Chapter 146: Handling the Situation! A Fortune Beyond Expectations!
"Ah Qiang!"
"Uncle Qiang!!!"
Upon seeing the head, Lin Hong and his son exclaimed in unison!
Then, his gaze turned to the window in horror.
At that moment, a figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a silver mask stood at the window like the Grim Reaper.
Beneath the silver mask, a pair of cold eyes stared silently at the two people inside the room.
"Who—who are you?!"
Master Lin looked at the guards in the courtyard, who had all fallen to the ground at some unknown time.
His usually calm demeanor finally panicked.
Over the years, he has weathered countless storms, but never before has he felt so helpless and heartbroken.
It's a kind of instinctive fear that people feel when facing a life-or-death threat.
So, with his mind blank, he wasn't thinking about escaping; instead, he was trying to find out who the other person was.
Because he knew that this time, no one else in the Lin family could solve the problem.
"That's not important."
A hoarse, aged voice came from beneath the silver mask.
Then, the figure outside the house flashed and appeared inside, arriving a few meters away from Lin Hong and his son.
"You—you actually killed Uncle Qiang!"
As Lin Hong saw the other party approaching, he kept retreating until he was behind Lin Yuanwai, at which point he let out an incredulous roar.
That was a martial artist at the third level of the Blood Realm, the last reliance of the Lin family, and yet—yet he was killed so easily.
At that moment, Lin Hong suddenly felt that everything was over!
But who exactly is this person, and why did they kill Uncle Qiang?
Uncle Qiang went to kill Su Hao, didn't he? Why did things turn out like this?
Lin Hong was in a state of confusion.
"ridiculous--"
Hearing Lin Hong's roar, Su Hao's face behind the mask revealed a cold smile.
With a single step, his legwork exploded, and in the blink of an eye, he closed in on Master Lin and his companion.
"Hong'er, hurry!"
Lin Yuanwai’s pupils contracted. With his eyesight, he could almost feel that the other party had already approached in the blink of an eye!
This kind of strength was far beyond what an elderly merchant with only the Stone Skin Realm strength could withstand.
However, thinking of Lin Hong behind him, he still stepped forward and stood in front of the other party to buy him time to escape.
But his actions did not stop the other party in the slightest. He only felt a cold wind sweep across his neck, and the next moment his vision began to spin.
"Father!"
Lin Hong's eyes widened, the splattered blood staining his vision. As the headless corpse slowly fell before him, he went completely insane.
"I kill you!!!"
Lin Hong roared and charged out, raising his right hand to strike the approaching silver-masked man.
Before the palm print could land on the other person, a cold, iron-like hand struck him squarely in the chest, causing his chest to cave in completely, and he crashed heavily into the wall behind him.
Before he could fall to the ground, a large hand gripped his neck tightly and lifted him up.
"Why—why?"
Blood and foam mixed with fragments of internal organs spilled from the corner of Lin Hong's mouth. His eyes were fixed on the silver-masked man in front of him, and his voice was hoarse.
He couldn't understand why, when he could leave Yanshan City tonight, take revenge, and escape gracefully.
But suddenly, such a powerful martial artist appeared and completely wiped out the Lin family.
He now only hates himself for not being able to get rid of that beast Su Hao!
"Because—you brought this all on yourselves."
A somewhat familiar voice came from beneath the mask.
Upon hearing this sound, Lin Hong's eyes slowly widened.
He stared intently at the silver-masked man whose only visible feature was a pair of cold eyes, and the outline of a face in his mind seemed to be overlapping with the masked man in front of him.
"It's...it's you!? How could you possibly be!?"
Lin Hong struggled and trembled violently. He couldn't understand why the other party was still alive until his death.
How could he possibly kill Uncle Qiang, a martial artist at the third level of the Blood Realm?
Didn't he just break through to the Iron Skin Realm recently? Why?
Click!
However, the countless questions in his mind were abruptly cut off by the cracking sound coming from his neck.
Lin Hong's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief, horror, and fear. His head slowly tilted to the side, the light in his eyes quickly faded, and he fell silent.
Pfft!
Su Hao casually tossed Lin Hong's body aside, then strode to a table inside the room.
Above the table was an exquisite black and gold wooden box, clearly of considerable value.
Su Hao opened the wooden box, his pupils widening slightly. He quickly closed it, rolled it up in a cloth bag, knocked over the candlestick on the table, and took two steps before transforming into a black shadow and leaving the room.
Outside the dark courtyard walls, Su Hao leaped several times and arrived at a deserted wall.
Seeing the Lin family mansion in the distance gradually engulfed in flames, he didn't linger any longer and turned to jump off the wall.
By the time they got back to their lodgings, it was already past midnight.
Su Hao locked the courtyard gate, returned to the house, lit the oil lamp, and began to take out the wooden box, his eyes burning with desire.
He opened the wooden box and looked at the large, bright yellow object inside, which emitted a dazzling yellow light under the oil lamp. He was overjoyed.
gold!
The box was full of gold, and it was all in long strips!
In addition, there are many jade and jewelry pieces, as well as stacks of gold notes at the bottom!
"We're rich now!"
Looking at the large box of gold and jewelry, even someone as composed as Su Hao couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
So much gold and jewelry, plus gold notes in denominations of five hundred and one thousand—
There are at least tens of thousands of taels of gold here!
The Lin family is truly rolling in money!
"Looks like I went at just the right time—"
Su Hao closed the box, thinking that the Lin family seemed to be planning to run away with their belongings tonight.
He couldn't help but sneer.
No wonder Lin Hongqiang dared to openly go to the blacksmith's shop; he was going to cripple him.
It turns out they were already planning to run away tonight.
So they wanted to take advantage of Liu Shi's absence to get revenge as soon as possible, even if Liu Shi returned later, they would no longer be in Yanshan City.
Little did they know that this very decision would plunge them into an abyss.
If these people leave quietly without alerting anyone, Su Hao will not cause them any trouble.
After all, he had already punished Lin Hong for what happened last time, which could be considered as teaching the other party a lesson.
However, now that the other party is courting death and wants to get rid of him before leaving Yanshan City, then he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
"With this sum of money, I should be able to cultivate the other two martial arts to the third level of the Dao Blood realm, and also attempt to break through to the Bone Forging Realm with the Crimson Blood Palm. I wonder if that will be possible—"
Su Hao was making plans in his mind at this moment.
Next, how should this money be planned?
