Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Any Objections?

Young Master Sun frantically issued his orders, but from his Personal Guard to the reserve camp, none of the soldiers moved an inch.

”Fuck! Where are my Personal Guards?”

His two Personal Guards were standing outside, trembling all over, staring intently at the God of Wealth Hall’s truck.

Young Master Sun rushed out frantically. ”I told you to surround this place! How dare you disobey my orders?”

A Personal Guard swallowed hard and pointed a finger at the truck. ”Junior General, that... that’s a truck from the God of Wealth Hall!”

The God of Wealth Hall’s logo was too conspicuous, but Sun Shaolong was so hot-headed he hadn’t noticed it at all.

Now, looking at that logo, he too shuddered.

’The God of Wealth Hall, subordinates of the Night Emperor?’

’The former number one War God of the Northern Domain... no, Da Xia’s number one War God, the Night Emperor?’

Sun Shaolong swallowed hard, his eyes darting around even faster.

Then he roared, ”It’s a fake! The Night Emperor retired long ago, and the God of Wealth Hall was disbanded! You think slapping a logo on a truck makes you his subordinates? I don’t believe it!”

His men hesitated.

Wang Hou was speechless. ”Let’s put that aside for a moment. First, let’s talk about the fact that you lost!”

Sun Shaolong’s eyes went red. ”Do you have any fucking idea who I am? Do you know the Sun Family’s standing in the Imperial Capital?”

Wang Hou said nothing.

Because Qin Tianxuan was already walking over.

Just then, the Female Captain, Chen Fengzhi, ran out and stared intently at Qin Tianxuan. ”Showing off with all this gold and silver makes you no different from that Sun guy! I hate rich show-offs like you the most!”

Qin Tianxuan glanced at her. ”Whether you hate me or like me, do you think I care?”

Chen Fengzhi’s face instantly flushed red.

With his hands behind his back, Qin Tianxuan approached and slowly gave his command, ”Send all of these supplies and all of this wealth to the Northern Domain Battle Department. I want their emptied warehouses refilled!”

The members of the God of Wealth Hall bowed in unison to accept the order.

The Female Captain, Chen Fengzhi, was stunned once again.

The color drained from her flushed face, leaving it pale.

’So, so this man wasn’t just showing off his wealth. He was doing it for the Northern Domain Battle Department!’

’What did I just say to him?’

’This whole incident was clearly my fault, yet I blamed Qin Tianxuan. Just thinking about it leaves me speechless with shame.’

By now, Qin Tianxuan had reached Sun Shaolong.

His eyes glinted. ”Wang Hou!”

”Your subordinate is here!”

”Strip this idiot of his combat uniform and relieve him of all his duties!”

Wang Hou let out a savage grin, kicked Sun Shaolong to the ground, and the War Pavilion’s Personal Guards moved in. On the spot, they tore off his combat coat and stripped the idiot of his sidearm and epaulets!

Sun Shaolong struggled wildly, roaring, ”I’m from a Celestial Pavilion Elder’s family! I am a Junior General and Six Harmonies Commander of the Northern Domain Battle Department! You dare—”

Qin Tianxuan spun around and slapped him. The sharp crack of the slap made everyone’s heart lurch.

Teeth flew from Sun Shaolong’s mouth. He let out a piercing scream, his mouth filling with blood.

In front of everyone, Qin Tianxuan took out his phone and dialed directly: Celestial Hall, Elder Sun!

On the phone, the Celestial Pavilion Elder on the other end exclaimed excitedly, ”Mr. Qin, you’ve finally called! About the situation with the Northern Domain Battle Department...”

Qin Tianxuan cut him off directly. ”I just struck Sun Shaolong of your family. Do you have a problem with that?”

The Celestial Pavilion Elder seemed stunned. After a long moment, he stammered, ”Th-that’s impossible. Sun Shaolong should be at the Northern Domain’s defensive line. Could it be... you’ve arrived at the Northern Domain Battle Department? I’ll have someone ask right now...”

Qin Tianxuan interrupted him again. ”I’m only asking you one thing: do you have a problem with it?”

The Celestial Pavilion Elder heard the gravity in his tone and immediately replied, ”No problem at all! If you struck him, he must have made a grave mistake. I wouldn’t have a problem even if you beat him to death!”

Qin Tianxuan snorted. ”Sun Shaolong deserted his post, embezzled Battle Department supplies, and stole emergency reserve funds. His crimes are unforgivable!”

CLANG! The sound of a teacup shattering came from the other end of the line.

After a long silence, Celestial Pavilion Elder Sun’s hoarse voice came through. ”Is... is all of this true?”

Qin Tianxuan paused for a moment, his tone growing even calmer. ”The witnesses and physical evidence are all here. I’ll have a copy sent to you immediately. What is your opinion now?”

This time, the Celestial Pavilion Elder dared not hesitate. ”Please handle it as you see fit, Mr. Qin. I dare not have any opinion whatsoever!”

His voice suddenly sounded much older.

Qin Tianxuan gave a cold laugh. ”I have already resigned from the position of Night Emperor, but the Six Halls and the Ninth Army still stand. Right now, I will handle this in my capacity as a veteran of the war domains and the leader of the Dark Prison Hall. What do you think of that?”

Celestial Pavilion Elder Sun hurriedly replied, ”You will always be the Night Emperor, our Guardian God! We all know this very well. There is absolutely no problem!”

Qin Tianxuan nodded slowly, raised his hand gently, then abruptly pointed at the stunned Sun Shaolong. ”Execute him by firing squad on the spot. Announce it to the entire Battle Department as a warning to all!”

What!!

On the spot?

Execution by firing squad, right here and now?

Is he really going to kill him?

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

Only Wang Hou snapped to attention, saluted, and accepted the order on the spot.

Sun Shaolong mumbled incoherently, as if drunk. ”No way... how could you dare kill me... I’m Young Master Sun from the Imperial Capital... my family is the Sun Family... I’m a Six Harmonies Commander of the Northern Domain Battle Department... No way... how could he dare kill me... hehe... hehehe...”

But when Wang Hou dragged him to a secluded spot behind the truck, he finally sobered up.

He pissed and shat himself!

”Grandfather, save me! Save me! I’m from the Sun Family! I have Sun Family blood in my veins...!”

A sharp CRACK was followed by a choked cry, and then... silence.

Wang Hou holstered his pistol and made a gesture. ”Clean it up and send it back to the Sun Family!”

Outside, the Celestial Pavilion Elder’s hoarse voice came from Qin Tianxuan’s phone. In the dead silence, the voice was exceptionally clear. ”Night Emperor, my family has suffered a great misfortune in producing such a rebellious son. You handled it well. I, too, am at fault. I will voluntarily resign!”

”Of course you’re at fault. Sending your family’s younger generation to get gilded? Trying to rack up military achievements so they can climb the ladder?” Qin Tianxuan’s tone was ice-cold. ”I was originally going to trace this all the way to the top, with no limit. I wouldn’t have cared if it meant wiping out your entire Sun Family. Since you’re willing to resign voluntarily, you’d best watch your step from now on!”

He hung up.

So cold and ruthless, without a single word of courtesy.

And those two words, ”Night Emperor,” had already caused Chen Fengzhi, who was standing behind him, to faint from shock.
