Chapter 407: Collecting Debts

Book:Back To Thrones Published:2025-2-7

The bamboo house had been blocked off because of the incident, and several other restaurants in the neighborhood had also been blocked off. The doors were all closed.
Kayden stood in the doorway and looked around. He didn’t see anything special, but he could see this was a tourist site.
The bamboo house was built in a relatively quiet area, with a river next to the building and a park alongside the river. It looked like a quiet place for relaxation.
Kayden walked around the bamboo house to the back. The place was next to the river, and at this point in the day, there weren’t many people.
In order not to arouse suspicion, he looked around before he set his foot and flew straight upstairs!
Ordinary people could never jump this high.
But Kayden was different, he could jump up to over ten meters. With some help, he could jump dozens of meters high.
It took Chi cultivation to achieve that!
The Chi in the body makes the body super light. One could walk incredibly fast with Chi.
With just a tiny bit of it, one can fly up in the air.
Of course, it was unusual.
Such a skill was beyond human understanding, so it should avoid being seen. It wasn’t what people were taught in school and beyond science.
There are too many things in this world that can’t be explained and should be hidden from the masses.
Arriving on the second floor of the bamboo house, Kayden smelled blood!
Kayden had killed thousands of men and was familiar with the smell. And by stopping by a place where someone had died, he could sense who and how many people died there!
Standing on the second floor of this bamboo house, it was obvious to him that a lot of people had died there.
Looking at the bamboo tables and chairs, he slowly approached.
He raised his hand to scrape the table and then sniffed it up his nose! A faint odor of blood.
There had been a silver needle stabbing into the throat of whoever died here.
Ghost Needle of the Five Ghosts used Baekui Five Needles to kill people, and this murderer also used needles!
Could it be a woman?
Just as this thought came to him, an image emerged inside his mind.
Wood was sitting on the second floor, enjoying the light breeze and the day when a graceful woman came to her side.
He didn’t know what the two had talked about but soon saw that Wood was struggling.
Immediately after that, several men from the Battlefield came over.
The woman showed no mercy and just killed them, and took Wood away.
Kayden snapped back to reality and frowned.
What was that? How did he see it?
Kayden did have special senses when he stood in places where people had died, but this had never happened before, even when he was in his prime!
But now, by some miracle, he could see!
What’s going on here?
Was it because of the Ninefold Dragon-Chi inside him?
At the thought, he raised his hand and touched his chest, sensing it.
Perhaps this injury had actually awakened the Ninefold Dragon-Chi within him!
Whether it was or wasn’t because of that, since his body had recovered half of its power, he felt that his body had changed significantly.
He came to the bamboo house just to have a look around, and in the meantime, find Wood’s whereabouts and the person who had been behind everything. For more information, he had to ask the owner of this place.
With that thought, he jumped off the bamboo house and headed for the park.
Just as he arrived at the park, he was captivated by an image in front of him.
He saw a young girl in her 20s, who was with a ponytail, wearing back pants and sneakers, kneeling in front of a middle-aged man.
The girl was young and looked like a girl-next-door.
While the middle-aged man, who sat on the stone bench, looked rich yet unfriendly with a buzz cut and a gold chain around his neck.
At this moment, the girl’s face was full of tears as she stammered, “Mr. Thomas, I beg you, please give me back my money. My mom has terminal stomach cancer and needs a large sum of money for an operation. We have borrowed from everyone we know and sold everything we had. We couldn’t think of any other way, so I came to you! Please give me back the money so I can save my mom…”
“A kind man like you will be blessed!”
The middle-aged man folded his arms, and with a cold look, he sneered, ”Shut it! Didn’t I tell you already? Give me two days. I need time to get all that money together, right? My apartment in the city has just been renovated, and I don’t have much cash in my hand now! Besides, I just lost a lot of money to gambling. Will you just leave me alone?”
Hearing this, the girl sobbed even sadder, she whimpered, “Mr. Thomas, when my dad was sick, you asked us to wait for two days, but that wait killed my dad. Now that my mom is sick, I can’t wait another two days! I’m begging you! Please save my mom!”
The middle-aged man was a little impatient. With a frown, he said, “Don’t pull those bullshit with me. I borrowed the money from your dad, not from you. It should be your dad asking me for the money, not you!”
Owen Thomas was indeed a jerk. He said such words knowing the girl’s father could never collect the debt again.
But that was how things were. It’s hard to get back the money lent.
“Mr. Thomas, my father is dead. How can he ask you for the money?” The girl replied.
The middle-aged man spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said, “Yeah! That’s what I mean. Your dad’s dead, so leave me alone!”
When the girl heard this, she almost broke down. She tightly grabbed Owen’s arm and said pitifully, “Just consider me begging you, okay? I beg you!”
After saying the words, the girl banged her head heavily on the ground.
There were thumping sounds.
Owen said with a helpless face, “It changes nothing. Besides, it’s bad luck for me. Stop that.”
The girl was at her wit’s end, and this was probably the only way she could think of.
Owen scratched the back of his head, his eyes glanced over the girl’s body, and he said, “Didn’t I tell you before? Although you have average looks, you have a nice figure. You can trade it for money. I’m sure within two months, you’ll be able to gather the money.”
Speaking of this, as if he had suddenly discovered a business opportunity, he continued, “Why don’t you work with me? I’ll introduce you. I know a lot of people and I guarantee that you will make lots of money! By then, you’ll not only be able to save your mother but also buy a large apartment for you both!”
