Chapter 6 Wind, Cloud, Thunder, Lightning (Part 3)

Seeing the guards charging over, Lin Da shot them a glance, his lip curling in utter contempt!

Lin Er didn't even deign to react, simply shielding the four children behind him.

They're just a bunch of swordsmen! Lin Da couldn't be bothered to use his Battle Qi or sword; using a sword on them would be an insult to himself!

Lin Da didn't retreat; instead, he shot forward to meet them. Then, he extended his strong and powerful right fist, unleashing a barrage of punches into their guts! With a series of "Bam! Bam! Bam!..." sounds, the once fierce group now lay sprawled on the ground. They writhed in agony, each clutching their stomachs, their faces pale with pain and dripping with cold sweat. Some even let out miserable cries.

Lin Da dusted off his hands, satisfied, and stalked step by step toward Enkas Ray. Enkas Ray had already been scared out of his wits when all his family's guards were taken down by Lin Da, his face turning ashen with fear.

Even if he were foolish or idiotic, he knew he had bitten off more than he could chew this time—and it was a fight he had practically begged to provoke.

As Lin Da approached step by step, Enkas Ray retreated step by step, blustering: "Don't come any closer! I am the son of Count Enkas. If you dare lay a hand on me, my father will have your head!"

Lin Da continued walking toward him, utterly unimpressed by the mention of his so-called Count father.

"Don't come any closer! What do you want? I can give you a lot of money! Yes, my father has plenty of money! I can give you a lot—ten thousand? No, a hundred thousand, a million! I'll give you a million, just please don't come any closer, don't kill me! Take a million and let me go!"

Watching Lin Da approach relentlessly, Enkas Ray was on the verge of breaking down. He even offered a million crystals to buy his life!

But Lin Da remained unmoved.

"Alright, alright, Lin Da, stop scaring that waste. Any more and I'm afraid you'll scare him to death!" Just as Enkas Ray was about to break down, a voice came from not far away—a voice that sounded like heavenly music to Enkas Ray at that moment.

"Yes, young master." Lin Da cupped his hands toward Lin Xing, then walked over to stand beside him without another word.

Lin Xing glanced at Enkas Ray, crumpled on the ground and sweating profusely, feeling nothing but utter contempt. He had always loathed such trash to the extreme. If it weren't for the need to keep a low profile now, Lin Xing would have long ordered this waste killed. Since this waste couldn't possibly escape now, Lin Xing paid him no further mind and led Shi Ya over to the child who had been whipped.

Looking closely, Lin Xing's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his murderous aura surged. He had never felt such rage as he did now. The sight of the child—a frail body covered in wounds, some so deep the white bones were visible. From the excruciating pain and excessive blood loss, his face was sickly pale!

Yet, he gritted his teeth and endured, sweating from the pain but refusing to yield.

His unwavering resolve, his perseverance...

All of it made Lin Xing admire him greatly, and he couldn't help but feel a desire to recruit him under his wing.

But now, Lin Xing was furious, truly wishing he could kill that bastard Enkas Ray on the spot!

Shi Ya sensed the fluctuations in Lin Xing's emotions and the... murderous aura emanating from him! She felt a bit scared; she had never seen Brother Lin Xing, who was always gentle and kind, become like this! She couldn't help but tightly grasp Lin Xing's hand.

Lin Xing took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself. He gestured to Lin San, who was already a Water Archmage, to use water-based healing magic on the child to treat his external wounds. However, due to the child's excessive mental tension, now that he saw someone had rescued them and realized Lin Xing's group weren't bad people, his mind relaxed, and he could no longer hold on, fainting.

Lin Xing instructed Lin Er and the others to take the four children back to the Prime Minister's residence first. Turning, he pointed at the pile of trash on the ground and said to Lin Da, "Shatter all their limbs!"

Enkas Ray nearly fainted from fear upon hearing this. He scrambled up and knelt on the ground, pleading to Lin Xing, "Please don't break my legs! I'll give you money, just please don't break my legs!"

"Oh? How much are you willing to give?"

Enkas Ray, thinking there was hope, happily said, "I only have a few thousand crystals on me right now." "A few thousand crystals? You think I'll let you go for just a few thousand crystals?" Lin Xing's face turned cold.

"No, no," Enkas Ray hurriedly said, looking at Lin Xing's gloomy expression. "If you let me go, I'll send the money to you as soon as I get home—a hundred thousand, no, a million crystals!"

A million crystals was almost the entire fortune of an average noble. Enkas Ray was practically giving his entire family wealth to Lin Xing. One wonders if his Count father would strangle him on the spot if he found out!

Lin Xing's face remained stern, though inwardly he was already laughing: This idiot is increasing the amount without me even asking. But this money—why not take it? Consider it compensation for those four children.

"Hmm, then transfer the money on you first." With that, he tossed a crystal card over. Enkas Ray caught the magic crystal card and hastily transferred all the money from his own crystal card, fearing Lin Xing wouldn't spare him.

Crystal cards were like credit cards from Lin Xing's previous world. They could store and withdraw currency, and when two cards were placed together, they could transfer currency between them. This way, one didn't need to carry currency around all the time—just a single card could take you across the continent, as the continent's currency was uniform. It was even more convenient than the credit cards from Lin Xing's previous world.

The difference was that these crystal cards were provided by the continent's Magic Guild. Crystal cards weren't something ordinary commoners could possess because, when applying for a card, you needed at least one hundred Crystal Coins in the card to get one. Ordinary commoners simply didn't have that much savings.

Thus, those with crystal cards were generally nobles.

The Caslar Continent typically had three types of cards: ordinary crystal cards, which you could own as long as you had one hundred Crystal Coins. Then there were Blue Crystal Cards, which required a certain status to possess—not just wealth but also a prominent identity.

Even more impressive were the legendary Purple Crystal Cards. It was said there were only ten Purple Crystal Cards in the entire continent! As for who owned them or what conditions were required to possess one, that remained unknown.

After collecting the money, Lin Xing said to Lin Da, "Cripple all of them."

"You can't do this! You said you'd let me go after taking the money!" Enkas Ray shouted.

"Did I agree to that? Idiot! Lin Da, cripple him! Remember, send that million over tomorrow!" The last sentence was directed at Enkas Ray.

Upon hearing this, Enkas Ray promptly fainted.
