When the group arrived at the town, they saw a group of strong men surrounding Mr. Wu from a distance. They kept moving and cursing.
There were many passers-by around, pointing and discussing, but no one dared to come forward to stop them.
"Old thing, it's your honor to have give us something. Why are you wasting your time?"
"The Cloudroot is a munitions-controlled substance. It's illegal for you to sell it without permission. Do you understand?"
"Hand over the money immediately, or I'll arrest you and lock you up for 8 to 10 years. Can you, an old man, bear it?"
......
Seeing that those people were going to continue to attack Mr. Wu, Fire couldn't help but rush over and push them away. He shouted, "Stop!"
The few of them were stunned, and their gazes landed on Fire. They sized him up and questioned in a deep voice, "Brat, do you know who we are? How dare you meddle in our matters?"
Fire snapped, "I don't care who you are. I won't allow you to bully anyone."
"Hahaha..." The group of people burst into laughter. The leader waved his hand and ordered, "Catch him, break his legs, and teach him a lesson. Let's see who dares to meddle in our business."
Four strong men stepped forward, ready to catch Fire.
However, before they could get close, Fire knocked the four people to the ground with a few thuds.
When the leader saw this, he was shocked and his voice became serious. "W-Who are you?"
Fire approached them. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who you are."
At this time, Fade and the others also arrived at the scene. They helped Mr. Wu up and protected him together.
Some passers-by also gathered around at this moment.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense, and the pressure increased.
Seeing this, the leader's expression darkened. He took out a token and said in a stern voice, "I'm from the Bravo Army. I've taken a good look at all of you. Who dares to mess with me?"
When the crowd saw the token, their expressions immediately changed. The passers-by, who had been surrounding them, left one after another.
Fade and the others were also shocked. "The Bravo Army."
Seeing this, the strong man's expression relaxed, and his tone unconsciously became more arrogant. "Our Bravo Army is fighting hard in the front. It doesn't matter if we take something from you."
At this time, Mr. Wu struggled to stand up and stepped forward. "Are you from the Bravo Army? No, it's impossible. The Bravo Army is Marshal Jakariah's team. How could it be you?"
"What Jakariah? How many years ago was that? Our boss is Zovier, General Qin. All of you, listen carefully and hand over the things obediently," the strong man said.
A look of disbelief appeared on Mr. Wu's face. "Isn't Zovier the descendant of Marshal Jakariah? How could he allow you to do this? Are you ruining the reputation of the Bravo Army? I won't allow people like you to pretend to be members of the Bravo Army."
"Stupid old man, I don't have time to be entangled with you. Give me the money!" The strong man reached out to grab the money.
Mr. Wu's face was full of agitation. "No, it's impossible. You are not from the Bravo Army. My son, Gilbert Wu, has joined the Bravo Army. I have to tell him to lead the official troops to catch a fake like you."
"Gilbert?" The strong man was stunned, then he laughed and said, "Old man, don't waste your time. Your son died on the battlefield half a year ago. He was smashed by the enemy's palm, and there was not even a body left."
"What, no... No, that won't happen. You're lying to me. You..." Mr. Wu's expression changed greatly and he kept shaking his head.
The strong man took out a wooden tablet and threw it in front of the old man, saying, "This is your son's. At that time, it was I who collected his corpse from the battlefield."
"D*mn it, I've been busy for a long time, but I just picked up this wooden board. There's nothing valuable."
Mr. Wu picked up the wooden tablet and looked at it carefully in his hand. His body went weak and he fell to the ground. His lips were pale. "Son, I... My son... He... He..."
Carolina and Hoogan sent Mr. Wu, Beany, and Beany's mother back, leaving only Fire and Fade at the scene.
Fire said, "Boss, how should we deal with these people? Kill them?"
Fade thought for a moment and then said, "I'll interrogate them first and see if I can get anything out of them."
"Yes!" Fire nodded and let Fade do as he wanted.
In less than 30 minutes, Fire came back.
That group of men really didn't have much backbone. Fade was able to find out some information with just a few moves.
It turned out that they were truly from the Brave Army. When they heard that the Sky Devil Region's great army had come recently, their captain was a little afraid and fled with his squad in the name of investigation.
They hid in the mountains for a while. Life was too bitter and there was no profit, so they decided to come down to fight and get some money to eat and drink to fill their stomachs.
As a result, they unexpectedly encountered Fade's group and became like this now.
After hearing all this, Fade couldn't help but frown. "If the soldiers of the Bravo Army are all like this, how can they resist the Sky Devil army?"
At that moment, suddenly, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves approaching quickly.
Fire and Fade tensed up and looked up, only to see a fully armed cavalry team quickly rushing into the town.
"Boss!" Fire looked at Fade.
Fade said, "Don't act rashly. Let's wait and see."
While they were talking, the cavalry stopped in front of them.
