Chapter 137: 137 kills, dominating the entire field! [2 more updates]

It’s no wonder they harbored ill intentions; it had been a long time since a female with an Eastern appearance had appeared here.

What’s more, most of the businessmen knew this place was chaotic, a lawless zone, where traveling with hired mercenaries was a necessity, and even then, it wasn’t completely safe, with dangers lurking at any moment.

Who would bring a pretty young lady to such a place without reason?

The purpose was clear.

Since that was the case, they might as well take her away directly for the Five Major Families of Wanta Country to enjoy and choose from, earning themselves a commission in the process.

"What do you think you’re doing?!" Professor Xue quickly stepped forward, standing in front of Ye Wanlan with a fierce look, "Who said you could take her away? Did we agree to it?"

The Mercenary Captain’s eyes flashed coldly, "Old man, you seem to be a scholar from Shenzhou, surely you’re not unaware of the rules here? Don’t block the way, or you’ll not leave this place safely either!"

Professor Xue was a cultured person, who would only swear during heated arguments with Professor Foo; he was so angry his face and neck were redder than ever, "You bunch of..."

"Professor." Ye Wanlan spoke up to stop him, her expression extremely calm, "I’ll go with them."

"Good, you people of Shenzhou are indeed sensible," the Mercenary Captain smiled and reached out his hand again.

"Click!"

Ye Wanlan easily caught the Mercenary Captain’s arm and then, with a forceful twist, executed a perfect judo throw over her shoulder!

With a loud thud, the nearly one hundred ninety-centimeter tall Mercenary Captain was slammed onto the ground.

The speed was so fast that everyone failed to react in time.

Ye Wanlan didn’t give the Mercenary Captain a chance to fight back; she raised her leg, and her high heel was already pressed against his chest: "Now, may I go in?"

"..."

Silence fell over the surroundings in an instant.

Whether it was members of this small mercenary squad or other onlookers, they were all stunned.

The Mercenary Captain lay on the ground, intense pain spreading from his back throughout his body; he felt his limbs go weak and even thought he heard the sound of his bones breaking.

His head was buzzing, unable to process what had just happened.

The Mercenary Captain was thirty-six years old this year and had been a mercenary for twenty years, boasting muscular strength and expertise in hand-to-hand combat and firearms, having traversed deserts and tropical rainforests multiple times.

He had taken up employment with a family from Wanta Country last year and had come here.

This place was chaotic, sure, but it was also lucrative.

The Mercenary Captain was used to throwing his weight around, even kidnapping women before, but this time...

Ye Wanlan lifted her foot again and kicked the Mercenary Captain away.

This kick was even heavier; accompanied by a dull impact, the Mercenary Captain was knocked out cold.

Ye Wanlan dusted off her clothes; she looked up, very politely, "Excuse me?"

The two words sounded like a question, but these blood-tasting mercenaries felt a thick scent of murderous intent.

It was no surprise to them that if they continued to stand in her way, their fate would certainly be death.

"Whish..."

The mercenaries blocking the entrance scattered cleanly away.

"Let’s go." Ye Wanlan rolled up her sleeves, speaking indifferently, "Don’t be afraid."

Xiang Lefeng heard the sound of his own throat swallowing and couldn’t help but reach out to pull on Yan Tingfeng’s sleeve, "Yuefeng, this..."

"Let’s go, don’t fall behind." Yan Tingfeng’s gaze stayed on Ye Wanlan; his eyes and eyebrows were tinged with a slight smile.

Professor Foo and Professor Xue were silent as they entered the core area of the Jade Material Market, escorted by the team from the 723rd Bureau.

At this very moment, inside the core area, a few bosses were chattin about day-to-day affairs and gossip.

"A few days ago, the Old Master of the Sai Family had an incident, it is said that he was hexed and has been unconscious ever since."

"If the Old Master of the Sai Family really passes away, won’t the Sai Family fall from their position among the Five Major Families?"

"Who knows, I bet it’s definitely man-made, so many are eyeing that large ore vein of the Sai Family, all wanting a share of the action—"

"Bang!"

The door was broken open, and the chatting came to an abrupt end.

The bosses turned their heads.

The girl stood in the sunlight; golden light outlined her silhouette.

She was so breathtakingly beautiful that everything else around her seemed to fade into insignificance.

The bosses were all visibly shaken.

When had Wanta Country ever had such fine goods? Who had brought her?

"Your mercenaries here say that women can’t enter to talk business," Ye Wanlan walked forward slowly, "Is this your rule around here?"

"That’s right, it is our rule here," one of the bosses looked Ye Wanlan up and down, "Women can’t join the dinner table, nor the business table. Don’t you understand this principle?"

Another boss’s eyes showed a greedy glint of green, "But if you know how to please a man, it’s not like we can’t take you over there."

"Since you can’t understand plain language, I also have some understanding of martial arts," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "We can discuss that."

Upon hearing these words, not just the bosses of the Jade Material Market in the Starman Federal Empire but even Xiang Lefeng and the team from the 723rd Bureau were somewhat baffled.

Professor Foo and Professor Xue stuck close together, feeling that this place was very dangerous.

Only Yan Tingfeng coughed softly, his cough echoing hollow and faint, he said lightly, "Protect the professors."

The 723 Bureau squad immediately encircled Professors Foo and Xue at the very center, forming an impenetrable barrier.

It was at that instant that Ye Wanlan made her move.

"Bang!"

An elbow strike, ferocious to the extreme, hit one of the mercenaries squarely.

No one could see her movements clearly, only the sound of "crack, crack" followed her path, and mercenaries fell to the ground en masse.

Everyone watched as she leaped and landed continuously, like a butterfly with knife blades for wings, her elegance laced with deadly fierce beauty.

Professor Foo finally caught his breath, his voice trembling, "You, you... Wanlan, have you learned to fight?!"

Professor Xue hugged his head, shouting, "Enough, enough, I truly don’t know anything!"

But what mistake had he made?

Ye Wanlan seemed to be a quiet and well-behaved young lady!

He had seen her packing very beautiful modern Chinese dresses and exquisite high heels for this trip.

Who would imagine that someone with such a wardrobe could be a master of combat?!

No, perhaps ’master of combat’ wasn’t the right description anymore.

Which of the mercenaries here hadn’t taken several lives with their own hands?

Yet they hadn’t been able to withstand a single move against Ye Wanlan, all defeated in an instant.

The squad of the 723 Bureau stood dumbfounded, with a tremendous blow struck to both their bodies and minds.

A while ago, their technical department was severely scolded for not being able to restore the surveillance footage to 1080p, and those from the operations department gloated over their misfortune.

Now, they were sure to be scolded upon their return as well.

The team members felt utterly disheartened.

Ye Wanlan finally landed on her feet, with numerous mercenaries fainted beneath her.

Most of the mercenaries hadn’t even had a clear look at her face.

Ye Wanlan turned to the few jade business owners who could still move, her tone cool, "Now, shall we have a proper talk?"

"Yes, of course, of course!" the middle-aged owner scrambled toward Ye Wanlan, "Whatever you want to talk about is fine, madam, I beg you, please spare me, I’m just running a small business, my body can’t take this."

The other two owners quickly moved chairs over, "Please take a seat."

Without any pretense, Ye Wanlan took a seat, "Raw stones."

"Yes, yes, yes!" the middle-aged owner signaled to his subordinates, "Bring all the best raw stones for the madam to see!"

Professor Foo also took a seat and muttered, "That was a quick change of attitude."

"Logic only stands on the foundation of fists," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "In a place without law, if they don’t listen, a beating will suffice."

Xiang Lefeng nodded, "Sounds reasonable, much like my Xiang family’s motto."

Professor Xue looked at him expressionlessly, "What else is part of your family’s motto?"

"Of course, there is," Xiang Lefeng spread his hands, "Which of my ancestors wasn’t one to let fists do the talking?"

Professor Xue held his forehead, "Well, you’re not wrong about that."

In the meantime, several Wanta people rushed over with a cart of raw stones.

"Madam, please have a look," the middle-aged owner was very obsequious, "Which type do you need? Anything we have is yours!"

"Not enough," Ye Wanlan glanced only once, "These are Ice Type, I need Dragon Stone Type."

At those words, the looks of the owners changed.

At first, they thought she was just a pretty little girl until they were taught a lesson by her fists.

But who knew that she also had such a deep understanding of jade?

"Madam, the goods here, to put it bluntly, are filtered by the Five Major Families," the middle-aged owner said cautiously, "Our raw stones are definitely not as good as those directly from their families, maybe you should consider going to the Five Major Families..."

Ye Wanlan tapped her fingers on the table lightly, "Can the Five Major Families’ goods be easily mobilized?"

"That... that’s definitely not possible," the middle-aged owner paused, "As far as I know, they have deep collaborations with Shenzhou, the Northern Lands, the Starman Federal Empire, and the Global Center, I’m afraid..."

Ye Wanlan didn’t speak, just looked at him.

"The Sai Family!" the middle-aged owner bit his lip and blurted out, "If you can cure the illness of the Old Master of the Sai Family, they have an entire vein of Dragon Stone Type, surely enough."

Ye Wanlan finally smiled, "Good, then let’s go."

"This..." the middle-aged owner was choked again.

The illness of the Old Master of the Sai Family had stumped even the doctors of the Global Center; what hope for a cure could there be?

Nearly the whole of Wanta Country was waiting for the Old Master of the Sai Family to pass on, eager to divide up the Sai family’s wealth.

However, having spoken the words, the middle-aged owner had no choice but to lead the way with determination.

Professor Xue and Professor Foo had barely warmed their seats before they were off to the Sai Family’s place on the double.

The middle-aged owner knew the Sai Family’s people and was led in.

After the Sai Family’s butler learned of Ye Wanlan’s intention, he went to report, "Madam, there is a visitor from Shenzhou who wishes to treat the Old Master’s illness."

"What ’Shenzhou’? Tell them to get lost!" The woman turned around, her expression disgusted, "Three hundred years ago, Shenzhou was already done for, and they still think it’s the Daning Dynasty Period? Do they think because they’re from Shenzhou, they are the Taiyi Divine Doctor?"
