Many wooden boards stood on both sides of the streets. Every board was covered with various kinds of warrants. Besides detailing the wanted criminal, what stood out even more were the rewards that were offered, which were circled in red ink.
One of the wooden boards was much larger than the others. Ji Fengyan walked over curiously to look at it. On it was pasted a large warrant for arrest, and the words “Blood Tribe” were written clearly on it.
Below the name of the Blood Tribe was a series of stunning numbers.
“Five hundred thousand gold coins?” Ji Fengyan looked at the reward offered below the warrant for the Blood Tribe and raised her brows slightly.
Five hundred thousand gold coins was no small sum. The amount sufficed to buy a small city.
“That’s the warrant for the Blood Tribe. Basically, every wanted criminal of note in the entire country is posted on these boards.” The Poison King’s gaze swept over the surrounding boards and, among the layers of warrants, found the one belonging to him.
“Hehe, the reward for my capture is big. No wonder those bounty hunters were chasing me up and down. Those fellows really got a good deal.” The Poison King tore down his warrant and waved it in front of Ji Fengyan’s eyes.
Ji Fengyan saw that it showed a reward of nine thousand gold coins. She looked again at the sky high reward of five hundred thousand offered for the Blood Tribe…
The Poison King’s face reddened, and he cleared his throat and said, “That’s because they are an entire tribe, that’s why the reward is so big. I… I am only one person. It’s already quite a large sum. You should know that as long as the reward exceeds a thousand gold coins, we consider you a terrible villain.”
“Oh.” Ji Fengyan pursed her lips, her face expressionless.
The Poison King felt that he should not speak to Ji Fengyan like that. “Well, I guess your warrant will arrive before long. Considering the crimes you have committed, I estimate your reward will exceed at least ten thousand.”
Compared to the havoc that Ji Fengyan had wreaked in the capital city, the Poison King felt the crimes he had committed previously were insignificant.
Perhaps the Poison King spoke too loudly, but his words involuntarily attracted the attention of several burly men that were passing by. When the burly men heard of a reward that exceeded ten thousand, they immediately glanced at Ji Fengyan, only to discover that she was a young, pretty girl. They could not help but laugh dismissively.
A reward that exceeded ten thousand?
Anyone holding a warrant with a reward that exceeded ten thousand only had to bring the warrant to the Blood Tribe’s headquarters, and he would be immediately accepted, and given the highest position.
There were innumerable villains in the Free Valley. Besides comparing their fighting skills, they mostly compared the size of the rewards on their individual warrants. A larger reward indicated that the person was more capable and was direct proof of his fighting skills.
It could be said that in Fu Guang City, a person’s status was more or less correlated with the reward offered for him.
Ji Fengyan was not interested in these matters. “Where is the friend you spoke of?”
The Poison King carefully rolled up his warrant and put it away before saying, “He’s nearby. I’ll bring you there. Don’t worry, my friend has stayed in Fu Guang City for quite a long time. Now that we’re here, he will certainly take care of us.”
As he spoke, the Poison King led Ji Fengyan towards the end of the street. However, he was unaware that several hostile glances were already following them.
