Chapter 672: Chapter 672: I Will Join As Well Chapter 672: Chapter 672: I Will Join As Well Daniel felt that the most severe issue at the moment was not the fractures all over his body.
Because his broken bones were almost completely healed.
What he needed most now was to regain his strength.
After suffering from malnutrition for so long, he hadn’t drunk a single sip of water or eaten a bite of food in three days. Even an iron-clad body couldn’t withstand that.
Lin Dong continuously infused his body with Inner Qi.
At the same time, he also took out a ‘Resuscitating Pill’ from his bosom.
This ‘Resuscitating Pill,’ aside from saving lives, could also nurture the origin and strengthen the foundation. Once Daniel consumed it, he would recover his former health.
Even his physical condition would be somewhat better than before.
Three minutes after Daniel swallowed the ‘Resuscitating Pill,’ Lin Dong asked, “Daniel, how are you feeling now?”
Daniel replied, “I feel great right now, I could beat a cow to death.”
He stood up and punched a big tree beside him. To everyone’s surprise, he actually made a dent in the tree.
Lin Dong was astonished. This was without cultivating any martial arts. Relying solely on his physical strength, he was this powerful.
If he were to cultivate martial arts and become a martial artist, he’d likely be invincible among his peers!
Lin Dong asked, “Daniel, I’ve come back this time planning to take you away from Fulong Village. Are you willing?”
Daniel hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, “Okay.”
Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Daniel agree. He had been a little worried that Daniel, stubborn as he was, wouldn’t want to leave Fulong Village with him.
Thankfully, he agreed.
“Let’s go, back to the village!” Lin Dong said solemnly.
Daniel’s step-mother and Zeng Xiaoniu treated Daniel so poorly, Lin Dong wasn’t going to let them off easily.
Subsequently, Lin Dong brought Daniel back to Fulong Village.
Upon arriving at the Zeng family’s door, they found that quite a crowd had already gathered there.
There was a large open space at the Zeng family’s door, and within that space, a table had been set up with a group of people gambling around it.
This was an annual occurrence in the village during the first lunar month.
Most of these people were the younger folks from the village.
Seeing Lin Dong escorting Daniel over, the crowd turned to look at them.
Zeng Xiaoniu was among them, and he said in surprise, “Daniel, you didn’t die from that?”
Daniel didn’t respond to him.
“Haha, well done, really tough. In the future, you can deal with the guys from the casino whenever they come,” Zeng Xiaoniu said cheerfully.
“There won’t be such an opportunity in the future because Daniel will be leaving Fulong Village with me from now on!” Lin Dong said gravely.
“Leaving Fulong Village?” Upon hearing this, Zhang Guifen, Zeng Xiaoniu’s mother, sneered, “You think you can just leave whenever you say so? Daniel is part of our family, and he still needs to work on our farm.”
After speaking, she turned to Daniel and said coldly, “Foolish Ox, so you’re really betraying your own for outsiders. You see Lin Dong doing well and decide to leave your family to enjoy the good life? Hmph, let me tell you, it won’t be that easy!”
Upon hearing her shameless words, Lin Dong’s face turned utterly dark.
Daniel turned to look at his step-mother and retorted for the first time:
“Although you all call me Foolish Ox, I’m not stupid at all. The reason I’ve been putting up with you is that after all, I’m still my father’s son. I owe him my life, and I’m here to repay that debt.”
“No matter how you treated me, I always endured. But this time, you threw me into the mountain and left me to fend for myself, essentially repaying your debt with my life. From now on, I owe you nothing.”
“I will follow Dongzi and leave Fulong Village, and no one can stop me!!!!!”
After saying this, he glared at his step-mother.
It was the first time his step-mother saw him angry, and she took a few startled steps back.
Zeng Xiaoniu’s eyes flickered as he suddenly said, “Lin Dong, it’s not that Daniel can’t leave Fulong Village with you, but you have to pay.”
“We’ve raised him for so many years; you can’t just take him away for nothing.”
“Pay money?” Lin Dong asked with an almost mocking smile, “How much do you want?”
“This…” Zeng Xiaoniu hesitated, then stated an amount, “Five hundred thousand!”
“Okay,” Lin Dong nodded.
Seeing Lin Dong agree so readily, Zeng Xiaoniu regretted his offer and quickly corrected himself, “I misspoke, make it one million!”
Lin Dong laughed coldly yet still nodded, “Okay. One million it is!”
Zeng Xiaoniu was delighted, having not expected to sell his foolish brother for a whole million.
Right there and then, Lin Dong had Ah Lang bring over a suitcase.
Upon opening it, it was filled with stacks of hundred-yuan bills. A total of a hundred stacks, amounting to one million!
Zeng Xiaoniu eagerly took the money, utterly thrilled.
His mother, seeing this, grinned so wide she could hardly close her mouth.
“Lin Dong, I have no objections now. If you had said you were willing to pay earlier, how could I have disagreed? You can even buy me if you’d like.”
Lin Dong didn’t bother with her. He would soon leave such a shameless woman with nothing to cry about.
At that moment, he turned toward the gambling table and laughingly said:
“Everyone seems to be having such a good time. How about I join in for a bit of fun, too?”
Upon hearing this, the people there all had their eyes light up.
The gamblers, mostly the idle hands in the village who hadn’t received Lin Dong’s New Year’s red packets, were all green with envy and had been thinking of ways to get some money from Lin Dong.
They hadn’t expected Lin Dong to offer himself up.
Betting at the table year-round, they thought taking money from a newbie like Lin Dong would be like taking candy from a baby.
“Great! Lin Dong, you’re most welcome!” Zeng Xiaoniu was the first one to shout out, excited because he had just obtained a huge sum of one million from Lin Dong, which could serve as his gambling capital.
He planned to use that one million to win even more from Lin Dong.
The others joined in as well.
“Sure, Lin Dong, we welcome you to join.”
“Let’s have some fun together!”
