"Hurry up, my patience is limited. I'll give you two minutes. After two minutes, you'll regret it. Don't test my patience, or you'll end up like this wall."

Luo Chao's face twisted with viciousness. In an instant, he drew the Purple and Cyan Soft Sword from his waist, flicking it in mid-air, then slashed towards the wall at the edge of the alley. A mark at least three inches deep appeared, carved into the surface. Luo Chao shone his flashlight on the deep incision, then illuminated the two of them. His intention was clear: if you don't strip, you'll meet the same fate as this wall.

In the end, the two stripped off all their clothes, fleeing in nothing but their underwear.

"Damn, are these guys perverts?" Luo Chao checked his spoils, discovering that the clothes of the two hid women's underwear. He couldn't fathom why they carried such feminine items.

"Hm, aren't these my Ruyu pieces?" Luo Chao found two round jade pieces from the boss's clothes, identical to the ones given to him when he bought the Purple and Cyan Sword.

"No, these aren't my two pieces." Luo Chao shone his flashlight on the jade, noting that each piece had the ancient characters 'Woe' and 'Lao' inscribed.

One was further inscribed with 'Kan,' and the other with 'Li.' Luo Chao recalled that although his two pieces also bore the same ancient script, with the words 'Woe' and 'Lao' remaining unchanged, his pieces were additionally inscribed with 'Qian' and 'Kun.' Are these jade pieces connected in some way?

These pieces completed four of the eight trigrams in Luo Chao's mind. Could there be four other pieces?

Luo Chao's mind was in a fog, with no clear answers.

"Oh well, things will unfold in their own time. Worrying now is pointless!" Luo Chao finally shook his head and stowed the jade pieces in his bag. Though he didn't know their significance or connection, he decided to preserve them carefully.

After searching the clothes of the two, Luo Chao only found three hundred bucks aside from the jade pieces, which made him quite disappointed. It seemed these two had robbed him first tonight, or they wouldn't have had so little money.

But then again, if they had any assets, they wouldn't be reduced to robbing here. However, they were unlucky to encounter Luo Chao. Instead of robbing him, they were counter-robbed by Luo Chao, leaving with only their shameful escape.

Casually throwing their clothes aside, Luo Chao adjusted his attire, slung his backpack over a shoulder, and headed for his rental. This time, with the flashlight taken from the thieves, he walked confidently without hesitation, striding smoothly toward his rental.

Though the two thieves didn't seem particularly vicious, even a bit foolish, in his heart, Luo Chao despised them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted as harshly.

The boss was nearly beaten to death, bleeding from the mouth and nose. The worst part was Luo Chao stripped them, leaving only their underpants, forcing them to streak. Luo Chao realized the world was far from perfect, with all sorts of happenings. Yet, he showed no mercy to such people. If it weren't for modern laws against random killing, Luo Chao might have finished them off.

"Slap! Hmph, bitch! You're all ours from the Qingmu Society, yet you don't let us have our fun. Who do you think you are? At best, you're just a worn-out shoe. The fact we're interested shows our generosity. Didn't expect you to be ungrateful!" Just entering the yard, Luo Chao heard a slap across the face, followed by a repulsive voice.

"I refuse to do business with your Qingmu Society! You're all bastards!" Yan Ruyu's voice, filled with helplessness and indignation, yet unwavering.

"Oh, guys, did you hear that? This bitch refuses to do business with us. She thinks everyone wants her. Sure, you're pretty, but in the end, even if not ridden by a thousand men, you've been touched by hundreds. Simply put, cheap. But guys, do you think she can refuse when our Qingmu Society wants something? Today we'll show her what it means to mess with the Qingmu Society, making her see she's just a moneymaking tool for us!" that voice scoffed in response, laughing even more wickedly, speaking with even more disdain.

"Haha, right!"

"Haha, I like it. Today we'll show her we're serious meat-eaters, not herbivores!"

"Hehe, indeed, though she's worn, she's a rare beauty. Let's go, guys, make sure she can't get out of bed for days…"

...

Voices followed, each more repugnant than the last, forcing their way into Luo Chao's ears. If someone saw Luo Chao at this moment, they'd be terrified by his expression. His hair stood on end in the night wind, eyes bloodshot, exuding a bloodthirsty aura, face twisted like a raging beast, his whole body emanating ferocity.

"The world is heartless!" Luo Chao thought, glancing at neighbors watching from windows without intervening.

"Boom, boom, boom…" Luo Chao charged up the stairs like a mad Barbaric Beast, the stairs seeming to tremble in response to his rage.

Opening his door, Luo Chao dashed inside, tossing his small pack onto the bed, shrugging off his only vest-like T-shirt. His bronze skin was exposed, a strong, sculpted body, though not overly muscular like movie stars, gave an impressive, appealing sense of strength and aesthetics, quite captivating.

A quick flick of his waist, Luo Chao grasped the belt-like Purple and Cyan Soft Sword, giving it a heavy shake. The sword instantly solidified like steel, vibrating with a resonating hum, sending chills down the spine.

"Ah—let go of me—let go, let go!" From Yan Ruyu's room came her panicked, helpless, tearful voice.

The voices of four or five men grew even more unbridled, their words beyond vile.
