He was different from Qin Xiran; he didn’t hear what Fang Yuxin had said before, nor did he care about the Qin Family as much as Qin Xiran did, so naturally he didn’t immediately think that Fang Yuxin was sent by someone else to provoke them.
After sizing up Fang Yuxin, he decided there was nothing to worry about with this person and waved to his men, ordering, "Arrest this audacious woman! If she resists, kill her on the spot!"
In Beishi Base, killing wasn’t allowed, but this rule wasn’t without exceptions. Qu Qianlin had long considered that both the Qu Family and Qin Family were now part of the Thunder Mercenary Corps; even if Fang Yuxin were killed, he was confident he could shirk responsibility. Even if the Qiankun Mercenary Group wanted to make an issue of it, Yiming probably wouldn’t agree!
So he gave the order directly, disregarding everyone else.
Fang Yuyang and Bai Ye had originally been standing by. Since Qin Xiran was a woman and Fang Yuxin could handle things, the two men naturally found it inappropriate to intervene. But as soon as Qu Qianlin issued the command, their expressions turned cold, and they stepped forward, glaring icily at Qu Qianlin and the twenty-plus people he brought along.
Bai Ye sneered, "Let’s see who dares come over!"
Fang Yuyang also said, "Relying on numbers to bully others, the Qu Family really is getting more and more audacious!"
Hearing this, Qu Qianlin and Qin Xiran were nearly spitting blood. Clearly, they were the ones being bullied, yet the three people turned the tables on them, making it sound like they were the unreasonable ones!
Qu Qianlin was already dissatisfied, but what frustrated him more was that even after he gave the order, his twenty-plus subordinates didn’t move! He glared at them in annoyance, roaring, "Are you all deaf? Didn’t you hear what I just said? Start moving!"
However, while he was impulsive, those twenty-plus second-level superpower users were not reckless. Any superpower user who survived from the apocalypse until now was either like Qu Qianlin and Qin Xiran, relying on family protection, or had trudged over the brink of death step by step.
They might have been reckless in the past, but surviving this far into the apocalypse proved their caution and vigilance. Seeing Qin Xiran beaten to the point of being unable to rise while the other side was just three people, all of whom were second-level superpower users acting arrogantly, suspicions of a conspiracy began to form in their minds.
Even though they hadn’t seen the previous scene, they arrived at the same conclusion as Qin Xiran, thinking this was a ploy against the Qin and Qu families, or perhaps even the entire Thunder Mercenary Corps!
As Qu Qianlin said this, he suddenly felt this was a good plan. Currently, the Thunder Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group appeared to coexist peacefully on the surface, but in reality, there was no small amount of friction, just a step away from tearing each other’s faces off!
If he captured these three troublemakers now, he could take them back, and with Yiming’s methods, they could better leverage this situation to trouble the Qiankun Mercenary Group! If that happened, his merit would be considerable! Though the Qu and Qin Families had pledged allegiance to Yiming, their situation had significantly declined. Most of their power had been dismantled and infiltrated by Yiming, leaving only the most core forces.
If things continued like this, both families would eventually come to an end!
So, this just might be his opportunity!
As Qu Qianlin thought of this, he became more determined to capture Fang Yuxin and the others, showing them what he was made of. So, he waved his hand and said, "Stop thinking about it, follow my lead, and capture these three troublemakers!"
Those superpower users had no desire to engage in a fight, but with Qu Qianlin’s eyes staring them down, it would be inappropriate to simply do nothing. However, just as these people hesitated and prepared to make a move, another voice rang out, "Who dares to cause trouble here!" (To be continued.
