Chapter 89: Strike at the Vital Spot

In the headquarters of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company in Qingshan Town, a man with scars all over his face and a fierce look in his eyes sat on a tiger-skin chair. He continuously tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, coldly overlooking the trembling Mu Li, who knelt below.

This man was Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company and Mu Lis father.

Are you saying that all ten of the team members you brought were killed by that guy named Xiao Yan, a Three-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) ? After listening to Mu Lis word, Mu Shes gaze became even colder, and a hint of red flashed in his eyes as he glared at his son.

Do you think I would believe such a ridiculous story?

Father Father! I would never dare to deceive you! Upon hearing Mu Shes displeased words, filled with a hint of killing intent, Mu Li immediately knelt on the ground, pressing his head firmly against the floor, and recounted Xiao Yans actions.

When I encountered Xiao Yan earlier today, he instantly killed two Second-Grade Magical Beasts, the Scarlet Ice Snakes! And in that cave, he killed one of our team members with each move! It was only by giving it my all that I managed to escape with my life!

As Mu Li recounted his experiences, Mu She furrowed his brows tightly.

A Three-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) who could instantly kill two Second-Grade Magical Beasts and repeatedly defeat opponents much stronger than him. These outrageous claims were something Mu She would never have believed before, because it was absurd.

However, Mu She also didnt believe that anyone in the Wolf Head Mercenary Company would dare to deceive him, especially his own son.

Even if Mu Li had fabricated lies about the loss of their team members, he wouldnt have used such an outrageous reason.

Therefore, there was only one explanation.

Mu Li was telling the truth.

If what Mu Li said was true, then Xiao Yan truly possessed strength far surpassing their own.

But this matter sounded too unbelievable

Under Xiao Yixians benevolent actions, the mercenaries regarded her pranks as nothing more than jokes, and no one took it too seriously.

Apart from the mercenaries, other residents of the town also had no ill feelings towards Xiao Yixian. This was because Boss Yao often charged very little for his medical services, and Xiao Yixian occasionally followed suit. The residents had accumulated goodwill towards them.

Upon hearing Mu Lis words, Mu She felt even more disappointed. He sighed and massaged his forehead with a hint of helplessness.

Do you have to let others know that we fabricated the rumors when you spread them?

Mu Shes words made Mu Li suddenly realize, but his brows furrowed once again.

Father, why not tarnish Xiao Yans reputation instead? Unlike Xiao Yixian, he is an outsider. The townspeople dont know him well, so it would be easier to convince them to doubt him than to doubt Xiao Yixian.

Then, if Xiao Yixian comes forward to explain for Xiao Yan, do you think the residents would believe our rumors or believe Xiao Yixian?

This Mu Li was instantly silenced by his fathers words, and his mind finally cleared.

Wasnt this obvious? Based on unknown rumors and Xiao Yixians own words, the townspeople would definitely believe her!

While Xiao Yan, as an outsider, had no reputation to speak of, Xiao Yixians reputation in Qingshan Town was more than enough to protect him.

Once the same rumor was debunked once, it would be useless afterwards.

If you want to strike, aim for the vital spot. To kill someone, you must hit where it hurts and not give the other party a chance to retaliate. A cold glint flashed in Mu Shes eyes as his scarred hand partially covered his face. You dont need to consider whether the residents will believe the rumors or not. You dont even need them to believe. You just need to plant a seed of doubt about Xiao Yixian in their hearts.

The seed will gradually grow, take root, and sprout until it becomes an unshakable giant tree.

When that time comes, we only need to give it a little push. Xiao Yixian will be left speechless, and the reputation she has built up will crumble in an instant!
