"Also, regarding that bounty... it might take a few days for it to arrive in your account."

"Oh?"

You Yang's eyebrows suddenly twitched, and a half-smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The next second, a powerful and domineering elven power, like a dragon awakening, was released from his body without reservation!

That aura wasn't directed at everyone, but rather it was precisely aimed at the silver-haired boy opposite him.

What happened?

In broad daylight, they've dared to cheat You Yang out of his own flesh and blood.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from You Yang, each one suffocatingly powerful, the silver-haired youth's elegant smile froze instantly and quickly vanished.

His hand, which was under the table, clenched tightly, and the fear in his eyes deepened several times over.

How could this seemingly ordinary boy possess such terrifying power within him?!

However, before You Yang could even speak, Lilith, who was standing to the side, immediately bristled.

"boom!"

She slammed her small, lace-gloved hand hard on the expensive solid wood table, and jumped right off the sofa.

Her golden twin tails swayed violently with anger.

What do you mean by that?!

Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared intently at the silver-haired boy opposite her.

She's very angry now, and the consequences will be severe!

It's such a simple thing: the other party does the appraisal, confirms it's correct, pays the money, and then they leave, and everyone's happy.

What does it mean that they're asking for card purchases and delaying payment of rewards?

Do you really think she has a very good temper?!

Faced with this sudden outburst, the silver-haired youth could no longer maintain his aloof demeanor. With a wry smile, he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Everyone! Please calm down! Please don't get so agitated!"

"Rest assured, our union guarantees that you will not suffer any losses!"

He was truly helpless, and he had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

The union has recently encountered internal cash flow problems and has diverted most of its circulating bonuses to other emergency projects.

If the bounty hunters who come are local bounty hunters from Raleigh, that's fine. With their guild's prestige and reputation in the city, they can be easily dealt with by promising some benefits and saying a few words. No one would dare to say a word.

But... this time, the people who came were from other countries, and they didn't look like good guys at all.

Even more deadly is that there is indeed a powerful figure who has been secretly issuing missions to hunt down the Dark Dragon Emperor. His real purpose is to obtain this [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast].

It could even be said that half of this huge bounty was paid by that important figure personally.

The guild had already received strict orders: if the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] appeared, it must be detained immediately and the guild leader must be contacted.

But looking at the current situation...

The silver-haired boy's gaze swept over the imposing You Yang, then landed on the blonde little girl standing on the sofa with a furious expression.

He hadn't paid much attention earlier because of the angle and his posture, but now that Lilith jumped up, he could clearly see her face.

That iconic gothic attire, that volatile temper, and that familiar plant-elemental energy...

The Rose Witch?!

The silver-haired boy broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He couldn't afford to offend that big shot, but he also couldn't afford to offend the behemoth standing behind the person in front of him!

This is like putting him in a bind from both ends, roasting him over a fire!

The silver-haired boy was filled with bitterness at that moment.

He originally thought that You Yang and his group were just lucky lone wolves who had gotten lucky and had no powerful backing.

In this dog-eat-dog world, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, let alone a true dragon crossing the river.

If You Yang is sensible enough to give him a way out, this matter can be easily resolved.

So he originally planned to put on a businesslike attitude and offer some advice, but after all that, it turned out that this was no pushover at all, but a tough nut to crack—and a thorny one at that.

Meeting You Yang's increasingly cold, razor-sharp gaze, the silver-haired boy felt a chill run down his spine.

He dared not have any more ulterior motives, and quickly and respectfully handed the black card back to You Yang with both hands.

He then took a deep breath and tried to explain his current financial difficulties in the most tactful way possible.

You Yang took the card, casually stuffed it back into his pocket, shook his head expressionlessly, and said in a cold, hard voice:

"I have no interest in your difficulties."

Give me the money.

"—Right now!"

Immediately afterwards, Lilith's spoiled yet unquestionable voice rang out from the side. She put her hands on her hips, her beautiful big eyes staring intently at the silver-haired boy, as if the vines would tear this place apart the next second if he said "no".

"Um... I'm really sorry, the bounty is far too large," the silver-haired youth wiped the cold sweat from his brow and explained with an apologetic smile:

"We don't have that much cash available right now."

"How about... you leave your contact information? Once the funds are raised, I'll call you as soon as possible and personally deliver them to your door!"

He sighed inwardly. Well, neither side was someone he could afford to offend. He should just stick to the rules and not get himself into trouble.

You Yang stared at the other person for a few seconds, and after confirming that the other person was not lying, he nodded slightly and slowly withdrew the extremely oppressive aura around him.

Sure enough, having powerful backers makes things much easier in this world.

If he had come alone today, he would probably have been caught in a fierce battle, and might even have been double-crossed.

Although Lilith was not very satisfied with the result and pouted, since You Yang had already nodded in agreement, she naturally couldn't say anything more.

She had no choice but to suppress her anger, which she had nowhere to vent.

However, just as everyone was about to turn and leave, the heavy mahogany door was once again violently pushed open!

"boom--!"

The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang. A group of people dressed in strange clothes and exuding a menacing aura swaggered in.

The leader was a wild and untamed young man.

He was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles. Around his neck was a broken, thick metal collar and half a chain. His bronze skin was covered with hideous scars from the claws of various wild beasts. He looked like a wild animal that had just broken free from its cage.

His gaze swept across the room like a hawk's, instantly locking onto You Yang, and he pointed a finger at him.

Chapter 195 The Hero's New Power and the Second Trap Card - Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring!

"Boy, leave the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] behind!"

"The money is here!"

With a "thud," he slammed a heavy black leather suitcase he was carrying onto the table, preparing to open it and reveal the huge sum of money inside.

However, before the box could be opened, a black afterimage swept in!

Lilith's little leather shoe slammed into the suitcase, sending the box full of money flying like a football, crashing into the corner of the wall with a thud.

“Gallu!”

Lilith's angry voice echoed in the room:

"Take your men and get out of here!"

"Huh? Lilith?!"

The wild youth known as Garru paused for a moment before abandoning his arrogant and disdainful attitude, staring in surprise at the tiny figure in front of him who wasn't even as tall as his waist.

Garru scratched his messy hair in annoyance and clicked his tongue:

"This is troublesome..."

Before he arrived, no one in the intelligence reports told him that "Rose Witch" Lilith was also here.

If we can't snatch it by force, then we have to find another way.

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became eerily quiet, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

After a moment of silence, Garru broke the deadlock first, staring at You Yang with a warlike glint in his eyes:

"Kid, since you're on the 'Arbitrators' side, things are simple!"

"Let's duel!"

"If you win, all this money is yours. I don't want that 'Dharma King Beast' card anymore. I'm turning around and leaving!"

"Shh!"

He suddenly revealed the rough-looking duel disk on his arm, which looked as if it had been carved from the bones of a wild beast, his eyes burning with intensity.

The boss gave a strict order: that [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] must be taken back.

Therefore, even if the other party is an "arbitrator," it's impossible to let them leave so easily.

Lilith instinctively reached out her small hand to shield You Yang behind her, like a little tiger protecting its prey, and said coldly:

"You Yang, ignore him, let's go."

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in her eyes. She knew Garrut well; he was straightforward and only had battles and missions on his mind, completely disregarding any of those complicated rules and regulations.

Others might care about the arbitrator's reputation, but he doesn't.

It is said that this is related to his experience - there are rumors that Garru was raised by wild beasts in the wilderness from childhood until he was discovered and brought back by human society when he was a teenager.

Therefore, his thought process still follows the most primitive law of the jungle.

Garru scratched his head again, his brow furrowing:

"You Yang... This name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it before."

Seeing that the group of people were still blocking the doorway like iron towers, showing no intention of making way, You Yang knew that unless he fought his way out, it would be difficult to resolve things peacefully today.
