Chapter 193: Chapter 115 Cha Liang_3

"Sir, this person harbors malicious intentions and wants to provoke a rift between me and the City Lord’s Mansion. Please look into this, sir, as I absolutely have not done such a thing. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to search all properties under my name. Cha Liang will fully cooperate without condition," Cha Liang rose and bowed to Li Xiu, looking aggrieved and wronged.

"Ye Yuzhen, sit down first," Li Xiu stopped Ye Yuzhen, then turned to Cha Liang and said, "Mr. Cha, I must find the person. Are you willing to help me with this?"

"Certainly, I must help Sir City Lord. However, I’m merely a businessman; finding people is not my strong suit. How about this, sir? I have a batch of rubies here, just transported over from Red Sand City. As a reward for searching, let’s mobilize the entire city to find them. With so many people searching together, we should be able to find them quickly. Under the leadership of Sir City Lord, the folk of Zhongshan City are honest and the streets are safe; surely no one would commit murder or robbery. Perhaps the person you’re looking for is merely lost and will return in a few days," Cha Liang said, signaling a servant to bring in a tray. The tray held a row of rubies, though not quite the quality of pigeon blood red, their quality was quite decent.

This line of rubies, each weighing two to three carats, with more than twenty in total, holds tremendous value, more than an ordinary person could earn in a lifetime.

Ye Yuzhen’s face turned grave, Cha Liang’s intent was clear; he did not want to surrender the person, instead attempting to use money to make Li Xiu drop the issue.

So many rubies, in times of chaos like these, could pay for one life, let alone ten.

Ye Yuzhen feared Li Xiu would accept the gemstones and cease caring about Ye Xiyuan’s fate.

Ye Yuzhen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Li Xiu, who looked at Cha Liang with amusement, "Mr. Cha, you’re getting old and might not have heard clearly what I said earlier. Let me repeat: I must find this person, whether you choose to help or not."

If before Li Xiu merely wanted to do Ye Yuzhen a favor and show the people of Zhongshan City that there are rules here and no one can act wantonly within its borders.

Now Li Xiu’s interest in Ye Xiyuan outweighed both concerns.

Cha Liang was willing to offer over twenty high-quality rubies, yet refused to hand over Ye Xiyuan—was it simply for her beauty?

In this era, beauty was valuable, yet simultaneously worth the least.

With enough money, is there a beauty one cannot find? Did Cha Liang truly need to risk offending him, paying such a dear price, just to keep a girl?

Clearly, that makes no sense. Beyond beauty, Ye Xiyuan possessed the gift of a Magic Armor Master, and if there is anything more valuable than her beauty, it must be her talent as one.

For Cha Liang to pay such a high price, Ye Xiyuan’s talent as a Magic Armor Master must be extraordinary.

"Sir, as a businessman, I’m truly not capable of that. How about you tell me how you wish to find someone, and I’ll coordinate with you," Cha Liang was implying for Li Xiu to name a price.

Li Xiu didn’t speak, instead drawing a handgun and pressing it against Cha Liang’s head, "Looks like you’re truly deaf."

With Li Xiu’s action, several Magic Armor Masters and Trial Takers immediately rushed in, surrounding Li Xiu and his group.

"Sir City Lord, let’s talk this through. You’re making me very..." Cha Liang believed Li Xiu wouldn’t dare shoot, at least not immediately.

But before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, leaving a bloody hole in Cha Liang’s forehead.

Ye Yuzhen was stunned, as were the Magic Armor Masters and Trial Takers.

No one expected Li Xiu to shoot, nor did they anticipate him doing it so decisively.

Cha Liang believed Li Xiu wouldn’t shoot. Had he known Li Xiu would pull the trigger, he wouldn’t have thought to hide his identity as a Magic Armor Master; he certainly would have donned Demon Armor before meeting Li Xiu.

Unfortunately, there is no "if." Cha Liang’s expression remained frozen in shock and disbelief as he slowly fell.

Of course, even if Cha Liang had worn Demon Armor when meeting Li Xiu, results wouldn’t have differed.

"Do you wish to continue following him to your end, or would you rather join my City Lord’s Mansion?" Li Xiu calmly addressed the Magic Armor Masters and Trial Takers.

A C-Class Magic Armor Master suddenly raised his hand, his palm emanating the glow of Demonic Light.

But before he could raise his hand, a dark silhouette appeared before him; a Samurai Sword resembling a Fluorescent Stick severed his arm along with the Demon Armor.

Several shimmering figures simultaneously appeared around Li Xiu, including Demigod Shana, Love God Shooter, and Pink Nightmare.

Magic flashed and metal clashed within the room, screams echoed without pause.

From outside, one could see bursts of Demonic Light penetrating the walls, illuminating parts of the interior.

Ye Yuzhen watched the toppled corpses and blood splattered across the walls, his expression exceedingly strange.

He knew generally that ordinary Magic Armor Masters were no match for Li Xiu’s magic spirits, yet didn’t expect them to die so swiftly and decisively, meeting little to no resistance, slaughtered by the magic spirits.

Among them was an A-Class Magic Armor Master, yet he died with far less dignity than the A-Class Flowing Color Mechanical Skeleton, having been quickly dispatched with two strikes of a Jedi Knight.

"Are Magic Armor Masters truly so vulnerable before a true Trial Taker?" Ye Yuzhen increasingly felt he might have been wrong; instead of relying on Ye Xiyuan to grow stronger independently, he should have strengthened himself to protect her.

To Li Xiu, A-Class Magic Armor Masters were indeed easier to kill than A-Class magic spirits. He knew Magic Armor Masters thoroughly, including their strengths and weaknesses; in front of him, A-Class Magic Armor Masters appeared neither mysterious nor formidable.
