Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

"Punishment? Didn’t I tell you to reward him?"

Ming Lun glared at the Intelligence Minister and asked coldly.

"I wouldn’t dare! He intruded into your residence without permission and disturbed your cultivation, which is a grave offense. Even if he was timely in reporting intelligence, he still cannot be rewarded!"

The Intelligence Minister quickly shook his head, trembling as he spoke.

"When I tell you to reward him, you reward him. Why? Is my command ineffective now?"

Ming Lun frowned and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Intelligence Minister’s body went limp with fear, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud: "Hall Master, please understand, I’ve always acted according to your commands. Forgive me. As soon as I return, I will reward him immediately!"

"Alright, get up first!"

Ming Lun waved his hand and said indifferently.

However, even after hearing these words, the Intelligence Minister only dared to stay kneeling on the ground, not daring to stand.

He knew what was going on and knew that Ming Lun was in a very bad mood at the moment.

So right now, he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend Ming Lun.

If not, Ming Lun might just kill him, and no one would plead for his justice.

Although the intelligence department is quite important to the Nether Flame Hall.

His position as Intelligence Minister is no big deal.

Even if he dies, Ming Lun could quickly find someone to replace him.

That was his current status in the Nether Flame Hall.

Therefore, he had to be as humble as possible, as cautious as possible.

"Hall Master, please go ahead, I won’t dare to get up!"

The Intelligence Minister quickly shook his head, speaking humbly.

"When I say to get up, you get up. Can you follow my words? If you can’t, then I won’t say anymore!"

Ming Lun’s face turned grim, speaking coldly.

The Intelligence Minister’s face changed upon seeing this.

He didn’t know whether it was better to get up or to stay kneeling.

Helplessly, he cast a pleading glance at the Vice Hall Master seated beside Ming Lun.

The Vice Hall Master quickly winked at the Intelligence Minister, signaling him to stand up.

Upon seeing this, the Intelligence Minister finally understood, hurriedly stood up, and gave Ming Lun a deep bow: "Hall Master, don’t be angry, I was wrong, I misunderstood your intentions, please forgive me!"

"Never mind, what I want to say is that our Nether Flame Hall is currently in a special period. Those with merit must be rewarded, and those with mistakes must be punished. As a first-rate power, we in Nether Flame Hall must enforce fairness in rewards and punishments!"

"Take the intelligence officer who reported to me earlier. He reported the intelligence to me immediately; that’s merit! So I asked you to reward him instead of punishing him!"

"What would the diligent and loyal members serving the Nether Flame Hall think if they knew about this?"

"Wouldn’t they think that I, as the Hall Master, am inept and blindly punishing meritorious individuals? Therefore, the more urgent the situation, the better we must set an example. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ming Lun shook his head and looked at the Intelligence Minister, speaking seriously.

"Understood, understood, Hall Master, you are wise, the wisest Hall Master I have ever seen!"

The Intelligence Minister quickly nodded, flattering.

"Alright, return to your seat. Remember this matter: go back and reward that intelligence officer properly. Also, promote him. I believe the position of Deputy Intelligence Minister is vacant, right? Have him fill that role!"

Ming Lun waved his hand and said indifferently.

Hearing this, the Intelligence Minister was momentarily stunned.

"What? Didn’t you understand what I said? Or is it particularly difficult to grasp?"

Ming Lun gave the Intelligence Minister a glare and asked coldly.

"No, no, I understand. I will follow your instructions!"

The Intelligence Minister quickly nodded, not daring to have any objections, and obediently returned to his seat.

Seeing this, Ming Lun then turned to the high-ranking officials and Heavenly Rank Experts present, speaking solemnly: "Back to what I just said, our Nether Flame Hall is now at a critical juncture in your memories. It’s been a while since we engaged in war with other sects, hasn’t it? It’s not that our Nether Flame Hall offends others, but that no one dares provoke us! However, now there’s this Chen Family—a mere third-rate power—actually daring to challenge our Nether Flame Hall. What should we do about it?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Wipe out their Chen Family; who are they to stand against our Nether Flame Hall!"

"Exactly, creatures as insignificant as ants, utterly oblivious to their own doom, must be annihilated, or else people might start thinking that the Nether Flame Hall fears the Chen Family!"

"The Chen Family, just a mere third-rate power, not even looking to survive in the Ancient Martial World, actually dares to attempt challenging us. Isn’t that like ants challenging an elephant? I suggest sending enough Heavenly Rank Experts to eradicate the Chen Family completely!"

...

For a moment, the high-ranking officials and Heavenly Rank Experts debated and expressed their opinions.

Of course, most favored war.

Because as members of the first-rate power, Nether Flame Hall.

They naturally couldn’t tolerate such behavior from the Chen Family.

They felt that if this matter wasn’t thoroughly resolved, if the Chen Family weren’t eradicated directly, it would be a disgrace to the Nether Flame Hall and would also embarrass them.

After listening to everyone’s words.

Ming Lun nodded in satisfaction because everyone’s opinions aligned with his own.

"Since that’s the case, I assume there’s no opposition to me sending experts to eliminate the Chen Family, right? I see everyone’s thoughts match mine, so next, I will dispatch enough Heavenly Rank Experts to completely wipe out the Chen Family!"

Ming Lun nodded, looking at the crowd.

"Hall Master, you are wise!"

Everyone quickly complimented.

"As war approaches, let me reiterate: those with merit will certainly be rewarded, and those with mistakes will certainly be punished. As long as you perform heroically in this battle, rest assured, I, Ming Lun, will keep my word and reward heavily. So, don’t hold back; go forth confidently. Do you understand?"

Ming Lun looked at the crowd, speaking.

"Understood! Hall Master, you are wise. We are ready to risk everything for you without hesitation!"

"Indeed, Hall Master, you are the wisest Hall Master I’ve ever met. With you as our Hall Master, even if it costs us our lives, it’s worth it!"

"To eliminate the Chen Family and achieve great merit, Hall Master, we won’t let you down!"

The Heavenly Rank Experts expressed.

"In that case, I’ll start assigning tasks!"

Ming Lun nodded, looking satisfied as he spoke.
