Chapter 32: I Will Go and Retrieve the Wager

Yu Xiaohai was still unconscious, but his condition had stabilized significantly. The girl who had been rescued was trying to take care of him.

Chu Yunsheng waited for the other party's response. He was already impatient. The ancient book was the most precious treasure to him. As long as there was something related to the ancient book, he would do anything to get it.

Miss Zhao had a very beautiful face, exuding a scholarly aura, but her figure was wrapped in a thick coat, making it impossible to guess.

Chu Yunsheng's request seemed to have put the other party in a difficult position. Two minutes had passed, and there was still no response.

He became somewhat dissatisfied. They had agreed on this, and if the other party was going to renege now, it looked like he would have to take it by force!

With this thought, Chu Yunsheng didn't hesitate. Before anyone could react, he pressed the Qianbi Sword against Miss Zhao's white neck and reached out to grab the pendant inside her clothes!

"Stop!" The first to jump up was Captain Gu Liming, pointing his gun directly at Chu Yunsheng.

"What do you want!?" Miss Zhao's father wanted to step forward but was afraid Chu Yunsheng would hurt his daughter. He roared in anger.

Chu Yunsheng sneered, "What do I want? To take what belongs to me. You bunch of trash, you don't keep your word, so I'll do it myself!"

At this moment, Miss Zhao remained very calm. She tightly held Chu Yunsheng's left hand, which was trying to undo her blouse, and said coldly, "Since I promised you, I will do it. But not here. Let's go downstairs, and you can do whatever you want!"

Chu Yunsheng hadn't reacted yet and said, "No need for that trouble, let's just do it here!"

Hearing this, Miss Zhao's face turned pale, and her lips trembled in anger, but she couldn't speak.

"Beast!" Professor Sun cursed, the old man, regardless of his age, raised his cane to strike Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng, in a hurry, forgot that the other party was an old man and kicked him. The poor old man was no match for him. If the soldiers behind hadn't caught him, his bones would have been broken.

Seeing the intense reactions of these people, Chu Yunsheng suddenly understood. This woman really thought he was going to rape her. This made him both laugh and cry. He could only blame himself for not being clear enough, and of course, blame Gu Liming for always interrupting him.

Chu Yunsheng was not a particularly vicious person. If there was a misunderstanding, he could explain it. However, in his haste, Gu Liming pointed his gun over Chu Yunsheng's shoulder and aimed it at the head of the girl who had been rescued, scaring her into stammering, "I, I, ..."

Gu Liming looked at Chu Yunsheng and shouted, "Let go of Miss Zhao, or I'll shoot!"

Chu Yunsheng laughed, "Go ahead, I don't know that girl, whatever!"

Gu Liming was taken aback. Chu Yunsheng didn't even look at him. His heart moved, and he shifted the gun to Yu Xiaohai's head and said, "What about him?"

Chu Yunsheng still didn't turn around and warned him, "You can try. If you touch a single hair on him, I'll kill all of you. Also, let me remind you, your bullets won't even scratch him!"

Hearing this, Gu Liming's gun trembled. He didn't know if the bullets would hit the person on the ground, but he believed Chu Yunsheng had the ability to kill them all.

At this moment, Miss Zhao's father stepped forward and tried to mediate, "Captain Gu, don't be impulsive. I think we can all calm down and talk. At this time, we shouldn't be killing each other, young man, don't you agree?"

Chu Yunsheng originally wanted to explain that he only wanted the pendant, not the woman. But with Gu Liming's interference, his anger flared up. How dare they threaten him? If they thought he was going to rape the woman, then he would do it!

He raised his voice and said, "There's nothing to talk about. We agreed on this. After I'm done with her, I'll let you all go!"

"You!" Miss Zhao's father was speechless.

Miss Zhao suddenly let go of Chu Yunsheng's hand, quickly took a grenade from her pocket, pulled the pin, and looked at Chu Yunsheng coldly, saying, "If you insist on doing this here, I'd rather die with you!"

Chu Yunsheng was stunned. He didn't expect the woman to have such a powerful weapon. He wasn't afraid of it, but if it destroyed the pendant, he would regret it bitterly.

Thinking about this, he calmed down. His main goal was to get the pendant undamaged, not to do other nonsense. Besides, he was just angry at the moment. If he really had to force himself on the woman, it was unlikely, given the cold and hateful look in her eyes.

Improving his strength was the top priority. The ancient book was the source of his power. So, at any time, he felt the ancient book was the most important thing, the only thing that kept him alive!

Chu Yunsheng let her go and even put away his sword. In one swift move, he kicked Gu Liming, who was next to Yu Xiaohai, and said coldly, "Miss Zhao, leave the pendant around your neck, and then you can all go. Oh, by the way, one day, I'll come to you to retrieve my wager!"

"Pendant?" The situation changed so quickly that Miss Zhao almost didn't react.

Chu Yunsheng's heart tightened, and he said fiercely, "This is my last line. If you don't leave the pendant, you will all die here, not a single one will be left!"

No one dared to doubt his threat. Chu Yunsheng had just killed three red-armored bugs downstairs with little effort, though they didn't know he had consumed three units of essence.

Miss Zhao hesitated for a moment but still took out the pendant, undid it, and placed it in her palm. She bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, and said, "This is a memento from my mother after she passed away. I hope you..."

Chu Yunsheng clearly felt the ancient book's pulse. He carefully took it and waved his hand, saying, "You can go now!"

Everyone looked at each other but didn't dare to say much. Only Professor Sun, who had been kicked by Chu Yunsheng, couldn't resist his scientific curiosity and looked at Chu Yunsheng's armor with a burning gaze, saying dryly, "Young man, can I study your armor?"

Chu Yunsheng was eager for these people to leave so he could take out the ancient book and study what had happened. He had no time to deal with this old man who had once cursed him. Impatiently, he said, "Go, go, go, all of you, hurry up and leave!"

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper again, Miss Zhao's father was really worried and quickly pulled Professor Sun, not daring to stay, and they all left the rooftop.

Chu Yunsheng saw that a girl was still sitting there and frowned, "Why aren't you leaving?"

The girl stammered, "I, I'm not with them."

Chu Yunsheng didn't want anyone else to know about the ancient book. After thinking for a moment, he pulled her up and pointed to the stairwell, saying, "I know. No matter what, it's time for you to leave now!"

The girl looked at him in panic, wanting to plead but not daring to. She slowly and reluctantly walked down the stairs.

Now, except for the half-dead Yu Xiaohai, everyone else had left. Chu Yunsheng put out the fire, checked on Yu Xiaohai, and seeing that he wasn't dead yet but couldn't help him, he gave up.

He cleaned his armor, found a clean spot to sit, and was about to take out the ancient book and the pendant to study them.

However, the sound from the stairwell grew louder. Chu Yunsheng cursed inwardly, these bastards are coming back up!

But he soon understood why they were coming back. On the street below, more than five red-armored bugs were chasing a minivan. The van crashed into a wall, and the bugs swarmed it. Soon, heart-wrenching screams and the smell of blood filled the air!
