1017 The Gold and Money Bandits

Shortly after Yuan's group left to exchange treasures, the bodyguards that had remained at the hotel watched from the windows as Yuan and the others disappeared from the scene.

"Those nuisances have finally left." The female bodyguard sneered.

"Should we do it now? This is the best time. That little bastard with too much power for someone at his age and level is gone, as well as the array master and even Huang Chen and his daughter. Nobody here can stop us now," said one of the male bodyguards.

"I don't know… This seems a little too easy… Not to mention whatever just happened. Something about all of this doesn't sit right with me," said a different bodyguard.

"Who cares! We can kill the woman and the kid and rob them of all of their treasures long before they will be able to do anything about it!" The female bodyguard showed a grim smile on her face.

"I say we should do it as well. I doubt there will be another chance like this."

"What about that other bodyguard? He might cause us some trouble."

"I can handle him," said the female bodyguard with a suggestive expression on her face.

In the end, these bodyguards decided to finally execute their plan by robbing the Huang Family.

These three bodyguards actually knew each other before they got hired by the Huang Family, as they all belonged to a renowned gang that was infamous for their vicious deeds and brutal nature.

The Gold and Money Bandits— they were a group of lawless cultivators that would dare to rob and kill even mortals, something only evil cultivators would do.

In fact, there were even more of these bandits at the bodyguard recruitment, but most of them had been disqualified and only these three had managed to pass.

They had planned on robbing the Huang Family when they were still at sea, but Yuan did not give them any chance, and when they saw how powerful he actually was, they decided to delay their plans until they could find an opportunity to rob the Huang Family.

Now that they have finally encountered that opportunity, they were enticed to finally execute their plans and rob the Huang Family.

Meanwhile, a few minutes after they left the hotel, Huang Chen revealed the whole situation to Dong Zhou, who had been kept in the dark until now.

"What?! Those bodyguards harbor ill intentions?! Are you sure this is accurate information?!" Dong Zhou doubted this information, mostly because he didn't want to believe that he had accidentally recruited bandits to be their bodyguards, as he could be held responsible for this blunder.

"It's true. I wasn't certain at first, but after watching them for some time, I can say with certainty that they are bandits. Their bodies reeked of blood and their eyes are filled with greed. Do you remember when we were attacked in the ship? I believe they were working together since they all gave off the same aura."

"Yuan wouldn't lie to us! He risked his life fighting the Flying Leviathan, too!" Huang Xiao Li backed him up.

Dong Zhou frowned and said, "If what you say is true, then isn't it incredibly dangerous and reckless to leave the Madam and the Young Master alone with them?! We're basically giving them to those bastards on a silver platter!"

"If we didn't leave, they would not act. I also wanted to prove to all of you that they are not what they seem. Don't worry, I won't let them touch even a hair on the Huang Family."

"What the hell can you do when you're here with us?! This is madness!" Dong Zhou exclaimed.

"I trust him." Huang Chen suddenly said.

"A-Are you serious, Master Huang? What if he's only doing this to mislead us? What if he's actually working with those bandits?!"

Yuan smiled after hearing his words and said in a calm voice, "Do you really think I need to make such an elaborate plan just to rob the Huang Family? Have you not seen what I am capable of? If I want to rob you guys, I wouldn't need to pretend to be a bodyguard and wait until you lower your guard, much less come all the way out here and risk my life fighting the Flying Leviathan. If I truly wanted to rob you guys, I would've done so before we boarded the ship, and none of you would've be able to stop me."

Dong Zhou swallowed nervously when he called how Yuan had killed multiple Spirit Emperors with a single strike.

"Sorry… I was just talking out of my ass just now…" Dong Zhou sighed out loud.

Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the direction of the hotel.

"Let's return. They're finally moving," he said to them.

Back at the hotel, the female bandit approached Qin Kai and started flirting with him.

"I have been wanting to speak with you for a while now, but I didn't get any chance. You know, I love men with muscles, and when I first saw you, I knew right away that I wanted you. You're the reason I even decided to become a bodyguard for the Huang Family."

Qin Kai swallowed nervously after hearing her words.

"Seriously?"

The female bandit was actually quite attractive, and Qin Kai had little to no experience when it comes to women, making him an easy target.

"Let's go elsewhere to talk, shall we?" She winked at him.

"S-Sure…" Qin Kai followed her to another room.

Once the other two bandits saw this, they smiled and turned their focus to the room with the mother and wife.

"Let's go."

The two of them quietly approached the room.

Once they were close enough, one of them tried to open the door in a sneaky manner.

When the bandit couldn't feel any resistance from the door, the smile on his face widened.

"Ready?"

"Of course."

The bandit immediately opened the door, and the two of them entered the room before closing it again.

"W-What are you two doing in here?! I don't remember calling either of you!" The mother said to them with a frown on her face.

"Don't worry, we'll leave you alone once we take all of your treasures and kill you," said one of the bandits.

"You what?!"

"The Gold and Money Bandits, have you heard of us?"

"The mother's eyes widened with shock after hearing that name.

"I see… So you became our bodyguards just to steal from us, huh. We should've been more diligent when recruiting bodyguards, but we were in a rush."

"Then you can only blame yourself."

"Ah, I would love to enjoy my time with you before killing you, but we're short on time, so I am just going to kill you."

They retrieved their weapons.

However, the mother managed to calm down, and she even smiled, "What a pity."

"A pity indeed."

One of the bandits suddenly rushed forward while swinging his dagger, but before he could reach the mother, he felt a burst of pain in his chest, forcing him to look down.

"What the fuck…?" He muttered in a dumbfounded voice when he saw that a hole had mysteriously appeared in his chest.

Thud.

The bandit fell to the floor and died before he could even realize what had happened to him.

The other bandit stood there with a dazed look on his face as his eyes stared at his companion's lifeless body on the floor. Despite seeing everything that had just happened, he still couldn't comprehend the situation.

The door behind him suddenly opened, and a figure calmly walked into the room.

"Are you okay? Madam Huang?" Yuan asked her with a calm smile on his face.

"Y-You are… How in heaven's name…" The bandit was shocked when he saw Yuan standing right beside him.

"Did you really think that I wouldn't notice the way you idiots looked at the Huang Family? When you look at them, you only see money and profit, and it reminds me of a certain miserable couple." Yuan sneered in a cold voice.

"Senior Huang. Xiao Li. What do you think? Is this enough proof?" He asked them, who were standing right behind the bandit with deep frowns on their faces.

"Yes, this is more than enough proof. Thank you very much, Yuan. You have saved our family yet again." Huang Chen said.

It was at this moment the female bandit and Qin Kai came out of their room after hearing the commotion.

"W-What is happening?!" Qin Kai exclaimed with a shocked look on his face when he saw the incomprehensible situation.

As for the female bandit, she was simply speechless.
