Chapter 826: 437 Afraid_2

Fang Yuxin smiled faintly, speaking neither obsequiously nor arrogantly: "There are so many people here. Surely, everyone saw what happened just now. We were just casually looking around the store; even the manager had no objections. But you, Miss Qin, with your high status, came in hurling insults. When we wanted to leave, you blocked our way, so I lost my temper and said something. Then you immediately acted in the store, throwing a fireball to burn my face.

After I won, I hadn’t intended to trouble you, but you, without a word, set another fire to kill me. If the street hadn’t been wide enough and if I hadn’t interrupted your skill in time, this place would have turned into a sea of fire. Now you refuse to admit it and even try to twist the truth, saying I want to use you against the Thunder Mercenary Corps. I can’t understand; did I force you to act?"

Her voice was lazy, laced with a sarcastic undertone. Hearing this, the onlookers directed even more disdainful looks toward Qin Xiran. This being a commercial street, it was quite crowded; during the commotion earlier, many people had been watching and saw the whole incident. After hearing the words from both Qin Xiran and Fang Yuxin, these people found Qin Xiran’s behavior incomprehensible.

There might be some ulterior motives in this incident, but Fang Yuxin wasn’t wrong—Qin Xiran acted on her own accord; no one forced it. Even if she was being used, it was her own fault. Who could be blamed? Moreover, even if the Qiankun Mercenary Group wanted to deal with the Thunder Mercenary Corps, why would they employ such a method and specifically involve her?

After all, Qin Xiran is merely the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, and the daughter-in-law of the Qu Family. Nowadays, both the Qin and Qu families hold little status in the Thunder Mercenary Corps. Even if she were killed outside, the squad leader, Qiu Yiming, wouldn’t even frown. Who does she think she is? Does she represent the entire Thunder Mercenary Corps?

Qin Xiran felt intensely uncomfortable, especially under the gaze of the crowd, like being pricked by thorns, full of shame. Unable to offend anyone else, she could only glare at Fang Yuxin, as if she could kill her with her stare.

At this moment, after having watched enough drama, Sun Wei finally spoke: "Hmm, I have roughly understood the situation. Although you acted in self-defense, once you take action, you have to accept the punishment—it’s the rule. Considering you didn’t cause damage, your fine will be a thousand credit points." This was directed toward Fang Yuxin. Then, he turned to look at Qin Xiran, his voice carrying a colder tone, "Miss Qin, since you initiated the provocation and attacked twice with a flame attack, this cannot be overlooked. Though your skill was interrupted and no damage was done, using a flame attack has a truly vile nature. Therefore, you’ll be fined ten thousand credit points. I hope you learn from this lesson."

After speaking, he operated the communicator, and soon, both Fang Yuxin’s and Qin Xiran’s communicators received a fine and a deduction notice.

Seeing the remaining credit points in her account, Fang Yuxin quietly apologized to "Chen Hong" in her heart, deciding to compensate her later when they left. Chen Hong’s account didn’t have many credit points; it was evident that, despite being a second-level superpower user, she lived a tight life. After deducting the thousand credit points, only a few hundred remained in her account.

As for Qin Xiran, being the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, even without going out to hunt zombies, her account boasted quite a few credit points. Even so, she was unhappy with Sun Wei’s approach. In her view, this incident was clearly Fang Yuxin’s doing, so why should she be fined?

She glanced at Fang Yuxin, who said nothing, silently cursed in her heart, hesitated, but swallowed back the words "I don’t agree." She had been worried this case would implicate the Qin Family; the outcome as is was already not bad.

However, while she decided to lay low, Qu Qianlin was dissatisfied, expressing his discontent: "So, Xiran was severely injured by this woman, and we’re just going to let it go?"

Sun Wei cast a disdainful glance at him, his face darkening with some displeasure as he asked, "What more do you want?" He could see that Qin Xiran was injured, but so what? She acted first, and when she was overpowered and injured, it was her own fault. Reversing it to demand compensation—where’s the sense in that?

Besides, what’s the deal with Qin Xiran’s injury? If that woman hadn’t held back, Qin Xiran would already be severely injured! To have the audacity to say such things, indeed the ignorant child of privilege!

Qu Qianlin trembled within, but upon seeing Qin Xiran’s pitiful appearance, he gathered his courage and said, "Regardless, Xiran was severely injured by her; she should at least pay for her medical expenses, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuxin raised her eyebrow, chuckling, "I’ve long heard that Mr. Qu is deeply devoted to Miss Qin. Seeing it today, it indeed seems true. You want medical expenses? I’ll give you a chance. You come and claim them yourself: as long as you win, I’ll pay her medical expenses to you, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Qianlin’s heart started to drum with anxiety. Though he was a third-level superpower user, he knew that compared to superpower users who regularly hunt zombies, he was no match! This woman looked so confident; surely he wasn’t her opponent! If he agreed and ended up injured himself, it wouldn’t just be Qin Xiran affected!

Seeing him remain silent, Fang Yuxin spoke again: "What? Unwilling, Mr. Qu? Or have you changed your mind?"

Qu Qianlin’s expression changed; he really couldn’t afford to lose face! However, it was absolutely impossible for him to engage directly with Fang Yuxin! So he looked to his subordinates, giving them a signal to stand forward themselves. (To be continued.
