As Lu Nange listened to He Zhuo's words, a faint smile appeared on her face beneath her mask.
She only revealed her eyes, but it was precisely these seemingly harmless eyes that spoke words that added a touch of nonchalant cruelty.
"Since they're so ugly they're an eyesore..." She paused, her gaze lazily sweeping over Huang Pan and his group, "Then let's kill them all?"
A seemingly casual remark, yet it felt like a red-hot branding iron, searing the nerves of everyone at the Rock Base.
The crowd, which had been groaning or whispering, fell silent instantly.
All eyes, filled with fear, disbelief, and horrification, were fixed on Lu Nange.
Huang Pan leaned half of his body against the man with sparse eyebrows next to him.
He was still rapidly calculating in his mind whether to continue inciting the growing crowd of onlookers to gain some sympathy, or to simply give in and beg for mercy to save his life first.
After all, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.
When Lu Nange said those words, it was like a bucket of ice water being poured over his head, making him shiver.
He suddenly raised his head, his cloudy eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, his anger and humiliation almost bursting forth.
But when his gaze met Lu Nange's calm, unwavering eyes, all the curses that were about to escape his lips were swallowed back, stuck in his throat, turning into a suppressed groan...
[This...this woman, she doesn't look very old, how come she's always talking about killing! Damn it, we're on someone else's turf, we can't beat them in a fight, and we can't run away!]
It's all the fault of those trashy Starburst gang! They should have just given us those women and the supplies!
He only dared to roar wildly in his heart, his facial muscles twitching, finally squeezing out an expression that was even uglier than crying.
The superhumans at Rock Base reacted even more violently...
Some of them were originally slumped on the ground, clutching their injured arms or legs and groaning, while others supported each other, barely able to stand, their eyes unfocused.
At that moment, with a "whoosh," everyone who could stand up sprang to their feet, while those who couldn't stand scrambled to adjust their posture.
Immediately afterwards, "plop," "plop—," a row of people knelt down in the blink of an eye.
Huang Pan murmured to the person supporting him, "Old Niu, are the knees of us from Panshi really this weak?"
Old Niu: "Brother Pan, you taught me that a wise person knows when to yield!"
"We were wrong! We really know we were wrong! Please let us go! We really didn't mean to cause trouble!" one of the superhumans cried out, his forehead hitting the ground hard.
"Please! Grandma! Have mercy! We were just blinded by greed, we'll never do it again!" another burly man begged for mercy while frantically slapping himself in the face.
"What happened today was impulsive of us. We fought in front of Flameheart Gate and disrupted the order. We accept the punishment, we accept the punishment! We will leave immediately and promise never to set foot on Flameheart territory again!"
"Just ignore us and let us pass, okay?"
"Get out of here now!"
A group of people were in tears, behaving grotesquely... and even stealthily retreating.
Lu Xici: "Did we agree to let you leave?"
The kneeling crowd trembled collectively.
Old Niu: "We really know we were wrong! We acted impulsively today; we didn't intend to cause trouble!"
Lu Nange: "Today was just an impulsive act, but... what about last time?"
Old Ox: "Miss Deer, are you mistaken? Today... today is our first time!"
Lu Nange: "Oh? Is that so? But I see some of the clothes you're wearing look very familiar."
Old Niu: "Th-that might be Miss Lu...you must have mistaken me! Many bases have this style of clothing..."
Lu Nange chuckled lightly: "Really? In the beginning, those hordes of people who came to cause trouble at the entrance of Flameheart were from your Rock Base, weren't they?"
Upon hearing this, everyone at the Rock Base froze for a second, then shook their heads violently in unison.
