<h4>Chapter 1740: Chapter 1741: A Wild Night, Returning Fully Loaded</h4>


    Upon hearing that Xiang Yu was nning to kill the hostages, Rumus promptly stepped forward with a sly grin and said, "Boss, let’s talk it out. Although we don’t have money on us right now, we can wire it to you once we return."


    Xiang Yu stood there contemting for a moment, then turned to Tie Zhuzi and said, "He makes a point. Maybe we should let them go first?"


    Tie Zhuzi seemed to ponder as well and nodded, "That works, as long as they guarantee they’ll wire us the money, then we can release them for now."


    Xiang Yu nodded, "It’s settled then. First, seize their weapons."


    The people Xiang Yu brought rushed forward to confiscate the guns from Keru’s subordinates.


    Xiang Yu watched everyone for a moment before saying, "Get all the young ones out first. They don’t look like they have money."


    Tie Zhuzi nodded and then moved to escort those people away. These were under Keru’smand.


    Upon seeing Xiang Yu’s men taking his own, Keru hurriedly forced a smile and said, "We have money. Just release us and I’ll have someone wire it to you right now."


    "How much money do you have?" Xiang Yu asked.


    Xiang Yu could tell now that this person was the traitor among them, and also the one Rumus suspected.


    "As much as you want," Keru said ingratiatingly.


    Hearing this, Tie Zhuzi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly came over with a bank card.


    "Transfer it now. I’ll give you five minutes, or I’ll rip your head off," Tie Zhuzi threatened.


    Keru, being straightforward, although unaware of Xiang Yu’s background, figured since they liked money, it was all negotiable.


    Keru took out his phone and made a call.


    "I need arge sum of money transferred to this bank card now," Keru said urgently.


    "How much?" The person on the other end inquired.


    "Ten million," Keru replied.


    Thinking these people seemed desperate enough, ten million should suffice.


    Upon hearing the amount, Tie Zhuzi’s eyes bulged as he shouted, "Bullshit, are you offering scraps to a beggar? What can you do with ten million, kill them all."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers of the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps began to drag them away.


    Keru panicked and yelled into the phone, "Make it a hundred million, wire me a hundred million!"


    "A billion, not a penny less or I’ll skin you all," Tie Zhuzi shouted.


    Members of the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps were thrilled; the money was rolling in too fast. Large corporations toil endlessly to earn such sums, yet they were making it within moments.


    Keru desperately wanted to shake Xiang Yu’s crew off, so without hesitation, he instructed the other party to wire ten billion to Tie Zhuzi’s bank card.


    In less than ten minutes, Tie Zhuzi’s phone confirmed the money had been received.


    "Hmm, not bad, I admire you," Tie Zhuzi said happily.


    The military officers standing there despised Tie Zhuzi, earning ten billion in a sh was undeniably impressive.


    "Boss, what should we do now?" Tie Zhuzi asked, looking at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, kill them all."


    Xiang Yu was referring to themander and his men.


    Seeing this, Rumus hurriedly stepped forward, "We also have money, whatever you need, we can give it to you."


    Rumus turned to themander, his intent clear — hand over the money quickly.


    Themander initially thought Xiang Yu was their reinforcements, but it seemed they were only there for the money.


    He felt an indescribable frustration. Who would’ve thought bandits would be so brazen as to break into a ****mand center?


    Themander had intended to im poverty, but under the circumstances, he had no choice but to pay up and avoid cmity.


    He turned to a staffer and said, "Transfer the money to them."


    Tie Zhuzi immediately beamed, hurrying over to hand over the bank card.


    Though it pained the staffer, he quicklyplied.


    No one was happier than Tie Zhuzi at that moment, his bank ount suddenly swelled with wealth, outpacing Sun Bo’s earnings significantly.


    "Boss, the money has been received," Tie Zhuzi said with a bright smile, though it couldn’t be seen behind the ck cloth covering his face.


    Xiang Yu nodded, "Alright then, take all these young ones away."


    The brothers from the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps moved forward and tied up the rebel soldiers, dragging them outside.


    Keru panicked and shouted, "We’ve already paid, why are you still capturing my people?"


    "You paid, and they paid too, so it cancels out unless you have more money," Tie Zhuzi said, smiling slyly in front of him.


    Now Keru understood, it wasn’t just about the money, it was all an borate ruse.


    Keru felt duped.


    In ****, he was a districtmander, never had anyone dared to toy with him in such a manner.


    Keru was filled with indescribable rage.


    "I’ll fight you!" Keru shouted, throwing a punch at Tie Zhuzi.


    "No money? Then stand aside," Tie Zhuzi pped Keru’s face, knocking him to the ground.


    Admittedly, there was a thrill to pping amander. Tie Zhuzi found it somewhat addictive.


    He nced at Rumus, then at themander, pondering that the old man’s rank must be higher. If not now, there may be no chance to p himter.


    Rumus caught Tie Zhuzi’s drift and quickly urged, "We’ve paid already, you should leave now."


    At this point, Xiang Yu checked the time and said, "It’s time, let’s go."


    With that, he led the way out, Tie Zhuzi nced at everyone, hefted his machine gun, and followed.


    At this moment, the members of the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps had already tied up the rebel soldiers, stripped them of their clothes, and set them aze.


    "Let’s go," Xiang Yu surveyed the surroundings, ensuring there was no danger, and then led the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps away.


    Not only had they seen major action today, but they also earned some extra cash - quite a haul.


    Tie Zhuzi was so excited along the way that he wanted to leap up, he grabbed his phone and couldn’t resist calling Sun Bo.


    The sky was already lightening, early risers were beginning their workday.


    "Tie Zhuzi, what’s up?" Sun Bo saidzily, having just woken up and not quite alert yet.


    "Haha," Tie Zhuzi said excitedly, "Sun Bo, how’s business beentely?"


    Hearing Tie Zhuzi’s tone, Sun Bo was instantly on alert, now wide awake, "What do you want? Are you out of money again?"


    Tie Zhuzi usually wouldn’t call unless he was short on funds, that’s when he would typically act particrly enthusiastic...
