Chapter 147: The Payback Time

Translator: Udong Editor: Waffles

“Dead, all dead… Demon Fighter Glan is dead, the powerful mage Gleen Pan is dead… Even the Bloodline Warrior Cage is dead…”

Like a pile of mud, Caeller sat on the ground softly as if he had no bones. Grey and devastation filled his eyes as he felt hopeless. All the elite forces from Cae Family were all gone in two days…all gone…

“In this second duel between Roll Family and Cae Family, the Guardian of Roll Family, Qian Jin, won!” Sabonis’ loud voice resonated in the yard, “Next, the final duel of the day shall proceed. Warriors and mages from both side, please come down to the battle ring.”

All the warriors behind Caeller looked at each other and pushed each other. In the end, all of them started to move backward as a whole. These warriors also stared at the only mage in their circle and saw the mage slowly backing off as well.

“Are you kidding?” They all thought. Qian Jin was able to kill a Bloodline Warrior cruelly even though he knew the warrior was a disciple of Zene Skylar. “Won’t he kill me easily if I go up?” When Mage Mece looked at Qian Jin, he had a strange feeling, “This young man with the Zhanmadao in his hands looks like a Demon Beast that is guarding its baby infants in the wild; when if it was facing a powerful beast hunter, it will risk its life to protect the infants behind it.”

Gabriella was still fainted, and Qian Jin was standing in the battle ring alone with the Zhanmadao that turned the warm sunshine into chilling lights by reflecting it off of its blade.

Sabonis’ attention returned to the people that represented Cae Family. Some of their warriors had backed out of the gate already; these warriors would fight until death on the Human-Demon Battlefront because they knew it was an honor to die there! But if they die here, there was no honor or glory in that at all.

“So no one is willing to go?” Sabonis asked a question that even he thought as meaningless. He raised his hand again and announced, “Ok then. The three duels between Roll Family and Cae Family shall end with Roll Family winning all three.”

“Mr. Caeller, you still remember our bet, right?” Qian Jin looked down at Caeller’s eyes as he asked calmly, “I don’t think Cae Family is poor enough to deny the bet, right? After all, Mr. Mayor was our witness.”

Caeller lowered his head sub-consciously then his eyes met Qian Jin’s. Without the protection from Bloodline Warrior Cage and Mage Gleen Pan, he was no different than a weak ant in front of Qian Jin. From his expression, people couldn’t see the arrogance and dominating presence he had yesterday when he came for a visit and ordered his henchmen to kick open the gate; he didn’t look like the man at the wheel for the branch of the Cae Family in Oakland.

“I don’t have that much money…” When Caeller said that with his head lowered, he felt like he couldn’t breathe normally. He inhaled forcefully twice and felt like talking was this difficult for the first time in his life.

“Money? Do you think I’m asking for money?”

Qian Jin’s facial expression was still very calm, as if he was talking with an old friend on the side of the street. But he raised his leg and stomped at Caeller’s head at the next moment. The last bit of life inside Caeller was gone instantly.

Qian Jin was here for revenge. Since Caeller didn’t have the money, then he would go to Cae Family for the money. After all, the mayor of Oakland was the witness of the bet, and he didn’t think the family would let go of their reputation and deny it. In terms of Caeller? Caeller’s comedown didn’t bring Qian Jin any joy. Even if Caeller was kneeling on the ground crying and begging for mercy, Qian Jin would feel annoyed rather than mental thrill and satisfaction.

Everything for him here was the duel and taking payback. Since the duel was over, he would naturally take Caeller’s life since his name was in the “accounting book”.

If Qian Jin didn’t want to clear up and finalize the financial ties and paybacks, he won’t even talk to Caeller.

There wasn’t any painful screams or whines, and there weren’t any threats that people would give at the last moment of their lives, such as “I won’t let you live easily even if I become an undead!” or “I’m the disciple or the son or the descendant of some influential or powerful character.” There was only a series of bone cracking and breaking noises followed by the muffled noise of the corpse hitting the ground, and the scene of Caeller’s corpse being dragged on the ground.

Caeller was dead was well. At the moment of death, Sabonis’ eyes twitched a little, and the warriors and the mage from Cae Family all instantly felt a chill going down their spines.

“This Qian Jin…” A thousand types of emotion rushed to Sabonis’ mind. “This Qian Jin is too clean! He is already a level 5 Demon Fighter at this age, and he is already able to suppress Cage who was in his Thunder Cat Bloodline Battle Form and kill Cage with one punch; he didn’t leave his opponent with any chance of getting stronger in the future and come to him for revenge. I’m better off treating him and the Roll Family nicely, and I hope I don’t have to become an enemy of his. Even if I want to get rid of him, my own strength and my henchmen would be harmed to a great degree.”

“Congratulation, congratulations.” Sabonis walked out of the mourning hall and laughed as he looked at Qian Jin. “If one day Mr. Qian Jin wants to go to Cae Family to get the reward of the bet, I would definitely come as a witness.”

Qian Jin nodded. He was going to get the money no matter what it takes. Since the situation was already at this stage, his brain would be not functioning if he thought there would be peace between the two families as long as he didn’t ask for the money from the bet. The hatred between foes was hard to resolve once it was there, and the only way for this hate to be gone was the disappearance of one party in this relationship.

It was the same thing between people, between families, and between countries. Otherwise, why do the humans and the demons fight for numerous years without taking a break?

After Sabonis left, the people from Cae Family also took the corpses of their people and quickly left.

Fabreidis looked at Qian Jin who was very courageous and upright as he sighed. “Wasn’t I the same when I was young? After I suffered many losses and took many beatings, I gradually stopped being so impulsive. If I help him to take on some of the pressure, he probably won’t act this way then he grows up more and gets more mature.” He thought.

“Qian Jin, you killed Cage which was equivalent to murdering the Cae Family’s hope of developing more and getting stronger. You have killed their top warriors and mage, and you might encounter the assassins who they will pay a lot for. Cage’s death would trigger them to risk everything to kill you.” Fabriedis said with a worried expression: “Zene Skylar would also not let this go easily after he knows about it, and the Mage Union behind Gleen Pan…”

Qian Jin looked at the coffin that was resting in the mourning hall and said lightly: “What else should I do? Let Cage live? Let him get stronger so he can come back and duel me again? If I didn’t kill Cage, would they let the Roll Family go? If I didn’t kill Caeller, would Rollin jump down from the stars and revive?”

Lights started to flash in Fabreidis’ calming eyes. “Could it be that Qian Jin isn’t naïve and impulsive? And I put too much weight on maturity and forgot the courage and the uprightness of a warrior?” He thought.

“Let’s find a doctor first.” Gomez Jane who had the fainted Gabriella in her arms interrupted the conversation about who was right and who was wrong.

“I will go.”

Rosella quickly rushed out of the yard and brought back a female doctor very soon.

Qian Jin realized that Rosella was very thoughtful. Gleen Pan’s fireball hit Gabriella on the body, and the doctor had to strip away some of her clothes to see what harm the fireball had done.

If Rosella found a male doctor, then before this doctor could take off some of Gabriella’s clothes, Gloria would open her eyes and reward the doctor with a series of burning fireballs until he was burnt to ashes.

“The injuries done are not severe.” The female doctor took out a prescription and gave it to Rosella who was waiting outside. “Get these herbs and boil them together in a pot.”

“Let me see.” Fabreidis took the prescription from Rosella’s hand. He then took the pen from the female doctor and started to write on the prescription as he said, “Although I’m not great at being a doctor, I’m better than them in terms of giving prescriptions to curing the injuries based on the severity.

Gomez Jane nodded. The warriors who had gone through numerous fights usually had their own ways of self-help. Especially in the field of herb prescriptions, normal doctors couldn’t match up to them.

“Ok…” Fabreidis was handing the revised prescription to Rosella, but Qian Jin reached out and grabbed it from Fabreidis’ hand. He read it over and said, “So some of the fire energy got into her heart and lungs. Glad that the harm it did isn’t huge. I got it.”

Qian Jin put the prescription that Fabreidis revised into his pocket and said, “This prescription has a slow recovering speed, and it isn’t very good for supplementation as well. Just use mine.”

After he said that, he grabbed onto Rosella’s hand and walked towards a building at the back as he asked, “Is there an herb storage room here?” He didn’t even pay attention to other people’s reactions.

“Yeah, this way…..”

The two of them chatted as they walked away. Fabreidis, Gomez Jane, and the female doctor were all stunned. “What is going on? How could Qian Jin who is very young know about pharmaceuticals? Does he want to use the basic knowledge he learned from the classes from school to prepare the medicine for Gabriella?”

The herb storage of the Roll Family was decently sized. There were four big rooms; three of them were for herb storage, and the last one was a fully equipped preparation room.

As soon as Qian Jin enter the rooms, he got very busy. He grabbed herbs from each of the drawers continuously and grabbed some of the herbs that he got from the Four Season Valley from his Warrior Dimension. After two years of studying Pharmaceuticals with Adams and with the help from [Memory Potion], the title of a Top-tier Pharmacist, he was only one step away from Adams’ title of Pharmacy Master.

If it was only in terms of giving out prescriptions, Qian Jin was confident that he was better than anyone in the mourning hall.

Rosella stared at Qian Jin who was running around in curiosity. Qian Jin was dicing the herbs into a fine powder, grinding some animal’s fur into powders, and mixing them together in some kind of proportion. Rosella had seen nothing like this when she was getting a prescription from a pharmacy.

“Other pharmacists would boil all these herbs together.” Rosella got more confused as she watched Qian Jin more. “What is going on, Qian Jin? Why are you grinding everything into a powder, and why did you use more than thirty ingredients? The doctor only had seven ingredients on her list.”

“Ok!” Qian Jin lifted a bowl filled with a light yellow potion from the table and handed it over to Rosella. “Take this to Gabriella and let her drink it. I will create another potion as a supplement to her recovery.” He said.

When Rosella took this bowl to the mourning hall, the three people there stared at the bowl and doubted, “Would this liquid really work if she drinks it?”
