After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 148 Smashing All the Hard Work
Xiong Hengba dared not move, frozen in place, only then realizing the gap between himself and the SS-level orc.

Don't you know what I want to do?

Sang Tian didn't understand Xiong Hengba's thought process. He was sure that the other party could produce so many spirit crystals, but he would only compromise if he had to resort to force.

The ancients were right: you won't shed tears until you see the coffin.

"You killed my brother, so I'd rather die than give you this spirit crystal." Xiong Hengba knew that he possessed great martial prowess, but he had only gotten to where he was today thanks to Shu Qing.

Now that Shu Qing is dead, Xiong Hengba knows he can't be arrogant for long.

Running a black market business is never just about brute force; you need a brain like Shu Qing and the strength of Bai Mingchen to go far.

However, this time, Shu Qing overlooked one thing.

Bai Mingchen's female master and he were of one mind, and no one expected that Sang Tian would bring people to save the day.

A normal female master, upon learning that her beast husband is having an affair with the black market, will either get angry or have someone cut off her ties with the black market. Some might even divorce her beast husband, simply because they are worried that he will implicate them.

"Then you should die. It'll be good if you die, then this place will be under our control."

Sang Tian spoke casually, showing no regard for Xiong Hengba's life.

Xiong Hengba was not afraid at all and took out his spiked club, ready to fight.

Sang Tian looked at Wu Lanyuan and reminded him, "Don't kill him, leave him with a breath."

Wu Lanyuan nodded.

"I'll leave this to you. Bi Jingyan, you come with me for a walk."

Sang Tian hadn't expected to encounter such a tough opponent when trying to collect the debt. She could only look around to see if there was anything she could easily move to. She couldn't leave empty-handed this time, and she also wanted to find out more about the situation.

As Sang Tian approached, the other beastmen retreated, terrified and scattering in all directions, not daring to confront her head-on.

Sang Tian is even more frightening than He Zi now.

"Do I look that scary?" Sang Tian touched her face. She had originally wanted to find a local to understand the situation.

"I'll go catch two," Bi Jingyan suggested, telling Sang Tian to stand still and wait.

When Bi Jingyan returned, he had one orc in each hand, holding them tightly by the back of their collars, restricting their movements.

"Let's release them first, don't make us look like robbers."

The two orcs were terrified, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, I don't want your lives. I just want to ask you a few questions: How much is the monthly rent for your black market, and how much profit do you make?"

The two orcs never imagined that they had been captured for this reason.

"I, I, I'm not the shop owner, I'm here to buy something." One of the orcs still had snake-patterned skin on half of his face.

"Even when buying things, they're this loyal, charging forward with a machete?" Sang Tian raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the knife in its hand. "Does loyalty determine who gets priority when buying things on the black market?"

The other party's statement is completely untenable.

With a clang, the two dropped their weapons and, after some thought, gave their answer.

"The monthly rent is 30,000 yuan. If there are many people, the daily profit can reach about 5,000 to 10,000 yuan."

Having received the answer, Sang Tian glanced around and was surprised to find that it was so profitable. There were at least twenty shops, with a monthly rent of 30,000 yuan, which meant that Xiong Hengba and Shu Qing could collect at least 600,000 yuan in rent per month.

One million eight hundred thousand spirit crystals shouldn't be a problem for them, so why won't they give it even if it costs them their lives?

"Your black market spending power is really impressive." Sang Tian's words contained an element of envy, and then she began to tempt, "Your black market boss is dead, would you consider coming to our black market?"

"Your black market?"

The man quickly realized which black market Sang Tian was referring to and didn't dare to speak.

Sang Tian looked up at the group of people hiding from her opposite her, and suddenly didn't want the spirit crystals anymore.

Bang! A loud noise rang in Sang Tian's ears as Xiong Hengba was sent flying through the wall.

Sang Tian followed the sound and wondered why they were so ruthless, thinking, "Wasn't it supposed to leave someone alive? Why did they have to do this?"

She returned to her starting point and found Wu Lanyuan staring at her innocently.

Sang Tian noticed Bai Mingchen's arrival, but quickly looked away without lingering on him.

"Bi Jingyan, why don't you and Qingzhi go check on the person?"

The two nodded in agreement upon hearing Sang Tian's words and went to check on Xiong Hengba's condition.

Bai Mingchen lifted his leg and moved closer to Sang Tian, ​​his lips moving as if he wanted to explain something.

Sang Tian noticed him moving closer to her and deliberately walked around him. "Wu Lanyuan, let's go take a look too."

"Tian Tian, ​​I have something to tell you."

Bai Mingchen knew that Sang Tian was deliberately avoiding him, so he called out to make her stop.

Sang Tian didn't buy it at all, "I don't have time to listen to you right now, I have things to do."

Xiong Hengba was dragged out by Bi Jingyan and Qing Zhi.

"The person's condition is not good."

Upon hearing Qingzhi's words, Sang Tian's expression changed, and she asked, "What do you mean by 'not good'?"

"He only recently passed away," Bi Jingyan added in his reply.

Sang Tian had no choice but to squat down and use her superpower. Xiong Hengba quickly regained consciousness and opened his eyes to see Sang Tian in front of him, which surprised him.

He was clearly dead just now, how could he come back to life?

"The debt hasn't been paid off yet, you can't die." Sang Tian revealed the cold truth.

Before arriving, Sang Tian had heard Qing Zhi explain that many vaults require scanning the pupils of orcs, especially the orcs in the black market, who almost always have a vault.

Because their spirit crystals are not protected by the cloud, they set up this kind of safe deposit box vault to protect their property.

Xiong Hengba and Shu Qing's wealth must be considerable, and the security system of their vault must be even more advanced.

"Tie him up, don't let him hurt himself." Sang Tian got up, thankful that she had brought a rope with her when she left home, it finally came in handy.

Xiong Hengba was tied up like a rice dumpling and couldn't move.

Sang Tianming said, "I don't want much. Either pay off the debt, or I'll empty your black market."

“Those are the tenants’ belongings, it’s none of my business if you take them all out.”

"So you're willing to let the black market, which you've poured so much effort into, end up as ruins?"

Sang Tian squatted down and patiently discussed the life and death of the black market with Xiong Hengba.

Xiong Hengba turned his head to the other side. "The black market has nothing to do with me. I just got lucky and knew those two a while ago."

Seeing that the other party had no desire to communicate, Sang Tian did not force it.

"My superpower can bring people back to life. I won't let you die until you pay off your debt. I'll just leave you alive. It won't waste much of my power, but it will make you suffer indefinitely. Think it over and answer me."

Xiong Hengba looked at Sang Tian with disbelief.

"At worst, you can just take over this black market for yourself, but I won't give you the spirit crystals."

Sang Tian couldn't understand what this stubborn guy was so insistent on.

She glanced around the area. "You don't care if you watch the black market get smashed to ruins?"
