As Li Ang was lost in thought, someone gently knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Li Ang looked toward A Ruheng, who stood in the doorway.
A Ruheng had changed into a more fashionable outfit. Looking at his junior apprentice brother, he smiled at him.
"All right, junior apprentice brother. Everything's been taken care of, and the matter's been resolved perfectly."
"The city lord won't give you any more trouble."
"He even gave you 200,000 Federal Credits as compensation."
A Ruheng spoke with a hint of excitement on his face.
He knew his junior apprentice brother wasn't short on money, so naturally the 200,000 Federal Credits would go to him.
But hearing A Ruheng's words, Li Ang looked puzzled.

So when a Six-Ring Soul Emperor appeared in this lower city, the normal bounty would be around a million or even ten million. By all rights, 200,000 shouldn't amount to much.

Even Soul Saints, or even Soul Douluos, wouldn't travel a thousand miles to this city to hunt one down for such a meager bounty.
Hearing A Ruheng's explanation, Li Ang
