Chapter 720 - 716: Getting Old Nine Out

Hearing An Dongyang’s guarantee, Old Nine’s men were immediately put at ease.

The black market had been in chaos recently. Because of the last incident, their reputation had taken a hit, and no one dared to come and sell their goods anymore.

They hadn’t made any money in a long time.

Mr. Jiu had always handled the black market’s affairs, but now that he was inside, the place was in such disarray that there was no one to even call the shots.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Old Nine to come back.

After An Dongyang left, the men saw him out.

Before they could go back inside, they saw a beautiful woman approaching from the other direction.

They recognized her. She was the woman Mr. Jiu had taken a fancy to before.

They hadn’t seen her in a while, and she had grown even more alluring. When her seductive eyes looked at someone, it was as if they had hooks, ready to snatch away their very soul.

As a bunch of thugs who lived recklessly and without principles, they were instantly captivated by the sight of such a stunning beauty.

The boldest among them stepped forward and, without a word, groped Xu Wenwan’s waist.

Xu Wenwan suppressed her disgust and pushed his hand away.

"Stop that. What are you doing in front of everyone?"

Although they were words of rejection, they were laced with a bewitching charm that ignited the desires of a man who hadn’t been with a woman in a long time.

The man’s voice was hoarse. "Are you here for Mr. Jiu? He’s not around."

As it happened, Xu Wenwan was in luck. She had previously absorbed Mr. Jiu’s good fortune and had also taken the luck of two other unfortunate souls along the way.

Those two unlucky fellows already had poor fortune to begin with, and they had done plenty of bad deeds. After losing what little luck they had, they were plagued by misfortune. Not long ago, one of them wasn’t paying attention on his way home, fell into a ditch, and broke his leg.

The other one was drunk on his way back when a tile fell from a roof and smashed him on the head, leaving a hole. Both of them were now at home recovering.

Generally speaking, a person who had their luck stolen wouldn’t be this unfortunate. At worst, they’d have a couple of bad days before things returned to normal. It’s just that without the blessing of good fortune, things wouldn’t go as smoothly for them. A destiny that was meant for some success would become utterly ordinary.

But those two subordinates of Old Nine had a bit of good luck, but they had also done so many bad things that they’d accumulated a lot of misfortune. Normally, their good fortune kept the bad luck suppressed, but once their luck was gone, they were overwhelmed by misfortune. It would have been strange if they *hadn’t* been unlucky.

When Xu Wenwan absorbed someone’s luck, she didn’t care about any of this, nor did she care if they were a good person. She had only one goal: to feed her system.

Now, her playing hard to get was making them all antsy. The man groped Xu Wenwan again, and when he saw she didn’t refuse, he grew even bolder and pulled her into the courtyard.

He bolted the gate.

Then he dragged her into the house.

Inside the house were a dozen or so men. The air was thick with the smell of smoke. When a delicate beauty like Xu Wenwan was dragged in, all their eyes immediately locked onto her.

Her face, her figure... she was a hundred times more beautiful than any woman they had ever seen.

’If they didn’t feel a thing for a woman of this caliber, they might as well be dead.’

"Lao Er, where did you find this woman?"

Most of the men here had never seen Xu Wenwan before, so of course, they didn’t recognize her.

Lao Er didn’t bother explaining. He just squeezed Xu Wenwan’s waist, his voice thick with lust. "Brothers, you’re in for a treat today. This little vixen delivered herself right to our doorstep."

His words stunned everyone.

They had been fantasizing, of course, but a woman this beautiful was clearly out of their league. ’But what Lao Er just said... doesn’t that mean exactly what we think it means?’

Instantly, their gazes grew even more intense.
