Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 176 - 112: The incident escalates, Peng Shizhong VS oil seller - Part 5

Feng Xuan said, "Good that there’s nothing wrong, but Fourth Brother, you should’ve sent your brother back home."

"This matter has nothing to do with Fourth Brother."

At this moment, Zheng Chuan spoke from the side, "Fifth Brother, are you implying that it was the Manager Yu Biao who hired the killer?"

"Yes."

"Did you kill him?"

Chen Jie nodded, "Yes."

Zheng Chuan said, "Then this issue, adoptive father, it’s not good for us to rashly make a move!"

Hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "So the issue now is this recent assassination? Since when did the Black Market get so bold as to dare put a bounty on people of Manager status from our White Tiger Hall, showing blatant disregard for our White Tiger Hall!"

Zheng Chuan also frowned and said, "Indeed, the Black Market has gone too far."

Peng Shizhong had been silent until now, lifting his head to look at Chen Jie he said, "Oh, Jiu Si, I’ve heard about this matter. You don’t need to worry about the rest, rest assured, such incidents will never happen again."

"Ah Fu!"

"My lord."

At this point, Peng Shizhong’s most trusted guard, Peng Fu, stepped forward.

"Take my carriage and send Jiu Si home, and Jiu Si, I had a suit made for you, remember to wear it to tomorrow’s banquet."

"Yes, adoptive father."

Chen Jie, hearing Peng Shizhong’s words, asked no further questions. Since Peng Shizhong said there was nothing to worry about, that must be the case.

Peng Fu said, "Fifth Master, please."

Chen Jie said, "Thanks, Uncle Fu."

Afterward, Chen Jie followed Peng Fu out, got into Peng Shizhong’s most luxurious carriage, and went home.

On the way, Chen Jie said, "Uncle Fu, have an orange, my brother Xiao Hu is training with you, please take good care of him."

Uncle Fu said, "No need, this orange is too sour, I can’t eat it, but your brother has potential."

Uncle Fu, being a man of few words, pulled Chen Jie home.

Seeing Chen Jie leave, Peng Shizhong’s expression immediately turned ugly.

"Second Brother."

"Here."

"Take some men, bring those two corpses back, then come with me to the Black Market!"

Peng Shizhong commanded.

Hearing this, Zheng Chuan said, "Adoptive father, for such a minor issue, let me handle it."

Peng Shizhong replied, "You, you’re not yet capable enough!"

...

Yongping Tea House!

This was a tea house that operated 24 hours, and the Shopkeeper was there doing his accounts.

Just then, there was a loud bang, the door was kicked open.

The Shopkeeper’s expression turned cold, the four staff instantly reached for their concealed weapons, all with a solemn demeanor, radiating killing intent, who dares to cause trouble in my Black Market!

However, as soon as the person entered the tea house.

The Shopkeeper’s expression changed instantly, his face brightening into a smile as he greeted, "Mr. Peng!"

Peng Shizhong strode in, followed by Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan.

The Shopkeeper tried to approach, but was pushed aside by Feng Xuan.

The Shopkeeper dared not show any displeasure, only could manage a smile and said, "Mr. Peng, what an honor to have you."

Peng Shizhong glanced at the Shopkeeper, "Came here to find your boss to kill someone, should I go down, or should he come up to take this business?"

Hearing this the Shopkeeper immediately signaled with his eyes, "Mr. Peng, I’ll have someone call him now."

Soon, an old man rushed up, seeing Peng Shizhong he immediately bowed, "Sect Master Peng."

Peng Shizhong eyed the old man and said, "Oil seller?"

The old man said, "Mr. Peng, an honor to have you here, pardon my inadequate welcome."

Peng Shizhong said, "Heard the Black Market is covered by you, Oil Seller, and that your assassin business is thriving. How about you do a killing for me?"

Upon hearing this, the old man said, "Mr. Peng flatters us. Who do you need help killing with our assistance?"

"One thousand gold coins!"

Peng Shizhong announced, hearing this, the old man’s eyes lit up, "Kill whom?"

"Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall Master Peng Shizhong!"

Peng Shizhong declared, the old man, shocked and angry, exclaimed, "What do you mean!"

Peng Shizhong smiled, "What do I mean? Your Black Market dares to put a bounty on my adoptive son and on me, what’s so dreadful about that."

"Smashing your establishment!"

The old man immediately understood, and right then Peng Shizhong laughed, "It’s said that the Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Oil Seller is very powerful, a good time to experience it!"

Saying so, Peng Shizhong directly struck at the old man.

The old man, startled, immediately countered with both palms against Peng Shizhong’s single palm, and with a loud bang was blown away, Peng Shizhong then sneered, "Knowing I was coming and sending an underling to meet me, truly underestimating me!"

As he spoke, Peng Shizhong reached out to grab the old man.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

The old man, having just countered one palm, felt numbness in his arms, completely immobilized.

He was also a master of the Iron Bone Realm, yet completely powerless in the hands of an Energy Transformation Master, unable to withstand even a single exchange.

As Peng Shizhong’s hand was about to grab the old man, suddenly a black figure flashed.

With a slap, she countered Peng Shizhong’s hand.

Then, both people took a step back each.

Standing firm!

"Head of the house!"

The old man exclaimed in surprise, not expecting the head of the house to intervene.

Peng Shizhong now looked at the short-statured woman in front of him, dressed in black with a cape, her face unclear, and said, "Oil seller?"

"You’re actually a woman?"

Peng Shizhong sounded slightly surprised.

At this moment, the woman in black spoke in a cold voice, "You, the Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall Master, coming here to find me, surely it’s not just to see if I am a man or a woman?"

Peng Shizhong squinted his eyes, sensing the woman in front of him, cold as frost, truly the one controlling the Black Market.

Watching her was like encountering a person cold as ice.

Peng Shizhong addressed the woman, "I came to place an order, not to see if you’re male or female."

"Oh, I heard, one thousand gold coins for the bounty on your, Sect Master Peng’s head, that’s too little."

Peng Shizhong chuckled, "Then how much do you think my head is worth?"

The woman’s voice remained calm, "My Black Market wouldn’t dare put a bounty on Sect Master Peng, so, it’s priceless!"
