Chapter 814

"Did you intentionally kill them?"

"No, before, the people around me had bad luck, but it wasn't fatal—I only recently realized my condition is getting worse."

"Enough!"

Su Yang snapped his fingers.

Xia Na suddenly woke up, looking at Su Yang with confusion.

Su Yang said to Mi Shan: "Her constitution may be unusual; the deaths of those three mercenary squads are connected to her, but she didn't intend to kill."

Mi Shan asked quietly: "Are you, Lord Su, suspecting her constitution attracts calamity?"

"My pet beast already has Star-Shine High-Grade power—I don't believe a Silver-level Beast Tamer like her can resist my pet's hypnosis… Besides, if ferocious beasts and phoenixes have appeared, what's impossible?" Su Yang pointed to himself and said, "My own constitution is unusual—so why couldn't there be someone even more Xie Sect?"

"Lord Su speaks sense!"

When Mi Shan looked at Xia Na again, his eyes held caution.

There was no choice!

Xia Na's words were simply too shocking.

Whether her self-assessment was true or false, being cautious was never wrong.

"Are you planning to take her with you?"

"Take her!" Su Yang smiled. "I find her interesting—I want to see if she can bring me misfortune, and meanwhile, I can observe her."

"Lord Su… truly, your skill makes you fearless!"

"My lords, what about my husband's death?"

The aggressive mercenary's family member asked cautiously.

It was she who kicked Xia Na!

But before Su Yang and Mi Shan, she dared not be fierce.

Su Yang said: "Subjectively, Xia Na did not intend to kill your husband, but objectively, she bears great responsibility."

The family member nodded: "Lord Su is right—she is responsible."

"Here's what I'll do," Su Yang said. "I'll make her pay double compensation—each mercenary gets compensation from the Federation."

"We accept compensation! We accept compensation!"

The woman hurriedly said.

She had already realized Su Yang intended to protect Xia Na.

Getting compensation was already very good!

She didn't truly want Xia Na to die—she wanted the compensation.

Her husband was a mercenary, the family's main pillar.

With the main pillar gone, the family had no major income source—she had to support her son and daughter!

Two million, if spent carefully, could buy them a shop.

Combined with their previous savings, they could rent out property or run a small business.

If they saved, they could at least feed the whole family.

But not everyone was satisfied with this.

A thirteen-year-old boy stood up and shouted loudly: "I don't want compensation—I want that woman to die, to pay for my father's life!"

Su Yang quietly gave orders to the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly.

"Think carefully—you haven't awakened as a Beast Tamer, and you still have a mother to support. This matter—Xia Na is at fault, but not deserving of death. Take the compensation, learn a skill, start a small business, care for your family, and keep living. Isn't that better?"

An old woman with red, tear-stained eyes pulled at the boy.

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly subtly influenced the boy—the boy silently lowered his head.

No one noticed the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly had acted.

Not even Mi Shan.

Su Yang didn't think what he did was wrong.

It was better for both sides.

If Xia Na died, it would satisfy their anger.

But then what?

After these mercenaries died, they received no compensation.

If Xia Na died, who would pay?

Xia Na whispered: "Lord Su, I don't have enough money to pay compensation!"

"I know you're broke!" Su Yang said indifferently. "Last time I saved your life, didn't you give me a Green Yushan Marrow to thank me? That Green Yushan Marrow is worth over a hundred million. For the sake of that Green Yushan Marrow, I'll cover your compensation now—you can pay me back later when you earn money."

Su Yang turned to the mercenary families: "Think carefully—if Xia Na dies, your compensation might vanish!"

With the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's influence and money paving the way, no one dared object.

Mi Shan also stood up and said: "Enough. Since you have no objections, it's decided. Go to the Lord Mayor's building to register—I, this city's lord, guarantee with my honor that the compensation will reach your hands in full!"

Su Yang looked at Xia Na, her face covered in blood. "Lord Mi, send someone to take her and clean her up."

"Understood!"

Over a meal in Xincheng, Su Yang learned that Mi Shan had risked everything to seize the Black-Winged Cloud Tiger cub to prepare a pet for his grandson.

His son had not awakened as a Beast Tamer, so under his arrangement, his son married a female Beast Tamer.

Then his grandson awakened as a Beast Tamer.

His grandson is twenty-three and already a Gold-Level Beast Tamer.

That's why he went after the Black-Winged Cloud Tiger—to train his grandson.

Midway through the meal, Xia Na was brought over by Mi Shan's subordinates.

Xia Na looked utterly defeated, her forehead wound neatly bandaged.

She wore a beautiful dress, elaborately adorned, and stepped into the room in high heels.

This was vastly different from her previous attire.

The moment she entered, Su Yang caught the scent of an expensive perfume.

"You should eat something too."

"Mm!"

Xia Na picked up the bowl and, as if resigned to her fate, began eating in large bites.

As the meal neared its end, Su Yang reminded her: "Mayor Mi, have you tallied the number of people requiring compensation?"
