Chapter 1069: Chapter 677: Unreasonable
"Liu... Boss, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far with this? Why didn’t you tell us about this before?" Just then, a young man in the crowd looked at Liu Hun and said through gritted teeth.
"If I had told you, would you have still consumed it? Besides, don’t forget the contract you just signed, the first clause is to obey all orders from above, even if it means death! What’s more, it’s not sending you to your death, just a precaution. If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?" Liu Hun chuckled lightly.
In the face of Liu Hun’s words, no one said anything further.
Yet in that instant, many people deeply regretted taking on such a tough job.
Many originally thought this task was just fooling around inside the Dragon Sect every day, not having to do anything at all, and even if they were given tasks from above, they didn’t have to exert themselves if they didn’t want to. But now, that notion seemed impractical, because Liu Hun’s implication was clear that their lives no longer belonged to themselves.
"Boss, there’s trouble outside." Just as Liu Hun was speaking, Wen Xiaodao suddenly walked in from outside and frowned at Liu Hun.
As for Wen Xiaodao’s sudden change in address, Liu Hun didn’t take it to heart; it was just a title anyway.
"What’s happened?" Liu Hun nodded at Wen Xiaodao and asked.
"Someone outside says a guy named Fan Xiaotian in our Dragon Sect caused his girlfriend’s death and he wants justice..." Wen Xiaodao said to Liu Hun with a somewhat troubled expression.
The Dragon Sect had just recruited so many people, and such an issue cropped up immediately. If word got out, wouldn’t that indirectly suggest they accept just anyone? Although Liu Hun didn’t really care about such jokes, since they were idle anyway, he didn’t mind checking out what was really going on.
"Who is Fan Xiaotian?" Liu Hun glanced over everyone in the room and asked calmly.
"Boss, I... I’m Fan Xiaotian..." Just after Liu Hun spoke, a young man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, slowly stepped out from the crowd and respectfully said to Liu Hun.
Yet as he spoke, his face showed hints of anger.
"Tell me, what’s this all about? How did someone end up at our doorstep?" Liu Hun looked at Fan Xiaotian in front of him, his calm face revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.
"I met Xiaowen three years ago, and our relationship has always been good. But this guy suddenly appeared and used his family’s power to coerce Xiaowen’s parents, ultimately forcing Xiaowen to agree to marry him. Later, I planned to elope with Xiaowen, but he killed my entire family. Eventually, Xiaowen was also taken by him and committed suicide before the big wedding. I barely managed to escape..." Fan Xiaotian recounted with a difficult expression to Liu Hun.
And this guy was one of those Innate Nine Layers experts, yet Liu Hun hadn’t expected such a talented individual to have such a tragic story.
But then again, if it weren’t for this tragic tale, Fan Xiaotian wouldn’t have ended up at their Dragon Sect.
"So it seems you came to the Dragon Sect just to lay low for a while." Liu Hun’s lips curled slightly, looking at Fan Xiaotian with a faint smile.
"Boss, I... I’m sorry. If you’re not satisfied, I can leave the Dragon Sect..." Fan Xiaotian said earnestly, biting his lip after Liu Hun exposed him with a single sentence.
Hearing Fan Xiaotian’s words, Liu Hun’s eyes showed even more amusement. This guy not only had powerful abilities, but his cultivation talent was excellent, and his character suited Liu Hun’s taste.
"After this is sorted out, every twenty people will form a team, and you’re the captain of the first team. You can choose the people yourself." After saying this, Liu Hun patted Fan Xiaotian’s shoulder and continued, "Don’t let me down, okay? I’m also called Xiaotian, and you’re called Xiaotian too. If you disappoint me, it’ll be letting me down, you know."
"Boss, I..." Fan Xiaotian never expected that after learning about his situation, Liu Hun wouldn’t blame him, but rather elevated his position.
As for the contracts and the liquor, Fan Xiaotian couldn’t care less, because his initial intention was merely to escape this guy’s pursuit. As long as he remains alive, one day he’d personally kill his enemy to avenge his parents and girlfriend.
"No need to hesitate, a real man should be straightforward. Don’t forget what I said at the beginning; here, you have to obey orders." Liu Hun gave Fan Xiaotian a slight smile.
Then Liu Hun looked at the others and shouted loudly, "What are you all standing around for? Pick up your weapons and come with me to fight them! Daring to bully people from the Dragon Sect, isn’t that like shaking a fist under your nose and lighting a lantern in the outhouse looking for trouble?"
After saying this, Liu Hun was the first to head towards the main gate, the hundred people behind him hesitated for a moment, but in the end, gritted their teeth and followed Liu Hun out.
Seeing this scene, Wen Xiaodao and Miao Yu were both taken aback, thinking what a joke it was. The opposing family was a huge clan. If they offended them so easily, the Dragon Sect would be doomed next.
Liu Hun brought his men outside and saw a young man of about twenty-five or six with several elders beside him, and these elders were not lacking in strength. This, Liu Hun could clearly feel.???
The young man looked at Liu Hun with a face full of disdain, but when he saw the hundred or so people behind Liu Hun, his eyes showed a hint of caution.
"Fan Xiaotian, no matter where you run, you can’t escape from the palm of my hand. I will definitely make you pay!" The young man gazed at Fan Xiaotian with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"You... it was you who killed Xiao Wen and not only killed my family but now won’t even let me go!" Fan Xiaotian was infuriated by what the young man said, but at this moment, facing him, he could only suppress his anger.
"When you speak or act, you need evidence. What proof do you have that it was me who killed your parents? Even if it’s just about this matter, I could sue you for slander, and even if I accidentally killed you, no one could do anything about it!" The young man said disdainfully to Fan Xiaotian.
Seeing Fan Xiaotian’s frustrated look, Liu Hun slowly stepped forward, looked at the young man, and said, "Do you know what place this is? Do you know who I am?"
"It’s just a little Dragon Sect, and Liu Hun, this matter has nothing to do with you. I’d advise you to stay out of it, otherwise, the consequences won’t be something your Dragon Sect can bear." The young man looked at Liu Hun in front of him, still not taking him seriously.
Watching the two, Wen Xiaodao hesitated for a moment, then quickly came to Liu Hun and whispered, "Boss, this is the eldest son of the Yun Family. If we clash with them, I’m worried..."
"Liu Hun, as the saying goes, knowing the times is the mark of a great man. Some things are not for your Dragon Sect to meddle with, and even taking it to the City Lord won’t give you any reasoning." Upon hearing Wen Xiaodao’s words, the arrogance on the young man’s face grew even stronger, as if he was sure Liu Hun wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
Unfortunately, this thought was completely wrong. In the City of Death, there was nothing Liu Hun dared not do.
Moreover, now, Liu Hun sincerely felt grateful to the young man for presenting him with such an opportunity. He had planned to use this chance to boost the Dragon Sect’s reputation and needed a stepping stone, and here it was, right in front of him.
"Slap!" Liu Hun said nothing, directly slapped the young man fiercely. The young man hadn’t expected Liu Hun to strike first, causing him to stagger back several steps before steadying himself, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn, how dare you hit me?" The eldest son of the Yun family felt the burning pain on his face, eyes flaring with anger, glaring at Liu Hun.
"So what if I hit you? I already reminded you; this is Dragon Sect, not anywhere else. I don’t care what grudges you had before, but since you came here to cause trouble, don’t blame me." Liu Hun shrugged his shoulders and continued to step toward the eldest son of the Yun family.
Seeing Liu Hun’s actions, the crowd felt a bit worried. Most of them, who had just joined the Dragon Sect, hesitated in the face of the Yun Family, a giant force.
But now that Liu Hun had acted, their smartest choice was to stand aside and watch, lest they suffer unnecessary harm.
"You’re asking for death. Kill him for me!" The eldest son of the Yun family, hearing Liu Hun’s unrelenting words, filled with killing intent, shouted orders at the elders beside him.
However, right after his words fell, Liu Hun’s mouth slightly curled up. He then calmly said to the others behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Don’t forget, you are now members of the Dragon Sect. Though this time they’re causing trouble for someone else, how many of you can guarantee no one will cause trouble for you in the future?"
Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, the crowd showed signs of hesitation. After all, in this city, who could stay completely uninvolved? Everyone had enemies, more or less.
This time the Yun Family was looking for trouble with Fan Xiaotian, but if next time someone sought trouble with them, would others just stand by and watch? Moreover, their fates were now tied to Liu Hun’s hands.
