Chapter 1828: Begging for Mercy
A graceful snow leopard abruptly appeared beside Qiao Mu.
In the blink of an eye, it bit into a lackey’s throat before flinging him far away.
The others behind Ma Ta also joined the fight without any hesitation.
The six spiritual cultivators’ nimble movements made short work of the five lackeys Zhang Wudan had called forth.
They manipulated spiritual energy in their hands as they gazed coldly at Young Sir Zhang and Tie Feng, whose faces had drained of color.
Zhang Wudan backed away in panic as he asked cowardly, “Who, who are you, people?”
“People who will take your life.” Ma Ta’s water ball smashed Zhang Wudan’s chest without warning. He got smacked flying backwards and crashed onto the deck, making him roll back and forth in pain.
Afterwards, Ma Ta stepped onto Zhang Wudan’s back, and he drew a dagger from his sleeve, tracing it along Zhang Wudan’s horrified face. “I told you not to act so arrogant. Have you encountered people you shouldn’t offend now, hm?”
Zhang Wudan gazed in horror at this man who had charming features yet exuded the air of a delinquent.
This person really did not hold back. Zhang Wudan nearly screamed from fear as the other party ran that chilly dagger along his cheeks.
“Don-Don’t kill us, don’t kill us.” Tie Feng knelt in terror as he begged for mercy. “W-We were blind to not know about your presence. Pl-Please let us off. M-My dad is Shuntian Prefecture’s senior manager…”
*Slap!* Qiao Mu slapped Tie Feng’s left cheek from a distance, and a sharp glint flitted across her eyes. “A mere manager of the Shuntian Prefecture dares to exert clout on me?”
“Strip him and toss him to feed the fishes,” the little lady ordered expressionlessly.
“Alrighty!” Ma Ta laughed out loud, and he kicked Tie Feng, who was crawling forward panickedly, in the head. He then lifted him up by the scruff of his neck like a chick before making large strides forward.
“No, don’t, don’t!” Tie Feng really was p.i.s.sing his pants in terror…
His face was even whiter than a corpse’s!
He bawled to the high heavens while begging for mercy. “Young masters and ladies, this humble one was blind. This humble one will never do this again. Please, please let me off this time. Wuwuwuwu.”
“Wait! Wait up, wait!!!” The captain came running up onto the deck upon being informed.
His expression immediately changed when he saw Ma Ta holding Tie Feng by one hand and positioning him outside the mast.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t! Young Sirs and Ladies, please be merciful!” The captain nearly died from fright.
Afterall, these two were not just any ordinary people.
One was the third son of Shuntian Prefecture’s senior general manager, while the other was of even more ill.u.s.trious background—the second son of Hongyuan Island’s Island Lord.
If anything were to happen to these two while on his s.h.i.+p, would those two families let him off?
They would be sure to tear him to shreds!
“Tsk.” Ma Ta questioned that captain with a chortle, “You want to stick your nose into this matter? Are you able to though?”
The captain cupped his hands with an obsequious smile, “Everyone, let us calm down and keep an even temper! For those of us from afar who’re traveling away from home, one more friend means another opportunity, no? It is truly unwise for you to go against Shuntian Prefecture and Hongyuan Island.”
“Haha. Who cares whether it is Shuntian Prefecture or Hongyuan Island, anyone who offends this lord is out of luck.”
