Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Monster Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Monster “Big brother, don’t waste words on him, this monster is way out of his league. If he dares to provoke our master, he deserves to die,” said the other men in black, brandishing their knives with a menacing air.
The lead man in black, no longer speaking, waved his hand, signaling them to go after the dwarf.
Upon hearing this, a lightbulb went off in the dwarf’s head. In this remote backwater, he had only encountered one tough guy, the man from Qinger Building, and he was suddenly terrified. Who exactly was that man who had so many top-tier experts under his command? Their skills were exceptional, their martial arts cultivation no less than the Imperial Forbidden Guards in the Capital.
Even the Fourth Prince didn’t have such experts under his command.
Who exactly were they?
The dwarf was full of doubts. Having just fought with them, he was badly wounded and bleeding profusely. “So, you are the men of that man from Qinger Building. Who exactly are you?”
“You’re not qualified to know. Go ask Lord Yama in the Underworld,” they replied.
The men in black didn’t bother with idle chatter. As the master had given the order, they showed no mercy to this monster, channeling all their martial power. A few knife winds, sharp as blades, rushed directly toward the dwarf.
These knife winds were filled with strong Inner Strength. Any ordinary person touched by them would get torn apart within minutes, surely dying a dismembered death.
Seeing this, the dwarf, clearly outmatched, prioritized his life over anything else. Without a second thought, he rolled off the roof.
Behind the inn was the deep Quicksand River.
The dwarf had arrived at the inn late at night and was unaware of the surroundings. Without noticing, he fell right into the Quicksand River.
Water splashed high as the dwarf fell into the river. His small figure churned a few times in the water before being swept to the riverbed, vanishing from sight in an instant.
“Big brother, what should we do now? The master ordered us to take his life,” asked a few of the men in black, looking at their leader.
“This monster, probably if not dead is critically injured. Let’s not bother with him for now. Let’s go. First, let’s visit the County Yamen and confront that ignorant Dog Official, the county magistrate,” said the leader.
The county magistrate had sent the dwarf away and was lying in bed, extremely anxious. The encounter with the dwarf had scared him badly, and he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep that night.
Not sure if it was because of the scare from the dwarf, but he was shivering under the blankets.
His wife, lying beside him, grew impatient: “Old Master, what are you doing? How can I sleep with you shaking like that?”
The county magistrate wrapped himself tighter with the blanket and said, “Madam, you really are calm. Didn’t you hear what that monster said? If I can’t find that man’s whereabouts in a few days, he will come and kill our whole family. And you can still sleep?”
“What can we do if we can’t sleep? We’re going to die anyway. Can’t you let me have a bit of peace now?”
The madam turned over impatiently, sticking her backside out and facing away from the county magistrate. She wrapped herself in the blanket and promptly fell sound asleep.
She truly was a woman with a big heart.
The county magistrate had no choice but to move a bit away from the bedside so as not to wake his wife and endure another scolding.
In his drowsy haze, suddenly, he saw several figures by the bed.
He was scared awake in an instant, sitting up abruptly: “Master, Master, spare my life, please don’t kill me. I’ll have the Yamen Runners investigate first thing tomorrow.”
One of the men in black, grabbing him by the collar at the back of his neck, dragged him out of the room and threw him into the yard.
