Chapter 550: Zi Yanrou Lost Her Eyes?
Green Leaf City.
" Get your ass outta here."
" Boss! Boss! Please spare me! Business is down these days! I can't afford this week's protection money!" A man fell to his knees as he shouted.
" An-And…the previous terms was…Once in a month…"
" Hmph! Bastard! You think we care? We clearly told you that we are taking fees twice a month!"
A bald, skinny man smacked the face of the shopkeeper, throwing him to the ground.
" We are the new rules here! You think you are still under those old bastards?"
" Yo-You! Just wait till Jade Sea Gang returns!" The shopkeeper spat on the ground. " All of you rungs will pay for your deeds!"
" Boss, did you hear that? Hahaha!"
" Old bastard, you really think Jade Sea Gang is still there, huh? They are already deep in their mess. You think they are coming to help you?"
The man clutched the hair of the shopkeeper, forcing him to look at him.
" You really love to run your mouth, huh? I wonder how much can you run if I bring your little girl here?"
" YO-YOU DARE! N-NO! DON'T!"
" Oi, move out of the way. I am hungry for some scallion pancakes!"
" Which fucker is trying to mess with me now?"
Annoyed, the goon turned around, only seeing a couple standing behind him.
The young man was handsome, with crystal sharp eyes, with a tint of violet. He wore a white shirt, sleeves rolled up yet tight fitting on his muscles. His skin was polished as healthy wheat, with a masculine aura making him stand out from others.
Same with the woman beside him, wearing black sunglasses, like a fairy descended from the sky. She looked like a foreigner, with auburn hair curled up like vines. Wearing a wrap style dress with navy blue color, the slight V cut could only make men imagine the bountiful bosoms hidden under dress. She stood holding an expensive handbag, mildly impatience.
" Xiao Yun, I am really getting hungry. I came back to taste some authentic street food, and now we are seeing this shit." The woman sighed. " Didn't you say this place is under you?"
The young man gave a wry smile, " I apologize, elder sister. I guess my subordinates were slacking while I was out of the country."
" Who the hell are you, fucker?! You dare to mess with me?" The bald scrawny pulled out a knife.
" Buddy, you better not move."
The baldy froze on his place as the young man appeared beside him, patting his shoulder lightly.
' Wh-When did he even move? I didn't see anything…'
Gulping a mouthful of saliva, the baldy made a gesture for his subordinates to not move.
" Smart guy."
The young man smiled as he got up from the shopkeeper. Patting his clothes, the young man spoke, "Boss, four scallion pancakes and pork soup, please."
" This…"
Even the shopkeeper was stunned. Because not only the young man help him, just by his pat, he felt all his pain from the beating vanishing.
" Ri-Right away, Sir!"
Knowing it's unusual, the shopkeeper hurried inside to make t he food.
" Well, now I can focus you all… Ah, let me introduce myself first. I am Jun Tianyun."
" Jun Tianyun…Why does it seem I know this name?"
" Yeah, that's a kinda…familiar name…"
The baldy heard the murmurs of his subordinates. However, suddenly, his heart chilled as he realized where he had heard it.
' Surname Jun? Jun by…That family in Capital City?'
Green Leaf City was under the ironclad rule of the Jade Sea Gang. But before that, it was utterly chaotic, the hub of all criminal activities in Azure Province.
However, one young man, only one…crushed all of them. In a single night, hundreds died, yet nothing was ever made to the media. A handsome, yet ruthless killer, that's what the myth of Jun Tianyun is.
" Haha, looks like you aren't completely ignorant." Jun Tianyun laughed, his laughter made the baldy even more scared.
' Fuck, did he read my mind?' His heart was chilled.
" Boss, Here is your food."
The shopkeeper returned with plates full of steaming dishes, making Jun Ronghua's eyes gleam. Quickly, she tore a bite, blowing on it before putting it in her mouth.
" Mmm! Now, that's some good shit." Jun Ronghua closed her eyes and enjoyed. " You know, Xiao Yun, classy restaurants are good, but still…Taste of street food is just different."
" You better finish your business quickly, or I will finish it all."
Jun Tinayun laughed when he heard Jun Ronghua. " Just a minute, Sister. I will be quick."
Turning to the baldy man, his eyes narrowed, " Better be quick, right?"
" I…I will tell whatever I know, Boss…Just spare me…"

" Damn it! DAMN IT! These motherfuckers!"
" CEO Wang…"
" No, I am fine…" Wang Ming rubbed his face as he sat on his chair. " So, you are saying the Black Crystal Corporation has already stolen two of our ventures?"
" Not only that, even the south district, they have occupied major businesses."
" Hmph, the main family is still in some trouble. And these bastards are messing with us now." Wang Ming sneered. " Get my sword, I will go to the Shadow Dagger Gang tonight."
" But Boss…You have a date with Miss Zhiqing…"
Wang Ming turned speechless, his anger vanishing. " Uhmm… Well, I guess that's more important. Let's postpone the attack plan for tomorrow."
" Hahaha, Wang Ming, oh Wang Ming…You have changed so much."
The secretary was startled as he pulled out a gun, looking at the newcomer in the room with vigilance. However, Wang Ming's expression was different.
Rushing forward, it was like he jumped for a hug.
" BROTHER JUN!"
" Whoa! Whoa!" Jun Tianyun laughed as he hugged Wang Ming. " Looks like you missed me a lot, huh?"
" Of course! Damn, It feels so boring without you here!" Wang Ming let go of him with a sniffle.
' Haha, other's got fatty Wang, but I got a handsome Wang, huh?' Jun Tianyun was amused as he looked at him.
" Not bad, You reached the Martial Grandmaster Realm?"
" You bet, I didn't slack off my training at all." Wang Ming chuckled. " Though, family did give me some top rank medicines to boost my power, Hehe…"
" And, what's about Lei Zhiqing?" Jun Tianyun smirked. Wang Ming's face turned blushing as he looked away.
" It's going good…"
Suddenly, his fond memories cut in the middle, his face turning utterly pale.
" What happened? Why are you making that face?" Jun Tianyun asked with some confusion.
" Brother…You just returned from abroad, right?" Wang Ming asked in a low voice. " Means…You don't know anything happening here?"
" I heard some gists. Things have become muddy after the dimensional rift incident. Why?"
Wang Ming shook his head, " No…Not that. About…Sister Zi…"
Jun Tianyun's face froze. " What happened to Zi Yanrou?"
" Haah, I have no strength to say it aloud, Brother. I…"
Before Wang Ming could finish his sentence, Jun Tianyun vanished from his position. Wang Ming couldn't help but sigh…
" A storm of blood is coming."

The familiar villa, the familiar room.
" And now, it's done." Yan Mingzhu waved her hands as an array of talismans floated. " This will do the work."
" En, you mastered it really fast, Mingzhu." Luo Bingyu clapped. " Well, looks like you're gonna be more helpful from now on."
" Hmph, you still need to train your body, Mingzhu. Don't slack off." Cai Ningxue smiled.
Suddenly, everyone turned around, their eyes turned wide.
" Br-Brother!"
" Jun Tianyun!"
" Husband!"
Jun Tianyun's face was slightly panicked, covered with sweat. " Wh-Where is Yanrou?"
Everyone's face stiffened when they heard that. However, before they could reply, a voice drifted out.
" Hmm, finally remembered me?"
Jun Tianyun felt relieved when he heard Zi Yanrou's voice, but when he looked at her, his face turned pale.
As beautiful as she used to be, Zi Yanrou looked frail and skinny, pale black veins running from her arms to her neck. But what's devastating… She wore a bandage on her eyes.
" Ya-Yanrou? Wh-What are you wearing?" Jun Tianyun stuttered, trying to force out a nervous laugh.
" You have become so thin, Hahaha… you shouldn't scare me like this…"
" Jun Tianyun, please calm down, just be calm…" Zi Yanrou tried to hurry to Jun Tianyun, but her steps staggered.
*RUMBLE! RUMBLE!*
The sky changed its color, dark cloud covered the expanse of blue. The ground tremored slightly, making people think if it was an earthquake.
" Who...Who did this?"
