"You can check it, there are two hundred thousand US Dollars inside, not a single cent missing."

The burly leader spoke indifferently, as if these two hundred thousand US Dollars were a mere trifle to him, completely beneath his notice.

"No need."

Yang Yan waved his hand:

"I suppose people from the Hidden Sect wouldn't deceive others over money matters. However, perhaps this two hundred thousand isn't enough."

"You... who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing Yang Yan reveal their origin in one breath, the leader asked warily.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited! I think you'd better listen to what I have to say next!"

"As for other matters, don't worry about them for now. After all, human lives are at stake!"

As soon as Yang Yan's voice fell, a scream suddenly erupted from behind the leading man.

With a thud, someone directly fell to the ground, clutching his chest, moaning and rolling in pain, sweat pouring like rain.

"Oh dear! It seems to have acted faster than expected. But no worries, everything is still under control!"

"It seems you no longer have room to negotiate. So let's do as I require and save some time."

"Time is money for me, but for you, it's life."

Yang Yan glanced at the man moaning painfully on the ground, and said with leisurely composure.

"What's wrong with him?"

The leader man stared at Yang Yan intently and asked in a deep voice.

"Shh—"

Yang Yan made a silencing gesture:

"Mind your tone. First, you came in and told me you were referred by Paul, which has already violated the Hidden Sect's taboo."

"Have you forgotten the first rule of the Hidden Sect's Eight Prohibitions?"

The burly leader was visibly stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and spoke slowly:

"The first rule of the Hidden Sect is that one cannot reveal where they come from and let the other party know their name."

Yang Yan lightly laughed:

"So, you do know? I thought you all had forgotten! So, don't say your names here on my side."

"As for that Paul, I can pretend I haven't heard it to avoid trouble."

"Also, this guy is poisoned by a Gu Worm. Not only him, but including you, everyone except the guy on the couch has been affected."

The leader frowned immediately:

"Gu Worm? Is this a method of the Huaxia Miao Family?"

Yang Yan nodded slightly:

"I don't know what mission you're on, but the opposing party must have had a master of Gu Worms overseeing it."

"That's why all of you fell victim without even realizing it."

With that, he took out the calculator in his hand and started pressing it noisily again.

"That guy on the couch, twenty thousand US Dollars for his consultation fee, and for those of you poisoned by Gu Worms, fifty thousand per person."

"There are seven of you poisoned, which totals three hundred fifty thousand US Dollars."

"Then my couch, which was dirtied by your people, needs to be replaced, costing ten thousand US Dollars."

"And the Gu Worms in this guy on the ground have already erupted, making treatment a bit troublesome, so an extra twenty thousand is needed."

"Therefore, excluding the twenty thousand US Dollars you've given me, you still need to pay me three hundred seventy thousand US Dollars."

"Thus, I'm making an exception to give you some discount, rounding it off, just give me four hundred thousand US Dollars!"

With the sound of button pressing, Yang Yan announced the final price.

"You, how come it's a discount, yet you're charging so much more?"

"Do you really think our money is brought by the wind?"

Someone flared up upon hearing Yang Yan's price and began to complain angrily.

"Hmm! Any doubts? Very well, let me explain it properly. Here I neither force sales nor force buys, all is voluntary, fair to elderly and children alike!"

"However, if it were my life threatened by the Gu Worm, even if it were forty million, I would still definitely pay without fail."

"Does this explanation satisfy you? If satisfied, consultation fee is ten thousand US Dollars! If not, I can continue explaining."

Yang Yan said smilingly, looking as if he had the upper hand.

Upon hearing Yang Yan add another ten thousand in the name of consultation, the man was even more displeased.

He glared angrily at Yang Yan, rolling up his sleeves in preparation to act.

"What? Want to fight?"

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, placing the calculator gently on the counter, and said with a cold smile:

"I advise you to think of the consequences before acting! After all, consultation fees are one thing, but fighting is another."

"Enough, Laosi! You and Laowu go get the money, four hundred ten thousand US Dollars, not a penny less."

After conducting a brief examination of his companion on the ground, the leader instructed in a deep voice.

"Boss, are we just letting this guy profit?"

Laosi, who wanted to act against Yang Yan, said unwillingly.

"Are you listening to what I'm saying? Hurry up and get the money! Laoqi is about to go under, we don't have much time."

The leader man frowned even more deeply, his eyes fixed on Laosi.

"Damn it! Understood, I'll go get the money with Laowu. But gathering four hundred ten thousand in cash might take quite a while."

Laosi said a word, then immediately turned and ran outside.

Laowu stomped his foot hard, swiftly following behind.

"Very good! Though the attitude was a bit poor, at least the outcome isn't too bad. You know, the reason I set up my clinic in a place like this is to wait for fat sheep like you to come in! Now it seems, the effect is finally somewhat satisfactory."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

The female leader raised her eyebrow slightly, standing up and slowly spoke to Yang Yan:

"Though I'm not sure who you are, since you dare target people like us, you must be someone from the Hidden World, right?"

"But if you're someone from there, why waste time on money matters?"

Yang Yan slightly shook his head, his smile carrying a hint of self-mockery:

"Ah! Even landlords sometimes struggle to make ends meet! Coincidentally, I've been really short on money lately, so I had no choice but to resort to this."

The man referred to as Big Brother nodded, pointed anxiously at Laoqi on the ground, and asked in a negotiating tone:

"I've already sent Laosi and Laowu to get the money. Can you check on Laoqi now? He seems like he's not going to make it."

Having confirmed Yang Yan's identity as someone from the Hidden World, he didn't want to provoke him any further.

Especially since this guy didn't play by common logic at all, who knew which words might lead to him raising the price again.

"Of course, there's no problem."

Yang Yan nodded and directly walked to Laoqi's side and began to apply acupuncture.
