Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 306: Gains

As the police arrived, the scene was already chaotic. Most of the crowd had already fled from the panic. A few of them were injured by the stampede. However, as the police searched, they couldn't find any culprit at all.

" Damn it, what exactly happened here?" The police officer scratched his head.

" Boss! Look here! A secret passage!"

" Huh?"

Noticing the secret passage, the police marched forward. Their eyes widened in shock when they saw a few men in weird robes and security guards lying dead on the ground.

" Damn it! It's a mass murder! Seal the crime scene!"

" There are some people ahead!"

" This is ESPD! Hands up!"

Pulling out their revolvers, they slowly inched closer to the cells. However, they were stunned when they saw people imprisoned inside those small rooms.

" Police! It's the police!"

" Please! Save me! Save me from this hell!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

" Police! It's me! I am the son of SNS Company's Vice President!"

The news spread like wildfire. No one ever expected that t here were kidnapped people kept in a secret basement in Mist Brilliance Society.

The police quickly formed the barricade, rescuing the people from inside. They also caught the remaining guards and workers, who were beaten to a pulp by the goons of Brother Biao.

" Holy shit, to think it would blow up this big!"

" Immediately call the chief. This matter is beyond our level." The police officer sighed as he pulled out a packet of cigarettes.

" Kidnapping is another thing. We need to investigate the corpses inside the basement. Fuck, so many people died!"

The subordinate couldn't help but speak in a gloomy voice. " Not to mention, the hall inside the secret passage gave me chilling vibes. It felt rather cold and creepy. Boss, do you think they are some sort of evil cult?"

" Well, that depends on the investigation, I guess." The officer puffed out a smoke.

" The city is really turbulent these days."

*SLURRRRP! NOM! NOM!*

Zhao Ningyu slurped from the bowl of noodles, eating with utmost haste. Brother Biao remained at her side, holding an extra serving.

" Young lady, do you need some fried pork?"

" Give three. Also, give me the scallion ginger oil dip!"

" As you wish."

Jia Hao smiled as he sat right before Zhao Ningyu, watching her golfing down the food.

" I apologize, you have to see my ungraceful self." Zhao Ningyu gave a gentle nod to Jia Hao, but her focus remained on eating.

Jia Hao shook his head. " Please, Lady Zhao, it's not your fault at all. Even I would eat with gusto if I were hungry for a while."

" Strange enough, I am not feeling as weak as I thought I would feel." Zhao Ningyu gave a glance at Jia Hao. " The vial of liquid you made me drink was surprisingly energizing."

" Hmm, I don't know what you are talking about." Jia Hao hummed, pretending to not understand. Zhao Ningyu slowed down her eating slightly, her lips curling.

" I wasn't really unconscious, you see. I knew every action you took."

" It's just a homebrew vitalizing medicine. I always carry it for having some natural refreshment." Jia Hao chuckled.

Indeed, after rescuing Zhao Ningyu, Jia Hao realized that her pulse was rather weak. He mixed the extracts of some ancient herbs with some sparkling water, feeding it to Zhao Ningyu.

Not only did it reduce her physical fatigue, but it even nourished her feeble body instantly.

However, Jia Hao wa smildly surprised when he realized Zhao Ningyu noticed that. But this didn't faze him at all.

After eating her fil, Zhao Ningyu drank a small cup of tea. Then, wiping her mouth, she looked at Jia Hao. The servants instantly took away the plates and cups before her and cleaned the table.

" Ahem, now we can talk properly." Zhao Ningyu stood up, bowing before Jia Hao.

" Thank you for saving me. Without your intervention, I can't even imagine what would have happened to me."

Jia Hao shook his hands, " Please, Lady Zhao, no need for such big gestures. I just did what I should have done."

Zhao Ningyu nodded as she got up, sat down gracefully. Brother Biao got on her knees.

" Young Lady, please punish me. It's only because of my negligence…"

" Uncle, don't act like that. It's not your fault." Zhao Ningyu sighed. " There was no intel or anything at all. Not to mention, it was my fault as well, coming so far without any of Father's personal guards."

" Please, you are injured. Take the other injured men and get yourself treated. All the expenses, put it on my card."

" Thank you for your generosity, Young Lady." Brother Biao bowed as he got up to leave.

Then Zhao Ningyu looked at Jia Hao, as if she were seizing him from head to toe.

" Hmm, speaking of him, you helped us quite a lot of times."

" Two times, to be exact." Jia Hao nodded.

Zhao Ningyu's lips cracked, " Well, both of the times were really emergencies. Thanks to your help, we managed to evade a lot of troubles."

" But how did you know I was trapped there?" Zhao Ningyu asked in a curious voice.

" Well, let's just say I got a tip from the whisper of wind." Jia Hao spoke with a mysterious smile.

" Is that so?" Zhao Ningyu looked at Jia Hao for a moment. " Hmm, looks like you aren't someone who easily shows up his cards."

" I believe it's always good for keeping a few tricks hidden." Jia Hao held the glass of whiskey before him, swirling lightly.

" Not only does it help at the right time, let's say…It also created a solid impression, no?"

" Hahaha."

Zhao Ningyu laughed lightly; her laughter was like the tinkling of bells. " I won't deny there is a subtle truth in your words."

" So, what are you thinking of doing now?" Jia Hao asked with curiosity.

" First of all, I will stay here and enjoy the city for a few days. After that, I will return back to my home." Zhao Ningyu spoke in a calm voice.

" Oh? That's it?" Jia Hao was surprised.

" I am not a fool. I won't deny I am not having an urge to kill every last one of those Mist Brilliance Society bastards." Zhao Ningyu shook her head.

" But rather than attacking head on, it would be much better if we gather information about them first. Because what I felt there…They are certainly not an ordinary group."

" Wise choice. You are really cool-headed, Lady Zhao, for not jumping into battle at once." Jia Hao couldn't help but praise her.

" Please, don't call me Lady Zhao. Calling me Ningyu would be fine." Zhao Ningyu smiled. " So, as I said, I will be staying here. I wonder if Brother Hao is willing to take me for a tour."

" Haha, I certainly won't mind." Jia Hao laughed. " However, I would suggest you rest for a few days and have a full medical check-up first."

Zhao Ningyu smiled as she saw Jia Hao getting up. " Indeed. Next time we meet, we will have some proper business talks."

" It will be my pleasure."

As Jia Hao left, Zhao Ningyu's smile replaced with a thoughtful expression. Soon enough, a man entered the room.

" Young Miss, here is the file. Everything about Jia Hao is recorded here."

" Thank you."

" Now, let's see the harvest." Jia Hao rubbed his palms as he looked into his Pot of Miracles.

[ Half burned Delusional Spirit Candles]

[ Soul Shocking Bell (Replica)]

[ Soul String Worm (Dormant)]

And finally

A kilogram of pure drugs.
