112 An Urgent Plea

Jin got to the door and noticed that Zhen Qing got bigger...larger in size? "BOSS JIN I NEEED YOUR HELP!"

It was not Zhen Qing as he had initially thought, but instead, it was Xiong Da, the cultivator who used the Hungry Hippo Style that rang his bell this early in the morning. It was only then that Jin saw a slight silhouette of a lady riding the motorcycle behind Xiong Da.

"What is the problem?" Jin decided to handle Xiong Da first since he had always been a regular customer at his store. It would be disrespectful to shoo him away even though it was not opening hours yet.

"Thank goodness you are early, I was thinking that I might have to wait until afternoon for your presence." Xiong Da was sweating really badly.

"What's with the urgency?" Jin hoped to find out the reason quickly so he could talk to Zhen Qing. However, Zhen Qing also noticed that Jin had a customer barging in so she decided to park her motorcycle in the same garden spot she did yesterday and waited for Jin to finish.

"Do you remember how I told you that about a guy who challenged me to a duel and I lost?" Xiong Da hoped that Jin remembered the reason he decided to buy Jin's dungeons and the verbal agreement that had transpired between the two of them.

Jin nodded his head. How could he forget? He was the first regular customer Jin had ever had and that embarrassing duel was the reason why Xiong Da was training so desperately hard with the help of Instructor Milk.

"I happened to bump into my crush again, Ruo Ying, and I noticed that there was some bruising on her face under her makeup. I even noticed some bruises under her sleeves too."Xiong Da's rage was bursting out of him and his angry chi could be felt by Jin.

"Aren't you a lawyer? You can now sue him for abuse or assault, can't you?" Jin was curious about why Xiong Da had not pressed for a case.

"Ever since I knew about this last night, I told her I would bring him to the police but she could only hold her tears back. Ruo Ying said that her father had gambled all that wretched guy's money away hence she could not even hope to run. That guy even made her father sign a screwed up contract saying that he had to pay all the money back with interest. That bastard even told him that he would be holding Ruo Ying a little while longer as a guarantee. There was no chance Ruo Ying's father could call the cops or employ a lawyer because that was written in the contract." Xiong Da clenched his fists even harder.

"Surely, you can find some loopholes in that contract…" Jin was beginning to wonder if Xiong Da was really a lawyer.

"Oh, there lots when I had the chance to take a look at it. But I decided to meet him next week and settle our old score. After I win, I will crush him into minced meat while making sure he is not eligible for resurrection. No...that's not good enough...I will also gift him a mountain of debts too so he can pay for his actions!" Xiong Da got so riled up that Jin saw his Hippo silhouettes out screaming.

Zhen Qing was shocked and thought that the fat guy wanted to beat up Jin and wanted to call the police immediately. However, she noticed Jin was still standing at the side door relaxed and decided to hold her phone close to her just in case.

"Ah, seems like you reached Grade 2 Peak." Jin was amazed by the dedication of Xiong Da.

"But are you sure that Ruo Yong girl that you mentioned will still be in love with you? Perhaps she just wanted you to get her out of the predicament she was in. Maybe she was just trying her luck and just wanted to use you like the same way that...what's that guy's name?"

"Lan Ji Ao" Xiong Da spit his saliva at the side of the walkway upon saying his name. Jin then folded his arm and cleared his throat to show his discontent.

"Ah sorry. Boss Jin." Xiong Da then realised he was at Boss Jin's doorstep.

"Anyways yea, she might actually use you just like how Ji Ao used her. Or perhaps, this was an elaborate plan for Ji Ao to humiliate you even more and show Ruo Ying who was the boss." Jin queried Xiong Da but it seemed that it was a waste of effort.

"I know, I have thought of all the possibilities. However, she was the only one that really understood me when I was in contact with her previously. Also, she did try to send some messages to me during the past month but she rarely instigated long conversations because her phone was being monitored by Ji Ao. Besides, even if she does not like me anymore, I would still like to help her. But in order for me to help her, I need your help. Please Boss, help me!" Xiong Da went to his knees and prostrated.

Zhen Qing was befuddled by what had transpired. First, the fat guy seemed to be threatening Jin and right after Jin folded his arms, he began prostrating in front of Jin. Who was this Jin exactly? No matter what, it looked like Zhen Qing was right to be put up a defensive front for now. Last night, she was thinking that maybe her prayers had been answered after all these years of hard work but now she did not know if this was the right opportunity for her or not.

"So how did you want me to help you exactly?" Jin noticed Zhen Qing's awkward expression from afar and decided to support Xiong Da up. The moment Xiong Da stood up, he took out a cheque for 50 Thousand Yuan and shoved it into Jin's camp.

"This is the deposit. Train me like I am in a special forces hell boot camp. All I ask is that I eat good food during breaks. I am willing to sleep on the floor of the shop if I have to!" Xiong Da's resolution was very obvious. He did not care about anything but his desire to save the girl he liked...and delicious food.

In some way, Jin felt quite shameful that he was not as resolute as Xiong Da. It took Yun a massive amount of effort to get Jin to open his eyes and let him stand on his two feet and here Xiong Da was overflowing with determination, wanting to change at all cost all by himself. Even if there was no 50 thousand Yuan to entice him, Jin had already been inspired by Xiong Da and pumped up to work doubly hard for him. But, with that cheque of 50 thousand yuan, he could also convert the money into dungeon dollars for his monster's home so it was a good bonus.

"Alright, I might be able to help you but just hold on to that cheque until I can confirm it for you." Jin returned the cheque to Xiong Da and returned to the store. He pretended to check his phone for something but he was actually messaging Zeru about whether he could assist Xiong Da.

"I will not take another disciple." Zeru adamantly refused to assist Xiong Da.

"Nono, I am not asking you to train him as your disciple but as an instructor," Jin remembered Yun said offensive classes like Zeru could not be used as an instructor on the fields since it would make the battle too easy. Speaking of instructors, only a few used Milk as their instructor and no one took Peppers but it could be the notion of AI's being useless in battles. None of the customers knew that Milk and Peppers were not just AI instructors.

"Oh! Okay, sure, but I thought the system would not allow offensive classes as instructors?" Zeru asked. "For that part, I respect the system's opinion because I too feel it would be too easy for cultivators if you joined them for the battle. Hence, I am not asking you to join him in the dungeons. Instead, you will be training him in Panda Muscles." Jin typed furiously on his phone's screen pad.

"Understood, I shall wait for him over there." Zeru's portrait immediately disappeared, indicating that he had teleported himself to Panda Muscles.

"So, Boss. Is it okay? If 50 thousand Yuan is not enough, I can give you more. To me, money is not an issue at all."Xiong Da opened his suitcase to take out his chequebook and wrote a blank cheque for Jin. "Name your price!" Xiong Da seemed to be sweating as he passed that blank cheque to Jin but he was determined to go all out for Ruo Ying.

Meanwhile, Jin tore the blank cheque into pieces right in front of him and took the 50 thousand yuan cheque from his suit pocket instead. "This will be enough for now." Jin beckoned Xiong Da to come into the store

Jin also beckoned to Zhen Qing, albeit with a gentler expression, but all Zhen Qing could do was nod her head and entered the store with Xiong Da.
