Chapter Twenty-Four: One Step Late
Candle Ye walked slowly in the direction of the figure, only to see that one of the mercenaries was holding a knife against the woman's neck, and the other mercenaries were standing beside him, and the two people standing in front were the fat man and the bamboo pole.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm Dieshu's classmate, and I won't let them hurt you. Candle Ye showed a voice to comfort Dieshu's mother, so as not to over-agitate the other party and relapse the old illness.
"Haha...... "The fat man laughed, with a hint of madness in his laughter, "Of course we won't hurt her, we're going to hurt ......"
"It's youββ!!"
The fat man and the bamboo pole, as well as the remaining mercenaries, swarmed up, leaving only the hostage-taking mercenary still in place.
As long as the hostages are in their hands, Candle Ye will not dare to resist, this is the source of all their self-confidence, otherwise the strength of these mercenaries will only be the strength of the lower spirit envoys.
"Greedy Dragon ......" Candle Ye said this name softly as if he was chanting a spell, and then his originally brown eyes began to gradually become as dark as night.
The black and red spiritual power poured out from Candle Ye's body, and Candle Ye easily grabbed the head of a mercenary who rushed towards him, and the spiritual power attached to the latter's body was immediately swept away, and then the poor man could only be obediently grabbed by Candle Ye and pressed his head to the ground, the skull came into close contact with the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and life and death were unknown.
The black and red spiritual power surrounded Candle Ye, and the fat man thought of Candle Ye's appearance in the morning, just like now, like a dark and bloodthirsty demon.
"You...... How dare you resist!!" Seeing this, the others immediately stopped rushing forward and looked behind them, wanting to make the hostage-taker also start to do something to Dieshu's mother.
But what they saw when they turned around...... It's not the same scene anymore.
Their precious hostages were now gone, and their companions ...... He had already fallen to the ground, and his life and death were also unknown......
The most important thing is that they didn't see a single figure at all! They can be sure that there has been no sound behind them from just now to now, and it is as if death has quietly walked by, quietly harvesting life and then quietly leaving. It's eerily quiet.
This group of mercenaries has been doing this for so long, and they have never felt this sense of despair. They know their own strength, so they never dare to provoke those powerful people, according to their information, they are facing a student who should be hiding in an ivory tower, even if it is a median spirit envoy, he should be just a child, seeing their group of murderous mercenaries, they should be scared to call their mother.
However, now, this student is in front of them, and his actions are more bloodthirsty and murderous than theirs.
The people who want to cry and call their mother now are their big men.
What's even more terrifying is that they can't escape at all - don't forget, in addition to this "demon" standing in the light, there is also the "Grim Reaper" hiding in the shadows.
Despair, that's how they feel right now, and hell, that's the scene they best describe as they are now.
First, there were a few sounds of "ping pong", which was the sound of the mercenaries throwing away their weapons, and then a few "plops" sounded, which was the sound of the mercenaries kneeling.
Eventually, they could not bear the pressure and surrendered.
"Hey!!How many of you!!Did Lao Tzu pay you to come here to make you kneel for him?!" The fat man's angry voice sounded, and although the bamboo pole did not shout loudly, the expression on his face was also quite wonderful.
One of the mercenaries took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it in front of the fat man, "I will give you back the money, we will not do this business." β
"A few of us have eyes and don't know Taishan, please let us go. Of course, this sentence was said to Candle Ye.
"Leave you alone? β
Hearing this, the mercenaries saw hope in their eyes.
"It's just ......" Candle Ye paused here deliberately, he knew that this group of old fritters would definitely understand what he meant.
"Oh-" The mercenary led by him immediately understood, and said with a smile, "Look at my memory...... Not only did we disturb you, but we also annoyed your friend's mother, and of course we needed to 'make amends'. β
After that, he took out a money bag from his pocket again, held it in both hands and handed it to Candle Ye, but this time, it should be his own money bag.
Candle Ye took the money bag and checked it, without squeaking, just waving his hand.
Seeing Candle Ye's reaction, the mercenaries immediately picked up their weapons from the ground, and several people lifted the two unknown guys on the ground and fled.
Soon only the three of them were left, such as Candle Ye, Fat Man and Bamboo Pole.
Walking slowly towards the two of them, Candle Ye didn't take a single step, and the other two felt a little more pressure.
In addition to Candle Ye's killing intent, there is also the dragon power of the greedy dragon as the dragon king.
Candle Ye finally walked in front of the two, but the two of them didn't even dare to take a breath of resistance, let alone resist.
"Next...... What should I do with you?" Candle Ye picked up the money bag returned to the fat man by the mercenary captain from the ground, stood up and said to the two of them with a smile.
It was the devil's smile, and that smile seemed to say, "Welcome to Hell."
β¦β¦
"Mother, mother...... Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me......"
"Auntie...... Aunt ......"
Dieshu's mother gradually woke up to find herself lying on the bed in her home, in the cabin not far from the college.
"Shu'er ......"
"Mother, mother, you're awake!!" Dieshu cried with joy and hugged her mother and cried. Completely disregarding the others present.
"Shu'er...... So many people are watching, don't cry, isn't it okay to mother?"
Dieshu then remembered that there was not only their mother and daughter in the room, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears and smiled at everyone with a flushed face.
"Haha, it's okay Dieshu, everyone is their own person, we won't say it. Shanna smiled with a wave of her hand.
"Yes, yes...... We're not going to say it...... Woo woo woo ......" Hu Dawu cried along, it seems that his tears are as low as the ignition.
"Why are you crying with that?" Luo Tianhao held his forehead and complained about Hu Dawu as always.
The expression on Liu Bingyue's face was a little softer, and it seemed that she was also quite touched by this.
The most unusual of all was Patricia, who was unusually quiet, and no one noticed the tears in her eyes, for everyone thought that the eldest lady had had everything since she was a child.
"Auntie, this is a little caution on the part of a few of us. Candle Ye took out the two money bags she had just gotten from her arms and put them in front of Dieshu and her mother.
"This ......," the mother and daughter both hesitated.
Candle Ye moved her mouth, although she didn't make a sound, Dieshu still knew what he said.
"Don't forget, favors. β
"Mother, since it's everyone's heart, then let's take it. Dieshu said reluctantly to her mother.
Alas, in this way, don't you owe more and more favors?
"Okay...... "My daughter said so, what else can I do?
"Well, it's getting late, let's go back, don't delay my aunt's rest. Candle Ye got up and took Lingyu's little hand and walked out of the wooden house.
"Goodbye, auntie......" Everyone also said goodbye politely.
Outside the door, Hu Dawu couldn't help it, and asked Candle Ye: "Candle Ye, you just said that the money is everyone's mind, but it's obviously your money!"
"Stupid you, where did I get so much money? That's the 'loot' just now. β
"But that's still yours, how can you say it's everyone's?"
"If it weren't for everyone helping to stop the teacher at the training ground, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to beat that fat man, let alone come to 'give' the 'loot'...... So this credit should be shared by everyone. β
"Haha, but I gave everyone's money to Dieshu without authorization, you definitely won't mind, right?" Candle Ye added embarrassedly, scratching his head.
"Candle Ye, you guy......"
"What a brother I deserve!!"
"Ah......h
Hey, this guy has the strength and doesn't invite credit...... Maybe he really has leadership skills. Luo Tianhao thought in his heart, he really didn't make the wrong friend.
β¦β¦
"This ...... This money...... It's too much......" The mother and daughter opened their money bags and were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
Dieshu herself didn't expect to have so much money.
"Let's just take a little bit of this money, and you can return the rest, in fact, my mother's illness is almost better, but I was overworked a while ago, and I have been raising it for a year, so I don't need so much money." β
"Mother, are you really okay?" Dieshu's eyes were still full of worry.
"No problem. It's just overworked, do you still want me to lie in bed for the rest of my life?" Dieshu's mother joked, and hugged Dieshu distressedly, touching the latter's head, "Alas, it's all bad for my mother, and I delayed you for a year." β
"Mother, don't delay, as long as you can get better. β
"Silly child......" Dieshu's words made her mother even more distressed.
"Child......"
"Huh?"
"Do you like that little boy named 'Candle Ye'?"
"Mother, what are you talking about?!" Dieshu's face flushed, and she gently nudged her mother.
"You don't have to hide it from your mother, you can't hide it either, your mother is also from this age. The mother smiled and said, "The little boy is very handsome, but he seems to like the girl in the black dress?"
"Yes...... They've all lived together. β
"That girl is also very beautiful, no wonder she can make that boy like it. β
"Motherββ, don't talk about it......"
"Alas, silly boy, it's a step too late......"
