Chapter 514 - 142: You Captured Him! How Can You Threaten Me?
At the end.
Ye Liuyun looked at Lu Yuan with a mocking gaze.
"..."
At this point,
how could Lu Yuan not realize that Ye Liuyun had clearly already seen through his talent, as well as those little schemes of his.
His face immediately turned ugly.
"How can there be someone like you in this world!"
See through another’s talent? What the hell kind of ability is that!
Now that he’d been exposed, there wasn’t much point in pretending anymore. The sincerity in Lu Yuan’s eyes instantly became ruthless.
"Even if I die, I won’t let you all have it easy!"
Someone this afraid to die, of course would rather survive if possible.
After struggling to his feet, he lunged straight at the County Magistrate’s position. He knew he was no match for Ye Liuyun, but dealing with a County Magistrate would be easy.
"Guards! Somebody, help!"
Seeing this,
the County Magistrate was obviously startled, while the chief clerk and the others beside him immediately scattered and ran away.
As for risking their lives to save the County Magistrate?
No way!
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yuan grabbed the County Magistrate by the throat, eyes menacing as he glared at the surrounding Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Back off! If you don’t want him dead, clear the way for me!"
"..."
The only response to Lu Yuan was a series of cold and indifferent gazes.
These Embroidered Uniform Guards only followed Ye Liuyun’s orders—why would they care about the life or death of a County Magistrate?
Lu Yuan obviously noticed this too.
His face was a bit ugly but he immediately looked at Ye Liuyun.
"Back off! If you don’t want me to kill him, tell them to clear the way!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan deliberately tightened his grip.
This County Magistrate was just an ordinary person; after being choked like this, his face flushed bright red!
In fact,
with Ye Liuyun’s strength, he could have intervened the moment Lu Yuan made a move.
However,
Ye Liuyun had no such intention.
Seeing Lu Yuan like this, Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed.
"You’re holding him, so why should that threaten me?"
"???"
This left Lu Yuan clearly stunned—this situation wasn’t at all as he expected!
And the County Magistrate seized the chance to beg Ye Liuyun for help.
"Lord! Help me, my lord!"
Seeing him like this, Ye Liuyun replied directly,
"Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to report this entire matter to His Majesty and guarantee you a grand funeral!"
"..."
Grand funeral—what the hell does that mean.
The County Magistrate clearly hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun to abandon him so bluntly.
Before he could say anything more,
"Do it!"
With just those two words from Ye Liuyun, Si Nan, Shi Sheng, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards broke out into cruel smiles.
Evidently, they’d anticipated this situation a long time ago.
So nobody found it surprising.
"Kill!"
Led by Si Nan and Shi Sheng, the Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately charged forward, overwhelming the place where Lu Yuan stood.
Naturally, that included the County Magistrate.
When the crowd finally cleared, they saw that Lu Yuan was already riddled with knife wounds, collapsed on the ground, utterly lifeless.
The same went for the County Magistrate beside him.
Only, even in death, the County Magistrate still wore a look of disbelief.
Clearly, he hadn’t seen this coming.
He thought everything would go smoothly: the bandits would die, his secret would remain safe, and he would still be the same County Magistrate of Lishui City as before.
Yet now, he’d died for nothing, without even knowing why!
