Chapter 59
"Oh, isn't that Mr. Qin's cargo?" Yi Saisi pretended to be surprised, then quickly clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly.
"What a terrible mistake, my men just arrived here and rashly charged at Mr. Qin's things, I'm so sorry about that, that's unforgivable."
It was clearly done on purpose, trying to intimidate Qin Hanyue and give him a show of force, telling Qin Hanyue and the entire M Continent that he was not to be trifled with.
This was Yi Saisi's usual tactic, he had never failed before.
Unfortunately, this time he had kicked an iron plate.
In Qin Hanyue's eyes, these tricks of his were not intimidating, but asking for death.
Qin Hanyue looked coldly at Yi Saisi: "Return to me everything you snatched away just as it was, if anything is missing, I'll make you regret coming to M Continent."
"Of course, Mr. Qin don't be angry, I'll personally bring the goods later and come to apologize to you Mr. Qin. I guarantee everything will be returned intact, please don't blame me Mr. Qin."
Realizing Qin Hanyue was not so easy to deal with, Yi Saisi immediately turned the dozen or so boxes of guns and ammunition into gifts of apology.
He tried to curry favor: "Consider these things as my gifts of apology to Mr. Qin. Another day I'll..."
But before he could finish speaking, the man across from him interrupted: "No need."
"Mr. Qin means...?" Yi Saisi's expression froze for a moment, his sole remaining eye fixed tightly on Qin Hanyue, flickering oddly between dark and bright, seemingly ready to lash out at any moment.
"I don't care for these things." Qin Hanyue said expressionlessly: "Also, M Continent does not welcome you. You have three days to pack up and leave."
Yi Saisi gritted his teeth, the muscles on his gaunt face visibly clenched.
Yi Saisi said fiercely: "It's Mr. Qin who doesn't welcome me, or is it M Continent who doesn't welcome me?"
A trace of disdainful smile lifted the corner of Qin Hanyue's lips: "Does it make a difference? On M Continent, what I say goes."
"Mr. Qin, one shouldn't be too arrogant. Gluttony can choke you to death." Yi Saisi's tone grew steadily colder. His lone eye was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, spitting poison, poised to strike.
Qin Hanyue: "Would you like to try the taste of being food?"
Yi Saisi clenched his teeth, the swelling muscles on his hollow cheeks clearly visible.
Yi Saisi said viciously: "Mr. Qin, coming to my turf with so few men, I thought this would be a pleasant negotiation. It seems I underestimated Mr. Qin's audacity. But overconfidence can come at a price!"
As soon as Yi Saisi finished speaking, his men tightened their grips on their guns, ready to lift and fire at any moment, which would end Qin Hanyue's group in an instant.
Almost the moment Yi Saisi's men moved, Qin Yan and the others unhesitatingly used their own bodies to surround and shield Qin Hanyue and Qiao Ying.
The two groups of people were instantly at daggers drawn.
Qin Hanyue moved his sore neck slightly, flicked his tongue over his gums, a flash of fierceness on his face unlike his usual gentlemanly warmth.
Qiao Ying's brow quirked up slightly: "Thank you."
That single thanks left Yi Saisi confused, making him wonder if his Mandarin was too terrible or he misspoke.
Qin Yan's reaction was not much better, thinking: "He calls you ugly and you thank him? Are you missing some brains or ear drums?"
"You say thank you?" Yi Saisi was truly bewildered.
Seeing his reaction, with that ugly appearance, made Qiao Ying want to laugh even more. The corners of her lips twitched with the effort to keep a straight face as she said to Qin Hanyue: "I need the restroom."
Without even waiting for Qin Hanyue's response, Qiao Ying got up.
Qin Hanyue: "Qin Yan, accompany Miss Qiao."
Qin Yan: "Yes sir."
Yi Saisi signalled two of his men with his eyes.
But Qiao Ying said: "No need, I can go myself."
Qin Yan frowned, finding her antics a bit much for such a situation: "Miss Qiao..."
Yet before he could say anything, Qin Hanyue already said: "Let her go herself - Miss Qiao, take care of your own safety."
"Keep talking, I'll be right back." Qiao Ying waved and left on her own.
Yi Saisi naturally couldn't ask his men to follow her either. He watched Qiao Ying's departing back pensively.
There were over a dozen wooden houses of varying sizes surrounding the main building, and nearly every one had armed men standing guard out front.
After leaving the main building, Qiao Ying's gaze landed on one heavily guarded wooden house in particular. She circled around to the back of the house, avoiding the guards' eyes, and came up to the window.
Lifting up one corner of the window, she peeked inside.
The guards at the door were diligently doing their job, unaware an extra person had entered the house.
Qiao Ying opened one of the wooden boxes.
Packed full inside were advanced timed explosives.
This house was full of firearms and ammunition.
No wonder Yi Saisi was so confident.
There really was a lot of equipment. Given just these supplies, any mercenary group would be able to rampage across M Continent.
Looking at the timed explosives in the box, Qiao Ying had some unknown thoughts.
Suddenly she tilted her head, a crafty gleam appearing in her eyes.
