"Kill him!" Chen Jie said lightly.
Poison Dragon's expression changed.
He never expected Chen Jie to be so decisive.
When he had casually asked Chen Jie if he wanted the man killed, it was just a whim. He thought Chen Jie was just an ordinary person, and with the Zhou family almost wiped out, he didn't think Chen Wei would have any intention of killing.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Knowing there was no hope of survival, Zhou Wei stopped begging for mercy and instead charged madly at Chen Jie.
Poison Dragon made a quick decision. He directly pulled a knife from his subordinate's waist and stabbed it into Zhou Wei's stomach.
With a *plop*.
Great terror flashed across Zhou Wei's face.
In that instant, he thought of his father sacrificing his life to save his own. Yet, in just a few days, he had squandered his own life.
Regret!
Pain!
Unwillingness!
All sorts of emotions surged in his heart.
If heaven gave him another chance, he would never choose to oppose Chen Jie again.
Why not find a secluded place, live a peaceful life, and continue the Zhou family line?
Why did he have to listen to Ye Fan's suggestion and cause trouble for Chen Jie?
"Ahhh!" Yin Manman let out a piercing scream.
Poison Dragon pulled out the knife and smiled at Chen Jie, "Young Master Chen, let's go."
Chen Jie glanced at Poison Dragon playfully.
Poison Dragon's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if Chen Jie had seen through it. It was unlikely; no one could see through his technique.
He had indeed stabbed Zhou Wei, but having been in the underworld for so many years and killed so many people, he knew how to slightly alter the blade's angle to ensure the person survived.
He did this because he didn't want to do Chen Jie's bidding.
"Let's go," Chen Jie said, not exposing him.
"Chen Jie, give me another chance, let me be your girlfriend! I know where Zhou Wei hid the rest of the Zhou family's assets, and I can help you get them."
Suddenly, Yin Manman grabbed Chen Jie's leg and begged.
"Scram!" Chen Jie unceremoniously kicked Yin Manman away.
Without even looking at her, he got into Zhou Wei's car.
Half an hour later, Poison Dragon led Chen Jie to a villa at the foot of West Mountain.
Chen Jie immediately took a liking to the villa.
Not only did it look magnificent, but it was also situated at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by a dense concentration of spiritual energy.
Compared to where the Wang family resided, this was heaven and earth.
It was enough for him to cultivate for half a month.
"Young Master Chen, this is the villa I told you about," Poison Dragon said politely to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded, "Not bad, I'm very satisfied. How much is it? I'll buy it."
Poison Dragon smiled, "What money? If Young Master Chen likes it, I'll give it to you directly."
Sensing Poison Dragon's sincerity, Chen Jie didn't hesitate. "Tell me, how much?"
Seeing that Chen Jie was unmoved, Poison Dragon had to say, "This villa cost me thirty million to build, and I originally planned to use it for my retirement. If Young Master Chen likes it, just give me a few million."
Chen Jie frowned.
Thirty million?
It wasn't much, considering that this was just the construction cost. If it were normally sold, with this kind of cost, the profit would be at least a hundred million.
He indeed didn't have that much money on him right now.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Jie said, "I'll give you ten million, and in return, I'll completely heal your body. Consider it a transaction between us."
Poison Dragon's face lit up with joy, "Thank you so much, Young Master Chen!"
Chen Jie nodded, "Come into the courtyard and find a place to sit."
The two then entered the courtyard, and Poison Dragon found a spot to sit.
Chen Jie, on the other hand, raised his hand and tapped on Poison Dragon's body several times, while also casting a healing spell on him.
Poison Dragon felt that his body had not only completely recovered but was also stronger and more energetic than before.
Poison Dragon was overjoyed, wishing he could immediately find ten women to test it out.
After a long while, he suppressed his inner excitement, and his mind began to stir again.
Now that his illness was completely cured, he was no longer at Chen Jie's mercy.
Thinking of how Chen Jie had forced him to kneel in public before, a murderous intent surged within him.
He glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Young Master Chen, I heard that the Zhou family's ancestor crippled your cultivation. Is that true or not?"
Chen Jie looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Poison Dragon suddenly laughed and flattered Chen Jie, "Even if your cultivation is crippled, with your medical skills, you can still walk sideways in Pingcheng. Many injured martial artists in Pingcheng will surely come to fawn over you if they know about your medical expertise."
"I was indeed crippled, and now I have no internal energy, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. Poison Dragon, I need some ancient jade to recover my strength. Do you have any?" Chen Jie asked.
Poison Dragon chuckled, "Young Master Chen, I don't have any of that ancient jade. However, some auction houses have it. If you really need it, you can buy it at an auction."
Chen Jie sighed, "It's a pity. I don't have money to go to auctions right now. How about we make another deal?"
"What deal?" Poison Dragon asked, confused.
Chen Jie took out the spiritual artifact jade pendant he had on him and said to Poison Dragon, "This jade pendant of mine is no ordinary jade. It's a defensive spiritual artifact that I made! It can save your life when you're in mortal danger. I'll sell it to you cheaply, for ten million, how about it?"
Poison Dragon took it in his hand, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, imperceptible.
He could tell at a glance that the jade was worth less than a hundred thousand at most.
Yet, Chen Jie wanted to sell it to him for ten million.
However, he didn't expose it, and instead said with a smile, "Alright, I'll take this jade. You don't need to give me that ten million, consider it my payment for this... defensive spiritual artifact."
"Well, if there's nothing else, you can leave," Chen Jie said lightly.
Seeing the rich spiritual energy here, he couldn't wait to cultivate.
"Then we'll take our leave!"
Poison Dragon gestured to his subordinates and walked out.
The main reason Chen Jie gave the defensive spiritual artifact to Poison Dragon and made a deal with him was not the primary objective.
In his opinion, that defensive spiritual artifact was far more valuable than ten million to Poison Dragon, and he wasn't taking advantage of him at all.
Imagine a person wearing a defensive spiritual artifact that could save their life at a critical moment. Any wealthy person would probably scramble to buy it.
After all, it was equivalent to a second life, and no amount of money would be too much to pay for it.
Of course, that defensive spiritual artifact could only be effective for about fifteen days. After fifteen days, it would turn into an ordinary jade pendant.
With this flaw, the defensive spiritual artifact was not worth ten million at all.
After all, no one would be willing to spend ten million every half a month just for protection.
Chen Jie believed that his defensive spiritual artifact was worth more than ten million to Poison Dragon because Chen Jie had already seen that Poison Dragon's complexion was dark, indicating imminent disaster.
Chen Jie had another purpose. Besides the ten million, he had no other wealth on him. The gold mines he had accumulated over the years had also been taken away by his master.
If such defensive spiritual artifacts could be sold and open up the Pingcheng market, it might be a good choice.
