Chapter 953: A Lion’s Greedy Maw, Extortion

“What happened here?” Commander Qin Han asked, scanning everyone present.

A distress signal from Squad 193 had just been received inside Nantian Gate.

It claimed that members of Squad 91 had come here to stir up trouble and start a fight…

They needed an emergency rescue!

Since Squad 91 was involved, Commander Qin Han had personally led a group here.

Qin Han knew better than anyone who the current captain of Squad 91 was.

When Qin Han and the others saw the mangled, tortured corpse on the ground…

Everyone was stunned; from the aura of the corpse, they could sense the residual energy of the captain of the 193rd Barracks.

The man was already dead.

According to the regulations of the Nantian Gate military camp,

killing one's own comrades was a capital offense…

Even if the killer was Xiao Fan, someone highly regarded by City Lord Chen Xiong.

Without a valid reason, he would certainly face severe punishment.

“What is going on here?” Qin Han asked once more, his expression turning grim.

The soldiers of Squad 193 were all dumbfounded.

They wanted to speak up, but they didn't dare to do so at all.

Their captain had just been killed…

Wouldn't speaking out be a death wish?

“I killed him,”

Xiao Fan said, stepping forward to face Commander Qin Han.

“Why did you kill him?” Qin Han asked coldly.

He did think highly of Xiao Fan.

However, someone who killed their fellow soldiers so casually and showed such disregard for the law…

would be difficult to trust with a position of importance.

“Because he stole my belongings… so I killed him. It’s as simple as that,” Xiao Fan said flatly.

“Stole your things? What exactly did he steal?”

Qin Han asked, looking at Xiao Fan with suspicion.

He thought to himself, one was from Squad 193 and the other from Squad 91.

Their respective barracks were so far apart…

How could the two of them have even crossed paths?

How could he have gone to Squad 91 to steal from you?

“He stole the items I gave to my follower…”

Xiao Fan looked at Commander Qin Han and said calmly, “I previously left some of my items with my follower for safekeeping. But when I came to collect them today, I learned from my follower that those items had been forcibly seized by the captain of the 193rd Barracks. When I asked him for their return, he refused and even insulted me. That is why I took action.”

“Are your words true?”

“Of course,” Xiao Fan said. He then turned to the soldiers of the 193rd Barracks and asked, “Is there anything wrong with what I’ve said?”

“This…” The soldiers of Squad 193 were at a loss. With the question pushed onto them, how were they supposed to answer?

Their captain was dead; the only other witness was gone.

And even if he were alive, would they dare to offend The Terror?

Of course not.

Qin Han and the others followed Xiao Fan's gaze.

“Did you all… participate in divvying up my property?” Xiao Fan asked coldly once more.

“This…”

The soldiers of the 193rd Barracks trembled in fear.

Qin Han took in the entire scene.

At that moment, he believed that what Xiao Fan said was true.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't be reacting this way.

“I’ll give you one chance. Hand over my things… otherwise… Heh heh heh…” Xiao Fan chuckled coldly, a chilling frost erupting from his eyes.

He didn't care in the slightest that Commander Qin Han was present.

He issued a direct threat.

If the captain of the 193rd Barracks were still alive,

these soldiers might have thought he was just bluffing…

since Lord Qin Han was there, after all.

But now, they didn't dare take that chance.

The Terror standing before them had just killed their captain.

Moreover, Wei Zhongshan had just finished a round of ruthless and cruel torture.

The sight of it had left them terrified.

“I—I’ll hand it over…”

“Me too… The captain gave these to me; it has nothing to do with me!”

“Same here… the captain only gave me a tiny amount, just a little bit…”

“…”

The soldiers of Squad 193 immediately opened their Storage Pouches and pulled out everything they had previously divvied up.

They had completely lost their nerve.

Faced with the threats of The Terror, it would be a lie to say they weren't terrified.

Seeing this, Commander Qin Han breathed a small sigh of relief.

Then, he glanced at Wei Zhongshan.

Knowing that this man was Xiao Fan's companion, he immediately understood what was going on.

He understood the rules of the military camp better than anyone.

He guessed that Wei Zhongshan had arrived and ended up being 'disciplined' by the men of Squad 193.

They had then stolen his Storage Pouch, and since Xiao Fan happened to come by today, he had immediately taken action!

It had to be said that the facts were essentially consistent with Qin Han’s guess.

Xiao Fan glanced at the Heaven And Earth Treasures and the massive pile of Spirit Stones these people had produced.

These were the items they had stolen from Wei Zhongshan’s Storage Pouch.

Xiao Fan looked at Wei Zhongshan and said, “Look carefully. Is anything missing? If there is, remember to ask them for it.”

“Understood, Big Brother…”

Wei Zhongshan immediately complied; he naturally understood what his big brother meant!

Now that Commander Qin Han was here, it was certainly impossible to kill these people.

However, he could certainly extort a batch of resources first.

“It's missing… My Storage Pouch is missing one billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones… as well as fifty thousand Golden Spirit Fruits and five hundred Earth Rank Magical Artifacts…”

Wei Zhongshan was truly opening a lion's greedy maw…

Even Xiao Fan sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard that.

Good grief.

I wanted you to fleece them,

but your appetite is a bit too large, isn't it?

Even Commander Qin Han, hovering in the air, couldn't help but feel his face twitch.

One billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones?!!

Are you insane?!

Even City Lord Chen Xiong doesn't possess such a massive net worth!

“Big Brother Guyue—no, Lord Guyue… how could you possibly have one billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones?!!”
