Chapter 299 Su Ping in Violent Rage Sun Qiu was taken aback. He shouted in panic, “Sir, you said it was water under the bridge. I have already apologized to you. I got careless and hurt my pet by accident. “I had no other option, so I thought of coming here to demand compensation. I’m grateful that you’ve healed my pet. If you’re asking me for the medical fee, I’ll go back, raise some money, and get back to you right away!” “You insist on not telling me the truth, right?” Su Ping chuckled. In the old days, he would have considered the authenticity of this claim. But things were different at the moment. Sun Qiu had just shown up to blackmail him and get some money? It sounded reasonable. Still, the Inferno Dragon had been guarding outside the store and he was competing against Primo. Even a fool would have known that Su Ping’s store had powerful connections and could not be offended. No one would have dared to blackmail him. Even if he were in the wrong and messed up a pet during training, people would have to think twice before they went there to blame him, as he would certainly not admit his wrongdoing. “Are there methods of interrogation used by the Tang Family?” Su Ping asked Tang Ruyan who was standing by him. Tang Ruyan raised her eyebrows. She took one look at this Sun Qiu and answered calmly, “Of course. We can make a dead guy talk. Do you want me to take over?” “Sure. He’s all yours. Take him to the scroll.” Su Ping smiled. “No problem,” Tang Ruyan said. She was bored out of her skull. She couldn’t wait to try something on this guy. Finally, she would be able to vent her frustration on someone. Fear rose in Sun Qiu’s eyes as Su Ping and Tang Ruyan exchanged ideas, as if he weren’t there. “Are you thinking about murdering me in broad daylight? I’ve told you the truth. Why won’t you believe me?” Sun Qiu could not help but argue. “Not all money can be made easily.” Su Ping turned to him. “I think you may have forgotten the fact that titled battle pet warriors can determine life and death. I may want to kill you here. So what?” Sun Qiu was scared stiff. He remembered when that mass of energy confined him in midair. Cold sweat coursed down his body. It was true. The titled battle pet warrior could kill him without having to face any consequences. He said words that displeased a titled battle pet warrior and that was enough to put him to death! “You have three seconds to decide.” Su Ping put up one finger. Sun Qiu’s legs shivered. As Su Ping put up the second finger, Sun Qiu’s internal struggle intensified. By the time Su Ping put up his third finger, Sun Qiu could no longer handle the pressure. “I will tell you everything...” He sounded so feeble as if he were going to collapse. Tang Ruyan was rubbing her fingers, ready to interrogate Sun Qiu. Hearing his words, she pouted. What a weak man! How could he come clean so quickly? I haven’t tried anything on him yet! “Talk!” Su Ping shouted all of a sudden. This sudden shout stressed out Sun Qiu who had just relaxed his nerves a bit again. Sun Qiu gulped. He could see the killing intent in Su Ping’s eyes. With a trembling voice, Sun Qiu started. “Yes, the Liu family sent me here. You’re competing against Primo, which belongs to them. You have also disrupted their business and they want you to go bankrupt and close your store!” Su Ping raised his eyebrows. It was indeed the Liu family! Su Ping didn’t buy all of Sun Qiu’s words at once. “Tell me the entire plan.” He pushed Sun Qiu. Sun Qiu hesitated a moment but eventually decided to spill out everything in front of Su Ping. It turned out that not long after he booked Su Ping’s service, the Liu family had sent someone to him and promised him that they would offer him a large sum of money after he finished the plan of making a false accusation against Su Ping’s store and tarnishing his reputation. Naturally, the Liu family was the reason that the Aurora Fox got sick. They injected the Aurora Fox with a fierce toxin which greatly compromised the Aurora Fox’s combat strength. Without timely treatment, the Aurora Fox would gradually decay and die. As compensation, the Liu family had claimed that they would give Sun Qiu a more powerful pet with a better bloodline. Sun Qiu fell for all the tempting terms and that was how it all happened. Su Ping fell into deep thought. A moment later, he posed another question. “What is the name of the man that came to you?” Sun Qiu shook his head. “I don’t know. He was wearing a mask. I didn’t even see his face.” Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Tang Ruyan was still rubbing her fingers. “I have a reasonable belief that he is lying. How about I use some torture measures on him first?” Su Ping just replied to her with a sideways glance. At the same time, Joanna stepped over and made another proposal, “If you’re interested in the truth, I can use Hellish Soul to grill his soul directly and dig out his memory. You will know everything.” Su Ping was interested. She could search his soul? “Are there any side-effects?” “Dementia, if mild and sudden death if the effect is too strong. And there’s a possibility that it could backfire on me. But, given the fact that he’s is such a puny human being, no way that searching his soul can backfire on me.” Joanna sounded calm. Su Ping was relieved. But he didn’t know that Joanna would help him out voluntarily. “Then you can have it. Be careful.” Joanna merely said “hum”. The fact that she would offer to help was because she had obtained the 20 points. She had realized that her life was tied with Su Ping and with the benefits of the store. Anything she did for the benefit of the store would be for her benefit as well. Besides, once she gathered points, she would be rated as an outstanding employee and she could ask to go to any worlds, including the Archean Divinity, the place she was dying to visit. She wanted to see if voluntary help would gain her more points. Even if it could not, at the very least, Su Ping would not deduct her points. “What do you think you are doing?” As Joanna went closer, Sun Qiu became nervous. He remembered very well how this girl had cured the Aurora Fox and therefore, was dreadful of her. Squeak! All of a sudden, a white blur jumped out and threw itself in front of Sun Qiu. It was the Aurora Fox. It stood on the ground and arched its back, combat-ready. It showed its teeth to Joanna. Its hostility to Joanna was obvious. Joanna and Tang Ruyan were stunned still. Neither of them expected that the Aurora Fox would come forward at this moment. It came as a surprise to Su Ping as well. He looked even more awful and furious. Squeak, squeak! The Aurora Fox cried out at Joanna, threatening her not to come close. The Aurora Fox knew that the girl just saved its life and yet at this very moment, it could tell that the girl was a threat to its master. It could feel its master’s fear and hear his summoning. It would always be there when its master needed it. Because its master meant the world to it! After Joanna came back to her senses, she frowned and dashed away. In an instant, she had approached the Aurora Fox. She placed a seal made up of divine energy on the Aurora Fox’s forehead. The Aurora Fox was about to struggle when fatigue came over and it fell asleep. Sun Qiu was freaked after seeing that Joanna could teleport. He was more terrified than ever. He was not a powerful battle pet warrior but he had common sense. “Flying” was a unique ability for titled battle pet warriors. As for “teleporting”... that was a power mastered by legendary battle pet warriors! Some pets could learn to teleport, but for pets, this was mentioned as a secret skill! He had never heard of any human being, other than legendary battle pet warriors, who could master this skill! Pa! Abruptly, Su Ping, who had been sitting on the couch, moved closer to Sun Qiu who was still in astonishment, and then slapped the latter on his face. The slap had left a clear mark on Sun Qiu’s face and blood was oozing out from his mouth. “For you, you can have many pets. “But for your pets, you are the world for them. “You betrayed your Aurora Fox and it still is willing to fight for you. You can do as many dirty deeds as you like but the one thing you should never do is to betray your closest friend!” Su Ping was angrier than ever. He had taken care of many pets and he had his own pets as well. Having fought so many battles, he was well aware of how committed pets were to their masters. Pets were not tools, but partners, friends, and families when they were willing to sacrifice anything for their masters, even their lives! Su Ping’s display of fury astounded Tang Ruyan. She quieted down and made no more jokes. Joanna darted a look at Su Ping but said nothing. She put down the Aurora Fox and then grabbed Sun Qiu’s arms. Divine energy converged on her fingertips as she gently pressed her fingers on his forehead. A long while later. The divine energy receded, and the golden glow around Joanna died down. She let go of him. Sun Qiu appeared to be lifeless and dull-looking, as if he were in a coma. Joanna turned to Su Ping. “I will pass the memory to you.” “Pass?” Su Ping was still wondering when a memory clip suddenly came into his mind. He saw Sun Qiu and someone else. Soon, he saw when Sun Qiu and a middle-aged man were talking. “That is... someone from the Zhou family!” During their discussion, unlike what Sun Qiu said, the other man exposed his face. He identified himself as well. He was from the Zhou family, not the Liu family! The Zhou Family had put Sun Qiu up to this. The man had told him to claim that it was the Liu Family who was ordering him! Su Ping pulled a long face. Not having finished the Liu family yet, the Zhou Family got involved as well. If it weren’t for Joanna, he would have gone after the wrong party. “Stay here. I’ll have to go out.” Su Ping took a deep breath. Joanna asked, “Where to?” “This hatred is not unwarranted. I will go and settle the matter today,” Su Ping answered. Tang Ruyan realized that something bad was going to happen. She could not help but warn him, “Are you going to find who was behind this? That must be someone from a major family in your base city, right? Isn’t it too dangerous for you to go alone?” “Since when do you care about my safety?” Su Ping turned to Tang Ruyan. Tang Ruyan blushed. “I’m not caring about your safety. I am just afraid that when you die, I’ll have to stay in the scroll and no one will be able to find me!” Su Ping snorted but said nothing else. He called out the Little Skeleton from the nursing pen and told Tang Ruyan to get back inside the scroll. “What about him?” Joanna pointed at Sun Qiu. Su Ping darted one look and slapped Sun Qiu. Bang! The tremendous force came over Sun Qiu and due to the strong impact, Sun Qiu’s milky-eyes popped out from his head. Then... His head and body burst open at the same time! Su Ping had killed him with one slap! Blood was spilled everywhere. Joanna’s shield helped her repel the blood. “System, I’ll trust that you’ll clean my store up.” Su Ping coldly gazed at the dead body and the spilled blood. A man like this did not deserve to have pets. Since the system was unwilling to cut off the tie between this man and his pet, then, Su Ping was more than glad to solve it on his own! This was his method! As he died, any ties would be gone as well. The Aurora Fox no longer had a master. This violent act had stunned Tang Ruyan. She looked at Su Ping for a second and then went back to the scroll without further complaints. Su Ping stored away the scroll. The Little Skeleton had run back to him. Su Ping placed it back in the contract space. “Take care of the store. I’ll be back shortly,” Su Ping said again before he left.
