Seeing that Kadol's burst time was about to end and he was already being suppressed by Sarkaz, Qi Yan stepped forward, ready to step in and stop this farce.
Suddenly, Dai Feien's petite figure blocked his way. Although her pretty face was filled with fear, she still gritted her teeth and said:
"I won't allow you to hurt my companions!"
His gaze passed between Daphne's two trembling cat ears, and he saw Kador being kicked away by a Sarkaz.
"I won't let you!"
"Do you know what I'm going to do?"
As the two were talking, Qi Yan witnessed Kador being kicked twice more.
"Do you think it's possible that I went to stop the Sarkaz?" Qi Yan wasn't in a hurry, and teased Dai Feien with a grin.
"You... wait, you mean you're not going to make a move against Kadol?" Daphne's golden eyes widened.
Kadol was unable to dodge in time and was punched in the eye, staggering and tumbling several times.
"Even if I were to attack you, do you think you could stop me?"
"This isn't a question of whether I can stop you or not. Don't think that just because you're strong I'll back down!"
Kadol collided headfirst with a Sarkaz in the face, and both fell to the ground. While rolling to dodge attacks from other Sarkaz, he took several more blows.
"Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you and use you to threaten your mother?"
"You know who I am?!"
Kadol's punch was already losing power, and Sarkaz dodged it by sidestepping, then struck him hard in the abdomen with his scabbard.
“I not only know who you are, but I also know that your mother is on her way.”
Dai Feien's face lit up with joy, but then she was so frightened by Qi Yan's next words that all the color drained from her face.
"The day she arrives will be the day her death is near."
"You...your target is her!"
"No, my target is you all!" Qi Yan grinned lewdly. "Big cats and little cats, they're all my cats!"
Kadol took a punch to the face from Sarkaz, and completely lost his balance, lying helplessly on his back on the ground.
He strained to look up and see if Baird and the others had already left.
Then, through his blurry vision, he saw Defiance standing there talking to the white-haired Lupo, showing no intention of running away.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Chapter 668 The Enlightenment Staff Technique
Defiance's mind was a bit of a mess at that moment.
When she realized that Qi Yan's target was actually her mother, her first reaction was to stop Qi Yan.
But looking at the guy in front of her, grinning lewdly and lost in his own fantasies, Daphne felt a sense of despair.
How can she resist Qi Yan?
Defien lightly placed her hand on the weapon at her waist, contemplating a charge that would shatter the enemy's defenses.
As the daughter of the Duke of Windermere, she would rather die here than allow herself to become a tool for Qi Yan to blackmail her mother.
Just as Dai Feien had made all the preparations, Qi Yan stopped paying attention to her and began to scan both sides of the corridor.
Most of the residents Baird left in the martial arts school were nowhere to be seen; the doors were tightly shut. Only an elderly couple, supporting each other and holding canes, slowly made their way over at the end of the corridor to try to help.
From the time Qi Yan and the others went up to the second floor until Kadol collapsed, the two old people, panting heavily, had finally covered half the distance.
Qi Yan glanced at Kadol, who was already exhausted, and then turned around to help the elderly couple.
As soon as he got close, the old man raised his cane and struck Qi Yan on the head:
"Don't bully these children!"
Qi Yan simply dodged to the side, but Dai Feien was so frightened by the scene that she gasped and rushed over.
As a result, she received a solid thud on the head from the cane, making a crisp 'thud' sound.
Dai Feien covered her head and squatted down. The elderly couple were also shocked and quickly bent down to check her, while glaring angrily at Qi Yan.
"It wasn't me who did it, what's going on here?"
Qi Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You Victorians are really strange."
Defien covered her head and stood up again. She first waved to the elderly couple to indicate that she was alright, then turned to look at Baird, and finally glanced at the Sarkaz who were trying to climb up the broken staircase.
As if suddenly enlightened, she said to Qi Yan:
"You never intended to attack us."
"Taking a tap on the head can actually help improve IQ?" Qi Yan exclaimed in surprise. "I'll go back and promote this brain-boosting method to Kal'tsit."
Dai Feien: “…”
She wasn't stupid to begin with, but the sudden discovery of Qi Yan beside her left her somewhat confused.
The pain from being hit actually calmed her down.
“If you wanted to take action against us, you wouldn’t need all this trouble,” Daphne analyzed. “Even my mother is no exception. With your strength, you wouldn’t take any single duke seriously.”
"I don't even care about them together," Qi Yan said honestly.
Daphne choked for a moment, then asked in confusion:
"So what exactly do you want to do?"
I've realized I'm powerless to resist. Why don't you just tell me your goal? Since we still have value to you, my cooperation will make things easier for you, won't it?"
"Call your mother over."
For a moment, Dai Feien was unsure whether Qi Yan's words were true or just another prank on her.
Seeing that Dai Feien's 'enlightenment' buff seemed to be expiring, Qi Yan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the old man's cane.
After a moment's hesitation, Qi Yan gave up the idea of continuing to apply buffs to Dai Feien.
The situation in Norbert District is too bad right now, and Sarkaz's medical capabilities are completely unreliable. If he accidentally hurts this little cat, things could get really messed up.
On the other side, at the broken staircase, the group of Sarkaz also cautiously climbed up.
Their first sights were of the men in formal attire lying horizontally and vertically on the second floor, along with Baird. Their second sights were of the elderly couple with canes and Defiance, who was covering his head.
Before they could take a third look, the figure with its back to them slowly turned around.
White hair, golden eyes, Rupert, and a radiant smile.
The five Sarkaz knelt on the ground in perfect unison, their movements fluid and precise.
"Stand up! Don't kneel!" Qi Yan snapped impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking, the five Sarkaz knelt as if they had been fitted with cranes, instantly straightening their legs, their movements fluid and precise.
This was all thanks to the Sarkaz, who was personally chosen by Qi Yan last night, who demonstrated and taught them the 'exclusive etiquette for meeting Qi Yan' over and over again.
In summary, kneel when you should kneel, stand when you should stand, obey whatever you are told, and ask questions if you don't understand.
At this moment, the five Sarkaz were completely bewildered, so one of them stepped forward and humbly asked:
"Master Dean, why are you here?"
"Understood, we'll head out now, so as not to disturb the Dean's enjoyment."
The five Sarkaz took their leave in unison.
Qi Yan called out to them, "Since you're already here, you might as well report to me on your mission progress."
The five Sarkaz pushed and shoved each other a couple of times to choose a representative, who then honestly reported:
"Most people have been brought under our control. Although there has been some resistance, after being tormented by the current situation in Norbert District these days, they have lost much of their spirit. We have easily intimidated everyone."
The supplies have been collected almost completely, and we've given them all to Mingjiao for registration. She says that if these supplies are distributed properly, they can sustain everyone in the area for half a month.
"enough."
Qi Yan was fairly satisfied with the result: "There are quite a few supplies in the warehouse of this martial arts school. Let's call a few more people to come and take them all."
The Sarkaz nodded repeatedly, turned around, and jumped down the stairs to carry out the order.
Dai Feien bit her lower lip tightly; her heart was bleeding after hearing Qi Yan's arrangements.
The reason why the martial arts school's warehouse has so many supplies is because she likes to hoard things. In other words, she built the warehouse almost entirely on her own.
At this moment, everything was rendered meaningless by Qi Yan's words, and Dai Feien wished she could rush over and bite Qi Yan a few times.
Qi Yan noticed Dai Feien's expression and asked with a light laugh:
"Are you feeling distressed?"
Seeing that Qi Yan dared to smile at her after doing such a despicable thing, Dai Feien could no longer hold back:
"Do you find it fun to bully others like this? Do you feel satisfied with ruling others through violence? You...you really are a demon king, you hateful demons!"
"First of all, it's really fun to bully people, especially a little girl like you."
Qi Yan's smile was full of mischievousness.
Upon hearing this, Dai Feien trembled with anger, but she gritted her teeth and held back, pressing down on the arms of the elderly couple behind her to signal them not to act impulsively.
Qi Yan shrugged and continued:
"Secondly, how can one achieve domination without violence? With love?"
If people are categorized as hateful demons simply because they used violence in the process of establishing their rule, then everyone on this land is a demon.
"How could that be? What are you trying to argue about?!" Defien said angrily.
"If violence is not needed, why do the dukes form armies and build high-speed warships?" Qi Yan's question stumped Daphne.
Seeing that Dai Feien remained silent, Qi Yan took the initiative to refute his own argument:
"Because we must safeguard peace and order."
“Violence is not absolute evil; it creates chaos in times of peace,” Qi Yan said slowly. “But when chaos has already descended, violence is essential for restoring order.”
Let's make a bet, little kitty.
Today I take your grain and capture your people, and you call me the Demon King, denouncing me and the Sarkaz as demons.
A week from now, you will be eternally grateful to me, and you will see the Sarkaz squad greet you with genuine smiles!
(Two chapters today, four chapters tomorrow)
Chapter 669 He Calls Me Baby
Defien made no attempt to hide the doubt on her face.
She knew she was powerless to resist Qi Yan, but she was determined to make her stance clear and would never be swayed by Qi Yan's sophistry.
Qi Yan shrugged, said nothing, walked over, bent down and picked up the unconscious Baird, then casually kicked the man in the suit downstairs, where he landed on a passing Sarkaz.
"Let's ride Amiya and read the script, we'll see."
Qi Yan tossed out a sentence and lightly jumped off the second floor.
It took Defiance a moment to realize what was happening:
"Put Baird down right now!"
She took a step to catch up, but after running two steps she noticed the elderly couple still trembling behind her, so she quickly stopped.
Daphne was torn, unsure whether to appease the two old people and let them go back to their room, or to catch up with Qi Yan first, lest this crazy guy bully Baird.
Just then, a Sarkaz grabbed the broken staircase with both hands and leaned forward in a pull-up position:
"Do you need help?"
Daphne was stunned.
She never dreamed that one day she would see Sarkaz kindly extending a helping hand to her.
Baird's tightly closed eyes trembled twice, and an unconscious whimper escaped from his lips.
"you're awake?"
