296: Chapter 290 Do Not Subscribe (Anti-Theft Chapter) — If the subscription situation doesn’t improve after this chapter, I will stop using anti-theft measures.”Fifty thousand each.”

The second and third brothers were instantly stunned.

The jacket-wearing kidnapper stopped his groaning. He felt bewildered; the three of them had lived hand-to-mouth for over a decade, and the gold coins they had saved up weren’t even as high as the bounty on one of them?

If he had known this earlier, he could have just sent the third brother to the Law Enforcement Bureau to achieve financial freedom. At worst, he could have just raised the man’s wife and children in the village!

After a long silence, the second and third brothers came to their senses and exchanged a subtle glance, instantly understanding the meaning in each other’s eyes: He had no intention of letting them go.

Having made an accurate assessment of the situation, the two reached a decision. The next second, they turned and fled, rushing crazily toward the door.

Trying to run?

Li Wei raised his leg, hitting the jacket-wearing kidnapper in the chin with a knee strike to knock him out. Then, he channeled the magic energy in his meridians to accelerate, leaving a blur in his wake to block the other two.

”Fight him!”

Before the words were even out, Li Wei knocked them both down with two straight punches.

He kicked the two limp figures on the ground, and once he confirmed they had lost consciousness, he turned back to Ade and untied his ropes: ”Hey, one hundred and fifty thousand Lites. We’re rich...”

”When did you become a Magic User?”

”Huh? That’s not important. One hundred and fifty thousand Lites! My monthly salary is only 4,000!”

Watching Li Wei, who ripped the hemp rope apart as if it were a nuisance, Ade’s expression was inexplicably complex: ”If I were a Magic User... never mind.”

He stood up and stretched his stiff limbs from being tied up for too long, then pulled out the handcuffs from his back waist and crouched down beside the jacket-wearing kidnapper, preparing to cuff him.

”Bang—”

The dilapidated door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and a group of law enforcement officers in black tactical gear, wielding standard-issue longswords, filed in.

”Ade?”

”You took down the kidnappers?”

After arriving near the wooden house on the outskirts of the Fog Forest, Luke had been planning a tactical strategy when he suddenly heard a shrill scream. Thinking his colleague was being tortured, he chose a head-on assault and charged straight in, only to find the thugs had already been subdued.

Luke stepped forward, used his foot to turn the jacket-wearing kidnapper’s face toward him, and then his eyes widened in shock: ”Sean?!”

The team members, who had been checking the scene, all swarmed over. After carefully examining Sean’s face, a clamor broke out: ”It really is him!”

”There’s no mistake, I saw his face during the last arrest operation!”

Luke looked at Ade in astonishment: ”You took down the Sean brothers all by yourself?”

”It was Li...”

Li Wei firmly pressed down on Ade’s shoulder: ”That’s right!”

”Ade subdued all three of them alone!”

Chapter 3: How to Obtain Fate Points

Only Ade and Li Wei were at the scene, and the latter was a non-combatant. Although he found it hard to believe, Luke had no choice but to believe it.

After a moment of silence, he asked the two: ”Do you have any reliable friends in other districts?”

”If you do, you should leave Weihai immediately.”

To Li Wei’s surprise, after the shock, Luke’s expression suddenly turned desolate. He patted Ade on the shoulder and led his team out of the room.

He watched blankly as the group filed out of the door, dejected: ”What’s with them...”

Ade didn’t pay much attention to the special operations team’s strange reaction and calmly explained it to him.

It turned out that the reason the Sean brothers had remained at large was not only because they were truly powerful, but also because the Weihai District Chief had been obstructing justice.

The ordinary citizens at the bottom might know nothing, but most public officials working in government agencies knew a little something.

Those high-bounty criminals who could never be brought to justice were actually the District Chief’s ”black gloves,” specifically helping him handle troubles that were inconvenient for him to address directly.
