Chapter 1476 - 742: Making Peace
With a gentle wave of his right hand, those guards were fiercely thrown out, each one letting out screams of agony.
They kept moaning, and the City Lord, seeing this scene, was even more shocked and terrified.
Unexpectedly, Lin Beichen was so formidable, arriving beside him in such a short time.
After dealing with these guards, Lin Beichen flashed and appeared directly next to the City Lord.
He fiercely grabbed the City Lord’s throat, saying angrily, "Listen! If you want to live, release the hostages, otherwise I won’t spare you."
"I’ve come to your side, you’ve seen my power, you better weigh your options carefully."
"If you’re thinking of playing any tricks, beware of your little life."
The City Lord showed a face of terror, the moment Lin Beichen clenched his throat, he immediately struggled to breathe.
The City Lord struggled desperately but couldn’t break free from Lin Beichen’s grip, his face gradually turning pale.
His body kept trembling, intermittently saying to Lin Beichen, "Let... let go of me, do you think killing me means you can get out alive? Stop dreaming..."
"Hmph..."
Lin Beichen let out a cold snort, adding more force to his hand, tightly squeezing the City Lord’s throat without any intention of letting go.
The City Lord was filled with panic, taking big breaths of air.
"Who are you? How dare you be so impudent, release me immediately!" The City Lord’s voice was trembling significantly.
"Who I am is not important, what’s important is that I want you to release the hostages immediately, don’t you understand?"
Lin Beichen was completely unmoved by the City Lord’s threats, speaking each word resolutely.
"Why should I? You say to release them and they should be released, you take yourself too seriously." The City Lord persisted, but his tone was noticeably less confident.
Lin Beichen let out a cold snort: "Alright, since you’re so eager to know who I am?"
"I don’t mind telling you, but you better listen carefully."
The City Lord heard Lin Beichen’s arrogance, secretly cursing in his heart: "No matter who you are, causing trouble here is really tiresome."
"Hahaha..."
Lin Beichen couldn’t help but laugh, speaking disdainfully: "I am Lin Beichen, the person you’ve been trying to find all along."
"Lin Beichen?" Hearing these two words, the City Lord seemed to be hit hard, momentarily stunned.
"You...you’re Lin Beichen?"
"Yes, that’s right! What’s wrong, you seem like you don’t believe it?"
Upon finding out the person in front of him was Lin Beichen, the City Lord’s heart immediately ignited with anger.
"Let go of me!" The City Lord shouted at Lin Beichen with some anger.
"I can let you go easily."
"As long as you release the hostages, I’ll release you, this deal surely benefits you!"
"Dreaming of me releasing the hostages? Not a chance." The City Lord struggled desperately.
"Not releasing them is fine too, as long as you can withstand it, it doesn’t bother me." Lin Beichen spoke casually.
However, the force in his hand continued to increase.
The City Lord was almost suffocated by Lin Beichen’s grip.
"You... release me now, or else..."
"Or else what can you do?" Before the City Lord could finish speaking, Lin Beichen interrupted him.
Lin Beichen’s words left the City Lord speechless.
He originally had nothing to say, just wanted to use words to threaten Lin Beichen to release him.
But now seeing Lin Beichen’s strong attitude, the City Lord was out of ideas.
The City Lord was stubborn by nature, no matter how Lin Beichen spoke, he refused to release the hostages.
Helpless, Lin Beichen had no choice but to use force, making the City Lord suffer.
Perhaps, the City Lord would agree to release the hostages after some suffering.
But Lin Beichen oversimplified things, the City Lord was too tight-lipped.
Until Lin Beichen forcibly twisted his left shoulder, the City Lord had no choice but to order the release of the hostages.
"Alright, alright, I’ll release... take it easy." The City Lord screamed with agony.
"If you were this straightforward earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much, insisting on enduring this struggle before releasing them, what’s the point!" Lin Beichen slightly relaxed his grip.
The City Lord shouted with difficulty: "Come here."
Soon, his subordinates came over.
"Go, release the hostages."
"Yes." After his subordinate spoke, he immediately walked away.
Lin Beichen showed no mercy to the City Lord. Seeing the City Lord’s men go to release the hostages, he continued to question the City Lord: "Why do you allow your son to act so arrogantly in the city?"
"You...release me first." The City Lord spoke with difficulty due to pain.
Lin Beichen gave the City Lord a glance and then let go of him.
"Alright, now can you tell me why you allow your son to be so arrogant, yet treat the common people so cruelly?"
After Lin Beichen released the City Lord, the City Lord took a few deep breaths.
Looking at Lin Beichen with a serious face, he didn’t know what to do.
Telling the truth was wrong, lying was also wrong.
Having just experienced Lin Beichen’s power, the City Lord was filled with fear but didn’t directly answer Lin Beichen’s question.
Never mentioning his actions that led to the death of two citizens in the city.
Lin Beichen listened to the City Lord evade and say irrelevant things, not bothering to listen to his explanations.
"Alright, no need to explain, take me to see your son."
Hearing Lin Beichen wanting to see his son, the City Lord was undeniably pleased.
He immediately shut up, rose and led the way ahead for Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen watched the City Lord lead the way without hesitation, snorted coldly, and followed the City Lord to see his son.
"Don’t worry, I will help you save your son."
Lin Beichen’s sudden comment was so unbelievable to the City Lord.
"What did you say?" The City Lord walking in front immediately stopped, turned around in disbelief to ask Lin Beichen.
