My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 381 - 378 Wealth Moves the Heart

Distantly.

An elderly man with curly hair scanned around, "Have you found that kid?"

"There!" a subordinate pointed ahead and said.

"Oh?" The elderly man looked up and immediately spotted Gao Fei engaged in combat, his eyes suddenly brightened, "That's right, it's him." With these words, he pulled a picture from his sleeve and compared it with Gao Fei, "Hmm, it's him."

"That kid is quite brave."

"No matter how brave, he is just a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. I can extinguish him with a wave of my hand."

"Boss... let me handle this, why don't you take a break..."

"You? You're not capable! You're probably no match for him. I'll take care of it personally." The elderly man put away the picture and then strode towards Gao Fei, "The other party offered one million Spirit Stones for that kid's head, and though we are bandits, we still need to maintain our credibility.

Otherwise, who would dare to do business with us in the future?" As he said this, the elderly man cracked a smile, "Killing a Golden Core Stage Cultivator for one million Spirit Stones; this deal is simply too profitable."

Although the elderly man seemed to walk slowly, he was actually very fast and reached Gao Fei in the blink of an eye.

"Uh?" Gao Fei suddenly looked up, staring at the elderly man opposite him, a Nascent Soul Cultivator? Damn it! Ran into a tough one!

"Gao Fei?" The elderly man called out.

"Uh?" Gao Fei was startled, "How do you know my name?"

"Someone asked me to kill you," the elderly man said with a sinister smile, "Just by slaughtering you, I can get one million Spirit Stones."

"Who is it?" Gao Fei glared and asked, "Who wants to kill me?"

"Go ask Lord Yan in the Underworld." The elderly man stretched out his hand and reached for Gao Fei. In his eyes, Gao Fei was nothing but an ant, one he could annihilate with just a casual stretch of his hand.

"Wait a moment!" Gao Fei spoke urgently, "I can give you Spirit Stones, two million, no, three million Spirit Stones!"

"Whoosh!"

The elderly man's hand paused mid-air, his eyes squinting, "What did you say? You'll give me three million Spirit Stones?"

"Yes!" Gao Fei nodded, "I give you the Spirit Stones, and you let me leave, how about that?"

"That..." The elderly man hesitated.

"If you're not satisfied, I can give you more... five million Spirit Stones!" Gao Fei offered.

The elderly man chuckled softly, "Can you really produce five million Spirit Stones?"

"Of course," Gao Fei nodded affirmatively. "Don't judge by my low cultivation level; I'm quite good at accumulating wealth. I've saved up quite a number of Spirit Stones over the years."

"Good," the elderly man nodded, "If you give me five million Spirit Stones, I'll spare you." As he said this, his tone turned cold, "But if you dare to deceive me, hmph, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

"Even if you lend me a few guts, I wouldn't dare to deceive you," Gao Fei reassured.

"Stop the nonsense and bring out the Spirit Stones quickly."

"Uh... it's too conspicuous here, and if I give you the Spirit Stones, it will surely bring some trouble... Let's find another place for the transaction, somewhere secluded..."

"What a hassle!"

"Please understand my dilemma, senior..."

"Fine, let's go somewhere else."

"Senior, I have one more request."

"Speak."

"We'll pretend to fight. You're much stronger, and I'm no match for you, so I'll have to flee, and then you can pretend to chase after me... This way, no one will be suspicious of me."

"Boy, you're quite clever. Alright, let's do it that way."

"Then, let's start."

"Bang!"

The elderly man struck back with a palm; the wind from his palm was thunderous, the momentum frightening.

"Oh my! So powerful!" Gao Fei cried out in alarm and turned to run.

"Where do you think you're going!" The elderly man quickly gave chase.

In a game of cat and mouse, they both vanished in an instant.

"Not good! The master is in trouble!" Liu Qing's face changed and he lifted his foot to chase after Gao Fei.

"Don't panic," Chen San grabbed Liu Qing, "The master won't be in any trouble."

"How can he not be in trouble? The opponent is a Nascent Soul Cultivator..."

"Just now, the master gestured to me, telling us to stay here and not to act recklessly."

"You saw it clearly?"

"I saw it crystal clear! Don't worry, the master definitely won't be in trouble."

"I'm still not at ease."

"The opponent is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, even if we catch up, it's useless... It would only become a burden to the master. Rather than that, it's better to stay put and wait."

"Should we go find someone to help? Maybe the Chiliarchs..."

"Is that possible? They have no ties with the master, they won't help. Besides, they can't get away now either."

"So... we just wait here foolishly?"

"That's all we can do."

"It's all because my strength is too weak to help the master!" Liu Qing let out a heavy sigh.

"Don't worry," Chen San patted Liu Qing's shoulder, "The master definitely won't be in any trouble."

...

In the distance.

Cao Buwei laughed heartily, "Gao Fei, oh Gao Fei, let's see where you can flee to this time." Gao Fei was being chased by an old man, and Cao Buwei saw it all clearly.

"Master, that old man... is the assassin I found." Ding Dalin approached and spoke in a low voice, "That old man has Nascent Soul Cultivation, he is definitely capable of killing Gao Fei."

"Hmm, you've made a great contribution this time, I will definitely reward you handsomely later," Cao Buwei was in a very good mood, a big thorn in his side was finally being removed.

"Serving the master is my honor," Ding Dalin said.

"Stay close to me, don't wander around. With me here, those bandits won't be able to hurt you," Cao Buwei instructed.

"Yes, I know," Ding Dalin nodded again and again.

...

Dozens of miles away.

Gao Fei ran with his head down.

An old man was chasing closely behind him.

"Hey, can we stop now?" the old man shouted, "There's no one here."

"We can," Gao Fei stopped, turned around to look at the old man, his eyes sparkling with light.

"Hand over the Spirit Stones," the old man stretched out his hand.

"Senior, before I give you the Spirit Stones, may I ask you a question?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Who exactly hired you to kill me?"

"Hehe... I promised the other party to keep it a secret, so I can't tell you," the old man shrugged.

"Really can't say?"

"Absolutely not! Even though I'm a bandit, I still keep my word," the old man said firmly.

Such bullshit honesty, Gao Fei cursed internally, if you were honest, you wouldn't have made a deal with me.

"Less nonsense, hurry up and hand over the Spirit Stones," the old man was getting impatient, "I need to get back to killing enemies, I don't have the time to chat with you here. Give me the Spirit Stones, and I'll let you go."

"Senior, you have to keep your word."

"Don't worry, my word is gold!"

"Alright, I'll trust you this time..." Gao Fei fumbled in his chest for a moment, then took out a Storage Bag, "Take care, senior." Gao Fei tossed out the Storage Bag.
