Chapter 92: A State Of Mutual Hostility

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Not many people were present at the entrance of the mercenary guild due to it being night-time.

However, there were surprisingly many people inside.

Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao had come at the wrong time.

The guild was suspended in a state of mutual hostility.

Lou Qianxue stopped in her tracks. She also stretched her hand and stopped Lou Xiaoxiao at the same time.

In front of her.

Tall ceramic glazed stone pillars supported the beams of the house at a great height. The whole building looked lofty and vast.

In this very building, two people in the middle were having a confrontation.

A handsome looking man in the middle stepped on an emaciated youth’s body.

“You dare to stop my mission. You don’t want your life?”

Behind the handsome man was a group who was similarly dressed in robes embroidered with a fierce tiger.

These people also clamored.

“That’s right. Our boss had already prepared the herbs that Miss Miaoyan wanted. He had even planned to personally send her the herbs!”

“But you, you took the opportunity to give the herbs to Miss Miaoyan while Boss was still preparing. Do you want to provoke our boss? Or do you want to snatch Miss Miaoyan from him?”

The youth on the floor looked pale and had blood stains over his body. He coughed a mouthful of blood and said, “I, I saw that the mission was not completed and wanted to earn taels to treat my sister’s illness. I didn’t, didn’t expect to provoke Boss Lei Hu... I am sorry... I didn’t do it on purpose... ”

“Shut up! Is there a point in saying sorry now? Could saying sorry allow me to see Miss Miaoyan?”

“Exactly! How much is your sorry worth?”

“Brat, I think you are seeking death! It will be strange if I don’t kill you today!”

“Lei Hu! Don’t you dare!” Another group stood behind the young man on the ground. As they looked at him getting beaten, they were slightly forbearing. It was only when Lei Hu revealed his intention to kill the young man, that this group spoke up.

“Although your Lei Hu mercenary group is very impressive, you can’t bully us, ‘Scatterers’, like this. Everyone has the right to complete a mission that has not been marked completed. It’s you yourselves who found the herbs late. What has it got to do with Xiao He? You all are already too much to bully him like this. Yet you still want to kill him? Lei Hu, let me tell you, we are putting up with it when you beat Xiao He. But if you dare to kill him, all of us brothers of ‘Scatterers’ will go all out and fight with you!”

When these words came out, many from that group started shouting.

“Go all out!”

“Go all out!”

The people from the Lei Hu mercenary group were also not to be provoked. Hearing these threatening words, they drew their weapons out one after another and went forward.

The atmosphere at the scene grew intense.

Lou Xiaoxiao’s scalp became numb as she watched it. She lowered her voice and explained it to Lou Qianxue. “The people of the mercenary group are mainly divided into two types. One type is the kind like the ‘Lei Hu mercenary group’, which is a group formed by a group of people. They carry out the mission together and collect the rewards together. The other type is those not part of any mercenary group. Such a person accepts the mission alone. Hence, they are called a ‘scatterer’.

“It looks like we have come at the wrong time tonight and happened to run into a confrontation between ‘scatterers’ and a powerful mercenary group. Why don’t we go back first and wait until tomorrow before coming again? Otherwise, it won’t be good if they fight and we get involved.”

However, Lou Qianxue shook her head. “They will not fight.”

“Why?”

Lou Qianxue smiled and did not explain. She then said, “Didn’t you want me to get an expert as a guard? If they fight, we also can take the chance to see which person is suitable to hire.”

Hiss!

Lou Xiaoxiao sighed. “My lady, the lowest cultivation of these people is at the fifth level of the spiritual realm. Many here have even broken through the spiritual realm and entered the Essence Martial realm. That ‘Lei Hu’ is even more unfathomable. People this strong are going to fight, and you still have the mood to watch and see who is more impressive?”

“Frankly speaking,” Lou Qianxue said casually, “I have my eyes on someone whom I want to hire. I am just afraid... ”
