The soldiers beside him broke out in cold sweat and kept explaining, but Huang Mohong was dead set on making trouble for Huo Hai. No matter how they explained, he refused to listen, instead hurling barbed insults and cursing the mulberry tree while pointing at the locust tree.
Huo Hai had no interest in wasting any more breath with him. He asked calmly, "Who are you? You say I'm an idle outsider—on what grounds? Give me a reason." Huo Hai's voice was exceptionally gentle. Hearing him speak that way, Huang Mohong became even more delighted. To him, it meant Huo Hai had backed down.
Huang Mohong immediately grew even more arrogant. "If I say you are, then you are. Who told you to barge in whenever you pleased? Don't you know the city is under martial law? You still dared enter through the main gate—do you even understand the rules of Western Frontier City?"
Huo Hai replied mildly, "Then where was I supposed to enter? A side gate? As far as I know, Western Frontier City doesn't have one."
Huang Mohong looked disdainful. "Of course it doesn't. But you still can't use the main gate. Getting in is easy—just dig yourself a dog hole and crawl through it. It's not as though people like you are of any high standing. Hahaha..."
Hearing Huang Mohong's words, Huo Hai's eyes narrowed slightly, and killing intent surged in his heart. It was not only Huo Hai—the soldiers behind him were filled with hatred as well. They had risked their lives to hold back the Demonfolk Army, yet when they finally returned, not only had they received none of the treatment heroes deserved, they were even subjected to such humiliation. The soldiers were on the verge of no longer being able to endure it.
