The King of Urban Mercenaries

"Although we are people of the City Defense Army, it doesn’t mean we..." Liu Neng trailed off, not knowing how to continue. After all, if he really denied it like that, the consequences could be...

The results would be unimaginable. So he hadn’t finished speaking and didn’t know what to say. At this moment, Lin Fei directly said, "Alright, Liu Neng, stop making excuses. I came here to find you because I really have something important to discuss. But do you dare to accompany me on a trip?"

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Liu Neng and the other two City Defense Army members, along with the old General, looked at Lin Fei and asked, "What is it? Tell us."

Lin Fei nodded, "I hope you can accompany me to the City Lord Mansion. You’ve seen the situation in the city, but are you sure the City Lord knows about it?"

"How could he not know! The City Lord sends people down every day to check on the city’s condition, but the situation keeps getting worse. It’s impossible for the City Lord not to know!" Liu Neng said, and the others also nodded in agreement.

"But I know one more thing. Hasn’t the young master been managing the city all along?" Lin Fei asked.

Upon hearing this, the others looked around at their companions in confusion, while Liu Neng said, "Are you suspicious that these things are done by the young master and the City Lord doesn’t know?"

Lin Fei smiled, "I can’t guarantee it, but I heard from the young lady that the City Lord hasn’t left the city; it’s always been the young master handling affairs. Although both the City Lord and the young master manage the city, isn’t it undeniable that there’s something fishy about this?"

As these words were spoken, they immediately sparked deep thought among many. At this time, the old General spoke, "But if the City Lord knows about this, what will you do?"

Lin Fei looked at the old General, "General, may I ask where you are heading this time?"

Hearing Lin Fei’s question, the old General said, "Naturally, I’m going to the City Lord Mansion, to explain everything to the City Lord..."

Saying this, the old General suddenly realized that what Lin Fei and he were doing was exactly the same thing; was there still a need for Lin Fei to say it? At that moment, he suddenly appreciated Lin Fei.

"Very good, young and promising, very clever." The old General praised Lin Fei.

Lin Fei smiled, "General, let me handle this trip. You’ve worked hard all your life, it’s time to take a rest."

"Alright, since you put it that way, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse. I’ll leave this matter to you; I’m old and useless, going may only trouble the City Lord." The old General said. Even though they were generals in the City Defense Army, strength was less important compared to age; any powerful general wouldn’t live very long, after all, everyone has a time when their life ends.

"Respectfully seeing off the old General." Liu Neng and the others bowed to the old General, then looked at Lin Fei. Since the old General trusted Lin Fei, they had no reason not to trust him.

"Well, you finally trust me now!" Lin Fei said.

"That depends on what happens next and the results." Liu Neng replied.

Lin Fei nodded, "But are you mentally prepared? If we fail, you’ll probably be finished; if we succeed, we save everyone."

"When we followed the leader in doing this, we had already been ready for this, so no need to say more, let’s get started, Lin Fei. Since we’ve decided to go with you, we won’t say anything else!" Liu Neng said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei nodded, "Very good, since you already have such a high resolve, let’s go then."

Lin Fei led them towards the City Lord Mansion. Upon reaching the City Lord Mansion, Lin Fei was blocked...

Indeed, Lin Fei had brought too many people, more than ten, which was already considered a threat, and they had received orders not to let these City Defense Army members into the City Lord Mansion to avoid causing trouble.

"Are you sure you won’t let us in?" Lin Fei asked.

"No." The gatekeeping soldier said.

Lin Fei nodded, "If that’s the case, I’ll go in by myself then."

"You can’t go either!"

"I can’t go either? Do you know my identity?" Lin Fei asked.

"Your identity has been revoked by the order of the City Lord. The young lady’s words today were all a joke, not true, so your identity is useless." The gatekeeping soldier said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fei felt a bit surprised, although it seemed reasonable. If that was the case, what could they do?

At that moment, Gai Xiaolian had been waiting for a long time, but Lin Fei still hadn’t returned. Just when she felt disappointed, thinking Lin Fei had abandoned her and fled, suddenly a servant rushed in, saying, "Miss, Miss, Lin Fei is blocked outside and can’t get in."

"What? How outrageous, take me to see!" Gai Xiaolian said, then followed the servant to the gate of the City Lord Mansion.

"What are you doing! Move aside!" Gai Xiaolian said coldly, approaching the gate of the City Lord Mansion. At the moment she saw Lin Fei, she felt very relieved.

"Miss, the City Lord said not to allow these City Defense Army members into the City Lord Mansion."

"Today is a special occasion, so the City Lord agreed. Move aside and don’t delay things." Gai Xiaolian said, looking at the hesitant City Defense Army members.

"Still not moving aside?"

"But... but Miss, if there’s no..."

Gai Xiaolian frowned, waved her hand, and two streams of True Qi attacked the two soldiers. In an instant, the soldiers were hit, clutching their chests as they flew backward, blood spilling from their mouths.

"Audacious fools! Lin Fei, come with me, let’s see who dares stop you!" Gai Xiaolian said. She had lost her patience and led Lin Fei straight to the City Lord’s main hall.

"How did things go?"

"Of course, there’s no problem, just need to pay respects to the future father-in-law." Lin Fei whispered.

Suddenly, upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, Gai Xiaolian blushed slightly, though she still maintained a cold demeanor. However, her heartbeat couldn’t be concealed, pounding chaotically.

Finally, the group arrived at the main hall of the City Lord. The City Lord was reviewing documents. Seeing a group of people barging in, he looked up and said, "Xiaolian, what is the meaning of this?"

"Father, I brought Lin Fei. Didn’t you want to see him? Here he is." Gai Xiaolian said, pointing to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei stepped forward, slightly furrowing his brows as he looked at the person in front of him. He was unsure; is this really the City Lord?

At this moment, a voice echoed in Lin Fei’s mind, and it was the voice of Little Black, the Black Dragon, "Lin Fei, this guy..."

Lin Fei’s pupils contracted, and he narrowed his eyes slightly...
