Extraordinary Demon King Soldier

The more he thought, the heavier Ye Qiu's mood became.

This is like a gamble. If he can find Ge Zhou, then everything would naturally be easier to handle?

However, if he can't find him, it would all be for naught, and Ye Qiu would have to think of other ways.

Continue figuring out a way to find Ge Zhou, or simply give up and think of other ways to restore his strength.

But regardless of whether it's the former or the latter, as long as he can't find Ge Zhou this time, it means Ye Qiu will have to spend more time.

But Ye Qiu really can't afford to waste any more time.

"I just hope luck is on my side. Even if I can't find Ge Zhou, finding some clues would be just as good."

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu calmed down a bit, finished his meal, and then left the restaurant, ready to set out and continue looking for Ge Zhou's whereabouts.

He must make haste.

…

West Mansion City.

Some place on Temple Street.

"Bang!"

A wooden frame of a street stall was flipped over, causing the surrounding people to look over in that direction.

However, once they saw the scene in front of them, they quickly fell silent.

Because what they saw were four or five strong, tattooed men standing in front of a stall.

The wooden frame that had been flipped over was knocked over by these burly men!

As for the identity of these burly men, most people around recognized them, as they were under the notoriously known local group, the Black Tiger Association! Thugs!

No one dared to provoke or intervene with such thugs, as they were a local power, and if anyone provoked them, their lives would not be easy moving forward.

So, the people around just stood aside, watching with apprehension, not daring to approach.

Seeing the crowd's fear, the expressions of the thugs also became more arrogant.

Therefore, looking at the girl running the stall, the leading thug sneered and started questioning her, "You have time to run a stall here, why don't you have time to repay the money?! Your family has owed us for months, you haven't even cleared the interest, are you planning to default?!!"

"Didn't I tell you before, give me a few more days, I will find a way to repay you."

The stall owner was a rather delicate-looking girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old. At this moment, faced with the pressing thugs, her pretty face was somewhat pale, but she still bit her lip and timidly said to the thugs.

"How do we know how many days 'a few days' means, what if you keep delaying day after day?!"

However, these thugs, looking at the girl, sneered and continued to push, "If you don't have what it takes to repay, then you shouldn't have taken our high-interest loan. Your deadbeat dad kept promising to pay us back within a month, and now he's vanished without a trace!!!"

"If you and your mom decide to disappear like your dad, then we won't be able to get our money back, will we?!!"

The leading thug said fiercely, as he stomped on knick-knack jewelry that had scattered on the ground from the overturned stall. He stared at the girl, sneering, with a hint of greed in his eyes, "Of course, if you really can't repay, why not work for us? Selling multiple times a day, you'd pay us back in no time."

Saying this, the leading thug exchanged glances with the other thugs, all exposing sleazy smiles.

Hearing these thugs' voices, the girl was a bit at a loss, very frightened, but didn't dare to resist them.

Because her dad indeed owed the thugs a high-interest loan, documented clearly, they couldn't just refuse to repay.

Thinking about her dad, the girl felt a bit wronged.

Her father had not only taken the high-interest loan from the thugs but the most hateful thing was, he abandoned her and her mother after taking the money and disappeared without a trace.

The only thing he left for them was a note with the words "I'm sorry."

It was precisely because her father acted so irresponsibly that the loan sharks sought them out, wanting them to shoulder the debt and repay it.

If the debt were a small sum, it would be easier to handle; they would just need to top up the funds.

The issue was that the debt was enormous, as much as sixty thousand yuan, and with the typical compounded interest from the loan sharks, when they came demanding payment, it had ballooned into an astronomical two hundred thousand!

Even worse, her irresponsible father had secretly taken all their household savings before vanishing, leaving them without enough money to repay.

Lately, after scrambling to contact every relative and friend they could find, they managed to borrow a little money to pay off what the thugs called 'this month's interest,' which temporarily sent them away.

Of course, the problem didn't end there. In the following days, these thugs kept coming intermittently, harassing them to keep repaying the debt!

But where could they find the money!!!

Her mother already had poor health; her father's disappearance struck a blow to her spirit, leaving her bedridden for days.

And she, in order to lighten the family burden, chose to drop out of school to help at home, barely sustaining their needs.

Originally, a girl like her, eighteen or nineteen years old, should be enjoying school life, happily playing and learning with friends.

But now, she had to face such troubles alone, endlessly harassed by these thugs; her grievance was understandable!

To be honest, she resented her father, but more than hatred, she was terrified of these thugs who came to harass them so often.

She was very afraid that these thugs might actually do something to them, and they might find it hard to resist…

"We're talking to you, pretending not to hear won't work, will it?!!"

Seeing the girl's timid appearance, the greed in the leading thug's eyes grew stronger, his expression fierce, as he found an excuse to reach out a hand toward the girl!
