Chapter 115

Hesse’s home was small and simple.

There was only one woman in the room. She was curled up in a corner, but her eyes were wide open as she stared at the people walking in. She didn’t seem to be afraid at all.

Logically speaking, she should be afraid, because no matter who found her, she was dead.

He came in with Zhuang Feifei, the front and back of the house surrounded by people from the Gathering Merchant House.

It had only been half an hour since Hei Sen’s accident, it was impossible for Su Pei’s men to come looking for him.

But for safety’s sake, Zhuang Feifei still decided to take them away immediately.

“”He actually lives in such a shabby place.””

Zhuang Feifei waved her hands, and her men immediately ran over to the woman called Little Butterfly and carried her out of the room into a gunny sack.

Anthea looked around the room and saw something that looked like a ledger on the table.

He walked over and rummaged through it. Then, he frowned deeply.

Zhuang Feifei walked to An Zeng’s side and looked down. It was indeed an account book, but what he remembered was not money, but human lives.

He remembered all the things Hesse had done, one by one. He didn’t know why Hesse had such a habit.

Zhuang Feifei took the account book from An Zeng’s hands. “”You’re not suited to see this kind of thing.””

An Zhan shook his head. “”Believe me, I see more than you do.””

Zhuang Feifei shrugged her shoulders, “”Who cares about that.””

“”Maybe I can help some people.””

Zhuang Feifei looked at An Zaiyue as if he was looking at a monster, “”Those are all people Hei Sen has killed. What does that have to do with you?””

An Zhan shook his head. “”If there are orphans and widows, help them if you can.””

Zhuang Feifei did not understand the idea of the dispute, and she did not continue to fight with An for the account book.

She turned around and left. “”Let’s go. Something will happen if we stay here for too long.””

Ang nodded and followed Zhuang Feifei out of Hesse’s house.

At the Merchant House.

In a secret room in the backyard, the untied Little Die stood there, its lower jaw slightly raised, as if it was trying its best to declare its fearlessness.

Zhuang Feifei only smiled and sat down on the chair: “”Stop pretending, I’ve seen many people like you, don’t use your indifference to cover up the fear in your heart, and your current nonchalant expression doesn’t prove that you’re strong.””

“”In the face of absolute power, it doesn’t matter how strong the heart of the weak is.””

An Zeng sat down beside her and looked at the worker kneeling beside Little Die.

The clerk kept kowtowing, “”Mister, please let me go. It was all because I was confused and was tricked by this swindler.””

Mister, I beg you to give me another chance. I promise you that I will work well in Saibei and will never come back for the rest of my life.

It’s all this woman’s fault. If she hadn’t seduced me, I wouldn’t have sunk deep into her.

“”Mister, please, give me another chance.””

Xiao Die lowered her head and looked at the worker in shock.

Zhuang Feifei shrugged habitually, “”Do you feel disappointed?””

“”The man you care about is a coward.””

Xiao Die shook her head, “”I just don’t understand how he could have told such a lie.””

Zhuang Feifei picked up a small notebook beside her and flipped it open to read, “”Little Die, Fang Gengcheng’s people, have lost their parents since childhood.

When you were wandering in the streets, you were discovered by the people from the Red Moon Restaurant and brought back for training.

However, because your looks and talent are average, you are only at the bottom of the list.

“”You haven’t done anything bad since you were born. Of course, it doesn’t matter to me whether you’ve done it or not. I only want to see what you’ve done to kill me.””

Little Die looked at Zhuang Feifei, “”I’ve never thought about killing anyone, I only want money!””

Zhuang Feifei asked, “”Are there any differences between killing one person and killing one indirectly?””

Don’t say no, because people are dead.

You used the matter of the Gathering Shang Manor as a bargaining chip to prepare for the cost, and you have already forced the entire Gathering Shang Academy to a dead end.

At that time, the number of people who would die would not be just one person and two people. There might be hundreds or even thousands of people.

There are more than four thousand people in the various branches of the Gathering Merchant House. You don’t think that you want to kill anyone, but you might be able to create a monstrous killing.

Do you still think you’ve never thought about killing anyone? “”

Little Die turned around, not willing to talk.

An Zhan pointed at the assistant and asked, “”How long will it take for such a laborer who can stay at the headquarters to be nurtured?””

Zhuang Feifei replied, “”At least five years.””

An Xuan said, “”It’s a pity.””

Zhuang Feifei shook her head, “”No pity, it’s always a test that allows you to fail. The rest will make people feel at ease.””

The little fellow suddenly raised his head and asked, “”Why?!””

He stopped kowtowing, stood up, and pointed at Anjou angrily. “”Why should he send me to Saibei because of him?””

Never come back again, never meet the woman you love, spend the rest of your life in that bitter place?

“”Why?!””

Zhuang Feifei looked at the attendant and replied seriously, “”I’ll tell you on what basis, when you entered the market at sixteen, what was your first question?””

The attendant was stunned for a moment and didn’t reply.

The head storekeeper, Zhang Yifu, who was sitting at the side, said, “”The first sentence of every person selected here asks the same question. Are you all prepared to die to protect the whole of the Gathering Merchant House?””

“”If you are done, then welcome to join us. You will receive better treatment at this time and will receive more resources. You will receive more than three times the amount of money from other places. Your families will all be cared for by the Merchant House, right?””

The doorman glared at Zhang Yifu, but didn’t say a word.

Zhang Yifu sighed. “”Why are you sacrificing yourself when you are questioning me now? Because this is your own free will.””

Why didn’t you come forward when the big man was humiliated?

It was this Young Master An that had stepped forward?

Have you thought about it? ‘

He lowered his head to look at the booklet in his hand, “”The previous July, your father was seriously ill. He had a Small Revitalizing Pellet concocted by the Gathering Merchant House to prolong his life.””

To cultivators, the Small Revitalizing Pellet was nothing.

However, to ordinary people, the Small Revitalizing Pellet was a miracle medicine to revive the dead.

At that time, you swore that this life belonged to the Merchant House, do you remember? “”

Zhang Yifu said, “”The Gathering Shang Academy has never forced everyone to die. They will explain to you in detail the dangers of participating in the Gathering Shang Academy. They will tell you that you may die. You have all signed the life and death agreement.””

The people who had been destroyed in the past few years were innumerable, but the people who had been treated ruthlessly at the same time had never been willing to give up.

“”So after the incident, the first choice is to send you away. After three to five years in Saibei, when things settle down, I will bring you back.””

The shop assistant suddenly roared, “”I just don’t want to go to that damned place!””

Zhang Yifu shook his head. “”That’s why you’re wrong. You shouldn’t have done such a fatal thing, but you did it yourself.””

With a thump, the shop assistant slumped to the ground. “”I … don’t want to die!””

Zhuang Feifei replied flatly, “”If you don’t want to die, and don’t want to suffer, and don’t want to bear any responsibility, then why should I give you such a high salary?””

“”Why so much care for you?””

The clerk looked up and opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Die said coldly, “”If you die, then die. There is no other choice, why embarrass yourself?””

I don’t regret ever liking you, and I thought I’d be buried with you if I died.

But now, I don’t plan to do that. “”

She looked at Zhuang Feifei and said, “”After you kill me, don’t bury yourself with him.””

Zhuang Feifei shook her head, “”Originally, you were destined to die, but there are people who do not wish for you to die.””

Xiao Die was stunned, “”Who?””

Zhuang Feifei stared at An Zhe, “”Him.””

Xiao Die also looked at An Zeng and asked in shock, “”You... why?””

“”Answer me a question first. Why didn’t you say anything after we got into Hesse’s house?””

Little Die replied, “”If you make a ruckus, you will be beaten. Since you’re going to die, why suffer so much?””

An Xuan nodded, “”Let me ask you one more question. Who would like to ask for money from the Su Clan and the Gathering Merchant House?””

Xiao Die replied, “”No one has any thoughts. He suggested, I agree. That is our idea.””

“”If you don’t like him, will you agree?””

Xiao Die didn’t know how to answer. It stayed silent for a while.

An Nan looked at Zhuang Feifei and said, “”I feel that such a calm girl, and she is also a loyal one, is much better than your shop assistant.””

Since you can send a heartless assistant to Saibei, sending her to Saibei shouldn’t be a problem.

“”Training for a while, maybe in the future, you’ll be a good helper.””

Xiao Die was surprised, “”You... really don’t want to kill me?””

That assistant also seemed to see hope as he got up and kowtowed again, “”Thank you, sir!””

“”Thank you, sir!””

He reached out to pull Little Die’s skirt. “”Why don’t you kneel down?””

Little Die dodged to the side, her eyes filled with disgust.

“”In the end, I was the one who caused the trouble at the Gathering Merchant House.””

“”Therefore, their little calamity can be considered to have arisen because of me. How about this, I will make the decision … Considering that one of them is a first offence, while the other is trapped by love, they can be a little more lenient.””

The assistant kowtowed. “”Thank you, Young Master An. Thank you, Young Master An!””

“”I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life. You are my reincarnated parents!””

An Xuan said, “”Don’t thank me so quickly. We have to make things clear.””

If she was spared lightly, he could send her to Saibei without killing her. If he could be of use in the future, her life could be considered a foregone conclusion.

“”I’ll forgive you, but you don’t have to … die so ugly. I think leaving a complete corpse is fine.””

Under the terrified gaze of the assistant, Zhuang Feifei waved her hands: “”Pull him out, he looks disgusting.””

Two big men came over and tied up the worker. Their mouths were gagged and they pulled him out.

Xiao Die looked at the worker from time to time. Apparently, she was reluctant to part with him. She tried to beg for mercy a few times, but in the end, she couldn’t.

Because she really was a very calm person, because she knew that nothing she said would make sense.

“”Thank …””

She wanted to thank Anjou, but Anjou stopped her.

An Zhan looked at her and said, “”There’s no need to thank me. Even if I said it, I had no choice but to thank Mister Xie if the Gathering Shang Academy doesn’t let you go.””

And remember, you don’t think you’re trying to kill anyone, but the moment you think about it, thousands of lives are hanging with you.

“”Let’s go to Saibei. During the first few years, your every move will be watched by the Gathering Merchant Guild. If there’s nothing else in a few years, you can go to the Great Xi if you want. That place is much more prosperous than Saibei after all.””

“”No.””

Little Die suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhuang Fei Fei, “”Take me in.””

Zhuang Feifei asked, “”Why?””

Xiao Die looked up and replied, “”I don’t want to die.””

Zhuang Fei Fei was silent for a moment, then she nodded, “”This reason is enough. Take her to our branch in Saibei. Don’t show your face for the first three years and learn how to pack from the shopkeeper over there.

“”If you fail to learn in three years, you can either die, or scram and die.””

She pointed to the struggle. “”I am not him. I do not have the heart of a Bodhisattva.

But I have my word that I will not kill you if I promise him not to.

“”But don’t disappoint me. I’ll give you the chance. It’ll depend on how you grasp it.””

An Zhan gave a bitter smile. “”I’m not a Bodhisattva either.””

Zhuang Feifei looked at him seriously and said: “”You are not a Bodhisattva, a Bodhisattva does not kill.””

“”I don’t know what you are. I knew you were scary.””

“”I am an ordinary person, very ordinary.””

Xiao Die couldn’t help asking, “”Who... is he?””

Zhuang Feifei answered thoughtfully, “”A... person who cannot be seen through.””
