Chapter 617: You Know Very Well What You Have Done

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In a building in Sky Alpha City that was the most deserted during the day but was more lively than usual at night…

At this hour, it was still early, but the people in that building had already started to get busy. Soon, it would be dark and guests would arrive.

There was only one room on the highest floor of the building. At this moment, the owner of this building was lying on a gigantic bed. Beside him were several women in skimpy clothes who lay sprawled all over the place.

Long Ba was sleeping soundly when the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

He woke up in shock. Then his flabby face became furious.

“Who the fuck has the guts to disrupt my sleep…” Long Ba lifted his legs high to propel himself upright on the bed.

When he finally saw the person clearly, his expression changed drastically. The arrogance he had a moment ago was instantly replaced by a groveling smiley face.

He kicked the women aside, and they scrambled up in fright.

“What are you staring at? Quickly help me get dressed.”

After a moment of frantic activity in the room, the women dressed Long Ba neatly and bowed before excusing themselves.

Long Ba trembled as he knelt before Su Ying. “I didn’t know that you had arrived and so did not welcome you, City Lord. Please forgive me.”

Su Ying leaned back languidly in her chair and glanced at him indifferently.

“Long Ba, have you forgotten the rules because I left the city for a while?”

Long Ba’s face tensed up as he replied, “Please forgive me, City Lord. I don’t know what I have done wrong. Please enlighten me.”

Su Ying gave a scornful laugh and slowly stood up to look down at him. “Long Ba, you should know better than me what you’ve done.”

Long Ba’s eyes darted around momentarily. “City Lord, I’ve been abiding by the rules scrupulously ever since I arrived in the city. I really haven’t done anything that I shouldn’t have done… Argh!”

Before he could finish speaking, his voice became stuck in his throat. His two eyes were wide open and he could not utter a single word.

Su Ying had grabbed his throat with one hand and lifted him up from the ground outright.

Long Ba felt that the air in his chest was getting less. The sense of approaching death made him experience a feeling of unprecedented fear.

“City… City Lord, spare my life. I… I’ll confess, I’ll… confess… Argh!”

Bang! Long Ba was thrown to the ground, and the impact caused the entire building to shake.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Long Ba rubbed his neck and coughed violently. His two bloodshot eyes betrayed the terror in the depths of his eyes.

“City Lord, I… I only captured a few young ladies who had just entered the city a while ago… They stayed here. Thereafter, they also chose to stay behind voluntarily…”

Su Ying lowered her eyes to look at Long Ba. Her hand landed on his shoulder and pressed down on it nonchalantly.

Long Ba was so terrified that all the hair on his body stood on end.

“City… City Lord…”

“Long Ba, did I not tell you that if you dare to violate the laws of the city, I will cripple you?”

Long Ba’s entire body trembled violently. He had witnessed Su Ying’s might before. He knew that she could take his life effortlessly.

“City Lord, I… I know my mistake now. I’m willing to accept the punishment, but… but I didn’t lie. Those women were willing to stay of their own accord. They were all willing, honest!”

Su Ying gave a disdainful smirk and increased the force in her hand.

Long Ba was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. “I’m… I’m telling the truth… If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”

Fifteen minutes later, all the women Long Ba had captured were brought into the room, along with the people he had sent to capture them.

They looked at Long Ba, who was being stepped on by Su Ying, and were so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Su Ying’s gaze swept across their faces casually. “Were all of you abducted from the streets?”

The women looked panicky as they raised their heads to quickly glance at Su Ying. They then turned to Long Ba. They were trembling so badly that they didn’t know how to respond.

“Be bold and tell me the truth. If I find out that all of you have been coerced, I will crush his bones!”

Right now, Long Ba was being crushed under Su Ying’s feet like a blob of minced meat.

Those few women exchanged glances and said with trembling voices, “City Lord… City Lord, when we first came here, we were indeed afraid. But after a long time, we’ve gotten used to it. There’s food, water, and a place to stay. This is already the best arrangement for us, in our view.”

Su Ying saw that although they were still terrified when they said this, their expressions were very sincere and they did not seem to be lying.

She waved her hand and gestured for them to stand to the side. Her gaze then fell on the henchmen who abducted the women.

The henchmen were trembling like jelly and almost cried.

“When did you guys start abducting people, and who did you abduct? Tell me everything.”

The henchmen scrambled to speak, “City Lord, we started from…”

“Back then, those women were allowed into the city by Lord Chu. After asking around, we found out that they were all criminals who had been exiled from those kingdoms. We… we saw that they were pretty, so we thought of getting them to come here by offering them some food. Thus, we led our brothers to bring them back.”

“That’s right, City Lord. It was… it was just that one time. After that, no one came to the city. We… we don’t dare to misbehave anymore. Please let us off this time, City Lord.”

Su Ying’s gaze turned to the women. “Is what they said true?”

The women nodded. “Yes… yes. We… we were exiled to the northern wilderness… We… we arrived three months ago.”

“How many times did you guys abduct people?”

“City Lord, just… just this once. Lord… Lord Chu and his men are also watching us closely. We… we don’t dare…”

“You don’t dare? You’ve already brought them back, yet you still tell me you don’t dare!” Su Ying’s voice suddenly became louder, scaring everyone so much that their blood started to flow backward!

“City Lord, spare us! City Lord, spare us! We won’t dare to do it again. We won’t dare to do it again!”

“Argh! Argh!”

Cries of pain flooded the whole room.

The people inside the building did not dare to move when they heard the commotion.

“I’ll ask you one more time. Who else have you abducted besides them?”

Su Ying stomped her foot on one of the henchmen as she hollered sternly.

“No… no more. We swear… swear… we… we only abducted that one time…”

Su Ying exerted force on her foot and crushed all the bones in that henchman’s hand.

“Argh!”

“Hang him on the door sign. Ten lashes a day. For every person he abducted, punish him for as many days. I will personally administer the punishment!” Su Ying grabbed Long Ba and threw him into the hall.

Crash! The loud impact scared everyone shitless.

All of them knelt on the ground in fear.

“Hang him up!”

The people in the building stepped forward fearfully. Even if they didn’t dare to offend Long Ba under normal circumstances, compared to facing Su Ying, they would rather beat Long Ba to death if they were told to.

A dozen people joined forces and hung Long Ba on the signboard at the building’s entrance.

Su Ying pulled out a whip from her body and hit him again and again.

After ten lashes, she swept her stern icy gaze across the crowd.

“If I find out that any of you dare to commit those despicable deeds again, I will crush all of you to bits!”
