Good Thing I Knelt Fast Afterward
"May I ask what brings you three to invade my Maple City?"
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, the three of them were completely stunned. How had it become their fault now?
Tie Wu couldn't hold back any longer, his gaze fixed on Xiao Tian, and he said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Xiao, what do you mean by this?"
"Hall Master Xiao, you're mistaken. Maple City was ours three days ago, and you only arrived recently. It should be you who are invading us."
The Yin Gu Lao sinister gaze looked at Xiao Tian and spoke in a hoarse voice. The beautiful woman beside him had a flicker in her eyes, but chose not to speak.
"Han Feng's forces and Han Feng himself were both killed by our Free and Unfettered Hall. Maple City is our Free and Unfettered Hall's Spoils of War of war. What you're doing is tantamount to stealing our Spoils of War of war."
Xiao Tian's aura erupted instantly, pressing down on them directly.
"Dou... zong..." The three of them were instantly overwhelmed by Xiao Tian's aura, their bodies unable to stand upright, and cold sweat kept pouring down their foreheads.
After Xiao Tian withdrew his aura, the three of them collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Do you three still think what I said is wrong?" Xiao Tian Xiao Tian at them with a smile, but in their eyes, his smile was like the smile of a devil.
"This is a misunderstanding. Maple City naturally belongs to your Free and Unfettered Hall. We just noticed that you haven't taken over Maple City for a long time, so we're managing it for you temporarily to prevent it from becoming dilapidated due to unrest later."
Yin Gu Lao stood up, half-hunched over, and said with a dry laugh.
"Hehe, yes!" The beautiful woman quickly stood up, covering her mouth with a coquettish laugh. She bowed to Xiao Tian and said in a low voice, "That's right, Hall Master Xiao, this is all a misunderstanding. I will definitely come to apologize in person later, and you can do whatever you want with me then!"
"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, and we've managed Maple City well for you, we've done our part, even if we haven't made any great contributions. Can we leave now? Don't worry, we won't take even a single weed from Maple City with us."
Although Tie Wu looked like a burly, hot-tempered man, he wasn't without brains, and he quickly spoke up as well.
As for taking anything with him, he had no chance to take anything at all. His Storage Ring had been taken away, and all he had left was this set of clothes.
"Yes, yes, Hall Master Xiao, you are handsome, powerful, and renowned far and wide. Please, be magnanimous and forgive us as if we were nothing."
The beautiful woman kept talking, and in between, she didn't forget to demonstrate what it meant to have incredibly smooth, old shoulders.
"This matter isn't urgent. I've come here to discuss something with you."
Xiao Tian looked at the three people in front of him who were constantly saying nice things, and said.
"Hall Master Xiao, please speak. We are all listening."
The sexy woman kept closing the distance between herself and Xiao Tian, speaking in a coquettish voice.
Just as she was about to get close to Xiao Tian, a force knocked her away, and a seductive figure appeared beside Xiao Tian, her eyes coldly fixed on Su Mei.
Su Mei's body froze under Medusa's gaze, and the three of them felt their hair stand on end. What kind of trap had they run into? Four Dou Zong, who were rarely seen in the Black-Corner Region, had appeared in such a short time.
Xiao Tian looked at Medusa who had appeared, grabbed her hand, and made her sit next to him.
Medusa glanced at Xiao Tian, then obediently sat down beside him. Since there were outsiders present, she had to give them face.
"Alright, let's get back to our previous topic. I've come to you today to invite you to join my Free and Unfettered Hall. I wonder if you'd be willing."
"Of course, it's fine if you don't join; I won't lay a hand on you."
Xiao Tian chuckled and said, but he emphasized the last "I" more.
Medusa knew Xiao Tian Xiao Tian's strengths and weaknesses well, and upon hearing his words, she understood immediately, her eyes flashing with Killing Intent.
These three are indeed talented individuals; they speak so eloquently, and they aren't bad people themselves.
All three of them felt the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Tian, like a knife hanging over their heads.
Looking at Xiao Tian, who was all smiles, they felt the oppressive atmosphere in the air and secretly cursed him as a smiling tiger. They swallowed hard, exchanged glances, and only Tie Wu, who did not understand Xiao Tian's deeper meaning, spoke up:
"If we don't join, are you really willing to give up...?"
Before he could finish speaking, two respectful voices came from beside him:
"Greetings, Hall Master" x2
Tie Wu turned his head in a daze and saw that his two teammates were already kneeling on one knee. It was clear that the two respectful voices from before had come from their mouths.
Tie Wu stared at the two men with a head full of questions, but they completely ignored his gaze and looked at Xiao Tian with awe.
"Greetings, Hall Master." Seeing his teammate surrender without a fight, Tie Wu immediately slid to his knees and even kowtowed.
Xiao Tian was also surprised when he saw the three lively people. As expected of the three people who were the last to invest in Black-Corner Region.
"From now on, you will be a force under the command of the Free and Unfettered Hall. The Free and Unfettered Hall will have someone contact you. From now on, you will be Elder of the Free and Unfettered Hall. As for benefits, someone will explain them to you later."
Seeing that the three had already submitted, Xiao Tian didn't care whether it was genuine or just for show. As long as they witnessed the Yamato and benefits of the Free and Free and Unfettered Hall, they would eventually truly belong to it.
"This is a reward for you."
Xiao Tian looked at the three people in front of him, then flicked his hand, sending four Jade Bottle flying out of his hand. Two of them landed in front of Tie Wu.
Then Xiao Tian led Medusa outside.
The three of them watched as Xiao Tian left, their bodies went limp, and they sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Didn't he say he was unwilling and could let us go? Why are you all..." Tie Wu asked, looking at Yin Gu Lao and Su Mei.
Are you really stupid or just pretending? You were even more exaggerated than us just now.
Su Mei picked up the Jade Bottle in front of her, glanced at Tie Wu speechlessly, and said...
"I was only standing there because you all treated me like that; I'd be asking for death if I just stood there."
Tie Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with his previous behavior. In the Black-Corner Region, face was the least valuable thing compared to life.
"The Hall Master will indeed let us go, but he only said he would let us go. He didn't say anyone else would let us go. If we dare to refuse, the moment we leave Maple City, it will be our death. Didn't you see that the Dou Zong beside her are almost ready to kill us like chickens?"
Yin Gu Lao, also holding Jade Bottle, spoke.
Tie Wu recalled the previous scene and instantly understood. His throat bobbed involuntarily. Fortunately, he knelt down quickly, and it seemed like he hadn't lost out. He got two Jade Bottle for kneeling and kowtowing, while they only got one. He just didn't know what was inside.
He weighed the object in his hand, feeling it somewhat resembled a medicinal pill, and looked at the other two, saying:
"What do you think is in here? It's not something used to control us, is it?"
