Chapter 400 - 397 Retribution

Evil people eventually meet their retribution.

Natural justice is cyclical; retribution never misses its mark.

The saying that good people receive good outcomes and bad people have bad ones isn't uttered in vain.

In every action, one must stay true to one's conscience; even if you can't be a good person, you shouldn't become a bad one.

Cao Buwei and Di Renkui had become bad people, committed vile deeds, and ultimately faced retribution, ending up with a tragic death.

...

Gao Fei looked down at the two heads and noticed that the eyes of both were wide open, mouths agape, faces filled with terror, "Originally, you two could have lived well, but you chose a path that led to death," Gao Fei lifted his foot and kicked the two heads into the black mist.

"Hey! I've met the first condition already, hurry up and state the second one," Hao Niu shouted loudly.

"Listen closely," Gao Fei raised his second finger, "Give me five thousand... oh, no, ten thousand pieces of amethyst!"

"How many?" Hao Niu's eyes bulged, "Ten thousand pieces of amethyst? Why don't you just go rob someone!"

"Is ten thousand pieces of amethyst a lot?" Gao Fei pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and flicked his hair, "I don't think it's much."

"Bullshit," Hao Niu said furiously, "Ten thousand pieces of amethyst could buy you a city... oh, no, two cities... Even if you killed me, I couldn't come up with ten thousand pieces of amethyst."

Gao Fei blinked, "So how many amethysts can you come up with?"

"I..." Hao Niu's face twitched a few times, "At most, I can come up with ten pieces..."

"You think you're giving alms?" As soon as Gao Fei heard this, he became agitated, "I ask for ten thousand pieces, and you offer me ten, aren't you shameless?"

"I'm shameless?" Hao Niu almost exploded with anger, "It's clearly you who are shameless! You ask for ten thousand pieces of amethyst with such greed, not just me, even Miao Kuangfeng couldn't produce that amount."

"This deal can't be done, I'm going back," Gao Fei turned and walked towards the black mist.

"You stop right there!" Hao Niu bellowed.

Gao Fei stopped neatly in his tracks and turned to look at Hao Niu, "What? Changed your mind again? Agreed to my conditions?"

Hao Niu took a deep breath, suppressing his rage, "I can give you twenty pieces of amethyst at most, that's already my limit... Hey, don't go... I'll raise the offer a bit... Twenty-five pieces, deal? Okay, I'll give you thirty pieces!"

Without another word, Gao Fei turned and left.

"You... you stop right there..." Hao Niu was livid, panting heavily, "I'll give you... fifty pieces of amethyst... That's all I have on me... If you're still not satisfied, I can't do anything else..."

Reading his expressions and words, Gao Fei guessed that Hao Niu was telling the truth, and those fifty pieces of amethyst were probably Hao Niu's entire family fortune.

Grandmother's legs! Extortion really is a promising profession! Just by moving your lips, you can get fifty pieces of amethyst... Where else can you find such a deal!

Yeah, this is a racket to keep up!

Though delighted inside, Gao Fei feigned difficulty on his face, pursing his lips and frowning reluctantly, extending his hand, "Fine... let's settle on fifty pieces of amethyst... Stay where you are and throw them over," Gao Fei remained vigilant against Hao Niu and the others, ready to retreat into the black mist at any sign of trouble.

What a motherfucker!

You little shit, just wait, I'll kill you one day!

Hao Niu fumbled in his chest for a long time before he took out a storage bag, looking at it fondly for several moments before throwing it over.

"Swoosh!"

The storage bag traced a beautiful parabola in the air before falling to the ground.

With a gesture, the storage bag flew automatically into Gao Fei's hand.

When Gao Fei opened the Storage Bag and saw what was inside, he couldn't help bursting into hearty laughter. Oh, it was delightful, absolutely delightful—he was in seventh heaven! Inside the Storage Bag were fifty pieces of Amethyst, glowing purple with a dense Spiritual Energy that touched one's heart. They looked so beautiful, so enchanting.

With these fifty pieces of Amethyst, Gao Fei could cultivate quickly and enhance his Cultivation at a rapid pace.

"Hey, kid! I've met your second condition already! Now state your third condition!" Hao Niu shouted with a face as dark as iron, mourning over the loss of fifty pieces of Amethyst, which pained him deeply.

"Ahem…" Gao Fei put away the Storage Bag and then coughed a few times for effect: "Are you sure you want to hear the third condition?"

"Spit it out!"

"You'd better brace yourselves because the third condition is a bit tricky. After hearing it, you might blow your tops."

"Cut the crap and say your third condition!"

"Since you're so keen to hear it, then I'll tell you." As he spoke, Gao Fei stepped backwards, coming ever closer to the mist. To others, the mist was a devil, a disaster that didn't blink an eye before devouring people, but for Gao Fei, the mist was a treasure, a guarantee of his safety.

With the mist there, Gao Fei didn't need to fear Hao Niu and the others.

As the saying goes, there's a remedy for everything.

"Listen up; I'm going to say it." Gao Fei cleared his throat and said loudly, "The third condition is… you all commit suicide!"

"What did you say!!!"

"Didn't catch that? I'll say it again. As long as you all commit suicide, I will hand over Miao Kuangfeng!"

"Argh... I'm going to kill you, you bastard!!!"

"Kill your mom! I'm out of here; not playing with you guys anymore." Gao Fei stepped back and disappeared into the mist.

Hao Niu was livid with rage. If it weren't for Ma Wei holding him back tightly, he would have charged into the mist to settle the score with Gao Fei.

"Calm down!" Ma Wei scolded: "You know full well how terrifying the mist is. If you rush in, you're headed straight for a dead end!"

"Pfft… Pfft…"

Hao Niu's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing harsh: "So we just… let it go..." Hao Niu realized he had been played by Gao Fei; not only had he killed Cao Buwei and Di Renkui, but he had also lost fifty pieces of Amethyst. "I am the top fool with a capital 'F'." As he said this, Hao Niu turned to look at Ma Wei: "And you're fool number two!"

"Damn it! What's that got to do with me!" Ma Wei cursed: "You were the one who got duped, not me."

"Why didn't you stop me then? If you had, I might not have been tricked!"

"I…"

"Got nothing to say now, huh?"

"Say your mom! Hao Niu, you looking for a beating, is that it?"

"Come on then, I've got a belly full of fire and nowhere to vent it!"

"Clang clang clang!"

"Crash bang bash!"

"Ding ding ding!"

...

As they argued, the two began to fight. This was no sparring match but a real brawl with actual weapons, and the scene was intense.

The two were evenly matched in strength, so it was very difficult to determine the victor. Moreover, they both retained some semblance of reason and didn't use their most deadly moves; thus, it was even harder to decide the winner. The best outcome would be mutual defeat.
