Chapter 179 Worms

An Lan looked at Yue Ye who was sleeping beside him, got up, dressed and left the office.

When he arrived on the first floor, An Lan just saw a group of soldiers walking in from outside.

The soldiers were dressed in leather armor, and leading them was an officer in chain mail. He walked in from outside with his head held high, looking extremely arrogant and domineering.

You don't need to look to know that they are not here to do anything good.

An Lan also recalled the plot of the original novel.

In the original novel, Long Haochen and Cai'er came to the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, and happened to encounter an officer collecting protection fees, who was severely taught a lesson by Long Haochen.

"Where is your boss? Call him out." The officer shouted loudly with a scimitar on his waist.

The team of soldiers he brought quickly lined up and blocked the door of the Chamber of Commerce with spears in hand.

Someone from the Moonlight Chamber of Commerce immediately came forward and asked cautiously, "Master Jun, what do you mean?"

The officer snorted coldly and said, "Your Moonlight Chamber of Commerce is suspected of colluding with the demons. I will take your boss back for questioning."

The man was stunned and quickly explained: "Master Jun, we are free merchants who deal with the demons. We are recognized by the alliance and are protected by the alliance."

With a "pa!" sound, the officer slapped the clerk from the Moonlight Chamber of Commerce, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground. His cheek was already swollen and red.

"Your Moonlight Chamber of Commerce is the richest on this street. Are you colluding with the demons?" The officer waved his hand, as if it was hurting, his face full of arrogance and impatience.

The commotion here soon alarmed the steward of the Moonlight Chamber of Commerce, who hurried over. After seeing An Lan, he first bowed and saluted, then walked up to the officer and said in a deep voice: "Military officer, please respect yourself. If this matter gets out of hand, it will not do you any good. I have a way to prove my innocence."

As the steward spoke, he pulled out a purse from his bosom and quietly put it into the officer's pocket.

The officer's originally cold expression suddenly softened. He took out the purse from his pocket and weighed it. He opened the purse and looked at it. A satisfied smile flashed in his eyes. He patted the steward on the shoulder and said, "You are sensible."

After getting what he wanted, the officer's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. He said, "It's not easy for you free merchants to do business with the demons. You must pay attention to safety on the road. Okay, let's pack up."

The officer turned around, waved his hand, and was about to leave with the soldiers.

"stop!"

An Lan has never been used to such things. What's more, the Demon Hunting Group itself has the right to monitor governments at all levels.

In the Temple Alliance, the Demon Hunters are not only an important strategic unit targeting the demons, but also have a monitoring function.

Different levels of demon hunting groups correspond to different levels of alliance governments.

The Demon Hunting Group has great supervisory powers.

For example, if a title-level demon hunting group questions the leader of the alliance, the impeachment procedure will be initiated immediately.

In other words, the title-level demon hunting group is an existence that even the leader of the alliance can monitor.

The Demon Hunters have fought bravely for the Alliance and have made countless military achievements. Although they do not have the right to directly command the army, they have the greatest supervisory power.

After An Lan became a demon hunter, countless demons died at his hands, and most of the humans he came into contact with were heroes.

The Demon Hunting Group roams across the demon territory and fights among the enemy forces, all for the purpose of allowing the people of the alliance to live and work in peace.

However, the soldiers fought desperately with the demons on the front lines, and no one knew how much blood and tears they shed.

But there is such a parasite behind the scenes, and no one can stand it.

Anyway, Long Haochen in the original novel couldn’t bear it.

An Lan couldn't stand it either. After all, Yue Ye, the president of Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, was still his woman.

It would be fine if he hadn't encountered it, but now it was happening in front of him, so he had to take care of it.

An Lan took a few steps forward and stopped the officer and a group of soldiers behind him.

"what's up?"

The officer turned and looked at An Lan. When he saw that An Lan was a young man, he immediately put on an official display of authority.

"All of you stay here, and send someone to the Executive Office to ask the Executive Director or the Chief of Military Affairs of Xingxun City to come over. I want to know what they do for a living, and how they could have such a scum like you under their command."

Upon hearing this, the officer's face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "Boy, are you mentally ill?"

The officer drew the scimitar from his waist and smashed it on An Lan's head with the back of the knife.

What just happened was not glorious to begin with, so he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. He just wanted to scare An Lan. If he used a knife and someone died, it would be troublesome.

"You bastard, you dare to do that."

An Lan let out a light shout, like a bolt from the blue, and then an astonishing murderous intent emanated from him, and he rushed straight towards the officer.

The officer was just a small character, not even a professional, so how could he withstand the murderous intent of An Lan that came from the fighting among countless demon warriors.

His face turned pale, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground.

The team of soldiers brought by the officer was also unable to withstand the pressure, but An Lan mainly targeted the officers, so they were still able to barely hold on and remain standing.

However, the camp was already shaking and falling.

When An Lan raised his hand, a dark silver token appeared in his palm. He raised his hand and threw it into the arms of a soldier, saying, "Take this token and do as I said just now."

"Yes Yes."

The soldier clenched the token in his hand tremblingly and walked away quickly with staggering steps.

"Go over to the side and kneel down." An Lan snorted coldly and found a chair nearby to sit down.

An Lan waved his hand, and the manager of the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce immediately ran to An Lan's side, bent over and listened attentively, waiting for An Lan to speak.

"Does this happen often?" An Lan asked.

The manager said truthfully: "This kind of situation rarely happens. This soldier must have just started his job. His behavior cannot represent all soldiers."

An Lan nodded, then asked, "Why don't you report it to the police?"

"Your Excellency, you don't know that the people do not fight against the officials. Spending money to avoid disaster is the best option for us." The manager sighed.

An Lan said: "This kind of thing will never happen again."

Soon, two middle-aged men came hurriedly, one of them was wearing a robe and the other was wearing heavy armor.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw the officer kneeling beside them, and their faces suddenly darkened.

The two men were the governor and military chief of Xingxun City. After receiving the commander-level demon hunting group leader token from the soldiers, they were shocked and rushed over immediately.

Although Xingxun City is a large border city, it does not dare to easily provoke the upper-level demon hunting group.

"Hello, respected leader of the Demon Hunting Group, I am Shuimu, the governor of Xingxun City, and the person next to me is Han Qianyu, the military chief of Xingxun City." Shuimu came up and introduced himself first.
