"My cheap little brother? What's his na again…"
Alkaid pondered.
He quickly found the answer in the mories of the original body.
Su Xiangyang.
Although Su Huaifeng was a playboy with a total of six children, he had only one son, Su Xiangyang.
That person…
Did the original body harbor a full sense of fear towards him?
At this ti, the two people facing him had already awakened from the sudden dramatic change.
They both retreated explosively.
One of them imdiately pulled out a gun from inside his coat.
In Dayu Country, firearms are extrely strictly prohibited; to have a gun…
For an assassin to have a gun, that's quite normal.
Almost simultaneously, as he drew his gun, Alkaid flung his hand fiercely.
An invisible sword instantly shot forth, piercing through the man's gun-holding wrist with a faint whistling sound, and without losing montum, it entered his forehead, embedding deeply.
Imdiately after, Alkaid's figure moved.
"Hiss!"
The sudden burst of energy nearly split his shoe soles.
As he rubbed against the ground, a wisp of blue smoke seed to escape.
He almost instantly appeared beside the last short-haired man, and under his gaze full of terror, Alkaid's hand with widely spread fingers covered the man's entire face, then suddenly…
Pushed forward fiercely.
The huge surge of force caused his roughly 80-kilogram body to fly horizontally into the air.
But just as his toes were half a ter off the ground, his flight abruptly stopped.
The back of his head had already smashed brutally against the wall.
"Bang!"
The wall cracked!
Stone chips flew everywhere!
Accompanied by the spray of blood.
His body's remaining instincts made it seem like he was still struggling, but Alkaid's right hand firmly pressed him down.
A few seconds.
All struggling ceased.
Alkaid released his hand, and the body of the short-haired man slid down.
At this ti, Alkaid seed to realize sothing.
Looking at the cracked wall, the bloodstains, and the three bodies that still needed to be cleaned up, he frowned.
"Rash, it seems finding a cleanup crew is quite necessary."
Imdiately, he began to search the bodies of the dead.
Cash was sparse.
All together, it amounted to re thousands.
But among them, a black bank card was quite conspicuous.
"A bearer bank card from Terri Bank."
He guessed the reason why this card was present here.
Alkaid took out a cellphone from the body of the man in the trench coat, propped open his eyelids, and perford facial recognition.
Then, while the body was still warm, he used the fingerprint to unlock the phone and transferred all the money that could be transferred.
The Martial Path requires resources.
The ancient tree acts like a data search engine connected to myriad worlds, allowing him to access all information related to his profession.
But the actual practice that follows obtaining information still depends on himself.
This year, by slaying those demons disguised as martial masters, he had accrued not less than ten million in spoils of war, which he'd entirely spent on cultivation. It took him just one year to hone his physique to the pinnacle of human capability.
Poor.
He naturally wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money.
"810 thousand."
Alkaid arrived at the number.
In total, he had earned 810 thousand from the three n.
He glanced again at the man in the trench coat with the broken neck.
Though the transaction process had its complications…
he had gained a profit of 810 thousand, which would naturally increase the "Businessman" experience.
At once, he engaged in a Soul Division to operate the ancient tree in his mind.
[Transacted profit of 810 thousand, First Rank Businessman branch gained nourishnt for growth… but as the main trunk absorbed all the nourishnt, growth has halted.]
Following this, the branch belonging to "Martial Path" received a surge of nutrients and began to grow.
After assimilating the little new experience about the Cleansing Marrow Realm, he looked at the bearer bank card from the Terri Bank in his hand.
"I wonder how much my life is worth."
He had already found the password in the phone.
The experience gained from Businessman transactions was nowhere near what he earned from Demon Hunting.
But as long as the amount was large enough, it could also serve as a supplent and pleasant surprise.
Furthermore, he also had an identity token, similar to a USB stick, in his hand.
This was an identity token from the underworld.
The token is recognized, not the person.
Just as Alkaid was about to use the token to contact a professional cleaner to tidy the room, hurried footsteps approached.
Alkaid listened for a mont, rose to his feet, and went to the living room, intending to close the door.
At this mont, a shout ca around the corner of the corridor.
"Alkaid."
Then he saw two won hurrying over quickly.
One of them…
She had a presence and beauty that were outstanding, incongruous with the sowhat dimly lit apartnt.
This was the original body's sister, Su Yaoyu.
She was also the only color in the original body's mory.
Considering the original body's relationship with her, Alkaid went out, closing the door behind him.
"I'm heading out, do you need sothing?"
"Are you alright?"
Su Yaoyu approached Su Alkaid, intending to check on him.
"Speak if you have sothing to say, no need for hands-on," he warned.
Alkaid instantly dodged her approach.
For one thing, too close.
Moreover, not accustod to such closeness.
"All grown up, don't like your sister anymore, do you? Or just shy?"
Su Yaoyu teased him with a smile.
Seeing him hale and hearty sowhat settled her mind.
Behind Su Yaoyu, a woman standing about 1.75 ters tall, whose attire exuded a certain valiant spirit, looked on with astonishnt in her eyes.
Alkaid's evasion just now...
She had failed to see it clearly.
Was it because her attention was on Su Yaoyu, missing the mont?
At this ti, Su Yaoyu, finishing her teasing, said with so seriousness, "Alkaid, you can't stay here anymore. The fourth one has lost his mind, he actually dared to hire soone to deal with his own family. His underground bounty has already been accepted and it's too late to withdraw it. At this point, you can only avoid danger by returning to the Su Family with as soon as possible."
"Su Xiangyang? Gone mad?"
Alkaid was sowhat surprised.
"Not literally insane, but his actions are no different from madness. Anyway, he's done for. Once you're back, you won't have to worry about being bullied anymore."
Su Yaoyu did not elaborate.
Not hearing any gossip, Alkaid did not inquire further, simply saying, "The Su Family, I'd rather not go. I'm quite content right now."
"Third young master, you don't understand the danger you're in. If you don't return, you're in great risk," the woman behind Su Yaoyu said at this mont.
Alkaid glanced at her.
Caiyun.
One of the orphans adopted by the Su Family.
Dayu Country, with a heritage of 430 years, old families often had the custom of adopting orphans and carefully training them.
The Su Family was not comparable to those ancient noble families, but having taken root in Tian Nan for over a century, they also had so adopted orphans like Caiyun.
"The gang that took your bounty has been identified. They're known as Black Triangle Star, a four-person team that has committed many cris in Tian Nan Territory. Brazen and fearless, they dare to do anything, take on any job."
Caiyun spoke gravely, "Based on the clues we have, their vehicle has already entered Yunng City. I fear they will make their move against you soon."
"Nad Black Triangle Star, yet there are four mbers?"
Alkaid asked.
"Yes, three visible and one hidden," Caiyun nodded.
Alkaid reckoned his unregistered bank card's money was likely gone for good.
"I understand. Now, I'd like to know how the Su Family will deal with Su Xiangyang, who contracted killers against ?" he asked.
Caiyun clearly couldn't answer that question.
Su Yaoyu herself seed a bit hesitant.
Alkaid wasn't injured...
It seed the punishnt wouldn't be too severe.
But after a mont, as if she had thought of sothing, she said decisively, "Rest assured, I believe the Family Law Hall will give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Okay," Alkaid nodded slightly.
He had wanted to say, "If the Su Family doesn't give a satisfactory explanation, then later, I will give one to the Su Family."
But he felt it was aningless.
In the end, he simply said, "I will attend the family law execution."
Seeing Su Alkaid seed finally willing to return ho, Su Yaoyu's eyes brightened.
But before she could speak again, Alkaid already said once more, "I'm busy, I must go."
"I drove six hundred li from the capital to find you, and this is how you receive ? That breaks my heart," Su Yaoyu said, even managing to look rather pitiful.
Alkaid was speechless.
Seeing him remain silent, Su Yaoyu grew worried.
She quickly changed the subject, "Alkaid, if you really feel too suffocated at ho, consider staying with mother for a while. Once the Black Triangle Star people are caught, you can co back..."
"No need,"
Alkaid shook his head, "Let take you to get a room."
"Aren't you staying here? I can sleep on the sofa," she offered.
"That's inconvenient," Alkaid replied.
After all, with three corpses inside, explaining would be too troubleso.
It was easier to just get her a room to stay in and be done with it.
"Oh, I get it, my brother has grown up..."
Su Yaoyu's smile held a hint of mystery.
Alkaid did not bother explaining, simply saying, "Let's go," before turning to leave.
Watching his retreating figure, Su Yaoyu felt worried yet also helpless.
But considering his experiences, she dared not force anything.
She could only turn to Caiyun and say, "Caiyun, I'll need your help these next few days. The family has already reached out to local contacts for a strict search for the criminals, we'll catch the Black Triangle Star soon."
"Don't worry, I won't let the third young master co to harm," Caiyun said firmly.
Then she continued, "But miss, it's no solution for the third young master to keep on like this..."
"I know," Su Yaoyu responded, looking quite helpless.
Hers, her parents', Su Alkaid's, including Su Anping's, their relationships were extrely complex.
These years, she had made many efforts to repair the relationships within the family, but this only brother of hers was still drifting further away.
It was still alright before, but recently, they rarely even talked on the phone anymore.
She didn't know if she had said sothing wrong, done sothing wrong, touching so sensitive nerve of his, all she could do was to try her best to act naturally, to be close, to let him feel the warmth of family.
