Monarch Night
Chapter 658 - 158: Monstrous Crimes [Ten Thousand Words]
That night.
The Starlight Master visited the Worldwide Escort Agency once again.
A day and night had passed, and the 174 newcomers were almost unrecognizable, nearly driven to insanity, and every single one of them had noticeably lost weight.
When they were driven to the hall to pay their respects, Fang Che almost didn’t recognize them.
Where did this group of refugees come from?
Though their clothes weren’t in rags, each face was deathly pale, and their frightened eyes wandered incessantly, with some even muttering neurotically.
Upon closer listening, they were actually reciting the Law Codes.
"Greetings, Chief!"
Zheng Yunqi and the others saluted in unison.
"The new apprentice escorts have been brought here, awaiting the Chief’s instructions."
Zhao Wushang shouted loudly, "Kneel and pay your respects to the Chief!"
The Yixin Sect members all fell to their knees: "Greetings, Chief."
"Rise."
The Starlight Master wore a look of cold aloofness.
Then he stood up, positioned before the throne, appearing as grand and imposing as a pillar supporting the heavens: "Before you came, I requested the Sect Hierarch to ensure you were properly trained, but witnessing you today, I am very disappointed!"
"You’ve not met any of the requirements!"
"Look at you, faces full of arrogance, bodies brimming with ferocity, eyes gleaming with the intent to kill and plunder!"
The Starlight Master bellowed in anger, "Are you here to be bandits or escorts? What with this aura of mercenary demons, what’s the point?"
The over hundred individuals below lowered their heads and listened, not daring to refute.
In their hearts, they lamented endlessly: Weren’t we said to come here and enjoy prosperity? Is this prosperity?
Besides, we didn’t want to have a killing aura either, but in our Yixin Sect, who doesn’t have thick flesh and a murderous aura on them?
"I don’t care what method you use, but within three days, this aura must be eliminated, and those fierce looks must be eradicated. Keep smiling! Here we serve with a smile! Understand?"
The Starlight Master sternly commanded.
Below, a Marquis couldn’t resist saying, "Chief, this, this...is rather demanding, given what kind of people we are, you know..."
"Demanding?"
The Starlight Master smiled faintly, "Are you the only one who thinks so? Anyone else?"
After a silent breath, another thirteen gradually stood up: "Chief, we feel..."
"Anyone else feel this way?"
The Starlight Master sighed and asked again.
No one made a sound.
The fourteen who stood exchanged glances, inwardly cursing, as those who had sworn to advance and retreat together now dared not stand forth.
"Very well."
The Starlight Master said calmly, "Since you fourteen feel that my demands are overbearing, we can sort it out."
Amidst everyone’s horrified stares.
With a clanging sound!
The long-unseen Nine-Ring Great Saber of the Starlight Master was unsheathed, its cold gleam flashing, casting thousands of sharp Sword Energies down.
Only a few short cries of agony.
The fourteen had turned into fourteen piles of minced meat.
The entire hall instantly transformed into a scene from hell.
The stench of blood rose explosively.
Everyone’s faces were splattered with fresh blood, yet no one dared move. The remaining 160 shivered all over, teeth chattering, heads bowed, not daring to even move their eyeballs!
A few female demons felt only a warmth below, dampening uncontrollably, yet still dared not move.
Nobody expected this famed Starlight Master to be so ruthless.
Just over a single sentence!
Fourteen experts had just become pulp!
This kind of means left all 160 demons feeling chills in their hearts.
Their brains were almost frozen.
Even Zheng Yunqi and the others didn’t foresee this; each was equally shocked.
During this time, having grown accustomed to the Squad Leader and gaining some rapport, extreme measures were seldom used by the leader. But today’s scene brought a sudden chill to everyone’s hearts.
The Leader was still indeed the decisive, ruthlessly extreme Starlight Master!
Each couldn’t help but stand straighter, reminding themselves continually: Stay grounded!
Under no circumstances float away!
The Starlight Master sheathed the Nine-Ring Saber with a clang, his fierce eyes sweeping over the faces of the 160 remaining individuals, saying calmly, "Does anyone else think my demands are too much!?"
No one spoke up.
Everyone was trembling. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Remember, my requirements: within three days, no killing aura lingering, no fierce looks on faces. Be kind, be good citizens, obey the law, and live in harmony with others."
"You must smile, smile kindly and amiably, smile harmlessly."
"Additionally, memorize the Law Codes, continent geography, escort routes, all disciplines...all of it fluently."
"For those who cannot comply, I’ll personally escort them on their way!"
The Starlight Master finished these words slowly, then suddenly roared thunderously: "Did you hear me!?"
"Heard!"
The 160 trembled, involuntarily straightening their bodies, loudly responding.
The Starlight Master cast a menacing glance at Zheng Yunqi and the others, saying calmly, "Is this how you’ve been teaching them? What have you taught!"
"Subordinates acknowledge our guilt!"
Zheng Yunqi and others knelt in unison, kneeling without hesitation in the pool of blood, placed a knee on the ground, and bowed deeply: "Please, Squad Leader, mete out punishment!"
"Can’t teach, can’t train, have you forgotten how to kill? Need me to teach you that?"
The Starlight Master asked sinisterly.
"I was wrong!" Zheng Yunqi dared not lift their head, repeatedly admitting fault.
