A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 251: Turning against guests

Su Haijun smiled faintly and said, "So it's Mr. Charlie and Mr. Joben. What, did you also come here because of the two strange phenomena?"

Charlie nodded and said, "That's right."

Su Haijun sighed softly and said, "It's a pity we're too late; the strange phenomenon has already disappeared."

Charlie and the others naturally knew that the strange phenomenon had suddenly disappeared, and they felt a pang of regret. Charlie said, "It's truly a great pity that we didn't get to witness such a heaven-defying event. By the way, Mr. Su, in your opinion, how did the commotion just now occur?"

Upon hearing this, Su Haijun smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Charlie, you should know more about this than I do! If I'm not mistaken, there should be someone using something to summon something not far ahead. Only magicians like you can use such a summoning spell."

Charlie laughed and said, "That's right, indeed."

Su Haijun smiled slightly, then strode forward.

Charlie was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips as he asked, "Where are you headed, Mr. Su?"

Su Haijun laughed and said, "Since there's nothing to see, of course we should go back to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Charlie and the others exchanged glances and then turned back. Even many of the reclusive cultivators who had come to join the fun turned and left after the four divine beasts, including the Azure Dragon, departed.

These people all missed out on the excitement and made a wasted trip.

Jinqiao Villa, first floor lobby.

Lily and everyone else, whether sitting or standing, all had solemn expressions and tense demeanor. Even Baiyu, who was usually mischievous, was frowning at this moment.

"Sister Baihe, do you think Bufan will be in trouble?" Qianqian asked, her voice trembling with tears.

Baihe frowned slightly and said, "Qianqian, we should trust the young master."

Bai Yu suddenly looked up and said, "Big sister, should we go help brother-in-law?"

Fangfang said, "Yes, more people means more strength."

Lily's tightly furrowed brows twitched, and then she said, "How about this, you all stay here, I'll go help the young master."

Bai Ling said, "Sister, I want to go too."

Bai Yu stood up and said, "I'll go too."

"I'll go as well."

The others chimed in, but Lily shook her head slightly and said, "No need, I can go by myself. You all stay here."

Bai Ling said, "Sister, you and I have the highest cultivation levels here, let me go too!"

Lily immediately refused, saying, "No, it's too dangerous. None of you should argue anymore, I'll go alone."

Qianqian stepped forward and took Baihe's hand, saying, "Sister Baihe, you have to be careful!"

Lily nodded and smiled, saying, "Don't worry! I know."

Meanwhile, at Commander Ruan's garrison camp, most of the soldiers were already fast asleep.

Inside Qinglong and the others' tent, who had been waiting all night for William's good news, they were all taken aback when they saw William run back in a disheveled state. Qinglong was secretly delighted and asked, "William, did you complete the mission?"

William picked up a glass of water and took a big gulp, then said, "Don't even mention it. We could have wiped them all out in one fell swoop, but who knew... sigh, what a mess!"

Qinglong asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

William hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you know who I ran into?"

"Who?"

"Falcon".

"Falcon...what? Falcon?" Qinglong exclaimed in surprise, "The Falcon of the HX Divine Dragon Team?"

William didn't reveal the existence of the four guardians of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, or the four guardian beasts of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. After all, no one would believe him if he did, so he didn't bother to waste his breath and simply nodded, saying, "That's right, it's him."

Now, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise could no longer remain calm. The White Tiger cried out in panic, "Brother Azure Dragon, didn't you say the Falcon was dead? How come..."

Qinglong gave a wry smile, then said, "William, are you sure you really saw Falcon?"

William said, "It's absolutely true. I've even fought him before. He's not the same person he used to be; he's incredibly powerful now. Chief Qinglong, my men will hold him off. However, I think the four of you should leave here as soon as possible."

"Leave? Where to?"

An extraordinary voice rang out from outside the tent, and before the voice had even faded, the person was already standing in front of the five people with his hands behind his back.

The four gang leaders, including Qinglong and Baihu, naturally didn't recognize Falcon since they had never met him before. William, however, frowned and said coldly, "Falcon, I didn't expect you to find me even in this situation."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "If you can't even find this place when you're out here, what's the point of being a gangster!"

Upon hearing that the young man before them was Falcon from the Divine Dragon Team, Qinglong and the others' expressions changed drastically. William sneered and said, "So what do you want?"

Chao Bufan smiled faintly, then sized up Qinglong and the others. However, no matter whose face Chao Bufan's gaze fell on, that person would immediately look away, deliberately avoiding his eyes. No one dared to look directly at Chao Bufan. Chao Bufan took it all in and smiled, "You are Qinglong, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglong stammered, "Yes...so what?"

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Then the three of you will be the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall, the Sect Master of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the Sect Leader of the Black Tortoise Sect."

Baihu and the other two did not answer, not because they did not want to, but because they dared not.

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said with deep emotion, "Do you know the purpose of my visit?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglong's eyes widened suddenly, and his hand involuntarily went to his waist. He said, "Falcon, as long as you don't kill us, I'll give you whatever money you want."

Baihu chimed in, "Yes, yes, as long as you release us, we'll give you whatever money you want."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan pretended to be deep in thought, and after a moment said, "Really?"

Qinglong and the others thought that Chao Bufan was interested, so they nodded hurriedly and said, "Really, really, name your price, we'll pay whatever it is."

Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said, "Is that so? Alright then, each of you four will have 5 billion, not a penny less. If you can come up with that, I'll let you go."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong and the others' expressions changed visibly, becoming quite grim. Chao Bufan sat down at the table and said, "Don't tell me you can't come up with the money. As the leaders of the four major gangs in HX, if you can't even come up with this much money, what kind of men are you? Besides, I think it's quite a bargain to buy your lives with 5 billion."

The four men, including Qinglong, exchanged glances. Then, Qinglong said, "Alright, fifty billion it is. I'll give it to you."

"I give."

"I give."

"I'll give it to you too."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "That's right! Here, this is my bank card. You guys hurry up and transfer the money in so I can leave."
