Wang Lie was at the foundation level, and he was set to fight someone at the beginning of the golden core stage.
He was known in these parts for his great ability. However, even for him, that seemed like suicide.
"Guys there must be some other way to make some money." He asked the men in suits standing by his door.
The golden core stage was when your Qi took its next step on the ladder. It was from externalizing Qi to once again internalizing it. However, it was at a much greater density, and it also made it easier to draw energy from the environment.
The men were asking him to risk his life fighting someone who had almost ten times as much energy as him.
"You really couldn't think of a better way?"
The men shook their heads. "Listen, Wang Lie, you're really strong. You'll make quick work of that man. You've never lost before, remember."
All his life Wang Lie had been fightning people at a stage higher than him. When he was at stage 7 in Qi Condensation he fought someone at the eight level. However, he never went above his rank! This was suicide!
"Listen guys. Sorry, but I have a really bad feeling about this," Wang Lie said as he turned around. Behind him was his son staring at him.
"Hi dad, who are your friends?"
Wang Lei gulped. His son's timing was impeccably horrible.
The angry man laughed and drew out their swords. "Hmm, you think you can turn us down?"
He seriously said that in front of Wang Lie's little boy.
Wang Lie turned around as a small dagger shot out of his sleeve at the first of the three men.
The blade flew forward as the three men's muscles tensed. Unfortunately, they were also at the golden core stage. However, they never disclosed that information.
"Boom!"
Three fists collided with one small fist as Lie Wei Ying hovered in front of his dad. He was kind of getting the hang of this flying thing!
"So, I have some golden necklaces for you guys. If you let my dad go, I'll give them to you."
Lie Wei Ying smiled. Behind his back was a giant rock he called [the rock of death!]. It was a little bit silly but he would use it surely!
The men laughed and then Lie Wei Ying used it on one of the evil looking men's skulls.
"Poof!"
They shot back and slammed into carriage in which they road. Three men skidded against the ground after a horse turned in the air stuck on strings.
Lie Wei Ying accidently killed that horse and only got one experience.
"Pew," the three men spit as the boy somehow appeared in front of them.
"Here, one for each of you!"
Lie Wei Ying put the pretty necklaces on the bad men as they looked down with shock! This boy was so terrifying and he even gave them gold necklaces. Was it some kind of thing he did before he killed people.
The system laughed proudly at the terror in their eyes. He could sense it from the boy's eyes. However, he didn't want to say too much about how he saw through Lie Wei Ying's eyes just yet.
"Forgive my dad, and never come back. I'll give you two more necklaces if you do."
The men all nodded and shivered.
In just a few minutes Lie Wei Ying had solved his dad's problem. However, he still had a hundred necklaces left. So, he gave them all to his father.
From that moment on, they would no longer be poor. In fact, they were so rich they didn't know what to do with themselves. So, basically, they just stayed in the same house with a much larger savings account.
Lie Wei Ying, on the other hand, went to sleep as his dad stayed alive this time.
Unfortunately, a few days later they got a message form the grim reaper.
