Power and wealth bring fragrance

The crowd, caught up in their excitement, didn't see Qin Xiao's expression.

After a brief exchange, the vast majority of people tend to take the money and leave.

The reason is very simple.

They committed such a serious crime tonight that the Wo On Tong may fall apart, and most of its members may be arrested by the police.

But don't forget, the leader of He'an Hall is still out in another place with his most elite men.

Once they learn of the dramatic changes in Deepsea City, they will definitely return with their people immediately.

Even if He'an Hall is gone by then, whether for the sake of face or to vent his anger, the head of He'an Hall will likely choose to investigate thoroughly and carry out cruel revenge.

If they stay and work for Wei Yuan, they will become the first target for the Hall Master of He'an Hall to take revenge.

Don't spout the foolish nonsense that He'an Hall was destroyed, leaving the hall master without a foundation and unable to spare the manpower for revenge.

Without their foundation, and with the fact that the leader of the Antang Hall still had money, a simple reward would be enough to attract a group of desperados to hunt them down.

Rather than living in fear and anxiety, it's better to just take the money and leave.

Two million is more than enough for them to comfortably move to a new place and start a new life.

People tend to conform; when someone first proposed this idea, it immediately received a warm response.

Even Qian Bo couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Ultimately, he was just a lowly underling at the Wancui Trading Market.

Let alone comparing him to a local official like Qin Xiao, even Qin Xiao's underlings present were people Qian Bo used to look up to.

Now that I've suddenly been dragged into such a huge vortex, I'm so scared my legs are cramping, and I've wanted to run away more than once.

Now that Wei Yuan is letting them go, how could Qian Bo not be tempted?

The group discussed it, and their voices grew louder and louder.

I don't know who suddenly said that.

"Two million isn't a small amount, but we'll have to live under assumed names for the rest of our lives once we leave. So it's not that much in the grand sense. Can you add a little more?"

The moment those words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone involuntarily looked at Wei Yuan, and at the countless cash and jewels piled on the ground.

A sudden surge of greed and desire arose within him.

Yeah, why can't we add some more?

Even if each of them takes two million, they will only spend a maximum of thirty million.

But there are a total of 400 million here!

They received less than a tenth of the money!

Even if each person adds another million, Wei Yuan will still have more than 300 million left, which is perfectly reasonable!

Once the thought suddenly popped into everyone's head, it was hard to shake off, taking root firmly in everyone's heart.

Quiet whispers began to circulate.

"Yes, risking being hunted down by He'antang for only two million is indeed a bit low."

"Two million is indeed a small sum if you live in anonymity your whole life."

Qin Xiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly turned his head and looked at his subordinates, whose faces were gradually showing dissatisfaction and greed. His eyes were shocked, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

Wei Yuan's voice suppressed Qin Xiao's impulse.

"Can!"

Wei Yuan slightly raised his eyelids, his face showing no anger, and simply nodded.

"Add another million to each person, this is the final offer, how about it?"

Without hesitation, without questioning, without haggling, they raised the price by fifty percent.

Hearing this straightforward offer, the many henchmen who were clamoring for money felt a chill in their hearts for some reason.

But the ecstasy of the enormous sum of money instantly overwhelmed all unease.

Perhaps Wei Yuan simply didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble and was willing to spend money to avoid disaster?

"Sure, no problem!"

"Thanks, boss!"

"If it weren't for my elderly mother to support, I'd be willing to be the boss's underling for life!"

A group of people who had gotten their wish praised Wei Yuan's generosity with satisfaction, and even Qian Bo grinned, his eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, they had forgotten all the bloodshed and smoke of the night; their minds were filled only with the three million that was about to be theirs.

Only Qin Xiao trembled, glanced sadly at his subordinate, and closed his eyes tightly.

"If you want to take the money and leave, come to me."

"Each person will receive three gold bars, each worth at least one million, which will also make them easy for you to carry."

Wei Yuan opened the bag containing the gold bars, revealing the gleaming gold bars.

Those underlings could no longer contain themselves and rushed to Wei Yuan to collect their gold bars.

Wei Yuan handed them the gold bars and patted them on the shoulder. They didn't think much of it and chatted and laughed excitedly with Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan, no longer displaying his previous coldness, responded to them with a gentle smile.

Nine people were ultimately confirmed to take the money and leave: eight of Qin Xiao's underlings plus Qian Bo.

Qian Bo was a little timid when he took the gold bars, but Wei Yuan didn't care. He smiled and patted him on the back, which made Qian Bo breathe a sigh of relief.

After distributing the gold bars, Wei Yuan didn't waste any words.

"The mountains are high and the roads are long, let's meet again someday."

The nine people who received the gold bars had their minds filled with these three adorable little golden bars, and they excitedly said goodbye to Qin Xiao and their former companions.

"Brother Qin, we're leaving."

"Damn, three million! How are we going to spend it?!"

"I've had my eye on a car for a while now; I'll buy it when I get back!"

The nine people chatted and laughed as they turned and left.

As Wei Yuan watched their retreating figures, the smile on his face gradually faded. He tilted his head and glanced at the remaining six people, including Qin Xiao.

"If you want to leave, you still have a chance."

Qin Xiao's body trembled, and he spoke hoarsely.

"I have sworn allegiance to you, and I will never leave you unless I die."

The other five remained silent.

Perhaps some people harbor the ambition to make a name for themselves, or perhaps others, like Qin Xiao, have already seen through certain things.

Wei Yuan's lips curled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"It doesn't sound true, but it doesn't matter."

"It's better than them leaving."

As he spoke, Wei Yuan gently formed a strange hand seal with his right hand.

"what!"

The nine people, who had only walked less than five meters away, suddenly screamed in agony. Their bodies collapsed to the ground as if electrocuted, foaming at the mouth, convulsing violently, and their eyes rolling back.

Less than three seconds later, the nine people's bodies convulsed violently and then fell completely silent.

"what!"

Qin Xiao was caught off guard by this horrific scene and couldn't help but gasp in shock, but then he shut his mouth tightly, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably from excessive fear.

The other five of Qin Xiao's henchmen stood frozen in place, their hair standing on end as they looked at the nine corpses lying on the ground. A chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

The scene of Wei Yuan patting the nine people on the shoulders just now involuntarily flashed before their eyes, and their breathing became increasingly trembling and heavy.

In the dead silence, Wei Yuan sighed softly.

"sorry."

I broke my promise.

Qin Xiao and the other six trembled, burying their heads like ostriches, not daring to lift their heads at all.

Wei Yuan calmly glanced at them, his gaze settling on the nine dead men.

"They followed us from the crushing plant all the way here and know every detail."

"They've seen our faces, and they know each of your names and identities."

"Once one of them is caught, whether it's the police department or Ando, ​​they have enough means to make them spill everything."

"I can't bet that they can keep quiet or live a quiet, secluded life."

"So don't blame me for being ruthless; for the sake of those who are alive, they have no choice but to die."

There were no excuses, no apologies, only the most realistic statements.

Qin Xiao stared intently at Wei Yuan's shoes, his fear of Wei Yuan reaching its peak.

Qin Xiao had already guessed Wei Yuan's intentions when Wei Yuan told them to take the money and leave.

As a high-ranking member of He'antang, Qin Xiao is more intelligent than his subordinates, including Qian Bo.

From the moment they followed Wei Yuan away from the crushing plant, everyone had no way out!

There is no third way: either follow Wei Yuan to the bitter end or die.

As Wei Yuan said, having seen his face and witnessed every detail, how could they possibly let him go?

The so-called "take the money and leave" was just a ploy to lure them in.

Unfortunately, those idiots not only failed to see the problem, but they even complained that Wei Yuan was not paying enough.

They didn't even consider that Wei Yuan had done all the most difficult things all night. Qin Xiao and others had only helped move the money at most, yet they still had the audacity to ask Wei Yuan for more money!

Qin Xiao thought to himself that if he were Wei Yuan, he would definitely kill these ungrateful fools!

This incident also made Qin Xiao see what kind of person Wei Yuan really was.

He is ruthless, meticulous, and thorough in his thinking, leaving no room for future trouble. He is an absolutely ruthless character!

Following a leader like that, he might suddenly die one day.

Or perhaps... following Wei Yuan's meteoric rise, we could reach a peak we never dared to dream of before!

After explaining, Wei Yuan looked at the six people who were still bowing their heads in fear.

"Raise your head."

Qin Xiao and the other six people looked up immediately as if in shock, only to be met with Wei Yuan's calm and gentle gaze.

"Don't be afraid, you are different from them."

"Since you've chosen to stay, share the risks with me."

"Then I won't be stingy with you."

"You will each receive five million."

"and……"

Wei Yuan slashed his left palm with the tip of his right finger, the sharp force breaking through his skin and drawing blood.

Qin Xiao and the other six stared in astonishment at Wei Yuan's sincere face, a tingling, electric-like sensation instantly sweeping through their bodies.

Wei Yuan looked at them sincerely.

"I am willing to swear a blood oath with you and become brothers."

"What I have, you will all have in the future."

"Power, wealth, status—it has everything."

"Let us drink from this golden cup together, and share in our wealth and honor."

"Are you coming or not?"

A cold wind howled, and Qin Xiao and the other six looked at Wei Yuan in disbelief, to which Wei Yuan returned a firm gaze.

He wasn't joking; he was serious!

The moment this thought appeared in the minds of Qin Xiao and the other six, it spread like wildfire, taking over their entire being.

After a moment, Qin Xiao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and opened his left palm.

With a flick of Wei Yuan's finger, a gash appeared on Qin Xiao's left palm, and blood flowed out instantly.

The other five followed suit and stepped forward, only to have their palms slashed by Wei Yuan.

Then, the seven men clasped their bloodied left hands tightly together.

Blood mingled, indistinguishable from one another.

"From today onwards, we are brothers."

Wei Yuan's powerful voice echoed in the night wind.

And his power was officially formed from that moment on!
