C15 If You Don't Want to Stay Then Go First!
Mo Xingyun had some knowledge of the laws.
Yet, what was Commander Lau implying? "My family has always shown you the utmost respect. What do you mean by this accusation?"
From the moment Lau Feng made his entrance, both he and Mo Shuiyun maintained a courteous demeanor, all smiles. There was no hint of opposition to the Dragon Country.
Fool!
Lau Feng gave him a contemptuous glance. He deemed the man too oblivious to warrant an explanation.
"Great Commander, Mo Xingyun's limbs are broken. What are your orders?"
"Clear the area!"
"Understood!"
Lau Feng gestured, and Warriors from the War Department flooded in. "Everyone not of the Mo family has three minutes to leave, or face the consequences!"
"Ah! Stop pushing; we'll leave on our own!"
"You've ruined my dress!"
The once serene hall erupted into chaos, filled with cries and screams.
In the turmoil, many from the Mo family tried to slip away.
But as they neared the hall's entrance, the eagle-eyed Lau Feng tossed them back inside.
"I'm merely a servant of the Mo family. Why keep me here?"
The ejected individual was clearly reluctant, aware that those left behind by the War Department's dramatic entrance would face grim prospects.
"Thud!"
Yun Zheng's foot connected with the person's chest, sending him flying with the crack of breaking bones.
"Anyone unwilling to stay, leave now!"
The disorder in the hall intensified.
Those unrelated to the Mo family desperately fled, stumbling and tripping over each other as if death itself were in pursuit.
"Commander Lau!"
Covered in grime, Mo Shuiyun approached. "This woman is nothing but a discarded concubine of my younger brother. What's so special about her that you would flout Dragon Country's laws to defend her?"
"Remember, even as a High Level Commander of Dragon Country, the court will hold you accountable for mistreating us, the common people!"
"Smack!"
Shen Qinghuang's hand connected sharply with Mo Shuiyun's face.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
...
After several resounding slaps, Mo Shuiyun saw stars as she collapsed to the floor.
However, just then, from behind the crowd...
"What's happening here?"
A voice, filled with confusion, pierced the panic and tension in the hall.
A man in his late twenties, sporting a star on his shoulder, strode in through the hall's entrance.
With his small eyes and thin eyebrows, he exuded a rogue charm that seemed at odds with his attire.
On the ground lay Mo Xingyun, his limbs severed, eyes suddenly alight with hope. His savior had arrived!
Zheng Han, the third son of the Zheng family from Dragon City, was a notorious playboy who usually held himself above the rest.
He had appeared to be nothing more than a fair-weather friend, but now, he was Mo Xingyun's last lifeline.
"Commander Zheng, save me, please save me!"
Mo Xingyun's voice was hoarse with desperation as he wriggled his body, inching toward Zheng Han like a stranded worm.
"What on earth happened to you?"
Zheng Han was taken aback. The Mo Xingyun before him bore no resemblance to the once proud and spirited man.
And if he wasn't mistaken, those surrounding them were members of the War Department!
Among them was an old acquaintance, Lau Feng!
A Ling City War Department Commander, he too was a One-star High Level Commander, just like himself!
"Commander Zheng!" Mo Xingyun, having struggled to Zheng Han's feet, blurted out, "I am willing to trade all of the Mo family's fortune for your intervention!"
The entire fortune of the Mo family!
Zheng Han's heart raced. The Mo family was among Ling City's elite!
Their fortune was undoubtedly greater than that of his own Zheng family, especially since the Zhengs were not focused on commerce.
He couldn't deny the temptation he felt at that moment!
Even if it meant crossing a High Level Commander of equal rank!
