C16 You Don't Have the Right to Speak Here!

"It's like the old saying goes, 'When floodwaters hit the Dragon King's temple, even family members don't recognize each other.'"

"If the Mo family has somehow offended you, Great Commander Lau, please feel free to tell me directly. Why the hostility?"

Zheng Han gave Shen Qinghuang a quick glance but didn't make much of it. He then approached Lau Feng.

"Moreover, we're all Warriors of the War Department. Isn't there a fear of court sanctions for attacking a civilian family without just cause?"

"Court sanctions? Commander Zheng, are you certain you're not kin to the Mo family?"

Lau Feng scowled. He had thought the Mo family too audacious to stand up to him.

Turns out they were backed by the Zheng family from Dragon City!

Zheng Han surveyed the area, hesitant to engage further without knowing Lau Feng's intentions.

"What I'm saying is, let's give each other some respect and downplay today's events."

"Consider it a favor owed to you by the Zheng family."

"Hold on!" Before Lau Feng could respond, Mo Xingyun interjected.

He glared at Shen Qinghuang and spat out, "And this vile woman must be punished too!"

Zheng Han arched an eyebrow, finally giving Shen Qinghuang his full attention.

Though irritated by the interruption, he recognized that a woman who could hold Mo Xingyun's grudge was no ordinary person.

"Commander Zheng, she is the Shen family woman who brought shame to the Mo family four years ago!"

"Our family's recent misfortune is also a result of her actions!"

Zheng Han looked from Shen Qinghuang to Lau Feng, quickly piecing things together.

"I see! 'For the love of a woman, a hero is tested.' I never would have guessed that our Great Commander Lau could be so passionately incensed over a lady!"

A sly smile crossed Zheng Han's face. "If Commander Lau is in need, be it women or wealth, I can deliver it right to your door!"

"And I assure you, the quality will surpass what you see before you!"

Zheng Han's eyes flicked towards Shen Qinghuang, his insinuation clear.

"That's right! Commander Lau is only a One-star High Level Commander at his age. Were he in Dragon City, he'd be at least a four-star, if not a five-star, by now!"

"Considering this, it's unlikely that Commander Lau will spend his whole life in a place like Ling City. If he ever moves to Dragon City, having more friends than enemies would be preferable, wouldn't it?"

A carrot and stick approach!

Faced with this double-pronged tactic, would you dare to resist?

Defy us, and you'll find your path to promotion severed!

"Fine!"

"Very well!"

Shen Qinghuang's icy voice filled the hall, sending a shiver through the crowd.

She had been battling in the Chaotic Sea Domain for four years and had not anticipated that corruption had taken such a hold at home.

To think someone would attempt to bribe a High Level Commander in broad daylight!

She wondered whether it was just some families behaving this way or if the rot had spread throughout the entire Dragon Country.

If the entire Dragon Country was complicit, she would have to seriously consider whether such a nation deserved her life's dedication.

"This is not your place to speak!"

Out of nowhere, Zheng Han drew his pistol and aimed it at Shen Qinghuang's head.

"Click! Click!"

The sound of bullets being chambered echoed as every Warrior in the room, Lau Feng included, aimed their weapons at Zheng Han.

"Drop the gun!"

Commander Lau's voice cut through the tension. Pointing a gun at their Seven-star High Level Commander? Were they looking for trouble?

Zheng Han's eyes bulged with disbelief. "Have you all lost your minds?"

To think these people would dare to aim their guns at him, a One-star High Level Commander, all for the sake of a woman?
