These soldiers were all clad in leather armor, with the leader wearing a low-ranking officer’s chainmail. They all held their heads high, making it clear they weren’t there to do good deeds.

“Where’s your boss? Tell him to come out,” the officer leading them barked, one hand on the hilt of his sword, the other on his hip.

The ten soldiers he brought with him quickly formed a line, their spears pointed towards the shop’s interior, blocking the entrance.

Upon seeing the soldiers, a shop assistant immediately came forward, “Sir, what’s going on?” the assistant asked cautiously.

The officer snorted, “Your Moon Night Merchant Guild is suspected of colluding with the Demon race. I’m here to take your boss back for questioning.”

The assistant was stunned. Clearly, this was the first time he’d encountered something like this. “Sir, we’re itinerant merchants! Protected by the Alliance.”

“Slap!” The officer slapped him across the face. “What bullsh*t itinerant merchants? Let me tell you, I’m the new patrol officer. Specifically responsible for patrolling this street. It’s said that your Moon Night Merchant Guild is the wealthiest on this street. Why is it so wealthy? Isn’t it because you’re colluding with the Demon race?”

Hearing his initial words, Long Haochen had already pulled Cai’er aside, thinking the Moon Night Merchant Guild had done something wrong. As a member of the Temple Alliance, he naturally wouldn’t interfere in such matters, as long as it didn’t affect the Moon Night Merchant Guild taking them into the Demon territory.

However, after hearing the later part, it clearly took a different turn. What did he mean by the Moon Night Merchant Guild being the wealthiest? Even though Long Haochen didn’t fully understand these official matters, he could vaguely guess what these soldiers were there for.

At this moment, a manager of the Moon Night Merchant Guild hurried over from the back. He was also stunned when he saw the soldiers blocking the door, and the assistant who had relayed the message pointed to Long Haochen and Cai’er, whispering a few words in his ear.

The manager first bowed to Long Haochen, apologizing, then turned to the officer, smiling. “Sir, I’m the manager of the Moon Night Merchant Guild. I wonder why you’re blocking the entrance to our guild? We are legitimate merchants protected by the Council.”

The officer sneered. “What legitimate merchant? Aren’t you doing business with the Demon race? Colluding with the Demon race is a great crime! Come with us.” As he spoke, he reached out to grab the manager’s shoulder.

The manager’s smile remained unchanged, but his body swayed slightly, easily dodging the grab. He took a step back and said, “Sir, please restrain yourself. If this matter is escalated, it won’t do you any good. I think I have a way to prove our innocence.” As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his chest and handed it to the officer.

Originally, the officer was about to explode after the other party dodged his grab, but seeing the money bag the manager handed over, the coldness on his face immediately thawed like spring ice.

He took the money bag, opened it, and a look of satisfaction immediately flashed in his eyes. “You’re smart. It’s not easy for you itinerant merchants to do business with the Demon race, but you must be careful! Alright, we’re withdrawing.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, ready to lead the soldiers away.

“Wait a minute.” A clear, but somewhat indifferent voice, rang out at this moment.

The officer froze and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, only to see one of the two people wearing bamboo hats standing to the side step forward and casually remove his hat.

“What is it?” The officer’s voice became cold again. Looking at Long Haochen’s handsome and very young appearance, he immediately put on an official air.

Long Haochen said calmly, “You all stay. Send someone to the Council to call the Xingxun City Executive Officer or Military Chief here.”

The officer’s expression changed. “Kid, are you out of your mind?” As he spoke, he raised the sword in his left hand. This sword had a scabbard. With the tip pointing upwards, he brought the scabbard down on Long Haochen’s head.

A flash of light flickered in Long Haochen’s eyes, and a biting killing intent erupted from his body, “How dare you?”

With an angry roar, the entire Moon Night Merchant Guild seemed to echo with a clap of thunder. The officer was just a minor character. How could he withstand Long Haochen’s roar filled with spiritual power? His face turned pale, and he immediately fell to the ground. The soldiers he brought with him also staggered and fell.

Long Haochen raised his right hand, and a golden light fell, enveloping an ordinary soldier. Then, he threw a silver light into the soldier’s arms. “Go, do as I just said, or you will never leave this place.”

Just a roar had made these officers and soldiers lose their combat power. All they felt was shock. How could they dare to resist at all? And when the officer vaguely saw the appearance of the token, his face turned ashen, and he muttered, unable to speak.

The soldier, whose shock was alleviated by Long Haochen’s restoration spell, hurriedly ran off, clutching the Grand Master level Demon Hunt Squad token Long Haochen had given him.

Long Haochen coldly said to the other soldiers, “Get over there and kneel.”

These people were just frightened and fell to the ground, but they hadn’t lost their ability to move. Facing Long Haochen’s imposing aura, who would dare to resist? Especially the officer, who was like a defeated rooster, didn’t dare to say a word and took the lead in crawling to the side and kneeling down.

Even now, the anger on Long Haochen’s face hadn’t diminished. His hands were clenched tightly. If these soldiers dared to resist any further, he might have directly attacked them.

Ever since Long Haochen became a knight, almost all the enemies he faced were Demons. The humans he came into contact with were also mostly heroic figures. He galloped on the battlefield, charging through enemy ranks. What was it all for? It was to protect the human people and allow them to live and work in peace!

However, while the soldiers were fighting the Demon race on the battlefield, such parasites were appearing behind their backs. How could Long Haochen, who was kind and hated evil, not be angry? He had forcibly restrained his emotions to avoid directly killing the officer. Otherwise, as soon as he made a move, he would definitely have taken the officer’s life.

Looking at their cowardly appearance, and then thinking of the Alliance soldiers who were shedding blood and dying on the battlefield, Long Haochen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He really wanted to kill all these garbage.

The Demon Hunt Squads were not only for dealing with the Demon race. Within the Temple Alliance, they also had a special responsibility, which was to supervise. Any level of Demon Hunt Squad had the ability to supervise any level of the Alliance. The higher the level of the Demon Hunt Squad, the greater the supervisory role.

To give a simple example, if a Title level Demon Hunt Squad questioned the Alliance Leader, the impeachment process would be immediately initiated. The Demon Hunt Squads risked their lives for the Alliance, made countless contributions, and they didn’t have the direct authority to command troops, but in terms of supervisory power, they were the greatest in the Alliance.

As the leader of a Grand Master level Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen had the right to ask the Xingxun City Executive Officer or Military Chief to come over. He could even directly question these two managers of Xingxun City. Once he made a serious accusation upwards, these two would probably have to accept a deep investigation, and their futures could be ruined.

The manager of the Moon Night Merchant Guild had been standing quietly to the side since Long Haochen spoke, watching Long Haochen handle this matter. When Long Haochen shouted, he was also startled. That killing intent was not something that just anyone could emit. Only a strong person who had truly been on the battlefield and killed countless enemies could release this iron-blooded aura. No wonder the president repeatedly told them to cooperate with all their actions. He was indeed not an ordinary person!

Long Haochen turned to the manager and said in a deep voice, “Hello, my name is Long Haochen. Does this kind of situation happen often?”

The manager of the Moon Night Merchant Guild shook his head slightly. “It rarely happens usually. This officer should have just started his duty not long ago. His behavior cannot represent all soldiers.”

Hearing his words, Long Haochen’s expression relaxed slightly. “Then why didn’t you question him just now?”

The manager smiled calmly and said, “Mr. Long, harmony brings wealth, we are merchants. The people don’t fight with the officials!”

Long Haochen nodded silently. He knew that he was still just a sixteen-year-old boy when it came to dealing with people. However, since he had encountered it today, he would see it through to the end, and also give the Xingxun City officials a warning. If the soldiers were protecting their country on the front lines, and something went wrong in the rear because of these parasites, he really couldn’t bear it.

“Is Miss Moon Night well?” Long Haochen asked in a low voice.

The manager said respectfully, “Miss is fine, but she is not here. Miss instructed before leaving, Mr. Long can ask us for anything, we will fully cooperate. The latest merchant group can depart in three days, and the goods have been configured almost.”

Long Haochen nodded and said, “Okay, we will go with your merchant group into the Demon territory.”

The manager nodded slightly, but didn’t say anything more. He seemed very cautious and steady. Indeed, those who could gain Moon Night’s trust must not be ordinary people.

Before long, the sound of rapid hooves came from outside, stopping at the entrance of the merchant guild. Two middle-aged men hurried in, one wearing a robe, and the other wearing plate armor. They looked like one was a scholar and the other was a warrior.

As soon as they entered, these two saw the soldiers kneeling on the side, and their expressions immediately turned ugly. The military man wearing plate armor took a step forward and kicked the officer to the ground, “Bastard, you have disgraced Xingxun City.”

These two were the Xingxun City Executive Officer and Military Chief. It was a coincidence that these two were both there when the soldier sent the message. Receiving the Grand Master level Demon Hunt Squad token, these two were immediately shocked.

Xingxun City was a large city, and on the border. The status of these two was far from comparable to the Executive Officer and Military Chief of small cities like Haoyue City. However, the Demon Hunt Squads were an existence that they couldn’t afford to offend!
