"Stop!"

As Zheng-Fu was about to continue enjoying the market, the tiny man with a big scar on his forehead shouted for him to stop. So, Zheng-Fu turned back to him and said…

"What!? What do you want from us!?" Zheng-Fu started to get annoyed by the tiny bad man…

"You can't go anywhere! You killed the soldiers of the owner of the city! You must be punished!" The tiny man bluntly commanded Zheng-Fu to stop, even though he did not know if Zheng-Fu was the one who killed his men. He wanted to use his power to get De-Na-Lan…

"Killing the soldiers of the owner of the city!? Tsk! Don't amuse me with that! Can you prove that I killed those men? I was standing still and didn't make any moves. How could I kill your men?

My guess is that they all just dropped dead because they could not stand doing horrible things any longer."

"You!"

Zheng-Fu's response made the tiny man with a scar on his forehead angry tremendously. However, the villagers and merchants felt the opposite. They were satisfied with how Zheng-Fu talked to the tiny bad man…

"But… How about a boss like you? Don't you just want to drop dead because of your bad conduct? Tsk!"

Thud!

"Ouch!"

Zheng-Fu's harsh tone of voice at the end of his sentence caused the tiny bad man to trip over the log behind him. As a result, the man fell hard on the ground…

"Oops!"

The incident made the crowd feel like they wanted to laugh out loud, but they had to cover their mouths because they did not want to have any trouble with the tiny bad man. As for him, seeing the gestures of the crowd made him even angrier. He cursed Zheng-Fu for making him look like a fool in front of everybody…

"Great! If you refuse to do accordingly, then your punishment is death. Just watch out! You won't be able to leave this city unless you kill yourself and hand me that woman." The tiny man with a scar on his forehead continued to abuse the power of the city's owner. But then…

Grab!

"That's enough! Let's get back!" A baritone, horrifying voice appeared from behind the tiny bad man. The owner of the voice grabbed the tiny man's shoulder to stop him from saying anything further. Then the tiny man turned to look at the owner of the voice and was startled. He said…

"Boss!"

The muscular man did not pay attention to the tiny bad man and walked forward a few steps. He then cupped his fists and said, "Please don't pay attention to my man. He lacks manners because he's been hurtful. That is the reason he behaves badly. Please forgive him, Master."

The action of the muscular man confused the tiny bad man so much that he gasped greatly. He did not understand why his boss acted that way. The tiny bad man was not the only one who was shocked by the action. Everyone in the area was so…

"But, boss!"

"Stop it! Why don't you apologize for your bad behavior? Or do you want me to punish you?"

"Um!"

The tiny bad man had to stop what he was about to say. His face turned pale after hearing his boss's harsh voice. Then he looked down and turned to Zheng-Fu to say sorry to him…

"Well, since it was a misunderstanding, then we'll have to excuse ourselves." Zheng-Fu did not want to stay and chat, so he wanted to go…

"Wait a minute, Master!" As Zheng-Fu was about to leave, the muscular man stopped him from doing so…

"Yeah?"

"Please don't be mad at me. I just want to ask you something," the muscular man said while cupping his fists to show his politeness toward Zheng-Fu…

"Ask me about what?"

"I would like to invite you to a dinner at my estate to apologize to you. Would you like to…"

"I'm sorry, but we have many things to take care of. We won't be available for a dinner party. Please excuse us!"

The muscular man started to feel unconfident when Zheng-Fu refused to attend the dinner. The reason why he invited Zheng-Fu to his estate was that he wanted to know how strong Zheng-Fu really was. Besides, if Zheng-Fu went to his estate, then he would have Zheng-Fu surrounded by his troops…

*When will the Master get here? Why are those darn men so slow!?*

The muscular man thought that if Zheng-Fu did not want to go to his estate, then he would have to stall him until his Master got to the scene. When that happened, Zheng-Fu would not be able to get away from him…

"In that case, would you please tell me where you're staying? I want to send an apology gift to you." The muscular man continued to install Zheng-Fu…

*Tsk! Trying to stall me? Fine! I want to see what else they're going to do.*

"We're just wandering merchants, so we don't have any permanent place for us. Besides, we're not that important to anyone, so you don't have to send us any gifts. And we're in a hurry at the moment because we plan to leave the city today."

"Master Fu-Zheng?"

De-Na-Lan was startled by Zheng-Fu's words about leaving the city today. She did not know what was going on and was still in shock at the sight of human flesh and blood on the ground in front of her. She was close to vomiting but had to withhold it. And she was curious about why Zheng-Fu had to say that…

"Leave the city today!?"

The muscular man's facial expression changed when he heard Zheng-Fu's explanation. He completely forgot about Zheng-Fu's arrival and departure dates. He did not even check where Zheng-Fu and De-Na-Lan were from. His men wanted to show the woman to him, so he followed them to the market. And now things had turned into a big mess. It made him think about the mistake that he had made…

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

All of a sudden, chaotic noises occurred again. When everyone turned to look in the direction of the noises, they saw a big troop coming their way. They all looked at the young, well-dressed man, who looked like a pervert on a horse, in the center of the troop, yelling for the people to get out of his way…

"Master!" the muscular man exclaimed with a cunning smile. He was delighted that what he had been waiting for had just arrived…

*So, he stalled us because he was waiting for his Master.*

Zheng-Fu finally saw why the muscular man wanted to stall him. He started to detect the energy levels of the troop, the Master, and the muscular man. He then let out a smile after he knew their energy levels…

Zheng-Fu could sense that their energy levels were not that high or any different from the ten mercenaries that he had just killed. The men who were hired to attack Xuan-Ji's clothes shop were even stronger than these men…

"Where are they? Where are the people who killed my soldiers?" The perverted-looking young man shouted with arrogance when he got to the scene. He looked around the place before stopping at Na-Lan, who was next to Zheng-Fu…

"Whoa! Young lady! You're so sweetly beautiful. Come! Be my wife! I'll make sure you'll never feel lonely again." The perverted-looking young man's tone of voice changed after he saw De-Na-Lan.

His voice now was full of lust, which sounded very disgusting to everyone who heard it…

"That couple is not going to make it. The perverted Master is here by himself. Sigh! That poor young girl."

The villagers and merchants started to chat quietly about the fate of Zheng-Fu and De-Na-Lan. They shook their heads at their unfortunate futures and felt for them…

"Tsk! In your dream! I'd rather be a poor man's wife rather than yours." De-Na-Lan could not stand the words of the perverted-looking Master, so she shouted at him with the utmost anger…

"You! How dare you compare me with a poor man!?" The perverted-looking man was completely furious the minute he heard De-Na-Lan's demeaning words…

"I did not! It's up to how you want to interpret it. But I mean what I said. Every word of it!" De-Na-Lan said with pride…

"How dare you, unruly woman!? Guards! Kill the man! Take off the woman's clothes and tie her up at the pole in front of the city!"

"Yes, sir!"

The order from the perverted-looking young man stunned everyone in the area. It was utterly outrageous, but no one dared to go against him…

As soon as the order had been issued, some twenty soldiers rushed toward Zheng-Fu and De-Na-Lan immediately. The muscular man stayed put at this point. He wanted to see what would happen to those twenty soldiers because he was not sure if the man in the straw hat had killed his men earlier…

Grab!

De-Na-Lan's face turned pale when she saw the twenty soldiers approaching her and Zheng-Fu. She forgot that she was in a bad situation when she talked back to the perverted-looking man. So, she grabbed Zheng-Fu's arm and wanted to say something to him. However, Zheng-Fu stopped her and said…

"Don't worry! Everything will be over soon." Zheng-Fu assured De-Na-Lan in a calm voice, as usual. De-Na-Lan felt at peace when she heard that…

"Alright!"

Stab!

As the twenty soldiers were about to reach the two, the sound of flesh being slashed occurred. Then the bodies of the twenty soldiers split in half without them realizing it…

Thud!

The top parts of the bodies fell on the ground while the bottom parts still stood upright, then started to fall over. Blood started to fill the place. The muscular man, who witnessed everything from afar, felt cold instantly…

That was because the muscular man was injured by the move too. His stomach got slightly cut by some kind of energy that was sharp and quick. He knew that the energy was being projected from Zheng-Fu. The muscular man did not feel anything earlier because he was too far from the scene. When he was this close to Zheng-Fu this time, he realized Zheng-Fu was the real deal…

The perverted-looking young man on the horse did not feel any different from the muscular man when he saw the sudden deaths of his twenty soldiers. The deaths were completely terrifying too. His forehead was now filled with cold sweat, and he could not stop his lips from trembling…

"What happened!? What did he do to my soldiers? How did he do it?" The perverted-looking young man shouted in a loose tone of voice. He wanted the answer, but no one could give it to him because everybody was in extreme shock…

"Let's go, lady! You must be very tired." Zheng-Fu did not pay attention to the perverted-looking young man. He turned to talk to De-Na-Lan in a soft voice. Then he prepared to take off with her…

"Stop! Who said that you can leave!?" The perverted-looking young man stopped Zheng-Fu when he saw Zheng-Fu was about to leave the scene. He did not sound as brave as before, though…

"What…?"

Zheng-Fu turned back to the perverted-looking young man. He let out some air before saying…

"What are you going to do if I leave?"

"You!"
