Chapter 13165 Do you want me to get something for nothing?

A complex emotion surged in her heart, including fear of the young man and a trace of indescribable regret.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn and depressing. The man in black stood beside the beautiful woman, his eyes were like torches, scanning the surroundings, not letting go of every inch of space, his expression revealed a high degree of vigilance and alertness.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke in a low and sincere voice: "Sir, today's incident was indeed due to the negligence of my Bada Trading Company, which brought unnecessary trouble to you. On behalf of the trading company, I sincerely apologize to you, and hope you can forgive me."

However, the surroundings were still quiet, without any response. Seeing this, the man in black frowned and said again in a deep voice: "I know that you have great magical powers and may not bother to argue with mortals like us, but please show up and let us have the opportunity to apologize in person."

But the response to him was still dead silence. The man in black sighed inwardly. He knew that the other party might have left the room, or even left the business. He looked up at the window. The sunlight cast mottled light and shadow through the clouds, but it could not illuminate the haze in his heart.

As if he suddenly thought of something, the man in black's eyes fell on the hand of the beautiful woman. There, the storage ring of the beautiful woman should have been placed, but it was empty at the moment. He was startled and immediately realized that the disappearance of the storage ring might be the only clue left by the other party when he left.

The man in black pursed his lips tightly, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, with both anger for loss and fear of the unknown. He knew that today's matter would never end here.

The soul-breaking grass, the precious medicinal material, disappeared silently, and the spiritual stone hidden in the beautiful woman was also looted, leaving only a void and loss.

Seeing this, the man in black was furious. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and a violent force surged out of his body, instantly crushing the table in front of him into powder, wood chips flying everywhere, and an extremely depressing atmosphere filled the air.

Before this sudden change subsided, there were bursts of exclamations from outside, mixed with fear and chaos, surging like a tide, impacting the eardrums of the man in black. His face suddenly changed, and a hint of urgency and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. His figure shook, and he turned into a black shadow, breaking through the air and rushing out of the business.

However, when he rushed out of the door of the business, the scene in front of him made him feel like he fell into an ice cellar. He saw that the entire Bada Business, this once prosperous business giant, collapsed at this moment, dust flying, bricks and stones splashing, and it was a mess.

Most of the treasures in the business, including gold, silver, jewelry, rare medicinal materials, martial arts secrets, etc., were looted, leaving only an empty and desolate place.

"Asshole!" The man in black was furious and roared, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.

He knew that this was not only a loss of the business's property, but also a heavy blow to the reputation and status of Bada Business. He looked around, trying to find the traces left by the mysterious thief, but there was nothing but ruins and chaos.

At this moment, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning, and a figure quietly emerged. The young man who traded with him in the business and suddenly left - Ling Xiao! A strong premonition surged in the heart of the man in black. He suspected that the mastermind behind all this was the seemingly ordinary but mysterious young man.

"Could it be Ling Xiao!" The man in black muttered to himself, with a complicated look in his eyes. He was both afraid of Ling Xiao's strength and angry at his audacity. He knew very well that if it was Ling Xiao who did it, then this person was not only powerful, but also meticulous and ruthless, and was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

At this moment, the man in black was filled with an unprecedented sense of crisis and urgency. He knew that he had to find out the truth as soon as possible, find the lost treasure, and restore the reputation of Bada Commercial Bank.

At the same time, he also secretly swore that if it was really Ling Xiao who did it, he would bring him to justice at all costs to serve as a warning to others.

…

Outside the Demon-Suppressing Mansion, in a remote forest illuminated by the sun, Ling Xiao sat leisurely on a stone that had been polished by time. His eyes gently fell on the storage ring in his hand with a faint luster, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, outlining a faint and slightly cunning smile.

He sighed inwardly. He had only wanted to conduct a fair transaction in exchange for the resources he needed. He had never thought that the people of Bada Commercial Bank would be so greedy that they would let him get something for nothing. This was really speechless.

Recalling the transaction process with the beautiful woman, Ling Xiao's eyes became deep. From the first time he saw the beautiful woman, he keenly noticed the cunning and calculation that flashed across her eyes.

Years of experience have taught him to read people's expressions, so he chose to leave without making a sound, but he had already made up his mind.

Using his unique five-element dragon soul power, he quietly escaped into the darkness, like a dragon wandering in the shadows, hiding his figure and retaining the opportunity to observe the development of the situation.

When Ling Xiao returned to the room again, everything was just as he expected. The beautiful woman and the man in black were plotting how to swallow him, the "fat sheep". At that moment, there was no anger in his heart, only calmness and determination.

He knew very well that in this world where the strong are respected, the weak can only become fish on the chopping board of others. Only strength is the only reliance to protect oneself and defend dignity.

Therefore, facing the other party's inhumanity, he chose to repay injustice. This was not his nature, but the cruel survival law of the martial arts world forced him to do so.

He knew clearly that if he was not strong enough today, then what awaited him would be a tragic end with no bones left. This cognition made him more decisive and ruthless when facing the enemy.

Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a complex light. This was not only satisfaction with the spoils, but also a deep understanding of the cruel reality of the martial arts world.

After a while, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on his shoulders. He slowly stood up, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and then stepped away lightly. Every step seemed to blend into the surrounding mountain wind, leaving no trace.

In this vast and misty mountain range, Ling Xiao shuttled through the lush forest trails and finally found an extremely hidden cave.

This cave is hidden in the deepest part of the mountain. The entrance is covered by dense vines and exotic flowers. Even experienced warriors would find it difficult to detect its existence unless they are looking for it.

Ling Xiao stepped into the cave lightly, using his deep internal strength and martial arts to cleverly conceal his own aura, making it difficult for outsiders to detect his presence even if they were close at hand.
