Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Confession Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Confession Liu Daquan was somewhat stupefied and felt a chill in his heart.
This time, he was truly done for.
Not to mention Jing Yan had killed a guard from the official guard squad, his actions were sure to completely offend Mayor Gao Yan.
When he had come, Liu Daquan’s idea had been to rely on Jing Yan’s status as a scion of a great family, at least to speak up to the mayor and then apologize himself, giving up a portion of his assets.
That way, maybe he could reach a compromise with Gao Yan, at the very least to have his daughter released first.
But now, it was clearly impossible to negotiate any further.
How could talks proceed after killing the man’s gatekeeper guard?
Just as Liu Daquan’s mind was muddled and cluttered with thoughts, he heard another loud noise.
The scene before his eyes suddenly snapped into focus.
At that sight, he was utterly shocked, nearly tumbling over.
He saw Young Master Jing Yan, slashing the gatehouse of the Mayor Mansion flat with a single sword.
That’s right—the entire elegant gatehouse had collapsed, turning into rubble, genuine dust particles, without even a large fragment left to see.
Oh, my lord, what on earth are you doing?
Are you trying to level the Mayor Mansion?
From a distance, the martial artists who had come to watch bore almost the same expression as Liu Daquan; they too were confused about what Jing Yan was trying to achieve!
Was he giving the mayor a fierce warning?
Showing the mayor how formidable he was?
Or was he trying to force the mayor to release Liu Xiaoyue?
Such actions were truly foolish.
Mayor Gao Yan, although only a martial artist at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven Realm, was still the mayor, not someone a gang like the Sky Wolf Gang could compete with.
If Jing Yan dared disrespect the mayor, the Duyang City Lord Mansion might even send their guard to arrest Jing Yan.
Jing Yan, also being a scion from the prominent families of Donglin City, shouldn’t have been ignorant of this, shouldn’t have been unaware of how formidable the official forces were.
With the gatehouse destroyed, the noise was tremendous, and the entire Mayor Mansion was in turmoil.
One after another, guards in black armor quickly assembled, carrying various sharp weapons, and rapidly moved toward the location of the gatehouse.
Meanwhile, Mayor Gao Yan, with his long beard, also furrowed his brows deeply.
Hearing the loud noise, he stepped out of his room in perplexity.
Just as Gao Yan stepped out of his room, a martial artist faced him.
“Housekeeper Mo, what has happened?” Gao Yan asked the approaching martial artist.
This Housekeeper Mo had been the housekeeper at Sky Wolf Village before, the one who had received Jing Yan and Liu Daquan outside the village.
When Jing Yan had executed the key members of the Sky Wolf Gang, Housekeeper Mo, seeing an opportunity, had stealthily escaped; Jing Yan hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but unexpectedly this guy had run off to the Mayor Mansion to continue as its housekeeper.
“Mayor, it was Liu Daquan who brought Jing Yan here.
Our mansion’s gatehouse has also been destroyed.
The noise just now was caused by that bastard Jing Yan,” Housekeeper Mo said with a slightly tense face, speaking very quickly.
He had personally witnessed Jing Yan killing three head figures of the Sky Wolf Gang before, and had a very deep impression of Jing Yan’s strength.
Although he was in the Mayor Mansion, he still didn’t feel very safe.
This little bastard is utterly lawless!
“Ha ha, finally you have come.
This kid has some guts to dare to come to Black Wind Town.
I thought he wouldn’t dare to step into Duyang City again!
Let’s go meet him,” Gao Yan said with a sparkle in his eye, laughing.
He didn’t know that Jing Yan had been in Moonlight Forest this entire time and hadn’t left Duyang City at all.
“Mayor, you should be careful.
Although Jing Yan is young, he is extremely vicious,” Housekeeper Mo warned Gao Yan, seeing that he didn’t take Jing Yan as a threat.
“Housekeeper Mo, you don’t need to worry.”
“Hehe, that Jing Yan, as long as he’s sane, he wouldn’t dare to mess around.
This is the Black Wind Town Mayor Mansion, my name is even registered at the Duyang City Lord Mansion.
No matter how strong Jing Yan is, if he dares to lay a hand on me, that means going against the Duyang City Lord Mansion.
I don’t believe he has the guts,” Gao Yan said nonchalantly, squinting his eyes and waving his hand dismissively.
Hearing Gao Yan’s words, Housekeeper Mo also relaxed quite a bit.
In fact, he knew this without Gao Yan saying so.
However, the fact that Jing Yan had just appeared and directly destroyed the entrance of the Mayor Mansion made it somewhat uncertain.
“How dare you, barging into the Mayor Mansion, surrender now!”
“Stop immediately, or we’ll have to take action!”
The black armored guards surrounded Jing Yan and Liu Daquan, shouting continuously.
They had also seen the two guards killed by Jing Yan and their hearts sank slightly, watching Jing Yan and Liu Daquan even more cautiously.
“Liu Daquan, you’ve got some nerve, daring to bring people to attack my Mayor Mansion!
Are you tired of living?”
At that moment, Gao Yan and Housekeeper Mo quickly stepped forward from behind.
As soon as they appeared, they shouted at Liu Daquan with a grim face.
“Are you Gao Yan?” Jing Yan looked at this bearded old man and, without waiting for Liu Daquan to speak, he asked.
“And who might you be?” Gao Yan stared at Jing Yan.
He knew who Jing Yan was, but he still intentionally asked again.
I heard you went to the Liu Family to find me not long ago and even wanted to capture me,” Jing Yan chuckled and said.
You’re right, I indeed wanted to capture you.
I didn’t expect you’d actually show up at my Mayor Mansion willingly!
It seems you are planning to be taken to Duyang City obediently,” Gao Yan said loudly.
He kept repeating that this place is the Mayor Mansion just to remind Jing Yan not to act recklessly.
Actually, he was also worried about Jing Yan suddenly lashing out irreversibly.
If his guards at the Mayor Mansion couldn’t stop Jing Yan, the consequences would be difficult to predict.
Being able to single-handedly eliminate the Sky Wolf Gang was enough evidence of the frightening strength of this young Martial Artist named Jing Yan.
“Hehe…” Jing Yan smiled upon hearing what Gao Yan said.
“Gao Yan, on what grounds do you want to capture me?” Jing Yan asked with a laugh.
“Grounds?” Gao Yan was slightly stunned, “You murdered Wei Chongyang, the manager of the Wei Family in Duyang City, which is a serious crime.
And you still dare to ask me on what grounds.
Jing Yan, you truly are heartless and lawless.
I would advise you to confess, and take responsibility voluntarily—perhaps you might even save your life.”
He wanted Jing Yan to confess so that he could take him to Duyang City.
If he indeed handed Jing Yan over to the Wei Family, it would certainly be applauded as a meritorious deed.
As for whether Jing Yan could live by confessing, that was absolutely impossible, of course.
Whether Jing Yan lives or dies once with the Wei Family was, naturally, of no concern to Gao Yan.
