Chapter 20: Don’t Let Him Die Too Easily

"No, I swear I wasn't lying!"

The Tattooed Big Man woke up from his semi-conscious state, letting out a mournful cry, "You promised to spare my life!"

"I never said they would spare you."

Su Lang smiled noncommittally and said to the group of terrified women, "The chance for revenge is right in front of you. What are you waiting for?

If you don't even have the courage to take revenge, then perhaps I should help you find peace."

The humiliated women were trembling with fear, but then they recalled the various abuses they had suffered, and the hatred in their hearts gradually surged.

"I… I'll do it!!"

Finally, one woman shakily stood up. Her teeth were chattering, but the hatred and killing intent in her eyes were overwhelming!

"I'll go too!"

The second woman stood up, followed by the third and the fourth. Eventually, all eight women were standing.

They picked up the ropes, chains, and gags that had been used to bind them, and they tied the Tattooed Big Man securely.

"You can play with him first, but don't let him die too easily."

Su Lang nodded in satisfaction, left an encouraging smile, and turned to leave.

After closing the door to that house of sin, the pig-like screams of the Tattooed Big Man could be faintly heard from inside.

"Karma~"

Su Lang smiled faintly and hurried toward the Town Guardian's Residence.

This stronghold wasn't very large. A few minutes later, Su Lang reached his destination.

The door to the Town Guardian's Residence was tightly shut, but this couldn't stop Su Lang. After all, lockpicking was an essential skill for a qualified assassin.

Before long, Su Lang successfully opened the door and slipped inside.

"Who's there?"

A woman's voice came from inside the room.

Immediately afterward, a woman in blue appeared in Su Lang's line of sight.

This woman was an Elementary Body Tempering practitioner. She looked decent, though her face had some bruises, and her eyes were filled with terror and lingering fear.

When she saw that the person who arrived was not who she expected, and that he had no tattoo on his earlobe, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Are you one of the kidnapped women?"

Su Lang looked calmly at the woman in blue before him.

The woman in blue was agitated: "Yes. Who are you? How did you get in? Can you take me away?"

"I will be leaving here, and you can too, but not right now."

Su Lang smiled, "Do you know about a safe? The one where the Town Guardian keeps the gold and silver coins."

"I know! I even know the password! He said it unconsciously when he was drunk!"

Seeing a chance to leave, the woman in blue was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"You know the password? That's great! Take me there quickly!"

Su Lang was also pleasantly surprised. He had never encountered a safe from this era before and wasn't confident in opening it, so having the password would save a lot of trouble.

"The safe is over here. The password is ******."

The woman in blue spoke while turning around to lead the way, moving quickly.

Ten seconds later, a mechanical combination safe, as large as a wardrobe, appeared before Su Lang. It looked extremely heavy and sturdy.

Su Lang entered the password, and with a clang, the safe opened, instantly dazzling his eyes with a flash of gold and silver light.

The woman in blue standing beside him also stared wide-eyed; this many gold coins was beyond her imagination.

"This is great, this is great!"

Su Lang looked at the piles of gold and silver coins before him, ecstatic. "I wonder if it's enough to upgrade the System by one level!"

Immediately after, Su Lang grabbed a handful of gold coins and stored them directly into the System.

In the Mysterious Black Space, the number next to the gold coin icon instantly changed to 26!

The woman in blue watched the gold coins vanish from Su Lang's hand, utterly stunned and speechless.

Being able to put away items out of thin air meant possessing a space ring, but a space ring was something only big shots of the Martial General Rank could own!

For someone in the Body Tempering stage to own a space ring, how terrifying must their background be?

Thinking this, the woman in blue looked at Su Lang with immense reverence.

Su Lang did not know what the woman in blue was thinking. He chuckled and, handful after handful, stored all the currency into the System, converting it all into gold coins.

The number next to the gold coin icon went from a few dozen to a few hundred, finally settling at 1568!

"It's over a thousand! Hahahaha!"

Su Lang excitedly clenched his fist and roared internally, "System, quickly upgrade my One-Click Cultivation Function!"
