Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Do You Know Who He Is?

Long Duba continued, "As for the loss of money due to the elixirs, we might as well not mention it for now, but the fact that the Myriad Poison Pill could be neutralized affects the future business of our sect, and even more so our standing in the Martial Arts community. You should know which matters more."

Mei Dufeng was also solemn, earnestly saying, "Yes, what should we do? Should we report this matter to the sect immediately?"

"Not for now. We must bring back something."

Long Duba shook his head.

"Brother, what do we need to bring back?"

Mei Dufeng asked, puzzled.

"The reason that boy was able to neutralize the Myriad Poison Pill was solely due to that Detoxification Pill; hence, we must bring one back to thoroughly study its mysteries," Long Duba said pensively.

"But didn’t that boy say he didn’t have any left?"

Mei Dufeng said, "Those kinds of antidotes—he probably got through some dumb luck. It’s likely none are left."

"Whether there are any or not isn’t for you or me to guess—we closely monitor that boy, and we’ll know if he still has any Detoxification Pills."

Long Duba said.

"Alright, I’ll go with Long Yi and Long Er. Brother, you just wait for our good news. If that boy still has any, we’ll definitely make him hand them over," Mei Dufeng said, nodding.

Long Yi and Long Er, being naturally murderous, displayed sinister smiles upon hearing their uncle’s ominous tone.

In the evening, Liu Gaoze and Tang Ming came to a hotel arranged by the auction organizers to rest. Feeling hungry on the way, they found a small eatery to grab some food, but they did not notice that three people were following them—it was Mei Dufeng and his companions.

"You two haven’t shown yourselves, and that boy doesn’t know you, so go in and listen carefully. Remember to listen to every word they say."

Mei Dufeng instructed Long Yi and Long Er.

"Uncle, rest assured, we will complete the mission."

Long Yi responded, leading Long Er into the restaurant pretending to be diners.

Standing outside, Mei Dufeng pulled out his phone, immediately putting earphones in his ears, appearing to listen to music. In reality, he was listening through the listening devices on Long Yi and Long Er.

In the restaurant, Liu Gaoze and Tang Ming sat opposite each other, each with a cup of weak tea in front of them.

"What’s the deal with that young lady and you? You seem to know her?"

Liu Gaoze asked, waiting for the food, recalling what had happened earlier.

"I helped her out with a small favor before. Today, she encountered a suitor and was being pursued relentlessly, so she pulled me in as a shield," Tang Ming explained.

"Is it just that simple?"

Liu Gaoze was skeptical.

"It’s just that simple."

As the waiter brought the food, Tang Ming picked up his chopsticks and started eating unabashedly.

Liu Gaoze picked up a few bites of the dishes and, after eating, was reminded of what happened at the auction and couldn’t help asking, "How did you come to have such powerful Detoxification Pills?"

"What don’t I have?"

Tang Ming said indistinctly, eating his meal.

"Do you still have any Detoxification Pills?"

Liu Gaoze asked tentatively, thinking of the effects of the Detoxification Pills, which were extremely useful to him.

"Uncle, are you interested?"

Tang Ming ate with gusto, laughing as he spoke.

"Haha, as you say, who wouldn’t want that? Your detoxification pills work so well, if you have some, give one to me and Meng Ting."

Liu Gaoze said.

"No problem, you can have as many as you want."

Tang Ming declared boldly.

Meanwhile, at a table behind them, Long Yi and Long Er were eating noodles and couldn’t help but smile when they heard this conversation.

Outside the door, Mei Dufeng also took out his earplugs, triumphantly saying, "Senior brother was right; this kid still has elixirs on him."

Tang Ming was just talking with Liu Gaoze when suddenly, a loud laughter was heard from outside the shop.

Tang Ming turned his head and saw Mei Dufeng stride in; he immediately recognized this guy as a member of the Poison Sect, the same one who auctioned the Myriad Poison Pill.

What was he doing here? Was he seeking revenge? Tang Ming quietly became alert. Although he was not afraid of Mei Dufeng, Liu Gaoze was beside him, a common man without a poison-immune body.

As Mei Dufeng walked in, Long Yi and Long Er also stood up, positioning themselves behind Tang Ming.

The three of them surrounded Tang Ming and Liu Gaoze, wearing malicious smiles, clearly up to no good.

"What do you want? Not satisfied with the auction? Or are you here for revenge?"

Tang Ming asked, unphased.

"Heh."

Mei Dufeng chuckled, approached Tang Ming and said, "Give us one of those detoxification pills, and we’ll call it even."

"Give you one? Don’t say I don’t have them. Even if I did have one worth millions, I would be too generous to just give it to you for millions. You might as well go rob someone."

Tang Ming scoffed, "No wait, even robbing wouldn’t get you that much."

"Not giving it?"

Mei Dufeng’s face turned fierce, and he said:

"Then we won’t be polite."

"Not polite, thinking of starting a fight? I must tell you, we are protected by several major martial arts families. Just this threat you’re making is going against these families. I think if your Poison Sect wants to participate in future auctions, people really need to reconsider whether it’s worth doing business with you."

Tang Ming spoke confidently.

Mei Dufeng hesitated; he truly didn’t dare to be violent while Tang Ming, despite looking young, was not easily intimidated—an unexpected turnout for Mei Dufeng.

But he needed to get the job done, so Mei Dufeng immediately switched to a smiling face and said, "Then let’s make a deal. Your detoxification pill fetched twenty million at the auction; we will give you twenty million. That should settle it, right? Can you hand over the elixir now?"

Tang Ming glanced at Mei Dufeng and bluntly said, "Didn’t I say earlier that I don’t have any more? You didn’t bid at the auction, and now you come to me. Do you think these detoxification pills are like radishes, easy to grab by the handful?"

"Hmph, don’t give me that. We heard you earlier; you still have detoxification pills, claiming you have as many as needed. Do you think we are deaf?"

Mei Dufeng bellowed as he questioned.

Tang Ming quickly realized that his conversation with Liu Gaoze had been overheard by these guys, no wonder they came asking for detoxification pills!

But Tang Ming found these people quite annoying and wasn’t inclined to sell to them even if he had any.

"You believe that?"

Tang Ming pointed at Liu Gaoze and said, "Do you even know who he is?"

"How would I know?"

Mei Dufeng asked, baffled.

"He’s my father-in-law. If he asks, can I say no? Wouldn’t that mess up our marriage? I was just putting on an act in front of him, and you took it seriously?"

Tang Ming said speechlessly.
