“Take them away, and kill anyone who resists.” Iron Head waved his big hand and shouted.
Faced with Iron Head’s extreme toughness, the ten or so Lion Tribe people did not dare to move, and were obediently taken out of the market.
Liya looked at Iron Head’s imposing figure with shining eyes, and suddenly said firmly to her father Tim, “Father, I want him to be my man.”
Tim was stunned. This… doesn’t sound reliable.
Human and dwarf aesthetics are completely different. For dwarves, the strong and robust Liya is like a goddess, but human men generally prefer tall and delicate-featured women.
Some people who gathered around heard Liya’s words and burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at? He’s my hero, and I’m determined to make him my man.” Liya turned her head and glared at the person who was laughing.
“Liya, do you know who that bald military officer was just now? That’s the City Lord’s confidant, Iron Head, the commander-in-chief. Last time when the Orcs attacked the city, I had the honor of seeing his bravery. This West Spirit City is full of beautiful women. I’m not trying to bring you down, but he won’t be interested in you.” The middle-aged man from a nearby shop spoke up.
Liya snorted, swung her iron hammer a few times, and turned to leave.
In her heart, Iron Head was already within her grasp.
Poor Iron Head had no idea that he had caught the eye of a fierce dwarf girl. If he had known, he might have regretted personally coming to patrol.
………
Under the gaze of the handsome youth sitting casually opposite him, the burly Kero slightly bent over, feeling the eyes cutting through him like two knives. The invisible pressure rendered him unable to breathe.
“Kero, what is your opinion on the people from your tribe acting tyrannically in West Hill Town?” Qi Bei sipped his tea and casually asked.
“City Lord, this is definitely a shame for my Lion Tribe. As the leader of the Lion Tribe, Kero is extremely ashamed. I never expected them to cause trouble under my banner. Please punish them severely, my lord.” Kero replied.
“Kero, I acknowledge your integrity. I truly believe that you were unaware of this situation. Nevertheless, I request that you banish those individuals from your tribe and ensure they never set foot in West Spirit City again,” Qi Bei stated in a calm manner.
Kero trembled all over. According to the rules of the West Spirit City, those people from his tribe would only receive a few lashes and a fine of some gold coins at most. It shouldn’t have been such a severe punishment. Could it be that the City Lord was actually punishing him on purpose?
“I will accept whatever punishment the City Lord decides,” Kero gritted his teeth.
“Do you think that the punishment given by this Lord is too severe?” Qi Bei asked casually, turning the exquisite tea cup in his hand.
“I dare not say, my lord,” Kero replied, lowering his head insincerely.
Qi Bei stood up, placed his hand on Kero’s shoulder and said, “There is a reason why I’m doing this.”
“Jin Gang is a descendant of the Beast God Clan. He has awakened his tyrannical bloodline. Do you want him to stay by my side as a guard for the rest of his life?” Qi Bei said.
Kero suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with excitement. In fact, Kero was more loyal to Jin Gang than to Qi Bei.
“I want Jin Gang to become the king of the entire Orc tribe. He has the qualifications to establish a new Orc empire,” Qi Bei said slowly.
“Thank you, my lord,” Kero said excitedly. The descendants of the Beast God Clan should have been the king of all the Orc tribes. He did not expect that Qi Bei had such a plan. However, he was a little confused. What did this have to do with expelling his people from the West Spirit City?
Qi Bei smiled and said nothing.
Kero suddenly had a flash of insight and said, “My lord, are you suggesting to plant a mole…?”
At this moment, Kero’s mood was completely different from before. If he was angry before, he was now moved. Qi Bei had told him such an important matter, which was a complete trust in him.
“My lord, I’m not sure which side you want to implant the mole?” Kero asked, lowering his voice even though he knew no one could be eavesdropping around them.
“The Bimon tribe. On the one hand, they are the strongest, and on the other hand, their army is closest to us, posing the greatest threat to us,” Qi Bei said.
“You are wise, City Lord,” Kero flattered him for once.
“You go and take care of it. I will arrange for the people,” Qi Bei said.
“Yes.” Kero bowed and left.
Qi Bei sat down and absent-mindedly held his teacup.
Suddenly, a pair of soft and boneless jade hands rested on Qi Bei’s shoulders, gently massaging him.
“Young Master, do you trust Kero?” Huan Ying asked softly. She had been hiding nearby.
“Trust takes time to build, and it takes one or two things to see through a person,” Qi Bei replied.
“You gave this task to Kero as a test, didn’t you?” Huan Ying asked.
“Well, don’t you trust him?” Qi Bei heard something in Huan Ying’s tone.
“I don’t trust anyone except you and Big Brother. Although Kero was once my father’s subordinate, I always feel like he’s hiding something,” Huan Ying said.
Qi Bei patted Huan Ying’s soft hand. Everyone has secrets, and as long as the hidden information doesn’t pose a threat to him or his people, he won’t inquire.
Just then, Lone Eye hurried in and said, “City Lord, the two disciples from the Beast Manor are back, saying they have urgent matters to see you.”
Two of them? Qi Bei felt something was wrong. The two disciples from the Beast Manor had returned, but Xiao Jiu had not. It seemed that something had indeed happened.
Soon, the disciples Dia and Xiao Li from the Beast Manor arrived. They looked somewhat disheveled and anxious.
“What happened?” Qi Bei asked in a deep voice.
“City Lord, please save our senior sister. She and your guard Xiao Jiu fell into the bottom of a cliff in the Savage Wastelands,” Xiao Li said with a crying voice.
A cliff…
Qi Bei was stunned for a moment. As long as Xiao Jiu was conscious, with her strength as an earth-attribute King-grade mage and a wind-attribute Senior mage, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.
“But there’s something strange about the cliff. It’s deep and unfathomable. Dia and I tried to climb down the cliff, but we couldn’t reach the bottom,” Xiao Li said.
“Then we waited on the cliff for three days, but Senior Sister and Xiao Jiu never came up again,” Dia added, looking panicked.
The Savage Wastelands was full of dangers. When they went in, Yan Fangfei and Xiao Jiu were with them and they managed to avoid many dangers. However, when they decided to return for help, they almost couldn’t make it out alive from the mouths of some monsters and fierce beasts.
Thinking of Xiao Jiu in danger, Qi Bei couldn’t help but feel anxious, but he didn’t show it on his face.
“Have you asked for help from the Beast Manor?” Qi Bei asked, not mentioning Xiao Jiu. If a core disciple of one of the five Holy Lands was in danger, the experts of the Holy Land would not remain indifferent, right?
“We have asked for help from our sect, but the Beast Manor is far away. The help may come too late. So, City Lord, please help our Senior Sister. Please consider it as Xiao Li’s request,” Xiao Li’s eyes were filled with tears, and she didn’t mention Xiao Jiu. Perhaps instinctively, she felt that Qi Bei wouldn’t care too much about the life of a bodyguard and wouldn’t take risks for him.
“Take them away, and kill anyone who resists.” Iron Head waved his big hand and shouted.
