Robbery (1)

He shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore. As long as he could help him exchange the gold, he would go even if the money exchange was located in a cave.

Fanxin stepped forward, came to the door, and peeked inside. He found only three people inside: an old man and two young men.

At this moment, the old man was lying on a recliner, resting with his eyes closed, a purple blanket covering his abdomen. Two young people were busy there, one doing accounts and the other cleaning.

The young man who was keeping the ledger had a sore neck and was looking up to relax when he saw Fan Fanxin peeking in. He paused for a moment, then smiled and came over.

"Sir, what would you like to exchange?" The young man walked over quickly, a professional smile on his face.

The young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, of average appearance. Although young, he was calm and composed, and his manners and hospitality were very skillful. He must have been working here for a long time and had become very familiar with the ways of the world.

"I have a lot of gold to exchange. Do you have enough banknotes here?" Fanxin strode in and asked with a smile.

"A lot of gold?" The young man glanced around at Fanxin, Bingfeng, and the Little Fox behind Fanxin. Seeing that their hands were empty, he frowned almost imperceptibly, but quickly recovered and smiled, "We have enough paper money. If we need more, we can get it right away. But where's your gold?"

Fanxin had been watching the other person closely, and the young man's furrowed brow naturally didn't escape his observation. He smiled slightly and said, "As long as you have enough paper money, I have plenty of gold."

Without hesitation, he inserted his right hand into his dantian, and soon his entire hand was inside.

"Ah..." the young man exclaimed in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost, and backed away repeatedly. It was the first time he had ever seen someone put their hand inside their body.

His face was pale; if he hadn't seen many grand scenes with his master, he probably would have fainted from fright long ago.

However, his exclamation also drew the attention of the old man and the other young man.

Another young man stared blankly, frozen in place.

The white-haired old man remained remarkably calm. He slowly stood up, smiled and nodded at Fanxin, then turned his head and snapped, "What are you yelling about? Didn't I tell you? The world is vast, full of extraordinary people. When you encounter one, you must remain calm. Look at your appearance!"

"Master, I..." The young man realized he had lost his composure and was immediately embarrassed.

"Alright, go and settle the accounts. I'll take care of this guest." The old man waved his hand, dismissing his apprentice.

Immediately, he turned his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my apprentice is inexperienced and hasn't seen much of the world, so he was a little flustered when he saw what you did."

Fanxin Xin chuckled and said in surprise, "Grandpa is so calm; it seems you've seen quite a few extraordinary people."

The old man said modestly, "When I was young, I traveled around and did see some things, but I've never seen a poem like yours before."

"I just have a small world inside my body. All my treasures are kept inside. It's safe and convenient there." Fanxin didn't hide anything. These people were just ordinary people and posed no threat to him at all.

Moreover, the fact that he possesses a small world is no secret; everyone who has fought against him knows this.

"I see. Then let's talk over here." The old man was surprised for a moment, but quickly recovered. It seems he has indeed seen some of the world.

Fanxin didn't stand on ceremony and followed the old man directly to the tea table. The old man sat to one side, and Fanxin sat opposite him. Meanwhile, Bingfeng and the Little Black Cat wandered around inside.

The old man poured Fanxin a cup of tea before saying, "Alright, now let's get down to business. How much gold do you want in exchange?"

Fanxin counted them in his mind and said, "I can't say for sure, you can see for yourself!" Without hesitation, he took out all the gold he wanted to exchange. In no time, the entire room was filled with boxes, and some loose pieces were just piled up on the floor.

The two young men opened the box and were completely stunned to find it filled with glittering gold. Their mouths gaped open and they couldn't close them for a long time.

Even the old man, who had seen many grand occasions, was stunned by these dozens of large boxes. He stood up slightly, examined them one by one, and after a long while, swallowed hard and said, "Sir, the gold you have is all of top quality. At the current gold price, you've made a fortune."

Fanxin smiled and said, "I profited, and you profited too, didn't you?"

When exchanging banknotes here, the money exchange charges a service fee. The amount of the fee depends mainly on the value of the item being exchanged.

He had brought out so much gold; Fanxin believed that the money exchange must have charged him a hefty commission.

However, compared to the money he would receive, these fees were insignificant, so he wouldn't be tempted by such small gains.

The old man couldn't help but nod excitedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Alright, we have quite a few of these things, and I don't know how to appraise them. You can start calculating; I have time to wait." Fanxin waved his hand, telling the old man not to stand on ceremony.

The old man, a man who had seen many grand occasions, quickly calmed down. He beckoned to his two apprentices and began to take stock.

Fanxin sat there, leisurely sipping his tea.

"Hey, hey, is that gold? My God, there's so much!" On a tall building a few dozen meters away from the money exchange, a boy with dyed blond hair and an earring was idly looking into the distance with binoculars. His gaze inadvertently swept over the money exchange, and he immediately stopped looking away.

His mouth was watering, as if he had seen a delicious lobster.

"What? Gold? Let me see!" The boys around the boy, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, swarmed forward, snatched the binoculars, and began to look. After a moment, gasps of surprise came from their mouths. Everyone was extremely excited, their eyes were green with envy, like wolves that hadn't eaten for days.

"How about it, let's pull off a heist?" The blond man from before looked at everyone and said excitedly. He was breathing a little rapidly, his eyes occasionally glancing at the money exchange, and a look of madness appeared on his face.

"Alright, those old man and two young men are just ordinary people, they're not that strong. We have knives and guns, and quite a few men here, let's go and do it." A bald man with a hooked nose nodded in agreement and said.

"Agree?"

"Agree!"

Before long, everyone reached an agreement. It seemed that the allure of gold had overcome their fear.

"Let's go, we'll go now." The blond man was impatient; he called out and grabbed his weapon.

The rest of the people followed suit, some carrying knives, others guns, and they all rushed downstairs towards the money exchange.

"Hmm?" Fanxin was drinking tea when he suddenly sensed a murderous aura approaching. He looked up in confusion, staring in a certain direction. He then released his Haki and quickly locked onto the group of people emanating the murderous intent.

"A bunch of thugs?" Fanxin frowned, looked at the old man who was busy working, and said, "Old man, it seems that this gold has attracted the covetous eyes of some people. I wonder if you have any way to deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "Who? Who is eyeing this gold?"

Fanxin said calmly, "There are dozens of thugs, led by a blond-haired kid. Their target is this place."

"Is it that wretched brat?" The old man's frost-like beard trembled with anger, clearly recognizing the person Fanxin had mentioned. He rolled up his sleeves and stormed to the door, where he indeed saw a group of people rushing in aggressively, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

The blond-haired lad, seeing the old man emerge, grinned and said, "Hey, old man, you've struck it rich this time, you can't leave us out! How about we have half?"

"Half?" The old man was furious. He picked up a broom, ready to strike. These guys had such huge appetites that he was enraged.

The blond man, however, showed no fear. He slowly pulled out a Pistol, aimed it at the old man, and a mocking smile played on his lips.

The old man, who had been so aggressive, froze when he saw the dark, cold-looking muzzle of the gun, and his momentum receded like the tide.

"You... you..." The old man's face changed drastically. He slowly backed away, but he tripped over the threshold and fell backward. The room had a hard marble floor, and if the back of his head hit the ground, he would probably lose his life.

Fanxin couldn't bear to watch any longer. In a flash, he appeared behind the old man. He lifted the old man's back and helped him straighten up.

"Go count the money, I'll take care of these people," Fanxin said calmly.

"They have guns," the old man said, still somewhat frightened.

"A gun?" Fanxin smiled calmly and said, "Old man, do you think I'm an ordinary person?"

The old man was taken aback, then suddenly Satori. Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll leave the things outside to you. I'm going to count the money."

Fanxin sat down on the threshold, glanced at the group of thugs, and said, "This is my stuff. You want to take it too, don't you?"

The blond-haired man was very impolite, putting his hands on his hips and saying, "Kid, I don't care whose it is, I'm taking it. If you don't move aside, I'll kill you."

He brandished the Pistol in his hand, quite pleased with himself, thinking that with a gun in hand, he had the world at his fingertips.

However, Fanxin merely glanced at the other party with disdain. A gun? That thing is indeed good, but it's only good for dealing with ordinary people, and he is not an ordinary person, so it's useless to him.

He sat there leisurely, showing no intention of moving.

Seeing that he was being ignored, the blond-haired man's face flushed with anger. He pointed the dark hole at Fanxin and said in a chilling tone, "Hey kid, are you going to move aside or not? I'm telling you, if you don't move aside, I'll shoot."

Fanxin continued drinking by himself, seemingly oblivious to the buzzing flies around him.

"Damn it!" The blond-haired man was completely enraged. He pulled the trigger and fired at Fanxin.

A bullet was fired, heading straight for Fanxin's head.

Fanxin then raised his head and gave the blond-haired man a cold look. Although it was just a glance, the blond-haired man was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He felt as if he had been targeted by a ferocious beast.

In particular, when he saw that the bullet he fired was easily caught between two fingers by Fanxin, his fear deepened.

"You... who are you? How could you catch my bullet?" The blond-haired man stammered, his face contorted in horror.

"I'm a pirate, and a great pirate at that. Hehe, if you want to die, I might grant your wish." Fanxin Xin smiled gently, but the blond man couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The people behind the blond man didn't notice anything, because Fanxin hadn't been deliberately targeting them.

Seeing their leader retreat, they all looked puzzled. A few of the more hot-tempered guys launched an attack on Fanxin without any hesitation.

They tried to slash at Fanxin with knives and shoot him with guns, but the knives broke and the Pistol smoked, while Fanxin remained unharmed, sitting firmly on his seat.

Only then did everyone realize that this was no ordinary person, but a very powerful one.

They stood there, stunned, not daring to go in. Although the gold was right in front of them, getting it would be incredibly difficult.

With such an invincible and unkillable figure guarding this place, who would dare to act recklessly!

"Get out of here right now, do you hear me? Otherwise, you'll face the consequences." Fanxin looked coldly at these people. If they weren't ordinary people, he would have already taken action and dealt with them all.

The blond-haired man, sweating profusely, chuckled dryly a few times and was the first to turn and leave, not daring to linger for a moment. The other party hadn't made a move, not because he was afraid, but because he disdained it. Therefore, he understood perfectly well that staying would be tantamount to courting death, and immediately turned and left.

Even the most foolish among them realized they'd run into a brick wall, and they all turned to leave. But as they went, their eyes couldn't help but steal another glance at the glittering gold; it seemed that even in their fear, they couldn't forget the allure of that gold.

Fanxin, however, couldn't be bothered to pay attention. As long as they didn't get in his way, he didn't care what they wanted to do.

The old man felt somewhat relieved after seeing the group of thugs leave.

"Old man, you'd better be prepared. Those guys seem to still have their eyes on these things," Fanxin said to the old man with some unease.

He felt a pang of guilt; if it weren't for him, perhaps the old man wouldn't have been targeted. However, it was too late for regrets now; those guys had already seen it, and he could only face reality.

"After I finish this transaction, I'm ready to leave. Hehe, I'm getting old anyway," the old man said with a calm smile.
