Chapter 36: Soaring Value Shocks the Martial Arts Association

"Mr. Chu, these items total 10.4 million federal currency," Du Kun said with a smile.

"Mhm."

Chu Han nodded, indicating there was no problem.

Just these Materials and weapon equipment sold for 10 million.

The most expensive Cultivation Techniques, spatial equipment, and that cub hadn't been sold yet, so Chu Han was already very satisfied.

"Let's trade."

"Okay."

The transaction was quickly completed, and Chu Han instantly became a person with a net worth of tens of millions.

"By the way, Manager Du, I have an anonymous federal bank card here. Help me check how much money is in it using the bank System here." Chu Han thought of Night Owl's bank card, and his heart filled with more anticipation.

"Alright, I'll handle it right away."

Du Kun took Chu Han's bank card and began to operate the System.

After a while, Du Kun said, "Mr. Chu, there is a total of 30 million federal currency in this card of yours!"

"So much? Night Owl's net worth wasn't shallow."

Chu Han thought to himself.

Then he said to Du Kun, "Help me transfer all the money here to my bank account."

"No problem."

Du Kun had great professional ethics; he didn't ask about the origin of Chu Han's card at all and directly transferred the money into Chu Han's name.

In this way, Chu Han's net worth directly skyrocketed to 40 million.

"Mr. Chu, if you have any other questions, you can come to me, or do you need to purchase anything?" Du Kun's service enthusiasm remained undiminished.

"Give me 100 vials of energy nutrient solution." Chu Han thought of the Black-Maned Lion Cub and bought some food for it.

Now it ate two bottles of nutrient solution a day, and it would eat more as it grew larger, so Chu Han prepared extra.

Naturally, he hoped to find a buyer as soon as possible, otherwise, raising this little fellow would cost quite a lot of money.

These 100 bottles of nutrient solution cost 200,000 federal currency, at 2,000 per bottle.

Soon, Du Kun had someone bring over a box filled with nutrient solution.

There was no discount this time, but they gave 20 extra bottles, which Chu Han gladly accepted.

"Mr. Chu, if you have any more treasures in the future, don't forget me."

Du Kun enthusiastically saw Chu Han out of the Trading Center.

After leaving, Chu Han didn't go to the military but returned directly to Jiangcheng's Martial Artist Association, preparing to redeem the bounties.

The lobby of the Jiangcheng City Martial Artist Association was grand and luxurious, with a constant stream of Martial Artists coming and going.

Chu Han walked in, wearing simple black tactical gear, with a tactical backpack on his shoulder containing the Black-Maned Lion Cub.

If he wasn't carrying a large bloody sack, his appearance would look no different from an ordinary high school senior, very average.

"Sir, I wonder what business you'd like to handle?" the receptionist asked warmly, not neglecting him because of his youth.

"Hello, I'm here to redeem bounties."

Chu Han's voice was calm, but it made the receptionist pause for a moment: "Redeem bounties? May I ask whose bounty you want to redeem?"

In her impression, most people who could complete bounty missions were battle-hardened adult Martial Artists; the youth before her didn't look like someone who could hunt down bounty targets.

The bounties for the entire Night Owl Squad."

As soon as Chu Han spoke, the receptionist's mouth dropped open in shock.

Her eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly: "What did you say? Night Owl Squad? The one whose captain is a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist?"

"If there isn't another Night Owl Squad, then yes," Chu Han smiled.

"Please wait a moment!"

Seeing Chu Han nod, the receptionist panicked completely; this was not a level she could handle.

She hurriedly pressed the communicator on the desk, her voice urgent: "Director Ling! Director Ling! There's an emergency at the front desk. Someone says they want to redeem all the bounties for the Night Owl Squad!"

Her voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of other Martial Artists.

"The Night Owl Squad's bounty? Which big shot is it?"

But finding it was a young man who hadn't even graduated yet, a wave of ridicule instantly broke out.

"Hahaha, is this kid crazy? He dares to say anything. If he could kill the Night Owl Squad, then I'd be a Grandmaster-level Martial Artist!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a joke. Let's see how he ends this; Director Ling doesn't tolerate any nonsense."

"Could what's in his sack be pig heads bought from the vegetable market?"

Immediately, all the Martial Artists, including the staff of the Martial Arts Association, began watching Chu Han's spectacle.

Before long, a middle-aged man in a black uniform walked over. His aura was deep and powerful; he was Director Ling, who was in charge of bounty affairs.

Behind him followed a young man in a blue suit with an arrogant expression; he was Deacon Li, who assisted with bounty processing.

"This Director Ling's aura is even stronger than Night Owl's; he should also be a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, while the other is only Second-Tier."

With one glance, Chu Han saw through their strength levels.

The receptionist pointed at Chu Han, and Director Ling's gaze fell upon him, his brow immediately furrowing.

He walked up to Chu Han, his brow slightly furrowed, and asked seriously: "Are you the one who wants to redeem the Night Owl Squad's bounties?"

"Yes," Chu Han said flatly.

Before Director Ling could speak, Deacon Li stepped forward, sizing Chu Han up and down, and mocked him with an ill-tempered tone: "Kid, do you know what level the Night Owl Squad is? Led by a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, with three Third-Tier Martial Artists and over ten Second-Tier Martial Artists! You're still wet behind the ears, yet you dare come here and brag? I think you've gone crazy wanting money!"

Facing Deacon Li's ridicule, Chu Han simply looked at Director Ling and said calmly: "You'll know once you see the items."

As he spoke, he opened the sack and poured it out. Instantly, a thick smell of blood gushed out, enveloping the entire lobby.

Over twenty bloody heads rolled onto the lobby floor, incredibly gruesome.

Immediately, some front desk staff who weren't Martial Artists, as well as some low-level Martial Artists who had never killed, looked at this scene with pale faces, and some even vomited on the spot.

Several of the heads rolled to Deacon Li's feet, frightening him into letting out an "Ah!" as he scrambled back, face pale and heart pounding, nearly bumping into others behind him.

Although he was a Martial Artist, he usually sat in an office and had never seen such a bloody scene, especially with the heads' eyes wide open; it made his stomach churn.

Director Ling remained steady. He stepped forward, carefully examined the features of these heads, and with unerring precision, picked up Night Owl's head.

"It indeed is Night Owl himself. This guy is finally dead!"

A flash of relief crossed Director Ling's face; one of his sworn brothers had died at the hands of the Night Owl Squad, and he had never had a chance for revenge.

Now, Chu Han's appearance had brought him good news.

At this moment, Director Ling's gaze toward Chu Han was filled more with admiration and shock.

Night Owl, this slayer who had committed evil in the wilderness for over a decade and struck fear into the hearts of countless Martial Artists, was actually killed by this youth!

Chu Han didn't have the slightest aura of a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, yet he could kill the Fourth-Tier Night Owl—what kind of Prodigy was this?

Director Ling calmed his emotions, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, and said to Chu Han: "Little brother, Night Owl's bounty is 5 million federal currency. The bounties for his three Third-Tier Martial Artist subordinates are 500,000 each, and the remaining members total 500,000, for a total of 7 million. I'll arrange for someone to transfer the money to you right away!"

"Mhm."

A smile appeared at the corners of Chu Han's mouth.

He hadn't expected the Night Owl Squad's bounty money to be so much; 7 million was no small amount for him.

With Director Ling's confirmation, the Martial Artists watching the spectacle in the lobby let out various sounds of disbelief.

"He really killed the members of the Night Owl Squad. Truly unbelievable, how did he do it?"

"This young man is not simple at all; he's definitely a super Genius from some great Family!"

"So powerful, I almost provoked him."

Chu Han instantly became the focus of the Martial Artist Association and the subject of everyone's discussion.

"By the way, I wonder what this little brother's name is? What is your cultivation level? Why can't I feel any essence power fluctuations from you?"

At this time, Director Ling took the initiative to ask about Chu Han's situation.

"I'm not a Martial Artist yet," Chu Han replied straightforwardly. "I'm a senior at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, preparing for martial artist certification the day after tomorrow."

"Not a Martial Artist yet?!" Director Ling was truly shocked this time.

A Quasi-Martial Artist who couldn't control essence power could actually kill a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist? This was simply unheard of!

Director Ling tried hard to calm down, thinking about reporting Chu Han's situation to the higher-ups as soon as possible. Such a Genius must be given importance in advance!

He personally helped Chu Han with the transfer procedures. Once the 7 million arrived, Chu Han left the Martial Artist Association.

After Chu Han left, Director Ling immediately picked up the communicator and dialed a number: "Vice President, I have something to report. The Night Owl Squad has been wiped out. The killer is a high school senior who hasn't even undergone martial artist certification yet. His name is Chu Han!"
