Chapter 130: Dispute
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Fang Xingjian gradually walked up to him and asked, “Where’s your boss? Why did he not come? Where is he?”
It turned out that the boss of the Venomous Serpent Gang was very cautious. He did not turn up despite knowing that someone was here to wreck trouble, only sending his subordinates over instead.
The leader who was being stared at began to shiver, unable to say a single word. Fang Xingjian furrowed his brows and was about to ask again when loud footsteps sounds came from outside again.
“Everyone stop!
“Are you guys thinking of rebelling?”
Tens of guards from the City Guards Institution charged in. When they saw the people on the ground, groaning out, they were all stunned. The head of the guards frowned and shouted at Fang Xingjian, “Who are you? What has happened here?”
That leader of the gangsters seemed to have found himself a life buoy, and he grabbed onto the thigh of one of the guards and shouted, “Help! Save me! This person wants to kill us! Save me!”
Looking at this scene, the captain of the city guards frowned and looked at Fang Xingjian, not able to identity Fang Xingjian’s identity outright. Although that chap from the Venomous Serpent Gang had deliberately chosen not to reveal that Fang Xingjian had performed the Reduced Force Field, after seeing so many people lying on the ground, how could he fail to understand that Fang Xingjian was not an easy character?
Therefore, he forced out a smile and said, “May I ask who you are? Could we take a step outside and have a talk?”
But Fang Xingjian did not give him any face. Throwing him a sideward glance, he said, “You’re in charge of this area with the Venomous Serpent Gang’s territory right? You’ve really ‘put in great efforts to govern the place’, allowing this area to be turned into a place with such foul atmosphere.”
How could that captain not tell the sarcasm in Fang Xingjian’s words? But the more the other party acted like this, the more he did not dare to look down on him. He bent forward slightly, saying with a face full of smiles, “You must be jesting. I wonder how the Venomous Serpent Gang has offended you?” With that, he pushed a bag of money to Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian let out a cold snort and slapped away the hand which was secretly passing him the bag, and then said coldly, “Tell the head of the Venomous Serpent Gang Jerry to come receive his punishments within two hours time. If not, it would not end so simply if I were to take action myself.
“You’re under Hogan, right? To think that you’ve allowed something like the Venomous Serpent Gang to form under your jurisdiction. After I’ve dealt with Jerry, I’ll come for you next.”
The captain’s countenance turned grim. He had already showed Fang Xingjian a lot of courtesy, but the other party had paid them no regards. He had even especially mentioned Hogan’s name, though he did not seem to show Hogan any respect either. This made the captain even more unsure where this person was from, and he could only gradually retreat.
That captain then carried on and asked, “At least you must let us know your name? It’ll let our brothers know better on what to do next.”
But Fang Xingjian had already closed his eyes, ignoring the captain’s question.
That captain could only walked out of the hall with a pale countenance, furrowing his brows as he thought about who this person was.
But a soldier with a large build who stood at the very back walked up to him quietly. It was the previous Eldest Martial Brother Ogden from The School of Sword Arts.
He looked at the captain and said, “Captain, that person in the gambling den, seems… seems to be Fang Xingjian.”
“What?” The captain anxiously asked, “Are you sure?”
Ogden said, “A few of our brothers had went to observe the academy’s competition. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”
The captain asked around, and truly, quite a number of them all felt that the guy in the gambling den was Fang Xingjian.
The captain smiled bitterly, “To think that it’s such an important character, a sixteen year old Windstorm Sword Hero. This thing is beyond us.” He spoke to one of his subordinate at the side and said, “Go pass the message to Jerry. Let him bring out whatever backer he has, if not the matter may get worse.”
