Chapter 416: A Real Man Doesn't Act Low-Key
Translator: UdongEditor: EbonyFrost, Udong
”Your…your warrior power…”
”You mean why your low-temperature warrior power has no effects on me?” Qian Jin looked at his rival while smiling. ”It might work for me should its temperature cool down one hundred times.”
Cold type warrior power? Qian Jin felt like burst out in laughter. How could this temperature be compared with that in Four Season Valley? Let alone to rival the Ice-fire Potion made by Mrs. Eulalia.
”General Qiling, he is the very murderer of Captain John…”
”Yes, he is! General Qiling, please get revenge for Captain John…”
”Young man, tell me your name. Do you know what crime you have committed assaulting the city guarding soldiers?” Qiling stood straight, looking just as tall, strong and heartless as the Yeti monster residing in the snowy mountain.
”Qian Jin, a warrior from the Torrent Battle Fort, is now studying in Punitive Expedition Academy.” Qian Jin pierced the spear into the ground and said silently. ”I didn't aim to kill anybody and he wasn't murdered by me. Just now Captain John wanted to inspect me. Not knowing what had happened, I obeyed the law to have him check on me. When my partner told him about her identity and showed her identification card, this Captain started molesting my partner, so I tried to stop him. He took out his spear to chop my arms. When I was about to let him go, he ordered two crossbowmen to shoot me, thus I had to cast him off for self-defense.”
”Who? Where are the demons?” Marc Gavin's roar rang not far from on the street. ”Get out of my way! I will chop down those demon scouts!”
Hearing the growl of Marc Gavin, Qiling changed his face. What a quick rain this president of the Torrent Battle Front was. Well, things had become troublesome now. If this barbarian knew that this bloke was called Qian Jin…wait. Qian Jin?
Suddenly Qiling shrunk his muscles and tapped hard on his head. ”Is he the so-called Qian Jin as referred by the mayor? Last night the mayor made a special conversation with me, telling me that as long as this boy didn't take any intentions of treason, I should turn a blind eye to everything he might do.” Qiling thought to himself.
I got it. It was said that Qian Jin punched the Concubine's henchman regardless of their backgrounds and it seemed that this retinue of the Concubine was trying to threaten Qian Jin with his backing.
”Dumbass.” Qiling spit on John's face. Why must you irritate Qian Jin? He was the one dauntless enough to counterattack the Concubine with justified reasons. How could you rival him when you were don't even have justice on your side?
”I am the Number Three General of the City Guard, Qiling. I don't think you've told any lies regarding the situation.” Qiling looked around at the surrounding common folks. ”I don't think you would do such a stupid thing as to lie in the face of so many. So in this way, John's death shall have nothing to do with you.”
The one dozen soldiers standing around looked at Qiling blankly, wondering whether there was something wrong with their ears. This Bloodline Warrior General used to have a cranky temper. Why did he treat Qian Jin so nice today?
Looking at the soldiers standing by him, Qiling couldn't help cursing them as dumbasses. The stupid John did that to please the Concubine, and you?
”However, you have after all killed the captain of the city guarding soldiers on the street.” Qiling took a deep breath. ”When available, please drop in at our city guard camp for a detailed record so that we could submit our report to the superior. The death of a military officer is by no means a trivial thing. So I hope you can show some considerations for us.”
Qian Jin looked at Qiling in astonishment. Why did this ferocious-looking general who intended to kill him change his attitude to become so amiable? Well, it all happened after hearing that he was Qian Jin.
”Sure. Please rest reassured General Qiling. I'll go to your camp to make everything straight after school today.” Qian Jin nodded his head softly.
”That will be good.” Qiling pondered a while and said, ”I hope the death of the Captain won't bother you too much. The soldiers of the City Guard don't stand on the opposite side of the common people, instead, it is our responsibility to safeguard the Yulee City. Last night, a heavy number of casualties befell the Ray Family, upon which we believed it to be done by the scouts of the Demon Empire. That's why we are conducting this close inspection right now.”
The Ray Family? A lot of people were killed? Qian Jin raised his chin slightly and nodded slowly with a little surprise. Uncle Marc Gavin was really a man of efficiency to have procured some assassins to attack the Ray Family overnight.
While to Qiling, Qian Jin's surprised look given rise by Marc Gavin's high efficiency constituted another interpretation. He used to think that Qian Jin came back to Yulee to attack the Ray Family for revenge. But now it seemed that he was wrong since the news of the Ray Family's injuries was shocking to him.
”Where are the demons? Where?”
Marc Gavin pushed aside the people standing in his way, strode into the circle and looked at Qian Jin. ”Aha? Why are you here boy? What? Was a warrior killed? Is this done by the demons?”
”It's a mistake. A mistake.” Seeing the two axes held in Marc Gavin's palms, Qiling put on a worried face and then explained in a docile way, ”President Gavin, it's just a mistake.”
Marc Gavin glanced around with his wide opened eyes, just to find that Qian Jin was targeted by millions of sabers and crossbows. Immediately he understood everything and conjectured that the death was nine out of ten times one of Qian Jin's ”masterpieces”.
”A mistake? What jokes are you telling?” Marc Gavin changed his face sharply, looking simmered with anger. Then he growled in a much more ferocious way than just now when hearing the coming of the demons. ”WTF! I was at the crucial point of ascending to the saint level. But on hearing that the demons had intervened, I was shocked into failure in reaching the saint level. I should have succeeded!”
All soldiers looked at Marc Gavin blankly, including Qiling, who was making an apology on the surface but cursing secretly. Reach the saint level? WTF are you talking about? Who do you think you are? Are you Fabreidis? Do you think of it as an easy task for ordinary warriors to reach the saint level? How could you brag like that, despite the fact you are a master of warrior soul?
”Why? You look doubtful about what I have said.” Marc Gavin patted Qiling on the shoulder. ”Go. Let's go to see the mayor York for justice.”
Qiling kept stepping back. What a joke it would be to see the mayor face to face. Last night he just warned us not to get on the wrong side of Qian Jin and you. Visit him now? Wouldn't the mayor be partial to you, by which time I would be ”rewarded” with a heavy punch? Am I insane?
”You won't go with me? Then you have admitted that I failed to reach the saint level all because of you. How will you compensate for my loss?” Marc Gavin walked toward Qian Jin poignantly. ”Boy, I feel very low today. Go for a walk with me on the outskirts of the city.”
Marc Gavin jumped onto Qian Jin's carriage, triggering a heavy groan on the axle. Under the bemused gaze of the crowd, the two slowly rode toward the outskirt of the city.
”You people. Remember.” Marc Gavin turned back, and growled at the blank-looking city guarding soldiers, ”See me at the Torrent Battle Fort once you decide on the compensation method.”
”Uncle…my blade…my blade…” Qian Jin pointed to the wasted chimney behind their back, ”my blade…”
