Inside the clothing store, when the greasy middle-aged man's voice rang out, Hu Die, who was about to pay, instinctively frowned.
But soon her brows relaxed again, and she continued to scan the code to pay.
After she finished paying, she came to Lin Ye's side.
"The clothes have been bought, let's go."
Lin Ye nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
"Then I'll go change back into my old clothes."
"No need, just throw away your old clothes and wear this new set directly."
"Uh... okay." After some hesitation, Lin Ye nodded.
His clothes, all from Pinduoduo, weren't even as expensive as one pair of his current socks, so there was really no need to wear them again.
However, just as Hu Die was about to take him away, the greasy middle-aged man suddenly brought his female companion and blocked the store entrance.
"General Manager Hu, we are business partners after all. You saw me and didn't even greet me. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Oh, and this one next to you wouldn't happen to be the toy boy you've recently taken in, would he? I knew it, how can a woman do without a man, especially a woman like you in her thirties, it's the age when you need a man the most."
"But this kind of young boy is still a bit too green."
The more the greasy man spoke, the more enraged Hu Die's expression became.
The next second, she glared fiercely at the greasy man in front of her.
"Mr. Li, please speak with respect. Don't act like you've eaten a pile of dung all day. Do you want me to expose your dirty little secrets?"
"If you don't, then get lost."
Her words immediately broke through the greasy middle-aged man's composure.
"Hu Die, don't you dare be so arrogant with me. Last time you were given a chance but didn't take it, and I didn't bother with you, but you've repeatedly ruined my plans. When I get my hands on you someday, I'll let you know what I'm capable of!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hu Die stomped hard on the top of his shoe with her high heel, causing him to yelp in pain on the spot.
In his extreme pain, he lost his temper and even raised his hand to slap Hu Die's face.
However, before his palm could land, a hand grabbed his wrist, and the owner of this hand was Lin Ye.
Seeing his wrist grabbed by Lin Ye, the greasy man immediately cursed:
"Toy boy, get lost, or I'll beat you up too."
As he spoke, he tried to pull his right hand free, but he quickly found that no matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't break free from Lin Ye's grip.
Lin Ye's hand gripped his tightly, like a hydraulic clamp.
And as time passed, the force was gradually increasing.
Gradually, a pained expression appeared on the greasy man's face, as if his wrist was enduring immense pressure.
In reality, this was indeed the case, because at this moment, it wasn't just Lin Ye's hand gripping his wrist, but also two invisible Magician's Hands.
These two Magician's Hands could each exert about 100 jin of force, which combined to 200 jin, plus Lin Ye's own grip strength, even an ordinary strongman might not be able to compare.
"Let go! Let go quickly! My hand is about to break! Ah!"
In a flash, cold sweat began to bead on the greasy man's forehead.
Hu Die, standing nearby, looked at him with surprise, seeing him in such pain. She could only imagine the immense force he must be enduring at this moment.
Just then, Lin Ye suddenly said coldly:
"Apologize!"
Hearing his words, the greasy man, who was already in unbearable pain, immediately spoke:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I spewed a mouthful of feces, I'm a bastard."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Ye slowly released his right wrist, simultaneously dispelling the Magician's Hands.
And on the greasy man's wrist, there were now five deep handprints.
Frightened by Lin Ye, he gasped for air while quickly leading his female companion to make way for Hu Die.
"Let's go," Lin Ye said softly to Hu Die, who was standing beside him.
Hu Die, as if waking from a dream, nodded and then prepared to walk out of the store.
However, just then, the greasy man, who had just moved aside, suddenly spoke again.
"Hu Die! Don't get too smug. As long as this thing is in my hands, you'll have to listen to me sooner or later."
"You wouldn't want the videos of your sisters to be circulated, would you?"
At these words, a hint of panic immediately flashed across Hu Die's face.
The next second, she glared fiercely at the greasy man.
"Li Haichao! You bastard, aren't you afraid of legal sanctions!"
"Law! I haven't broken any laws. They all willingly came with me back then, and the videos were recorded voluntarily. How have I broken the law?" The greasy man laughed with a lecherous expression, a hard drive appearing in his left hand at some unknown point.
Lin Ye, seeing this scene, was curious and couldn't help but quietly ask Hu Die:
"What's in that?"
Hearing this question, Hu Die hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"They are some intimate videos of girls. He initially tricked a group of girls by pretending to recruit models, and then made them take some indecent photos and videos."
"He often uses these to threaten those girls. I never thought a person could be so shameless."
"So that's how it is." After hearing Hu Die's explanation, Lin Ye suddenly understood, and his eyes grew cold.
"So this person is not only foul-mouthed but also a scumbag."
At this moment, the greasy man, having finished showing off, casually put the hard drive back into his pocket.
"Hu Die, I just love that look in your eyes, where you hate me but can't do anything about me. We'll have a chance to meet again."
With that, he prepared to leave with his female companion.
However, at this moment, Lin Ye suddenly blocked his path.
Looking at Lin Ye, who appeared in front of him, the greasy man was clearly flustered for a moment.
"What do you want to do! This is a public place, a society governed by law. Hitting people is illegal."
"Don't worry, I won't hit you. I just want to get a good look at your face," Lin Ye said with a slight smile.
"Alright, you're done. You can go now."
After saying this, Lin Ye walked to the side, leaving the greasy man looking confused.
Seeing Lin Ye voluntarily move aside, the greasy man immediately took his female companion and quickly left the clothing store.
After he left, Lin Ye came before Hu Die, who was full of confusion.
Before Hu Die could speak, he spoke first:
"Put out your hand, I'll show you a magic trick."
"Hmm? A magic trick now? What kind of magic trick?" Hu Die grew even more puzzled.
"You don't need to worry about it, you just need to put out your hand."
Although she still didn't quite understand what Lin Ye was going to do, Hu Die still extended her right hand.
The next second, to her astonishment, Lin Ye pulled a hard drive from his pocket and placed it in her hand.
"How about that, isn't this magic trick surprising enough?"
Looking at the familiar hard drive in her hand, Hu Die was first stunned, then overjoyed.
She knew without a doubt that this hard drive was the very one the greasy man had just taken out.
"When did you get that from him?!"
"Don't forget, I'm a Magician. There's nothing in this world I can't get my hands on." As he spoke, Lin Ye's face was full of confidence.
"By the way, wait for me here. I'm going to the restroom."
Hearing this, Hu Die, with a smile on her face, nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, you go."
The next second, Lin Ye walked towards the restroom not far away.
Upon arriving at the men's restroom, he casually chose an empty stall, and after confirming no one else was nearby, he took out a raven doll from his pocket.
"Brian, transform into that fat bastard from earlier."
As soon as he finished speaking, the raven doll transformed into Brian's appearance, and after a series of changes, Brian transformed into the appearance of the greasy man from earlier.
Looking at Brian, who was identical to the greasy man from earlier, Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction.
"Brian, transform into him without clothes, then run naked around the mall 10 times, and then stroll through those shops."
"After you're done strolling, come find me, and be careful not to be discovered."
"Yes, Master."
As soon as Brian finished speaking, his clothes vanished without a trace.
Then, in the guise of the greasy man from earlier, he swaggered around the mall naked.
Wherever he went, screams erupted, and of course, there were plenty of people raising their phones to take photos and videos.
It wouldn't be long before these photos and videos appeared on the internet.
The greasy man surnamed Li would soon become a nationally famous internet celebrity. His friends, his family, and his company colleagues would all know about his glorious deeds.
More importantly, his streaking in a public place like a mall would also violate the Dragon Country's public security management law, leading to detention and possibly administrative penalties; 15 days in custody would be unavoidable.
And this was Lin Ye's punishment for him.
After casually punishing this scumbag, Lin Ye and Hu Die returned to Black Rose Bar together.
After signing the contract and discussing issues such as performance times and number of shows, Lin Ye prepared to leave Black Rose Bar.
As agreed, he would begin his personal magic debut at Black Rose Bar at 11:30 PM tonight, and he needed to go back and prepare well.
Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something.
"General Manager Hu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Die interrupted him.
"Don't call me General Manager Hu anymore. Just call me big sister," Hu Die said softly.
"Big sister, could you advance me twenty thousand yuan? You can deduct it from my salary," Lin Ye said after some hesitation.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Hu Die took out her phone.
"Open your QR code for payment."
"Huh?" Lin Ye hadn't expected her to be so straightforward.
Seeing Lin Ye stunned, Hu Die suddenly laughed.
"What, you don't want the money anymore?"
"If you ever need money in the future, just tell me directly, no need to hesitate. Just think of me as your older sister." As she spoke, Hu Die patted his shoulder. "You helped me a great deal just now. Let alone twenty thousand yuan, if you asked me for two hundred thousand, I would give it to you."
Lin Ye also smiled upon hearing this.
A minute later, his phone showed an additional twenty thousand yuan.
After receiving the money, he bid farewell to Hu Die and turned to leave Black Rose Bar.
Twenty thousand yuan plus his 100 gold coins was enough to buy the daily special item in the mysterious shop.
