Strongest Soldier King Chapter 367 367: Discussing Countermeasures

About thirty people were soon tied up securely by the locals, whose ancestors had been hunters with incredibly skillful binding techniques. They used the thod for tying up wild boars, creating knots that tightened with each struggle, making it impossible for any captive to escape. Mountain Eagle, arriving in a rush and seeing that the fight was over, disinterestedly stood aside to enjoy the show, with an attitude that longed for a bit of chaos and without the slightest worry of trouble.

Little sister looked at her brother with a face full of joy, her gaze sweeping over Snow Leopard and Ghost Hand, her eyes sparkling with stars. To think that thirty-so-odd bastards were easily taken down by three people, how impressive. She unwittingly walked up to Lan Xue and whispered, "Sister-in-law, they're so amazing."

"Your brother is the most amazing, he was holding back just now," Lan Xue said with a light laugh.

"Really? My brother is really the best? That's great, let's see who dares to bully in the future," Little sister said with glee, her face flushed with excitent.

"Don't worry, no one will be able to bully you from now on," Lan Xue reassured, growing fond of this sprightly young girl who reminded her of her own little sister, also an elfin creature but with a completely different personality. She couldn't help but wonder what interesting events might unfold if these two were to et.

At this mont, the bald thug had already taken out his cellphone and dialed a number. Luo Zheng watched coldly from the side and, as soon as the call was connected, snatched the phone and said coldly, "Listen, I don't care who you are, but you have one hour to get here. Otherwise, there will be thirty-two corpses here, and you'll be the thirty-third." With those words, he hung up, his face steely.

"Little Houtou, considering we're from the sa clan, I advise you not to take this too far. I won't hide it from you; that man is the biggest black power in the county, a junior relative of a governnt leader with money, influence, and authority. You can't beat him, so you better leave while you can," the bald thug said coldly.

"Oh, so there is still so conscience left, huh?" Luo Zheng mocked, "Alright, disperse. Leave them here; don't worry, I've got this covered."

Everyone was a bold and hot-blooded man in their youth, willing to fight tigers and wolves. Even though they were older now, that fiery spirit remained. The last ti the bald thug ca with a dozen n to cause trouble, they were defeated by these old n and won. Everyone agreed with a roar and dispersed, not straying far, their eyes full of approving smiles toward Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng approached his father and whispered, "Dad, let's go back and have dinner first."

"Sure, dinner," Luo Hu agreed, and everyone headed ho where the al was almost ready. They set the table and brought out the homade liquor, then feasted heartily, not dwelling on the previous events. Luo Hu, with a military background, knew a thing or two about the army. Seeing everyone so confident, he vaguely guessed they were no ordinary people but chose not to ask directly, preferring instead to share stories of his own glory days in the army with everyone.

Two generations of soldiers drew the topic of conversation closer, and everyone chatted happily. After a hearty al, Little sister helped her mother clean up. Luo Zheng, at a cue from Luo Hu, stepped outside. Ghost Hand and the others ca to the door, and just then, Lan Xue, who was pulling them aside and subtly shaking her head, gave them a hint. Ghost Hand whispered, "Should we utilize so connections?"

"Might as well," Lan Xue replied, looking at Luo Zheng talking low to his son and agreed.

"Let do it. My uncle is in charge of discipline at the provincial Public Security Departnt here; managing county-level issues is a piece of cake—county officials are no match for his authority," Snow Leopard declared, taking out his phone and stepping aside to make the call.

"I'll call the base too; military and civilian conflicts aren't good, and it's better if the squadron leader knows about the situation," Lan Xue said and also stepped aside to make her call.

Luo Zheng was unaware of his brothers' actions; he was earnestly persuading his father not to let things go, as the older generation disliked trouble and preferred to keep the peace. But Luo Zheng couldn't swallow his pride. His father had been injured, and he needed to seek justice—how else could he stand tall between heaven and earth?

"Let it be, you're grown up now, and you'll need to support this family. It's up to you," Luo Hu, recognizing his son's character of not looking for trouble but not fearing it when it ca and sticking it out, no longer insisted. He glanced at Snow Leopard and Lan Xue who were making calls not far away, and after a mont of contemplation, went back inside without further questions.

Ghost Hand approached Luo Zheng and said in a low voice, "Brother, I don't an to criticize, but for things like this, you should let us step in. You know my family background, and the others aren't any worse. But never mind that; we are brothers in life and death. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. Your parents might not be suited to live here anymore, and Little sister is at the right age for schooling... I have an idea."

"Stop right there," Luo Zheng interrupted, fully aware of Ghost Hand's intention to help. With Ghost Hand's family power and wealth, it would be easy to assist him, but there are boundaries—Luo Zheng, after considering, didn't want to harshly refuse and hurt their camaraderie, so he tactfully said, "I understand what you're saying. Let think about it for a couple of days; we're still staying here for a while. We'll talk about it later."

"Alright, as you wish," Ghost Hand didn't press the matter. Each person has their pride and dignity, and not everyone is willing to accept help with their own issues. As brothers, expressing willingness to help was enough; saying too much might backfire.

At that mont, Lan Xue and Snow Leopard made their calls and exchanged a glance. Lan Xue spoke softly, "I didn't ask for your opinion before taking charge and having everyone use their connections to handle this. Don't take it the wrong way."

Luo Zheng gave a wry smile and, after thinking for a mont, said, "Well, thank you. You all know the situation well enough. I have firm demands—cancel the developnt project, compensate for damages. I've looked into it, and apart from my father, several others in the village have been injured to varying degrees. Including dical fees and compensation, each person must get no less than two million, totaling ten million."

"That's also good. They're getting on in years and could use so money for their old age. It's also a good opportunity to give a hard knock to the people behind the scenes," Lan Xue nodded, agreeing. After taking a look and seeing no objections from the group, she continued, "Don't worry, with the connections backing us, dealing with a local leader is no problem. And with our National Blade status, we'll definitely win this lawsuit even if he had the highest connections."

"Oh? That's reassuring," Luo Zheng replied, now completely at ease.

"Little brother, it seems you still don't know about our special privileges. We have the right to 'execute first, report later.' For a justifiable case like this, it wouldn't be an issue even if a few people got killed," Ghost Hand said nonchalantly.

Luo Zheng really didn't know about this privilege, and his spirits lifted upon hearing it. With newfound confidence and reassurance from his brothers, he began to plan for the confrontation ahead. Seeing Luo Zheng's expression, everyone knew soone was in for trouble and couldn't help but laugh.
