Chapter 49: I’ll Execute Anyone Who Dares Stand in My Way
All kinds of gazes fell on Fang Chen and the others as soon as they stepped into the barracks. These eyes were filled with astonishment, curiosity, and fear.
Niu Jue first led them to the front reception before ordering his subordinates to look through the case files to check if they had arrested Rectifier Yuan Zhuang in recent days.
War God Fang, well know soon whether Lord Yuan is in the barracks or not, Niu Jue spoke in a respectful tone.
Ill be counting on you, Chiliarch Niu. Fang Chen nodded with a smile.
Yuan Yus nervousness intensified, as she began to worry that Yuan Zhuang wasnt here. Her cousin would be doomed if even Fang Chen and Director Zhao couldnt find his whereabouts.
Soon, a centurion rushed in and clasped his fist. Chiliarch Niu, I have already looked through the cases. We havent arrested any rectifiers from the Court of Great Brilliance in recent days.
How is this Yuan Yu turned pale.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
This Niu Jue looked at Fang Chen with a bitter smile. War God Fang, could it be a misunderstanding? It doesnt seem that the rectifier is in our barracks.
Bring us to your private prison, Fang Chen said.
Niu Jue was stunned. Outsiders like Fang Chen werent allowed to enter their private prison. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and said, Pardon me, War God Fang, but I can only bring you and Director Zhao into our private prison at most.
I understand. Fang Chen nodded.
Niu Jue led Fang Chen and Director Zhao toward the private prison, but just as they reached the entrance, there was suddenly a bellow.
Chiliarch Niu, what are you doing?
A young man walked over under the accompaniment of the Valiant Defenders. All of these Valiant Defenders were centurions and chiliarchs. Two of the centurions saw Fang Chen, and their faces warped in shock.
Enforcement Envoy Liu, allow me to introduce you to War God Fang. War God Fang, this is our barracks Enforcement Envoy Liu, Niu Jue quickly introduced both sides to each other.
Enforcement Envoy Liu nonchalantly eyed Fang Chen. So its War God Fang. May I know what brought you here today?
Im here to look for someone, Fang Chen replied.
In our barracks? You must be pulling my leg. Enforcement Envoy Liu turned to Niu Jue and berated him, Shouldnt a chiliarch like you know the rules? How can you bring an outsider to our private prison? Youll be stripped of your uniform if our commander learns about it!
None of the Valiant Defenders in the vicinity dared to stop him. They had already recognized him to be one of the top ten pinnacle Ki Explosion martial artists in the capital, Windcloud Sword Xu Ge!
In the entire Valiant Defenders, there were no more than one or two people who could match him, and none of them were present here, for their official positions were even higher than that of Enforcement Envoy Liu!
Stop him! Enforcement Envoy Liu roared.
His close aides exchanged looks, only to timidly lower their heads right after. They dared not to kick up a fuss before someone of Fang Chens stature. Well die in vain if we stand up to Xu Ge here. Nothing will happen to Fang Chen, and Fang Chen will protect Xu Ge.
You all! Enforcement Envoy Liu was so angry that he nearly coughed blood.
He had spent so many years raising these subordinates, only for these cowards to lie flat when he needed them to make a move!
The Valiant Defenders stood awkwardly still as Xu Ge passed by them.
MInutes later, Xu Ge supported a limping Yuan Zhuang out of the private prison.
Yuan Yu burst into tears upon seeing his state.
Yuan Zhuangs condition was so bad that there wasnt any unharmed patch of skin on him, except for his face. Even his fingers were bleeding profusely from having his fingernails plucked off.
Youre too much!
The Court of Great Brilliances rectifiers glared at the Valiant Defenders. Yuan Zhuangs subordinate constables were so angry that their eyes could spit fire.
The majority of the Valiant Defenders were dazed. They were unaware of this matter.
Only Enforcement Envoy Liu and his close aides were aware of this matter, but they maintained nonchalant faces and didnt say a word.
Niu Jues face quickly darkened as well.
Enforcement Envoy Liu, I demand an explanation for this matter, Director Zhao, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up.
An explanation? When has our Valiant Defenders ever needed to explain ourselves to others? This man is a criminal we have arrested. If you try to take him away without permission, thatd be the same as raiding our prison. Its an offense punishable by decapitation.
Enforcement Envoy Liu turned to Fang Chen with cold eyes. War God Fang, I hope you arent planning to break the law.
