Chapter 596: Chapter 596

"This old man is a scoundrel living in our neighborhood, we all know him."

If it hadn’t come to this, perhaps these people wouldn’t have spoken up. Sometimes, all it takes is one person to lead. Once Du You stepped forward, those who knew the old man also stepped up.

The old man hadn’t anticipated things would turn out this way. Even though he’d always been a scoundrel, while surrounded by onlookers, he had never been attacked this uniformly.

Enraged, the old man bellowed at the crowd: "What the hell are you all babbling about? Shut up! She’s my own daughter; don’t I have a right to voice a few words? Now she’s all grown-up and doesn’t acknowledge me. Oh, how hard my life is."

The old man, shouting and sitting on the ground like a nagging woman, made the crowd despise him even more.

"Funny, I’ve never heard of someone who sold off their child expecting them to provide for them in their old age. Plus, even if you want to buy her back, you should compensate for the loss, right? This is already stated by law, or do you plan on just taking her back for free?"

"I think it’s better to let go, can’t you see how well he’s doing? Without sufficient resources, how could he become a Professional? Him reaching 8-star status is due to his own talent, what does it have to do with this old fart?"

"I knew all along. He who can bully people blatantly in the middle of the street, who knows what else he might do once he’s back home? This old fart, I think we should just hand him over to the Law Enforcement Team."

The old man never saw this coming. In the past, whenever he retaliated, no one would touch him. After all, nobody wants to step in shit. But what on Earth happened today? All these people just started insulting him the minute he opened his mouth, and it’s escalating.

How could he possibly out-talk all these people?

The old man’s eldest son, a bit less shameless than his father, couldn’t bear it any longer: "Dad, we... why don’t we just go home?" he whispered, tugging at the old man’s clothes.

The old man’s face changed: "What nonsense are you talking? Why should we go home? They’re so powerful now. If they assist you, your future will be much easier. Why should they be living the good life while we suffer at home?"

Toward the two, the old man yelled: "Today, you either come home with me or give me a thousand, no, ten thousand red crystal coins. Otherwise, this matter won’t end."

Du You wasn’t furious anymore. In his view, this old scoundrel was simply a clown. He could now watch this farce from a bystander’s perspective. But, if it wasn’t for the connection through Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha, he would have gotten rid of someone old man already.

Under the current laws of the world, Professionals are protected. An ordinary person daring to offend a high-level Professional could be killed and settled with compensation. Not to mention this old man, who was going too far.

Du You sneered, "Wanting red crystal coins is impossible. If you disagree, then we might as well find an authenticating organization or Law Enforcement. I’d like to see what they have to say." The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

"No way, we don’t need anyone else. We’ll settle it right here."

Du You didn’t pay any attention and directly opened his wristwatch to contact the authentication organization. The reason they had sought formal authentication in the first place was precisely to avoid such troubles. And when it comes to handling such stuff, the authentication organization does their job right.

"Damn, who asked you to contact them? Stop him!" snarled the old man clawing his way over. On his command, the old man’s elder son also rushed over, drawing a knife.

Well, it was now clear how this man lived his life. The knife in his hand was just a simple alloy knife, merely verified, not even looted equipment. Despite being a Warrior, there was no Dou Qi in him.

Even if Du You didn’t test it, he could feel it. Also, this man didn’t use any skills. He wondered if he didn’t have any. Such a person, even among Professionals, would be the lowest of the low.

Du You watched them coldly. After all, they were the first to fight.

Just as Du You was about to make a move, the two sisters beat him to it. They didn’t even use their longbows, just flicked their fingers.

A golden Demon Extermination Arrow shot from Lin Yucha’s hand, displaying a small portion of its power. But the level of the arrow was nonetheless displayed. The arrow hit the steel knife in the hands of the old man’s older son. A tremendous force rushed out and sent him flying.

The old man’s older son sat on the ground dumbfounded, looking at his weapon lying there with a deep mark on it. If the power had been increased a bit more, the knife would have been pierced. Having faced such a violent attack for the first time since becoming a Professional gave him a fright. Since when had his two timid sisters become so powerful?

Meanwhile, Lin Yushi fired a Shock Arrow. Without even showing the arrow, the powerful vibration shook the air, turning the charging old man into a somersault and landing him on the ground.

Clutching his waist, the old man roared, "You two ungrateful brats, not even sparing your own father!"

Du You ignored the bully as he connected with the certification agency.

"Hello, how may I assist you?"

Du You promptly reported the certification number from his previous transaction, "This was certified by me back then, and now the seller is causing trouble. Also, I’ve recorded the situation via my wristwatch, I’ll send it over."

The old man, who had been crying earlier, instantly clamped his mouth shut, a flash of terror in his eyes. He hadn’t expected that the other party would rather escalate the problem to such an extent that a formal institution would intervene. Initially, he reckoned the young man wouldn’t dare make a fuss given his daughter’s involvement.

"Please, I was wrong. I won’t bother you again."

Du You disregarded him. If one could believe what such a person says, then pigs might fly.

"Rest assured. Since we confirmed this transaction, we’ll take responsibility until the very end. We’ll provide a satisfactory response and solution to this matter permanently."

Suddenly, Du You felt the two sisters clutch his hand a little tighter. He sighed and said again, "I’m awaiting the good news. If possible, try not to hurt anyone."
