Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
His gaze shifted back and forth between Lan Dahai and the resource balls a few tis. Wang Xiao struggled for a long ti before finally choosing to give up.
Based on Lan Dahai’s identity and what he had done, Wang Xiao had ten thousand reasons to kill him, but not for money.
This was Wang Xiao’s bottom line. If he loses this, what was the difference between him and those foreign races that invaded others?
After putting the scattered copper ores back into his territory, Wang Xiao took another copper ore and sat beside Lan Dahai. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly.
Although Wang Xiao had given up on the idea of “killing and robbing” him, he would definitely not show rcy if Lan Dahai woke up before the military arrived and still wanted to struggle.
Whether he was deceiving himself or trying to cover it up, this was Wang Xiao’s final compromise with his principles due to his greed.
However, he did not know if he should say that he was lucky or not. In the end, Wang Xiao did not get the chance to let his greed win.
In less than half a minute, noisy footsteps ca from outside the warehouse.
Then, he heard Zhou Xiruo’s anxious voice. “Wang Xiao! Where are you!”
“I’m here!”
Wang Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs. Then, he heard a loud bang. The door of the warehouse was forcefully knocked open from the outside! “Put down your weapons! Surrender now! ”
The mont the door opened, a large group of military soldiers shouted and rushed in. However, when they saw the situation in the warehouse, they were all stunned.
“Hello!”
Wang Xiao smiled and waved at the soldiers. Then, he saw Qi Lianjun and Zhou
Xiruo outside the door. “You guys are so slow!”
No one responded. After a short silence, two soldiers suddenly rushed over, their black muzzles almost touching Wang Xiao’s head. “Put down your weapon! Surrender imdiately!”
Wang Xiao was instantly stunned. He saw the vigilance on the faces of the soldiers, especially Zhou Xiruo and Qi Lianjun. Only then did he rember that he was still wearing the [Nirvana Mask]!
“Don’t be rash! It’s ! Wang Xiao!”
As Wang Xiao spoke, with a thought, the disguise effect of the [Nirvana Mask] was instantly removed.
The two soldiers nearby were shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger. Fortunately, they recognized Wang Xiao and stopped at the last mont.
“Adjutant Qi! It’s Wang Xiao!”
One of the soldiers turned around and shouted, only to find that Zhou Xiruo and Qi Lianjun had already run over.
“Wang Xiao! How are you?”
Before Qi Lianjun could steady himself, he hurriedly asked. Wang Xiao smiled, but before he could say anything, he received a solid punch on his shoulder!
“Wang Xiao! You’re a big liar!”
Zhou Xiruo’s eyes were filled with tears as she scolded. As she spoke, she punched Wang Xiao again. “Didn’t you say that you would leave a mark for ?! Where’s the mark?!”
“I wanted to leave a mark, but I was discovered by him…”
Wang Xiao rubbed his shoulder and replied aggrievedly. Only then did Zhou Xiruo realize that there was another person lying beside him. His head was covered in blood and she did not know if he was dead or alive.
“This is Lan Dahai?”
Zhou Xiruo’s face turned pale, and she subconsciously hid behind Wang Xiao. “He, he can’t be dead, right?”
“He’s still breathing. I knew what I was doing.”
Wang Xiao pretended to be deep in thought and waved his hand. Then, he looked up at Qi Lianjun. “Adjutant Qi, there are two boxes over there. They should be the things that Lan Dahai wanted to take away when he escaped.”
“Lan Dahai’s?”
Qi Lianjun’s eyes lit up. He turned around and ran to the two tal boxes. After opening them, he took out a scroll.
“I’ve already checked. Those scrolls should be filled with numbers, but I don’t know what they an.”
Wang Xiao explained briefly. Qi Lianjun had already opened the scroll. However, judging from the puzzled look in his eyes, he probably did not understand the aning of those numbers
As Qi Lianjun spoke, he opened the other tal box. When he saw half of the purple resource balls, he was stunned. He casually picked one up and checked it. His expression suddenly beca strange.
After a mont of silence, Qi Lianjun looked at Wang Xiao aningfully. “Is that all?”
“What?”
Wang Xiao was stunned for a mont before he reacted. His expression darkened as he asked with a frown, “What do you an? Are you suspecting that I stole sothing?”
Qi Lianjun shook his head and put the resource ball back into the box. “I just thought that this box wasn’t filled, so I was just asking.”
Seeing Qi Lianjun’s indifferent expression, Wang Xiao instantly felt even angrier. “Just asking? Am I such a person in your eyes? That box is a lord item. If I really wanted to take it, would I have left it here for you to see?”
“We would’ve gotten information out of him.”
Qi Lianjun pointed at Lan Dahai on the ground. “If he ntions these resource balls, we would have searched you too.”
“Then wouldn’t I have killed him to silence him? Smash him to death before you arrive and say that he was killed by accident in battle. At that ti, what can you even investigate!”
Wang Xiao widened his eyes and said angrily. He directly revealed his plan to kill and rob because he was really angry this ti.
God knew how much effort he had put in to uphold his principles. In the end, Qi Lianjun suspected that he had stolen it because the box wasn’t full. If he had known this would happen, he would have smashed Lan Dahai to death with an ore just now!
However, compared to the furious Wang Xiao, Qi Lianjun’s reaction was much calr.
Hearing Wang Xiao’s plan, Qi Lianjun only nodded. “You could’ve indeed secretly taken the resource balls away, but you didn’t do so. I believe that you didn’t steal anything. I was rude just now. I’m sorry.”
After he finished speaking, Qi Lianjun suddenly bowed deeply to Wang Xiao. This sudden apology made Wang Xiao speechless.
Wang Xiao did not know whether to be angry or not. After a mont of silence with a strange expression, he finally said helplessly, “If it weren’t for the fact that I don’t have the strength now, I would jump up and kick you!”
“Then we’ll talk about it when you have the strength.”
Qi Lianjun replied indifferently. Then, he ordered soone to bring Lan Dahai and the two tal boxes away.
After everything was set up, Qi Lianjun forced a stiff smile at Wang Xiao. “Thank you for this matter. Go back and rest first. Rember to co to the military building tonight.”
“You want to cooperate with the investigation?”
Wang Xiao frowned and said angrily, “You insulted my character just now. I don’t want to see you for the next few days. Anyway, the process is quite simple. I’ll tell you directly here!”
“To cooperate with the investigation, we need a professional to record it. It’s against the rules here.”
Qi Lianjun waved his hand and refused. Then, he pointed at the tal box that had just been carried away. “When we get back, I’ll get soone to check those resource balls as soon as possible. If there’s nothing wrong, you can take them away when you co over tonight.”
“Don’t give that! You think you can just—”
Wang Xiao, who was still angry, subconsciously waved his hand. Halfway through, he suddenly realized sothing. “You just said… you want to give those resource balls?”
“I’m returning them to you.”
Qi Lianiun blinked with a half-smile.. “Those were originallv vours, weren’t
they?”
