# Chapter 1681: An Eye for an Eye
The "seed" that Jiangnan pulled out of Hope, why was Solomon following along with complaint points?
And it was under the name "Thug"?
Could there be some unspeakable conspiracy going on here?
Robbing his treasury only gave me 777!
Pulling a "seed" out of Hope gave me 1003?
And it happened several times?
Something's not right!
Not believing it, Jiangnan shoved the "seed" back into Hope!
Then a few more cupping pulls, and pulled the "seed" back out again!
[Complaint points from Thug +1003!]
[From Thug…]
Jiangnan's expression darkened, something was definitely wrong!
There was a seed of Solomon inside Hope's body? And he could sense it?
Jiangnan suddenly remembered that members of the Thug organization all had their physical abilities enhanced, some mysterious secret technique of self-healing!
And this power was "bestowed" by Solomon!
Could this "seed" buried in the body be the source of this mysterious secret technique?
Combined with the fact that Solomon had only recently increased in strength dramatically, and the Thug organization had suddenly risen to prominence…
If anyone believed Solomon didn't have major issues, they'd be lying!
The system had never gotten a name wrong!
Could it be that Solomon was already gone, and the Thug was the source of all these "seeds"?
Then what exactly was this Thug?
Jiangnan vaguely felt that Solomon was hiding some huge secret!
He needed to be careful!
"You haven't had much contact with Solomon recently, have you?"
Hope's face darkened: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) "What do you mean no contact? Didn't we just contact him during the day? Contacted his fist with my face!"
You've got some nerve asking? Didn't I get dragged over there to be your human shield?
Otherwise, would I have gotten beaten up?
Jiangnan's heart tightened!
Did this "seed" enter the body through physical contact? Like a parasite or something?
So Hope…
Wait—Wu Liang was also hit in the chest by Solomon. Could he have been seeded too?
Hope said grimly: "Boss! Can you just heal me already? Are you practicing on me or what?"
As Jiangnan was thinking, one cupping session managed to pull out that "paralyzed" character!
Instantly, Hope felt his whole body clear out, both legs suddenly working!
Even that feeling of his rank about to collapse disappeared!
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Jiangnan, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes!
Scammed me out of ten billion, and turned me into a toad? This grudge…
Jiangnan's eyes widened as he pulled out a small stool and whacked Hope right on the head!
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)۶╧╧(#)꒪ͦз꒪ͦ)
With a "bang," Hope's head was knocked sideways, blood spurting from the wound!
He was completely stunned!
Then Jiangnan smiled kindly:
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "Little friend! Better not have any dangerous thoughts, okay?"
"As for this headshot, don't take it personally. I'm working on unlocking the achievement of 'King of Head Bashers' from Blue Star, and since you're a Dao Heaven rank, I'm just using your head to fill the count!"
Damn! You want to fight me on my vendor cloth? Biting the hand that feeds you? You must be tired of living!
[Complaint points from Hope +777!]
What the hell does "King of Head Bashers" achievement mean? So I just got hit for nothing?
Looking at Jiangnan's smile, Hope didn't dare try any of his last ideas!
He crawled up, never wanting to see Jiangnan again!
"Call the brothers! Let's go! Demand an explanation from the Vientiane Alliance!"
Jiangnan quickly called out: (ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey—don't forget my stone tablet!"
Hope didn't look back: "You'll get it!"
Jiangnan smiled in satisfaction, while Mila and Lan's squad also ran back!
As for how many treasures they grabbed from the treasury over there, Jiangnan didn't ask, just let Lan keep it as her private savings!
But then, Jiangnan's gaze fell on Wu Liang!
Wu Liang swallowed hard: (Ŏ﹏Ŏ‧̣̥̇) "S-Southie? What are you looking at me for?"
Jiangnan's expression was solemn: (｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Big guy! I suspect you've got a seed in your body!"
Wu Liang's mouth twitched as he said casually: (︶.̮︶๑)۶ "Isn't that obvious? I'm a real man, of course I've got seed! I'm the seediest!"
"Don't believe me? Ask Miaomiao!"
Iron Bull blushed shyly: "Oh dear～ Honey! You're so annoying!"
Then she punched Wu Liang, sending him flying straight into a building!
Jiangnan's mouth twitched: "I'm not joking! Better safe than sorry!"
"Solomon is a bit creepy. From now on, when you fight him, make sure he doesn't touch your body, or who knows what might happen!"
"As for whether Wu Liang has a seed or not—let's find out!"
With that, Jiangnan pulled out two more small fire jars, eyes glowing red!
O٩(๑͡'▿͡'๑)۶O
Wu Liang shuddered, already terrified.
...
Back at the Thug base, Solomon punched a marble table to pieces, his face full of frustration!
He didn't care at all that his treasury was robbed; he didn't value human world wealth or treasures!
The problem was that the parasitic seed he'd left on Hope had disappeared!
He'd left it when he punched Hope in the face!
But it had been pulled out by those small fire jars, twice!
And it hadn't lost its vitality—it was sealed in the jar!
What the hell was that thing? The Chaos Body could pull things out? And his parasitic seed too?
Could Jiangnan have discovered him?
Solomon's eyes flickered. Probably not!
After all, humans had no idea beings like parasites even existed!
But this meant Jiangnan's vigilance would be even stronger!
Now Solomon wasn't just interested in Jiangnan alone—that eating girl and those two little girls were all excellent hosts!
If he could get them…
Just thinking about it made Solomon itch!
...
Back at Green Melon Town!
The Huanghe Society was fiercely fighting the Vientiane Alliance, both sides locked in brutal combat!
Things were incredibly lively!
Hope, having fully recovered, was abnormally powerful, currently battling Senluo in the rainforest!
The ground shook with their fight!
Senluo roared angrily: (ꐦ°᷄口°᷅) "Hope! Have you lost your mind? Why are you attacking my Vientiane Alliance? What did I do to you?"
"Hey hey hey! Stop looting!"
The Vientiane Alliance treasury had been thrown open, and many Huanghe Society members were frantically hauling away treasures!
Hope bellowed: (｀口´メ) "Don't listen to him! Take it all! Carry everything back!"
"What did you do to me? Senluo! Don't play dumb! Both the Huanghe Society and Thug treasuries have been cleaned out!"
"Your Vientiane Alliance is the only one untouched! You think I can't see through your little scheme? It was you! You wanted me to go after Jiangnan and eliminate a competitor!"
"And before, that thing about my wife being tricked by someone disguised as Jiangnan—that was your doing too, wasn't it? Same old tricks! You think I can't tell? Loot it all!"
Senluo's eyes widened as he subconsciously glanced at Bracelet Wei in the distance!
The Saint Star was moving again? I didn't know about this!
But that glance gave Hope all the evidence he needed!
(ꐦ｀д´)☛ "So it was you after all! You old schemer, what exactly are you plotting? Loot everything!"
Senluo said stubbornly: "Calm down! If I really did it, would I leave my own treasury untouched?"
"I would have made it look like my treasury was robbed too, to throw off suspicion! The treasury heist has nothing to do with my Vientiane Alliance!"
Hope glared: (ꐦಠ益ಠ) "Keep making excuses! It's useless no matter what you say today! It was you!"
Do I care whether it was the real Jiangnan or a fake one?
That's not important! Someone has to take the blame!
My treasury can't be robbed for nothing! My ten billion can't be wasted!
I'm looting the Vientiane Alliance first to recoup some losses!
I'm not taking this loss alone!
It was you! And now the Huanghe Society is taking revenge, perfectly justified!
Senluo didn't even know what to say anymore, cursing back as the two fought even more fiercely!
Bracelet Wei's face was black as pitch!
Jiangnan had robbed another treasury and framed the fake Jiangnan?
This scheming bastard really was one step ahead!
An eye for an eye?
[Complaint points from Vivian +1001!]
Hairpin Wei was also dumbfounded. She never imagined Jiangnan would strike back like this!
She was starting to feel desperate!
Her proud scheme of playing dirty had become Jiangnan's weapon to counterattack?
How was she supposed to compete with him?!
[From Vivian…]
Bracelet Wei gritted her teeth. At this rate, who knew how things would develop!
She couldn't give Jiangnan any more chances to cause trouble!
Her eyes were filled with resolve!
"Senluo! Don't bother with him! Save your people. No point wasting them fighting the Huanghe Society!"
Senluo said urgently: "But he stole my money! He…"
Bracelet Wei coldly stared at Senluo. Clenching his teeth, Senluo could only swallow this humiliating loss!
In the end, the Huanghe Society still managed to loot the Vientiane Alliance!
Though Hope took a loss, overall it wasn't too bad!
Jiangnan definitely came out ahead!
...
Back at the camp!
Wu Liang was currently suspended in midair, biting a pillow and sobbing uncontrollably!
(包༎ຶ皿༎ຶ)
A man who hadn't cried even when beaten to a sieve had been crying for over half an hour!
Wu Liang had no good spots left on his body—even his crotch had been cupped by Jiangnan!
He was covered in bump after bump, with no room left for more!
Everyone around covered their faces, unable to watch!
Liu Mang couldn't bear to look: (ﾉ)-﹏-) "Wu Liang right now reminds me of that grandma monster from Gantz!"
Qin Shou: (´థжథ)σ "Pfft～"
No! Can't laugh! Wu Liang bro still needs face!
Wu Liang wept: (包༎ຶᯅ༎ຶ`) "Southie! I admit I've got no seed! I really don't have any seed! I'm just a seedless man! Stop pulling!"
"I'm about to become a Michelin tire at this point!"
Jiangnan looked thoughtful: (͡°ก͡°) "I've done over a hundred jars already. Why can't I find the seed?"
"Did Solomon not plant a seed in Wu Liang? Weird～"
So Wu Liang really had no seed?
Just then, Black Crow rushed in carrying a stone tablet!
"Nan Shen! The Huanghe Society really sent over the prophecy stone tablet!"
Jiangnan turned around, eyes lighting up: "Oh? Let me take a look?"
The moment he turned, the floating spell array disappeared, and Wu Liang crashed to the ground!
Σ(›ଵﾛଵ‹|||) "I king! I crash! Yaaahhh～"
Wu Liang's high-pitched scream echoed through the night!
