Chapter 1268 I Won't Heal You

The people around Ning suddenly shook their heads as if they wanted to clear their ears and hear what he had just said more clearly.

The chubby son gave a confused look and the mayor was even more confused.

"Come again?" he said.

"20 million fire coins," Ning said loudly, loud enough for anyone to hear him. "That is the price that I ask of you for healing you."

"That… isn't that too much?" the mayor said. "Most doctors take barely a few hundred coins."

"Are you not having to sleep in the bed properly, having to be fed by servants, have your shit cleaned by them, while you can't even turn your head for 8 whole months worth just a few hundred coins?"

"Is that relief not worth more?" Ning asked, demandingly. "Yes… but, 20 million…" The mayor didn't know what to say. "That's a lot."

"Yes, and I demand you that you pay me," Ning said. The mayor looked at him with an even more confused look. He was more so confused if he was speaking to an actual human with some sense in him. "Brother Ning," Byron tried to speak, but Ning cut him off.

"Please pay your dues, mayor," he said.

"Father, don't listen to him. No one is going to pay so much to him," the chubby son said. The mayor frowned at this point. "Doctor, you are being delusional," he said. "We will talk about this later." He turned around to speak again, but Ning cut him off.

"Will you pay me my fees later then?" Ning asked. "All 20 million of it."

"Do you know how much 20 million fire coins is young man?" one person cut him off."

"That's 60 million earth coins," another person said.

"Yes," Ning said to them. "And a hundred million water coins. What of it?" The mayor shook his head. "You truly don't understand just how much that is, do you?" he asked in an exasperated voice. "Fine, I'll let you know now that I won't be paying for it."

"You will get 4000 fire coins, not 20 million. Now go away," the mayor said.

Ning smiled internally at this point. "Are you saying that you won't pay me my dues, mayor?" he asked. "You won't pay me the fees I asked for?"

"You know what?" the mayor said. "Screw you. You might have healed me, but that doesn't mean I'll let you rob me alive. Since you are so insistent on asking me the same question, I'll answer you directly."

"No! I won't pay your fees. Now fuck off and let me do what I came here to do," he said, turning around. A few men came toward Ning to push him away.

"Fine! If you won't pay me my fees then I will just not heal you as well," Ning said.

"Not heal me?" the mayor was a little confused. "What does that even mean? I'm already heal—"

Ning pushed past the Low Essence realm people and reached for the mayor. His hand landed on the mayor's neck and at the next moment, a loud resounding snap could be heard.

He broke the mayor's neck.

The mayor couldn't even scream as his eyes went wide with pain and shock and he fell unconscious, dropping to the ground.

"Mayor!" the people shouted.

"Father!" the chubby young man shouted as well. They rushed to the mayor with some of them grabbing onto Ning. However, it was too late.

The mayor's neck had been snapped once more and he was in a coma now. Ning couldn't help but smile at his own work. He turned toward his daughter who had a horrified look and winked at her before turning to look at the people that grabbed him.

"Would you kindly let go of me?" he asked. "I don't want to hurt you people who are only following orders."

"You hurt our mayor. You won't get away from this freely," one of the men said.

"Oh!" Ning said with a surprised face. "I can't get away from here freely you say. Am I being compensated or something? Were you that unhappy with your mayor?"

The other people turned to look at Ning before turning back around toward the mayor to look at him. The ones that held onto Ning looked at him with a face that only a sane person would have when looking at an insane one.

"You are not mentally right, brother," one of them said.

"Well, he did just threaten to hurt my daughter," Ning said, looking at the man. "What did you expect me to do? Just stand around and let you all attack her?"

"What?" someone asked. "Your daughter?" another asked.

"Of course," Ning said. "And of course, the 20 million Fire coins were a joke as well. Haha, I was not going to make him pay me that much for something I had initially done for free."

The people were confused as to what exactly was going on. "Papa?" Emma called from the side. A few of them turned to look toward the girl who was making her way to the barricade. "Papa, what is going on?" she asked.

"Emma, honey. Were you attacked by this man and his people?" Ning asked while being held onto by the other people.

Emma nodded. "That man came to me and asked me if I was going to sell Umbra, Lory, and Lyra. When I said no, he tried to beat me and take them away."

"So I beat them all, but left that one mostly unharmed to take them all back," she said, pointing at the man that was with the mayor.

The man turned when hearing the voice and was more than scared by Emma's presence. There was no way he wanted to fight her at all.

"You hear that?" Ning asked the others around me. "The mayor is the bad guy here."

"You expect us to believe it just like that?" one of them said. "We will hear both sides of the story," another said.

"Even if your daughter is not guilty, you are. You won't get away from this freely," finally another one said.

Ning sighed. He had to use a different method then.
