From Resident Evil to becoming a gacha god

Chapter 96 Overbearing Aura, Swiftly Arriving at the Huang Mansion

Hu Wan, the head steward of the Huang family, has been beaten!

Who is Master Huang of the Huang family? He is the biggest landlord in Goose City, with hundreds of servants at home. He also has an unclear relationship with a major warlord in the north, making a fortune from the national crisis by trading opium. His family's wealth is as big as a mountain.

How dare this Taoist priest hit his head steward? Has he gone mad?

"Disaster! Disaster!"

"Yes, Hu Wan was beaten in front of all of us. What if Master Huang investigates?"

"Foolish! This young Taoist priest has a full forehead and a dignified appearance; he might very well be an enlightened master!"

"So what if you've attained enlightenment? Can you compare to hundreds of spears?"

"Hard to say, have you forgotten that bolt of lightning this morning?"

Everyone immediately fell silent, realizing that they couldn't afford to offend either side. After a couple of seconds of silence, they lowered their heads and hurriedly dispersed.

Xiao Miao walked up to the short young man, speechless: "Kid, never make a major decision when you're out of control. You've been tricked."

"You're even more wicked than him," he said. "What's so wicked about cutting open your own stomach? He'd already conspired with the jelly vendor, waiting for you to jump into the trap."

"Well said!"

A round of applause broke out, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside the jelly shop: "Liu Zi, why don't you kneel down and thank the Taoist priest for saving your life?"

The young man named Liu Zi knelt down with a thud: "Thank you, Daoist Master!"

Now that he had calmed down and his blood had subsided, Liu Zi recalled the harsh words he had just uttered and broke out in a cold sweat.

I almost lost my life!

"I am Ma Bangde, the county magistrate of Goose City!" The middle-aged man bowed to Xiao Miao, "I cannot express my gratitude enough. Please come to the county office for a chat, Daoist!"

"We'll talk about this later." Xiao Miao waved her hand in refusal, pointing to Hu Wan, who was trying his best to make himself inconspicuous: "I'll take him to the Huang residence first."

"Master, you absolutely mustn't!" Before Ma Bangde could speak, Uncle Ge, who was following behind, exclaimed anxiously, "The Huang residence is heavily guarded, with a large and powerful force, and it reeks of...it reeks of money! Master, you are a person of pure cultivation; you must not become too tainted by worldly affairs!"

Ma Bangde nodded: "What the advisor said makes sense. Daoist, if you insist on going to the Huang residence, give me some time. I will gather my brothers and we will advance and retreat together."

"No need to be so nervous." Xiao Miao shook her head and chuckled, striding over to Hu Wan and lifting him up with one hand. "Hu Wan, will Master Huang harm me?"

Hu Wan's eyes went blank for a moment, then cleared again, revealing a shrewd smile: "Of course not."

Xiao Miao nodded in satisfaction: "What is your relationship with Master Huang?"

"I am Master Huang's dog, woof woof woof."

"Oh?" Xiao Miao raised an eyebrow: "If it's a dog, how can it walk standing up?"

"The Taoist priest is right!" Hu Wan suddenly realized, and immediately knelt down and crawled around on his hands and feet.

"Alright, get up." Xiao Miao looked at Ma Bangde: "Let's not talk about 'yes' anymore, just do me a favor."

Ma Bangde immediately declared, "I would help even a hundred, let alone one. Please tell me, Daoist Master."

Xiao Miao beckoned, and Ma Bangde leaned closer to listen: "There's a Taoist priest from Maoshan named Qian Kai. I don't know if he's in Goose City or where his temple is. County Magistrate, please help me find him. Remember not to alert him."

Ma Bangde nodded: "Understood. Do you need me...?"

2

He made a slashing gesture with his palm, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"The county magistrate is overthinking it. Master Qian and I are good friends who have never met."

"Now that you put it that way, I understand everything!" Ma Bangde nodded in understanding.

Grandpa Ge, who was impersonating a clerk, looked completely bewildered: "No, what do you mean you understand now? There are good friends who have never met before."

""

The Huang residence!

Mr. Huang paced back and forth, looking restless, puffing on his cigar and exhaling thick white smoke.

Hu Qian, a trusted aide, asked in confusion, "Master, what's going on?"

"Hu Qian, is everything peaceful in the manor lately?" Master Huang asked, turning his head.

"Reporting to Master, everything is well in the manor."

"How's the business?"

Knowing that Master Huang was asking about the opium business, Hu Qian bowed again and replied, "Everything is going smoothly. The route to the north has been opened up, and we'll be profitable next month."

"That's strange," Master Huang said, completely puzzled. "Hu Qian, I have this uneasy feeling about me. What do you think is it?"

How would I know why?

Hu Qian inwardly scoffed, but his attitude grew even more respectful. After a few seconds of thought, he cautiously replied, "Sir, perhaps you're worried about not being able to count all the money you'll earn next month?"

"You've made so much money you can't even count it all?" Old Master Huang patted Hu Qian's face and laughed heartily, "Hu Qian, you're such a clever little devil!"

.

Hu Qian smiled ingratiatingly, a sense of relief washing over him, knowing that he had successfully overcome this hurdle.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; when will this ever end?

Just then, a servant rushed over and stood at the door, quietly explaining the situation to Hu Qian. Hu Qian listened with a serious expression, closed the door, and returned to Master Huang's side: "Master, Hu Wan has been beaten by a Taoist priest, and he is now leading the priest toward the mansion."

"Oh, is that so?" Old Master Huang raised an eyebrow. "Come on, let's go upstairs."

The Huang Mansion building resembles a bunker, and it was indeed built in the style of a bunker, with telescopes mounted on the roof.

Master Huang led Hu Qian to the rooftop, adjusted the binoculars to search for their target, and spotted Hu Wan and his group.

Hu Wan, accompanied by three servants, led the way, glancing occasionally at the Taoist priest walking in the middle, his attitude humble and respectful.

"Interesting," Master Huang muttered to himself, pointing the camera at the young Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest seemed to sense that someone was spying on him, and instantly spotted the telescope. Their eyes met, and the Taoist priest raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

Startled, Mr. Huang instinctively raised his head and covered the eyepiece with his palm.

He walked to the top floor of the city wall and looked at Hu Wan and his group: "Overbearing arrogance, they're courting death!"

Hu Qian suggested, "Should we strike first?"

Master Huang waved his hand, "No rush! Let's play along!"

On the other side, Hu Wan bowed and approached Xiao Miao: "Daoist Master, shall we strike first later?"

Xiao Miao nodded: "Okay."

He didn't intend to waste too much time on Master Huang; he took the money and left.

The main hall of the Huang residence.

Xiao Miao strode into the door. Just as Master Huang was about to say something polite, he saw Hu Wan and three servants walk past Xiao Miao, raising their Mauser pistols expressionlessly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After a burst of gunfire, all the guards standing guard inside the room were shot and killed. Hu Wan and two of his guards were also killed, and a third person survived by sheer luck.

"Clatter!"

..

Mr. Huang's cigar fell to the ground. Despite his pride in his extensive knowledge, he couldn't figure out what had happened, no matter how hard he tried.

Hu Wan and his servants have actually betrayed him. What are they after?

Unfortunately, Hu Wan was already dead, and the last servant stood there expressionless, leaving Master Huang's question unanswered.

"Mr. Huang, I've long admired your name," Xiao Miao said with a smile, walking over to the sofa and sitting down.

Master Huang forcibly suppressed his inner shock and forced a fake smile that was more like a grimace: "Daoist Master, have we met before?"

""

"I've seen you, but you haven't seen me," Xiao Miao replied truthfully.

Master Huang pondered these words repeatedly, wondering when he had offended this powerful figure.

Suddenly, a thick tentacle appeared and wrapped around Master Huang's neck with lightning speed.

Hypnosis activated!

Suddenly, golden light burst forth from Master Huang's body, and a string of Buddhist beads floated out of his pocket, with faint Buddhist chants emanating from it.

Bathed in Buddha's light, Xiao Miao's tentacles, like snow under the blazing sun, melted away completely in an instant, and the Buddha's light disappeared along with them.

Xiao Miao felt as if he had been hit on the head, and his head was buzzing.

"Ha! You evil fiend! I have a Buddhist treasure to protect me, so get lost!" Seeing Xiao Miao's discomfiture, Master Huang immediately stood up.

As expected, the Buddha saved the Yuan people. Master Huang, who profited immensely from the national crisis by selling opium, was protected by a genuine Buddhist treasure.

No problem, let's try again. I don't believe he still has prayer beads.

Xiao Miao immediately moved closer to Master Huang, pinned him firmly to the sofa, and activated his hypnotic skill.

A yellow talisman flew out of Master Huang's pocket. The talisman ignited without fire, and Xiao Miao was thrown away by a tremendous force.

After somersaulting in mid-air, Xiao Miao landed nimbly. The magical light that swept over her body found that it was not a sinister ghost, so it disappeared.

Master Huang forced a smile: "You, do you want money or jewelry? I'll give you either way. Let's talk this out."

Xiao Miao: ".

""

With both Buddhism and Taoism involved, surely that's the end of it.

Xiao Miao paused, about to continue, but then changed his mind and ordered the last servant, "You, search Master Huang's body!"

"Yes, Daoist Master."

The servant stepped forward and rummaged around for a while, eventually finding a string of crosses. The crosses emitted holy light upon contact with the servant, dispelling the hypnotic magic on him.

"Huh, what's this...?"

"Bang!" A bullet ended the servant's life.

Okay, okay, there's also the matter of Yege.

Old Master Huang looked dejected, knowing that he was doomed today.

Xiao Miao conjured tentacles to entangle the utterly dumbfounded Old Master Huang and activated his hypnotic skill.

This time it went very smoothly, and the skill was successfully used. The servants outside are banging on the door, but fortunately the door is made of solid materials and has held up until now.

Master Huang loudly dismissed his servants and confessed to his opium trafficking, revealing a complete network of illicit profits.

County government office.

Xiao Miao was given a grand welcome upon his arrival.

In the private reception room, he sat facing County Magistrate Ma Bangde.

"Master, I have good news to tell you!"

"County Magistrate, I have good news to tell you!"
