Chapter 326 Pain Powder

Chapter 326 Pain Powder

"Don't try to scare me. Let me tell you, I work for Chunxianglou. If you let me go now, I might consider letting you go." The man was used to being arrogant and domineering because of Chunxianglou's influence, but he hadn't realized the situation he was in.

Seeing that the group still didn't move, the man assumed they didn't know about Chunxiang Pavilion and said, "Don't you know about Chunxiang Pavilion?"

The man continued smugly, "Let me tell you, we at Chunxiang Pavilion know countless high-ranking officials and nobles. If you dare to do anything to me, you'll be in deep trouble."

"If I let you go now, will you stop causing trouble for us?" Lin Shao feigned hesitation on his baby face, as if he had really been persuaded by the man.

“Of course.” The man nodded and said, “So you’d better let me go quickly.”

As he spoke, the man secretly glanced at the group, his eyes filled not only with fear but also with greed and an unwavering determination.

Just a few days ago, a big customer had grown tired of the courtesan at Chunxiang Pavilion. All five of them were more beautiful than the courtesan, and the big customer was indiscriminate in his interest in both men and women.

These five top-quality goods will surely satisfy that big customer, and the madam will reward him with a lot of money.

He said that as long as they released him, he wouldn't hold them accountable, but that was just a delaying tactic. Once he was safe, the first thing he would do was to get his hands on these guys and teach them a lesson.

And those two extra people, although they are men, are no less capable than these five. They'll be together then...

"What if you lie to us?" Lin Shao said.

"I would never lie to you," the man said confidently. "I promise you."

"But what if we don't believe your guarantee?"

“As long as you…” the man began, but then he noticed the mocking expression on Lin Shao’s face, and suddenly realized what was happening. He glared angrily at Lin Shao: “Are you playing me?!”

Lin Shao feigned surprise and said, "You actually saw through me. That's right, I was just playing you."

"You want us to release you? No way!"

The man's face turned a deep shade of liver with rage, and he said furiously, "I'm telling you, if you don't let me go, I'll make sure you regret it."

"Have you forgotten something?" Shangguan Ying looked at the man and said mockingly, "You're in our hands now, you're our prisoner. Even if we don't let you go, it'll be us who won't let you go. So where did you get the audacity to say those things just now?"

The man's confidence came from Chunxianglou, because Chunxianglou's goods were all of good quality and were very popular with those big shots. So even if Chunxianglou wasn't very clean, those big shots still protected Chunxianglou. As long as they heard that he was from Chunxianglou, they would give him more leeway.

But now that he's gone this far, these people still won't let him go. Aren't they afraid of his revenge?

The man's expression changed several times before he threatened again, "I'm telling you this one last time, release me now, or I... I'll kill you all."

"I'm so scared." She said this, but there was no fear on her face. Looking at the man, she said with great interest, "Come on, let's stand here. I'm very curious, how do you plan to kill us?"

The man hadn't expected him to ask such a question, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "In short, if you don't let me go, I'll make sure you know what it means to regret it."

Lin Shao said, "But after all this talk, I don't see how you're trying to make us regret it."

"Maybe we'll let you go after you make us regret it."

The man was seething with hatred, and at the same time, he couldn't help but regret that he should have brought more men with him today, so that he wouldn't be a prisoner now.

The man pondered for a moment, then put on a slightly ingratiating smile and asked, "What will it take for you to let me go?"

"As long as you let me go, I'll give you anything you want."

"I see..." Shangguan Ying said, "What if we wanted your life?"

The man's smile vanished instantly, and he said, "You...you're joking."

"My life is worthless. If you want money, I'll give it to you."

The man finally started to panic. He had said so much, tried both soft and hard tactics, but these people still wouldn't budge. Did they really want his life?

Liu Yubai suddenly twitched her nose, then immediately covered it, frowning as she asked Lin Shao and the others, "Can you smell anything?"

After Liu Yubai covered his nose, Murong Chen also felt a stench. Looking down at the man's crotch, he saw that the ground beneath him was mostly wet, and his pants were stained with dark urine.

Not only Murong Chen, but everyone else noticed too. Xu Yun'er's lips twitched. "No way, just a few words and this guy actually peed his pants in fear? Is he even a man?"

Seeing the disgusted looks on their faces, the man panicked even more and lost his composure: "If you... if you don't let me go, you'll be in big trouble when the madam finds out I'm missing."

The group had wanted to beat the man up earlier, but after he wet his pants, they felt uneasy.

"Brother, you should go," Lin Shao said to Lin Junyuan.

"No." Lin Junyuan took a step back in disgust: "This is something you, younger brother, should do."

“No,” Lin Shao said. “As the older brother, you must avenge your younger brother.”

The two brothers talked for a long time, but neither of them wanted to go. They looked at the other people, and they were all disgusted with each other.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Yubai said. "We can't just let him go like this, can we?"

"Of course not." After saying that, Lin Shao was already racking his brains trying to figure out how to teach this person a lesson.

“I have a way.” Xu Xuan took out a medicine packet from his body and said, “This is an interesting thing I got from He Fei.”

"What is this? What is it used for?"

Xu Xuan smiled mysteriously, "This is a new pain powder that He Fei made. As long as it is sprinkled on a person, it will make them feel the pain of being punched and kicked by dozens of people. What's even more amazing is that after the pain, the same kind of wounds as being beaten by dozens of people will appear."

He had finally managed to get this from He Fei. Xu Xuan walked towards the man, who, having heard Xu Xuan's words, kept backing away, saying, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm telling you, if you dare to do anything to me..." Before he could finish speaking, the powder had already been sprinkled on the man.
