Chapter 295 What are we going to use to settle accounts? His rank is higher than all of yours.
The square was deathly silent.
Under the silent witness of all the members of the patrol division.
Faced with the choice between life and death.
The spineless young master of the poor family chose to live.
Although one billion federal dollars is a lot, not a small amount, he still had to pay it. He even borrowed two hundred million each from Kui Xin and Fu Shenxing, who hadn't had time to leave, promising that they could go to the Han family in Suihan City to ask for it. With a lot of equipment, props, and materials, he barely managed to gather enough.
After accepting the money for his life, Jiang Yuan smiled at Han Longzhu and said, "My name is Jiang Yuan. If your elders or great-grandfathers still want your family's heirlooms back, tell them to come find me. I'm always ready to oblige."
Han Longzhu shivered and quickly said, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."
Seeing that Jiang Yuan had finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
The cold and aloof man, Leng Cuifeng, suddenly blurted out:
"Your name has been recorded by the Patrol Division."
Jiang Yuan stopped and turned to look.
The dozen or so patrol officers felt a chill run down their spines. They couldn't help but complain about why their captain had to say something more and provoke this troublemaker. Wouldn't it have been better to just let him leave?
Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Does this mean you want to fight me to the death, to be entangled with me to the very end?"
"You can think of it this way: it's the duty of the Patrol Division to hunt down anyone who breaks the law," Leng Cuifeng said calmly.
Jiang Yuan adjusted the hilt of the demon sword at his waist and clicked his tongue, saying, "Even your deputy director is no match for me. Having witnessed the difference in strength between us, you still dare to say such things? Aren't you afraid I'll slaughter you all?"
Leng Cuifeng remained silent for a moment, before he could speak, a young woman from the patrol division, who had exposed her fair arms, suddenly sneered, "If you're afraid of death, you shouldn't be doing this job."
Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over.
With his current mental strength, just a glance was enough to strike the sixth-level female warrior's mental world like lightning, her soul felt as if it were being scorched by the sun, and her consciousness was on the verge of collapse.
Her face was pale, but she remained stubborn, biting her lip and staring intently at Jiang Yuan.
"Good eyesight."
After saying this, Jiang Yuan did nothing but glance at Zheng Huangtong before turning and disappearing into a suddenly appearing blue vortex.
His imposing aura was gone.
The female warrior instantly collapsed to the ground, her legs buckling, her body drenched in sweat, and she was panting heavily.
This shows how much pressure the boy in black put on her.
Leng Cuifeng frowned deeply and muttered, "Jiang Yuan...? When did such a dangerous fellow appear in the capital?"
He opened the system panel and searched through the S-level and SS-level wanted lists of the Patrol Division, but couldn't find any guy with the relevant name at all.
"Captain Leng, I think we must inform the Chief of the Bureau and the Ten Ministers Association about this matter and mobilize all available resources to arrest this person. Otherwise, how can our Patrol Bureau maintain its standing in the capital?"
A young patrolman said angrily as he helped up the injured Taoist robe-clad man, who was being treated by a female healer.
Zheng Huangtong, who hadn't left yet, said, "I advise you to just forget about it."
Leng Cuifeng and the others looked at her.
Zheng Huangtong, who had already put away the silver rifle, crossed her arms, her clear eyes like a green lake, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she said something surprising: "Not only is he not a dangerous element, but he is also a person highly valued by Great Xia. You could say he is a colleague of your Patrol Division, and his rank in Great Xia is even higher than yours."
"What?!"
Everyone was completely stunned.
The sixth-tier female warrior gaped in disbelief.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "I remember now!"
"Could he be the youngest recipient of the Purple Dragon Medal?! That Jiang Yuan, nicknamed 'God Jiang'?!"
These words sent a jolt through everyone, including Leng Cuifeng.
Kui Xin, Fu Shenxing, and Han Longzhu also stared wide-eyed.
"That, that top scorer in the college entrance exam?!"
The sixth-tier female martial artist named Fang Yun stared blankly, "He is...?"
"Whoosh—!!!!"
A tremendous whooshing sound came from overhead.
A figure landed heavily like a meteor, creating a huge crater in the square. The violent shockwave sent Han Longzhu flying, tumbling several times in a sorry state.
Luo Yan, his face dark and gloomy, emerged from the dust, seemingly enveloped in dense, dark battle aura.
He stared intently at Zheng Huangtong and asked, "It's him?"
Zheng Huangtong nodded: "That's right. As far as I know, the holders of the Purple Dragon Medal are not bound by the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Inspection Division has no right to judge or investigate; it is only the Ten Ministers Council that is directly responsible. Besides, today's matter... it's a misunderstanding. That person offended us first."
At this point, Zheng Huangtong twirled a strand of silver hair behind her ear and looked at Han Longzhu and the others, who were already terrified, with a half-smile: "Offending a general appointed by the Great Xia Dynasty, a holder of the Purple Dragon Medal, and gathering a mob to try to rob him of his belongings, shouldn't that be considered a capital offense? Even if he kills you all, it would be perfectly justified."
"A general?!" The young man from the patrol division, who had been indignant, was dumbfounded.
Such a young general?!
"Is that so?"
Luo Yan's terrifying gaze swept over Han Longzhu, who was lying on the ground trembling like a leaf, his face ashen. "If you don't tell the truth, believe me, I have countless ways to find out the facts."
at this point.
Han Longzhu had no choice but to admit, trembling with fear, that he had led the attack on Jiang Yuan in an attempt to seize the family's most precious treasure.
After listening to what he said.
The patrol officers, led by the cold-faced man, looked at him with hostility, gritting their teeth as if they wanted to skin him alive.
So it was you who caused all this trouble, making us suffer so much! You even offended such a... unparalleled genius general. You've been disrespectful to your superiors, and I don't know how many reprimands you'll receive later!
You deserve to die!
Luo Yan took a deep breath, turned around, and glanced coldly at the Cold Dragon Bamboo on the ground:
"Group robbery constitutes a violation of the law; he's sentenced to one year in confinement! Take him back!"
Hanlongzhu was utterly desperate.
Not only did he lose everything and incur huge debts after failing to retrieve the family's treasure, but he also faced imprisonment. He was so desperate that he even contemplated suicide.
...............
In high spirits, Zheng Huangtong sat on the empty shuttle on her way home and sent a message to several guild members in the guild group, telling them that she had found a way to break the curse and that Xiao Qing's curse could be cured.
Soon the top-tier guild group, which had only ten members, was buzzing with excitement.
"Really?!"
"The president is awesome!!"
"Could the president have actually found someone from the Pure Land?!"
"I guess they bought the [Pure Fire Lotus]."
"Really? Isn't that the prized possession of the [Yan Kingdom] guild leader? They'd actually sell it?"
"No, it's not that. I found someone who can remove ancient mechanical contamination."
"That's awesome?! Who is it?"
"Stop guessing. I'll keep you in suspense for now. You'll find out soon enough. Meet at the entrance of the [Mechanical Emperor's Burial Ground] abyss at 10 AM the day after tomorrow."
……
Evening in Imperial Capital, 5:43.
After finishing his business, Jiang Yuan did not rush back to the academy, nor did he return to Yuan Ling's villa.
Instead, based on Xiao Hei's search, they found an old Beijing hot pot restaurant with a great reputation among martial artists. The manager was an elderly man in his sixties who was a chef with a very high level of skill. Even the simplest ingredients could be turned into a medicinal dish in his hands, with the effect of nourishing the body.
While cultivating and leveling up, one should also steal moments of leisure to occasionally enjoy life alone.
After arriving at the destination.
Jiang Yuan requested a private room and ordered dozens of plates of Black Sesame Bull, Five-Colored Deer, and Frozen Blood Lamb.
Both are well-known Tier 6 Abyss monsters, and are quite expensive, fetching between 3 million and 5 million per kilogram.
The experienced chef, surnamed Liu, seeing that he had ordered so much, kindly advised, "Young man, this meat is of very high grade. Putting aside the price, it contains too much life energy. I advise you to order less. You should know that great nourishment can be great poison. Not only is it a waste, but I'm also afraid you'll develop some health problems..."
Jiang Yuan smiled and took out the warrior badge that symbolized his identity as a warrior general, and placed it on the table.
Master Liu abruptly stopped speaking.
He quickly pursed his lips, served all the dishes as fast as he could, then closed the door and left without making a sound.
