Chapter 126: Chapter 126, Taking Advantage of a Crisis for Personal Gain

At the same time, a monstrous fish capsized a speedboat, causing the five middle-aged men aboard to scream as they plunged into the lake. Even though they held compound crossbows, they couldn’t fire them before being attacked by the fish.

Crimson blood spread like ink dropped on a white sheet of paper, instantly diffusing.

"Master, something seems to have trapped our speedboat. The engine won’t start at all," a middle-aged man looked anxiously at Zhang Tianlong.

The others were equally unsettled; the engines of their speedboats had stopped working, and it felt like something was entangling their boats.

"As they say, ignoring the advice of elders leads to immediate suffering. I clearly warned you not to enter South Lake, yet you refused to listen!" Xu Wendong’s voice echoed over South Lake. Standing at the prow, with one hand behind his back, he exuded an aura akin to a Grandmaster.

Despite the raging winds and turbulent waves, he remained unwavering, projecting a powerful presence.

Zhang Tianlong said in terror, "Please, master, save us from this place."

Earlier, he hadn’t taken Xu Wendong seriously and didn’t believe South Lake was a place of trouble. But now, he was utterly convinced. He also realized that with his capabilities, he couldn’t resolve the hidden dangers of South Lake, let alone leave the place alive.

Hence, he had to seek Xu Wendong’s help.

Before Xu Wendong could speak, Jin Jianyuan shouted, "It’s possible for Doctor Xu to save you, but shouldn’t you offer a reward? We wouldn’t take advantage of the situation unreasonably. Just give us a small target, say, a hundred million!"

Zhang Tianlong felt like swearing: Are you sure this isn’t taking advantage of the situation?

Although he was akin to the Pyramid of the Feng Shui World in Guangdong Province, a hundred million was still a considerable sum to him. However, to survive, he agreed readily, "As long as the master saves us from this place, I, Zhang Tianlong, will pay a hundred million."

Xu Wendong was at a loss for words.

How has making money become so easy?

Nevertheless, he had Jin Lingqiang maneuver the speedboat next to Zhang Tianlong and the others’. With a single hand pinching the spell, under the unnoticed gazes of others, he released a faint blood-colored rune.

Immediately, the speedboat under Zhang Tianlong restarted, and his disciples frantically steered it towards the shore.

Watching Zhang Tianlong and his disciples depart in succession, Uncle Fu panicked, nervously saying, "Mister Xu, please save us from this place."

Though he didn’t like Xu Wendong, he knew that only Xu Wendong could save their lives right now.

"I can save you too, for two hundred million." Xu Wendong wore a mischievous smile, admittedly feeling somewhat numb to money.

After all, he had made seven hundred million today alone.

Previously, this was an astronomical figure he hadn’t dared to dream about.

Uncle Fu agreed at once, "Fine."

"Don’t be too quick to agree," Xu Wendong said, "I have two additional conditions. First, have the woman behind you personally ask me to save your lives."

"Second, after leaving this place, both of you must kneel before Zhao Sihai’s grave and repent."

"Even if I die, I won’t kneel in front of Zhao Sihai’s grave." Yan Shuangshuang was full of anger. She knew Xu Wendong wanted to vent his hatred, but she, feeling superior to others, wouldn’t kneel before Zhao Sihai’s grave to repent. Not even if she died.

Xu Wendong let out a sinister smile, "Then you can go to hell!"

Bang!

No sooner had he finished speaking, the speedboat beneath Yan Shuangshuang was violently struck, causing her to scream in terror.

"Mister Xu, as the saying goes, ’leave room as a person, so you can meet again in the future,’ do you really intend to exterminate us?" Uncle Fu’s face was grim.

Jin Jianyuan chimed in crazily, "Do you think you’ll have a tomorrow?"

Uncle Fu was at a loss for words.

Indeed!

Do we have a tomorrow?

Xu Wendong stood quietly at the prow, "Exterminate you all? No, no, no. I am a doctor. A doctor’s duty is to save lives. But you pushed me into the endless Abyss, leaving me in the company of demons—all of this started with you!" As he spoke, his eyes revealed immense hatred and a thirst for revenge.

"Remember, billions of beings in this world, everyone has the right to call me ruthless and inhumane, except you."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A series of collisions shook the speedboat beneath Uncle Fu, wobbling as if it might sink at any moment.

In contrast, the speedboat beneath Xu Wendong, though less than three meters away from the other, remained unscathed.

"Fine, I’ll repent at Zhao Sihai’s grave. Please, save us from this place." Yan Shuangshuang eventually chose to compromise. Dignity was important, but nothing was more important than life.

"He-tui!" Xu Wendong spat harshly. It looked like an ordinary spit, but in fact, it contained True Qi, the nemesis of any evil presence.

Sure enough, when the spit landed on Yan Shuangshuang’s speedboat, it instantly restarted, then under Uncle Fu’s control, it cut through the waves and sped towards the shore.

Jin Jianyuan said, "Doctor Xu, in my opinion, there’s no need to save them. Such despicable people should be left to perish in South Lake."

Xu Wendong shook his head, "They indeed have sinned, but letting them perish in South Lake would be too merciful."

"In retrospect, do you think living is a blessing for them?"

"No, no, no. Soon they will realize that living is more painful than death."

"Alright, full speed ahead, to the island."

"Yes." Jin Lingqiang increased the power, heading towards Lake Heart Island.

Actually, Xu Wendong had considered not saving Yan Shuangshuang and Uncle Fu, but if they died, his meticulously laid plan would lose its value.

He wanted Yan Shuangshuang to clearly understand that only he could solve the crisis of South Lake.

And to know that a month later, Shengpeng Building would change hands.

If she couldn’t witness these events, Xu Wendong would feel devoid of any sense of accomplishment.

The closer they got to Lake Heart Island, the larger the waves became. Although no monstrous fish dared to attack Xu Wendong, the waves rolling towards them still impacted them.

Meanwhile, Yan Shuangshuang and the others, still shaken, reached the shore, faces etched with fear and unease.

Yan Shuangshuang, not overthinking, immediately found Zhang Tianlong and nervously asked, "Master Zhang, can’t you really resolve the crisis here?"

Zhang Tianlong nodded solemnly, "Yes, the issue here has transcended mere Feng Shui. No, to be precise, the hazard here has long surpassed Feng Shui."

"I have a strong premonition that this place is very likely nurturing a terrifying evil."

"Facing this situation, the Feng Shui Community can’t resolve this predicament."

"However, that young man seems capable of dispelling the danger here."

Yan Shuangshuang trembled violently inside. She couldn’t have dreamed the situation here was so perilous, nor that Zhang Tianlong would hold Xu Wendong in such high regard.

Even if Xu Wendong could resolve the danger here, would he help her do so?
