"Think you can escape?"
Gu Sheng's mouth curved into a faint smile as he casually aimed and squeezed the trigger of the crossbow.
The deaths of Mu Qingyuan and Mu Qinghe had thrown Mu Qingwen into disarray. He stumbled as he fled, his steps chaotic, and he didn't make it far before an arrow pierced his skull.
"Ah! Initially, I just wanted to extort a bit of money from you all. It turns out it's hard to persuade the damned when doom's at hand!"
As Gu Sheng mocked them with his words, his hands were far from idle. After securing the Shattering Star Crossbow at his waist, he immediately began rummaging through the three bodies meticulously.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Gu Sheng discovered a small box on Gu Qingyuan's body. Earlier, he hadn't noticed it due to their simple disguises.
The edges of the wooden box were gilded, making it look exceptionally valuable.
"Could there be some treasure inside?"
