In the Zhuang Family's vault!

This was Chen Xiaobei's third time in here.

Nothing had changed since the last time he was there. The used Spiritual Stones were still scattered across the floor. It seemed like no one had been in there for the past two days.

After today, there would not be anything left in here!

"Harvest! Begin!" Chen Xiaobei raised his brows and with a wave of his hand and moved the shelf next to him into his Infinite Space Ring.

The red sandalwood shelf might only be a shelf, but it was worth several millions! And the things on it were even more high-priced!

From the left, on the highest shelf were many different kinds of the most premium jades and jewels! 

Store!

On the shelf below that were antique calligraphy, like the ones you can find in a small museum!

Store!

The third shelf was full of martial art manuals. Even more than a random faction would have!

Store!

On the fourth row were full of armors and weapons that were either crafted by famous blacksmiths or used by generals of ancient emperor!

Keep!

The fifth shelf was filled with medicinal herbs—all of them extremely rare and priceless!

Keep!

In a short few minutes, the Zhuang Family's large treasure vault was cleaned out by Chen Xiaobei. There was nothing left. 

The Zhuang Family—the one of the four most powerful families of Dragon City! Their collection of hundreds of years of treasures disappeared just like that, into Chen Xiaobei's pocket!

"Humph humph! I've been eyeing them for so long. I can now finally sweep this place clean! It's so satisfying to rob your enemy! How gratifying!"

Chen Xiaobei smiled cunningly.

Chen Xiaobei pulled out the Ma Liang Divine Pen that he had not used for a while from the Infinite Space Ring.

He raised his hand and wrote on the wall of the vault!

...

In the Zhuang household.

In the mansion.

"It's the third day! After we eat the medicine given by Elder Wu, we can now get out of bed and walk like Junmo!"

Qiu Junmo leaned his head back on the pillow, looking quite pleased.

"When will Elder Wu come? I can't wait any longer!"

Qiu Junmo stood by the door, wearing an expectant expression on his face.

Xu Dongruo and Xu Changqing also had their eyes glued to the door, anticipating Chen Xiaobei's arrival as one would shooting stars.

"My grandfather just called. He said he'll be here in half an hour!"

All three Zhuang Hao, Zhuang Bihuang, and Zhuang Lao Taijun walked over.

"Yap Jianming must already have acquired Lan Organization by now!" Zhuang Hao smiled. "Once they are done. We'll be able to catch Chen Xiaobei soon! Since there's still another half an hour, let's discuss how we want to torture Chen Xiaobei."

"I want Chen Xiaobei to watch as I smash Lan Mengcheng's face! And then we should round up all of Chen Xiaobei's women and rape them! Then we'll throw them to the brothel so that they could prostitute themselves!"

Zhuang Bifan ran over and said breathlessly, "I want Chen Xiaobei castrated! And chilli oil to be poured onto his wound!"

"Stop all this nonsense!" Zhuang Lao Taijun said, "Your childish thinking is a joke to our guests!"

"It's not a bother!" Su Dongruo laughed. "Their ideas are pretty good! As long as we can cause pain and suffering to Chen Xiaobei, we'll be satisfied!"

"Grand Elder Su, you have misunderstood Zhuang Lao Taijun!"

Yue Changkong grinned. "Zhuang Lao Taijun said that their ideas are childish because she has better ideas!"

"Zhuang Lao Taijun, please enlighten us!" Yue Junmo asked eagerly.

"I've heard of a very special torture method called live skinning!"

Zhuang Lao Taijun narrowed her eyes.

"Live skinning? What is that?" Xu Changqing asked.

Zhuang Lao Taijun smiled frostily and said, "We'll bury Chen Xiaobei in the ground, leaving only his head above ground. Then, using a blade we'll take the layer of skin off his forehead and pour mercury on him! The mercury will flow down his body causing his so much pain that he'll start to struggle. When he does that, his flesh will tear. His eyes will rot until they cave in. He'll be in so much pain! Skinning the person while he's alive, so that his flesh and skin are separated! That is live skinning!"

If a normal person had heard this plan, they would be extremely spooked.

But the people in this household were excited—all of them looking forward to the unfolding of the plan.

"Wow! That's really good!" Zhuanghao grinned wickedly, "That's it then! Once we have Chen Xiaobei in our hands, we'll give a taste of his own medicine! We'll skin him first then we'll take our time torturing him… Urgh! Ah…!

Before he could finish, Zhuang Hao's expression suddenly changed and he let out a cry of anguish.

"Zhuang Hao! What's the matter?" 

"Urgh… Ah! My chest… It hurts! It hurts!"

Zhuang Hao grabbed his chest and his legs gave way under him in front of the others.

His face scrunched up the veins on his forehead throbbed. His face was drained of color and his body started to convulse.

"Zhuang Hao? What's wrong? Don't scare us!"

Zhuang Lao Taijun was frantic.

"Dad! What is wrong?"

Zhuang Bifan and Zhuang Bufan were scared out of their wits.

"My chest… Feels like it was stabbed… Pain… Urgh! Blargh…"

Before he had finished talking, Zhuang Hao head fell and he threw up blood.

There were pieces of meat in the pool of blood. It was like his lungs were shredded and threw them all up.

Bam!

Then next minute, Zhuang Hao was on the ground, as blood continued to pour from his mouth.

"Zhuang Hao! Zhuang Hao!" Zhuang Bifan ran over and check Zhuang Hao's pulse. He looked up the others, horrified, "Zhuang… Zhuang Hao… Is dead…"

"What? Dead?"

The others were struck dumb.

A few minutes ago, Zhuang Hao was perfectly fine. He was even laughing and cursing Chen Xiaobei!

And then he just died!

Everyone else froze, cold sweat dripping down their backs and their hearts thumping so hard it was going to explode.

"Make a call! Call my grandfather! Argh…"

Zhuang Bifan screamed but he suddenly broke off mid-sentence and clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

"Argh…" Zhuang Bufan fell after him.

Puff…

Puff…

In an instant, both brothers were also throwing up blood and, in a matter of minutes, drew their last breath!
