After sending Young Master Hai flying with a single slap, the silver-armored general acted as if nothing had happened and asked lightly, “Do I look like a fool?”
His attack wasn’t heavy, but Young Master Hai was only a Principle Source Stage master, so how could he withstand it? Half of his teeth had been shattered and his face was swollen.
After staggering to his feet, he covered his face and stared at the silver-armored general in disbelief, “You… you dare hit me?”
Since he was young, let alone being beaten up, no one had ever spoken a single harsh word to him, but today, many of his teeth had been knocked out, causing him to lose all face. Immediately, their entire bodies trembled as he angrily shouted, “What are you two idiots doing? Kill them!”
As soon as these words came out, the two Third Order Open Heaven Stage masters that Young Master Hai had brought with him changed their expressions greatly, quickly signaling him to calm down. Not to mention that these two weren’t necessarily their opponents, even if they could defeat them, they wouldn’t dare to act here. This was the Star City under the jurisdiction of Great Battle Heaven, and these people were all disciples from Great Battle Heaven. If they were to really kill someone here, how could the consequences be good? Even if they had powerful backgrounds, they wouldn’t be able to bear such consequences.
Young Master Hai, however, turned a deaf ear and continued shouting.
The silver-armored general glanced over coldly, “If you continue to be so noisy, it won’t be as simple as just slapping you.” A faint murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
Young Master Hai couldn’t help shivering, perhaps realizing the danger he was in, but he didn’t dare say anything.
Yang Kai, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help feeling happy! This was the first time he had seen someone from Great Battle Heaven carry out official duties. As expected of a military force, it was truly unyielding and hard to resist.
Knowing that this calamity was over, Yang Kai stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, “Sir, it’s all thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise, my companion and I would have been in deep trouble. These fellows took a liking to my companion’s beauty and threatened her in broad daylight. If we were even the slightest bit disobedient, they would have attacked. I hope Sir can understand.”
The silver-armored general glanced at him indifferently before coldly snorting and simply waving his hand, “Take them all away!”
“Sir?” Yang Kai was a bit confused. What was going on? Taking Young Master Hai and the other two away was understandable, but why was he taking himself and Luo Haiyi as well?
Before he could finish his thought, the people from the Great Battle Heaven around him all began throwing ropes towards everyone present. These ropes were like spiritual snakes, binding everyone tightly.
Yang Kai immediately became anxious and shouted, “Sir, we are the victims!”
“Whether it was the victim or not, I, Great Battle Heaven, will investigate it thoroughly. It’s not up to you to say anything,” The silver-armored general didn’t even look back.
“Sir, we’re from the First Inn,” Yang Kai hurriedly said, wanting to use the title of the Proprietress to intimidate them.
The silver-armored general leading the way suddenly stopped and turned around, “Are you from the First Inn?”
Yang Kai quickly nodded, but before he could say anything, he saw the silver-armored general rush towards him and punch him in the stomach, causing his internal organs to tumble. Yang Kai was in so much pain that his entire body was bent like a shrimp.
“If Madam Lan were here, this general might have to give her some face, how dare a mere shop assistant like you speak so arrogantly?”
The silver-armored general’s cold voice rang out in Yang Kai’s ears, causing him to grit his teeth. How could he not know that he had really fallen this time? Even bringing up the name of the First Inndidn’t work. This Great Battle Heaven’s style was beyond his imagination.
“Take him away!” The silver-armored general shouted again and led the way while the others followed closely behind Yang Kai, Luo Haiyi, and Young Master Hai.
“Big Brother Yang, how are you?” Luo Haiyi was on the verge of tears, her heart filled with self-reproach. If it weren’t for her implicating Yang Kai, he wouldn’t have suffered such an undeserved catastrophe. She also didn’t expect that Young Master Hai would actually bully her like this. She had clearly returned the reward, yet he had still chased her all the way to this place. In the end, she had attracted the people from Great Battle Heaven and caused a disaster.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to return. However, when she received Yang Kai’s message just now, she had thought that he had some urgent matter to attend to. On top of that, she was a little reluctant to see this Young Master Hai, so she had naturally left.
“I’m fine,” Yang Kai shook his head. The force of that punch wasn’t too strong, so he wasn’t injured, only in pain.
“It’s all my fault…” Luo Haiyi’s eyes turned red.
Yang Kai said, “Don’t say that, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame some trash!”
Turning his head to look, Young Master Hai and the other two also stared at him with unfriendly expressions, all of them harboring malicious intentions. They were people with great backgrounds, so even if they were caught red-handed by someone from Great Battle Heaven, there was nothing to be afraid of. At most, they would be able to compensate them with some money, but these two pieces of trash were different. Such trash didn’t have any money to compensate, so they would definitely suffer a bit later.
Young Master Hai secretly bore a grudge and swore that he would teach Yang Kai a good lesson later and let him know the consequences of offending him!
Luo Haiyi was originally living in the outermost region of the Star City, where all kinds of people lived. The buildings there were quite messy and were generally the residences of the lowest level people in the Star City, so there weren’t many people there. However, as they continued forward and arrived at the Star City’s bustling area, countless people stopped to look at them and point at the people who were tied up. No one knew what these people had done to cause them to fall into the hands of someone from Great Battle Heaven.
Many people didn’t know what kind of rules other Star Cities had, but in this Star City, it was Great Battle Heaven's territory. Anyone who dared to cause trouble here, regardless of whether they were big or small, wouldn’t have a good end. There had been a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage master who had fought with others in the Star City, but in the end, he had been blocked by Great Battle Heaven's people and killed on the spot! And that Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage master was an Elder from a Second Class Force!
Since then, no one in the Star City dared to casually stir up trouble. If there was really some kind of irreconcilable grievance, they could establish a life and death contract and enter the Asura Arena to fight it out. In any case, they couldn’t cause trouble in the Star City.
Young Master Hai and the others were ashamed and resentful. The feeling of being surrounded by so many people was unbearable, and they wanted nothing more than to find a piece of cloth to cover their faces. Yang Kai and Luo Haiyi were also embarrassed. Yang Kai was still better off, this matter wasn’t their fault. It was Young Master Hai who was too arrogant and overbearing, causing trouble. Luo Haiyi was a woman after all, and with so many people watching and pointing at her, she couldn’t help feeling ashamed.
However, this group of people from Great Battle Heaven seemed to be deliberately trying to establish their prestige, leading everyone wherever they went, and walking at a leisurely pace. On their way here, they had basically walked half of the Star City.
When he saw the silver-armored general teach Young Master Hai a lesson, Yang Kai secretly cheered, his impression of Great Battle Heaven suddenly rising to a whole new level, but now he no longer had any good impressions of it, only feeling that this group of people was truly hateful.
After walking for more than an hour, the group finally arrived in front of a huge building. This was a large hall that stood in the center of the Star City, the Great Chief Commander Mansion.
Yang Kai had been in Star City for quite some time now, so he naturally had some understanding of this Great Chief Commander Mansion. This place was set up in the Star City by Great Battle Heaven and was governed by an extremely powerful Great Chief Commander. Normally, it was deserted and only Great Battle Heaven’s disciples came and went.
Arriving here, the silver-armored general led them through a checkpoint and down into a dungeon.
The light in the dungeon was dim, and the stench of decay filled the air.
“Each of you take a room, lock them up!” The silver-armored general waved his hand and the people who had been escorted back were immediately separated and locked up in the cell.
Luo Haiyi had never experienced such a situation before, so her beautiful face immediately paled. Even though Yang Kai was consoling her, her mood was still somewhat unstable.
With a loud bang, the cell door closed and Yang Kai stood inside, with a strange look on his face.
This was the first time in his life that he had entered a cell where his cultivation wasn’t restricted. Sweeping his Divine Sense around, he found that this cell wasn’t very sturdy. If he wanted to, he could have broken through it by force, but there was no point in doing so. Fleeing would only make things more troublesome.
Right now, he could only hope that the Great Battle Heaven’s people could act impartially and release him and Luo Haiyi as soon as possible.
Opposite him, Young Master Hai and the two Third Order Open Heaven Stage guards stared at him coldly. Young Mastger Hai was constantly shouting and cursing, telling Yang Kai to pay a painful price, but Yang Kai pretended not to hear him.
However, after Young Master Hai shouted for a while, someone from Great Battle Heaven came over and whipped him through the cell door, causing him to cry out in pain, not daring to make another sound.
The man put away his whip and coldly glanced at Young Master Hai before letting out a light snort. Turning his head to look around, he walked straight to Yang Kai’s cell, opened the door, and said, “Get out here, Sir Punisher wants to question you.”
Yang Kai looked up at him and slowly walked out of the cell.
“Big Brother Yang…” Luo Haiyi nervously looked at him through the door.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, indicating for her to calm down.
After leaving the dungeon with that Great Battle Heaven disciple, they arrived at a large hall and saw the so-called Sir Punisher, a middle-aged man with a cold expression.
Sitting behind a table, he folded his hands into his sleeves.
Yang Kai stepped forward and bowed, exchanging greetings.
He didn’t ask anything else, only asking about the cause and effect of this conflict. He didn’t try to exaggerate anything.
After asking this question, the Punisher ask someone to take Yang Kai away, and the next person to be summoned was Luo Haiyi. Luo Haiyi didn’t know what she would encounter on this trip, so she looked at Yang Kai with a questioning gaze and he sent her a sound transmission, “Speak as you see fit.”
Luo Haiyi nodded silently.
At the same time, in the First Inn, in the Inner Court, there was an urgent knock on the door.
When the door opened, the Proprietress frowned at Old Bai and Chef who were standing in front of her, “What are you so flustered about?”
Old Bai’s expression became solemn as he said, “Yang Kai was captured by someone from Great Battle Heaven.”
The Proprietress's expression changed, “When did this happen?”
“Just now! Chef saw it when he went out.”
Chef nodded vigorously, “I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Did you see it clearly?” The Proprietress asked.
Chef said, “He wasn’t the only one who was caught, the woman who came to report last time was also caught, and there are other three who I don’t know, I don’t know what happened.”
