The man in the suit grabbed my neck and lifted me up.

I was deprived of breath and my face turned purple, but I wasn't actually scared. I was gambling that Ning Wenyun wouldn't allow me to die at someone else's hands.

[Do you want to exchange 10 points for 1 billion units of real currency?]

I saw his fading pupils as he clicked "yes."

[Exchange successful. Friendly reminder from the system: Your current points are not enough to support the host's use of skills. Please continue to assist Ning Wenyun in solving the stone, obtain energy in a timely manner, and reopen the memory modification skill. Plunder the luck!]

"Let go of A Yun! I'll give you the 1 billion units right now!" He looked eager, just like a good brother.

The man in the suit looked at the black card in his hand. He loosened his grip and I fell to the ground, my face turning red as I gasped for air.

"How do I know if there's really 1 billion units in here?" The man in the suit took the black card but didn't release everyone.

"You can go to the bank and check now." Ning Wenyun's confident appearance surprised the man in the suit.

For me, the opportunity to save my life had arrived.

"I know you're suspicious. Let me accompany you to check, and you can assign people to guard the rest of them. We won't be able to go anywhere." I volunteered to be a hostage.

He skeptically looked between the two of us for a long time, but in the end, he agreed to my suggestion.

The balance on the ATM machine showed exactly 0 billion units.

I was locked in a rundown motel while waiting for the scheduled transfer. Several bodyguards stood outside the door.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that the man in the suit opened the door.

"Alright, you can go now. Consider yourselves smart." The money had been transferred.

I nodded and ran out with all my strength, stumbling all the way to the train station.

I had no money and no ID.

The only choice was to blend into the crowd of ticket inspectors and rush through the gate.

Watching the queue in front of me, which was less than half a meter away.

"Xiao Yun, where are you going? How can you leave without telling your family?" A familiar female voice came from behind.

A needle pierced my spine, and the icy liquid entered my body once again. I fell into her warm embrace.

The pain in my wrist awakened me. I was surrounded by an iron cage made of steel bars as thick as an adult man's thumb, and a chain connected to each ring held me in the center of the cage.

"Is what you said earlier true or false?" The family head questioned Ning Wenyun with his back turned to me.

"Of course, it's true. A Yun's perspective eyes can easily see through the internal structure of each rough gemstone." My brother casually revealed my biggest secret.

The family head pondered for a moment and said, "Then do as you said. Since this ungrateful wolf won't use his eyes for the good of the family, we'll dig out his eyes and find someone else."
