Chapter 107 Usury

was still a breath of life left in someone, Xia Tian could save them.Now they wanted to test the truth of this statement. If Xia Tian truly had such miraculous medical skills and could indeed revive P...Chapter 109: Paper Money Penetrating Walls Just as the purple-haired少女had left, another dozen people rushed out. They quickly approached the middle-aged man and glared at Xia Tian and the others without speaking, seemingly waiting for his command.

"Hua Zi, take two people to send them to the hospital first." The middle-aged man waved his hand.

"Yes, Boss Long," one person responded, calling out to two others who quickly carried the eight unconscious people into several vehicles and sped away from the car shop.

"I’m Ma Feilong." The middle-aged man looked at Xia Tian. "Little brother, you have quite impressive skills; how should I address you"

“Oh, so you’re that guy who lends money at high interest!” Xia Tian rolled his eyes. “You don’t look too great!”

"Kid, speak politely!" Ma Feilong’s subordinate barked, but as soon as he finished speaking, the man flew into the air with a loud bang and another car was smashed.

Ma Feilong's expression changed slightly: "Little brother, isn’t your action a bit too harsh"

"I’ve already been quite gentle," Xia Tian said lazily. "I somewhat regret being too light-handed; if I had acted more forcefully earlier and eliminated Ma Xiongbing directly, I wouldn't have to come looking for you today."

"Ma Xiongbing" Ma Feilong frowned slightly. "Little brother, is there some misunderstanding between us"

"What are you pretending not to know for" Summer said with disdain, "Didn't Ma Xiongbing give you the promissory note of Tian Xiaoya's high-interest loan Right, all the losses today are his fault. So go and ask him for compensation."

Tian Xiaoya

Upon seeing Tian Xiaoya, Mai Feilong finally remembered who she was. It turned out that this matter had something to do with her. In reality, even though Tian Xiaoya had borrowed the high-interest loan here, it wasn't Mai Feilong himself who had personally handled the transaction. As a result, although he had met her before, his impression of her wasn't particularly strong. If Summer hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have recalled.

"Brother Long, repaying debts is a matter of course. I am willing to return you the principal of 200,000 yuan, but regarding the interest, I hope Brother Long will understand my situation," Tian Xiaoya said at this moment. She still didn't want to completely alienate Mai Feilong as she herself had no powerful backing and Summer couldn't stay by her side indefinitely.

"Miss Tian, money is now a trivial matter; however, your people have destroyed my car shop. Can you give me an explanation" Mai Feilong said in a stern voice.

"Then, Brother Long, what would you like to do about it" Tian Xiaoya asked.

"Miss Tian, what do you think should be done" Mai Feilong countered with a question.

"Why are you two talking so much nonsense" Summer interjected indignantly. "Hand over the promissory note to me right now and go find Ma Xiongbing for your losses. Tell him that Xia Tian is making him compensate for them, and if he refuses, I'll visit him in the middle of the night!"

"Young Brother, don't you think you're overstepping" Mai Feilong frowned slightly. Clearly, he hadn’t heard of Summer’s name before. This was normal since while quite a few people in Jianghai City knew about Xia Tian, more were unaware of him.

"Who's your brother" Xia Tian sniffed. "You're not going to give me the IOU, right"

"As long as Miss Tian can repay her debt in full, I will naturally give her the IOU," Mai Feilong said with a solemn face. For many years, it had always been the high-interest loan borrowers who pleaded with him; he'd never been threatened by someone borrowing from him before. Xia Tian's threatening tone naturally made him very uncomfortable. If not for Xia Tian being exceptionally good at fighting, he would have long ago sent Xia Tian out with his legs broken.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do" Sun Tianyu couldn't help but get a bit anxious seeing Mai Feilong still maintaining this attitude.

"Or should we just take him out" Xia Tian looked at Sun Xinxin and asked for her opinion.

Sun Xinxin hurriedly shook her head. "No, no! Xia Tian, please don't let anyone get hurt!"

"Does this mean I can only use threats again" Xia Tian scratched his head. He now felt that relying on threats wasn’t very reliable; it was after threatening Ma Xiongbing last time that they ended up with the current mess. If he had just taken care of Ma Xiongbing then and there, they wouldn't have this trouble now.

"Brother-in-law, you should scare him like you scared Ma Xiongbing," Tian Xiaoya couldn’t help but suggest; she herself had seen Xia Tian’s terrifying strength. She didn’t believe that Mai Feilong would still dare to cause trouble knowing Xia Tian was so powerful.

"Alright!" Xia Tian took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and looked at Mai Feilong. "Hey, you want money, right I'll give it to you now!"

He held the paper note between two fingers, then casually flicked it upward, sending the bill flying not towards Mai Feilong but instead towards the wall behind him.

"Damn, I thought it was a check, turns out it's just one hundred dollars..." A little brother behind Mai Feilong walked to the wall and muttered angrily after taking a glance. However, in the next second, he let out an astonished scream, "Ah... How is this possible"

The little brother glanced at Xia Tian once with a terrified expression and then called out urgently towards Mai Feilong: "Brother Long, Brother Long, come look quickly..."

"What's so shocking about it…" Mai Feilong frowned as he walked over in an obviously unhappy mood. But before he could finish his sentence, he was like he had seen a ghost and stared at the hundred-dollar bill with an incredibly pale face.

"How is this possible..." Mai Feilong muttered to himself while staring at the banknote with disbelief.

“Am I dreaming”

“Is it real Is that really money”

“It must be a hallucination…”

A dozen people gathered around the wall, each of them wearing a look of disbelief. On the contrary, Tian Xiaoya and Sun Tianyu were looking at each other in confusion, clueless about what was going on.

"How about it If you guys can get that money down from there, I'll give you the money. But if you fail to do so, don't come back to bother us again! Otherwise, I’ll smash your head with money!" Xia Tian's last sentence had a slightly nouveau riche flavor to it. Of course, he meant killing someone with a penny rather than just smacking them like what most nouveau riches would do.

If it were in the past, when Ma Feilong heard someone say that money could kill him, he would definitely find it laughable. As the biggest high-interest lender in Jianghai City, although his wealth couldn't compare to super-rich individuals, it was still enough for a luxurious and comfortable life. Even if others had more money than him, they couldn't boss him around with it.

But seeing that hundred-dollar bill on the wall made him unable to laugh. If that piece of paper had slashed across his throat or nailed into his head just now, he would definitely be dead by now; he could clearly see that one-third of the banknote was embedded in the wall!

Mafeilong tried to pull the banknote out with his hand, but it didn't budge at all.

"Move aside, move aside!" Xia Tian pushed everyone away and casually plucked the bill from where it was stuck with just two fingers. This made Mafeilong and others feel shocked once again.

Seeing Mafeilong's dazed expression, Xia Tian felt displeased: "Hey, are you not going to give me the IOU"

"Yes, I'll give it right away!" Mafeilong finally snapped back into reality. “Please wait a moment while I fetch the IOU."

Mafeilong no longer hesitated and hurriedly went back to his office inside to retrieve Xiao Yajia's IOU. Originally, two years ago, he had already received money from Ma Xiongbing and given him the IOU. But unexpectedly, Ma Xiongbing kept this IOU all along. Yesterday, Ma Xiongbing kindly returned it to Mafeilong and said that he could continue to collect debts from Xiao Yajia.

Mafeilong had someone look into Xiao Yajia's background and found out she was worth at least a few million yuan. Such an unexpected fortune wouldn't be easily passed up by Mafeilong, but he didn't know that it would bring him trouble with Xia Tian, such a terrifying figure.

For Mafeilong, this sum of money was originally an unexpected windfall; if he could get it easily, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate. But if obtaining the money meant offending such a powerful enemy in advance, then he would rather not have it. Money might be good, but you still need to be alive to spend it, and Mafeilong understood this well.

Although Max Feilong was a member of the street racing community and wasn't particularly afraid of death, he didn't see dying for something that wasn't worth it as a good reason. If he died while racing with someone, he would feel it was worthwhile, but dying over money that wasn't even his to begin with seemed too pitiful.

Max Feilong quickly reappeared and handed the IOU to Tian Xiaoya: "Miss Tian, take a look at this. If everything is confirmed okay, please destroy it."

Tian Xiaoya nodded, carefully checked it over, confirming that it was indeed her promissory note before immediately taking out a lighter and burning the IOU.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xia Tian's mood improved; sometimes, threats could be quite effective.

Since the matter had been resolved, Xia Tian pulled Sun XinXin to leave. However, after only a few steps, he remembered something and turned back to look at Max Feilong: "Hey, do loan sharks like Ma Xiongbing have it in for you"

Max Feilong was slightly taken aback: "Although my relationship with Ma Xiongbing isn't great, we aren't enemies."

"That's strange then," Xia Tian appeared puzzled. "If he has no grudge against you, why would he do this to harm you"

Tian Xiaoya was rather intelligent and promptly added: "Yeah, Brother Long, Ma Xiongbing knows my brother-in-law’s capabilities, so he wouldn't dare cause trouble for him. Yet, he deliberately gave the IOU to you—this seems like a deliberate attempt to harm you. He didn’t tell you about my brother-in-law at all, did he"

Max Feilong's face darkened; he wasn't stupid and knew that Tian Xiaoya's words were meant to sow discord, but what she said was true—Ma Xiongbing hadn't mentioned anything about Xia Tian. Originally, Max Feilong had found it strange since Tian Xiaoya was supposedly Ma Xiongbing’s kept woman, so why would he now tell him to cause trouble for hered again, Yi Xiaoyin would definitely have thrown the phone, but fortunately, he didn’t call again. As a result, she managed to keep her phone alive."Miss, why don't you blacklist that bastard's numbe...
