Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Chapter 32 The Brightest Wanted Criminal

Jiang Chaosheng sized up Yang Xiao.

His hair was a mess, and he was even thinner than the last time we met, looking like a skinny, homeless monkey.

It's clear that he's been having a very difficult time lately.

Logically speaking, even if Yang Yaozu, the underworld boss, were dead, and even if his territory were taken over by his rivals, Yang Xiao, his only son, should still have the standard of living of an ordinary person, or even better.

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the teapot on the table: "Pour your own tea."

"it is good."

Yang Xiao carefully sat down in the chair, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea.

He smelled the aroma of food wafting down from upstairs and swallowed hard.

Jiang Chaosheng continued flipping through the book: "How did you become like this?"

Yang Xiao shook his head with a wry smile: "All the money went to my dad's coffin."

The old house was also taken away by the stepmother.

It seems my dad gave all the family property to my stepmother.

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he took a big gulp of tea.

It burned his teeth, but he didn't spit out the hot tea.

Firstly, because this is the gentleman's territory, and it cannot be dirtied.

Secondly... this cup of tea is the hottest thing he's had in his mouth recently.

Yang Xiao slowly exhaled a breath of hot air and said self-deprecatingly, "Just because that woman and her son were crying in front of my father's sickbed, he gave them all the money."

He completely forgot that I was the one contributing to the gang, and he also forgot that only I would bury him after he died.

My dad knew perfectly well that the woman was only after his money.

But my dad was happy, even though he knew their love was fake.

My dad's so carefree, treating his own son like a dog.

As Yang Xiao spoke, a hint of envy and longing appeared in her eyes: "He did that to someone else's wife and daughter in front of her husband."

He once threw his younger brother into a Tibetan mastiff cage.

He betrayed every single one of his sworn brothers.

They have no ethics or morals, don't care about worldly opinions, and are not burdened by family ties.

My dad definitely knew how miserable I would be after he died, but before he left, he still kicked me one last time just to make the beauty smile.

He is truly a lecherous scoundrel who commits all kinds of evil deeds, and a lawless beast.

Although his death was tragic, it has to be said that his life was worthwhile.

Follow your heart, act as you please.

My dad is the freest man in the world.

"As long as you disregard ethics and morality, and don't care about committing heinous crimes, you can be this free!"

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chaosheng, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Sir, what exactly did my father trade with you?"

Jiang Chaosheng said lightly, "He traded benevolence and morality for a rag doll."

Yang Xiao was stunned and stood there for a moment after hearing this.

Benevolence, righteousness, and morality?

It's actually about benevolence and morality!

Can morality and righteousness be traded?

Yang Xiao immediately became impatient and asked cautiously, "Then can I...?"

"

Jiang Chaosheng put down his book, his eyes gleaming with a mocking smile, and said, "Why do you all think I would collect things without restraint, things that you all look down on?"

Yang Xiaorang politely placed his hand under the table.

Jiang Chaosheng said, "Your father wasn't a villain back then."

He has done a lot of things to help the weak and oppressed, and to support the elderly living alone.

To be honest, he's a loyal and righteous man.

Yang Xiao stared in disbelief, speechless, and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

Jiang Chaosheng was not lying; he was not deceiving Yang Xiao.

Li Qinglian recorded a rough account of Yang Yaozu's life.

Jiang Chaosheng studied the notes and journals of the managers every day, so he had naturally read them.

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered something and realized, "Right, he later sold out his benevolence and morality."

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he sighed.

It's a pity that I can't be a father myself, and my teacher is unwilling to accept my benevolence and morality.

Jiang Chaosheng said, "Actually, you don't need to trade any benevolence or morality."

Yang Xiao looked at Jiang Chaosheng and blinked.

Jiang Chaosheng smiled and said, "You've always been a villain; you have practically no sense of morality or righteousness."

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment: "But I'm not as dashing as my dad."

Jiang Chaosheng smiled and said, "Because compared to your father, you're missing a rag doll."

Number 5-20, a voodoo doll.

As long as you have the victim's birth date and name, you can take their life from thousands of miles away.

It has great capabilities, but the side effects are significant.

In fact, every forbidden thing has some side effects.

Yang Xiao looked at Jiang Chaosheng expectantly: "Could you sell me that doll?"

You can have anything you want from me; I'll do anything for you!

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head.

Yang Xiao lowered his eyes in disappointment, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Jiang Chaosheng's smile gradually widening, and he looked at Jiang Chaosheng again.

Jiang Chaosheng stared into Yang Xiao's eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "I can give you something better, something better than that doll."

You can use that thing to achieve the freedom you desire.

But the price is a hundred times heavier than benevolence and morality.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao's eyes gleamed with longing: "I'm willing! I'm willing to trade!"

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the stairs came from inside.

Jin Meiting walked downstairs and was stunned when she saw Yang Xiao. Then she looked at Jiang Chaosheng with a pitiful look and said, "Master, it's time to eat."

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Jin Meiting: "Give me 2-15."

Jin Meiting quickly walked downstairs and entered the back room.

She had already memorized the numbers of all the forbidden items in the Zero Antique Shop.

A moment later, Jin Meiting walked up to Jiang Chaosheng with a glove in her hand.

[Item No. 2-15, Ghost Gloves.]

Jiang Chaosheng took the Ghost Shadow Gloves and looked at Yang Xiao: "This thing has the power to manipulate shadows. In terms of its forbidden nature, it is much stronger than that doll."

Yang Xiao stared intently at the ghostly glove, his breathing becoming rapid: "What... what should I pay in return?"

"Sir, I'll do anything for you, just give me this!"

Jiang Chaosheng slowly put on his gloves: "Since you're willing to work for me, I can give you a discount."

Jiang Chaosheng put on his gloves and slowly said, "Then let's exchange them for your shadow."

After Jiang Chaosheng finished speaking, he made a sweeping motion with his hand, which was covered in ghostly gloves, and something bizarre happened.

Yang Xiao lowered his head in fear, looking at his own shadow.

His dark shadow was struggling!

As if enduring immense pain, its two hands were frantically clawing.

An indescribable force suddenly surged forth!

The shadow transformed into a straight line, traversed the floor, climbed onto the counter, and was caught in Jiang Chaosheng's hand, turning into a strange black rune.

Yang Xiao suddenly felt extremely weak, and even raising his hand was extremely difficult.

Jiang Chaosheng coughed lightly twice.

The Ghost Gloves are not used indiscriminately.

Without strong mental support, one must sacrifice their health.

This is not a problem for Jiang Chaosheng.

He is immortal; health is useless to him.

Jiang Chaosheng took off his gloves and tossed them to Yang Xiao: "They're yours."

Yang Xiao eagerly put on the Ghost Shadow Gloves: "Th-thank you!"

Jiang Chaosheng placed his hand back on the book and said, "You no longer have a shadow; you will be wanted by the light."

"Stay for dinner tonight before you leave."

A person without a shadow is afraid of light, and will turn to ashes in the sunlight.

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Jin Meiting: "Bring the food down."

Jin Meiting glanced at Yang Xiao, who looked like a starving ghost, and reluctantly went upstairs to bring down the ribs.

Yang Xiao swallowed hard and gulped down his food.

Jin Meiting looked at Yang Xiao with disgust.

This was clearly prepared for my master!

0. . . 0

Yang Xiao's eating manners are terrible; it looks like a pig rooting up cabbage.

After eating, Yang Xiao sat in a chair, lost in thought.

Jiang Chaosheng ignored him and silently continued reading.

Jin Meiting swept the area, occasionally glancing at Yang Xiao with resentful eyes.

As the last rays of sunlight faded and night began to fall, Yang Xiao got up.

He bowed deeply to Jiang Chaosheng and walked out of the Zero Antique Shop.

Jin Meiting frowned, staring at Yang Xiao's thin back.

"interesting."

A voice came from the counter.

Jin Meiting turned around in confusion and looked at Jiang Chaosheng.

Jiang Chaosheng watched Yang Xiao's retreating figure: "Do you believe he'll come back to me for another deal?"

Jin Meiting asked, confused, "Is it because the Ghost Shadow Gloves aren't strong?"

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "Very strong."

Jin Meiting was even more puzzled: "Then what else did he want to trade with you about?"

"Hehehe..."

Jiang Chaosheng suddenly burst into a series of laughs.

The laughter was filled with mockery, disdain, and... contempt for the absurdity of human nature.

Jiang Chaosheng laughed enough: "He'll use those gloves to try and exchange for benevolence and morality with me."
