Chapter 1501: Chapter 1464: Owing Money

“Yang Jian, something is off at that place. My paper man foresaw dangerous paranormal activity there. Although it was brief, we managed to scout it. There were no people from the King Organization present.”

At this moment.

Leuk San’s paper man detected some disturbances in Dahai City. He did not hesitate and immediately spoke up.

“Is it a supernatural event?” Yang Jian asked.

“Not quite,” Leuk San shook his head and said, “If it were a supernatural event, there would definitely be fierce ghosts wandering nearby. I suggest we take a look. Although it might waste some time, we shouldn’t dismiss such a suspicious spot. The King Organization people haven’t shown up from the beginning till now, this could be a lead.”

Yang Jian remained silent. He simply went to the top floor of a nearby building and opened his ghost eyes to look in the direction Leuk San mentioned.

The ghost eyes viewed afar, ignoring the obstruction from buildings.

He tried to see clearly what abnormality was present in the area Leuk San mentioned.

Initially, he expected some paranormal interference while using the ghost eyes, but surprisingly, everything in the city’s direction was abnormally calm. Everything seemed normal, with no paranormal interference as if someone had entirely cleansed all paranormal activities from that area.

“No wonder Leuk San found it unusual. A dangerous paranormal event suddenly appeared, then vanished, with no sign of the King Organization people nor any trace of fierce ghosts. This seemingly normal situation is, in fact, the most abnormal thing.” Yang Jian now believed Leuk San’s suspicion was correct.

However, as he continued to peer through the ghost eyes, an unusual figure appeared in his sight.

It was a woman wearing a red cheongsam and high heels, humming a tune as she roamed aimlessly on the silent morning street, leaving a charming silhouette in Yang Jian’s view.

The ghost eyes’ gaze seemed to have caught this woman’s attention.

Suddenly.

The woman stopped, swayed her hips, turned back, and gave a captivating smile.

“I thought you wouldn’t come to Dahai City, but here you are.” Yang Jian said aloud.

The next moment.

The distance in reality broke, and before he finished speaking, Yang Jian was already in front of Sister Hong with the remaining captains.

Sister Hong glanced at all the captains, her gaze finally resting on He Yuelian in a red wedding dress. She studied her for a while before saying to Yang Jian, “I just like bustling scenes. With such a commotion here, how could I not come to take a look? But you’re late, I already eliminated those people.”

“Those people?” Yang Jian asked, “Which people are you referring to?”

“A group of strangers, looked like foreigners and quite fierce. I was just passing through to ask for directions, and they wanted to kill me. In the end, I had no choice but to fight them, but they were pretty skilled. One managed to escape from under my hand.”

Sister Hong sighed softly, feeling that she might be getting old and less capable, as one person managed to slip away from her.

“You actually eliminated those remaining Kings?” At this moment, Leuk San, He Yiner, Li Leping, and others all looked at Sister Hong with great surprise.

No wonder the Kings’ traces couldn’t be found; they had fought Sister Hong and were almost wiped out.

But how could this be?

Even though the King Organization had suffered heavy losses, there were still several Kings left, at least five or six. Sister Hong was just one person; although her strength might be decent, she was certainly not the top tier. How could she nearly annihilate them?

Could there have been other helpers?

Besides astonishment, everyone was then filled with suspicion, finding it hard to believe Sister Hong had accomplished all this alone.

Yang Jian, on the other side, remained silent, just staring at Sister Hong because he knew what methods she must have used to take down those Kings. After all, she represented a top team of ghost handlers from the Republic era. If she truly went all out, not just five or six Kings, even the entire King Organization coming together would be doomed.

But her mood was unpredictable, and Yang Jian couldn’t be sure of her real stance now.

Maybe today Sister Hong would help him take out those Kings, or maybe one day when she’s in a bad mood, she might go looking for trouble with the captains again.

To her, this modern city was just like her playground; her true self still lingered in that Republic era.

“If the remaining Kings are truly dead, does that mean this war is over?” He Yiner pondered briefly, then slowly uttered this question.

“Over? Perhaps, but the supernatural scene has become even more complicated,” Leuk San said. “So many died this time, and with supernatural events out of control, the situation has headed into an uncontrollable direction. No one can predict what might happen next.”

Yang Jian said, “That’s for later. But I don’t think this war is over; it’s still ongoing. I faced some members of the King Organization before, and they already had internal issues. Some Kings weren’t even alive; they were pure fierce ghosts.”

“Behind this war lurk those fierce ghosts’ shadows. Now that the King Organization is gone, I’m afraid some things will start surfacing.”

The other captains fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Sister Hong laughed and said, “The future belongs to you guys, and what it becomes is up to you. But Yang Jian, you owe me a lot of money now. When will you pay me back?”

Previously, Yang Jian promised Sister Hong twenty yuan whenever a King was eliminated.

Of course, this was not ordinary money but extremely rare Ghost Money.

“I won’t renege. How many Kings did you eliminate before?” Yang Jian asked.

“Didn’t count exactly, maybe around five,” Sister Hong smiled and said: “So you owe me two hundred yuan, a hefty sum.”

Two hundred yuan?

Yang Jian’s face darkened. He only had 40 yuan of Ghost Money, thinking Sister Hong might take down one or two Kings at most. Who would have guessed she took out five all in one go?

“I don’t have that much money on me right now.”

Sister Hong smiled slightly, “No worries, I trust you won’t default. You can owe it for now; I’ll come and collect when I’m free.”

“I could offer this to settle the debt,” Yang Jian said, taking out an old Copper Coin.

This was initially a spiritual item from Sister Hong’s possession.

“You keep it. I don’t need it anymore. You don’t need to rush to pay back; there’s plenty of time to save up. With your abilities, I believe it won’t take you long to gather this sum,” Sister Hong refused Yang Jian’s offer to settle the debt with a spiritual item, smiling.

Yang Jian could tell Sister Hong wasn’t really after the money but wanted a reason to entangle herself with him.

That was not good news.

Getting entangled with someone like her was incredibly dangerous.

Yang Jian said, “No matter, your intervention really did help us solve a big problem this time. Logically, I should thank you, but considering your past actions, I still hold some reservations toward you. I just hope we can have opportunities for future collaborations instead of being at odds.”

“Who can say about the future? Let’s leave the conversation here today. I should go; there’s nothing interesting here anymore, time to head to the next place,” Sister Hong smiled slightly, then turned around to leave gracefully.

Yang Jian didn’t stop her, just calmly watched her leave.

“Truly a dangerous character,” Leuk San commented with a suppressed voice only after Sister Hong left.

“There is more than just her; Zhang Xiangguang is also dangerous,” Yang Jian said solemnly, “He disappeared after eliminating a few Kings. He probably left Dahai City too since our deal is complete. Now he’s free to do anything he wants.”

“I hope he’ll stay in line and not cause major issues; otherwise, it’ll be another trouble.”

“Since everything is clear now, it’s time to wrap things up; we still have work to do,” Yang Jian added.

Currently, Dahai City has unknown numbers of supernatural and lurking threats. The captains will have to stay and handle the aftermath for a while.

But Yang Jian is right; this matter is not over yet.

Because not far from Dahai City, on the sea, a thin mist has reappeared, and within it, an old, slanted ship looms in and out of view. On its deck, a terrifying figure stands motionless, seemingly gazing in Dahai City’s direction.
