Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 1468: Postponed

Zhang Xianhai laughed and spun Earth around twice. He kept eyeing the ground up and down. After a while, Zhang Xianhai started talking: "I’m a guy with no other skills. My fortune-telling’s dead accurate. Want me to do a reading for you?"

"A reading?" Earth looked into Zhang Xianhai’s eyes, even more disdainful. "You trying to stall?"

Zhang Xianhai reluctantly spread his hands: "My stalling plan’s way too deep, you figure it out yet? Fuck, you’re something else, aren’t you?"

Earth’s face twisted into something ugly. The whole man looked like he’d just swallowed a fly. At the same time, he gently shook his right arm, forcing himself to suppress the urge to smash Zhang Xianhai to death with his fist: "You playing games with me?"

"Bullshit, you’re the one playing with me! Southern Building is Xingwu Group’s headquarters. On your way from Southern Building, the road had to be jammed. Why’d you disappear for a whole hour? You think I can just push my schedule back an extra hour?"

Tu Youyou nodded lightly: "Fine. Since that’s how it is, let me see this prophecy you keep bragging about."

Zhang Xianhai once again looked Earth up and down, then suddenly took a step back, with no warning at all: "Well I’ll be damned, forgive me, your brow is blackened, your people’s center is wide, and your court is deep and dark—every sign points to evil! Brother, you’re a short-lived man!"

Tu Youyou laughed: "Hahaha, how long do you think I’ve got?"

Zhang Xianhai shook his head and let out a heavy sigh: "Forgive my bluntness. Far as I can see, you’re not making it past today!"

"In your opinion, is there a way out?"

"There is! If you kneel down right now, kowtow three times to Jiang, you can shake off this evil!" Zhang Xianhai looked down at the dirt from on high.

"You kidding me! I’m supposed to die today? Even if I really die today, I’m killing you two first!" Suddenly, Tu Youyou flew into a rage, kicked the stool in front of him aside, and raised his right arm to swing at Jiang Guangrong.

Just as Tu Youyou was about to throw a punch, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his mouth and belly. Tu Youyou lowered his head, looking at his mouth and abdomen. If his clothes hadn’t been perfectly intact, Tu Youyou would’ve suspected he’d been shot.

While Tu Youyou was still doubting, the pain grew more and more intense, and he couldn’t care about anything else. He reached out, ripped his clothes open, and was horrified to find that his left chest and left abdomen had turned a terrifying black. Tu Youyou didn’t need to think to know he’d been poisoned!

Tu Youyou stared at Zhang Xianhai in panic: "Didn’t expect you to be a poison expert too. You never even touched my body. When the hell did you poison me?"

Zhang Xianhai pulled an exaggerated face at Earth, pointing at him with his right index finger: "Hey, you, cut the crap. I only just tugged your sleeve and now you’re saying I poisoned you? God, is faking injury scams really this rampant now? Is there any kind of royal law left? Any law at all? Isn’t there anyone more just than a Detective coming out to stand up for me?"

A little brother behind him held up Earth while glaring angrily at Zhang Xianhai: "You’re the only one who touched the King of Earth here. If it wasn’t you, who was it? I’m warning you, if anything happens, Blood Moon people are gonna panic hard. Everyone will think the new guy who got poisoned was because he touched Earth. People avoid the Plague God."

Zhang Xianhai immediately pointed at another man: "Hey, you that scared of dying? I heard the more someone fears death, the faster they die!"

Sure enough, the man Zhang Xianhai pointed at collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, barely clinging to life on the floor.

The Snow Moon people were even more rattled. Everyone stared at Earth in confusion. Earth was pinching the poisoned skin on his body, silently staring at Zhang Xianhai.

Zhang Xianhai didn’t care. "Don’t look at me like that. I heard the more someone hates, the easier they are to do something insane."

As soon as Zhang Xianhai finished talking, a little brother hiding far behind Earth suddenly had blood in his eyes and screamed like a madman. Very soon, the man smashed through the glass and dove straight out the window to his death.

Everyone looked at Zhang Xianhai with terrified eyes; no one dared make a move.

Zhang Xianhai stroked his chin: "Why’re you all looking at me like that? If I said this had nothing to do with me, would you believe it?"

The Snow Moon people all held back the urge to jump him. They’d seen people pretend to be tough, but never someone pretend to be this tough. They didn’t really buy what Zhang Xianhai said, but still, one by one, they lowered their heads.

Tu Youyou sat on the ground and looked at his body again. By now, the black area had already spread to his right chest. That meant the poison in his body wasn’t the instant-kill kind. It also meant Jiang Guangrong hadn’t planned to kill him. Zhang Xianhai had just killed one of his subordinates as a warning.

Tu Youyou didn’t want to, but he had no choice except to bow his head: "Mr. Jiang, this is a misunderstanding. I didn’t come to mess with you. I just wanted to scare you a bit, talk terms, let you walk away with enough benefits. The brothers behind me are good brothers who’ve followed me for over ten years. You can kill me, but please let them go!"

Jiang Guangrong also knew this was not the time to kill people to silence them. His enemy now was the Revitalization Association. If he killed Earth at this moment, he’d definitely face insane retaliation from Blood Moon. And the Revitalization Society could profit from that. It’d be nothing but trouble for him. Jiang Guangrong laughed: "To be honest, Brother Tu, my buddy really didn’t poison you. He really is a fortune-teller. Begging me is useless. Instead of begging me, you might as well pray to God. If you offer God twenty million, and God is moved by you, maybe He’ll let you go?"

Hearing Jiang Guangrong’s proposal, Tu Youyou let out a long breath: "Alright, then I’ll give God twenty million, but I don’t know how to make God receive that twenty million. How about this, I’ll transfer the money to Jiang Shao, and Jiang Shao can offer it to God on my behalf, how’s that?"

"Works perfectly for me!"

Very soon, the local Great Mansion wired twenty million into the account Jiang Guangrong provided, and Jiang Guangrong gave Zhang Xianhai a slight nod.

Zhang Xianhai smiled at Earth and said: "I already told you, you gotta have faith in life. If you’d believed earlier, you wouldn’t have been punished by Heaven, right? They say water is the source of life. I don’t know if that’s true or not!"

Earth blinked at what Zhang Xianhai said. The antidote was that simple? Tu Youyou picked up a glass of water and drank it, half skeptical. Sure enough, the pain in his chest and abdomen eased at once, and the dark patches on his chest and belly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. The other poisoned little brother saw this and hurriedly grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down. Not long after, the poison in the two of them was cleared. After Tu Youyou literally pulled his life back from the brink on the floor, he immediately grabbed them, took the cup in his right hand, and poured water into the dying little brother’s mouth.

Before long, the dying little brother opened his eyes wide and woke up in a daze. Tu Youyou gave Zhang Xianhai a deep, solemn bow: "That’s damn miraculous! I really admire you. But I keep wondering, how did you poison me? You only brushed me once. If my brother got poisoned from touching me, what about those other two who never came into contact with me? The poison in those two is completely different from mine!"

Zhang Xianhai’s face turned mysterious: "I always hear curious people..."

"Ah?" Earth was so scared he almost jumped up.

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xianhai was obviously teasing Earth on purpose. "Get out of my sight, now!"

Tu Youyou didn’t dare linger in the ward any longer and slipped out with his men.

"Hold it!" After all the Blood Moon people had gone out, Zhang Xianhai stopped the Blood Moon people again.
