Chapter 42 Collecting Protection Money
Chapter 42 Collecting Protection Money
Chapter 42 Collecting Protection Fees
The scene in the Mirror of Light suddenly changed, and Cheng Ruyi, the infant and the sect leader of the Hunyuan Sect, saw a very surprising scene through this magical artifact.
(? ○ Д ○)?……
Look at this little baby, Cheng Ruyi! His round body and chubby face are as adorable as if carved from jade. His big, round eyes are clear and bright, like two sparkling gems. His little nose is slightly upturned, giving him a playful look. His rosy lips are always slightly turned up, as if he's smiling all the time.
(?′?`?)
Then look at that elder with gray hair and a perpetually smiling face, who seemed kind and benevolent. However, at this moment, he has transformed into a triad boss and begun committing robbery and plunder.
Watching this scene, Cheng Ruyi blinked her big eyes and muttered to herself, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness. She muttered softly, "This kind of gangster behavior is no fun at all! It's immoral! It will make people dislike our Hunyuan Sect! It will make people think that our Hunyuan Sect is an unreasonable bandit sect that only knows how to kill and plunder! Our Hunyuan Sect's reputation is also very important!"
Normally, this elder was always smiling and approachable. But now, he seemed like a completely different person, becoming so domineering and unreasonable.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
Watching this scene, Cheng Ruyi couldn't help but put her hands to her forehead, her heart filled with a sense of bewilderment and helplessness. She sighed inwardly, "This kind of gangster behavior is truly a disgrace to the reputation of our Hunyuan Sect! Although our Hunyuan Sect should have a certain prestige in the martial arts world, isn't acting like this just making us a laughingstock?"
╮(╯_╰)╭……
This elder was always smiling and kind-looking, but now he turned out to be a local thug. This huge contrast and absurdity left Cheng Ruyi both amused and exasperated.
~( ̄▽ ̄~)~……
This white-haired elder would order other elders to use force to suppress those who didn't pay protection money, and to plunder the treasures of various sects and families.
(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻……
He led the elders of the Hunyuan Sect, running rampant among various sects and forces, demanding protection money.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
He even personally selected the protection money, euphemistically calling it "winning people over with virtue."
(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻……
If the protection money wasn't paid in full, he would ruthlessly order the other elders to continue the violent suppression.
( ̄e( ̄)☆╰╮o( ̄▽ ̄///)
He looked exactly like a gangster boss, perfectly embodying the thuggish nature of a gangster.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
This elder, usually all smiles and kind eyes, seemed so approachable. His current thuggish behavior created a stark contrast, strangely comical, leaving Cheng Ruyi speechless and bewildered. She was conflicted, a mix of frustration and secret satisfaction. Tsk tsk, wasn't she being a bit hypocritical?
╮(╯_╰)╭……
Seeing her sect elder exuding such domineering power and intimidating everyone, Cheng Ruyi couldn't help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction. Cheng Ruyi herself was conflicted about her fickle nature. She considered herself a standard-bearer of double standards.
╮(╯_╰)╭……
However, Cheng Ruyi then felt that this elder's mentality was truly twisted and bizarre. In fact, she herself was quite twisted and hypocritical.
~( ̄▽ ̄~)~……
This kind of hooliganism is really going too far.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
Actually, when she gets ruthless, she's more ruthless and domineering than anyone else! A hypocrite who's both kind and cruel!
ψ(`?′)ψ……
Seeing the elders of her own sect exuding such domineering aura and intimidating everyone, Cheng Ruyi couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
~( ̄▽ ̄~)~……
But then she realized that the elder's behavior was strange.
~( ̄▽ ̄~)~……
Cheng Ruyi thought to herself, this kind of hooligan behavior is really going too far.
╮(╯_╰)╭……
She was conflicted; on one hand, she felt a little proud of the elder's authority, but on the other hand, she was dissatisfied with his behavior. The double standards were terrifying! He switched back and forth between being a devil and an angel!
╮(╯_╰)╭……
Cheng Ruyi secretly decided that after this matter was over, she must have a serious talk with this elder and not let him continue to cause trouble like this.
╮(╯_╰)╭……
Otherwise, the sect's reputation would be affected.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
Cheng Ruyi secretly resolved that after this matter was over, she must have a serious talk with this elder and not let him cause any more trouble. Otherwise, the sect's reputation would be tarnished. She thought to herself, a double standard in her mind. Cheng Ruyi switched between the roles of a cunning green tea and a pure white lotus! Decisive yet compassionate, her dual nature was vividly displayed. She herself was deeply conflicted!
ψ(`?′)ψ……
She thought to herself, "Although the elder's actions seem impressive, they are actually tarnishing the sect's reputation. Our Hunyuan Sect has always adhered to the principles of justice and morality. How can we do such an overbearing and unreasonable thing? As the sect leader, I must find a way to make the elder realize his mistake and correct this bad behavior."
ψ(`?′)ψ……
Cheng Ruyi then thought that if the elders continued like this, it would not only cause other sects and families to feel dissatisfied and fearful of Hunyuan Sect, but it might also cause disputes and conflicts in the martial arts world.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
She was determined to resolve this issue before things escalated. She wanted the elders to understand that the sect's reputation and image were more important than momentary prestige.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
Cheng Ruyi believed that as long as everyone united and upheld justice and morality, Hunyuan Sect would surely become a respected and revered sect in the martial arts world.
ψ(`?′)ψ……
At the same time, she thought that the foundation of a powerful sect is its strength. As the strongest sect, it should be fearless and suppress all obstacles. This is the aura of the strongest sect. As a strong person, if you want to stand at the top, you must spare no effort and have thunderous methods. The strong are always lonely! Invincibility is the ultimate answer for the strong!
