After sending the three of them off, Beiting Huang followed Qin Yu back to Astava City. When they returned to the Snow Wolf’s headquarters, the entire headquarters was empty, with only a few weaker members guarding the door. Seeing this scene, Beiting Huang was a little worried. She wondered how Mu Qingling was doing.
Seeing Qin Yu return, a mercenary who was in charge of the daily affairs of the mercenary group hurriedly ran over. Qin Yu asked impatiently, “Did something happen in the group? Also, where’s Miss Mu? Did anything happen to her?”
The mercenary group was empty. As the young master of the mercenary group, he would definitely be very concerned if something had happened to the mercenary group. However, he asked about Mu Qingling first, which touched Beiting Huang very much.
The mercenary stationed there waved his hand and said, “No, no, Miss Mu is fine. Nothing happened. It’s the group. The president of the Mercenary Association personally invited the group leader and the others over. He said that he had something to discuss. The group leader just brought everyone who was guarding here. Miss Mu also wanted to go over and take a look, so she went over together.”
“The President of the Mercenary Association?” Qin Yu frowned and turned to Beiting Huang. “Little Ninth, trouble is coming. Previously, in the Alliance City, you gave me a bunch of Celestial Fruits. Many people came to ask for them, so why would I sell them? All of them rejected me. The other forces are fine. They know their place and don’t dare to provoke us. Only the Poison Bee Mercenary Group comes to beg me almost every day. Last time, they asked the President of the Mercenary Association to plead for mercy. I wonder what they’re up to this time.”
The two of them chatted as they walked out. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they heard roars and insults coming from the east of the city. There was an earthquake and a huge energy fluctuation. The two of them looked at each other, tapped their toes on the ground, and flew in that direction.
The east of the city was where the Mercenary Association was located. A square had been specially built at the entrance of the association, and there was an arena in the middle of the square. At this moment, two groups of people were surrounding the two sides of the arena. In addition, there were many people around, all of whom were members of other mercenary groups who had come to watch the show. From afar, Beiting Huang saw Mu Qingling standing between Rikedo and Tynon. She was no longer worried.
When they arrived at their destination, they didn’t make any noise. They found where the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group was and approached it quietly. At that moment, the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group and another Spiritual Grandmaster were already fighting in the arena. The energy fluctuations just now must have been caused by these two people. However, after a short confrontation, they were both waiting for an opportunity to find the other party’s weakness.
In the arena, the person who fought with Qin Duan was an expert in his forties or fifties. He was wearing the long robe of the Mercenary Association. He gently moved his wrist and stared at Qin Duan with his hawk-like eyes. He said unhappily, “Your Excellency Qin Duan, let’s name a price. Even if the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is a rare A-rank mercenary group on the continent, and is also affiliated with the Mercenary Association, you have to know that if you do another S-rank Quests, you can advance to an S-rank mercenary group. Have you really decided to fall out with my Mercenary Association for a mere Celestial Fruit?”
This person was from the Mercenary Association. Beiting Huang didn’t know him, but they were both members of the Mercenary Association. Compared to Mogg, this person was simply inferior. Beiting Huang was very displeased. She stood with her arms crossed and asked, “Brother Qin Yu, what’s the background of the Poison Bee Mercenary Group? How did they manage to invite the President of the Mercenary Association? Could it be an S-rank mercenary group?”
“No, on the continent, other than Iron Blood, where else can there be an S-rank mercenary group?” Qin Yu was obviously worried, but he was still smiling at Beiting Huang.
