March 7th chuckled awkwardly a few times, "Haha...hahaha...hahaha...ha...is that it? Are you satisfied now?"

"The laughter was dry and lacked melody, like having a razor blade stuck in my throat. Although I'm not particularly satisfied, I'll just have to accept it as satisfactory."

Hearing this awkward and irritating language, March 7th chose to endure it.

Walter sorted through the existing information. "All the clues now point to one person: the manager of Sanyu Bookstore—Yinshu."

Qiong shook his head and said, "Shouldn't we just go to that dock and check the Starship Records? Then catch that blond guy and interrogate him thoroughly."

March 7th said helplessly, "I feel that it's less about Uncle Yang having a grudge against that Rakshasa, and more about you having a grudge against the Rakshasa."

Walter needed to clarify that he had no grudge against Rakshasa; his grudge was against another blond-haired man. "In March, I had no prior acquaintance or hatred towards that Rakshasa gentleman. It's just that he looks remarkably like an old friend of mine, and that old friend..."

"It all started with a Thanksgiving plan being exposed, because that blond guy couldn't stand the betrayal and killed... Hey, Old Yang, what's up? I'm just explaining it to you."

Walter pressed his cane against Hua Wu's chest. "There's no need to explain too much, especially about this. They... don't need to know this."

When Qiong heard the word "kill," combined with Walter's stress response... he felt he must have guessed right; it seemed to really be a massacre of an entire family.

Qiong whispered to Xing, "Why don't we check Uncle Yang's household registration, find out the other blond guy, and then..." Qiong made a throat-slitting gesture.

“That makes sense,” Xing secretly investigated, but she found nothing. Walter’s background was too clean; he was just an anonymous passenger on the Starry Sky Train. “Ah, Uncle Yang’s background information… is spotless. I couldn’t even find out about his parents, let alone the massacre you mentioned.”

Qiong looked bewildered. "Huh? Then we can only treat this blond guy as that guy and beat him up. We can't kill him without evidence, unless we can pin something on him like the Medicine King's secret technique."

Xing whispered, "That makes sense. I happen to have a damaged version of the Dragon Coiled and Leaping. Didn't those dragon masters bleed a lot yesterday? I took a little bit and made this pack. Although I don't know what this thing is for, it should be good for covering up his mistakes."

Qiong was shocked. "What is that? That weird stuff? What did you do with the other medicinal herbs? You didn't spend that 800 million, did you?"

Xing looked speechless. "Would I be willing to spend money on those things? I can just plant them in any flowerpot, right?"

Chapter 123 Foxman: Intelligence requires 1000 patrol arrows. Hua Wu: You want money from me? Tiger Explosive Fist!

"I suddenly realize your destiny is much easier than mine. What can this destiny of destruction do besides hammering and banging? It's a complete waste." Qiong realized that power wasn't omnipotent. Of course, it's also possible that his power wasn't great enough.

Xing said helplessly, "But my destiny doesn't have any offensive power."

"This is a superior mechanism. You can practice the stats, but the mechanism itself is hard to learn," Qiong said, crossing her arms and extending one palm towards Xing.

"I want to learn this but I can't. Am I the only one with such simple stats? You're all about healing and technology, you have a shield in March, Uncle Yang can unleash a bunch of cannons and black holes with a wave of his hand, and Dan Heng's water dragon outlives me. I'm the only one holding a baseball bat, all I know how to do is bang and bang."

Xing added, "You can also use your fists to bang and punch. By the way, aren't you also a master weapon forger?"

Qiong gave a forced smile, "Heh... My assessment is, a talent for nothing."

March 7th patted the two people huddled together for an encrypted call, "What are you two still talking about? This is clearly a request from both of you. Come on, Uncle Yang and the other two have already left."

Sanyu Bookstore —

Walter looked toward the bookstore; the front desk was empty, making it look nothing like a bookstore.

"It's not closing time yet, so he shouldn't have gone too far. Should we wait here? And maybe wait for Xiao Sanyue and the others?"

Hua Wu walked straight to a fox-person next to the bookstore. "Are you helping the shopkeeper mind the store?"

The fox-man on guard asked in confusion, "Shopkeeper? You mean the Hidden Book? Yes, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Danheng looked at the fox-person. "Where is she?"

Upon seeing the two unfamiliar faces, the fox-man decided to take the opportunity to make some extra money. "Why should I tell you two? You two look... like outsiders, don't you?"

Hua Wu: ?

"What up? Do I look like a barbarian to you?"

The fox-man said directly, "I can tell you, but pay me 500 patrol coins."

Hua Wu laughed in anger. He'd even donned his fierce tiger suit, and yet he still managed to run into someone so blind! This was unbelievable. "What the heck? You actually dare to ask me for money? Even Jing Yuan wouldn't dare ask me for money, and you dare? You're even more powerful than Jing Yuan. Damn it, do you want to take a punch?"

The fox-man chuckled. "Wait, who are you? What's your background? The general doesn't dare ask you for money? Brother, you're exaggerating a bit!"

Dan Heng said in a deep voice, "We are cooperating with the Earth Balance Division in investigating the case. If you know this, you'd better tell him. Because if he wants to hit you, I can't stop him."

Hua Wu tried to calm himself down, thinking that he shouldn't be so impulsive on the path of exploration. "I'll give you another chance, but you'd better think it through before you speak."

The fox-man tried to increase his own value and squeeze out more extra money, saying, "You two, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop. I don't care where you two come from, but do you know where I come from? I left Luofu ten years ago and negotiated a deal worth three million patrol coins. I only came back last year. Impressive, right? Because you two wasted so much of my time, the price of intelligence has gone up. Now it's only 1000 patrol coins."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wu realized that since this fox-person was so ungrateful, unreasonable, and refused to cooperate with the investigation, he had no choice but to resort to physics.

"Ha, let's not even talk about whether what you said is true. You negotiated a deal worth three million in patrol coins. Dude, you're asking me for 1000? You've even been reduced to working as a shopkeeper for someone else? For someone like you who brags without batting an eye, I'll just... unleash my Tiger Explosive Fist! Bite!!!"

Dan Heng was dumbfounded. Did the Hunting General start his attack with zero frames like this? If this punch landed properly, wouldn't the fox-man minding the shop be torn to pieces?

Before Dan Heng could stop it, the fist had already flown to the fox-man's face.

"Bang----"

"Ah!!! No, you really hit me?! The Earth Balance Division is using excessive force, I'm going to file a complaint!!!" the fox-person said angrily, clutching his left cheek, which was swollen like a loaf of bread.

Seeing that the man was still alive, Danheng continued, "I told you, if you know anything, tell him as soon as possible. If he wants to hit you, I can't stop him."

"You're alive now because you have information I don't know. Not because you're tough. Wait, why am I asking you this?" Hua Wu suddenly remembered that he could directly use the Righteous Qi Query Technique (Soul Search), so why was he wasting his breath talking here?

"I forgot? I'll just check your memory."

Upon hearing this, the fox-man retreated frantically, for he no longer dared to doubt that this malevolent figure before him was truly capable of fighting.

"Wait, no...you can't check memories. What has the Earth Balance Division been doing for the past 10 years? How come their technology is so advanced? They can even look into memories directly? Don't check me, I'll tell you everything."

Hua Wu found this interesting. "The more afraid you are, the more I feel there's something shady going on in your memory. Is your three million-dollar patrol car business some kind of smuggling dangerous goods?"

"No, I'm telling you, the owner of this shop went to the food street next door and used a coupon. That three million coins was just something I made up to get you to pay more. Actually, I lost three hundred thousand coins when I went out, and then I ran out of money and came back. It's so shameful. As a fox-person who's good at business, I actually lost three hundred thousand. Sigh, it's so embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wu thought, "Fine, fine, you actually dare to rip me off. Huh? Just for a piece of information about a boss going out for snacks, you want 1000 coins? I feel you deserve a VIP seat in the Imperial Household Department. Just charge you with fraud and illegal transactions."

The fox-man retreated repeatedly, "What? I haven't even swindled any money yet, and you've already punched me. Now you want to arrest me? Are all the people in the Earthly Balance Bureau this lawless? I'm going to file a huge complaint against you at the Earthly Balance Bureau!"

"Although you didn't manage to swindle any money, you still committed attempted fraud. And do you even know who I am? You can't do anything to me, not even to the Diheng Division or the Shence Prefecture. In Luofu, my name is Jifeng. I'm the one who took down the Medicine King's Secret Sect. Do you think you're tougher than the Medicine King's Secret Sect? How many heads do you have? You dare to ask me for money?"

The fox-man was stunned. He thought that the so-called Ferocious Tiger was just a rumor, since he had never seen such a person when he returned to Luofu.

"What? That Tiger General isn't just a rumor? There really is such a person?"

Dan Heng looked at the frightened fox-man and pressed down on Hua Wu's shoulder. "That's enough, that's enough."

Hua Wu nodded, then looked at the fox-man, "You can ask for a certain amount of money for providing information, but you insist on asking for so much, and even raised the price halfway through. Heh, you're lucky this time. If I find you doing this kind of thing again, you won't get out without spending decades in the Earthly Balance Bureau."

The fox-man felt utterly humiliated; his fraudulent dreams had been shattered with a single punch. "I was wrong. If I see you again, I'll run far away. I'll never bother you again. Ouch, that really hurts."

He vowed never to set such a high price again. Next time, he would definitely adopt a low-profit, high-volume strategy. Trying to fleece one sheep at a time was a huge mistake. Who knows if that white-furred creature is actually a sheep? What if it's a tiger that has crawled out of the snow? That would be disastrous.

(Guys, my school start date has been extended to September 2nd. It hasn't rained in Chongqing for over half a month, and I'm still using an electric fan. It's 42 degrees Celsius every day, I'm seriously fucking sick.)

Chapter 124 A Tribute to the Legendary Toilet Plunger Wholesaler – Rakshasa

Hua Wu said to Xing, Qiong, and San Yueqi who rushed over, "You guys are too slow. I got the information in no time."

Dan Heng rubbed his forehead. "Next time, let's not use excessive force. Although he might not be a good person either."

Hua Wu said nonchalantly, "What do you mean by violent law enforcement? It's just that I punched him. This is called a heavy blow against organized crime."

Upon hearing this, she felt that the good reputation of the family's generations of influence might be ruined by the person in front of her. "I think you are the biggest evil force in Luofu."

"How could that be? I neither steal nor rob. The cruelest thing I did on Luofu was performing the Medicine King's Secret Flying Parade." At this point, Hua Wu waved his hands.

March 7th was puzzled, "Flying parade? What's that?"

Qiong looked smug. "You don't know this, do you? They cut off the head and hung it on the patrol ship. Then they flew around Luofu."

Xing added from the side, "It's a bit short. That head has to be cooked. If it's raw, it will regenerate, and it won't look good."

March 7th slowly backed away, "You two...how can you say such terrible things with such a calm expression? How did you two know?"

Qiong looked at March 7 and said, "Hua Ge said it himself, and it's also Jing Yuan's official certification."

Xing added, "Oh, I forgot. Didn't we meet once? That leader named Dan Shu. Although I didn't see what she looked like, her vitality was incredibly strong. Hua Wu threw her into the black hole."

Qiong clapped her hands and said, "That's right."

March 7th kept backing away, saying, "When did you do this? You all seem like strangers to me."

Hua Wu looked bewildered. "I was cruel to them because they were even crueler to others, and I wouldn't do that kind of thing anymore. I don't need to say how kind I am anymore. Anyway, I have to find excuses now. Before, I would just do it first and ask for permission later."

He paused and continued, "Furthermore, I cannot kill any guilty people who uphold the Dharma now. The only one who died was angered to death by Dan Heng, and according to Jing Yuan, that one-eared one seems to have failed in his reincarnation. I wonder if he has laid eggs yet, and whether they have rotted in the ancient sea?"

Dan Heng was shocked. He never expected that the Dragon Master would lose one of his dragons so quickly. "Uh... he failed to reincarnate?!"

Hua Wu replied, "Yeah, it probably failed. Anyway, it's still floating there, and it doesn't seem to have sunk yet. As expected of the orthodox power of the Dragon Lord, it easily eliminated him."

On March 7th, she suddenly felt that the people in front of her had become very unfamiliar, and she didn't even know what Luo Fu was like.

She hadn't even properly explored the area yet, and these people in front of her had already caused deaths in Luofu.

It is indeed several major versions ahead of hers.

"Danheng did it too? The four of you..."

“Jing Yuan agreed. He saw how Dan Heng scared that Dragon Master to death, and he even told Dan Heng not to take it to heart. What does that mean? It means that Jing Yuan has wanted to kill these guys for a long time, but I don’t know why he’s been hesitant to do it.” Hua Wu looked at San Yueqi, whose feelings were somewhat complicated at the moment.

Ask her to fight criminals and uphold justice, fine. Ask her to kill criminals? Then she'll start to hesitate.

The sharp blade of morality would hover over her heart, and she would begin to question whether she truly had the right to take another's life.

"I still find it hard to let go of what you've done."

Walter watched the scene unfold, and for March 7, who was accustomed to seeing death, it was indeed somewhat cruel.

“Little March, this kind of thing is very normal. People are always forced into situations. If we are merciful to the wicked, then how should we treat the kind? The person who creates suffering loses the right to be merciful when he creates suffering.”

“Old Yang is the most reasonable one. If he’s hiding away and making his own inventions, I have no problem with that Medicine King’s Secret Manual. But if he’s randomly picking test subjects from among the Luofu people, you’ll see if I don’t kill him,” Hua Wu said, gazing at the crimson clouds on the horizon.

Walter looked at Hua Wu and said, "You're quite murderous too. Let's take care of the matter at hand first."

"Are you all... looking to buy a book?" A little girl carrying snacks walked up to the group. Xing recognized her immediately; this was the hidden book she had found.

"You are the Hidden Book, aren't you?"

"Yes, it's me. What's up?"

Walter squatted down and then mimicked an image of a Rakshasa.

"Hello, have you seen this man before? This is very important to me personally."

Yin Shu stared at the picture for a moment. "I vaguely remember this man. After the bookstore closed that day, I wanted to find a quiet place to read, so I wandered around the streets for a while."
