Chaotic Martial Arts: I Have Too Many Brothers

Chapter 1: No Good End for Those Who Eat Alone

"We're rich! We're rich!"

"That's a full two hundred taels!"

Outside the city, inside a dilapidated temple, several figures were gathered together, excitedly looking at the money bag in front of them.

Two hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live a normal life for several years.

Even if it's divided among several of them, it's enough for each of them to live a carefree life for a long time.

In this situation, the only one who could remain calm was a young man standing on the outside.

"What's going on? Did I time travel?"

Ye Tian glanced around calmly, his mind hazy, his memory still stuck on the moment the bullet flew toward him.

"Damn it, they're targeting me just because I stole a few tens of millions. None of them have any sense of loyalty."

Ye Tian was originally a mercenary abroad. He rose to the position of squad leader through his abilities and would smuggle money whenever he had the chance. Unexpectedly, his misdeeds were exposed.

But now it seems that after I died, I traveled through time, and even to a scene where the spoils were being divided.

Silver? In ancient times?

Before his memories could fully return, Ye Tian restrained himself from showing any abnormality, and instead put on a surprised expression.

"Snakehead Bro".

At that moment, someone nearby spoke up.

While rubbing his hands together, he looked excitedly at the man known as the snakehead.

"This money?"

The meaning in their eyes was self-evident: now that they had the money, it was time to divide it up. The others around them all looked over as well.

The man known as Snakehead was only in his thirties or forties. He had a sinister look in his eyes, as if he were a venomous snake. His gaze swept over the group of people before he picked up the money bag and weighed it in his hand.

"Don't worry, everyone. Since I'm leading you all on this project, I definitely won't treat you unfairly. And once we make money, I won't forget about you."

Several pairs of eyes immediately brightened.

Only Ye Tian.

"That sounds like you're about to start making empty promises."

I've been given so many empty promises that I'm almost developing PTSD.

"But," as expected, there was a twist.

"We can't split it this time."

Upon hearing this, the previously excited crowd immediately fell silent, their eyes widening, and the atmosphere began to change.

If it weren't for their fear of the smugglers, everyone would probably have just started robbing them after risking their lives to get the money.

Despite being stared at by so many eyes, the snakehead remained calm and confidently took out a wooden plaque from his waist. The plaque was ordinary, but what was extraordinary was that it had a black character engraved on it.

"This...this can't be a Blackwater Gang badge, can it?"

"Snakehead, you've joined the Blackwater Gang!"

The Blackwater Gang was a well-known gang in the area with many disciples, and even the government dared not provoke them. The few people who originally had some ulterior motives immediately backed down after seeing the waist token.

The snakehead smiled even more confidently.

"I'm just a nominal member, but with these two hundred taels to bribe me, I can become a formal member of the Blackwater Gang. At that time, making money will be a piece of cake."

"Once I become a leader, I might be able to recruit you all into the Blackwater Gang."

Hearing that they could join the Blackwater Gang, the group became even more excited.

These days, if ordinary people want to avoid being bullied and live a good life, they can only join a gang. But joining a gang isn't something you can do casually; spending money to bribe people is a common occurrence.

But surely that doesn't require two hundred taels?

But now nobody dares to say that.

"So, I won't divide these two hundred taels among myself. You don't have any objections, do you?"

The snakehead smiled confidently.

Divide money? Divide what money? There was never any intention to divide money from the beginning.

A bunch of worthless bastards, they can be easily dealt with, but they still want a share of the money?

"No objections! No objections!"

"Snakehead Bro was able to bring us into the Blackwater Gang; he was practically our second parents."

He shook his head repeatedly.

Perhaps some of them realized that the snakehead was just giving them the runaround, but the fact that he was a member of the Blackwater Gang made them dare not have any ulterior motives.

The smuggler smiled, weighed the money pouch in his hand a couple of times, and then prepared to put it directly into his pocket.

"Snakehead Bro".

At this moment, Ye Tian spoke.

"I've heard that people who eat alone will have sons who are born without an anus."

Memories are flooding back.

Ye Tian smiled gently, and his tone was also gentle, but his words made the surrounding air fall silent.

They all looked over in disbelief.

"What did you say! Say it again, you bastard!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the snakehead flew into a rage.

"Snakehead, I don't want to join the Blackwater Gang. Why don't you just give me the money directly?"

The other party won't accept your empty promises and is ready to send insults to your entire family.

In my past life, I was constantly being given empty promises, and now that I've transmigrated, are you still giving me empty promises?

You'd be better off believing I'm the Buddha than believing you can lead us to join the Blackwater Gang.

"You damned bastard, someone like you actually wants a share of the money!"

Clearly enraged, the snakehead rushed forward, grabbing Ye Tian's collar tightly and flashing a menacing light in his eyes.

The people around immediately joined in the criticism, seemingly thinking that this would make the snakehead appreciate them more.

"A piece of trash like you, born of some unknown bastard, if it weren't for..."

"Whoosh."

Before anyone could react, the snakehead suddenly stopped speaking, released his grip on Ye Tian, ​​and covered his neck in disbelief, blood flowing continuously from between his fingers.

In Ye Tian's hand, a blood-dripping dagger was now in his possession.

"I hate it when people insult my mom the most."

Ye Tian still smiled brightly.

This dagger, slightly rusty, was something the original owner always carried with him. Just now, when he heard the snakehead start making empty promises, Ye Tian quietly hid it under his sleeve.

Everyone else was stunned.

"You're crazy! He's..."

Strike first to gain the upper hand. In my memory, these people were just ordinary thugs, good at petty theft, but completely inexperienced in killing.

The dagger was aimed specifically at the neck; the body's agility was even better than Ye Tian had anticipated.

After dealing with everyone, Ye Tian stretched his slightly sore wrists.

Then, with a smile, he took the money bag containing two hundred taels of silver from the snakehead, weighed it in his hand a couple of times, and then put it in his pocket.

Seeing that the snake head was still breathing, Ye Tian said with a smile.

"See? I told you it's bad to eat alone. Now you don't even have a chance to have a son."

The snake head clutched its neck with both hands, its eyes glaring at Ye Tian with bloodshot eyes, but its mouth was full of blood and it couldn't speak.

Do you really dare to make a move?

You're a fucking idiot.

Ye Tian casually tore off a piece of cloth and began wiping the blood off the dagger, while pondering his next move.

In this era where arrest warrants are issued based on portraits, one can easily start a new life simply by changing one's appearance and going to a place where no one knows one.

of course.

Ye Tian thought of another way out. His gaze slowly shifted to the snake's head, which was gradually dying, mainly to look at the token with black characters engraved on it that had fallen to the ground.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound interrupted Ye Tian's thoughts.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ye Tian suddenly smiled. The golden finger exclusive to transmigrators had arrived!

[Host has been detected to have triggered a life choice]

[The Destiny System operates automatically]

[Option 1: Escape this place and start a new life! Reward: Basic loyalist +3, Tan Tui (a martial arts style) mastery.]

[Option Two: Substitute yourself for the snakehead in the Blackwater Gang! Reward: +3 to basic loyalty, mastery of Iron Wire Fist.]

Life choices? Ye Tian didn't rush to make a decision, his eyes flashing with thoughtful light.

Two choices mean two different life outcomes.

If given the choice, who wouldn't want a peaceful life? However, looking at the corpses on the ground, Ye Tian gradually made a decision. Born in a chaotic world, ordinary people have no choice at all.

However, there are other things to do before leaving.

"If I remember correctly, the snakehead seems to have a wife."

Staring at the snake head's corpse, Ye Tian's smile gradually became brighter.
