued the two of them with just a single kick.
Du Wei, who was covered in blood, immediately struggled to get up and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, “Big brother … I’m sorry … We were wrong … I’ll bring you right away … Immediately …” The gray-robed man in front of him wouldn’t be harder to kill than to crush an ant. To such a person, he could only beg for his life, not daring to resist at all.
With an evolution rate of more than 60% and a tailor-made “Wilderness Knight” that cost hundreds of thousands of gold, Tie Zha’s combat strength rating was already comparable to that of a diamond mid-tier warrior, making him the world’s top warrior.
Half an hour later, Dewey brought the gray-robed man and Ye Xinyun to the headquarters of the Blackstone Mercenary Group, a barracks that had been converted from an old factory.
After entering the Blackstone Mercenary Group’s territory, Dewey and the others’ expressions relaxed a lot. In their eyes, no matter how formidable the gray-robed man was, he was only a living target in front of hundreds of fully armed mercenaries with real guns and ammunition.
After notifying the guards, Tie Zha and Ye Xinyun, led by Dewey, entered the black mercenary’s reception room.
Not long after, a burly man with a knife scar on his face and a sturdy figure brought two mechanically modified men wearing dark green military trousers and steel plates to the reception room. After entering, the burly man looked at Tie Zha first, then at Dewey, who was covered in blood, and then said, “I am Earth Leopard. What can I do for you?”
“Pay off his sister’s debts.” Tie Zha closed his fingers and pointed at Ye Xinyun with his palm facing upwards.
“Oh, good thing,” said Earth Leopard with a grin.
“How much is it? Let’s calculate it all at once.” Tie Zha added.
“Pay it off in one go? That’s quite a lot.” Earth Leopard said with a smile.
“Forget it.” Tie Zha said indifferently.
After a while, Earth Leopard summoned a skinny man, Accountant, and began to calculate.
“The monthly interest rate is 3%, the management fee is 1%, plus the late fee, and finally the principal fee. A total of 565 gold, 3 silver, 7 copper and 3 cents.” Not long after, he came up with a calculation.
‘”Impossible, elder sister can’t borrow it” Ye Xinyun had just opened her mouth when Tie Zha stopped her with a gesture.
“I’ll give you a discount on my own initiative. I’ll give you some change and you’ll get 560 gold. How about it?” Earth Leopard waved his hand and said.
Tie Zha did not say anything. He took the money bag from his waist and threw it to Ye Xinyun. He ordered, “Give him six hundred gold.”
“This” Ye Xin Yun hesitated. Originally, this debt came out of thin air, and he still wanted to give 40 more gold coins. He was truly reluctant to part with it.
“Count.” Tie Zha said indifferently.
Seeing Ye Xinyun pour out golden coins on the coffee table in the reception room, Earth Leopard, Dewey and the others’ eyes shone with greed. Then, Ye Xin Yun counted 600 gold coins and handed them to Earth Leopard.
“Thank you.” Earth Leopard said with a red face as he held the purse. To him, this was a windfall. When Ye Xinling disappeared, he took the opportunity to forge some documents to blackmail Ye Xinling’s family. In the end, he didn’t expect to attract a big local tycoon. However, he did not find it strange. After all, Ye Xinling was one of the most beautiful women in the staff area. In the past, many men were willing to spend money for her. As for being seen through by Ye Xin Ling, he had no worries at all, because Ye Xin Ling had disappeared for three years and had been expelled from the Black Mercenary Group. She was no longer one of his own. Moreover, the Blackstone Mercenary Group had always been lax in their discipline. Once they left Sand City, they would become black-eaten bandits of the Sand Sea. As long as they could justify their actions, they would be fine.
“Take the money and open a receipt.”
At this moment, the gray-robed man said coldly. Earth Leopard, who was immersed in joy, was interrupted by the former. His expression immediately changed, and he fiercely said, “What receipt? We never issue receipts here.”
“That’s right, borrowing money to pay off debts is only natural. There’s no need for a receipt. Brother Bao has never had such a rule.” Dewey took the opportunity to step forward and echoed.
“I will only say it once. Receipt.” The gray-robed man said indifferently.
Earth Leopard snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, the grey-robed man attacked. He suddenly kicked his leg, turned around the moment he left the ground, and shot straight at the face door like a cannonball, punching towards him!
“Bang!” “Bang!”
Before Earth Leopard could see the situation clearly, two loud noises rang out beside his ears, causing his eardrums to buzz.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
When he saw the situation clearly, the two reformers beside him flew into the wall at the same time, knocking the bookcase against the wall into pieces of wood. The two reformers’ chests sunk deep into the ground, and blue arcs of lightning were cracking.
“Tell your Guild Leader to personally issue a receipt. Otherwise, the Blackstone Mercenary Group will disappear today.” Tie Zha looked at the stiff Earth Leopard and said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a matter of course.
