Upon hearing the man's words, despair instantly filled her eyes. The glimmer of hope that had lingered there faded in an instant. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but was too frightened to speak. She shook her head gently, a gesture that seemed to plead with Ling Xue not to sign, yet she feared that this very action would provoke those people into tormenting her even more. Overwhelmed by helplessness and fear, she instinctively curled up, as if trying to escape the impending harm.
Ling Xue watched her sister's pitiful and tragic state, feeling as though a thousand sharp needles were piercing her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes, but stubbornly, she bit her lip and lifted her chin, refusing to let the tears fall. She did not want to show her weakness in front of these villains.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Xue struggled to suppress the anger that threatened to erupt from within her, trying her best to keep her voice steady. However, a slight tremor still betrayed her inner turmoil. She turned to the Tattooed Man and said, "I can pay you back; just let my sister go."
As soon as the words left her mouth, the group paused in surprise before bursting into laughter, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. Their laughter echoed loudly in the room, each person doubled over with mirth, as if Ling Xue's words were the funniest thing they had ever encountered.
The Tattooed Man laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face. After finally managing to compose himself, he wiped away his tears and said mockingly, "You owe money? You'll never be able to pay it back in ten lifetimes!" He then rummaged through a pile of documents and pulled out a contract, pretending to calculate while reading aloud: "One hundred million Ten Thousand Fusang Coins! The daily interest is Ten Thousand Fusang Coins! You’ve already accrued half of that! Tsk tsk tsk, it totals one hundred million Ten Thousand Fusang Coins! Converted to Xia Country currency, that’s millions! Do you really think you can pay it back?"
Yet Ling Xue remained unfazed. She looked coldly at the man with an unwavering determination in her eyes, refusing to be swayed by his ridicule. Calmly, she took out her phone from her pocket with steady and swift movements and said firmly, "I can make the payment right now."
Upon hearing this, doubt immediately clouded their faces as they stared wide-eyed at Ling Xue, their expressions akin to those witnessing a lunatic escape from a mental institution. Deep down, they could not believe that Ling Xue could possibly have such a large sum of money.
However, not long after, with a few swift taps on her phone screen, a crisp notification sound rang out—an unmistakable transfer alert that echoed clearly in the suddenly quiet room.
They stood frozen in disbelief as their previous arrogance and disdain vanished without a trace. Shock replaced their expressions; mouths agape in astonishment as they struggled to comprehend what had just happened.
The Tattooed Man was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality. He hurriedly turned to his still-dazed subordinates and urged them to get dressed properly instead of looking so disheveled and unruly. He then plastered on a sycophantic smile, his face contorting into an exaggerated grin as he slightly bowed towards Ling Xue. His tone shifted dramatically to one of politeness as he said, "Ah, I sincerely apologize for any offense earlier; I truly regret what happened with your sister. If only you had paid earlier, we could have avoided all this misunderstanding."
Ling Xue had no intention of engaging with his insincere flattery. Her gaze was fixed on her weak sister Mihiko Sister, filled with concern and compassion. She hurried towards her sister with urgency in every step, desperate to help her up and escape this nightmarish place far away from these despicable people.
