Chapter 234: Mercenary Union (1/2)
The people in the grand meeting hall were all in an uproar after hearing what Teng Xiaolian had just spoken. When the people had been informed that an important meeting was organized they had not expected for it to be this serious.
Most of the mercenary companies had sent their members out to the mission that was assigned by the mayor of the Wu Lim city, thus they were quite enraged, to say the least.
”This cannot go unanswered, the mayor must give us an explanation!” One of the hundreds of mercenaries yelled.
”Yes, yes! This has never happened before.”
”Mayor Wu Xun's audacity is too much. How dare he blame the mercenaries without proof?”
”Who knows, he may even have a part in this. Perhaps he does not want to keep up his side of the bargain.” Someone else said.
The higher ups of the mercenary company that were sitting at the front of the room seemed quite agitated by hits too. But they knew that they could not express their displeasure directly like this. It would only be detrimental to them in the long run.
”SILENCE!!” The old man who was sitting at the head of the room shouted as he slammed his fist onto the table.
His voice was thunderous and spread around in the room, making the furniture shake. One could feel the power in the voice and could tell that it was amplified by qi. But to make things shake by mere voice meant only one thing. The old man in question was a Nascent soul realm cultivator.
All the mercenaries that were shouting immediately fell silent after seeing the old man spoke. Evidently the old man had a very high positing and inspired fear in them. After silence descended in the room, the old man gazed at everyone with a hawk like gaze.
The weaker mercenaries could feel chills going down their spine just from the gaze and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
Only when the old man stopped looking did they relax, but even in this time, their backs had been covered with cold sweat.
The old man then looked at Teng Xiaolian before speaking.
”Teng Xiaolian, do you swear on your life and your honor as a mercenary that all you've said is true?” The old man questioned.
”I swear on my life, my honor and the souls of my fellow mercenaries that all I've said is the entire truth that I've experienced.” Teng Xiaolian declared as he slammed his fist upon his chest.
~Sigh~
A sigh escaped the old man's lips as he too went silent for a bit. After thinking for a minute, he looked at the mercenaries gathered and the higher ups of all the mercenary companies that were sitting at the front.
