Chapter 608: Slap to Death
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Dark Claw Base City.
Several long-distance cannons that had been in disrepair were pointed into the distance, mounted on the moss-mottled outer wall of the base city. Their barrels had traces of war left on them.
A few warriors were stationed on the outer wall, chatting about trivial things.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, they heard someone approaching.
The chatting warriors became alert. They looked over and saw three people flying to the city wall at a fast speed. The three flew straight into the city above their heads without intending to stop.
“Three titled battle pet warriors?”
“Are they from some important family?”
The warriors wondered.
It was rare to see three titled battle pet warriors traveling together.
Phew!
While taking the lead, Li Yuafeng was flying to a certain location in the base city.
The buildings seemed to be arranged in a disorderly manner when seen from ground level, but they seemed like neatly arranged matchboxes when seen from the sky, which was a welcoming sight for certain people with OCD.
“I cannot believe that those barren lands were turned into residential areas…”
Li Yuanfeng looked at the buildings in a daze.
The mountains and deserted lands he once knew were not there.
The city was lively with its large population, but that was not the base city he had been familiar with.
“I think it’s over there…”
Li Yuanfeng turned in a certain direction. He still remembered where his family was located.
They soon arrived, but standing in front of him was not the mansion he knew; it was an office building with more than a hundred floors.
The words on the building said “Han’s Group”.
Li Yuanfeng was confused. He stood in front of the office building.
Battle pet warriors were coming and going with small and low-rank battle pets on their shoulders or by their sides. Su Ping, Su Lingyue, and Li Yuanfeng’s appearance caught many people’s attention.
Three battle pet warriors flying together certainly deserved attention.
“Look, titled battle pet warriors!”
“I heard that we’re going to have some leaders parachuted here. Are they our new leaders?”
“I think so. Apart from titled battle pet warriors, who else are qualified to come here and lead us?”
Many people discussed in low voices as they looked at the three with respect.
Titled battle pet warriors were treated nicely wherever they went.
Li Yuanfeng looked at that building; he frowned but said nothing. He went inside; Su Lingyue and Su Ping had no other choice but to follow him.
Li Yuanfeng saw a middle-aged man sitting behind a counter. The middle-aged man was an advanced battle pet warrior, so Li Yuanfeng decided to ask him, “Sorry, but can you tell me where is the Li family that was here before?”
“What? What Li family?”
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. “There is no Li family. This is the Han family’s place and it has been since a long time ago.”
“A long time ago?” Li Yuanfeng asked, “How long?”
“You don’t know?” The middle-aged man sized him up and down. He could not believe that there was someone who didn’t know about the Han family in the Dark Claw Base City. Anyone with some basic knowledge would know that the Han family had been there for three hundred years and the office building had been built two hundred years prior.
“How long?” Li Yuanfeng repeated his question.
The middle-aged said grumpily, “Can you not look it up? Ask anyone and they will be able to tell you. Anyway, are you even from here?”
Li Yuanfeng pulled a long face. “I am asking you. How long?!”
Even his mere breath had shattered the counter.
That place had once been the Li family’s foundation; they wouldn’t have given it up to anyone else. The family could have been relocated but he trusted that his family would have at least built an ancestral hall there. That should not be a place where other families would get a chance to stick their flags in.
“Huh?”
The middle-aged man was startled by the sudden breaking of the counter. He didn’t even see how it had happened. It was akin to the external release of astral powers that he knew some titled battle pet warriors were able to do!
Some special skills could generate that effect as well, but they were rarely seen.
Titled?
That middle-aged man sized up Li Yuanfeng again with more interest.
It was unlikely for a titled battle pet warrior to have no knowledge about the Han family.
Of course, unless the man was from another base city.
“Sir, are you a titled battle pet warrior? Can you tell me your title? This is the Han family’s building. Even a titled battle pet warrior would have to follow our rules or shoulder the consequences!” the middle-aged man thus claimed.
Even though the middle-aged man was just an advanced battle pet warrior, he had seen a fair amount of titled battle pet warriors.
He didn’t have to be afraid of other titled battle pet warriors because he was being backed by the Han family.
“My title?”
Li Yuanfeng was so angry that he laughed. An advanced battle pet warrior was demanding to know his title.
“Get me someone in charge here.” Li Yuanfeng was not in the mood to waste time with the man.
“I am the one in charge…”
The middle-aged man was unable to finish his sentence because he bumped into the wall behind him. The wallpaper was torn, revealing the metal inside.
Even the metal structure was curved. That was a threatening deed because the building had been built with a special alloy by some pets of the stone family with unique skills.
“Now you’re not. Get me the person who is really in charge!” Li Yuanfeng didn’t even bother to look at the man who was coughing out blood at the moment. He turned to see a girl who was pale with fright.
That girl was able to recognize the external release of energy as well because it was too well-known.
“You, you…
She wanted to say that “you are too bold to hurt him” but the miserable state of the middle-aged man made her realize that she had to do the smart thing. So, her words changed to “You can wait for a moment, right…?”
The girl made the call and stepped to the side, looking at Li Yuanfeng nervously. She feared that he would hurt other people, and she would be the first to suffer if that came to pass.
“You, you are doomed!”
The middle-aged crawled up from the ground. He pointed at Li Yuanfeng with a vicious face. “No one can bully the Han family like that!”
“Shut up!”
It was Su Ping who shouted this time.
He didn’t do anything but the middle-aged man’s head began to spin. An invisible hand had slapped him; the slap was so forceful that his neck was twisted and he spun around for a while before he collapsed on the ground.
The man was not breathing.
Li Yuanfeng was surprised. He didn’t expect that Su Ping would be that cruel. He was just trying to teach that man a lesson by hurting him but Su Ping had killed him!
