Chapter 656: Bullying

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Night fell. After a busy day, everyone went to bed early. There were only black-robed men patrolling on the street.

“Argh! Help, help!”

The calm night sky was suddenly rocked by a shrill scream.

The black-robed men who heard the noise quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

When they arrived, they saw a woman in ragged clothes sitting on the ground. She could not hide the fear on her face when she saw the black-robed men coming near.

“You guys… you guys don’t come over. I beg you to let me go…”

The other villagers heard the commotion and quickly ran out of their homes.

The moment they arrived, they saw a group of black-robed men surrounding a woman in ragged clothes. The woman was staring at them in terror.

“Isn’t this Er Ni?”

Zhao Dahe had also rushed over with his clothes draped over his shoulders. He recognized the woman on the ground at a glance. She was the girl he had taken a fancy to previously and was going to ask for her to become his son’s wife.

“Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, save me! They, they…” When Er Ni saw Zhao Dahe, she grabbed his shirt tightly as if he were a life-saving buoy.

The villagers could understand what was going on immediately.

They glared at the black-robed men angrily and bellowed, “You guys… you guys are bullying her!”

“What do you guys want to do to Er Ni?”

The black-robed men were dumbfounded and even a little angry.

The moment they became angry, their wooden expressions looked a little stiff and ferocious.

“We didn’t do anything.”

“If we hadn’t heard the commotion and rushed over in time, we wouldn’t know what you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would have done to Er Ni!”

“That’s right. You shameless beasts. You want us to abide by this rule and that, but you yourself did such a shameless thing. If you don’t give us an explanation for what happened today, we won’t let it go no matter what happens.”

The more the villagers talked, the more agitated they became. Their shrill voices were particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Gradually, more and more villagers heard the commotion and ran over.

Zhao Dahe’s expression was very unpleasant as well. He was already displeased with the black-robed men, to begin with. Now, he was even more displeased.

He asked someone to help Er Ni up and came to the black-robed men with an ominous expression.

“Ask your Black Guardian to come here. If you can’t give us a satisfactory explanation for this matter, we can only bring it up to your City Lord. After all, when we agreed to stay, your City Lord also said that she would protect our rights and interests. We are not slaves that you can abuse freely.”

The black-robed men had never encountered such a situation before. They simply couldn’t explain it clearly even if they tried. In addition, they weren’t good with words. The more anxious they were, the scarier their expressions became.

In the end, they could only wake up the Black Guardian, who was already asleep.

Although Black Guardian had a dull personality, he was very angry when he was woken up. When he was forced to go to the villagers, his anger did not subside even after he reached the place.

In the eyes of the villagers, his expression meant something else.

In their opinion, the Black Guardian clearly wanted to use force.

True enough, the Black Guardian attacked as soon as he arrived. However, he did not hit the villagers. Instead, he gave one of the black-robed men a big slap on the face.

“If you don’t explain this matter to me clearly, you’ll go and feed the City Lord’s little precious ones!”

The black-robed man felt wronged after being slapped. They had only come here to patrol normally, so how did it turn out that they were bullying people?

“Guardian, this matter really has nothing to do with our people. When we heard the commotion and ran over, she was already on the ground.”

“Yes, Guardian. What we said is true.”

The eyes of the black-robed men looked innocent and sincere. At that moment, the Black Guardian felt that they were not lying.

However, the villagers did not think so.

Zhao Dahe said, “Black Guardian, if you can’t give Er Ni an explanation for this matter, then we have no choice but to ask the City Lord to be our judge.”

The Black Guardian’s reaction was slow, but he still understood what Zhao Dahe meant. Zhao Dahe was threatening him that he wanted to complain to the City Lord.

The City Lord had handed the matters of the Tiger Base to him. He really did not want to trouble the City Lord.

“Other than you guys, did anyone else see what happened tonight?”

None of the villagers utter a sound.

There were two teams of black-robed men patrolling at night. One team was patrolling inside the base camp while the other team was outside the base camp.

The Black Guardian told his men to look for the black-robed men patrolling outside the camp. He questioned them thoroughly but there was no sign of outsiders breaking in.

The black-robed men did not admit that they had laid their hands on Er Ni, but the villagers insisted that there was something wrong with them.

Both sides were in a deadlock.

Zhao Dahe’s att.i.tude was unyielding. He wanted the Black Guardian to give them justice.

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly. All of you don’t have to be anxious.”

“Black Guardian, you have to give us a time frame. Otherwise, this matter will be left unsettled indefinitely.”

The Black Guardian frowned. “Three days later, I will give all of you a satisfactory answer.”

“Alright. All of you villagers have heard him. In three days, Black Guardian will give us a satisfactory answer. Everyone can just wait patiently.”

Since Zhao Dahe had spoken, everyone naturally followed his instructions obediently.

Zhao Dahe personally led two older women to escort Er Ni home.

Er Ni originally had several siblings in her family, but they all died of illness on the way to flee the disaster. Her parents were also gone, and now she was only left with an older brother. The two of them depended on each other.

“Er Ni, don’t be afraid. Uncle will help you settle this matter no matter what it takes.”

Er Ni was so frightened that she was still trembling when she returned home.

“Uncle, if they can’t give Er Ni justice, I won’t let this matter rest even if I have to risk my life.”

When he saw his sister being bullied, Zhao Dacai felt very bad.

Zhao Dahe gestured for him not to be reckless. “They’ve been here for many years. We won’t be able to gain anything if we were to fight them head-on. Let’s wait for three days and see what they have to say.”

The Black Guardian led the black-robed men back to the Tiger Base. At this moment, he was no longer sleepy. He separated the people who were patrolling tonight and interrogated them one by one.

After interrogating for an entire night, the answers he got were surprisingly consistent.

No matter how he interrogated and tortured them, although there were slight differences in the black-robed men’s words, the general direction was the same. There was no instance where the words were contradictory.

If they weren’t really very determined, it could only mean that what they said was true.

“Guardian, they might really be innocent.”

Although they were all young and hot-blooded, they had been corroded by drugs since they were young, and their bodies were different from normal people. Coupled with the environment they grew up in, they were completely indifferent to women’s charms. So why would they bully a woman at night?

In his heart, the Black Guardian did not believe that the black-robed men were capable of such a thing.

However, Er Ni insisted that it was the black-robed man who laid his hand on her. Since the Black Guardian could not get anything out of the black-robed men, he could only check with Er Ni.

The Black Guardian was about to go out, but when he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks. He then told someone to catch two chickens.

He carried the chickens and went straight into the base camp..
