Chapter 114 Cleaning Up (1)
Back in the town, in the village chief\'s house.
All the men that the village chief had brought earlier were convened here along with some "fiercer" looking men.
One could tell with a single glance that these people were not good people, but then it was made even worse when they spoke.
"Did you see the girls that came in today? I can\'t wait to have my turn with them!"
"Ha, ha, haven\'t you already had enough with the girls you already have? You think that someone like you could ever get top quality goods like that?"
"Well, I don\'t have to get them right away. Once they get broken in, I\'m free to use them, aren\'t I? Not to mention that those girls look way better than these rural hicks."
"Ze, ze, you can\'t say that. Haven\'t you seen the Duanmu girls?"
"The Duanmu girls…You\'re right about that, but too bad that the mother still won\'t break…"
"Shh, don\'t mention that. The boss is still sore about that."
After this was said, the men couldn\'t help turning in the direction of a dark corner in the hall. At the same time, the village chief glared at these men who had been talking before coming over to this dark corner and saying, "Boss, don\'t mind them. We\'ve already prepared everything for when the mercenaries return."
The man who had been sitting in the corner on a throne gave a cold snort before waving his hand for the village chief to come closer.
The village chief clearly looked like he didn\'t want to approach, but he had no other choice. He tentatively came forward and asked, "Boss, is there something you need?"
The man in the throne said in a calm voice, "Bring me some of the poison that you\'re planning to use on the mercenaries. I want to see how strong it is."
The village chief was confused when he heard this, but he still agreed and then went off to get the poison.
When he came back, the man in the throne took the poison and looked it over a few times. The poison that had been brought over was a bottle that had some powder in it. This powder didn\'t seem that special at all.
After turning it around and looking at it a few times, he got bored of this bottle of poison.
The village chief saw this and was about to come forward to take the bottle of poison from him, but the boss raised his hand to stop him. The boss turned to the two men who had been talking earlier and said, "You two, come here."
As soon as the boss\' voice rang out through the room, everyone suddenly fell silent before turning their gazes to the two men.
Both of them had uneasy looks on their faces, but they didn\'t dare disobey the boss, so they slowly came over.
After they were standing in front of the boss, one of them asked in a nervous voice, "Boss, what is it?"
The boss just casually threw the bottle of poison at them and said, "Take this back for me."
The two men quickly went to catch the bottle which was easy since the boss had only casually tossed it. It slowly created an arc in the air before gently landing in their hands.
Everyone was tense as they watched this, preparing to move back if the bottle of poison had dropped. However, when the two men safely caught it, they couldn\'t help letting out a sigh of relief.
It seemed like the boss was just putting on a show of dominance…At least they wouldn\'t be caught in the danger.
After they caught it, the two stood there in a daze for a second before quickly saying, "Yes, boss!"
Then without any hesitation, they turned to leave.
But as soon as they turned around, the man in the throne suddenly stood up with a knife in hand and he used to slash out.
The knife created a tiny arc in the air since it was a tiny knife, but that arc made sure that the knife clipped the two men that were leaving.
The two men were shocked when they felt the pain of being cut, but they turned around in shock to find that it was just a small cut on their arms.
They were confused why it was just a small cut.
Could it be that the boss had missed?
No, with their boss\' skill it was impossible to miss.
Then they thought that it was just another small punishment from the boss. After this thought appeared in their mind, it became the main theory since this was the only thing that could make sense.
The two looked at each other before turning back to the boss and saying, "Thank you for spa…"
Before they could finish, the two of them suddenly dropped to the ground. It was almost as if they were puppets that had their strings cut as they fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked to find that their eyes had rolled back and they were frothing at the mouth. At the same time, when they looked closely, they found that there were purple lines that were climbing up their necks.
It was clear that the two of them had been poisoned!
The boss looked at the knife in his hand and gave a nod before saying, "Not bad, not bad, it seems quite effective."
The village chief had also been shocked when he saw this, but he was the first one to come back to his senses as he quickly said, "Yes, yes, boss, we only used the best poison that money could buy."
The boss just casually tossed the knife on the two corpses in front of him.
When he did, everyone couldn\'t help taking a few steps back since they knew that the poison that was used was a powder. If it was scattered during this time and they accidentally inhaled it, it would be too late for them to regret it even if they wanted to feel regret.
The boss ignored them and turned to the village chief to ask, "What about the anesthesia? Are you sure that it will work on the girls that came with him?"
The village chief quickly said, "We also bought the best one that we can get. It came from the Poison Sect disciple that we had dealings with before. He guaranteed that we could knock out anyone under the Foundation Realm with it."
The boss finally revealed a fierce smile before saying, "Good, good, I can\'t wait until I get a taste of those two girls." A lewd look appeared on his face before he continued, "Those two really aren\'t goods that you can get every day."
But he also turned in a certain direction as his eyes turned cold again, "That Duanmu Ming Yue, if she still can\'t think it through, then she can just die. Anyway, there\'s still her daughter left."
The village chief nodded quickly before quickly having someone deal with the corpses.
…
Back in the forest, Lin Fan who had seen and heard all of this because of the mosquito puppet that he had sent had a cold look on his face.
With this, there was no longer a need for him to hesitate when it came to dealing with this village.
But after thinking about it, he slowly calmed down.
He couldn\'t blame the entire village on the actions of a single group. After all, there were still plenty of people who weren\'t at the meeting.
Among these people might just be innocent people who had been caught up in this mess. After all, this was a normal village, so it wasn\'t as if these people could resist when these bandits showed up.
There was also the chance that there were people who had joined the bandits from the village, such as the village chief. So before he did anything, there was the need to check through the people of the village to see who he would save and who he wouldn\'t.
So with this thought in mind, Lin Fan turned to the two girls and said, "Let\'s go back to the village."
The two girls were confused since they weren\'t able to see what Lin Fan had seen, so they didn\'t know what was happening. But after taking a look and seeing the cold look on Lin Fan\'s face, they followed him without a word.
Lin Fan explained his plan to the two of them along the way, as well as telling them what he had just seen in the meeting.
The two girls immediately revealed cold looks when they heard this and their mentality quickly changed as they prepared to fight these men.
Once they were back at the town, Lin Fan asked Greeny about the task that he had given it.
Greeny placed its vine hand on the map and started pointing out different places.
This was a map that Lin Fan had drawn along the way based on the information that he had gotten from Greeny\'s puppets. He had used the information to draw a complete map of the entire village from above.
The points that Greeny had just pointed out were the houses of the people who were being forced to stay in this village by these men.
It had been able to tell them apart because of the difference in possessions and how the men that were related to the village chief treated them.
It was clear that they were being forced to stay in this village either as labour or for something else…
Since that was the case, Lin Fan had no reason to treat these people the same way as the village chief\'s group.
So the plan was to rescue them while taking these people down.
