"Did you arrange this?"

Luo Junfeng spread his hands, about to speak.

But Chen Bin had already made his move!

Chen Bin suddenly swept out a palm, striking the officer directly in the face.

The immense force sent the officer flying, a full ten feet.

If someone hadn't happened to catch him, he probably would have crashed heavily to the ground.

"You dog! You really think you're somebody?"

Chen Bin already had no good feelings for these guys with Red Names above their heads, so he didn't hold back at all when he struck.

This slap directly made half of the officer's cheek swell up high. The officer spat out a mouthful of teeth, his face covered in blood.

This scene made countless people present tremble in fear.

He actually dared to make a move.

Chen Bin walked to the breakfast stall, found a chair, and said to the owner, "Boss, twenty meat buns, one bowl of white porridge."

The owner had never seen such a scene before.

He was so scared he was ready to abandon his stall and run.

He hadn't expected this fiend to walk up to his stall.

"Okay, okay." The owner quickly nodded, his movements instantly becoming three parts more agile.

Soon, the owner brought over the meat buns and white porridge, and said tremblingly, "Sir, please enjoy."

After saying that, he quickly retreated to the side, watching from afar.

Chen Bin, completely at ease, faced the officers of the Demon Suppression Division, chewing slowly, bite by bite.

When he got tired of eating, he took a sip of porridge to moisten his throat.

As he ate, his peripheral vision caught some of these officers swallowing, clearly looking famished.

Chen Bin observed the officers' haggard faces and hungry appearances, knowing they hadn't slept well last night and had been summoned early in the morning to escort him to the yamen.

At this moment, watching him eat, they must have been both angry and anxious.

But what did that have to do with him?

Chen Bin took a full fifteen minutes to finish eating.

Now that he was in the Qi Gathering Realm, his appetite had increased significantly.

After eating, he paid forty-one copper coins before getting up to leave.

The stall owner hurried forward, refusing to accept the money no matter what.

Seeing the owner's troubled expression, Chen Bin said, "If you don't take it, I'll have them smash your stall!"

He knew that for someone who was squeezed to the bone like this, he wouldn't dare to accept money without some harsh words.

The owner pursed his lips, his hands trembling as he held the money. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

By the time he came to his senses, Chen Bin was already surrounded by a group of Demon Suppression Division officers again.

"I'm so full!" Chen Bin rested his hands behind his head and looked at Luo Junfeng, asking, "Luo Junfeng, Captain Luo."

Luo Junfeng, having had his neck squeezed by Chen Bin, felt a bit embarrassed not to respond, so he said, "What is it?"

Chen Bin asked, "You guys haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"We officers must prioritize the court. We haven't finished the tasks assigned from above.

How can we dare to eat?"

"Very good, high level of awareness!"

You can't find the book by searching the title. You might try searching for the author. Maybe the title has just been changed!

Chen Bin nodded and clicked his tongue, saying, "So being your brother really means going hungry nine out of ten meals."

Chen Bin's words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the hearts of these officers.

However, they could only complain in their hearts, not daring to show even a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces.

The crowd moved in a vast procession towards the Demon Suppression Division, and soon arrived at their destination.

On the square in front of the Demon Suppression Division, stood eighteen thick pillars.

Atop these pillars hung the heads of eighteen monsters.

Occasionally, common folk would pass by the square, stopping to point at the monster heads, their expressions unreadable, unsure if they felt joy or sorrow.

Chen Bin merely glanced at them indifferently before striding directly towards the main gate of the Demon Suppression Division.

The atmosphere on the training ground was slightly tense.

Someone, with a displeased look, stepped forward and questioned Luo Junfeng, "Why did it take so long?"

Luo Junfeng subconsciously turned his head, his gaze lingering on Chen Bin for a moment, before saying, "Captain Chen Bin woke up late, there was nothing we could do!"

The person heard this and followed Luo Junfeng's gaze to Chen Bin.

Chen Bin was seen gripping his saber tightly, his eyes sharp and filled with a fierce glint as he stared directly at the person.

Now that Chen Bin had achieved Qi Gathering, how could he fear anyone?

The person probably remembered what happened last night and instantly froze as if under a spell, not daring to move.

Chen Bin broke the stalemate first, asking, "I heard the Banner Officer was looking for me. Where is he?"

"You're late. The Banner Officer went to see the General Banner!"

The person, already feeling stifled, inexplicably blurted out the truth.

Chen Bin's gaze swept rapidly around the crowd like lightning. He then strode out of the throng, found a quiet spot by the training ground, slowly sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

Everyone recalled the terrifying tiger corpse from last night and the events of this morning. For a moment, not a single person dared to step forward and stop him.

Inside the General Banner's office.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Last night, a major incident occurred at the Demon Suppression Division in Wanbao County. The top leader of the Demon Suppression Division, Wang Sheng, and his subordinates were gathered for a meeting.

Wang Sheng took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup, and his gaze, like a falcon's, swept across the Banner Officers present.

Ye Ming, Liu Wei, and Wang Yun, along with Wu Jingchuan, were civilian officials [Experience] and all trusted confidantes he had brought from Dongyang Prefecture.

Liu Wei and Wu Jingchuan were usually responsible for alternating guard duty at the Demon Suppression Division's yamen, while Wang Yun managed Shili Town.

At this moment, these two appeared the most composed and natural.

The remaining individuals were Kang Ronghao, responsible for the South Ward; He Yang, for the East Ward; Ding Jun, for the North Ward; and Wei Feng, for the West Ward.

Their expressions varied; some were so grim they looked like they could drip water, while others appeared relatively relaxed.

Wang Sheng took in all their expressions and then turned to Liu Wei, speaking slowly:

"Ah Wei, you were in charge of the cleanup last night. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Yes!" Liu Wei immediately stood up, bowed, and then said loudly:

"Last night, we, along with Captain Chen Bin under Kang Ronghao, worked together to slay eighteen Tiger Demons and one Wolf Demon.

The corpses of those demonic creatures are hanging outside the gate. I believe everyone has seen them."

"Too ostentatious!" Kang Ronghao couldn't help but interject.

"What does Little Banner Kang mean by that?" Liu Wei retorted.

"The Mountain Lord of South Mountain is coming out of the mountain!"

Kang Ronghao finished speaking, casually picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and began to drink.

Was this a veiled threat?
