As the sunset slowly descended on the horizon, Ye Qiu walked out of the training hall.
This kind of high-intensity training can keep him at peak condition at all times, but he also needed to maintain a good mindset. Blind training can only lead to mental collapse.
Ye Qiu is quite experienced in this regard; he knows how to handle it effectively.
Thus, after a whole day of intense training, he would choose to go out for a walk to relax his mind, and by the way, also look around for any news about the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps or Blood Cross.
"Oh dear..."
Just as Ye Qiu was walking on the road, a seventy-something elderly man fell to the ground ahead, appearing to be in great pain.
Ye Qiu, being a young man with correct values, naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing upon witnessing this. He rushed over without hesitation to support the elderly man, "Are you okay?"
"Okay? How could I be okay! It hurts so much, ooh ooh, it's killing me!" the elderly man suddenly shouted loudly.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu frowned, immediately sensing that something wasn't quite right.
"Help, help, someone hit me, oh, how careless and irresponsible these young people are nowadays, pity my old bones..." While speaking, the elderly man's hands were tightly clutching Ye Qiu's arms, seemingly afraid he would run away.
Even if Ye Qiu was unclear about the situation, he understood it now.
Extortion?
I actually encountered someone trying to extort me!
This left Ye Qiu speechless; he must have not checked the almanac before going out today, to stumble upon such a disgusting matter.
"Sir, you can't say things without proof, when did I hit you?" If Ye Qiu was at fault, he would never shirk responsibility, but if it's not his fault, he certainly won't take the blame!
"When did you hit me? You little brat, you even dare not admit it. What's happening in society today, what is wrong with these people!" The elder was getting more agitated, and as he shouted, more and more onlookers gathered around.
Many people looked at Ye Qiu with sympathy; regardless of whether Ye Qiu actually hit him, today's incident was bound to bring misfortune to Ye Qiu.
"What do you want?" Ye Qiu's face instantly darkened.
This elder was undoubtedly an actor; upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, the painful expression on his face instantly vanished, "Give me five thousand for medical fees, and I'll let you go."
Damn!
This is utterly shameless; any sensible person could see this elder wasn't injured at all, yet he outright demanded five thousand, which is blatant extortion!
"What if I don't give it?" Ye Qiu sneered, in his life, he despised those disrespectful elders the most, looking at him, it definitely wasn't his first time extorting people.
How many innocent people have been extorted by them, surely if they weren't successful, they wouldn't repeatedly come out to scam.
They even consider extortion a profession, a high-income profession.
"Not giving? Then I'll call the police! Let the cops come and make a judgment!" The elder's attitude was extremely arrogant, it seemed he wouldn't let go if Ye Qiu didn't comply.
Ye Qiu approached the elder and noticed injuries on him, except those were old injuries, not new ones. If the police came, the elder would likely blame the injuries on Ye Qiu.
Moreover, the elder chose this location precisely because it had no surveillance cameras; should he insist Ye Qiu hit him, Ye Qiu might really not be able to escape responsibility.
"Alright..."
Just as Ye Qiu was planning to let the elder call the police, a sudden powerful sense of crisis made his scalp tingle, instantly he shoved the elder away.
"Bang!"
At that moment, a gunshot rang out, a bullet grazed past Ye Qiu's face.
This unexpected gunshot made everyone around freeze, shell-shocked.
A moment later, someone immediately started shouting, and the crowd began scattering.
"Where do you think you're going!"
At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly sprang up, charging into the crowd.
Because the shooter was mixed in among them, the shooter didn't expect Ye Qiu's skills to be so good, dodging his sneak attack unnoticed, thus planning to retreat.
But Ye Qiu wouldn't give him that chance.
Ye Qiu's figure flashed swiftly, immediately catching up with the shooter, and kicked him hard to the ground.
This wasn't the end; Ye Qiu dashed again, catching up with the other individuals, and delivered several punches, knocking them all to the ground.
This change happened so fast, it caught everyone by surprise.
"Why did you do it? Why the beatdown? Did I provoke you?" The few individuals knocked down cried out.
"Hehe, why beat you? Aren't you all accomplices?" Ye Qiu sneered.
"Nonsense! Don't accuse us falsely!" Those few protested.
"Hehe, don't think I didn't see the eye signals exchanged between you earlier. As for being wrongfully accused, let me search you; if there are guns, there's no need to say anything further."
Upon hearing this, their faces changed drastically. They didn't anticipate Ye Qiu's perception to be so strong, and the next second they stopped hiding and immediately pulled out their guns, wanting to shoot Ye Qiu.
But Ye Qiu wouldn't give them such an opportunity.
As soon as they pulled out their guns, before they could fire, Ye Qiu was already beside them, delivering punches to disable them.
"Who is this guy? How could he be so skilled?"
"I don't know, but based on his skills, he's definitely not average."
"Isn't that obvious? What ordinary person can dodge a bullet?"
Those originally frightened by the gunshot, now stood afar pointing at Ye Qiu and discussing him.
Curiosity is human nature; now seeing the gunmen subdued by Ye Qiu, they didn't leave, just didn't dare get close.
"Who sent you?" Looking at the gunmen, Ye Qiu's face was cold. Firing guns in public is taboo, resulting in jail time. More so, these men committed a public assault, making the situation even more severe.
Ye Qiu couldn't understand who could have so much hatred for him to do such a thing.
As for the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps and Blood Cross? That's impossible.
Since they knew once a person reached a certain level of skill, it becomes easy to dodge bullets, and they knew firearms couldn't threaten him.
"No one instructed us."
However, those gunmen refused to admit anything.
