Chapter 89 Stone Hits the Foot_1
After Yan Xing finished his reply, he spurred his prized horse to leave, seizing the opportunity while the military officer was momentarily stunned.
However, the officer reacted quickly, driving his own warhorse to continue blocking the path of Yan Xing’s steed, his face filled with confusion as he asked, "You know Miss Hibel?"
"Of course I know her, very well in fact!" Seeing the officer’s reaction, Yan Xing became even more certain that Hibel must have some significant status in Nuta City. He continued to bluff, figuring he might as well use the connection, "I have an appointment with Knight Hibel to assist her with a case. Do not hinder me and delay the important business between me and Knight Hibel."
At this time, Yan Xing did not want to cause any trouble in Nuta City, nor did he want to meet Hibel.
He only wished to quickly find Eden to liquidate the ceramic tableware he had on hand. Then, he needed to settle all the matters he had to deal with before the mercenary’s timed explosive went off and swiftly leave Nuta City.
Once back in my own Eternal Domain, with the Thunderous Swamp at my back and a Werewolf Great Army at my command, anyone looking for trouble would first have to figure out my relationship with the Swamp Tribe. And I, Sir, have ways to keep them utterly confused. Once I figure out this demonization of chickens... The vast grasslands would become Sir Yan Xing’s chicken farm.
Yan Xing once again invoked Hibel’s name, intending to forcefully depart.
But this officer was stubborn; he continued to block Yan Xing’s horse, saying, "If you have an appointment with Miss Hibel, then we shall escort you to her."
"There’s really no need...you need not trouble yourselves."
With a wave of his hand, the officer signaled to the more than a dozen armored infantry swordsmen who had come with him. They split into two rows, clearly intent on escorting Yan Xing’s party to find Knight Hibel.
The officer added, "There are too many Swamp Werewolves in your party. In order not to alarm the civilians of Nuta City, it is better that we escort you to Miss Hibel."
Yan Xing did not expect that he would be hoist with his own petard this time.
