Chapter 824: 436 Conspiracy Theory_2

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!

The whole commercial district was jointly controlled by the Qiankun Mercenary Group and the Thunder Mercenary Corps, with some other forces having a certain presence. And the place where the incident occurred happened to be under the control of the Qiankun Mercenary Group! A while had passed since the incident, yet not even a single peacekeeper had shown up. It was impossible for them to believe there was no foul play involved!

So after some conspiracy theorizing, they decided they couldn’t let Qu Qianlin and Qin Xiran make a reckless move! Although they worked for Qu Qianlin, they found him and Qin Xiran, these two second-generation rich, quite unpleasant to deal with. Why should these two not have to go out and hunt zombies and instead get to use Crystal Cores for cultivation freely, with an endless supply of credit points? Wasn’t it all because of their family background?

It was no wonder these second-level superpower users looked down on Qu Qianlin and Qin Xiran; the two normally did nothing proper and just knew how to waste Crystal Cores and credit points. They barely managed to advance to third-level superpower users, yet their real strength was inferior even to second-level superpower users. How could they not be scorned?

So they completely ignored Qu Qianlin’s anger and threats, with one among them saying, "Second Young Master, today’s matter isn’t simple; there’s likely deception involved, so it’s best not to act recklessly."

Then someone else persuaded, "That’s right, Second Young Master, this is Qiankun Mercenary Group’s territory. If we cause trouble here, they won’t let it slide easily."

Listening to this, Qu Qianlin’s face darkened. What about it being Qiankun Mercenary Group’s territory? His wife was bullied like this, and yet he shouldn’t be angry? He had been suppressing himself long enough; any longer, and would he still be considered a man?

He glared at these people fiercely, cursing under his breath, "Stop spouting nonsense here! So what if it’s Qiankun Mercenary Group’s territory? Clearly, the others were the ones being disrespectful! If we capture them, we can head to Qiankun Hotel and demand justice!"

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.
