Chapter 52 Blackmail
Amon put away his sword and shield and pushed his monocle:
"How?"
Romil was silent for a moment, and said with some thought: "Are you demonstrating to me the direction of my soul ring selection?"
"It seems that I am not too stupid." Amon smiled.
For the first time, Romil felt that he still needed to improve in angering others.
"Then what kind of soul beast do you think can bring me soul skills similar to yours?"
Romil did not go into the details of what Amon's martial soul was and why it did not appear. He was only concerned about how to do it as Amon demonstrated.
He originally wanted to obtain an offensive soul skill to make up for his shortcomings and enhance his own single combat power.
But Amon showed him a way that was both offensive and defensive, and also had growth potential. Whether it was the defense of the shield or the attack of the sword, it could grow with the growth of his martial soul!
"This is not a free answer." Amon said calmly.
"Okay, I'll join your team."
Romil didn't use joining the team as a bargaining chip to trade with Amon in exchange for his help in obtaining such spirit rings.
Because he knew that as long as he joined, Amon would help even if he didn't say it, otherwise the other party would not need to demonstrate it to him.
"Hehe...you can't be considered a member of the team now, you can only be said to be one of my favorite candidates." Amon shook his head.
Romil suddenly had the urge to turn against me...I have already agreed, and you said you still want to consider it?
It was obviously you who took the initiative to find me!
Amon's last sentence made him endure this impulse:
"As for what spirit beast to hunt...maybe you can ask Yanjin."
Amon turned and left.
Yanjin...she knows the answer?
Romil felt a toothache when he thought about dealing with that red-haired kid who was like a powder keg again.
...
Lei Yin walked on the street, and chased in the direction where Yanjin and Romil left by constantly asking passers-by.
But he still lost them.
At this moment, he was standing in a small alley, staring blankly at the road ahead blocked by the wall.
He scratched his head and turned back.
Just as he walked out of the alley, a man suddenly lay on the ground a few meters ahead and wailed:
"Ouch, my leg."
Lei Yin ignored it, he was not a nosy person.
The short and thin young man who fell to the ground saw Lei Yin walking around, and rolled on the ground twice with his body sideways, rolling to Lei Yin's feet.
"Ouch... my leg."
"Don't run, you hit me, you must be responsible." The young man grabbed Lei Yin's trouser leg and shouted loudly.
Glancing at him coldly, Lei Yin's eyes became dangerous. He had seen this kind of blackmail method when he lived in the West Street of Shuangye City.
Although he moved away from that chaotic area later, he and Yan Jin had dealt with Ma Wen's men a lot, so he was naturally not a good baby.
His gentleness and kindness were never given to people who had malice towards him.
"You said I hit you? Then where did you hurt?" Lei Yin asked softly.
"My leg, calf." The blackmailing youth held his right leg in pain.
Lei Yin's mouth twitched, because the man just held his left leg.
So unprofessional!
"Right leg... OK, I'll compensate you." Lei Yin nodded.
"Uh..." The youth was a little surprised, it was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Wouldn't most people first argue that they didn't do it?
Could this kid be a fool?
Before he could wonder for too long, a sharp pain came from his right calf, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He opened his eyes and saw that his right calf was obviously deformed.
Lei Yin stepped on his calf and broke it!
"Here, this is compensation." Lei Yin threw down a copper coin and said softly.
After a pause, he continued to ask:
"Are you injured anywhere else?"
The youth did not answer, his lips were pale, and his eyes were terrified.
Three tall, shirtless, and ferocious men surrounded him, staring at Lei Yin fiercely.
The leader looked at the miserable state of the blackmailing youth and felt dignified.
However, he still said with a stiff face:
"You are the one who hurt my brother?"
"Well, sorry, I have already compensated him. How about you check again? See where else he is injured?" Lei Yin kindly reminded.
Without waiting for the leader to answer, the young man lying on the ground sat up and shouted:
"No, no, I'm fine, there is no injury."
"Shut up." The leader glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Lei Yin:
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are a soul master. This is Beidi City! You should be a student, right? Wait for me, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to complain, and I will go to the academy to complain about you!"
Lei Yin didn't waste time talking to him, and directly put his hand on his arm.
Accompanied by a burst of electric sound, the leader of the blackmailing gang twitched and fell to the ground.
The other two turned around and wanted to escape, but before they ran a few steps, they fell in a flash of lightning.
Noticing the occasional glances from passers-by, Lei Yin dragged the four of them one by one into a small alley.
He slapped the leader to wake him up roughly, and with silvery-white currents jumping from his fingertips, Lei Yin pointed at his forehead and said:
"Next, I'll ask you questions, and you answer them. Don't play tricks."
Feeling the current just a few inches away from his forehead, the leader's hair stood on end, and he nodded cautiously:
"Okay... okay."
"Who ordered you here?"
The leader of the gangsters trembled and said:
"No, no one ordered us to come here. We are watching you...ah..."
The leader of the gangsters wailed.
Lei Yin put his hand on his shoulder, and the lightning flashed in his hand, "Think it over before answering.
"I know the beliefs of people like you very well. When you meet someone you can't afford to offend, you will beg for mercy first, instead of continuing your original plan to blackmail people.
"You know I'm a soul master. When I saw his appearance, I was already scared."
Lei Yin pointed at the young man who fell to the ground and pretended to be injured at the beginning.
After a slight pause, he continued:
"But you didn't back down, which is a bit suspicious... What gives you the courage to blackmail a soul master who is not easy to talk to?"
The leader smiled with difficulty, "No, really not...I..."
"You are waiting for someone! Waiting for the person who ordered you, it should be the city guards, or the teachers of the academy, who have jurisdiction over me, right?" Lei Yin interrupted.
The leader's pupils shrank, and he said awkwardly: "You worry too much, we really just want to extort money..."
"What a pity, there is nothing I want to hear."
The thunder light was bright, and the screams of the gangsters mixed with the sound of thunder and spread out.
Lei Yin did not stay for long, climbed over the wall and left the alley from the other side.
In less than two minutes, a team of guards hurriedly arrived.
The captain leading the team was still a low-level soul master.
When they arrived, they saw only four charred bodies in the alley.
"Captain, there are no signs of fire burning around, and it must be a soul master who killed them." A guard checked the scene and shouted.
"Shut up and clean up the bodies for me quickly." The captain of the guard said coldly.
"Okay, sir." The newly joined guard replied obediently.
He turned around, pinched his eye sockets, and immediately started to move the bodies that others were a little taboo, appearing very active.
The captain of the guard looked very unhappy. He gave a few instructions to an older guard and left in a hurry.
