Chapter 559: Chapter 557 Back to the Old Hotel

Since the Sword Qi Crystal was a pitfall, there was no way Wen Wen would touch it personally, who knew what would trigger this trap.

However, Wen Wen intended to take away the metal exterior, so he used the Ice Longsword to break through the external layer of metal and knocked a milky-white sword-shaped Crystal Stone to the ground, then he collected the metal.

The Crystal Stone was roughly as thick as a finger and over ten centimeters long, swirling with astonishing Sword Qi inside.

Without the metal covering, the Crystal Stone appeared even more tempting; Wen Wen truly admired his earlier restraint from its allure.

After briefly admiring it, Wen Wen resolutely shifted his gaze away.

He cut a piece from Li Haiyang’s oddly-smelling blanket, wrapped the Sword Qi Crystal in it, then returned it to the box, handing the box over to Barcode who was standing by.

"Take it, and then accompany me to the old hotel."

Barcode hesitated for a moment, then said, "Didn’t you say that as long as I handed over this Sword Qi Crystal to you, you’d let me go?"

"Yeah," Wen Wen said matter-of-factly, "but did you see me touch the Sword Qi Crystal with my hands? So you still have to listen to me."

Barcode hesitated again and then showed a bitter expression, thinking that if you’re strong, then you’re the boss, whatever you say goes...

Wen Wen chuckled lightly and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you. After all, you are still useful to me."

"When the time comes, give the Sword Qi Crystal to whoever I say. If someone tries to rob you, just hand it over to them. If you follow orders honestly, I might even consider helping you take back your organization."

Barcode curled his lip, doubting that Wen Wen really intended to kindly help him regain control of his organization.

But seeing Wen Wen’s performance, he also understood that the Sword Qi Crystal was actually not a good thing. Those fighting for it were just like monkeys being played by a poisonous apple.

So he followed behind Wen Wen, heading toward the old hotel.

Wen Wen wanted to go back to the old hotel mainly to see the buck-toothed old security guard and Chai Yun.

Chai Yun had helped Wen Wen, and he had promised to rescue her from the hotel; he couldn’t go back on his word.

Even though he had made up his mind to deal with Red Beard, he still didn’t know Red Beard’s location. The only place to obtain a clue was from the old hotel.

When they reached the hotel, dawn was breaking, and the area had returned to tranquillity; the black-clad security guards with dogs continued their patrols, unaware of anything, thinking the night had passed without incident.

Wen Wen and Barcode, showing the old hotel’s room cards, smoothly entered the hotel.

What surprised Wen Wen was that all of the hotel’s guards were not at their posts, and Chai Yun was not in her guest room either. It seemed they were all on the fifth floor, in a large room, presumably discussing something.

...

In the largest room on the fifth floor, Chai Yun was pinned against the wall with a white net, her mouth sealed with strong duct tape, making only muffled sounds.

Seated on the sofa in the center of the room were the six superpower users of the old hotel, led by Jumo.

They were all wrapped in bandages, having sustained injuries of varying degrees in the previous battle. After receiving rudimentary treatment, they had gathered here to judge Chai Yun.

After a moment of silence, Jumo coughed and said, "Front desk receptionist Chai Yun has lost the pendant symbolizing her employee status and even provided information about the old hotel to that mysterious individual—what do you think should be done with her?"

"Kill her, we must kill her. But I’ll keep her pretty little face as a trophy."

Sister Zhao, with an ugly appearance, let out a sinister laugh. Due to her congenitally deformed looks, she harbored a pathological hatred towards beautiful women.

She had once peeled off the faces of several beautiful women and pasted them onto her own, eventually becoming hunted by the Hunters Association, and in the end, she could only hide within an old inn.

From the day that the youthful and beautiful Chai Yun moved into the inn, Sister Zhao had taken a dislike to her. If it weren’t for the protection of the bucktoothed old security guard, Chai Yun might have already fallen victim to Sister Zhao’s malicious hands.

"Red Beard doesn’t allow us to harm ordinary people outside the inn at will..." The bucktoothed old security guard stood up and spoke.

A man with greasy long hair and brownish skin, skinny as a rake, sinisterly said, "She volunteered to work at the old inn; she doesn’t count as someone from outside the inn."

This man was in charge of overseeing the second floor of the inn, and his name was Tong Zhuangzhuang. As a child, because of his strange skin color, he had been bullied by the local children, leading to his twisted personality.

After he grew up, he took cruel vengeance for the humiliations he suffered as a child.

The ones who insulted him had their mouths torn, those who hit him had their hands broken, and the one who stole his snacks ended up with their stomach stuffed full of those very snacks...

As a result, he was wanted by the local Hunters Association. After drifting from place to place, he finally found refuge in the old inn.

The old lady on the third floor held a basin of grapes and sucked on them one by one with a toothless mouth.

She didn’t want to say anything, she didn’t want to interfere with anything, many things had become insignificant to her at her age.

Little Mai Dou on the fifth floor looked at Chai Yun with an expression of pity on his face.

But he said nothing; he always did as others bade and never acted on his own initiative.

After hearing his five subordinates’ opinions, Jumo coughed lightly and said, "Two want to kill, one doesn’t, and two abstain from giving their opinion... let’s kill her then."

Upon hearing Jumo’s words, tears formed in the corners of Chai Yun’s eyes as she struggled fiercely, but she was utterly unable to break free from the web constructed by the Supernatural Power.

Jumo placed his hand on Chai Yun’s neck and said, "Don’t blame me, you signed a contract before starting your job, which required you not to divulge employee information."

With just a bit of force, he could snap Chai Yun’s delicate neck, but he wanted to preface his action with a bit of positive energy.

Although killing an innocent girl had nothing to do with positive energy, as long as he could motivate himself to believe what he was doing was right, then his actions would be just.

So, even though Jumo had done many such things, he still had no sense of guilt and never thought he had done anything wrong.

"A true man acts decisively... and does not change his name..."

Bang!

The room’s door was kicked open, and Wen Wen entered accompanied by Barcode.

"This baldy and I disagree with killing Miss Chai Yun. Now it’s three against two. So, can you release her now?"

Barcode found it a bit speechless; what do you mean ’this baldy’...

"I’m the manager; my word is final."

Jumo snorted coldly and was about to act when his eyes brightened upon seeing Wen Wen and his companion clearly.

"It’s you two. I was just about to look for you. Master Red Beard wants to see you."

"That’s perfect; I want to see him too," Wen Wen said with a smile.
