Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Deserved Treatment

The thugs at the roadblock had been stunned into silence.

Skinny kept shouting for his brothers to charge, but not a single one dared to move.

They weren’t idiots. A helicopter was patrolling overhead. ’What the hell is this?’

The man who had arrived had to be some kind of ridiculously powerful big shot.

The thugs in the back had dropped their iron pipes long ago, bolting as if their feet were greased.

As Qin Tianxuan turned and walked toward them, each step left a deep imprint on the ground.

His overwhelming killing intent and ice-cold gaze were as sharp as a drawn blade!

Ah!

Someone let out a blood-curdling scream, and the motley crew turned to flee in a mad panic.

Suddenly, the THUNDEROUS roar of rotors filled the air around them.

On the attack helicopter, the menacing black barrels of its machine guns swiveled into position!

The thugs were so terrified they dropped to the ground, sticking their asses in the air and trembling uncontrollably.

The more cowardly ones had already wet themselves.

The four Personal Guards brought by Wang Hou appeared, their faces cold. They moved in from behind, rounding up the thugs like a flock of sheep before tying them all up with rope they found nearby.

At the front, the seven ringleaders, led by Skinny, were also shaking so hard their legs could barely support them.

The iron pipe in Skinny’s hand trembled. ”D-don’t be afraid! We’ve... we’ve got Young Master Li backing us!”

”Boss, I’m terrified! That guy left footprints in the asphalt! He’s not human!”

Like a demon straight out of Hell, Qin Tianxuan materialized in front of Skinny.

Skinny’s vision blurred. A loud THUD echoed out, and his entire body was sent flying.

He sprayed a mouthful of blood in mid-air. After landing, he tumbled over a dozen times before a Personal Guard viciously kicked him back.

Qin Tianxuan planted his leather shoe on the man’s face, leaned down, and asked a single question: ”You dare insult my brothers? How many heads do you have to spare?”

Skinny coughed and shrieked, ”Sir! Sir, I was wrong! I’m a piece of shit! I just wanted to make a quick buck! Please, please be merciful! I work for Young Master Li Xiaohai...”

Qin Tianxuan smiled, a particularly sinister grin. ”Oh, Li Xiaohai!”

CRUNCH!

Half of Skinny’s face caved in, his teeth ground to powder.

This time, he couldn’t even scream. His legs kicked wildly as he convulsed on the ground.

The men next to him cried out and collapsed, soiling themselves in terror.

Qin Tianxuan coldly lifted his foot and turned to give his orders. ”Remove all roadblocks! Repair the highway!”

”Yes, sir!”

The Personal Guards acknowledged the order with conviction.

Qin Tianxuan then pointed to the large truck carrying vegetables. ”Make these bastards pull this truck out of Su City on foot!”

”Yes, sir!”

”Relay my command! All our brothers from the Northern Domain and the Military Supervision Office are to provide a full escort for this truck!”

”Yes, sir!”

”Decorate the delivery truck with red flowers and silk ribbons! No one is to charge any tolls along the way. Give it green lights all the way!”

”Yes, sir!”

One command after another was issued!

The truck, on its volunteer mission to deliver vegetables to the Northern Domain, instantly became a celebrity.

Up ahead, the thugs from the roadblock tremblingly pulled on ropes, hauling the truck while onlookers spat at them in disgust.

Along the route, veterans who had served in the Northern Domain and personnel from the Military Supervision Office provided a full escort, ensuring it had a clear path.

This was the treatment a hero deserved!

After handling this matter, Qin Tianxuan’s mood did not relax at all.

The war situation in the Northern Domain was becoming more and more critical, yet in a place like Su City, there were still scumbags like Li Xiaohai cheating the Battle Department out of its money!

This was clearly a case of collusion between higher-ups and their subordinates, infuriating and frustrating.

Jiang Wan Jun approached him.

Qin Tianxuan composed himself and went to meet her.

”Tianxuan, are you all right? I was so worried they’d give you trouble!” Jiang Wan Jun said, her face full of motherly concern. ”And your Uncle Han... honestly. He still hasn’t come over. He’s too busy bragging to everyone!”

In the crowd, Han Qian Jun was standing with his head held high, his face flushed with delight.

People around him were giving him a thumbs-up. ”Uncle, your son-in-law is incredible!”

”Yeah, he’s amazing! We’d love to meet him!”

”Uncle, your son-in-law is from the Battle Department, right?”

”I think he’s a high-ranking officer!”

Han Qian Jun was practically giddy. He chuckled, ”Well, I can’t really talk about it... but he’s definitely a high-ranking officer. Let me tell you, my son-in-law has met the Night Emperor himself! He’s one of the Night Emperor’s Grand Generals!”

The crowd grew even more impressed.

Han Qian Jun puffed up his chest, bragging despite feeling a little guilty, only to get a slap from Jiang Wan Jun. ”What are you spouting all that nonsense for? Hurry up! Tianxuan is waiting for you!”

Han Qian Jun finally snapped out of his moment of vanity. He quickly apologized to the crowd and hurried back.

Now, the more he looked at his son-in-law, Qin Tianxuan, the more fond of him he became. He wished he could grab a bottle of liquor and share a good drink with him right then and there.

”Tianxuan, are you retired from the Battle Department?” Uncle Han scratched his head. ”I got a little carried away just now, bragging to those people... I told them you’d met the Night Emperor and were one of his Grand Generals. That... that’s not going to cause any trouble, is it?”

Qin Tianxuan was taken aback, then smiled. ”I see the Night Emperor every day, especially in the morning...”

Before he could finish, Han Qian Jun let out a ”heh.” ”You’re an even bigger braggart than I am, kid.”

Pulling Qin Tianxuan aside, Han Qian Jun was filled with emotion. ”Your aunt and I were on our way to a relative’s for a birthday celebration. I never expected to run into something like this. Say, Tianxuan, why don’t you come with us?”

Qin Tianxuan was in no mood for that and was about to politely refuse when Aunt Jiang spoke up. ”What’s this? You want to take the kid to my older sister’s house to show him off?”

Han Qian Jun just chuckled. ”With a son-in-law this great, why should I keep him hidden? Besides, you know how your second older sister is. Just because her daughter is in the Battle Department, she brags about it constantly. Every time, she’s going on about how our Weiwei falls short in this or that. It infuriates me.”

Jiang Wan Jun sighed. ”But her daughter really is impressive. A Female Captain who returned from the Northern Domain, and so young. In a few more years, she might even be promoted to general!”

As the two were talking, a glint appeared in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. ”She really came back from the Northern Domain Battle Department?”

Jiang Wan Jun nodded. ”She came back specially for my second sister’s birthday. That child, she rarely gets to come home all year. This time, my sister had to beg and cry before she would leave the Northern Domain Battle Department.”

’Hmm, that means I can get firsthand information about the situation at the front!’

Right now, news from the front lines was more important than anything. Qin Tianxuan immediately replied, ”I’ll go with you, Uncle and Aunt. It’ll be a good chance to meet this Female Captain.”

Han Qian Jun was overjoyed.

Qin Tianxuan sent the four Personal Guards back, taking only Wang Hou with him. He had a car requisitioned and headed straight for the second aunt’s house in Wuzhou District.
