Chapter 726: Chapter 289: The Safe in the Laboratory [10,000 Words]

Mu Rufeng ascended to the second floor, arrived at the butler’s room door, opened it, and walked in, tossing ten million into the fireplace.

Then similarly, he made his way to the third floor and tossed another ten million into that fireplace.

After thinking it over, he simply added an additional ten million.

He figured it would save him frequent trips to the third floor, as he would still need to conserve some uses of his Universal Key.

By the time Mu Rufeng returned to the first floor, the Contractors were still there.

However, they had all gathered in front of the fireplace.

"Look, look, under this black ash, there really are soul banknotes."

"Oh my god, if we grab a handful, wouldn’t we be rich?"

"This flame seems fierce; which of you daring souls will try this fire?"

The Contractors quietly discussed amongst themselves.

Mu Rufeng stood behind the group, watching as a male Contractor reached directly into the fireplace with a metal rod.

It was this metal rod that scraped away the black ash, revealing the burning soul banknotes underneath.

Truth be told, if someone really ignored these flames, they could indeed snatch quite a few soul banknotes.

However, it was challenging because the Level 5 item, the metal rod, had already turned red-hot, clearly indicating the extreme danger of the flames.

"Since you’re not making use of the opportunity, let me try."

Yalu looked around, sneered, and then thrust the metal rod forcefully into a stack of banknotes, piercing it straight through.

Then Yalu immediately pulled the metal rod back.

The soul banknotes on the rod were burning, but when he took it out of the fireplace, the burning notes miraculously extinguished.

Several damaged soul banknotes fused together into a few brand new, intact ones.

Yalu then quickly grabbed the soul banknotes from the rod.

"Ha ha, hit the jackpot, over ten thousand," Yalu said with a smug smile on his face.

The rest of the Contractors, upon seeing this, had a gleam in their eyes.

"You, what are you doing?" Mu Rufeng spoke slowly.

When the people heard Mu Rufeng’s voice, they were startled and immediately turned to look behind them.

Mu Rufeng was standing right behind them.

The Contractors quickly collected their scheming thoughts, then conscientiously moved aside to clear a path.

"Stew...Steward, I..." Yalu didn’t know what to say, his heart pounding with fright.

Why, why had this guy come back so quickly after just a short while?

"I remember, you also tossed something into the fireplace just now, didn’t you?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.

"No...no, Steward, I’m sorry, I just saw there were so many soul banknotes inside, I got tempted for a moment," Yalu hastily apologized, then threw the ten thousand plus soul banknotes back into the fireplace.

"I’ll compensate, I’ll compensate." Yalu took out more than twenty thousand soul banknotes from his Item Slot and tossed them into the fireplace.

Yalu was inwardly pained; this made things worse, really putting the saying ’stealing chickens without gaining rice’ into practice.

"The task is unfulfilled, and I lost my twenty-four thousand yuan! It hurts, it hurts so much," Yalu thought sorrowfully.

"I’m asking you, what did you throw into the fireplace before?" Mu Rufeng asked again, unconcerned about him throwing the soul banknotes back in.

"No...nothing, Steward," Yalu shook his head, looking fearfully at Mu Rufeng.

"Nothing? Heh," Mu Rufeng scoffed.

"Boom!" Just then, another rumble came from outside, and the Ancient Castle shook again.

Mu Rufeng turned to look outside; the giant monster was still attacking. He then shifted his gaze back to Yalu.

"You’ve got quite a mouth on you."

Mu Rufeng sneered, walked up to the fireplace, bent down, and reached inside.

After searching for about a minute, Mu Rufeng pulled out a finger bone and a piece of hand bone.

Without saying a word, he attached the finger bone to the hand bone, fitting it perfectly.

"Heh, so it wasn’t just once but twice. Looks like you first threw the finger bone in without my knowing, and then after everyone came down, you threw in this piece of hand bone, didn’t you?" Mu Rufeng said lightly, looking at Yalu.

"Steward, no, I really didn’t," Yalu said, his face full of grievance.

Mu Rufeng quietly activated his ability and then asked again, "I’ll ask you one more time, did you throw it or not?"

"Mr. Mu, it was me who threw it. When I saw you went to the third floor, I came down and threw the finger bone in."

"Later, when I came down and saw the fireplace still burning, I threw the entire hand bone in. If the Steward has evidence, then please present it, otherwise, I won’t accept this," Yalu said.

Mu Rufeng chuckled softly, not responding.

The other Contractors looked at Yalu in shock.

They admired Yalu for daring to confess in front of someone as formidable as the Level 9 Ghost Emperor.

Is this guy not right in the head? An idiot?

"Very well, you admitted it yourself," Mu Rufeng said coldly.

"Ah? No, I didn’t admit it, it really was me who threw it, you have no evidence, don’t accuse me falsely, it really was me," Yalu quickly argued.

Yes, yes, yes, you didn’t throw it, you see how many times you’ve admitted it yourself?

The group of Contractors looked at Yalu as if he were a fool.
