Chapter 316: Did I Tell You That You Could Move?

"Of course, please come in."

After hearing Yingzhou's reply, Lu Wang entered the tent and discovered the pig-headed man shivering on the ground; he truly looked just as the City Defense soldiers had described, completely unrecognizable.

Subsequently, Lu Wang looked toward Yingzhou and asked.

"Chief Yingzhou, what happened here?"

Yingzhou did not hide anything and told Lu Wang what he had seen. Although Lu Wang had long known of the nobles' actions in his heart, upon seeing Yingzhou's angry appearance, he could only follow Yingzhou's lead.

"He certainly deserves a beating; only in this way can the security of the Inner City be taken to the next level."

Lu Wang looked at the fallen pig-headed man and even gave him a light kick; seeing that the other party reacted but dared not move, Lu Wang gained a new understanding of Yingzhou's methods.

"His family will be here to collect him in a moment. How do you intend to resolve this, Chief Yingzhou?"

Seeing Lu Wang bring this up, Yingzhou patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"Lu Wang, I know what you are worried about. This matter was caused by me, so naturally, I will resolve it."

"Chief Yingzhou, that is not what I meant..."

Before Lu Wang could finish his sentence, he heard a voice coming from outside the tent.

"Is Chief Yingzhou inside? I am here to find my younger brother."

Lu Wang said nothing more and stood to one side, prepared to watch how Yingzhou handled this matter.

Seeing this, Yingzhou cleared his throat and said.

"Come in."

Originally, Yingzhou's expression was quite normal, but after the person entered the tent, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he then struggled to control the expression on his face.

A man with a center-parted hairstyle walked into the tent, wearing a black and white striped shirt; the slim-fit trousers on his lower body made Yingzhou feel a wave of emotion, as he possessed the bearing of an old acquaintance.

"You must be Chief Yingzhou, right? I am Cai Ji. I have come for my good-for-nothing younger brother—Cai Nianwu. He must have offended you in some way to have received your punishment."

After Cai Ji entered the tent, he identified the figure of the Military District Chief at a glance; the 3-meter-tall giant, even while sitting cross-legged on the ground, possessed an oppressive presence like a mountain.

However, why did his expression look so awkward?

Upon seeing Yingzhou's stifled laughter, Cai Ji was confused, but he still politely explained his purpose to Yingzhou.

He glanced at Cai Nianwu, who was lying on the ground not daring to move, his face already swollen into a pig's head, and felt a wave of astonishment in his heart.

It was his first time seeing his own brother beaten into a pig's head; it seemed Cai Nianwu had taken quite a beating here.

But after Cai Ji finished speaking, the tent fell into silence. Cai Ji waited for Yingzhou's answer, Lu Wang observed Yingzhou's expression from the side, Cai Nianwu lay on the ground not daring to move, and Yingzhou was trying hard not to laugh out loud.

After about 150 seconds, Yingzhou rubbed his cheeks with his right hand, as they were aching from holding back laughter, and spoke his first sentence.

"I understand. Your name is Cai Ji, right? Your brother did not offend me, but his actions made me feel angry."

"That is certainly true. I will definitely go back and discipline him well; I won't let him do such stupid things again! Quickly, apologize to Chief Yingzhou!"

As Cai Ji spoke, he kicked the lying Cai Nianwu, who let out a muffled groan, a sound emerging from his swollen face.

"Chief Yingzhou, I... I was wrong. Please... spare me. I will never... dare to do it again!"

"Chief Yingzhou, look, this isn't a big deal. How about we turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing?"

But Yingzhou's next words caused the smile on Cai Ji's face to stiffen.

"No, he doesn't know he was wrong; he is just afraid. There is no need to take him home to discipline him, because I never intended to let him go back."

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Cai Nianwu became anxious; he looked back at Cai Ji, crawled toward him, and squeezed out a few words through his lips.

"Big... brother, save... me!"

"Who told you to move?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Nianwu shuddered all over. He looked back to see Yingzhou had slowly stood up, and he was so scared he continued to beg for mercy.

"I... was wrong! Re... really."

Cai Ji hurriedly tried to persuade Yingzhou, blocking the way in front of Cai Nianwu as he said.

"Chief Yingzhou, do not be impulsive. This serves no purpose other than venting anger; there is no need to do this!"

Yingzhou looked down at Cai Ji, who was blocking the way in front of Cai Nianwu, and spoke slowly.

"Do you want to be punished along with your brother?"

"I... I..."

Cai Ji could not say a word for a long time. The pressure Yingzhou gave him at this moment was simply too strong. As Yingzhou gradually approached, he began to retreat until he cleared a path for Yingzhou.

Yingzhou no longer felt like laughing. The feeling Cai Ji had just given him was like the rhetoric used by parents in his past life when shielding their children—it sounded somewhat reasonable, but in reality, it was just an attempt to gloss over the matter.

Seeing Cai Ji clear a path, Yingzhou walked in front of Cai Nianwu and glanced at Lu Wang, who was watching the show, seeing that the other party had no intention of interfering.

He then squatted down, straightened Cai Nianwu's trembling head, and said in a deep voice.

"You despise life and treat humans like objects; you are nothing but a monster in human skin and do not deserve to be called human! I believe you must have done this many times to harm others without hesitation, so have you prepared yourself to be tortured as well?"

Cai Nianwu's head was held straight by Yingzhou; he wanted to speak, but could not muster any strength.

Yingzhou's arm began to exert force. With a sound of bones shattering, Cai Nianwu's collarbone was crushed. Upon feeling the excruciating pain, Cai Nianwu's pupils instantly dilated, and after a muffled groan, he went still.

Cai Ji witnessed everything from the side, his body already trembling uncontrollably. The bold words and beautiful fantasies he had before coming were shattered at this moment; his entire body was filled with fear, as if Yingzhou were a terrifying monster.

No, he is a monster! He is completely impossible to communicate with!

"Hey, you, Cai Ji. Go back and tell those so-called nobles that their good days are over. I will settle the score for the things they have done, one by one! If humans want to avoid being crushed by the Alien Race, they must first get rid of the parasites among them!"

Yingzhou stood up, looked down at the trembling Cai Ji, and said in an icy tone.

Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, Cai Ji began to gasp for air as if he had just been granted permission to breathe.

"Huff... huff... huff... Chief Yingzhou, I will definitely take your words back exactly as they were said."

"That would be best."

Only after Cai Ji walked out of the City Defense camp did he realize his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his arms and calves were still trembling uncontrollably.

"Too terrifying. Is he really a human?"
