Silver Overlord

After hustling and bustling for less than ten minutes, right in front of a thousand onlookers on the street, an unexpected and dramatic scene unfolded before them...

Commandant Su came out from the huge manor Ye Xiao was in along with a few soldiers. Commandant Su’s face, which had always been black, was a few shades darker than the bottom of a frying pan at this moment.

Two weeping girls were escorted between Commandant Su and the few soldiers.

After Commandant Su came out, a big group of Wanderers and a few of those people who had just rushed inside came out with Ye Xiao and a few of his guards in tow.

The upper half of Ye Xiao’s body was bare and he was only wearing a pair of shorts. His face was swollen with a bloody nose and there were two bleeding wounds on his shoulder and hand. He appeared to be in an awkward predicament. Both his hands were twisted behind his back by the two Wanderers walking behind him. With his pale skin exposed, he was shivering in the cold wind of the night...

Even in such a situation, Ye Xiao was still struggling while barking like a mad dog until his voice was hoarse and exhausted.

"YOU GUYS ARE DEAD MEAT! DEAD MEAT! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? MY FATHER IS THE PINGXI PREFECTURAL GOVERNOR, YE TIANCHENG...! I AM YE XIAO! JUST YOU WAIT... I WILL REMEMBER ALL OF YOU... THOSE WHO HAVE BARGED IN HERE TONIGHT, NONE OF YOU SHALL ESCAPE! YOU, WANDERERS, AND ALSO YOU... THE BLACK-FACED COMMANDANT... AND YOU MOB OF PEOPLE... WAIT AND SEE HOW I WILL FINISH YOU ALL... I WILL HAVE MY FATHER DECAPITATE YOU ALL!!"

The onlookers who had gathered around the main streets were waiting here to see if King Cobra had been captured. However, King Cobra was nowhere in sight. Instead, they saw a half-naked young lord seized by a few Wanderers in a pathetic state. All of them were dumbstruck, completely clueless about what was happening. How did this group of people end up capturing the Prefectural Governor’s young lord? And why were the soldiers on the side actually not in the least bit concerned about it?

Ye Xiao was pushed out the door and he actually recognized someone among the group of bailiffs who were maintaining orders on the main street outside. He started yelling as though he had found his last straw to clutch at.

"CONSTABLE ZHOU, SAVE ME! ARREST THE MOB AND THE WANDERERS!!"

When the person who appeared to be the leader among the bailiffs saw Ye Xiao seized by a group of Wanderers, his countenance instantly contorted. Without thinking, he unsheathed the saber hanging on his waist and charged towards them. "What are you guys doing? How dare you?! Release Young Master Ye this instant...!"

Whoosh...

"AHHH..!!" Constable Zhou let out a blood-curdling scream before he fell on the ground after taking two steps. Unbeknownst to anyone, an arrow had pierced his thigh. The feather fletching of that arrow was still vibrating in the air. The few bailiffs in the city who were about to charge forward behind Constable Zhou instantly and involuntarily changed expressions when they saw Constable Zhou take an arrow and fall to the ground.

Two Wanderers stood on top of the courtyard wall of that huge mansion with bows in their hands as they stared coldly at the few bailiffs. Their arrows were aimed at them.

Countless onlookers in the surroundings were suddenly in an uproar when they saw that the Wanderers actually dared to point their arrows at the bailiffs of the city.

"A-ARE YOU ALL THINKING OF REBELLING?!" Constable Zhou who was on the ground yelled at those Wanderers, trying to be tough on the outside while he was all weak on the inside.

"Quit trying to scare us, we’re not going to be daunted by you." One of the Wanderers who seized Ye Xiao sneered coldly. He then scanned the crowd of onlookers on the street and loudly announced, "Ye Xiao, the son of the Pingxi Prefectural Governor, Ye Tiancheng, is colluding with Shatu people to abduct girls in the city. They are delivered from the secret underground tunnel in the boutique at the side to the basement of this manor for his degenerate pleasures. He is cultivating nefarious techniques to establish his foundations. When we barged inside, we caught him red-handed and found irrefutable evidence. Many of the soldiers of Pingxi City who barged in also witnessed it. Those two girls had been delivered here after they were abducted by the Shatu people outside of Pingxi City today. If we had gone in a bit late, they would have been violated by this beast. According to the Great Han Empire, the culprit and accomplices will be sentenced to capital punishment without any exception for cases including female abduction and rape. Half of the culprit’s family properties will be confiscated while the other half will be rewarded to the captor. This beast, Ye Xiao, has already been caught by us. If anyone dares to snatch him from us, don’t blame us for any consequences that might happen to you..."

The few thousand onlookers around the street were stunned when they heard the Wanderer speak before all of them and they instantly erupted with curses...

"YOU BEAST...!"

"No wonder many girls have gone missing in Pingxi City every year for the past two years. It must be the work of this brat and the Shatu people...!"

"Right, and this is definitely not the first time. This beast even dug an underground tunnel to pull the wool over people’s eyes...!"

In the midst of everyone’s curses, a desperate voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. "Caixia, Caifeng, why are both of you here...?!"

A man tried to squeeze his way through the crowd while yelling desperately. He shouted loudly at those girls who were escorted by Commandant Su and the few guards.

When two bailiffs were about to intercept the man, he suddenly shouted again. "LET ME THROUGH, THEY’RE MY YOUNGER SISTERS!!"

"BIG BROTHER...!" The two girls immediately wailed when they saw the man and ran towards him.

The moment the two bailiffs who were blocking the man hesitated, the man instantly broke through them and rushed over to pull both girls to him. "Why are both of you here? You’ve been out of the city the whole day and never returned until so late. Mother and Father were worried sick and had me come out to find both of you!"

"We don’t know either. Little Sister and I went outside the city to pray, but on our way home, we bumped into a few Shatu men. They suddenly pulled a sack over our heads and then the rest was a blur to us. When we woke up just now, we were down there, locked up by someone. They were about to drug Little Sister and I. If it weren’t for those soldiers and Mister Wanderers, we probably wouldn’t have gotten another chance to see Father, Mother, and you again, Big Brother..."

As the three of them spoke, they hugged each other on the streets and wept.

The scene stirred the hearts of countless onlookers who also felt a little afraid — fortunately, it wasn’t their family members who had fallen into the hands of that beast...

Just then, another commotion erupted in the huge manor. A Wanderer rushed out from the huge manor and yelled to everyone outside. "There’s a dried up well at the back of this huge manor under a rock garden. We just removed the rock and found more than ten female skeletons in that well...!"

"YOU... MOBS... AND LOWLIVES... I AM THE PREFECTURAL GOVERNOR’S SON... WHEN MY FATHER COMES, I WILL HAVE HIM DECAPITATE ALL OF YOU..."

Ye Xiao was still shouting like a fool at this moment, threatening everyone around him.

The crowd of onlookers exploded completely.

"LET’S BEAT THE SH*T OUT OF THIS ANIMAL!!!"

"HELL YES, BEAT HIM TO DEATH!!!"

"BEAT HIM TO DEATH!!"

"KILL THIS SON OF A B*TCH WHO HAS DEVASTATED THE LIVES OF COMMONERS...!"

The angry crowd surged forward like a tide. In just a flash, they broke through the defense of the ring of bailiffs and charged towards Ye Xiao. Even those bailiffs seemed to only be putting up an act. They had no plans to stop them at all...

"YOU BEAST!!" The big brother of those two girls raised his head, showing bloodshot eyes. He was the first to rush in front of Ye Xiao to deliver a hard punch to his face which instantly knocked two of his teeth out.

When black-faced Commandant Su saw the angry crowd pouring forth, he was prepared to order his subordinates to stop them. However, one of the soldiers beside him secretly tugged his sleeve. With a low voice, he said, "Sir, if Ye Xiao lives, you will be the one in trouble. If he dies now, this will be a solid court case that will have nothing much to do with you, Sir..."

"F*ck!" Upon hearing that, Commandant Su swore under his breath and remained motionless.

Looking at the fuming crowd charging towards him, Ye Xiao’s countenance contorted for real.

The two Wanderers that were holding him exchanged looks. A cold gleam flashed across their eyes. One of them suddenly balled up his fist and with a Drilling Fist technique, he silently punched Ye Xiao’s lower back. Ye Xiao instantly paled and coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. The two Wanderers then conveniently pushed him into the angry crowd charging towards him...

It was just as what the soldier beside Commandant Su had said: if Ye Xiao were beaten to death by these countless commoners in Pingxi City right now, everything that had transpired tonight would lead to an indisputable case. If someone were to reverse the verdict for Ye Xiao, countless citizens of Pingxi City would be branded as criminals. Who would dare to do so? Wouldn’t they worry that this might provoke the commoners to rebel? If Ye Xiao died, then the Wanderers would definitely be rewarded for their work and the only thing they had to do was wait for the Great Han Empire’s authorities to award them. If Ye Xiao was alive, who knew what his father, Ye Tiancheng, would do? These Wanderers were all well-acquainted with the ways of the world, so they naturally could already see it coming.

Shi Dafeng was eager to participate too. Just when he was about to charge in there, Yan Liqiang held him back by his arm and shook his head at him.

Seeing those soldiers remain motionless and the Wanderers pushing Ye Xiao out, Yan Liqiang was certain that Ye Xiao didn’t have to wait until tomorrow to have a court trial because he would undoubtedly die tonight.

With the crowd’s rage that was boiling like a volcano, let alone a second-generation rich kid like Ye Xiao, even Benito Mussolini would die.

It was best for Ye Xiao to die now. Otherwise, by the time Ye Tiancheng arrived, Yan Liqiang was 100% certain he would definitely put on the act of upholding justice and righteousness even at the sacrifice of blood relations here without any hesitation...

A valiant soldier who rushed forward to shield Constable Zhou’s head was instantly trampled by countless feet all over his head and body. If it weren’t for the two bailiffs on the side who quickly pulled him out and to the back, he probably would’ve been killed in the stampede. Nevertheless, Constable Zhou was already on the verge of death

"YOU BEAST!!!"

"BEAT HIM TO HIS DEATH!"

"FOR THE LADIES WHO WERE MURDERED BY THIS BEAST!!"

Countless people snarled at Ye Xiao, and each of them had their fists raised high in the air. Ye Xiao’s figure was akin to a leaf caught in a violent storm and rolling waves as it disappeared in the crowd in just the blink of an eye.

In the beginning, Yan Liqiang could still hear Ye Xiao’s miserable shrieks from afar. Merely a minute later, he could no longer hear his voice...

"Why are the three of you here?" Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Yan Liqiang and the rest.

The moment the three of them turned their heads around, they saw that Shi Changfeng had already arrived in his fluttery white clothes unbeknownst to them. He looked at them with his sparkling eyes...
