Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 190 - : Robbed

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Robbed

“Master!” Wu Jiangtao quickly supported Pan Ze, who had already coughed up blood twice in a short period of time.

Would he die from losing too much blood if he stayed with Shi Hao any longer?

Pan Ze steadied himself; he calmed down and began to think.

“Qi Yingpeng is so protective of that little beast, there must be an unspeakable relationship between them!” he muttered to himself, “Perhaps, the little beast is Qi Yingpeng’s illegitimate child. If this can be proven and exposed, it will definitely be a blow to Qi Yingpeng’s reputation.”

“Besides, that little beast is truly detestable. I must find someone to get rid of him!”

Wu Jiangtao, listening at his side, couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding at Pan Ze’s ruthlessness.

But he had no intention of exposing Pan Ze.

First, this was his master; if he were to denounce him, it would not earn him any points for righteousness over kinship. On the contrary, in this world where respecting one’s master and valuing the moral code were of utmost importance, betraying one’s master was one of the gravest sins.

Second, he too wished for Shi Hao to die!

…

Shi Hao was very satisfied and returned to his residence.

However, when he got back, he found the medicine shop in disarray, with the hired helper sitting on the ground, his face and chest bearing the prints of feet, stained with blood.

“What happened?” Shi Hao asked somberly.

“Boss!” The helper quickly stood up, “You’re back!”

He started to lament to Shi Hao.

Earlier, some thugs had come to collect protection money, and since Shi Hao was not there, the helper naturally couldn’t make a decision and could only humbly plead.

Unable to collect the money, the thugs beat up the helper and robbed the shop of all the elixirs, demanding Shi Hao to bring the payment and redeem them upon his return.

Shi Hao’s gaze turned cold—these hooligans truly were everywhere.

“You go back and rest, come back as usual tomorrow,” Shi Hao said, while handing him a piece of silver.

“Thank you, boss, thank you!” The helper was overjoyed. Such a large ingot of silver, he really had turned misfortune into fortune this time; this boss was too generous.

“But, all our goods are gone, how can we open for business tomorrow?” After thinking it over, he asked.

“Don’t worry, those people will return the things they took,” Shi Hao said with a smile.

How would that be possible!

The helper thought to himself, they were thugs, after all, and they wouldn’t reason with you.

Shi Hao smiled, offered no further explanation, and walked out the door.

If those thugs wanted him to redeem his goods, they would naturally leave an address; otherwise, they would be nothing but a bunch of fools, right?

He strolled leisurely along with his big yellow dog, not in a rush at all.

But the place wasn’t far.

Thugs had their own “territories”; they couldn’t possibly reach too far out.

This was a rather large courtyard, but it was not well maintained and looked dilapidated.

A man wearing a short jacket sat on the threshold. Seeing Shi Hao coming, he lazily got up and shouted, “What are you doing here?”

Shi Hao smiled and said, “You took a batch of my goods, I’m here to retrieve them.”

“Oh, it’s you.” The man in the short jacket nodded, “Go on in, we’ve been waiting for you!”

Shi Hao didn’t care and walked in with large strides; he saw seven people in the large courtyard exercising—some were lifting weights and some were sparring, making huffing and shouting noises.

When they saw Shi Hao, all of them stopped and glared at him with hostility.

“My name is Shi Hao. The medicine shop you robbed is mine,” Shi Hao declared.

“Tsk, this pretty boy sure looks nice,” one thug commented, “It’s so irritating. I really want to slash his face.”

“Hahahaha!” The other ruffians all burst into laughter.

“Pretty boy, aren’t you scared?” The first ruffian pulled out a dagger and started waving it in front of Shi Hao’s face.

The big yellow dog suddenly darted out and viciously bit down on the ruffian’s crotch area.

“Aah!” That ruffian let out a scream that was beyond description, his body arching forward like a bow, tears instantly streaming down his face.

Damn!

The other ruffians hesitated, watching the still aggressive big yellow dog, wondering whether to charge at it or not.

“Damn it, aren’t you coming to help me!” The first ruffian bellowed at the others.

Only then did those ruffians, suppressing their anxiety, charge toward the big yellow dog.

But this big yellow dog was in the Soul Nurturing realm, how could these ruffians compare?

Besides, when it came to experience, this dog used to dominate the garbage heap at Starwind Academy!

The big yellow dog darted left and right, biting one after another.

“Aaah!” “Aaah!” “Aaah!”

The screams were incessant, each ruffian following in the footsteps of the first, clutching their butts and crying in pain.

The big yellow dog looked on, feeling an intense sense of accomplishment rise within.

The commotion was so great that the people in the living room were also disturbed and rushed out to see seven of their companions on the ground, clutching their butts and screaming, all of them both shocked and perplexed.

What happened?

“Who are you to act wild here in our territory!” A man who was clearly the leader shouted at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao chuckled, “You come to my shop, beating and robbing, and now, you feel wronged?”

“It’s you!” The leader snorted, “Originally, we only planned to collect ten silvers from you each month, but you’re so arrogant, it won’t just be ten silvers now.”

“Right, we should also charge him for medical expenses,” the thugs echoed.

The leader nodded: “Bring out one hundred silvers today, and we’ll let you go. From now on, you’ll pay twenty silvers a month for protection fees.”

Shi Hao shook his head, “You’ve got one thing wrong.”

“What is it?” The leader reflexively replied.

“I didn’t come here to pay protection fees,” Shi Hao said.

Huh, then what are you here for?

“Pretty boy, don’t tell me you think you can fight your way in here all alone?” the leader laughed.

“Hahahaha!” The thugs also laughed uproariously.

“Da Huang, go,” Shi Hao commanded.

Whoosh, the big yellow dog charged out, filled with excitement.

As some instinct was ignited, it began to unleash itself.

“Aaah!”

The screams resumed, incessant as before. Soon, people were lying on the ground, including the leader, none of whom stood a chance against the big yellow dog. They were knocked down and mauled at the seat of their pants.

Shi Hao casually inquired, “Where are my elixirs?”

“You, who incite your dog to violence, do you know who we’re with?” The leader, one hand covering his butt and the other pointing at Shi Hao, demanded.

“Aaah!”

But then he screamed again as the big yellow dog pounced once more.

“We’re with Brother Zhong Zhong Huan!” the leader shouted, anxious that Shi Hao might not be aware and thus elaborated, “Brother Zhong’s sister is Lu Xiu, a mistress of the Lu Family’s young master. This whole area is under Brother Zhong’s control. To be against Brother Zhong is to be against the Lu Family!”
