The King of Urban Mercenaries

The residents of Ancient Meng City have all disappeared?

"What’s going on?"

At this moment, Lin Fei, Hou Qitian, and Xiaodao, followed by two small white wolves that looked like puppies—the result of the big white wolves shrinking—entered the city.

Despite entering the city, the three men and two wolves found no one, not even the City Defense Army?

"What’s going on here? What happened?" Lin Fei wondered, feeling uneasy. Given the nature of this situation, he didn’t know whether it was good or bad.

Lin Fei felt a little uneasy inside.

At this moment, an old man was sunbathing in the distance. After seeing the old man, Lin Fei immediately walked up and asked, "Senior, do you know where the people of the city have gone?"

"What?" The old man seemed hard of hearing.

"Old man, I’m asking where the people of the city went?" Lin Fei asked again.

"What’s up with the people in the city?" the old man asked.

"I said, where did the people in the city go?" Lin Fei said helplessly, repeating his question once more.

"What people went where?" the old man retorted.

Lin Fei wiped his brow and asked again.

The old man nodded, "Oh, that’s what you mean. Well, the City Lord is being executed today, so everyone went to watch. It’s such a pity, this Gai Xiaolian the City Lord was truly dedicated, but in the end, she was implicated in something related to the murder of a prince and is going to be executed. It’s really a pity."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Fei was taken aback. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen. He stood up immediately and ran in the direction of the City Lord Mansion. Running and leaping into the sky, he saw the large crowd gathered inside—a truly spectacular sight.

But Lin Fei had no time to appreciate it. On the enormous platform were over ten people, all connected to Gai Xiaolian—her brother Guba, Gu Xiaoba, and even her father, Gai Hongtian, along with seven or eight City Defense Army members, including several from the commercial caravan.

Lin Fei did not expect that the people he knew were all there. He quickly flew over, halting just behind the crowd, looking at the people on stage.

At this moment, Lin Fei felt a turmoil of emotions because the people on the platform were his family, arguably even his wife, as they had married in ceremony.

Just as he was about to make a move to rescue them, he heard the Executioner on stage speak, "The hour has come, I’ll ask you one more time, Gai Xiaolian, do you have any relation with Lin Fei? If you deny it, you’ll be released immediately. But if you do, then tell us Lin Fei’s whereabouts, and if you behave well, you might be spared."

Upon hearing the Executioner’s words, the still cold and noble Gai Xiaolian spoke, "I am Lin Fei’s wife. We have married, and everyone can attest to it."

"But I heard that Lin Fei has already divorced you," interrupted an official.

Gai Xiaolian smiled, "That was just a joke. He hasn’t divorced me. He just asked me to wait here, so I decided to keep on waiting."

The Executioner sighed and ordered, "Clear the area and prepare for execution!"

There was no choice. The time had arrived, so the Executioner immediately threw the token he held.

"Execute!"

With the order given, the executioner raised his massive sword high and swung it down.

At that moment, Lin Fei took action, sending a palm strike flying and knocking the sword out of the executor’s hand, making it land in front of the Executioner, embedded in the table.

The Executioner was startled and shouted, "Who is it? Stand up!"

Lin Fei walked towards the Executioner as the crowd parted to make a path. The Executioner stood on stage pointing at Lin Fei, demanding, "Who are you to dare disrupt here? What crime should you be charged with?"

Everyone looked at Lin Fei and his companions, not recognizing him nor understanding who he was, daring to storm the execution platform as though he had lion’s courage.

"I don’t know what crime I should be charged with, but I know what you’re doing is very wrong," Lin Fei replied.

"Whether it’s right or wrong isn’t for me to decide; it’s up to our current Emperor," said the Executioner proudly, bowing in the direction that represented the Emperor.

Lin Fei laughed, "And just who is your Ancient Ao Empire’s Emperor?"

"That would be His Highness Orleans! No, His Majesty Orleans!" the Executioner replied, bowing respectfully into the distance.

Lin Fei was speechless, "Orleans? The prince of Otto? Sounds like Orleans Roast Chicken Wings..."

But hearing such a familiar name made Lin Fei nostalgic.

"How dare you speak the name of the late Emperor so boldly. You must be looking for death. You must be a rebellious element from another country. Arrest these people! If they resist, execute them on the spot!" the Executioner commanded, and others responded, charging towards Lin Fei and his comrades.

Lin Fei chuckled but hadn’t moved before Xiaodao acted first, his dagger invisible, killing those who charged at them, causing the soldiers to lose courage.

"Executioner, if you don’t want to die, order the release of these people now," Lin Fei said.

Faced with Lin Fei’s threat, the Executioner gritted his teeth, "Even if I release them, they wouldn’t dare escape!"

"Oh? Why?" Lin Fei questioned.

"They are personally appointed criminals by His Majesty; they must not live!"

"Haha, a king obsessed with roast chicken wings is so arrogant. In that case, I’ll have your king come and tell you personally," Lin Fei said.

"What?! I can’t understand the nonsense you’re spouting!" the Executioner exclaimed.

Lin Fei laughed, "It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand; as long as you get it." With that, Lin Fei signaled Little Black to leave.

Meanwhile, Gai Xiaolian, kneeling before the execution blade, saw a flash of black light, further convinced of who this bold, domineering man was.

"Lin Fei, is it you?" Gai Xiaolian asked.

Lin Fei smiled, looking at Gai Xiaolian, and walked over, removing the human skin mask from his face, "What do you think?"

Seeing that familiar face made tears well up in Gai Xiaolian’s eyes.

"It’s really Lin Fei! Lin Fei is here!"

"Lin Fei, you finally came!"
