Chapters 600-613 Debt Collection
600-601 At the Su Manor, NL is waiting outside and has Ling Feng send SL breakfast. He mentally promises to spoil her more, and the two make plans to raid the CP's treasury.
602-603 As SL and NL flirt, the CP's manor is in panic as they are unable to repay the debt and the CP has escaped through a secret passage. ML is the highest ranked after the CP since he hasn't taken a formal wife, and is disgusted at his behaviour, in fear over NL and still unsure how much the CP actually owes.
604-605 NL arrives, but rages when he can't find the CP. ML arrives to settle the matter, feeling jealous of NL's affections towards SL, and then shock at the size of the debt.
606-607 ML attempts to negotiate, but NL offers 100 green crystals to whoever finds the CP. The bounty moves thousands of guards (third ranked and above) to rampage the areas the CP frequents and his various property, causing those closest to him to hate him since he could stop the rampaging but hid instead. This also damages the CP's reputation as people gossip about him fleeing to avoid debt, while elevating NL since even the CP fears him.
608-610 The CP is in the Empress's compound recounting how he came to owe SL and NL. The Empress asks if he regrets letting SL go, telling him that now it's too late. She then comforts him, saying the debt is only 1,500 green crystals since she doesn't think SL would appear in front of them to demand it. The CP mentions NL will collect on her behalf since she and NL are intimate, but is talked by the Empress into believing NL is just playing with her. The Empress also assures him that she can get the Emperor to dismiss the debt with NL by regarding it as a joke between brothers.
611 A eunuch reports to the CP and Empress about the size of the force NL has mobilized to find him. The CP faints as his reputation is damaged and all his wealth is pillaged or destroyed.
612 The mobs, including BY, uncover the CP's hidden and disreputable properties - auction houses, brothels and casinos - before destroying them.
613 The Empress tells the CP to get a hold of himself - as the son of the woman who had NL's mother beaten to death, the CP shouldn't balk at facing NL. They arrive before the Emperor and recount the past events. The Emperoralready dislikes SL as NL's rejection of LYY has damaged his relationship with the Jade Lake.
