Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

As soon as Gao Jie entered and saw his parents being bullied like this, a murderous aura appeared in his eyes, and a cold glint appeared on his body, as if he were a weapon in human form.

Gao Jie watched from the side, secretly vowing that if that guy who came to collect the debt dared to harm his parents again...

Even if it's just a matter of touching a single hair on their head, he would rush up and fight that person to the death, even if it meant his own demise.

At this moment, Gao Jie's parents saw him return. They were both anxious and scared, and kept trying to signal to him with their eyes.

Their eyes were filled with fear and worry, and they desperately urged Gao Jie to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, and not to stay here.

But Gao Jie seemed completely oblivious to his parents' hints, simply standing there quietly, his eyes cold and resolute.

The debt collector sensed something was off, turned around and saw Gao Jie, then immediately grinned.

"Hey, this is interesting, kid. Come here."

The man said, "There's an old saying: 'The son pays for the father's debts.' If you can't pay back the money today, I'm taking you with me. From now on, you'll be working for me, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jie's father, Gao Zhanlin, immediately panicked and hurriedly said...

"Brother Long, I understand the principle of paying back debts. But I did all this on my own; it has nothing to do with my son. Please let him go. He's still young and doesn't understand anything!"

The debt collector, nicknamed Black Dragon, snorted disdainfully and spoke in a gruff voice.

"Why are you rambling on and on with all that nonsense?"

Then he turned to Gao Jie.

"Kid, your dad owes me 50,000 Alliance Coins, and now with interest, it's ballooned to 70,000. I'm here today specifically to collect that 7,000 in interest. If your parents can't come up with it, I'll have to take you away and make you sell your blood to pay the interest. Does that sound acceptable?"

Gao Jie remained silent. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Heilong raised his hand and punched Gao Zhanlin hard in the stomach without saying a word.

After the fight, he deliberately flaunted his status as a second-tier expert, arrogantly saying...

"I know what you're thinking. If anyone dared to hit my dad like that, I'd be so angry I'd want to kill them too. But do you have the guts? I'll say it again, hand over the money now."

The parents stood there, watching all this, their faces filled with helplessness and despair, their bodies trembling slightly with fear.

They simply couldn't think of any way to solve their current predicament.

Mother Wang Fang sighed.

"Brother Long, how about we sell the house to pay off your debts?"

"Give us some time, and we promise you won't lose a single penny."

Black Dragon's eyes gleamed with greed; Wang Fang was just as the peonies were in full bloom.

I've been wanting to make a move on Wang Fang for a long time...

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Gao Jie stopped him and stood in front of Wang Fang.

"Black Dragon, if I pay interest today, will you let my family go?"

Hearing this, Black Dragon laughed and looked at the young man with great interest.

"That's right. If you can come up with the money, I'll let your parents go. But I'll be back in three days. Either pay the full amount, or I'll continue charging 7000 in interest. Understand?"

Good grief, is this guy here to skin us alive?

Gao Jie immediately took out his phone.

"I'll give you 7000 Alliance Coins. That's my scholarship money. Don't make things difficult for my parents."

Black Dragon curled his lip.

"Using Alliance Coins for scholarships? This is the first time I've ever heard of it. Aren't we usually just giving certificates? When did your school become so impressive?"

"You better not mess with me, or I'll tear your tendons apart in front of everyone, you hear me?"

Gao Jie immediately scanned the remaining 7000 yuan, and his balance returned to three digits... He was back to square one overnight...

"I've already given you the money, don't make things difficult for me, you promised me."

Black Dragon gave a cold laugh.

"Alright, young man, I won't bully you. It's settled then. I'll come back in three days. Remember that."

Black Dragon's eyes scanned Wang Fang's figure, and he couldn't help but swallow.

He knew that sooner or later this woman would beg him, so he wasn't in a hurry.

He swaggered away with his underlings.

Wang Fang's eyes were almost swollen from crying as she took the fish from her son's hands.

"It's okay, Mom will make you some fish stew. Did you catch it or buy it?"

To avoid worrying his parents, Gao Jie lied.

"This was caught by Ah Niu's dad. I heard that some fish escaped from a reservoir."

Gao Zhanlin forced a smile; his temples were already somewhat gray. He had been working tirelessly for his family.

"Ah Niu's dad is really something, but it would be even better if we could sell this fish..."

"I'll learn to fish later, and hopefully we can improve our family's living conditions."

Gao Zhanlin turned and went to the kitchen to work with Wang Fang.

Gao Jie felt a little sad.

Unexpectedly, not only were his parents injured, but he also incurred high-interest loans. If he comes back the day after tomorrow, he will either have to pay off the loan in full or pay them 7000 yuan in interest for nothing.

However, he had seen the offensive look in Black Dragon's eyes just now.

After hanging up his backpack, Gao Jie opened the system panel.

"Black Dragon, I'll make you pay!"

The limit for side effect designators has been reached, and there are currently no new rewards.

Gao Jie clicked on one of them.

After some thought, Principal Zhu was removed from the list and replaced with Heilong.

"I need to make him pay the price. What kind of side effect should I arrange for him?"

He was lying in bed, pondering something, when he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a depressing pill that someone had given him under the bed.

"Wow, it's been stored for five years, it should still be edible, right?"

Gao Jie opened the box, and after just one sniff, he felt nauseous from the strong smell of medicine.

But now he can't wait any longer; he's determined to deal with the Black Dragon.

I put the pill in my mouth, but it was too big to swallow.

It was so awkward to be stuck like that.

Meanwhile, He Lian, having finished halfway through his bowel movement, finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally emptied his bowels completely.

"What happened? How did I become like this?"

He slowly tried to get up, but felt as if something was stuck in his throat. A strong sense of crisis made him tear his clothes and gasp for breath.

Unfortunately, it felt like there was a piece of wood stuck in my throat, and I couldn't breathe at all.

He was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground, his face turning purple.

Meanwhile, Heilong wasn't in much better shape. He took his men out for a meal and happened to see a lone little girl.

"Little sister, come out and play with me in a little while, okay? Don't worry, I'm a very nice person."

"If you agree to go out with me, I'll buy you a new phone, okay?"

The little girl was terrified. She had only come here to find someone, but she never expected to run into that bastard, Black Dragon.

"I'm just looking for someone, please don't make things difficult for me."

Black Dragon gave a cold laugh.

"What do you mean by 'I'm making things difficult for you'?"

"I've taken a liking to you, little girl. So you'd better obediently let me take advantage of you, understand?"

Black Dragon was about to reach out triumphantly when a sudden, intense feeling of suffocation in his throat caused him to collapse to the ground.

He writhed and rolled around desperately, the pain so intense that he couldn't utter a sound.

Seeing that no one was around, the little girl mustered her courage and kicked the black dragon hard in the crotch before running away in a hurry.

Black Dragon's eyes rolled back, and he instantly fainted from the pain.

When he woke up again, Gao Jie finally managed to swallow the pill with a beverage.

He couldn't help but cough twice, and felt somewhat uncomfortable while eating.

Gao Zhanlin and Wang Fang thought he had caught a cold, so they stewed him a big bowl of soup.

After finishing their meal, Gao Jie took A Niu and set off.
