Congratulations to the six people, including Fu, Lu, Shou, and Cai, whose hearts were pounding and whose expressions changed when they saw Li Xin.
This old man... is terrifying!
In an instant, the soldiers were rendered powerless to resist.
It seems they really managed to latch onto a powerful figure...
...
The news spread quickly.
Everyone in the market saw it: a merchant from Leopard Court, guarded by psychic beings, annihilated all the soldiers sent by Wu Hao.
The cause was a dispute over those few slaves.
At this very moment, Wu Hao was sitting in his manor.
He's having a banquet tonight, so he bought a batch of new slaves and invited his friends. They'll kill them together for fun tonight.
Suddenly, news came from the market.
A servant ran up and reported, "Master, something terrible has happened! All the men you sent to the market have been killed!"
Wu Hao jumped up, his eyes blazing with anger: "What's going on!"
The servant recounted the whole story, though he hesitated twice before being kicked to the ground by Wu Hao.
He was furious.
But upon hearing that he was a psionicist, they immediately became cautious.
The old steward beside him said, "Master, they are from Leopard Court after all, and they are not to be trifled with."
"Hmph, so what if it's Leopard Court? This isn't Leopard Court!" Wu Hao sneered, not taking it seriously.
"But they are still psionicists... This suggests they have quite a background," the old butler reminded him again.
Wu Hao nodded: "Nonsense, do you think I don't know that?"
He would have dared to deal with any ordinary merchant, even if they were from Leopard Court, since they were the ones who struck first.
But psionicists are different.
This shows that they are capable.
"It's strange. If they're businessmen, why are there only three of them?" Wu Hao pondered.
The old butler couldn't give a clear answer either.
"How about this, sir, invite them over for dinner tonight, ask them what happened, and we won't pursue the matter of the slaves any further," the old steward said.
Wu Hao waved his hand: "They're just a few runaway slaves, which I wouldn't care about in the first place, but they killed my soldiers. Where does that leave my dignity?!"
The old butler pleaded, "Master, it's best to be cautious."
Wu Hao nodded: "I know where they are now."
The servant said, "They're probably still in the market."
"Go again and tell him I've invited him to dinner at the manor."
The servant, however, was trembling.
"What's wrong with you now?" Wu Hao asked impatiently.
"Master... there's something else. Those people said they won't attend the barbarian's banquet."
Qin Che did indeed say this, and everyone present heard it.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao flew into a rage!
"A barbarian? He called me a barbarian?!"
Wu Hao kicked the servant to the ground again, his face turning red with anger.
The old butler rushed over to comfort him, and asked angrily, "Master, what do we do now?"
The civilized people of Beiyuan were all originally barbarians who completed the primitive accumulation of capital and became large landowners.
They suddenly became civilized and therefore resented being called barbaric.
Wu Hao really dislikes this kind of person.
Moreover, the membership structure of their hot spring club is essentially that of a group of extremists, and calling them barbarians is the most intolerable thing.
Enraged, Wu Hao was completely enraged by those three words: "Gather your troops and wipe out these three men! I want them alive or dead!"
...
Wu Hao was furious.
The army assembled and stood inside and outside the manor, numbering over a thousand, fully armed.
The standard equipment for soldiers in Kitahara includes a shield, rifle, helmet, and throwing grenades.
The more advanced ones have high-tech weapons, which they purchased quite a few from Polaris City and Leopard Court, such as rapid-fire weapons and Golden Eagles.
You can't buy an incendiary gun.
Hydrogen batteries, plasma guns, and laser cannons were things I'd never even heard of.
Leopard Court is still very strong.
But in Kitahara, the Onsen-sha is the commander-in-chief.
They were born into humble circumstances, their savagery had not yet been eradicated, and they were willing to fight, struggle, and risk their lives.
Moreover, the troops that have gathered at the manor today are Wu Hao's elite forces.
He was very strict in disciplining his troops, and his orders were strictly enforced. In addition, he had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, with a full stock of cannons and ammunition. He usually only had minor conflicts with other bigwigs in the hot spring resort and had never fought a major battle.
Don't say the other party is a psychic.
Even a psychic master could withstand it.
What's more, there were only three of them.
With such an overwhelming advantage, how could they possibly lose?
The army received orders and immediately departed from the manor. Wu Hao sent men to Zeolite City, and in the name of the hot spring association, ordered the city to be sealed off.
The hot spring company wields immense power in Zeolite City.
This is one of their important cities.
Wu Hao is an important member of the board, and he can order a city lockdown.
As soon as the city was sealed off, Qin Che and the others immediately realized that it was 'Master Wu' who did it.
“He killed so many people, of course the city should be sealed off,” Li Xin said matter-of-factly.
Qin Che laughed and said, "You killed him, it has nothing to do with me."
Li Xin rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes, I'll handle it."
Little Stone asked worriedly, "Won't there be a lot of them?"
"No matter how many come, they're all ants; one plus one will never equal ten," Qin Che said, shaking his head.
He couldn't easily expose himself in crowded places.
If the people of Kitahara knew that a Master had come from the Leopard Court, they would know without even thinking who it was.
There is only one Master in the Leopard Court.
It had already spread throughout the Northern Plains and the South China Sea.
It's Qin Che.
Therefore, he himself naturally needs to keep a low profile.
Li Xin only ever appeared in the army, and not many people knew his characteristics, so the news did not reach Beiyuan.
It's most appropriate for him to take action.
Hu Ting said anxiously, "Master... let's go and admit our guilt."
Qin Che asked with a smile, "Why?"
"This whole thing was caused by us, and Master Wu won't let us off the hook..." Hu Ting said tremblingly, as did the brothers Gong Xi, Fu Lu Shou Cai, and others beside her, their faces ashen.
Little Stone said, "This is none of your business."
"What do you slaves know about the conflicts between the masters?" Li Xin said dismissively.
Wu Hao wanted to seal off the city not because of these few slaves, but because Qin Che and Li Xin had killed their soldiers one after another.
If your subordinates are being killed by others at the drop of a hat,
Are you angry?
If we don't address it, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Let's deal with it, but I'm really stubborn about what I have.
Since he was a psionicist, Wu Hao had no choice but to mobilize the entire army.
