MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Chapter 519: Chapter 7: Furious Killing

Soldiers clad in red armor stormed into the inn, violently ransacking the great hall and, upon seeing the proprietor descend the stairs, immediately seized him and dragged him before a petty leader.

The petty leader glanced at the innkeeper, “You are the owner here?”

“Military…Lords, I am indeed,” the innkeeper replied, forcing a smile but inwardly terrified.

“His Highness Prince Qin’s favorite jade bracelet has been stolen by a villain and we have been specially ordered to search for it. Have you seen any unfamiliar faces around here?”

“Responding to…the military lord,” the innkeeper was extremely nervous, but took a deep breath, “There hasn’t been any unfamiliar face here, and didn’t Prince Qin have an agreement with His Majesty that during the hunting season, no entry into residents’ homes is allowed? I don’t understand why…”

Before the innkeeper could finish, the petty leader slapped him across the face so hard that the innkeeper spat out blood-stained teeth.

“Hmph! His Highness Prince Qin has lost a beloved item. I am merely here to investigate. Do not accuse me improperly.” The petty leader smirked and then commanded, “This man is slick with his words and attempts to implicate His Highness Prince Qin. He surely is an accomplice of the thief. Execute him on the spot!”

“What?!” The innkeeper, scared out of his wits, wept bitterly, “My lord…I am wronged!”

“Still trying to deny it!” The petty leader drew his long sword and slashed towards the innkeeper’s head.

At that moment, a cold snort came from the stairwell, and the soldiers staggered as if struck, falling to the ground.

Lu Hong, with a somber expression, said, “Taking life so lightly, is this how you serve as soldiers?”
