"Blinding one eye... $500. If you want follow-up service and a broken leg, it'll cost $200. If you want someone killed, that'll be $1000, Sis Feng," the curly-haired man mumbled to himself.
Ye Wanwan: "..."
"Oh right, Sis Feng... how many people do you plan to kill today? We have a discount: Kill 10 and you get 1 free, kill 20 and you get 3 free." The curly-haired man looked at Ye Wanwan.
"Are you... truly that poor...?" Ye Wanwan couldn't control her lips from twitching.

Ye Wanwan didn't know whether to cry or laugh after hearing that. No wonder Nameless Nie was so poor and considered money as important as his life despite being the eldest young master of the Nie family. It turned out he truly was poor.

Also, Nameless Nie's oath was very problematic. If he used the Nie family's money, his whole family would die...
This way, even if Nameless Nie begged on his knees, Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie wouldn't give a single penny to Nameless Nie...
