Online: I Can See Health Bars-Chapter 1207 - 532: The Rich Man

In fact, Lei Shenhao’s situation now can be considered mild, as Fang Yu has already informed the Hai Family not to go too hard on him.

Otherwise, with the methods of a big family, if they applied private punishment, any player could end up quitting the game on the spot and having their account permanently sealed.

Of course, Lei Shenhao himself also spent money to bribe the prison guard, reducing a lot of physical suffering.

"Brother Lei, how have you been these past few days?"

Fang Yu blinked.

"D-Diao... Mr. Diao."

Lei Shenhao lowered his head.

He couldn’t bring himself to call him a junior brother.

Fang Yu grinned.

"Why is Brother Lei so surprised? By the way, have you seen those helpers who came to rescue you?"

He had more than just seen them; the pool of blood before him belonged to those helpers.

Just two hours ago, those helpers were brought before him, and right in front of him, they were beheaded, becoming a few headless corpses.

Lei Shenhao’s face turned green at that moment.

Not that he didn’t want to pay or anything, but because these people exposed him as the financial backer, who knew what methods the Hai Family would use to torture him.

On one side, he faced torture in the game, and on the other, he faced ridicule in the wealthy heir circle. Lei Shenhao’s days were not going well.

However, now, there seemed to be a turning point.

Lei Shenhao didn’t believe that Diao Deyi had come specifically to mock him this time.

No benefits, no early rise; with the universe undecided, everything still carried hope.

"Mr. Diao... are you here to laugh at me?"

Though he spoke pitifully, Lei Shenhao was secretly observing Fang Yu’s expression through his scattered long hair.

Fang Yu blinked.

"If I say, I’m here to save you, would you believe me?"

Lei Shenhao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He had worked hard these days.

He had used every means available, even hiring hackers to try and hack into the Blue Sea Group to modify his game data.

He was really pushed to desperation, out of options.

His mentor was the number one traitor who colluded with demons and betrayed Sunset City, and as his disciple, the implications alone were enough to cost him his life.

The constant day and night torment made Lei Shenhao sometimes suspect someone wanted to keep him alive, and other times suspect it was simply because he was a heavyweight player and not yet time to be executed in public as an example.

This repeated torment made Lei Shenhao a bit neurotic.

Especially when the helpers he summoned from the forum and his connections in Sunset City were of no use.

Whoever came was defeated, the Hai Family’s dominance in Sunset City was absolute; no one could ever break anyone out from the Hai Family’s prison!

Realizing the reality, Lei Shenhao could almost assert that unless the Hai Family was willing to let someone go, no one in Sunset City could take anyone out of the Hai Family’s cell.

But at this moment, the situation was a little different.

Because Diao Deyi was also considered an insider, a member of the Hai Family!

If so, there was indeed a chance to have him taken away.

But... why?

Locked up for several days, Lei Shenhao’s mind was a bit confused.

But he quickly realized.

"You want information about the Spirit!"

This was Lei Shenhao’s biggest trump card.

But this card only offered special advantages to Believers and had almost no effect on ordinary people.

Because ordinary people, even if they obtained a Spirit, couldn’t become a Believer.

Whether they were Believers or Demon Martial Artists, there were certain conditions, not every player could become a special Martial Artist.

But for those who had already become Believers, the demand for a Spirit without an owner was extraordinary.

Because the irreversible nature of the Erosion Level required any Believer to constantly seek powerful Spirits to replace their weak Spirits, thereby enhancing their strength, enlarging their presence, and even suppressing the Erosion Level.

So, any Spirit without an owner had a deadly effect on Believers, holding a fatal attraction.

"As expected, the Spirit without master of Qingling Taoist is in your hands."

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Of course, I am the inheritor of the Daoist Temple, it was only natural for Qingling Taoist to leave things for me. If you can get me out of Sunset City, I will give you all the information about the Spirit without master!"

If not for this situation, that Spirit without master would be the Spirit Lei Shenhao would replace next time to enhance his Believer’s strength.

But now, there was nothing more important than keeping the character alive.

"How do I know if what you’re saying is true? Taking you out from the Hai Family requires me to take a great risk."

"Fortune lies in danger! Mr. Diao, that’s a Spirit, the Spirit that Qingling Taoist valued, certainly not an ordinary item! Right?"

Of course, the Spirit must be obtained, but how could I let you leave so easily?

Changing the topic, Fang Yu began to talk about Lei Shenhao’s various businesses in Sunset City.

Be it underground casinos, tea house investments, or grain trade...

"Brother Lei has made his way step by step in Sunset City; reaching this level is not easy."

Fang Yu sighed.

He had done his homework!

With the backing of the Hai Family, obtaining some information was quite simple. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

However, while assets on the surface were easy to check, any shady deals and hidden assets were hard to uncover quickly, even for the Hai Family. For instance, when Fang Yu did more digging on the assets Lei Shenhao posted on the forum from Sunset City, he found that the asset owner was not Lei Shenhao but someone else.

But Lei Shenhao dared to list these assets on the forum as capital for rescue, which indicated that the items were within his control, possibly managed by his hired subordinates or company employees, just not under his name.
