66: Yongle Encyclopedia

The fat man had come this time to threaten Qin Yun.

He originally thought Qin Yun and Julia would be locked up in a jail or a police station.

He had connections in those areas, making things easy to manipulate.

Unexpectedly, the two were temporarily held at the courthouse instead.

He had no choice but to come in person, intending to fleece a fortune out of Qin Yun.

Or perhaps blackmail the nine dragons precious sword out of Qin Yun's hands!

The fat man didn't care at all about the deaths of Brother Wu Ying and his other lackey.

Squeezing the last bit of value out of two dead men was what mattered most.

From Brother Wu Ying's mouth, he knew that Qin Yun had found many treasures during the Warehouse Auction.

So, he planned to make a big haul.

In his eyes, a person from Huaxia like Qin Yun, who had no roots or backing, was very easy to manipulate.

He wouldn't even need to lift a finger; Qin Yun would obediently offer up the treasures.

The fat man had assumed that Qin Yun and Julia wouldn't be released until tomorrow morning.

Seeing Qin Yun and Julia emerge at three in the morning, he was quite surprised.

Noticing the Councilman behind them, he began to ponder.

Qin Yun and Julia must have yielded to the Councilman, and likely even presented him with good things—perhaps even the nine dragons precious sword had ended up in the Councilman's hands.

The fat man felt deep regret; he had been one step too late.

He had thought Qin Yun was a man of courage for daring to kill his two lackeys in the bedroom.

It turned out Qin Yun was just a spineless coward.

He had yielded to a hypocrite like the Councilman in less than half an hour.

Just how pathetic were Brother Wu Ying and that other lackey!

They had guns and the element of surprise, yet they still fell at Qin Yun's hands.

What a pair of useless trash; it seemed he would have to handle this matter personally.

"Eastern Kid, you might be out, but you still need to pay the relevant compensation."

"My lackeys have families, large families to support. Since you killed the two of them, you must bear some responsibility!"

"If you don't compensate me, I'll have to step out of line and personally fight for the rights of those two families. However, if I take action, my methods certainly won't be gentle, and the price you pay will be much higher!"

The fat man put on the intimidating air he used with his subordinates.

He thrust out his big belly and stared at Qin Yun with sinister, venomous eyes, making a clicking sound with his tongue.

He was certain that with a slight threat, a spineless person like Qin Yun would be as obedient as a dog, cooperating with him and serving as his cash cow for life!

Qin Yun gave a cold laugh, not caring at all about the fat man's self-important threats.

He had already killed two people; why would he care what this man thought?

As for the nonsense coming out of the fat man's mouth, Qin Yun didn't believe a single word!

Seeking compensation for the families of the dead lackeys?

If even the underworld had such considerations, the world would have long been free of conflict, flourishing and entering the interstellar era.

This guy was definitely trying to blackmail him.

The death of the lackeys was just an excuse!

The Councilman had just let out a sigh of relief after seeing Qin Yun and Julia out.

Although Julia held significant leverage over him, being able to get through this crisis was barely acceptable.

He was already in a bad mood, and seeing a fat mobster blathering on made him snap!

"Who are you? Who gave you permission to be here?"

"And what is your status, that you dare threaten Qin Yun and demand benefits from a victim? What do you think the law is?"

"As for the two deceased, they got exactly what they deserved. Everyone is glad to see such arrogant and vicious criminals killed. It's already generous enough that we haven't demanded compensation from their families, and you have the nerve to ask for compensation?"

"I see you have strong ties to those two criminals. You should also cooperate fully with our investigation!"

The Councilman had always looked down on such blind fools and social parasites.

The fat man's incessant whining showed he was completely blind; the Councilman had finally managed to send away a 'living Buddha' like Qin Yun.

Now this guy was causing trouble right in front of him—what a complete idiot!

The fat man was stunned; the Councilman's acting was a bit too much.

So he took some benefits from Qin Yun, but did he really need to protect the Eastern Kid like this?

They were all the same kind of people. Even if this was Wilmington and the Councilman's territory, he should still share some of the soup; keeping it all for himself was a bad habit.

The fat man believed the Councilman was just putting on a show and wasn't scared in the slightest.

"Don't think you're worry-free just because you found a backer."

"America is a big place. Besides, if I want, he won't be able to protect your safety in Wilmington, let alone in Borton City."

"It would be best if you cooperated obediently. If you insist on seeking death, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The fat man stuck to his judgment, believing that with a little threat, Qin Yun would surely cooperate.

The Eastern Kid had yielded to the Councilman, and since he had even more terrifying methods than the Councilman, the Eastern Kid would surely see the reality of the situation.

When the time came, he would definitely make things difficult for this kid.

After squeezing every bit of value out of him through warehouse treasure hunting, he would imprison and torture Qin Yun for the rest of his life.

The Councilman was furious when he saw the fat man wasn't giving him any face at all.

In this public place, he couldn't speak too plainly.

Thinking that Qin Yun was also his enemy, he decided to stay on the sidelines and watch the two of them fight.

Qin Yun had never been afraid of this fat man. Hearing threat after threat...

Even a person with the best temper couldn't take it. He pulled out the nine dragons precious sword from behind him.

"If you have the guts, come find me in Borton City."

"I'll be waiting for you in Borton City, but you'd better bring enough supplies. Otherwise, when you meet Brother Wu Ying in hell, it would be a disservice to your lackeys if you weren't well-prepared!"

With a *shing*, Qin Yun unsheathed the nine dragons precious sword and pointed the tip at the fat man, shouting coldly.

Seeing the cold glint of the sword, the fat man was dumbfounded.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the nine dragons precious sword in Qin Yun's hand.

He couldn't believe Qin Yun would dare to take action in front of so many people.

Wasn't this kid a spineless coward?

Since he had submitted to the Councilman, why wouldn't he bow his head to him?

Then he realized, why was the nine dragons precious sword still in this kid's hand?

Qin Yun was using his sword in public; why wasn't the Councilman stepping forward to talk about the law now?

The more the fat man thought, the more confused he became, and that was when he started to feel afraid.

This was a peerless, murderous weapon that had just killed two people. If he got hit once, he might be tormented for life!

He backed down under everyone's gaze, not daring to say another word, and slunk away.

The Councilman turned his head away, pretending not to see Qin Yun draw his sword.

Qin Yun had leverage over him, and what Qin Yun was doing was something everyone was happy to see.

For the sake of his career and his voters' opinions, he had to act as if nothing had happened.

With the matter resolved, Qin Yun and Julia returned to their previous hotel.

The hotel expressed great apology for their ordeal and waived their stay fees.

They even upgraded their room to the best presidential suite and promised to increase security to ensure their safety.

Qin Yun didn't say much; this was what the hotel should do.

In the presidential suite, Qin Yun and Julia didn't linger.

As soon as it was dawn, Qin Yun and Julia drove back to Borton City.

When they returned safely to Borton City, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and unanimously decided to go home and relax.

As soon as they opened the door, Hank, who was in the living room, came forward to greet them.

"It's so good to see that you're both okay!"

"It's best not to provoke unsavory people, but if they come to your door, don't be polite. Qin Yun, you did the right thing; don't have any burden on your heart."

"It's almost noon. I've prepared lunch, so hurry up and eat while it's hot."

Seeing the two of them home safe and sound, Hank was very happy.

He comforted Qin Yun with a few words and then called them over to eat.

He had been following the news about Qin Yun and his daughter. As for those who dared to attack his daughter, Qin Yun had done well to kill them!

Qin Yun and Julia very happily finished lunch with Hank.

It was still more comfortable at home.

Qin Yun was concerned about things at the shop, so after finishing his hot tea, he prepared to take his leave.

Hank was very happy after the harmonious meal with Julia and Qin Yun.

Seeing Qin Yun about to leave, he called out to them with an excited look.

"I have some good news for you. I've found a lead on the yongle encyclopedia!"
