Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 120: If it can't be saved, there's no need to try!

"You're not even close to them yet." Cheng Xiao thought for a moment:

"But your suggestion is indeed good, Bell, let's do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bell sprang into action, instantly appearing behind Siegfried.

That terrifying, commander-level aura instantly made the members of the Red Ornament Guild feel suffocated.

"Commander-level! It's a Commander-level!" the mage from the Crimson Ornament Guild exclaimed in surprise.

They wanted to run, but an invisible aura pressed down on them, making it hard for them to breathe. They trembled and knelt on the ground, unable to move.

The mages of the Red Ornament Guild are quite powerful; they are more than capable of dominating several nearby villages.

But in front of Cheng Xiao, they were no different from ants that could be crushed at will!

These underlings of the Red Ornament Guild watched helplessly as their leader endured the Ten Great Tortures.

Unfortunately, Nishigaku died after the final torture was administered, without a trace of life.

"How cruel, Captain, I'm scared~~~" Jiang Shaoxu seized the opportunity and immediately hugged Cheng Xiao's arm tightly.

Cheng Xiao flicked her forehead:

"Why didn't you call it cruel when you made this suggestion!"

Jiang Shaoxu covered her head and looked at him with a resentful gaze.

Those alluring, foxy eyes would surely have captivated anyone with weak willpower, making them willing to go through fire and water for her.

Unfortunately, the person standing in front of her was Cheng Xiao.

"Your little tricks won't work on me." Cheng Xiao deflected her charm.

Jiang Shaoxu laughed:

"I just wanted to show the captain how much I've learned in my training, after all, I've asked the captain for advice so many times~~~"

"That means you haven't learned anything I taught you!"

"The captain also bears some responsibility; he needs to teach me more in the future!"

""

Their voices echoed around them, and no one dared to interrupt them.

The members of the Red Ornaments Guild and the villagers of Xiaozhai looked at Cheng Xiao as if he were a monster.

They actually tortured and killed a leader of the Red Ornaments Guild right in front of them.

Suddenly, a pair of golden wings flew in from the sky and landed steadily next to the mage of the Red Ornament Guild.

When Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu saw the person flying in, their expressions turned strange.

Cheng Xiao dug into his memory, recalling what Zhao Manyan had just said, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Boss Oni! It was him, that guy killed Sieg!"

The mage from the Red Ornaments Guild pointed at Cheng Xiao as if he had seen a savior.

"Don't be afraid, Oni, I'm here. What kind of petty thief can't rescue Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng Ge!!!"

Zhao Manyan put down the woman in his arms and even wanted to land in a cool manner to put away the Winged Magic Tool.

But upon seeing the person he was about to confront, he was so frightened that he stammered, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

He only knew that Oni's underling had been bullied and was coming to settle scores, but he didn't know that the person who bullied his underling was his own captain!

"What's wrong, Lao Zhao? Are you planning to make a move against me for your newly found 'new love'?" Cheng Xiao asked with a half-smile.

"No, no, no, Brother Cheng, that's not what I meant," Zhao Manyan quickly asked.

"W-what's going on?!"

Jiang Shaoxu slapped his forehead and pointed at Ou Ni:

"Zhao Manyan, shouldn't you take a look at what she's wearing before you speak?"

Zhao Manyan looked over and noticed that Ouni was wearing a bunch of red accessories.

When he first took a liking to Ouni's beauty, he didn't think much about it at all.

It's simply that Big Head Son listens to Small Head Dad and only treats Oni's accessories as decorative embellishments.

She didn't even consider whether she was a member of the Crimson Ornament Guild.

Zhao Manyan reacted quickly, distanced himself from Ouni, stood next to his teammates, and pointed at Ouni in a fit of rage:

"Damn it! You knew my weakness and used your beauty to deceive me! Shameless Red Ornament Guild!"

"Stop acting. Your performance this time is enough to halve your resources next time," Jiang Shaoxu said slowly.

"More than half," Cheng Xiao added.

Zhao Manyan's vision blurred, and his hatred for Ou Ni intensified.

"I will personally slaughter you all, you damned Crimson Ornament Guild!"

After saying that, Zhao Manyan noticed that his teammates behind him were silent. He turned around and saw that they really weren't making any moves.

Cheng Xiao and the other two watched his performance quietly, as if they were really waiting for Zhao Manyan to personally kill all the enemies present.

"How dare you say that to me!"

Ou Ni felt nauseous just thinking about Zhao Manyan's flirting with her.

The most disgusting thing is that she was actually tempted just now and almost gave herself to this yellow-skinned monkey in front of her!

Ouni is a high-level mage, and a top-tier one at that, comparable to the National Team members.

Zhao Manyan put all his points into defense, so naturally he couldn't beat Oni.

"Brother Cheng, I was wrong! I'll never do it again. Please use your magic to subdue this vixen!"

Zhao Manyan was on the defensive and quickly asked Cheng Xiao for help.

"Half of the resources you deducted will be credited to Jiaojiao," Cheng Xiao said expressionlessly.

"No problem, no problem! I'd be more than willing to give it to my sister-in-law." Zhao Manyan agreed without even thinking.

Cheng Xiao then had Bell rescue Zhao Manyan and eliminate the members of the Red Ornament Guild.

"Does the Nationalist government team not require IQ tests when recruiting?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at the scene before her, speechless.

""

Soon, all fifty-plus members of the Crimson Guild, including the high-ranking mage Oni, died at Bell's hands.

Having lost most of his resources, Zhao Manyan was on the verge of tears. He collected all the symbols of the Red Ornament Guild members and obediently handed them over to Cheng Xiao.

"Keep it safe."

Cheng Xiao gave it all to Mu Nujiao.

The latter accepted it with a smile, a thousand words welling up in her eyes, ready to be spoken that night.

"How could you kill them? This will bring us even worse retribution!"

The villagers behind them, who had been kneeling before the Red Ornament Guild, began to condemn them, one after another.

Even Zhao Manyan, who wasn't very bright, frowned upon hearing those words.

"What are you saying? Aren't you all miserable now? You've gotten so used to being the Red Ornament Guild's dogs that you've forgotten how to hold your heads high, haven't you?"

Zhao Manyan angrily cursed:

"The Red Ornament Guild is monopolizing your vanilla and toying with your women."

"We helped you, and you turned around and bit us! You're a bunch of spineless cowards, you deserve to be bullied!"

"A bunch of heartless bastards. If we had known it would turn out like this, we would have waited until you were completely exploited by the Red Ornaments Guild before we came out to reap the benefits," Jiang Shaoxu said.

Even Mu Nujiao, who has a good temper, spoke up:

"A bunch of hopeless bastards!"

"Once servility is ingrained in one's bones, it's hard to hold one's head high." Cheng Xiao didn't bother to look and turned to leave.

"Let's go, let them fend for themselves."

The fact that they could say such things shows that they have completely become slaves of the Crimson Ornament Guild.

Even if the Crimson Guild is completely wiped out, the next Crimson Guild will come along, and they will still compromise in the same way.

Such people are beyond saving, and there's no need to save them.
