Li Xiaoya's sister questioned, "Xiaoya, what are you disappointed about? Once you marry him, you'll be rich. Her money is your money, isn't it just ten thousand dollars? Besides, you should honor our parents. Don't you think so?"

"Bullshit!"

Li Xiaoya pointed at her sister and said, "If it weren't for you, always thinking of selling me off, I wouldn't have been sold in the first place. Our parents originally disagreed, but when they heard about the ten thousand dollars, they immediately got tempted. I can understand and forgive them for that, but I can't believe you refuse to return the ten thousand dollars. It really disappoints me."

"Xiaoya, don't speak against your conscience," Li Xiaoya's sister pointed at her and said, "If I hadn't sold you, would you have found such a good family? You should be grateful to us. Don't repay kindness with ingratitude. Our parents raised you for over twenty years, and you think ten thousand dollars is too little?!"

Li Xiaoya was heartbroken. She once thought she was worth more than ten thousand dollars. However, after giving her family a chance, they ignored it completely, valuing only that ten thousand dollars. They sold their daughter, so she had no reason to stay any longer.

She nodded at the Butcher, who entered the car and brought out a suitcase, which upon opening was filled with one hundred dollar bills, neatly arranged. The crowd erupted into chaos, destroying the picket fence. Li Xiaoya's sister hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Xiaoya, you're the best! All this money is ours now, haha... uh."

At this moment, the Butcher took out a machete and placed it directly on Li Xiaoya's sister's neck, glaring coldly at her. He said, "If anyone dares to move, I'll slaughter them first. You can try if you don't believe me."

Just one sentence scared the crowd back.

Li Xiaoya looked at an elderly lady in the crowd and spoke, "Grandma Li, you helped me when I was in trouble and brought me food in the snowy weather. Here's ten thousand dollars. I know your children are filial, but your family is too poor. Take this as living expenses."

Grandma Li, supported by her two sons, took the ten thousand dollars.

Then Li Xiaoya looked at an old man and said, "Uncle Li, thank you for the frostbite medicine. If it weren't for the medicine, my hands might've been ruined by now. Here's two thousand, take it."

After expressing her gratitude to those who had helped her, half of the suitcase of money was gone in an instant. The rest was taken back by the Butcher, not a cent to her parents.

Li Xiaoya turned around, and at the moment she was getting into the car, she said, "I gave you a chance. If you had returned the ten thousand dollars, all this money would've been yours. Unfortunately, you didn't, so I have no ties with this place anymore, and I will never return!" With that, Li Xiaoya got into the car, closed the door, and the car vanished from sight in an instant.

Li Xiaoya's sister and parents watched their neighbors return with money, filled with regret. Only Li Xiaoya's sister angrily stomped her foot and said, "That damned girl, we should have killed her from the start!"

In the car, Li Xiaoya cried, cried with all her heart.

Two years later, when Li Xiaoya returned again, her parents were already gone. It's said that they were abused to death by her sister, who brought home a live-in son-in-law to get that ten thousand dollars. After the old folks' deaths, her husband spent his days drinking, smoking, gambling, and soon squandered the ten thousand dollars. Her sister spent her days enduring beatings and scolding from her husband.

Li Xiaoya left in even greater despair, but she was no longer tied down by anything.

...

Inside the villa, Lin Fei watched the spirited Butcher and Li Xiaoya, unable to hold back a smile. He said, "Butcher, when you go abroad, don't bully Xiaoya, treat her well, or we brothers will never forgive you."

The Butcher gave a hearty laugh and said, "Haha, don't worry, boss. No matter how bloody or violent I may be, I would never bully my own woman!"

"That's how a man should be. Alright, let's go. The plane's going to be delayed soon," Radar said.

"Boss, I think you should go abroad with sister-in-law. Develop overseas; though it's not home, it's much more comfortable," the Butcher advised Lin Fei as they were leaving.

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "Perhaps I'll return abroad soon, but not just yet. There are still many unresolved issues. Once everything is settled, I'll join you guys to start fresh abroad, and I hope you won't disappoint me."

"No way, boss. Don't you know me, Butcher?" the Butcher laughed.

The other brothers laughed too. Lin Fei glanced at Lin Xiaoya, smiling but not genuinely happy. However, he couldn't say much since her concerns needed the Butcher to understand slowly. Adding his words might only complicate things.

Subsequently, Lin Fei drove, taking the Butcher, Radar, and others to the airport. Watching his brothers leave, Lin Fei felt sentimental. The bond of brotherhood is indescribable, yet profoundly deep. Even if not seen for years, the deep affection remains unchanged upon reuniting. However, watching his brothers strive stirred the heat in his veins once again. Lin Fei turned away.

"Feeling sentimental?" Crin Meka asked.

"I thought you weren't leaving. Aren't you staying longer in Mo Country?" Lin Fei asked.

Crin Meka shook his head, stepped forward, embraced Lin Fei's neck, ignored Mu Shanshan behind him, and kissed Lin Fei on the mouth. Then he let go and said, "Mo Country is a good place, a place for ordinary people's peace and happiness. But for us, it's not suitable. You should know, I await your return, King of Hell's Judgement!"

Lin Fei moved his lips but couldn't find words. Watching Crin Meka leave as well, his heart, his hand was caught by Mu Shanshan. Watching the departing plane, Mu Shanshan said, "Lin Fei, if you want to fly, then fly. After all, you can take me with you."

"Really?" Lin Fei turned, looking at Mu Shanshan.

Mu Shanshan blushed and nodded.

Without another word, Lin Fei hooked Mu Shanshan's jaw and kissed her greedily, fervently claiming her. Mu Shanshan did not resist, allowing Lin Fei's dominance to roam her lips…

Life seemed to return to the calm days of the past, but for Lin Fei, it was a usual occurrence. This was not a battlefield, no frenzy of war, no heated battles, nor the heroic cries of brothers.
