"You are framing and scapegoating . I won’t give you even one silver tael."
Qi Shu was furious.
Dugu Wu looked at Qi Shu coldly.
"If you don’t have silver, then you’ll repay with your life."
Where his gaze landed, Qi Shu felt his knees inexplicably weaken, and with a thud, he knelt down, his knees in piercing pain.
Qi Shu howled miserably, but at this mont, he couldn’t even stand up.
"Prince Wu, please show rcy. Indeed, Qi Shu is at fault this ti, I, Shannan, am willing to repay this sum of silver on his behalf."
General Lan hurried forward.
She didn’t like Qi Shu either, finding him too sharp and exposed. However, Qi Shu was a rare Beast Control Master whose presence was critical for Shannan in the upcoming Competition Among Ten Countries, he must be saved.
Having said this, General Lan took out a shield-shaped black Token.
Seeing the Token in General Lan’s hands, Dugu Wu’s indifferent face finally showed a flicker of change.
Those who knew the origin of the Token were whispering among themselves.
Feng Luochen gently nudged Dongfang Yong.
"What’s that thing?"
"Soldier King Token, only a master at the Soldier King Level of the rcenary Corps can possess it. One Soldier King Token can summon a super rcenary Corps, and a super rcenary Corps is on par with an army of a hundred thousand."
Dongfang Yong was older and more experienced, but it was his first ti hearing about the Soldier King Token.
"We rushed out and didn’t have access to so much Silver Tael at hand, so let this Soldier King Token be a pledge to Great Chu. After the Competition Among Ten Countries ends, Qi Shu’s brother will bring the Silver Tael to redeem the Soldier King Token."
General Lan hinted that Qi Shu was no ordinary person.
Qi Shu’s brother was the deputy leader of a super rcenary Corps.
rcenary Corps might not be as ordered in training as regular troops, but a super rcenary Corps can sotis even annihilate a dium-sized country. Great Chu, despite being a major country, must be cautious if it offends a super rcenary Corps.
A look of joy appeared on Qi Shu’s face. Yes, his brother would surely avenge him.
"Don’t you few get smug. After the Competition Among Ten Countries...no, during the Competition Among Ten Countries, I will have your blood repay this debt."
Qi Shu was there, yelling.
"Super rcenary Corps..."
Dugu Wu took the Soldier King Token, his slender fingers weighing it.
A cold glint passed through his heterochromatic pupils, and suddenly, his fingers grasped the Token.
With a whoosh, the Token turned into a blur.
Sss—
In the next mont, the Token disappeared from his hand, and by the ti everyone regained their senses, the Token was inserted at Qi Shu’s throat.
Qi Shu’s expression froze, and both General Lan and Master Song were stunned.
"You!"
General Lan was furious, not expecting Dugu Wu to overlook the Token’s significance.
Master Song shook his head and quickly led General Lan away from the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.
As soon as they left, Feng Bailing eagerly approached and retrieved the Soldier King Token, wiping the blood off of it before obsequiously offering it to Dugu Wu.
Dugu Wu gave her a glance but did not accept the Soldier King Token.
Feng Bailing took the opportunity to grab Dugu Wu’s hand to support him.
Feng Luochen imdiately jumped forward to assist Dugu Wu.
"He’s a married man, my sister’s husband, Feng San, don’t even think about taking advantage of him."
Although he didn’t want to admit that Dugu Wu was his brother-in-law, he couldn’t let other won touch Dugu Wu.
"How did you calculate the losses of each village?"
Before leaving, Dugu Wu suddenly asked.
"Just made it up."
Feng Bailing confessed honestly, she didn’t have enough ti to calculate the losses and Shannan would not be able to verify it either.
They had to accept her claim of one million taels or even two million taels.
"You keep the Soldier King Token, Great Chu is still in need of a super rcenary Corps."
Dugu Wu left the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce without looking back.
Dongfang Yong couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Another person fooled by Feng San; even Dugu Wu was blinded. Which of his eyes saw that the Phoenix rcenary Corps had that potential?
"We’ve really hit the jackpot this ti, this is indeed a real Soldier King Token. You probably don’t know the power of the Soldier King Token, with it, we can enjoy many privileges, such as access to the Underworld Market auctions, summon a super rcenary Corps for help, and also take on higher-level tasks."
Ouyang Chenchen was thrilled, not minding the soiled Soldier King Token, and kept flipping it over as if it were a precious treasure.
"This thing could be a big trouble."
Feng Bailing was distressed, the man was killed by Dugu Wu, but it happened inside the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, and the people from Shannan certainly would not let this go easily.
The Phoenix rcenary Corps had only been established for a short while and had already encountered such big trouble.
In an inn in Chu City, General Lan was fuming with rage.
"Master Song, why did you stop ? Dugu Wu killed Qi Shu, and we lost the Soldier King Token, how are we going to explain this to Qi Xuanyuan?"
Qi Shu was Qi Xuanyuan’s beloved little brother. He joined the Shannan delegation just for the experience.
The experience hadn’t even started, and he was killed already.
Qi Xuanyuan’s "Sky Falcon" rcenary Corps would definitely not let them go.
"Dugu Wu is very powerful. Although his leg is crippled, we...can’t deal with him."
Master Song shook his head.
He had already tested it, and Dugu Wu’s Wen Energy was definitely above his.
"However, we don’t need to be disheartened; this Competition Among Ten Countries might seem like just a match, but in reality, alliances have already ford among the nations. So people want to take this opportunity during the competition to eliminate Dugu Wu."
Master Song said with a cold laugh.
