Chapter 2467

The surrounding lords instantly fell silent.

A brief quiet fell around him.

Zhao Chi continued loudly:

"And you bastards!

"The White Tiger Regiment is your ally; look at what you're actually doing!

"Shubei Town belongs to the Break-World Army's Shubei Town, not your Black Tortoise Regiment's Shubei Town! Much less your Shubei General Corps' Shubei Town!

"Why can't I buy the Speed-Work Talisman?

"My transaction is reasonable! Legal! And by the rules! It fits your Black Tortoise Regiment's rules and the Break-World Army's rules!

"What? Do you, Shubei General Corps, intend to break the rules?

"Or do you simply not understand the rules?

"Even if I bought out this entire exchange, it's within my capability!

"What are you chirping and whining about?

"And why are you all blocking me? Want to rob me?

"Are you lords of the Break-World Army, or lords of the Heavenly King Army!?

"Truly lacking discipline, you bastards!

"I don't even know how your Corps Commander manages his subordinates; your ability is rotten, producing a bunch of scum!

"Want to pick a fight for no reason? Come on!

"I am Zhao Chi of the White Tiger Regiment, a Sergeant-level lord; if you want to fight, come try!

"Those who wish to challenge me, come freely; I have already opened the permissions.

"There is only one challenge mode: unrestricted life-or-death combat!

"Those who dare, open the system.

"Those who dare not, get lost!"

With these words spoken, the entire hall fell utterly silent.

Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes.

Even the staff transacting behind the counter stopped their work in shock, looking up at Zhao Chi.

One trader even stood up from his chair and looked over here.

Everyone was thinking one thing.

Who exactly is this person?

If he didn't know Chief Squadron Leader Meng Yuan and didn't know his strength, that would be one thing.

But now he dares to scold even the Corps Commander?

Saying the Corps Commander's management ability is rotten?

Producing a group of scum?

Is he really tired of living?

Does he dare speak so recklessly?

Is he truly mad?

Most importantly, he is merely a Sergeant? Just a town-level lord?

With such a low status, how can he be so arrogant?

If he hadn't announced his rank, his aura would have made one think he was at least a county-level Vice Corps Commander...

But precisely because of this, the surrounding lords were even more astonished.

He is not mad; he is a mad dog.

A true mad dog.

No one dares provoke a mad dog.

Most humans can actually defeat a mad dog, but the cost is too great.

Even if you kill the mad dog, you will surely be injured, and you must spend thousands on rabies vaccines; even with the vaccine, there is a risk of death; it is truly not worth it.

Some also say, a mop dipped in shit is invincible under heaven.

Everyone knows this is false, but this deterrent power is real.

Whether a student or an office worker, facing a madman holding a mop covered in shit, what should one do?

Charge up bravely, or stay away?

If one charges up bravely, the consequence is a face full of shit-mop, then wrestling with the madman in the shit.

No normal person would do this, right?

Even if you win... everyone can only remember that you fought a madman and got smeared face-to-face with shit.

This is exactly the situation now.

Facing a Sergeant-level lord who dares to speak like this, no one dares to advance.

If this were in the suburbs, many lords would dare to advance.

But this is not the suburbs.

This is the exchange hall of Shubei Town.

All the lords had some reservations.

And at this moment, Zhao Chi already switched to battle armor.

Holding a shield and a warhammer in hand, fully armed.

He raised the giant hammer, staring at the lord blocking the front.

"Get lost."

His tone was flat.

But his eyes were cold with killing intent.

That team leader was clearly startled and immediately stepped aside.

Once one team leader stepped aside, more quickly followed.

The team leaders trading on the second floor were all below the level of squad leader, the highest being vice squad leader.

Most team leaders were just ordinary members and group members, and they didn't actually want trouble either.

Earlier, when everyone was worked up and all the team leaders crowded around, it was because they saw Zhao Chi was alone, and a member of the White Tiger Group too, so of course their morale was high.

But now it was different.

Most of the team leaders' arrogance was truly doused on the spot.

Soon a path opened up in front of Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi gave a cold snort and walked away slowly.

Li Cheng was a little panicked.

He watched Zhao Chi's retreating back, truly not knowing what to do.

But he gritted his teeth and still followed Zhao Chi.

"Um... Mr. Zhao, please don't be angry.

"Of course we're not trying to rob you, we just want to talk with you.

"Actually, just now it was mainly because of the trader's mistake — they thought there was plenty of trading time, so they didn't lock in and reserve the item for the VIP in advance. After all, the trade only takes 1 minute. Who could have expected someone to just buy up 61,000 Swift Worker Talismans outright?

"So... if this really made the VIP angry, that would be a major incident, and our exchange would definitely deal with that trader.

"They actually have it pretty tough too, they don't earn much from their jobs, and if they get punished, the days ahead won't be easy.

"You wouldn't want that female trader to be punished because of you, would you?"

"Have a little pity on her?"

Zhao Chi was utterly speechless.

He couldn't help but retort:

"Because of me?

"Your mother... how the hell is her being punished because of me?

"Li Cheng, you're the supervisor of this exchange, how can you be this brain-dead too?

"Am I the one who's angry? Am I the one punishing her?

"It's your VIP who's angry and throwing a fit, your exchange punishing your employee — what does that have to do with me?

"Did I punish her?
