Chapter 293

Even at the risk of one's life, one must take a look!

Ammunition reloaded again, Su Yang pressed the red button.

This time it hit dead center; after the explosion, the massive sign of "Zhenbao Pavilion" fell straight down and smashed onto the ground.

Liu Long's facial muscles twitched violently!

Inside Zhenbao Pavilion, silence reigned, broken only by screams and people scrambling to put out fires.

The Zhenbao Pavilion building had not yet collapsed.

A few more shots should completely demolish it!

Many residents watching from distant high-rises had begun to see through the pattern.

Facing the artillery barrage, not a single expert from Zhenbao Pavilion stepped out to fight to the death!

"Zhenbao Pavilion is such cowards—three shots in, and they won't even try to block a single shell! Don't they have Star Radiance experts?"

"If you're not scared, go in and try it—see if you dare resist!"

"That's the Emergency Unit—who in all the southwest would dare resist? Want to die faster?"

"Honestly, I'd love to see them fight—Zhenbao Pavilion will be wiped out for sure!"

"I want to see the fight too…"

"Flattening Zhenbao Pavilion is kinda fun!"

"…"

After three shots, Su Yang felt unsatisfied.

The energy cannon is awesome!

So easy—blast a whole crowd at once!

But he noticed the platoon leader's expression—he didn't seem planning to let him fire again.

"Their attitude is quite cooperative!"

Yao Xing remarked offhandedly.

He smiled and shouted loudly: "Liu Long, bring your people out!"

Liu Long stood beside a broken wall and asked: "May I ask why?"

Yao Xing waved at him: "We'll talk slowly—in prison!"

Three minutes later, Liu Long led a group of high-ranking officials from Zhenbao Pavilion out through the entrance.

Technically speaking, Zhenbao Pavilion no longer had an entrance… anywhere could serve as one!

Behind them came the surviving beast-tamers from Zhenbao Pavilion, along with over a hundred ordinary staff members.

"Hands!"

Shen Yan raised the handcuffs; they clinked as he shook them.

"Do we really need these?" Liu Long gritted his teeth.

After all, he was a King-level beast-tamer—his status was noble!

"Just a formality!" Ma Wenhong stepped forward and said, "Of course, you're still free to run right now!"

All Zhenbao Pavilion high-ranking officials glared at Ma Wenhong.

Yet Ma Wenhong's face still wore a smile.

To anyone unaware, he'd seem kind and approachable.

Liu Long glanced back at the others, then extended his hands—Shen Yan casually cuffed him…

Seeing their shop manager submit, the other Zhenbao Pavilion high-rankings had no choice but to yield.

Soon after, the two hundred-plus survivors of Zhenbao Pavilion, all shackled, were loaded onto prisoner vans and dragged off to prison.

City Guard troops affixed sealing strips to the Zhenbao Pavilion building and temporarily stationed there with members of the Emergency Unit.

Su Yang lay on the back of Storm Eagle, watching the prisoner vans slowly depart… he was assigned reconnaissance duty!

On the way to prison, Deputy Platoon Leader Ma Wenhong jumped onto the prisoner van.

On the van sat all the Zhenbao Pavilion high-rankings, including shop manager Liu Long.

Ma Wenhong said: "Make room for me to sit!"

A platinum-level beast-tamer from Zhenbao Pavilion, still in shackles, quickly squeezed over to make space for Ma Wenhong.

Ma Wenhong didn't hesitate—he plopped right down in the middle of a pile of "prisoners."

"Captain Ma, can you tell us why? We still have no idea what's going on!" Liu Long looked across at Ma Wenhong. "Even if you're going to kill us, let us die knowing why!"

"Your people at Zhenbao Pavilion nearly killed one of our Emergency Unit members on Mount Yandang. That member came back and reported it to Commander Yao—what could I do?"

Liu Long whispered: "Intentional?"

"Of course it was intentional! If it weren't intentional, why would Commander Yao be so furious?" Ma Wenhong sneered. "Do you think our military doesn't have reason?"

The military has reason?

What a joke!

If the military had reason, they wouldn't have blasted Zhenbao Pavilion without warning and thrown everyone into prison!

What did they have to do with it?

It wasn't their order!

"According to the Lianbang Army wartime regulations, anyone who intends to endanger the lives of Lianbang Army personnel shall be severely punished; any organization that intends to endanger the lives of Lianbang Army personnel shall be dissolved or eradicated!"

The Lianbang Army wartime regulations apply only during wartime.

For the past three hundred years, the Huaxia Federation has never not been in a state of wartime…

The greatest enemy has simply been the ferocious beasts!

The interpretation of this regulation rests entirely in the hands of the military.

But this alone couldn't frighten Liu Long and the others.

The Treasure Pavilion is deeply rooted in the Huaxia Federation; it's not something that can be abolished at will.

But Liu Long and the others hated the Treasure Pavilion member who had attacked the Emergency Team members with utmost fury.

Liu Long immediately said: "Captain Ma, we absolutely had no intention of harming any Emergency Team member. It must have been that man acting on his own. Please tell us who exactly committed this act—we will deliver his head to you and offer satisfactory compensation!"

"Yes, we will kill him!"

"Deliver him alive—do whatever you want with him!"

"Captain Ma, tell us who it is?"

Liu Long and the assembly of high-ranking officials of the Treasure Pavilion hated the Treasure Pavilion member who caused the trouble more than anything.

If not for him, their Treasure Pavilion would not have suffered so badly!

Even if you strike, shouldn't you clean up the aftermath properly?

Now look—your Treasure Pavilion has been blown to rubble, with countless losses.

They're even going to be sent to prison!

Fool, you don't deserve to live—you deserve to be flayed alive!

Ma Wenhong, seeing Liu Long and the assembly of high-ranking officials of the Treasure Pavilion's furious expressions, smiled faintly at Liu Long and said: "Store Manager Liu, unfortunate as it may be, the one who attacked our Emergency Team member happens to be your precious daughter, Liu Mengyun!"
