Seeing Qu Jianlei fire two more shots, Flower Scorpion turns her head to once again look at Spencer.
She speaks calmly, "You have a chance to reorganize your words."
The old man hesitates for a moment, then gives a bitter smile, "Ma’am, if I truly had money to compensate you, would I need to do such a disgraceful thing?"
Flower Scorpion coldly replies, "So... you’re saying you’re useless?"
"Useful, of course I’m useful!" Spencer answers without hesitation, "I’m very familiar with the Settlement and nearby camps."
As a Boss Level figure among adventurers, Flower Scorpion doesn’t lack experience in dealing with these idle characters.
She knows well that even the most insignificant person can have value—otherwise, they wouldn’t commit so many misdeeds.
So she isn’t surprised by Spencer’s answer, just slightly raises her chin, "Wait over there."
However, her attitude seems a bit arrogant, which also annoys a middle-aged woman.
The woman mutters softly, "Outsiders... do they need to be so ostentatious?"
The next moment, a white flash occurs, as Flower Scorpion pulls the trigger of her Laser Gun.
The woman’s hair bun is instantly scattered, and her face turns pale.
Flower Scorpion coldly states, "Say one more word of nonsense, and my next shot will kill you!"
She’s usually cautious in her actions, but at this point, mere caution isn’t enough.
Black Heaven wishes to settle here; first impressions are crucial. If perceived as weak, future troubles will be endless.
They originally had no intention of intimidating anyone, but even before entering the camp, someone opportunistic approached them.
Ultimately, it was the other’s reckless behavior that forced Flower Scorpion to adopt a strong stance; she had no choice.
The woman touches her disheveled hair, wanting to say something, but her lips move without words.
Tears uncontrollably stream down her face, and she begins to cry.
Those watching the commotion also cease their chatter, silence enveloping the area. They didn’t expect these outsiders to be so fierce.
Qu Jianlei’s performance was remarkable, yet Flower Scorpion’s response was comparable.
The precision of the Laser Gun is high, but to shoot and disperse a hair bun with such ease is exceptional marksmanship.
The Zhou Six Residence Area lacks not in Hunters; many have sharp eyesight.
Though these outsiders are just a small team of four, at least two are top-notch experts.
The little girl in the passenger seat might be slightly lacking, but who dares to bet that the driver isn’t skilled?
The Honest Camp often likes to teach outsiders a lesson, but it’s not as if they’ve never encountered formidable troublemakers.
Many adventurers come to Zhou Six seeking fortune, including those with wild and impractical ideas.
Yet, there are plenty of truly powerful individuals.
The Honest Camp suffered its worst setback when a team of three turned the entire camp upside down.
Of those three, two eventually died, but the Honest Camp lost more than thirty people.
However, that wasn’t the end; the following year, the one who managed to escape recruited ten or so experts for another attack on the Honest Camp.
Fortunately, two medium-sized Adventurer Groups were temporarily residing there, helping fend off the attack.
After sustaining heavy losses, the attackers retreated, but promised to return: "I’ll be back!"
This left the Honest Camp unable to cope; upon identifying the dead, they finally figured out who the troublemaker was.
Then, a representative of a powerful figure mediated, and the Honest Camp had to compensate heavily to barely settle the matter.
Therefore, seeing Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion so assertive, no one dared to stand against them for the time being.
Qu Jianlei ignored the crowd, beckoning to the trembling bandit, "Come here."
The bandit keenly approached, picking up and returning the silver coins scattered on the ground, "Sir." For original chapters go to noᴠelfire.net
Qu Jianlei pocketed the silver coins, "You’re bold to steal from me."
The bandit originally wanted to defend himself, but after opening his mouth, simply sighed, "It was my foolishness."
Qu Jianlei wasn’t good at socializing, usually speaking briefly, "Do you know how much the stuff in my car is worth?"
As soon as he said this, not just the bandit, but many onlookers changed expressions: Revealing one’s assets in an unfamiliar place?
Some quietly retreated, internally chiding themselves: Why did I bother getting involved in this mess?
These four surely can’t kill everyone here, but what if they’re just the vanguard?
The bandit understood this logic, trembling before quietly responding, "I only aimed for things of little value."
While the statement was true, it wasn’t wholly accurate; Qu Jianlei wasn’t interested in refuting him, so he glanced at Flower Scorpion, "You handle it."
Flower Scorpion’s response was straightforward, "Pay compensation, five hundred silver coins, no more than that."
The bandit’s face changed, smiling bitterly as he clasped his hands, "Ma’am, I don’t have that much on me."
Flower Scorpion wasn’t one for excessive conversation, but since Black Heaven’s leader wasn’t inclined to intervene, she had to step in.
So she gave a cold snort, "Do you doubt that the cargo on this truck isn’t worth five hundred silver coins?"
Just looking at the fully loaded light truck, with two top experts and full gear, could the cargo be worth less than five hundred silver coins?
Even a fool wouldn’t believe that, right?
The bandit didn’t dare argue more, only responding honestly, "Whatever you say, ma’am, I believe you."
"Believe..." Flower Scorpion looked him up and down, "Since you can’t pay, which hand used the hook just now?"
The bandit instinctively hid his right hand behind him, with a bitter expression, "Please spare me this time, ma’am... I have value."
