Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 533 I only care about money, not people

Chapter 533 I only care about money, not people
Along with the sound, a figure appeared near the three of them.

Liang Jin showed no surprise and didn't even turn his head to look at the newcomer, because he had already sensed someone approaching.

He just said lightly:

"Another one who hides his true colors."

"Why have I been running into so many people like this today?"

The newcomer covered his face with a cloth strip, not revealing his appearance.

Furthermore, the newcomer was very vigilant; he did not approach the center of the battlefield, but only paused at a distance.

The reason is simple: this newcomer's martial arts skills are far inferior to those of Huo Wei and Zhen Lei.

Howe put his mask back on the moment the newcomer appeared.

He and Zhen Lei turned their heads, staring at the newcomers with hostile eyes.

The visitor chuckled:

"Master Meng, why do you find my masked appearance offensive?"

"I'm paying your Green Robe Pavilion to do things for me. As long as the transaction goes smoothly and we have a pleasant cooperation, why should we care about each other's status?"

"If we talk for ages like these two idiots and end up not getting anything out of it, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

Upon hearing this, Howe and Zhen Lei's eyes flashed with murderous intent as they looked at the newcomer.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin finally turned to look at the newcomer.

"What's the matter with me?"

Liang Jin asked.

The visitor replied:
"Kill the Evil King."

Liang Jin was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the person who came this time was also looking for him to kill the Evil King.

"What are the conditions?"

Liang Jin continued to ask.

Huo Wei and Zhen Lei wanted him to kill Tu Xie Wang, but they also wanted him and Qingyi Lou to take the blame.

He was curious to know what requests the people who came this time would have.

The visitor continued to answer:
"There are no conditions; all you need to do is kill the Demon Slayer King."

"I will tell you the specific time and place later."

"I am willing to pay twenty million taels of silver!"

"And you can pay first!"

After saying that, the newcomer raised his hand and a wooden box flew towards Liang Jin.

Liang Jin took the wooden box, opened it, and saw a thick stack of silver notes inside.

Twenty million taels of silver is naturally a huge sum of money.

However, the price for buying the head of a second-rank martial artist is not high.

The value of a second-rank martial artist in this era is immeasurable and cannot even be measured in ordinary silver.

The fact that the newcomer offered such a price clearly indicates that they are certain that Liang Jin and Tu Xie Wang are enemies and that a final reckoning is inevitable between them.

The visitor continued:
"Don't think the money is too little, Master Meng. This amount is just the price for asking you to do this."

"The one who kills the Demon King will not be just Master Meng; there will be others who will assist Master Meng in the end."

"If we can successfully kill the Demon Slayer King, we will receive an additional reward."

Liang Jin took out the silver notes from the wooden box and glanced at them. The silver notes were fine, and the quantity was correct.

He has a lot of money and is not short of money.

But all of this money is his personal money.

And Qingyi Tower was short of money.

Although Qingyi Tower has acquired the wealth of Xingmohai and Wuliangmingwang Sect, it still needs a large sum of money if it wants to completely control the entire Western Desert.

Given the current financial situation of Qingyi Tower, it is indeed somewhat stretched.

With this money, Qingyi Tower could achieve its goals.

The feud between Liang Jin and the Demon King did indeed need to be settled, and he would have dealt with the Demon King even without the money.

So although the masked man's offer was a bit low, it was a real and substantial reward, much higher than what Howe and his ilk only offered in empty talk.

Liang Jin glanced at the silver notes in his hand and smiled:

"These silver notes are all from the Great Qian Dynasty and can only be redeemed within the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Once we leave the Great Qian Dynasty, these banknotes will be no different from waste paper."

"It is not easy to convert the silver notes into cash, and even if I do convert them into cash, it will probably not be easy to take so much silver with me when I leave Daqian."

It's unrealistic to expect so many silver notes to circulate in the Western Desert; they can only be exchanged for cash.

However, withdrawing a full twenty million taels of silver into cash at a money exchange is not as simple as just presenting a bank note.

It takes more than ten days or half a month for various money shops to mobilize so much silver to cash out.

In order to avoid a run on the bank, money shops may even need to hold the transaction for a long time before they can cash out.

Even if all the silver was successfully cashed out, such a huge sum of silver still had to be transported by a caravan of horse-drawn carriages.

Leaving such a large sum of silver beyond the border would be extremely difficult.

Not everyone is allowed to allow silver to flow out of the country; there are indeed too many risks involved.

The masked man laughed:
"Don't worry, Lord Meng, we can ensure that the silver can be exchanged and exported smoothly after the matter is completed."

"But now, we always have to keep something in reserve."

"After all, this is our first time working with Master Meng, so it's not a bad thing to be cautious. Please forgive us, Master Meng."

Clearly, the masked man had already considered Liang Jin's problem, and it was even a means for the masked man to mitigate risks.

If Liang Jin takes the money but doesn't do the job, then the masked man will naturally have a way to prevent so much silver from being transported out of Daqian.

No wonder the masked man was so agreeable, willing to pay first and then complete the transaction.

Liang Jin simply smiled at this:
"As long as you pay enough money, there is no business that cannot be done in this world."

"Okay, I agree to this deal."

The masked man probably couldn't have imagined that transporting twenty million taels of silver might be difficult for others, but for Liang Jin it would be a piece of cake.

Liang Jin can transport any amount of silver smoothly by utilizing the [Item Inventory].

Furthermore, Liang Jin doesn't necessarily need to spend all of this money on the Green Robe Pavilion; he has many other expenses within the Great Qian territory as well.

The masked man immediately cupped his hands in greeting:
"Master Meng is indeed straightforward!"

"Then I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to visit Master Meng again in the future."

With that, the masked man turned to leave.

Can be sudden.

Suddenly, Howe moved and rushed towards the masked man.

He was still in mid-air, but the force of his punch had already roared up.

The terrifying power caused the surrounding smoke and dust to be shunned by the force of the fist, clearing the area in front of Howe.

Even where Howe's punch passed, the ground was carved out by the aftershocks, showing how terrifying this punch was.

A murderous glint flashed in Howe's eyes as he said sharply:
"Who do you think you are, trying to steal our business?"

He did indeed intend to kill the masked man.

Howard was confident that he only needed to negotiate slowly with Liang Jin, and the two sides would eventually reach a cooperation agreement.

But this masked man interfered and ruined Howe's mission.

Clearly, this masked man is the antithesis of Howe's interest group, and Howe will naturally not show any mercy to him.

Once the masked man dies, Liang Jin will have no choice but to continue cooperating with Howard and the others.

So Howe's move was aimed directly at killing the masked man with a single punch.

Howe was a soldier by training; his fist techniques were brutal and direct, and he was about to kill the masked man with the force of a mountain crashing down!

The masked man was clearly much weaker than Howe, only at the fourth rank.

He thought that if he stayed far enough away, he would be fine, but he never expected Howe to make a move so suddenly.

Once Howe's fist surged, the masked man couldn't even try to escape. He was firmly restrained by Howe's fist and could only watch helplessly as Howe's fist came crashing down on him.

Clearly, the masked man couldn't withstand Howe's punch!
This is the difference between great realms. When faced with strength that far exceeds this realm, the masked man couldn't even escape, let alone resist.

At this critical moment, the masked man hurriedly shouted:

"Master Meng, save me!"

"I can guarantee that Lord Meng's silver notes will be cashed out within three days!"

As the masked man's shouts faded.

"call--!!!"

A sudden gust of wind arose.

Howe's fist was about to strike the masked man.

The immense power was so great that it caused countless cracks to appear on the masked man's face, and even the clothes on his body could not withstand such a powerful force.

The masked man is about to die from Howe's punch.

But suddenly!
Howe suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a sense of extreme danger emanated from his vest.

"not good!!!"

This made Howard immediately realize that Liang Jin had already made his move.

After all, the only person present who could make him feel such danger was Liang Jin!

This left Howe with no courage to turn around and fight; instead of slowing down, he charged forward even more frantically.

Only after killing the masked man could he continue negotiating with Liang Jin and save his life from Liang Jin's clutches.

however.

His imagination was ultimately too idealistic.

Because he couldn't imagine just how high Liang Jin's lightness skill was.

Despite Howard's early move and the advantage he gained, Liang Jin was able to catch up and surpass him with "Walking and Shadow".

"Shh!"

In just a moment, Howe's body suddenly stopped.

He lowered his head in disbelief, looking at his chest.

A long spear had pierced his chest from behind, and blood was dripping from the tip of the spear.

Howe turned his head and said:

"Kill me, and you will—"

He ultimately couldn't finish his sentence.

Liang Jin's gun suddenly trembled, and a terrifying force swept through Howard's entire body.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled thud, Howe exploded instantly, turning into countless fragments, leaving no trace of his body.

Seeing this scene from afar, the heavily injured Zhen Lei was completely stunned.

He never expected that Liang Jin would actually dare to kill Huo Wei!

Killing a Zhaoyong General is tantamount to declaring war on the Great Qian Dynasty!

How could Liang Jin be so audacious as to actually kill Huo Wei without hesitation?!

The terrifying force generated by the two sides' attack finally shattered the masked man's mask and clothes.

A scene of pristine white spring light immediately unfolded.

No one expected that the masked person was actually a woman.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old. She had no excess fat on her body, and her skin was smooth and white like porcelain, but it was covered with scars.

These scars were hideous and twisted, like centipedes crawling all over the woman's body.

Some of these scars are from swords and knives, some are lacerations, and some look like wounds left after torture, making people feel horrified at a glance.

Although the woman's face was beautiful, it also bore many scars.

There was a very faint scar on the left side of her nose, clearly from a fingernail injury, which she had drawn into a crooked plum blossom. Her delicate eyebrows were broken at the brow peak, originally an old scar from a sharp blade. Even her cheekbone had an arrowhead-shaped indentation. Even her left earlobe had been cut off.

Originally a beautiful and mature woman, her beauty was diminished by the scars covering her body, making her somewhat frightening.

Upon seeing the woman, Zhen Lei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Wang Huaishuang! It's you!"

After killing Howard with a single shot, Liang Jin fell to the ground, covered in blood.

His eyes were fixed on the woman known as Wang Huaishuang.

The woman who could be remembered and shocked by the famous constable Zhen Lei was clearly of extraordinary status.

However, Liang Jin didn't care and simply said:
"Howell was originally going to compensate me with several million taels of silver. Now that I've helped you kill him, this debt should be placed on your head."

"So you have to pay for this money."

At this point, Liang Jin's gaze swept over the naked Wang Huaishuang, and he frowned slightly:

"Now I want to know, where are you going to get the money to compensate me?"

Although Wang Huaishuang was completely naked, she showed no shyness whatsoever when facing the gazes of the two grown men; on the contrary, she was full of composure.

Her dimples gleamed with a cold light.

"Master Meng, how did you kill him?"

"I only asked you to save me, not to kill him."

Wang Huaishuang was clearly surprised by Liang Jin's sudden act of killing.

In particular, Liang Jin killed someone, yet he still wanted to ask me for compensation?
This inevitably made Wang Huaishuang's words tinged with displeasure.

Liang Jin scoffed and said:
"ridiculous!"

"You haven't even reached the third rank, so how could you know how dangerous the situation was just now? Saving you without killing anyone isn't that simple."

"The shockwave from Howard's single punch ripped your clothes off. If I hadn't killed him, you wouldn't be alive right now."

Wang Huaishuang is only a fourth-rank martial artist. Even a slight scratch could be fatal to her if she were to be struck by a third-rank martial artist's deadly attack.

Moreover, Liang Jin was already annoyed that Huo Wei was wasting his time and never intended to spare his life.

Finally, Liang Jin added:
"I only care about money, not people. If you ask me to do something, I have to pay you, whether I succeed or not."

"Now that I've seen your face, I can find you."

"If you give me even one less penny, I'll kill you."

Finally, Liang Jin smiled sinisterly, revealing his white teeth.

He appeared to be smiling, but a murderous aura was subtly emanating from him.

Clearly, he wasn't joking.

Wang Huaishuang frowned upon hearing this.

After a moment's hesitation, she still said:

"Three million taels as compensation, I'll give it to you in two days."

"The silver notes in Master Meng's possession can be cashed at the money exchange in Yongzhou City at any time, and will definitely be cashed out within three days."

"I'm only in charge of the exchange, not the transportation. Lord Meng, you should prepare the convoy as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin finally showed a satisfied expression.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhen Lei beside him:

"Should I kill this one to silence him?"

“I just heard him say that he has recognized you.”

"Of course, you'll have to pay his compensation as well."

These words infuriated both Wang Huaishuang and Zhen Lei.

Zhen Lei, a renowned constable, found today to be his most frustrating day.

First, he was defeated in one move, and then he was even bargained with someone over his own life.

Liang Jin believed that Wang Huaishuang would not hesitate to ask him to kill Zhen Lei.

After all, Wang Huaishuang's identity had been recognized, and killing her to silence her was the safest option.

But who knows.
