Mysterious city

If Jiang Zhe experienced this empathy illusion without losing himself, or if he could come out of it intact and alive, then his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

After all, not all Constantine has the opportunity to experience this intense empathy illusion. Although the risk is high, the benefits are always proportional to the risks.

Of course, this is all for later. Jiang Zhe must at least ensure that when he comes out of this illusion of empathy, he will still be a "human being".

And as the tide of fatigue swept over her body instantly, Xiao Yan felt her eyes darken.

He really wanted to lie there and rest for a while, even if it was just for a minute. After all, it would at least give him some breathing space.

Unfortunately, he has more important things to do right now.

Xiao Yan knew very well that Manager Gu and his lackeys were bullies and afraid of the strong.

If they could still retain the momentum they had just now, these two guys would never dare to act rashly.

If he shows his cowardice and lets Manager Gu and his lackeys know that the mysterious power he just obtained has disappeared, these two guys will never make it easy for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan immediately put on a fierce look, trying to scare Manager Gu and his men.

It is a pity that Xiao Yan, who has been weak for nearly twenty years, how can he skillfully put on a fierce and convincing look without the blessing of that mysterious power.

No matter how hard Xiaoyan tried to make his eyes look as fierce as possible, the terrifying beast in his eyes had long since disappeared along with the disappearance of the mysterious man.

Now Xiaoyan's eyes are clear. Apart from fatigue, there is only endless fear and anxiety. He has long since turned back to the cowardly boy who has never experienced anything in the world.

It stands to reason that Xiaoyan in this state is full of flaws and it is impossible to frighten the shrewd and sophisticated Manager Gu.

Manager Gu has always been the kind of person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, not to mention that Xiaoyan has made him wander on the edge of life and death several times.

If Manager Gu knew that Xiaoyan was completely helpless at this moment, he would definitely try his best to kill him.

It's a pity that the current manager Gu has long been frightened out of his wits by the inhuman power Xiaoyan showed just now. How can he still dare to embarrass him?

So when Xiao Yan walked past Manager Gu and looked at Manager Gu with his extremely poorly disguised fierce eyes, this usually domineering guy didn't even dare to fart.

Not only that, Xiao Yan also noticed that an unknown liquid was seeping out drop by drop from Manager Gu’s crotch, exuding a disgusting stench.

It turned out that this guy had already been scared to death.

Needless to say, Manager Gu's last lackey huddled in the corner. After all, although Manager Gu was greatly frightened, he did not suffer too much substantial damage.

But his lackey had received a solid blow from Xiao Yan. At this moment, the guy was clinging to the corner, his body shaking violently, and his mouth full of white foam overflowing from fear.

This more or less made Xiao Yan feel relieved a little.

Xiaoyan stood still in front of Manager Gu, took a deep breath, and made herself look as calm as possible.

He knew that he didn't have much time left. The Sheriff would arrive soon, and by then he would be unable to escape without the blessing of that mysterious power.

"Small, no, no, sir, what are your orders?"

Seeing Xiao Yan standing still in front of him, Manager Gu almost fainted from fright.

But this smooth and sophisticated old man still forced an ugly smile on his face and said flatteringly.

Based on Manager Gu's experience, we can simply conclude from Xiaoyan's performance just now that this beast-like boy has passed the period of rage and has gradually calmed down.

Manager Gu didn't know, but Jiang Zhe knew very well.

What else could Xiaoyan want?

Of course it's money!

"Money, I want money, bring me my salary."

Xiao Yan said coldly. Although his eyes were as cold as ice, his trembling tone still showed how weak he was at this moment.

Although the money was placed on the bar counter, Xiaoyan knew that it couldn't be opened without a key, so he had to let Manager Gu, a beast, open it for him.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

After receiving the instruction, Manager Gu immediately turned around and ran all the way to the bar. Under Xiao Yan's gaze, this guy staggered several times out of fear of weak legs.

Fortunately, we didn't arrive at the hotel during the banquet. Otherwise, if someone met along the way, it would cause a lot of trouble for Xiaoyan.

Within a few seconds, Manager Gu came over with a lot of banknotes in his hands.

"Here, uncle, don't you want money? Here, it's all for you, just take it!"

"No, if it's not enough, I'll get it again!"

Manager Gu handed the money to Xiaoyan with both hands with a smile on his face. It seemed that it should be all the cash in the bar.

Although it was used to exchange money and change for customers, the amount of money was not a small amount, at least it was many times more than Xiao Yan's salary.

But the current manager Gu doesn't care about the money. It's a good thing that Xiaoyan didn't kill him.

In comparison, what is this little money?

You know, even though they have reported the case, it will take a long time until the Sheriff arrives.

If you don't give in now and don't take good care of Xiao Yan, the "master", I'm afraid that by the time the sheriffs arrive, the grass on your grave will be two meters high.

Besides, this money belongs to the public and is not your own, so what is there to feel bad about?

Now Manager Gu only regrets that he should not have been greedy for Xiaoyan's salary, otherwise he would not have fallen to this point!

Not only was his throat still sore to this day, it was even difficult to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Manager Gu's arm was in unbearable pain. After all, Xiaoyan had bitten off a large piece of meat there!

But besides King Yama, Xiao Yan is probably the only one who can make a miser like Manager Gu take money lightly.

"I only want what I deserve."

Xiaoyan suppressed her weakness and said feebly, counted out a hundred and ten yuan from the pile of banknotes, crumpled them into a ball and put them in her pocket.

The reason why he worked so hard was not because he wanted to get something more from Manager Gu.

Xiaoyan just wants to get what she deserves, that's all.

The world is so fucked up sometimes, sometimes you give 150% of your efforts, but you don’t even get 50% of the return.

The remaining 100% of the reward you deserve lies in the hands of those who can control you.

If you don't work hard and make them feel afraid, they will exploit you even more, making you feel that the one third given to you is already a great reward for you.

After getting the salary she deserved, Xiaoyan immediately fled the scene.

He didn't want to wait until the sheriff arrived and surrounded him, waiting for jail time.

Now Xiaoyan only felt that the crumpled two hundred yuan in her pocket was extremely hot, like a hot potato.

But what makes people feel ironic and helpless is that this "hot potato" is the salary he deserves.

What made Xiao Yan feel even more unbearable than the crumpled money was the strange looks cast by passers-by on the road.

Because at this moment, Xiao Yan's whole body was stained red with blood, and her face was even redder, like a demon that had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.

Some of the blood belongs to him, but most of it belongs to Manager Gu's lackeys.

When she first struggled with those guys, Xiaoyan's body had not yet been greatly strengthened by the mysterious man for the second time, and it was still far from the steel-like physical strength.

But the most intense fight happened at that time, so even Xiaoyan beat a group of hateful beasts into a human shape, and he himself also suffered a lot.

Xiao Yan, who was covered in bruises and bruises, attracted almost everyone's attention as he walked on the road, which made him, who was introverted and weak, feel extremely frightened.

Of course, what Xiao Yan is most afraid of is that these passers-by will provide witness evidence.

Not to mention that now he, a "famous man", was out of place and eye-catching to everyone walking on the street. If the police officers arrived at this time, they would have captured him on the spot.

Thinking of this, Xiaoyan immediately turned around and walked into an alley.

Compared to the road, there are far fewer pedestrians here.

Fortunately, most people in that era didn't like to cause trouble.

Because although there has never been such a thing as a "gangster" in the Eastern Kingdom, in that era when the police force was insufficient and the concept of legality was not yet popular, it was not uncommon for gangsters to be jealous of women and fight over territory.

What's more, thermal weapons will be deployed, which shows how chaotic the situation was at that time.

For ordinary people who are honest and responsible, this kind of "gang fight" is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying thing.

No matter how courageous they are, ordinary people are not willing to get involved in such street fights for no reason. Otherwise, it is considered good to make a mess, and it is not bad to not lose their lives.

Xiao Yan never imagined that one day her weak and introverted self would be regarded as a "mafia villain" by others.

But at least this helped him, at least for now.

Xiaoyan stumbled through the alley and headed towards the deserted countryside.

The unbearable pain filled his whole body, allowing Jiang Zhe to clearly understand how much pain Xiaoyan, who was of the same mind as him, was feeling at this moment.

Although Xiaoyan seemed to have obtained that powerful power without giving anything just now, this is obviously not the case now.

That power did greatly increase Xiaoyan's physical strength in a short period of time, but the side effects were also extremely obvious, because the power had already exceeded what his body could bear.

Just like the CPU that was overheated due to the high-speed operation of the computer, Jiang Zhe felt that Xiaoyan's body was on the verge of collapse.
