# Chapter 383: Brother Don't Cry! You're Not Alone
After venting, Zhong Yingxue and the others slept like babies last night!
Jiangnan actually slept pretty well too!
Falling asleep while resentment values kept refreshing was totally awesome!
Jiangnan got up early the next morning!
He slung a sack over his shoulder and headed straight for the woods on the outskirts of Jiangcheng!
And there, two foreign men in sportswear and sunglasses had already been waiting for two hours!
Both were Platinum rank!
In the woods, Jiangnan suddenly appeared carrying Victoria over his shoulder!
"Where's my money?"
The Platinum man pushed his sunglasses: "I need to first confirm that the Flying Celestial Maiden is safe!"
Jiangnan took down the sack!
The two sunglass-wearing men widened their eyes, shuddered, their faces filled with terror!
Who was this woman whose face was bruised and swollen like she'd been ravaged by an excavator?
Was this really Diamond-rank Victoria? Was this some kind of joke?
Victoria: !!!
"What are you looking at! Just give him the money! Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
The two sunglass-wearing men were dumbfounded!
Since when was she speaking up for Jiangnan?
Little did they know, Victoria couldn't bear to stay in Jiangnan's hands for even one more second!
She hoped to never see him again for the rest of her life!
Otherwise, she would definitely be tormented to death!
The two sunglass-wearing men quickly transferred the money! 20 million USD arrived!
"The... person... give her to us?"
Jiangnan frowned: "What do you mean 'give her to you'? You still owe me 50!"
Victoria: !!!
"Didn't the money already hit your account? How am I in debt to you again?"
"Brother Nan! Lord Nan! Daddy Nan! Can you please let me go? I can't take it anymore! I really can't!"
Her words were filled with pleading!
Her mental state had completely collapsed!
The two sunglass-wearing men were utterly confused!
She... was calling him daddy now? Oh wow?
Jiangnan refused: "My phone card doesn't have international roaming! You called your Lord, didn't you? Phone credit costs money, doesn't it? Pay up now!"
Upon hearing this, Victoria was stunned!
You're already extorting me for ransom, and you won't even put up any capital?
A truly zero-cost operation?
You want reimbursement for the phone call too?
You've already got 30 million in hand, and you're still haggling over a hundred bucks for a phone call?
"Give it to him! Give it to him now!"
The two sunglass-wearing men pulled out a 20 USD bill from their pocket and handed it to Jiangnan, their faces turning black!
Jiangnan took the money, stuffed it in his pocket, and grinned!
He pulled out a plastic bag and shoved it into Victoria's pocket: "Open it when there's no one around!"
With that, he teleported away in an instant!
Victoria let out a long sigh of relief. Had she finally escaped the clutches of that demon?
What did he stuff in my pocket?
"What are you looking at? Why aren't you untying me?"
"Oh, right!"
...
Meanwhile!
On the beaches of Hawaii across the ocean, it was dusk!
The Magician, his whole body wrapped in bandages and casts, was lying on a beach chair, watching the sunset and contemplating life!
A glimmer of tears could be seen in his eyes!
Just then, there was movement behind him!
Andrei appeared, practically wrapped up like a zongzi in bandages! His neck, arms, and legs were all in casts!
He hobbled over to the beach chair step by step with his crutch, barely managing to sit down, hissing in pain!
Even the necklace hanging around his neck had been glued together — no telling if he used 101 or 502!
It too was wrapped in bandages! And he'd even tied a cute little bow!
The Magician glanced at Andrei and let out a long sigh!
"Jiangnan do this?"
"Jiangnan did this."
"I told you not to go! But you insisted!"
Andrei: (ಥ﹏ಥ)
"I never want to see that bastard again in this life!"
Magician: ('-ωก̀)
"Brother, don't cry! You're not alone!"
Under the setting sun! Their shadows stretched long...
At this moment, the area of their psychological shadows could probably fill the entire Pacific Ocean!
[From David Copperfield...]
[From Andrei...]
...
On the plane, Victoria pulled out the black plastic bag Jiangnan had stuffed in her pocket!
She secretly opened it, only to find a shriveled, wrinkled ginseng root inside!
Victoria's nose tingled, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She cried her heart out, and somehow felt a hint of gratitude!
That bastard still had some shred of conscience after all!
He knew to give her a healing treasure...
So she wouldn't have to go back with a bruised and swollen face?
With gratitude in her heart, Victoria ate the Vitality Ginseng!
Half a minute later...
Two streams of shockingly powerful nosebleed burst from Victoria's nostrils!
In an instant, blood splattered all over the plane cabin!
Chaos erupted everywhere!
"Ah! Flight attendant! Quick! Someone here is hemorrhaging!"
"She's dying! She's about to die!"
"With that much blood loss, her artery must have ruptured!"
"Holy crap! I can't! I'm about to faint!"
"Is there a doctor among the passengers? Please help!"
"Miss? Miss? Are you okay?"
Victoria sat dumbfounded on the seat, staring at the wild torrent of blood pouring from her nose, completely losing it!
"Jiangnan! You bastard! Demon! Bandit! Scumbag Nan! Aaaaaah!"
"You won't let me go even like this? Turn around! Turn around and fly me back! I'll fight him to the death!"
[From Victoria Sasha's resentment value +1000!]
[From...]
...
Morning, the sunlight was just right!
Jiangnan and the others had bid farewell to Little Fish's family early and were planning to buy a house!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao kept sneaking glances at Jiangnan!
After experiencing the collective beating, how was Jiangnan acting like nothing had happened?
Xia Yao felt guilty: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Ying: "Did... did you have any dreams or anything?"
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "I dreamed that a group of people were beating me up last night! They made me cry!"
"When I woke up this morning, my whole body hurt like crazy!"
Zhong Yingxue's face was full of guilt: "Where does it hurt? I'll massage it for you!"
Ye Ying twisted her clothes: "I... I won't stop you from setting up your stall anymore!"
Xia Yao's gaze darted away: "We'll take you to eat something good later to make up for it. My treat!"
Jiangnan: (︶ٹ︶)
[From Victoria...]
[From Victoria...]
Jiangnan was stunned. Didn't I already let that woman go?
And I even kindly gave her a Vitality Ginseng to heal her wounds in private!
Why is she still giving me resentment points?
Hmph! Doesn't she even know how to be grateful?
Big ingrate!
Jiangnan had no idea that the flight Victoria was on had already gone into complete chaos!
...
At Little Fish's house!
Fish Dad was lying in bed, his face pale, counting little figures while delirious!
Fish Mom brought a steaming pot of soybean and lean meat porridge to the bedside!
"Open up, I'll feed you!"
"What's this? Smells pretty good!"
"A young man brought it yesterday. Said it was for detoxification and health. I put some in the hotpot yesterday, and I made the rest into porridge for you!"
"Eat it all! Got it?"
Fish Dad was deeply touched: "My wife really takes good care of me!"
"Here! Open wide! Ah~"
"Ah~"
...
Jiangnan directly spent 5 million USD to buy a three-story luxury villa!
The property deed was written in Mila's name!
So she could have a place in this world that could be called home!
In the following days, even though Ye Ying no longer stopped Jiangnan from setting up his stall, Jiangnan didn't go out!
Instead, he stayed home and trained like crazy, trying to break through to Gold rank!
Having a Diamond-rank space-attributed Spirit Bead in his pocket but being unable to use it made Jiangnan restless!
Seeing Jiangnan work so hard, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao also entered a state of desperate training!
And Diamond-rank Ye Ying took on the role of mentor!
And so, a month and a half passed in the blink of an eye!
