An Understated Dominance

Led by the man with a crew cut, General Long Wei, who was in disguise, walked openly on the street as a city guard. At this time, it was already late at night and there were no pedestrians in the streets. There were only teams of fully armed soldiers patrolling everywhere. Each checkpoint has its own pass and is guarded by soldiers. Even patrol teams have to show their tokens when passing through. General Long Wei walked at the end of the team, with his hat pulled down so low that it almost covered half of his face. In addition, it was dark and he couldn't be seen clearly unless someone got close to him. "This Thorian Rhys is really thoughtful. If I didn't have the help of the spies from the Temple of the Gods, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave the royal city." Looking at the various sentries in the streets and alleys, General Long Wei couldn't help but be secretly shocked. After only walking less than five kilometers, they have alread...

"In order to avoid trouble, the four of them must die!" the man with a crew cut said concisely. As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the four soldiers of the Fire Army changed instantly. General Long Wei also frowned, his face gloomy: "What nonsense are you talking about? They are all my personal guards, brothers who have been through life and death with me, how could they defect to the enemy?" "The most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart. There are many cases of brothers fighting against each other and fighting in the same house. For your safety, we can't take risks." The man with a crew cut said in a serious tone. "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated! We have followed the general for many years, experienced life and death, and are loyal to him. We will never betray him even if we lose our lives!" "That's right! Don't judge a gentleman by your own mean heart!" ...

The night gradually deepens. With the city under martial law, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and most of them were patrolmen in uniform. Even if there are a few exceptions, everyone is in a hurry for fear of getting into trouble. At this time, a patrol team of ten people slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard where General Long Wei was hiding. The patrol leader was a burly man with a crew cut. The man with a crew cut looked left and made sure there was no one around before he raised his hand and knocked on the gate. "Knock, knock! Knock, knock!" The knocking sound was very rhythmic, like some kind of secret code. The man with a crew cut knocked once, but there was no response, so he knocked twice more. After knocking three times, the gate finally opened a crack, but the person inside only showed half of his face, and a deep voice rang out: "The sun is shining in the sky." "Let's drink and ask the sky." The man ...

Night is gradually falling. At this moment, in a simple and unpretentious house. General Longwei was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing. After a day of recuperation, the poison from the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder in his body had been forced out for the most part, and he was basically fine. However, the whole city was under martial law, all checkpoints were blocked, and red wanted posters were posted everywhere. Even if he recovered his strength, he could not escape from the royal city. I can only live here temporarily to avoid the limelight. As for the original owner of the house, he had become a corpse. "Knock, knock, knock..." At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. General Long Wei in the bedroom immediately opened his eyes and grabbed the knife beside him. "Who is it?" Several guards of the Fire Army in the living room became alert. Two of them quietly drew their swords and stood on...

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to be arrested, An Rhys completely panicked and shouted: "Without multiple reviews and without a judge's ruling, what rights do you have to arrest me? What you are doing is violent law enforcement! It's arrogance and unreasonable!" "Heh... When I was talking to you about reason, you had to act like a rogue; now that I'm acting like a rogue, you want to talk to me about the rule of law? Do you think it's possible?" Thorian said sarcastically. "Lord An, if you have any reason, come to the prison and tell me, we can talk slowly!" Wang Mang walked forward with an evil smile and put his big hand on An Rhys's shoulder. "Wait! I have something to say!" An Rhys swallowed his saliva, and realizing that the situation was going to be unbearable, he finally stopped being stubborn and began to speak softly: "Thorian, we are all family, why did we have to make such a fuss? This matte...

"Ledger?" Looking at the familiar red ledger under his feet, An Rhys' pupils shrank, and the expression on his face finally lost its composure. He really didn't expect that the account books he had hidden in the secret room would be found by the law enforcement team. Everything recorded here is evidence of his collusion with officials and wealthy businessmen, and of corruption and bribery. He originally intended to keep it for self-defense, to avoid these officials standing by and watching him die when he got into trouble. Unexpectedly, today, his amulet would become a death warrant. The property can be confiscated and the children can deny their ownership, but how can one deny the account book that is filled with one’s notes? An Rhys frowned and sweated profusely. Before he knew it, his back was already soaked. "Lord An Rhys, why are you sweating so much? Is it too hot? How about I ask someone to fan you?" Wang Mang sneered. The evidence c...

"Oh? Really? Then present the evidence and let everyone open their eyes." Thorian said with a smile. "Gulong..." An Rhys swallowed his saliva, and his indifference emerged. In just half a day, could it be possible that all his secrets had been exposed? "First, I investigated Lord An Rhys' financial problems." Wang Mang took out a document and placed it on the table, saying in a sonorous voice: "Lord An Rhys' consumption level is far beyond his salary. He owns 18 luxury houses, dozens of luxury cars, private collections of gold, antiques, and famous paintings, etc., totaling tens of billions of assets! With Lord An Rhys' salary, to collect tens of billions of assets, he would have to work hard for thousands of years without eating or drinking. So I am very curious, where does Lord An Rhys' money come from?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on An Rhys. They knew An Rhys would be gre...
