Chapter 787: Can you make these?

Chapter 787: Can you make these?Brother Du was stunned, he had stolen all of these things from the traveller and the man who was responsible for creating these things was now rotting in the stomachs of the wild beasts. It was not that Brother Du did not try to find out how these things were made but the traveller who was caught by them knew that he was not going to survive after they did not let go of him once Brother Du found out how the things were used.          

Thus, he did not open his mouth and did not tell Brother Du anything. This action of the traveller annoyed Brother Du so much that in his anger, he killed the man and it was only after the man stopped breathing did he realise that he did something wrong but it was too late to regret it, he could only throw the corpse away and then bring those fireworks back with him.      

Now that Lin Chen was asking him how to make these things he truly had no idea. He only knew how to pull open the sky fireworks and then pour the greyish content out to make these black balls as for the rest, he had no idea.    

" That…" he wanted to make an excuse to stall for time but Lin Chen did not give him an opportunity, he narrowed his eyes and said, " You either give us the formula or your life, chose what you want!"      

The reason Lin Chen was being this harsh was that he knew that this man did not come up with the idea of making the grey powder inside the black balls. If Brother Du was this wise, he would not be making a living by using these black balls to threaten and rob others, the reason he was still working as a robber was because he did not know how to make these black balls.    

They were innovative and from the looks of it, they were different from the Fireworks which were sold in the market given that they exploded in a bright yellow colour instead of the usual dull sparks. With such a great thing this man could have made a fortune why didn't he?    

When Brother Du heard Lin Chen's threat, he did not dare to hide anything from the two men anymore, he lowered his head and confessed his sins at once with an honest voice, " I … I stole them from a traveller because there was a fight he ended up dying and I … I have no idea how to make this thing."      

At this moment Brother Du was feeling the same despair as the traveler did when he cornered him into giving up his hard work. If he knew that one day these black balls will cause him so much trouble, he would have been a bit more careful but every mountain had a bigger tiger and he was facing the bigger one at the moment despite being fierce himself.      

With his rat-like eyes flickering left and right, Brotehr Du had no idea what to do anymore, he could only purse his lips and watch Lin Chen and Lin Yu with a pleading look in his eyes hoping that they will leave him alone.      

Xiao Bohai, on the other hand, snapped his head towards his boss and stared at him with a gaping look on his face, even though he was used to flattering Brother Du and watching him take favours from men and women alike under the threat of Black balls, he did not think that this man was so ruthless that he even killed someone!      

" You...You said that you stole the formula!" Because there was no lack of black balls which they used, Xiao Bohai thought that his boss was speaking the truth but lo and behold he was telling him that he killed someone, really?    

" How can I have the formula in my hands? If I did do you think I would still be stealing?" Brother Du snapped at Xiao Bohai who was kneeling next to him, he was like a bag of gunpowder which had been ignited, he wanted to take his anger out on the two men but seeing how tall and strong they were, he knew that he could do nothing to them but Xiao Bohai was different he was his underling and thus he could scold him as he wished.    

When Xiao Bohai heard the words of his boss he was stunned, the very reason he followed this man was because he wanted the formula of those black balls! Unlike Brother Du, Xiao Bohai had an old mother at home, he needed to make money to feed his mother who was now old and sick.      

Stealing and acting as a robber was not a long-term plan, he thought that as long as he acted as Brother Du's underling he will let him have the formula of the black balls who would have expected that this man …was lying to him from the start!      

" You bastard! I will fight with you! You lied to me! You said that as long as I follow you, you will give me that formula and now you are saying that you don't even know how to make it? Are you for real?" Xiao Bohai exploded the moment he heard that there was no formula he wished he could kill Brother Du who had made him do everything from washing his clothes to polishing his shoes and yet his hard work and all the flattery that he handed to this man turned into smithereens!    

" Who are you screaming at? So what if I don't have the formula? Did I not give you enough money?" Brother Du was displeased upon hearing the words from Xiao Bohai, he wanted to say something more but was stopped by Xiao Bohai who screamed at him and said,    

"What money? Are you talking about the pitiful sum you offered me? My mother is sick and she needs urgent care. I was sucking up to you such that you will help me but now you are reneging on your words? You have no shame!"      

" You bastard so that is why you were following me, now that we are in trouble you are finally showing your true colours eh?"      

" I—-"      

" Shut up!"
