"Okay, thank you for the message. The money has been transferred to your account."
"Thank you, Miss Zhou!"
Outside a hospital ward, a woman dressed in office attire put down her phone, knocked on the door, and said softly:
"Young Miss, it's me. There's news about that person."
After hearing a "Come in," Ms. Zhou quietly entered, closed the door, and stood respectfully behind a woman sitting beside a hospital bed, saying:
"After learning that the plane was under maintenance, that person bought a ticket to Shanghai."
"Shanghai? What's he going there for?"
The woman picked up an apple and asked as she peeled it.
"I don't know. According to the investigation, their family has no influence in Shanghai and no relatives or friends there."
"Then investigate! How dare he injure my brother Xu, and so badly at that. I can't do it openly, but can't I do it secretly? Also, send people to the underworld to offer a bounty. Whoever captures him alive will be richly rewarded!"
“But Miss, the Wang family has been keeping an eye on us lately because of what happened last time, and now they’re doing this—”
Miss Zhou wanted to try and persuade her young mistress, who had been severely injured because of someone she liked, but she only heard an impatient remark from the young mistress—
"Do as I say! That good-for-nothing from the Wang family still wants to pursue me. He should have seen his ugly face. He was knocked down by my brother Xu with a few punches."
Miss Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself upon hearing her mistress's words.
The young master of the Wang family is indeed a handsome and talented man. Didn't you see that his father handed over the business to him? However, God is fair. He gave him a brilliant mind and a handsome appearance, but not any extraordinary talents.
From a young age, he was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was also quite adept at business. However, his talent in martial arts, magic, and other fields was exceptionally poor, unless he changed his race. Even the gene-enhancing fluid developed by countries around the world was poorly absorbed by his body, making him, in a sense, truly a useless person.
Last time, he pursued his young mistress, but was directly rejected by her, who already had someone she loved. Not only was she rejected, but she also mocked the young master of the Wang family, directly hitting his weak spot. It would be strange if he wasn't angry.
The young master of the Wang family only wanted to express his anger and did not actually make a move. However, Captain Xu saw this scene as soon as he arrived and thought that he wanted to bully the young lady. He rushed over and punched him a few times, which made the matter escalate. It was only after the master personally intervened and talked to the Wang family that the matter was resolved.
If we go straight to the underworld to offer a bounty now while things are still hot, it will be even more troublesome if the Wang family catches us.
But what else could she say? She was just an ordinary subordinate, and all she had to do was obediently follow the instructions of her superiors.
"Yes, Miss, I will be as careful as possible."
Meanwhile, in the distance at the Wang family mansion, the young master of the Wang family opened his eyes, his eyes full of smiles.
"Ha, looks like those punches weren't for nothing. I have to thank the Zhang family bitch. Now the whole world thinks I'm a good-for-nothing. But those punches still hurt a lot. If you want to put a bounty on me in the underworld, now I have your leverage. Uncle Wang, could you please go and investigate someone? Remember to do it discreetly, especially the Zhang family."
"Yes, young master, is it a full investigation?"
"No, no, no, it's about investigating him as an ally. Remember not to mess with him, and you'll need to lend a hand if necessary. Someone who kicked that Xu guy away is definitely not a simple character. And what do you think someone like that would do if they heard someone had a bounty on their head in the underworld?"
What else can we do? Of course, we'll retaliate fiercely!
"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."
Uncle Wang nodded respectfully and withdrew.

I have a feeling this is going to turn into a web novel. Do you guys think we should skip these things?
Chapter 216 Someone actually put a bounty on my head?
(Since none of you want to skip that part, then let's not skip it.)
(By the way, today really is my lucky day. I did a 10-pull in FGO this morning and got a Lancer-class Tamamo-no-Mae and a swimsuit Mordred. Then I got a supply card from the Armada in Honkai Impact 3, and then I did a single pull—ahaha, Divine Prayer! It's a pity the supply for the Divine Prayer set is over, otherwise I could have used my 10,000+ crystals.)
(Wow, come and worship this lucky king!)

"You mortal insects, why can't you just die obediently? Ants should have the self-awareness of ants!"
Chang Yan remained expressionless, extending a finger and pressing it against the mirror in front of him. In the mirror, a woman with a terrified expression trembled violently; she was clearly horrified, but she was unable to move.
How dare a psychic, who doesn't know his own limitations, curse me? And he even has accomplices?
It seems I need to show you what a real curse is!
"—"
A shadow appeared around Chang Yan, and eyeballs popped out one by one from the shadow, looking at Chang Yan with fawning eyes.
As the saying goes, he reached out and plucked an eye, dripped a drop of his own blood, and accompanied by mysterious and unknown incantations, the eyeball underwent a strange change.
Using my blood as the source of the curse, I imagine the power must be incredible.
Raise your hand, and it pops out—
The eyeball transcended the barriers of space, and in its gaze, it saw the figures of the psychic woman and her accomplices.
—I see you!
Suddenly, the eyeball disappeared, the mirror shattered, and the woman vanished.
"Haa, haa, haa... What kind of monster is this?! Quick, let's go, get out of here, we need to leave this city... Su Hongsheng, what are you doing? Why aren't you packing up and leaving?"
"I know, I know, but don't you find it strange?"
"I know it's strange that the monster didn't kill us, but we don't have time to waste. If it's a curse, we need to hurry to the church to find a priest for baptism and purification!"
The psychic woman was very impatient. Just as she was about to pack her things, she heard her companion stammer:
"Do you...feel...itchy...all over your body?"
"Huh? You again—Aaaaaaaah!"
The woman had barely turned around when she let out a terrified scream.
His companion, Su Hongsheng, had "grown" countless eyeballs on his body—
Some eyeballs fall to the ground due to crowding and the presence of "newcomers," but these eyeballs are alive!
Numbness, innocence, relaxation, despair, surprise, fear, determination, courage, jealousy, greed, hunger, arrogance, anger, sloth, lust, murderous intent, calmness, comicality, madness, disgust, pain, inferiority complex, exhaustion, joy, vigilance, emptiness, pleading, sarcasm, curiosity, fanaticism—
—They are alive! Because they are looking at me with those eyes!
"Help...me..."
Su Hongsheng could no longer speak, because countless eyeballs kept growing from his mouth and falling to the ground with a gurgling sound.
—No, this isn't true!
Seeing her companion transformed into an eyeball monster, the psychic woman seemed unable to bear the sight and screamed as she ran away.
After she hysterically slammed the door shut, her tense nerves relaxed instantly, almost causing her to faint.
Hmm, why do I feel a little itchy?
As she looked down to examine her body, she saw a pair of innocent eyes staring wide at her.
------
This is the third wave of people attacking them.
Is someone targeting me?
Why are there so many fools in the world?
How wonderful the world would be if everyone in the world were like me.
Thinking of this, Chang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
He had viewed the memories of those attackers and discovered that they had all accepted commissions from the mortal world to capture him alive. They didn't know who had issued the commissions, only that the bounty for completing the mission was very high!
Six million dollars!
When Chang Yan learned that he was the one who was paid that price, he became even angrier.
What?! I'm only worth six million dollars?! Are you out of your mind?!
"Sir, I believe I can help you."
A well-dressed middle-aged man walked over, followed by several men in black suits who were clearly bodyguards.
"Oh? Then tell me why I sighed?"
"It's simple, you're probably wondering which idiot dared to offer a bounty on your head, right?"
The uncle smiled slightly and spoke.
"So, since you called that person an idiot, can I assume that you and that person have a very unfriendly relationship?"
"of course."
"So, you want to use me to get rid of that guy?"
"Haha, I can't make that decision. Your Excellency, my young master invites you."
The uncle smiled, extended his hand, and made a "please" gesture.
------
"Oh, I see. It's that weak woman. So, what do you want me to do, Young Master Wang?"
Sitting opposite Chang Yan was none other than the "good-for-nothing" Young Master Wang.
"Haha, of course, you can do whatever you want, Mr. Changyan. Of course, it would be even better if those two could be together in hell. To be honest, that Xu guy has offended a lot of big shots. If it weren't for Director Ying and his mentor's efforts to protect him, he would have been buried alive long ago. As long as you take action, Mr. Changyan, they will all be your help."
"Even if I just storm in at night?"
They couldn't just barge in during the day and ignore it. Chang Yan wasn't stupid, so he asked about it at night.
The night is filled with sin.
"If we're only talking about the hospital they're currently in, your previous performance has already demonstrated your value to us. We always try our best to win over strong individuals."
Young Master Wang's answer already signifies his tacit agreement.
Such a young and powerful superhuman is worth courting by high-ranking officials and nobles.
If that guy surnamed Xu hadn't offended so many people, those people above wouldn't have done this.
Moreover, the people who attacked Chang Yan before were all well-known figures in the underworld.
As a result, they didn't even manage to tear a hole in their clothes, let alone their injuries.
Okay, you're strong and awesome.
"Hehe, that's good. By the way, I'm actually proficient in many strange and unorthodox techniques. If there's anything you want me to do, just let me know. Of course, there will be a fee."

Chapter 217 Introduction to the Auction
(Okay, I guess I used up all my luck yesterday, my luck is particularly weird today.)
(I went to pull for Nohime from the Focused Supply B in Honkai Impact 3, and I got Zorro Bottom and Blood Saint, which are the featured equipment from Focused Supply A...)
------
"Okay, then I'll head out now. I have things to do tonight."
"Until we meet again, Mr. Chang Yan."
Young Master Wang smiled as he saw Enteritis off.
"Until we meet again, Young Master Wang."
Chang Yan also smiled appropriately and left, heading towards a five-star hotel.
A born loser?
That's hilarious. Who would have such a large mass of spiritual energy in their body? That would be almost at the Foundation Establishment stage for cultivators.
Chang Yan is quite confident in his eyesight and perception.
After waiting for nightfall, Chang Yan went out.
He plans to attend the auction tonight to broaden his horizons, and then tomorrow he'll go—
