The three of them had just finished a warm breakfast, with the aroma still lingering on the table, when there was a sudden, rapid and heavy knock on the door, like an ominous omen.

Liu Yunshang frowned, gently put down the dishes in her hands, stood up, and the gauze-like skirt swayed gently with her movements, like a newly blooming lotus.

She walked slowly towards the door, her figure graceful, but she could not hide the uneasiness in her heart.

Zhao Meiyue and Li Zimo looked at each other and saw vigilance and worry in each other's eyes.

They followed Liu Yunshang in tacit understanding. Zhao Meiyue held an ice-blue sword tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Li Zimo, on the other hand, had a stern expression and sharp eyes, as if he could see through all conspiracies.

The door creaked open, and Yue Qiangwei's disgusting figure came into view.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a sinister face and eyes full of disdain and greed, as if he wanted to see all three people in the door.

Behind him followed four sturdy warriors of the sixth or seventh level, all of whom had fierce looks on their faces and were very aggressive.

"Liu Yunshang, quickly return the 100,000 spirit stones to me!"

Yue Qiangwei roared arrogantly, his voice filled with unquestionable arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunshang's eyebrows raised, and a hint of anger flashed in her clear eyes:

"Didn't I return it to you the day before yesterday? How could you be so rude!"

Yue Qiangwei chuckled, a playful smile on his lips, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of bullying the weak:

"Where did you return it? Did you say you returned the spirit stones? Why didn't I receive them?"

"I've already given it to you!"

Liu Yunshang retorted angrily, clenching her hands into fists and trying hard to control her emotions.

Yue Qiangwei smiled triumphantly, took out an IOU from his pocket, and waved it in front of Liu Yunshang:

"Hey, the IOU is still here, how could you possibly pay it back?"

Seeing this, Liu Yunshang's expression suddenly changed, with a flash of disbelief and regret in her eyes:

"You...how could you do this! Give me back the IOU!"

Yue Qiangwei sneered, deliberately raised the IOU, and looked at Liu Yunshang provocatively:

"My little beauty, please don't snatch it away. Want an IOU? Give me 100,000 spirit stones first!"

"You...you are a scoundrel!"

Liu Yunshang was so angry that she was shaking all over, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I clearly returned the 100,000 spirit stones to you the day before yesterday!"

"The IOU is still here, how could you possibly pay it back?"

Yue Qiangwei repeated triumphantly, his tone full of teasing and threats.

"Hurry up and take out the spirit stone!"

A thug behind Yue Qiangwei yelled rudely and reached out to push Liu Yunshang.

"I...I don't have any spirit stones!"

Liu Yunshang's voice was trembling, but extremely firm.

"Hehe...If you don't have the spirit stones, then just come back with me and be my concubine!"

Yue Qiangwei showed an obscene smile, as if he had already seen the moment of his success.

Seeing this, several people wanted to go forward and forcibly abduct Liu Yunshang and Zhao Meiyue back.

At this moment, Li Zimo stepped forward, stood in front of the two women, took out the photo stone, and shouted coldly:

"Wait! I knew you wouldn't let this go. I have the stone that recorded the return of the spirit stone from the day before yesterday. It records everything clearly!"

When Yue Qiangwei heard Li Zimo's words, his face instantly turned as dark as ink. He exchanged a vicious look with his men, and then they all jumped up and pounced on Li Zimo like hungry wolves, trying to snatch the photo stone from his hand.

However, Li Zimo's reaction was extremely quick. He moved freely among the crowd like a ghost and easily avoided all attacks.

"Humph, what a small trick!"

Li Zimo sneered and took the opportunity to hold up the photo stone high. The clear picture shone brightly in the sun, revealing the truth about returning the spirit stone the day before yesterday.

"you!"

Upon seeing this, Yue Qiangwei was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his face was so ashen that it seemed as if water could drip out.

He glared at Li Zimo and said viciously:

"Since you're not accepting my toast, don't blame me for being rude! Brothers, don't hold back, attack! Destroy the photo stone, and everything will be fine! If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, the thugs grinned, drew their weapons, and without any hesitation, rushed towards Li Zimo.

There was a cruel gleam in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear Li Zimo into pieces.

However, Li Zimo did not show any fear.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a firm light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he had to protect the truth and not let Yue Qiangwei's conspiracy succeed.

"Neighbors, please watch carefully!"

Li Zimo shouted loudly, his voice full of confidence and determination.

"I'm acting in self-defense to expose the truth and protect the innocent! I'd like everyone to bear witness when the time comes!"

After saying that, Li Zimo stretched out his body and pounced on the thugs like a cheetah.

His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each strike aimed directly at the vital points.

In the flash of sword light, the four big men were hit in the vital parts one after another. They fell to the ground wailing and could not get up again.

The crowd around burst into exclamations and praises.

They looked at this scene in disbelief - a young man who was a third-level warrior could actually defeat four sixth- or seventh-level warriors by himself!

Li Zimo's strength and courage shocked and impressed everyone.

Upon seeing this, Yue Qiangwei's face turned extremely ugly.

He didn't expect that Li Zimo was so powerful that he could defeat the helper he had hired with great difficulty.

Yue Qiangwei was shocked and when he came to his senses, he found that he had been forced into a desperate situation by Li Zimo's sword.

His body was shaking, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.

"Bring out the IOU. I'll also give you and their lives another 600,000. 100,000 spirit stones per person, a total of 600,000."

Li Zimo's voice was calm and firm, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Yue Qiangwei's heart sank when he heard this, and he tried to bargain:

"There are five of us in total. Shouldn't it be 500,000 spirit stones?"

Li Zimo smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"It's true that each of the four of them costs 100,000. But you're more expensive, 200,000. Why, you don't want to give it to me?"

There was an irrefutable power in his words.

Yue Qiangwei felt Li Zimo's determination and coldness, and he knew he had no choice.

Between life and spirit stone, he could only choose the latter.

"Here, I'll give it!"

He said hurriedly, and at the same time took out the IOU and a storage bag full of spirit stones from his arms, and handed them to Li Zimo with trembling hands.

Li Zimo took the IOU and storage bag, checked them carefully, and after confirming that they were correct, he slowly put away his sword.

He looked at Yue Qiangwei with a sharp gaze and said coldly:

"Remember today's lesson. If you dare to do evil again, I will never forgive you."
