Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Guests in the front row of the venue turned to look at the second floor, while guests at several tables on the side stood up to try and see what was happening, but were all stopped by the guards upstairs.

"Go back and sit down!"

Leng Qiushan glanced at the second floor and then looked away.

He was now more concerned with the soul bone he had already obtained. Without lingering, he whispered something to the person beside him, then got up and walked towards the side door with his entourage.

At this moment, most people's attention was drawn to the chaos on the second floor, but not everyone was.

Su Yuntao noticed that several gazes were fixed on Leng Qiushan and his entourage. Although these people had not won the bid for the soul bone, they had obviously not given up completely.

As Leng Qiushan got up and left, the owners of those gazes stood up at the same time and followed him at a leisurely pace.

The Leng family, I never thought it would be your turn to be hunted down so soon.

Su Yuntao's lips twitched slightly, and he got up and followed.

About fifteen minutes later, Leng Qiushan and his entourage walked out of the side door of the auction house.

The agent was holding a long, rectangular wooden box wrapped in dark cloth, making it impossible to tell what was inside.

Leng Qiushan walked ahead, his pace much faster than when he arrived, followed by five attendants, two of whom were warily scanning their surroundings.

Su Yuntao maintained a distance that allowed him to see the figures clearly, following closely behind.

The gazes that had followed them out did not disperse; they were positioned at different locations behind and on the flanks of the Leng family's group, each clearly having their own plans.

After crossing two streets, the Leng family's group turned into a relatively quiet alley.

Su Yuntao paused at the alley entrance and saw Leng Qiushan stop in the middle of the alley as well. He turned around to face the direction he had come from, clearly having noticed the follower behind him.

The alleyway fell silent for a moment before Leng Qiushan spoke, his voice not loud but loud enough for everyone present to hear:

"You've all followed us this far, why don't you come out and say something?"

After a few breaths, several figures emerged from the shadows at the alley entrance and on the side.

Su Yuntao did not rush to show himself, but remained standing in the shadows at the alley entrance, watching the good show unfold slowly ahead.

A middle-aged man dressed in a dark red outfit stood at the front, his hands behind his back, and spoke coldly:

Leave your belongings behind, and we'll spare your life.

Leng Qiushan's expression didn't change much, only his tone became slightly more somber:

"I am the head of the Leng family. Which gangs are you from? Could you please give me some face?"

The man chuckled, his voice not loud but clearly mocking:

"Give you face? Who do you think you are, Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire or Hall Master Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall? You actually think your face is worth a soul bone?"

Leng Qiushan's expression changed slightly, but he didn't react. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, his tone a little lower than before:

"Thirty thousand gold soul coins, this is all the bargaining chips I have. Consider it my toll. Let me go, and this money is yours."

The alley fell silent for a moment after those words were spoken.

The group exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant.

Leng Qiushan pressed on:

"There's only one soul bone. You don't really think you'll get it in the end, do you? And even if you do get it, are you sure you can keep it? It's a choice between genuine gold soul coins and gambling on a soul bone that you'll never have. You're smart enough to know which to choose, right?"

The crowd's hesitation became even more pronounced.

Leng Qiushan's words made sense. Even if they could snatch the soul bone from him, the probability of actually keeping it in their hands was not high. Rather than fighting for a soul bone that was likely to be snatched away again, it would be better to take a real sum of gold soul coins and leave.

After a moment of silence in the alley, Su Yuntao's voice suddenly rang out from the shadows:

"Then you'd better hand over 30,000 gold soul coins first. If you want us to give up, you should at least show some sincerity first."

Leng Qiushan's gaze abruptly shifted to Su Yuntao's direction. After seeing Su Yuntao's face clearly through the dim light, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly:

"You...you're Lone Wolf? The Lone Wolf who killed two members of my Leng family?"

Su Yuntao waved his hand and said casually:

"That's all in the past. Now we're only talking about soul bones. Didn't you say you were willing to pay 30,000 gold soul coins to get through? Hand them over now."

Leng Qiushan ignored Su Yuntao and turned to look at the others:

"Don't be provoked by him. He's just deliberately trying to sow discord here because he has a grudge against my Leng family. Don't worry, as long as you let us leave, I, Leng Qiushan, will never go back on my word about the 30,000 gold soul coins. I guarantee this in the name of the Leng family patriarch."

Su Yuntao scoffed:

"Is the title of head of your Leng family worth that much? Do you think you're the one who's brain-dead, or are we? Do you think we'd let you leave now and then walk right into your Leng family's trap?"

The group exchanged glances, their previously relaxed expressions turning wary once more.

Su Yuntao continued:

"And you actually accused me of sowing discord? I'm a Soul Master at level 30-something. Who here isn't stronger than me? What could I possibly sow discord about? Even if I did, would that Soul Bone end up in my hands? I think you, Leng Qiushan, never even considered putting in the money."

Just as Leng Qiushan was about to retort, the strongest man among the pursuers, dressed in dark red, directly attacked him:

"Alright, everyone, there's no need to argue anymore. If we let them go today, the Leng family can investigate, and we won't be able to hide our identities. Rather than letting them go back and investigate slowly, we should just take action now."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present:

"As for the distribution, I don't believe that Leng Qiushan, the head of the Leng clan, is short of thirty to fifty thousand. In the end, that money can be divided equally among those who didn't get the soul bone, how about that?"

"good!"

"I don't trust these big families at all!"

"Three to five thousand? I don't think it's worth it!"

The murmurs of discussion among the crowd spread one after another.

Leng Qiushan's expression changed drastically instantly, and he shouted sharply to those behind him, "Split up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng's five followers immediately dispersed. Three of them escorted the agent who was holding the wooden box and rushed towards the other end of the alley, while the other two escorted Leng Qiushan to retreat through a side alley.

Although Leng Qiushan was the head of the Leng family, the wooden box contained a soul bone. Most of the people present did not hesitate for long, and several figures chased after the agent at almost the same time.

However, a few people still chose Leng Qiushan, and Su Yuntao was one of them.

His gaze remained fixed on Leng Qiushan. He knew that Leng Qiushan wouldn't just hand over the item he'd spent 130,000 gold soul coins to a mere follower. Even if such a diversionary tactic had a high chance of success, it was absolutely impossible.

Because he did not believe that a clan leader would place all his hopes on a servant.
