Chapter 43: Yasuo, you beast!
Jasmine witnessed with her own eyes that figure being completely swallowed by the platinum-gold beam of light.
Not even ash was left.
She curled up in the corner of the second floor, trembling all over like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Until that silver Dragon blotting out the sky carried its master and disappeared at the end of the skyline, the terrifying dragon might sufficient to crush the Soul slowly dissipated.
Only then did Jasmine breathe a sigh of relief, her whole body collapsing limply to the ground as if her bones had been sucked out.
She was somewhat dazed.
Boss… just died like this?
That man who could always create miracles and lead her to break through the siege in desperate situations was just gone like this.
She lowered her head and spread her palm.
A plain ring was quietly lying in her palm, still retaining a trace of the other person's body temperature.
"Wait for me at home!"
That unquestionable sentence seemed to still echo in her ears.
But he was already dead.
Dead as dead could be.
Did she still need to keep this promise?
On an impulse, she injected a trace of weak magic into the ring.
The next instant, Jasmine sharply gasped.
The space inside the ring was not large, but the things piled up inside made her heart race wildly.
Stacks of brand new Daxia Coin, at a rough estimate, were at least over two hundred thousand!
Scattered beside them were a few pieces of equipment gleaming with a faint light, as well as a pile of exotic beast Materials she couldn't fully recognize, but looked expensive at a glance.
This money was looted by the boss from those dead Radiant Alliance members.
Coupled with the value of this space ring itself…
Seven to eight hundred thousand!
This sum of money was enough for her to buy a nice house in any second-tier city and live comfortably for the rest of her life!
A thought, like wildly growing weeds, instantly occupied her mind.
The boss was already dead.
Weren't all these things hers now?
As long as she took this money and quietly left Donghai City, who would know? Who could find her?
For a moment, Jasmine fell into an intense internal struggle.
Her breathing became rapid, and her eyes flickered uncertainly.
…
Inside the bedroom.
Zhou Huai suddenly opened his eyes, his chest rising and falling violently as he gasped heavily.
His forehead was covered in fine cold sweat.
Experiencing death for the first time.
That feeling was just like having an extremely realistic nightmare.
The burning pain of being instantly decomposed and vaporized by the terrifying Dragon Breath seemed to still linger in every inch of his nerve endings.
That Dragon… was too terrifying.
Zhou Huai had not expected that tiny Donghai City would actually hide top powerhouses of this caliber.
However, controlling Yasuo to launch a suicide attack was the result of his careful consideration.
If Yasuo didn't die, this matter would be hard to calm down.
The one-million bounty was hanging there, and subsequent troubles would only come endlessly.
Now "dying" once could just allow him to cast off his shell like a cicada and temporarily disappear from the sight of the Zhou Family and Liu Yuru.
Anyway, twenty-four hours later, Yasuo would be a fine fellow again.
Just right, taking advantage of this cooldown time, he would have Ou Yezi step up production of the equipment needed by Yasuo and Gandalf.
He also had to ask Uncle Fu to get a new ID card for Gandalf.
All of these required time.
As for Jasmine…
Zhou Huai's eyes became profound.
That ring was indeed given on the spur of the moment.
It was both appeasement and a test.
He wanted to see what choice this girl, who seemed timid yet had her own persistence, would make when facing the dual impact of huge profits and his "death".
If he wanted to build his own forces in the future, what he needed was not just a powerful Clone.
Even more so, he needed an absolutely reliable and trustworthy core team.
Not long after, at the Zhou Family mansion.
A Radiant Alliance member hurriedly came to report, bringing back the news that Yasuo had been killed.
Inside the study, Zhou Feng listened to the report with tightly locked brows.
"You said… not even a corpse remained?"
"Not even a trace of ash was found?"
The member lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, President. That lord said it himself; the other party should have been directly vaporized by the Dragon Breath."
A trace of hesitation flashed through Zhou Feng's eyes.
Seeing people alive or seeing corpses in death.
Without seeing the body, he always felt uneasy.
But when he heard the title of the big shot who made a move, all his doubts instantly vanished into thin air.
If that person made a move, let alone vaporizing a person, even leveling the entire Old City District would not be surprising.
"Understood."
Zhou Feng waved his hand, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion.
"Go to the accounting room and wire the one million bounty to that lord's account without missing a single cent."
"Yes!"
The member acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Zhou Feng leaned against the back of his chair and let out a heavy sigh.
This night, the Radiant Alliance lost nearly fifty good men and also threw in one million.
It was truly suffering a double loss.
That crazy woman Liu Yuru could finally quiet down for a bit.
He picked up the communicator on the table and dialed Liu Yuru's number.
Soon, this news reached Lu Qi's ears.
"Dead? Haha! He's finally dead!"
Lying on the bed, Lu Qi heard this news, and the gloom that had been suppressed for days was swept away, making him look radiant.
"This is the consequence of offending me, Lu Qi!"
That man named Yasuo had almost become his Heart Demon.
Even though the healer repeatedly assured him that his body had fully recovered and left absolutely no sequelae.
Yet every time he went to the toilet now, he always felt a dull pain somewhere and felt empty inside.
The healer comforted him, saying this was all psychological.
But Lu Qi didn't believe it.
He had to verify it personally!
That night, Lu Qi changed into a flashy designer outfit, drove his eye-catching sports car, and headed straight to Donghai City's top nightclub — "Splendid and Magnificent".
No one knew what actually happened to Lu Qi in that luxurious presidential suite.
They only knew that altogether, he called five girls of different body types and styles.
The first one went in and came out in less than five minutes, with a strange expression on her face.
The second one went in and came out in three minutes, her eyes full of disdain.
The third one…
The fourth one…
The fifth one…
Finally, when the fifth girl slammed the door and walked out with a look of disgust, Lu Qi's hysterical roaring and smashing sounds came from the suite!
"Yasuo! You beast!"
"You ruined me! You fucking ruined me!!!"
When the nightclub's manager and security guards rushed in, they only saw a mess all over the floor and the young master of the Lu Family, who looked like a madman, hugging a wine bottle and crying bitterly.
