"What’s going on? That depends on what you did. Last night, you were drunk at Shangyue Building, killed a rcenary, and injured several brothers from the Gluttonous Wolf rcenary Group. You know that fighting is forbidden in rcenary City, yet you still blatantly broke the law. We are here under the orders of Alliance Leader Song to take you back." The rcenaries glared with nacing eyes.
There’s no governnt or garrison in rcenary City, the rcenary Alliance is the sole law enforcer.
Fighting is strictly prohibited within rcenary City, and violators are punished accordingly, with minor offenses resulting in detention, and severe offenses in execution.
Lan Cai’er was well aware of this rule.
"I admit I hurt people, but there was a reason for it. The n from Gluttonous Wolf were rude first and even tried to snatch my Spiritual Artifact. The waiter from the inn and Captain Dao from Blood Drink were there; you can ask them for confirmation. You’re arresting people indiscriminately, I won’t accept this." Lan Cai’er said indignantly.
She hadn’t even settled the scores with those n, and they had already falsely accused her first.
"It doesn’t matter if you accept it or not, you don’t have the final say. Co back with us, and if you are innocent, the Hierarch will surely grant you justice." After saying that, the enforcers of the Alliance, without further discussion, took out the shackles to capture Lan Cai’er.
"Hold on, who allowed you to touch her?" Yan Jiu sneered coldly.
The shackles in the hands of the enforcer were snatched away.
With a clang, the shackles were crushed into a lump of scrap tal.
"To think of capturing soone from ’Emperor’s Slaughter’, you do not possess the capability. If you want to take her, fine, but not with shackles." Wu Zhong and Yan Jiu exchanged glances.
Since the matter involved Lan Cai’er and Dao Ge, they might as well visit the rcenary Alliance to first figure out the whereabouts of Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing.
Faced with the notorious "Emperor’s Slaughter," the enforcing rcenary lost his nerve and could only bring the three of them back to the rcenary Alliance.
The usually bustling rcenary Alliance was solemn today.
Song Jingyun and his father Song Zhao were both present.
Among the groaning rcenaries, wrapped in bandages lying on stretchers, one was the vice leader of Gluttonous Wolf.
There was also a corpse torn in half.
These were all mbers of "Gluttonous Wolf."
There were also seventy to eighty furious rcenaries from Gluttonous Wolf present.
"As a longstanding rcenary group, the chief of ’Gluttonous Wolf,’ Jiao Chong, and Alliance Leader Song of the rcenary Alliance have always had good relations.
"Leader, you must help us get justice this ti. That woman, relying on her affiliation with ’Emperor’s Slaughter,’ got drunk and caused trouble, even snatching the hard-earned Earth-grade Spiritual Artifacts from several of our brothers. If we don’t get an explanation, we, Gluttonous Wolf, will definitely not let this go," Jiao Chong clamored loudly.
"Old Jiao, don’t get heated yet. I’ve already ordered people to detain the troublemaking female rcenary. As long as the investigation confirms what you’ve described, I, Song Zhao, am willing to stake my life on it, whether it’s ’Emperor’s Slaughter’ or any other rcenary team, anyone causing trouble in the city will have to pay with their life, an eye for an eye," Song Zhao had already inquired, she is just a newbie rcenary who recently arrived at rcenary City.
"Daughter, what exactly is the background of Lan Lan?" Song Zhao still felt uneasy and asked Song Jingyun.
"It’s just an ordinary female rcenary, with a bit of a temper. Father, if that woman really did sothing wrong, could you treat her a bit more leniently? She has so connection with Dao Ge." Song Jingyun spoke softly, in a gentle and delicate voice.
"Related to Ge’er?" Song Zhao was a bit surprised, and seeing his daughter’s appearance, which had grown haggard over these days, he imdiately understood the aning behind her words.
He snorted, and even though he had not yet t Lan Cai’er, his impression of her worsened.
Song Zhao secretly made up his mind; it seed that this female rcenary nad Lan Lan was not simple and could not be kept around.
After a while, several rcenaries brought Lan Cai’er in.
However, to Song Zhao and Song Jingyun’s surprise, it wasn’t just Lan Cai’er who ca, but also two team leaders from Emperor’s Slaughter joined her.
Song Zhao’s heart skipped a beat.
In the rcenary Alliance, most people knew that the two team leaders of "Emperor’s Slaughter" were old rcenaries, but very few knew that, years ago, the "Emperor’s Slaughter" duo had been undefeated in rcenary City, hailed as being able to hold off ten thousand foes singlehandedly; the two together matched a super rcenary group.
With both of them arriving together, today’s matter was likely not going to end amicably.
"Alliance Leader Song, long ti no see, hope you are well," Yan Jiu spoke with feigned smiles, glancing at the "Gluttonous Wolf" rcenaries lying on the ground.
Tsk, tsk, what a sloppy job.
If it were him, no one would be left here.
"Two team leaders, long ti no see; your cultivation has advanced even further," Alliance Hierarch Song’s forehead was already sweating.
He was an expert at the Fifth Level of Reincarnation, but facing these two, he could not fathom their cultivation level at all; just by standing there, they had greatly overshadowed his presence.
"Alliance Hierarch, why act so courteously with them? Di Hesha, listen, this female rcenary of yours beat up my n last night and even stole their Spiritual Artifact. I’ll let it slide this ti for your sake, as long as she hands over that Spiritual Artifact and compensates with a life," Jiao Chong, leader of the Gluttonous Wolf rcenary Group, reacted completely differently than the Alliance Hierarch, as he strode up to Wu Zhong and Yan Jiu.
He had heard of the reputation of Emperor’s Slaughter before and had felt so fear, but now seeing them, they weren’t anything special—just two young rcenaries, and both seemingly had no aura of Primordial Power around them, appearing even weaker than him in cultivation.
Thinking this, Jiao Chong beca even more fearless.
"Where did this wild dog co from, barking all over the place? You say our Lan Lan stole your Spiritual Artifact and beat people? She alone defeated five of your good-for-nothing n? Even if she did beat them, that’s because your n are useless and deserved it. In the rcenary World, the strong are respected. Five n couldn’t handle one woman, and you still have the face to seek reasoning? Aren’t you embarrassed? I’m embarrassed for you," Yan Jiu threw a verbal knife, leaving the Gluttonous Wolf’s team completely devalued, while simultaneously casting a flirtatious glance at his beloved wife.
Lan Cai’er silently caught his flirtatious glance while thinking how sweet Yan Jiu’s sharp tongue sounded today.
People, once they fall in love, are blinded, and will even treat deadly poison as honeyed words to be eagerly swallowed.
Yan Jiu and Lan Cai’er are typical examples of such people.
