Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 113 A One-Man Drama

The scorching sun burned the bluestone-paved streets, and the steaming heat waves distorted the charred plaque of the Yongsheng Chamber of Commerce.

Gula narrowed his eyes. The cold light reflected from the city defense army's black iron armor stung his eyes, and they stared at the three people who had broken into the vicinity with bright eyes.

"He who comes is stopped!"

The city defense troops stopped Gula and the other two. The leading soldier was a Soul King. He looked at the boy and girl's clothing and said calmly, "Do you know this arsonist?"

"he is my classmate."

Seeing that they didn't bring up their backers, the officer showed impatience: "What's your business? Let his elders go to the City Defense Department to pay the fine, then no one will be hurt. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his soldiers took out black iron shackles and locked Ma Hongjun's wrists with a "click". Ma Hongjun's soul power was sealed, and he was at his mercy like an ordinary person.

Dai Mubai heard the news and caught up with them at some point. He approached Gula and whispered:

"We can't let them take Fatty away. Otherwise, when the dispute arises, the culprits will be unclear and it will be difficult to say whether they are right or wrong."

"Besides, those shady tactics used in the prison can make people go in and be carried out standing. We have to find out who is behind the sale of fake medicine."

He was influenced by the nobles and understood how they treated their enemies. Now that Ma Hongjun was in prison, he didn't know what kind of abuse he would suffer.

Gula turned his head and looked at Dai Mubai with shock: Burning down a chamber of commerce and two shops is not considered wrong?

You are too protective of your own shortcomings!
However, this is also the norm in the fantasy world. Mortals will break the rules to protect their relatives and friends, let alone the strong who have great power.

Gula spread his hands and said, "What can I do? Take the fat guy back from the City Defense Bureau? And then get arrested together? And they say he's the mastermind behind it. Do you think he'd be so stupid as to reveal himself?"

He even suspected that Yongsheng Chamber of Commerce was one of the chambers of commerce that sold fake medicine. Such a plan to defraud soul masters of their money could not be implemented without a backer.

Dai Mubai paused for a moment. During training, Gula had the final say, which made him accustomed to relying on her. Now, if he thought about it carefully, what could a group of "commoners" like them do now?
Gula has the money to compensate Ma Hongjun for the losses caused, but on what basis?
He had no obligation to pay for Ma Hongjun's mistakes and compensate the three shops in the core area of ​​Tiandou City. Even he would feel bad.

Gula sighed. He hadn't wanted to cheat.

His eyes fell on Ma Hongjun, penetrating time and space, and saw that three days later, the other party was still alive and kicking, but his complexion was listless and there was nothing serious.

Going upstream along the time, Gula paused slightly when he saw Xue Qinghe's figure.

'Emperor Xue Ye is about to hold a title-conferring ceremony, and she still has time to pay attention to me. Haha, if I didn't know her identity, I would really be moved by her humble behavior.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the officer was about to take Ma Hongjun away, Gula took half a step forward to stop the escort team, and a blue light bloomed in the depths of his pupils.

The officer vaguely saw the depth in the boy's eyes and stopped involuntarily.

Gula stepped forward to delay time, "Sir, my friend made a mistake and he deserves to be punished."

"But Yongsheng Chamber of Commerce was also at fault. The medicinal herbs they sold were counterfeit. My friend acted out of anger. He should at least arrest them as well."

He thought about it and decided that if he wanted to break the impasse himself, he had to make things bigger. Otherwise, without external help, a group of Soul Lords would not be able to fight against the thousand-year system of the Tiandou Empire.

Gula's eyes released hypnosis, and the officer, a Soul King, couldn't resist it at all. He nodded dazedly: "What you said makes sense... Both are wrong."

The owner of the Yongsheng Chamber of Commerce could no longer sit still. He stepped out of the crowd and refuted, "This is a lie, misleading the people. My lords, please be aware that the ambergris he burned was a birthday gift for Prince Xuexing!" He bowed towards the imperial palace and said, "How dare this man openly slander the century-old reputation of the Yongsheng Chamber of Commerce? I have reason to suspect he's a spy sent by the Xingluo Empire to sabotage the business environment of the Tiandou Empire."

"Master Li, don't be fooled by him, capture him quickly!"

The Chamber of Commerce's owner immediately accused Gula of a heinous crime.

"Shut up."

Gula turned his head. Within ten meters, the gravity fell only on the owner of the Chamber of Commerce. Although the other party was a soul master, his cultivation was only at the level of a three-ring soul master. He neglected training and almost fell to his knees under the ten times gravity.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand upright, his skin flushed red. "How dare you commit a crime in the street? The city defense forces have arrested him!"

Gula shrugged. "Who did it? Did you see me summon my martial spirit and unleash my spirit skills? You should stop talking nonsense. Look at you, you can't even stand steadily. You must have taken too many fake medicines."

"you you!"

The Chamber of Commerce manager pointed at Gula, furious. He asked him to manage the Chamber of Commerce. He was good at conducting business battles, but when it came to verbal battles, he could only rely on his subordinates.

There was a crisp "crack" sound. The shopkeeper was also a ruthless man. He didn't believe that Gula dared to kill people in public, so he gave up the soul power confrontation.

The ten times gravity pressed down on his knees, causing them to hit the bluestone slabs hard. The people around him exclaimed and looked at Gula with vigilance and alertness.

Gula's eyes became fierce, damn it, playing me!
Isn't it said that everyone in Douluo Continent is an idiot, and setting fire to grain is considered a strategy worthy of praise?

Why is it that whenever he comes to this place, any shopkeeper acts like a cunning person?

Gula showed impatience as he thought about hypnotizing hundreds of people on the street... He had enough mental strength to support hundreds of consciousnesses, but he would probably be mentally exhausted.

Flanders, if you don't come again, I won't take care of your disciples anymore.

He repeatedly hypnotized the officer, but the officer ignored the kneeling shopkeeper and emphasized:

"Article 324 of the Tiandou Law." The voice, wrapped in soul power, spread out, startling the birds cooing on the eaves.

"The false accuser is guilty of the crime. Are you sure you want to accuse them of being spies?"

The shopkeeper was in a bad situation for a while, and finally realized that something was wrong with the officer. The Yongsheng Chamber of Commerce often paid tribute to the City Defense Bureau, so the other party would not target him for such a small role.

"It's you……"

The shopkeeper looked at Gula, but his kneeling posture was really unsightly.

He tried to struggle to stand up, but Gula increased his strength. Since you want to kneel, then just keep kneeling.

By the way, I hypnotized the shopkeeper. He lowered his head, looked guilty, and whispered, "I won't sue."

Most of the people watching the excitement were soul masters, and they hissed softly. Few of them paid attention to whether Gula had taken action in the street.

Gula smiled slightly. Isn't this the problem? Although it is a bit simple and crude, as long as his hypnosis deletes the memories of the two people, they will regard these words as their own and just think that they were upset at the time.

The officer snorted coldly, "Hmph! You're wasting my time. You're the victim this time, so I'll let you go. If you do it again, I'll definitely send you to jail."
