In Wang Xinyu's house, He Naixing stood expressionless before the altar, where a Puppet suddenly ignited without any apparent source of fire, turning to ash in the blink of an eye.
"Master, how did this Puppet catch fire on its own? Could it be that Jiang Ling didn't die at the hands of that Puppet?" Wang Xinyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a sly expression.
"Hmph! Although my Puppet was destroyed by that brat, he was also struck by the Black Crow Witch Poison I personally concocted." He Naixing snorted coldly, his demeanor proud. "My Voodoo is renowned throughout the Western Wizarding World, and this Black Crow Witch Poison is my most prized creation. If that brat doesn't find a way to counteract it by tomorrow morning, then at the crowing of the rooster, it will be his time to die!"
"Master, what a clever tactic!" Wang Xinyu's eyes sparkled as a smile spread across his face. It seemed that bringing He Naixing in was worth every bit.
"We cannot let our guard down just yet. If that brat has good fortune and finds a way to neutralize it, it’s not impossible!" He Naixing took out a straw doll with my Birth Date and Time affixed to it. He placed the doll on the altar and said, "Just in case, we must continue crafting the heart-linked Puppet for that brat!"
After He Naixing finished speaking, he began to refine the Puppet using the items on the altar while Wang Xinyu stood quietly to the side, not daring to interrupt.
Inside that car, after I destroyed that clump of hair, the Puppet crafted by He Naixing immediately lost its vitality and collapsed into a Paper Man slumped in its seat.
I had been struck by He Naixing's Voodoo; my left hand was temporarily incapacitated. Fortunately, the other functions of my body remained normal and were unaffected by the Voodoo.
"I hope the Elixir of Immortality in the Nine-Dragon Cauldron can neutralize this Black Blood!" I wiped away the sweat from my forehead and noticed that the Black Blood had stopped spreading. I felt a slight sense of relief and decided to temporarily ignore my injured left arm.
"Driver, pull over!" I pressed the Demon-Subduing Staff against the back of the driver's head and spoke angrily. This driver seemed to be one of Wang Xinyu's people; otherwise, it was too coincidental for him to have picked me up.
"Master, spare me! I was forced into this! They took my daughter and threatened me; if I didn’t comply with their demands, they would kill her!" The driver pulled over, and as we stepped outside the car, he knelt before me without hesitation, pleading for mercy. Although his reasoning sounded somewhat far-fetched, I could sense he wasn't lying. Considering Wang Xinyu's character, it wasn't impossible for him to do something like this.
"Get lost! Don't let me see you again!" I kicked him in the face, knocking out two of his teeth; this was my punishment for him. This driver was merely an accomplice, so I let him off easily. When I encountered Wang Xinyu himself, things would not be so simple.
After I sent the driver away, I hailed another taxi and continued my journey to Dragon's Apartment. This time, there were no further mishaps on the way, and an hour later, I arrived at Dragon's Apartment without any issues.
I looked at the luxurious Dragon's Apartment in front of me. There were four or five security guards standing at the entrance, and five teams of guards patrolling inside. The security was very tight.
I touched my ear, feeling a bit guilty as I muttered, "It would be best if I could collect this hefty sum of five hundred thousand; if not, then so be it!"
I quickly walked towards the security room at the entrance of Dragon's Apartment and called out to the person inside, "Hello, sir! I'm here to see Wang Hai at Villa No. 3 in Dragon's Apartment!"
"Oh, you must be Jiang Ling from Buddhist Artifact Shop!" A man in his sixties sitting in the security room, dressed simply yet neatly, resembled a butler from television.
I nodded and asked in confusion, "That's right, I'm Jiang Ling. But how did you know?"
"Jin Yuanjie called earlier and informed us that you would be coming. I've been waiting for you!" The butler stepped out of the security room and gestured for me to enter with a smile. "Jiang Ling, since you're here, let's go inside quickly! The master is waiting for you!"
Following the butler, we walked for about ten minutes until we reached a villa. The villa was quite large and luxuriously built, exuding an air of opulence.
"Huh? Why is there a hint of Evil Qi in this villa?" As soon as I stepped through the front door, I sensed a faint trace of Evil Qi within the villa that made me uncomfortable. As a Buddhist Master protected by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Buddha Manifestation, I usually wouldn't be bothered by ordinary evil entities. However, my left hand had been rendered useless by He Naixing's Voodoo, and my Buddhist Power could only exert about seventy percent of its full strength now. I couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
"This villa doesn't seem like a good place; I'll grab the money and leave immediately!" I frowned and thought to myself.
"Master, Jiang Ling from Buddhist Artifact Shop has arrived!" The butler pushed open the door to the villa's hall and led me inside. I saw an elderly man in his eighties sitting in the hall. His hair was completely white, yet he appeared vigorous and showed no signs of aging.
"Old man, you must be Wang Hai! You owe our Buddhist Artifact Shop five hundred thousand Renminbi. While I'm still being polite, hurry up and pay up!" I pointed my Demon-Subduing Staff at Wang Hai's face, trying to look fierce as I got straight to the point.
"Ha ha, you really are impatient. Are you afraid I might run off with your money?" Wang Hai laughed heartily as he glanced at the butler and said, "Butler, give the money to Jiang Ling!"
"Yes, sir!" The butler walked into the room behind the hall and after a moment, he emerged carrying a silver briefcase.
"Jiang Ling, here is five hundred thousand Renminbi. Count it!" He opened the briefcase, revealing it filled to the brim with red banknotes. I counted; each ten thousand was bundled neatly, exactly fifty bundles in total.
My eyes sparkled with excitement as I swallowed hard. This was the first time I had seen so much cash, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline.
"That's right, exactly five hundred thousand!" I took a deep breath to calm myself and reached out to take the briefcase. I placed it into my backpack, pondering to myself, "It was this easy to get my hands on it! It shouldn't be this simple!"
Just as I was about to bid farewell to Wang Hai, he waved his hand and said, "Jiang Ling, now that you've received the money, we should get down to business!"
I wasn't in a good state today; the plot had stalled. I'll take some time to think it over and update tomorrow!
