Chapter 327 Satisfaction

Chapter 327 Satisfaction

Xu Xuan put away the remaining powder. When he first sprinkled it on the man, there was no change in his body. However, after a while, the man began to writhe on the ground, his face turning red, and he kept crying out in pain.

"I was wrong, please forgive me."

"I really know I was wrong... Ah!"

"Give me the antidote quickly, please, please give me the antidote."

The man's voice was sharp and unpleasant. At first, he kept begging for mercy, but as he shouted, his voice gradually lowered.

In the end, he couldn't make a sound anymore, and his body was covered in wounds.

An hour later, the man's thrashing body finally stopped, and by then, his body was almost unrecognizable.

The man was already short and fat, and after being exposed to the medicinal powder sprinkled by Xu Xuan, he became so swollen that he was unrecognizable.

Lin Shao and the other five marveled, "The medicine powder that Master's wife concocted is truly amazing!"

Murong Chen, having witnessed the effects of the powder before, showed no surprise.

Then, Lin Shao and the others all turned their gazes to Xu Xuan, chuckling, "Brother Xu Xuan..."

Although he didn't say it aloud, Xu Xuan had already guessed what the others were planning to do, and said, "Don't even think about it."

"I went through a lot of trouble to get this powder. If you want it, go ask He Fei for it yourselves." Besides, He Fei doesn't know about this yet.

"Brother Xu Xuan, don't refuse so quickly. We're friends now, so how about you give us the rest of the powder?"

"No." Xu Xuan carefully protected the last bit of powder, watching the group warily.

Knowing that they had no chance of getting the medicine powder from Xu Xuan, the group shook their heads regretfully.

After a while, the man who had been unconscious from the pain woke up and looked at the group with fear in his eyes, especially when he saw Xu Xuan.

He remembered that it was this person who had just sprinkled the powder on him, making him feel like he was dying.

The man had initially thought that there couldn't possibly be such an exaggerated medicine in the world, and that Xu Xuan was deliberately exaggerating its effects to scare him. But now, the man truly believed it.

Moreover, the man felt that the drug's effects were even more exaggerated than Xu Xuan had initially described; just now, he felt as if many people were punching and kicking him.

The man tried to get up, but the movement aggravated his wounds, and he cried out in pain.

However, after shouting, fearing that his shout would further displease the others, the man immediately shut his mouth. After finally enduring the excruciating pain to get up from the ground, he was kicked back by Xu Xuan.

The man, filled with anger but unable to speak out, looked at the men in front of him with a mixture of fear and pleading, and said, "Will you gentlemen let me go now?"

Lin Shao laughed: "When did I say I was going to let you go?"

The man's eyes widened, and Lin Shao said unhurriedly, "That was just a small lesson for you."

"If you're not satisfied, I have some more medicinal powder here," Xu Xuan said with a smile.

"No, no, no." He never wanted to experience that feeling again. "Satisfied, satisfied, I'm extremely satisfied."

"I'm satisfied." Lin Shao said, "Next, you must do as we instruct. If you do not do even one thing as we say, I guarantee I will make you experience that feeling of being worse than dead again."

The man readily agreed.

"Let me ask you a few questions first," Lin Shao said.

"Sir, please tell me everything I know." The man's face was full of flattery, all traces of his earlier arrogance and smugness gone.

"How many of your Chunxiang Pavilion's employees were trafficked here?"

The man froze. "Sir, why are you asking this?"

"Can you tell me?"

"I'll talk, I'll talk," the man said hesitantly, "at least half."

In fact, even the most beautiful courtesan at Chunxiang Pavilion was a woman from a respectable family who had been abducted.

Suppressing the urge to kill the man outright, the men stood up and said coldly, "Now, take us to Chunxiang Pavilion."

"Ah?" the man asked cautiously, "I wonder what you gentlemen intend to do at Chunxiang?"

After enduring those inhuman ordeals, the man no longer dared to treat the people as mere merchandise.

"Just tell me if you're taking us or not." Xu Xuan had a grin on his face. The man thought that if he dared to say a word of refusal... Thinking of the remaining medicine powder on Xu Xuan's body, the man shuddered and said, "I'll take you."

The man secretly hoped that perhaps these men only wanted to go to Chunxiang Pavilion for pleasure.

The man, trembling with fear, led a few people to Chunxiang Pavilion.

Upon arriving at Chunxiang Pavilion, Lin Shao had a man lead them in through a side door.

When the waiter at Chunxiang Pavilion first saw the man, he didn't recognize him. He just felt that the man looked familiar. After staring at him for a long time, he patted his head and exclaimed, "Brother Shitou, what's wrong with you?"

The man's nickname was Stone, and the people at Chunxianglou also called him Stone.

After the servant finished speaking, he saw Lin Shao and the others behind Shi Tou and stared at them, asking, "Brother Shi Tou, where did you get these guys from?"

Shi Tou glared at the servant, cursing the tactless fellow in his heart. However, because he had people following him, he was afraid that he might say something that would anger them. So he simply said to the servant, "Don't worry about where I brought these people from. This is none of your business. You can go now."

The servant dared not anger Stone, and could only leave regretfully.

Not long after the servant left, another woman appeared in the distance, swaying her body and clutching a handkerchief in her hand. As soon as she came over, she reeked of perfume, and her face was covered in even more powder, making one worry that it might fall off her face.

The woman was the madam of Chunxiang Pavilion. The first thing she noticed was not Shi Tou, but Lin Shao and his group behind him. Their eyes, so small they were almost invisible, seemed to glow with a green light.

"Stone, is this the shipment you brought back?"

Just as Shi Tou was about to speak, Xu Xuan gave him a wink, signaling him to follow the madam's lead. Shi Tou had no choice but to say, "Yes, and there are two more. Madam, are you satisfied?"

The madam kept scrutinizing the seven people, her eyes shining as if they weren't human, but rather stacks of silver notes.

"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied." The madam nodded, her face powder flakes off, and said happily, "Stone, you've done a great service this time. Go to the accounting office to collect your reward later."

"Okay." Stone was inwardly groaning, but he couldn't say anything. If he said something he shouldn't, these people could really kill him on the spot.
