I, Ye Tian, Owe You a Favor

As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, a figure hurried up from behind him.

He rushed over to Ye Tian and spoke in a fearful tone.

"Mr. Ye, please don't misunderstand. I meant no harm."

"I saw that you seemed to be thinking about something and didn't dare come forward and disturb you, so I followed quietly behind you."

"I came to give you this."

As Liu Xinglong spoke, he hurriedly held out a document to Ye Tian with both hands.

"You?"

Ye Tian recognized Liu Xinglong and took the document.

Standing beside him, Liu Xinglong hurried to explain.

"Mr. Ye, after you left the hotel, I immediately had people investigate the Brother Biao Liu Hao mentioned."

"All the information is in there."

"Across the four districts and seven counties of Jiangnan City, there are ninety-three people in the underworld who go by Brother Biao."

"The vast majority are small fry."

"Only Wang Biao of Yunhai County and Zhao Biao of the Development Zone each dominate their own territory. They're the most likely suspects."

"However, both men wield considerable power. It would be difficult to make a move against them."

After speaking, Liu Xinglong watched Ye Tian cautiously, his heart taut with nerves.

Legend had it that martial artists all had very strange tempers and were unpredictable in their moods.

Without first obtaining Ye Tian's consent, he had begun investigating the mastermind behind the plot to kill him.

If Ye Tian appreciated the gesture, that would naturally be good.

But if it displeased Ye Tian, his clever move would have backfired.

Ye Tian merely glanced at the information before tossing it back to Liu Xinglong.

Although Ye Tian had lost all his cultivation, he still had the soul of an Immortal Emperor, and his divine sense was incomparably powerful.

With a single glance, he had committed the contents of the document to memory, without missing a single word.

But Liu Xinglong thought he had angered Ye Tian. His heart sank, and cold sweat instantly poured down his body.

"Mr. Ye, I really meant no harm."

"I only..."

Liu Xinglong looked flustered. Before he could finish, Ye Tian's indifferent voice rang out.

"Liu Xinglong, right?"

"I, Ye Tian, owe you a favor."

The information Liu Xinglong had provided was immensely useful to Ye Tian.

If Ye Tian had investigated it himself, it certainly wouldn't have been so easy.

Only a local powerhouse like Liu Xinglong could have gathered information on the Brother Biaos in such a short time.

He had done Ye Tian a great favor.

"Oh, no, I wouldn't dare!"

"It's my honor to be of service to you, Mr. Ye!"

Liu Xinglong's earlier panic instantly turned into boundless delight, and his face blossomed into a smile.

He was simply overwhelmed by the favor.

A favor from a martial artist was worth an enormous amount.

At a critical moment, it could save his life!

Hadn't he investigated Brother Biao precisely to befriend Ye Tian and win his favor?

He hadn't expected Ye Tian to say outright that he owed him a favor.

For Liu Xinglong, it was as if a huge meat pie had fallen from the sky and landed on his head.

"Mr. Ye, if you ever need my services, please just say the word."

"In Jiangnan City, I, Liu Xinglong, still have some influence."

Liu Xinglong struck while the iron was hot, continuing to show goodwill toward Ye Tian.

He had built the Xinglong Group into such a large enterprise in Jiangnan City and kept it standing firm.

Liu Xinglong had relied not just on fighting and killing, but also on exceptional wisdom and a keen eye for people.

From their brief interactions, he could already tell.

Ye Tian was someone worth befriending.

Toward enemies like Liu Hao and Wang Ting, Ye Tian was decisive in killing and showed no mercy, striking fear into people's hearts.

Yet when Liu Xinglong helped Ye Tian by providing information on Brother Biao, he didn't even have to ask.

Ye Tian took the initiative to say he owed him a favor.

What did it mean to be clear about gratitude and grudges?

This was what it meant to be clear about gratitude and grudges!

A person like that had a conscience.

You would never lose out by dealing with someone who had a conscience!

As long as you helped him, he would repay you.

"All right, I'll take your contact information."

"I'll get in touch if I need anything."

Ye Tian nodded and didn't stand on ceremony.

He had just returned to Earth and did indeed need someone capable he could call on.

Liu Xinglong was a good choice.

Liu Xinglong hurriedly gave him his phone number.

But when he asked for Ye Tian's number with a broad smile, Ye Tian frowned.

Liu Xinglong's smile instantly froze, and his heart leaped into his throat.

This is bad!

Mr. Ye is displeased!
