"So you really came for this!"

Ye Qiu clenched his fist.

Who would've thought that the hard-earned item would become someone else's gift...

Meanwhile, in the inn where the Death God Corps' mercenaries were staying, smiles spread across everyone's faces.

"Haha, what a treasure!"

"Oh Demon King, even you have your day!"

"When he returns and finds it missing, he'll definitely be frantic!"

A group of people proudly admired the half ginseng they had just seized.

They had been watching Ye Qiu since he returned.

Seeing Ye Qiu go out without taking anything with him, they took the chance to steal the ginseng.

This moment, they were beyond pleased!

Who can get something from the Demon King's hands?

Just the thought of it was exhilarating!

"F*ck, keep it down, lest the Demon King realizes the ginseng was stolen by us?"

The leader of the Death God Corps didn't look pleased.

Gazing at this group of unworthy followers, he was furious.

Damn it, whenever the Death God Corps wants something, they take it openly!

Now resorting to theft is already embarrassing, yet these people foolishly boast about it.

Can't they be more discreet?

"Don't worry, boss. Look at the Demon King, he's so arrogant, he barely notices us. He'd never imagine we'd dare to steal his stuff!"

"Exactly! He'd never suspect it was us, not in a million years! Hahaha!"

A few underlings continued their loud laughter, unconstrained.

Listening to them, the leader of the Death God Corps nodded.

What they said made sense.

The Demon King is arrogant and domineering; he'd never think it was them who stole the item...

...

In the street-side inn, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Qiu in bewilderment.

"Hey! Why didn't they steal cash?"

After checking his money.

Completely intact!

Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat puzzled.

"Cash isn't as valuable as what they stole!" Ye Qiu chuckled.

These are thieves with a keen eye; they don't lack money!

"What thing?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was even more speechless, glancing around the room.

In this small room, what could be valuable?

"Nothing!"

Ye Qiu didn't directly mention the ginseng, sniffing twice abruptly.

The scent of blood!

A smell peculiar to mercenaries.

This scent was familiar; he smelled it yesterday...

"Stay here, I'll be back!"

Ye Qiu ordered Lin Xiaoxiao as he hurried downstairs.

After descending, he didn't linger, heading straight to a hotel at the street's entrance.

The Death God Corps mainly stayed there, Ye Qiu's target was precisely them.

The inn was large, located two streets away from where Ye Qiu stayed.

The ground floor was a restaurant, still brightly lit.

Inside sat many mercenary experts, the aroma of wine filling the air.

"How powerful is the Demon King really?"

"Don't know, never saw! Most who witnessed his true strength are already dead!"

"Not necessarily, you could ask God's Blood Cross leader! They confronted him directly!"

The group of experts, satisfied with their drinks, began discussing Ye Qiu.

"I'd love to see just how strong the Demon King is! Seeing is believing, after all!"

"Right, considering most whom the Demon King killed were relatively ordinary figures from various forces, few have truly seen his power!"

A few younger individuals whispered quietly.

Although yesterday the Demon King killed a Death God Corps subordinate in their presence, showcasing his terrifying strength.

Yet that guy's lack of strength and inability to retaliate was understandable.

"I bet much of the Demon King's strength is just exaggerated!"

"Exactly..."

Boom!

As soon as their words fell, the restaurant's door suddenly opened.

Accurately speaking, it was blasted open by a strong force.

With a loud crash, the heavy door flew out, leaving only a shaky doorframe.

In everyone's astonished gaze, Ye Qiu slowly walked in.

His expression was very calm, but his gaze was icy and filled with murderous intent, chilling those around.

Just now, the two discussing Ye Qiu instantly quieted, instinctively lowering their heads.

The restaurant, which was originally bustling with noise, fell utterly silent upon Ye Qiu's arrival.

Not a sound!

The atmosphere instantly felt stifling.

Nearly all the experts were startled by Ye Qiu's gaze.

Horrifying!

Profound!

Glacial!

If looks could kill, everyone present would probably be dead!

Ye Qiu naturally overheard their talks.

But he had no interest in dealing with them now.

Coldly sweeping his eyes over the crowd, seeing them all lower their heads sensibly, Ye Qiu coldly chuckled, heading directly to the second floor.

Above the second floor were all lodging rooms.

All the rooms were currently occupied by the Death God Corps members.

At that moment, there were no other people in the other rooms.

Only a spacious lounge at the corner was still lit, with laughter occasionally emerging.

A crowd was seated in the lounge, their leader at the helm.

"With this item, our Death God Corps' power will be further enhanced!"

"Haha! From now on, who dares bully us..."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to bully you a little!"

Just as they finished speaking, Ye Qiu coldly strode to the doorway.

This sound instantly drew everyone's attention inside.

When they regained their senses, Ye Qiu had already entered the room and locked the door.

"Return the item to me!"

Ye Qiu's eyes blazing, he fiercely glared at the Death God Corps leader holding the ginseng.

This demand left everyone frozen for a moment.

The next second, they all looked confused!

Their eyelids twitched inexplicably, faces showing fear.

Why did the Demon King come here?

They were all puzzled inside.

Originally thinking, even if Ye Qiu searched abroad, he wouldn't suspect them.

Yet now the plot was reversed, the Demon King found them, and so quickly...

Absolutely no reaction time.

"Ma... Master Demon King!"

The leader of the Death God Corps was already pale.

Others might not know Ye Qiu's true strength, but he did!

Even though the room was full of Death God Corps members.

In front of the Demon King, they were like ants, utterly useless...

Helplessly, he sensibly handed the ginseng to Ye Qiu.

"Master Demon King, we were just curious, wanted to borrow it for a look, and would return it right after."

He looked at Ye Qiu, somewhat guilty, hoping Ye Qiu wouldn't erupt...

"I see!" Ye Qiu coldly chuckled, taking the ginseng without hesitation.
