A domineering aura spread into the surroundings with every step Leng Qianhan took toward Lei Hu, who lay on the ground beside the pillar.
Leng Qianhan looked charismatic. However, his aesthetics was ruined by a long scar that cut through his left eyebrow and cheek. It gave him an angsty look.
He was unstoppable as he walked with great vigor. No dared to act in front of him.
Even the people from the Lei Hu mercenary group subconsciously retreated.
This scene of dozens of people backing away from one man seemed funny, yet no laughs rang out in the building.
Lou Xiaoxiaoâs eyes were glued to Leng Qianhan. She spoke to herself. âOh dear! This guy is impressive!â
Although she could not tell Leng Qianhanâs cultivation of the Mystic Martial realm by his appearance, she could sense his aura. This allowed her to make the assumption.
Lou Qianxue lifted her lower jaw and signaled Lou Qianxue. âWhat do you think if we let him be my guard?â
They were still at quite a distance from the group, so no one should have been able to hear their conversation.
But Leng Qianhan paused his footsteps and turned to the side. His black eyes glared at Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue was stunned but she calmly stared back at him. It was rare that they both had the word âQianâ in their names. It could be considered as fate, so they should help one another.
The two of them maintained eye contact for a while before Leng Qianhan looked away. He walked to Lei Huâs side and said with a cold and deep voice, âWe Mercenaries have rules. No matter if we are part of a group or just individuals, we are all brothers trying to make a living amidst the knives and blood. Why do we have to resort to bullying and killings?â
âYou...â A vicious look of resentment appeared in Lei Huâs eyes. His face shivered, but before someone stronger, he did not dare to fight back.
He supported himself up by grabbing onto the pillar and looked at the blood-stained Xiao He on the floor with strong hatred. âFine, Leng Qianhan. Today, I shall not fight with all you âScatterersâ. But you better pray that you donât step on the tails and land in the hands of our group again. If I see one next time, Iâll kill one!â
With that, the Lei Hu mercenary group noisily left.
At the mercenary guild, only the Scatterers were left. They supported Xiao He and provided him with medical aid.
Leng Qianhan did not interact with anyone else. He just walked away without saying a single word.
Everyone knew that Leng Qianhan was a lone wolf, and they respectfully looked at his back.
When Leng Qianhan passed by Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao, Lou Xiaoxiao became a little anxious. She grabbed Lou Qianxueâs arm. âHey, didnât you say that you wanted to hire him as your guard?â
Leng Qianhan pretended not to hear and continued walking.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lou Qianxue turned around and followed Leng Qianhan while holding on to Lou Xiaoxiao.
When they reached the entrance, Lou Qianxue spoke up. âYoung Master Leng, may I have a word with you?â
âDonât waste your breath.â Leng Qianhanâs tone was very cold. âI will never be a guard for anyone, especially not for a woman.â
This guy seems to despise women.
Lou Qianxue thought about it and raised her brow. âIâve always believed that we should not speak so absolutely regardless of the circumstances. Otherwise, it might turn out to be a slap in the face and invite humiliation.â
Leng Qianhan turned around. The long scar across his left eyebrow and cheek wriggled like a centipede, ruining his charisma. It made him look intimidating. With a frown, he said, âYou want to slap me in the face?â
