The land snake, who had committed countless crimes, glanced at Cai Jian, making Cai Jian's heart pound with fear, cold sweat breaking out on his back.

This was a completely different concept from a normal nephew fearing an uncle.

In ordinary circumstances, an uncle at most would be a bit strict, might scold you a few words, nothing comparable to this.

Cai Jian didn't want to become merchandise to be sold by his uncle.

"Sometimes, saying more is not as effective as taking action."

Despite his prejudices, Cai Jian believed that even the most ruthless people had family bonds to consider.

The land snake did not lose his temper over Cai Jian's slow work efficiency. Instead, he seemed to take this as the perfect opportunity to switch from theoretical guidance to practical education.

"Sfft." A sound.

He drew out a bone-cleaning knife from his clothes, the instant burst of cold glint forced Cai Jian to involuntarily close his eyes, his whole body tense, heart trembling violently.

"Uncle, if you kill him, there'll be no way to get money from him..."

A moment later, he suppressed his terror to persuade his knife-wielding uncle.

The progress was indeed significant; gradually learning to think from a profit-oriented perspective.

If he had stopped him for any other reason, the land snake likely would have been angry. In this line of work, mercy was a taboo, but fortunately, Cai Jian's performance was adequate.

The demands on newcomers shouldn't be too harsh; growth requires time.

"I didn't say I was going to kill him. Remember, dead people are the least valuable."

The land snake seemed intent on giving his nephew a thorough practical lesson, and after speaking, he used his free hand to pull out a phone from his pocket, switching to the video recording interface, then handed it over.

Cai Jian stood dumbfounded.

"Hold it."

"Oh." Cai Jian finally reacted, hurriedly taking the phone.

"Record it. Don't capture my face."

After giving instructions, the land snake started moving.

Cai Jian swallowed hard, suppressing his trembling nerves, pressed the record button, and then held up the phone, finding one hand insufficient, switching to two, with the lens trembling slightly.

Luckily it was a video recording, not a photo, so the impact wasn't significant.

The land snake was certainly on a different level than Cai Jian, "clang," he kicked over the bowl and water on the ground, stopping in front of Xia Chuchen.

Xia Chuchen certainly saw the knife he was holding, perhaps too weak to even muster the strength to lift his head.

Cai Jian stared at the video screen on the phone, his mouth dry, heart pounding even harder.

Thinking and doing are two separate matters.

Hearing about something and witnessing it are also two separate matters.

"Kid, bear with it, need to borrow something from your body for a bit."

The land snake fully displayed the professionalism required in this line of work, without any superfluous words. He squatted, grabbing Xia Chuchen's limp, powerless hand.

The chains clanged and rattled.

The land snake didn't blink, his expression cold and stern, one hand holding Xia Chuchen, the other raising the knife high.

"Swoosh..."

Knife up, knife down.

Clean and decisive.

Not an ounce of hesitation.

Watching the bloody scene, the chilly sensation shot up Cai Jian's spine, involuntarily holding his breath.

Xia Chuchen's face turned red, eyes wide open, blood vessels evident in his eyes, seemingly enduring immense pain, as if suddenly revived, regaining a bit of vitality in an instant, though still silent.

"Clatter."

The shocking sight of his hand was released, then fell from gravity, fingertips a bloody mess, shocking to behold.

Before this, a little finger had already detached from the hand, dropping onto the ground.

The land snake propped himself on his thighs, wiped the blood splattered on his face, then reached out to pick up the severed finger.

"Package it up."

He stood up, tossing it to Cai Jian.

Yet the startled Cai Jian dared not catch it, instinctively avoiding it in helplessness.

The severed finger flew over, dropping back onto the ground.

The land snake stared at him without a word.

"I, I'll pick it up."

Witnessing the atrocity for the first time, Cai Jian, left dazed, was compelled to turn and pick up that severed finger. Especially when seeing it so closely, dripping with blood, his heart nearly jumped to his throat, skin crawling.

Yet because the land snake was watching, he managed to complete the task, holding the phone in one hand, gingerly picking up the finger more carefully than if it were a chicken leg, turning slowly with a grin uglier than crying.

"Is the recording complete?"

The land snake asked, the knife in his hand still dripping with blood.

"Yes, yes."

The Serpent didn't spare Xia Chuchen lying on the ground another glance, casually pulling out a packet of tissues and wiping the knife, appearing experienced.

At this moment, Cai Jian, who had come to Myanmar to make a living, finally realized what kind of world he had truly joined.

The severed finger still retained its warmth, and at the same time, he felt the moisture of the liquid.

He stared intently.

It was the blood of a classmate, a friend, a brother.

Besides fear and palpitations, for some reason, a morbid excitement sprouted within him like a seed breaking through the soil.

After wiping it clean, the Serpent tossed the tissue away, sheathed the knife, and walked over.

Cai Jian hurriedly returned the phone.

After checking the recording, the Serpent nodded in satisfaction, as if he hadn't noticed the camera shake, and praised, "Not bad."

Cai Jian smiled stiffly.

"How do you feel?"

Cai Jian stammered, hesitating, but in the end, responded truthfully yet untruthfully, "A little nervous."

The corners of the Serpent's mouth twitched, "The first time, I was just like you. It's something you have to go through; you'll get used to it."

He patted Cai Jian's shoulder.

For such a long time, this might be the most affectionate moment from this uncle.

"Uncle, what about this finger?"

"Keep it for now. If the video isn't exciting enough, we can send the finger to his parents."

Cai Jian was struck dumb.

"Just wrap him up and let him breathe a little. As long as he's not dead. A corpse is worth much less than a living body."

Cai Jian was drenched in sweat, unable to speak, and could only nod quietly.

Indeed, a double benefit.

In some people's eyes, humans truly aren't human, perhaps even less than livestock.

Practical experience is always more educational than theory and more enlightening, thus allowing faster progress.

Cai Jian followed the Serpent out of the warehouse, wanting to look back as they left, but he didn't, leaving the unconscious Xia Chuchen behind.

No.

It can't be said as leaving him behind.

He had to get materials for binding and bleeding control.

He certainly wouldn't hold the severed finger ostentatiously in his hand, so Cai Jian tucked it into his pocket.

"Once this job is done, let's swap places."

Lost in thought, Cai Jian instinctively responded, "Where to?"

"Don't you like girls? I'll take you to Southern Yue first to have a look around. Don't complain later that your uncle didn't treat you well."

Hearing "women," Cai Jian's spirit instantly lifted, his chaotic thoughts scattering somewhat.

"Uncle, you're really good to me!"

"As long as you work hard, money, women, you'll lack nothing. In time, you'll see just how exciting this world really is."

Being afraid and fearful is human nature.

Greed is also human nature.

It's just about which weighs heavier.

Humans are the bearers of this balance.

And at this moment.

The obsession and yearning for desire undoubtedly overshadowed Cai Jian's inner weakness and the most primitive reverence for life.

"Uncle, I'll definitely work hard with you!"

His demeanor was like that of a long time ago when he was inducted into the Young Pioneers, taking an oath under the red flag.

An experienced person truly is different.

Easily leading a newcomer into the fold, as the uncle and nephew walked and chatted, finding more and more common ground, suddenly, a shout rang out.

"Cai Jian."

Cai Jian instinctively turned his head, curiosity blazing.

How could someone still know him here?

The truth was, it was still too soon, lacking experience. The Serpent's expression instantly changed, immediately reaching to draw his knife, because in the factory area, he hadn't brought a real weapon.

He didn't have one, but the other people did.

"Hands on your head, kneel, don't move."

Several stern men surrounded him from all directions.

Cai Jian, who had just been led onto a path to success, now found no way to escape, stunned.
