CHAPTER 994: CHAPTER 684: I’LL COME AND CHAT WITH THE CHIEF STEWARD_2

"Not good, this person is a master, it seems they came prepared!"

The master from the Bei Family knew he was no match for Xiu Huang, and even if everyone combined their strength, they definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat Xiu Huang and his group.

"Attack!"

Xiu Huang struck out with his palm, the powerful force knocking the leading figures of the Bei Family directly to the ground.

With Xiu Huang’s celestial Demon Cultivation Level, these people couldn’t resist at all and fled in panic.

The goods were also intercepted by Xiu Huang, who leapt onto them, looking down from above.

The master from the Bei Family gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you realize we are the Bei Family from Tianfeng City? If you dare rob our goods, you will surely suffer the consequences!"

Xiu Huang probed, "Oh? Could it be the legendary Bei Family, one of the Three Sects and Two Clans?"

Seeing that Xiu Huang knew their name, they coldly replied, "Exactly! Since you know our identity, you should understand our weight in Tianfeng City. If the goods are returned, we shall let bygones be bygones."

Xiu Huang laughed heartily, pointing to a distant large mountain, "It is your Bei Family’s goods that I’m taking. Go back and tell your Family Head that I, Xiu Huang, want these goods. If you want them back, come to the mountain ten miles away and find me."

Although they didn’t understand why Xiu Huang and his group were so arrogant and even told them their dwelling place,

since they couldn’t defeat him, there was no need to throw away their lives for nothing.

Thus, they abandoned the goods and fled madly towards Tianfeng City.

The Bei Family in Tianfeng City, as one of the two major families, held indisputable power within the city.

Moreover, they controlled the commercial lifeline of Tianfeng City, and whether ordinary Demon Clans or powerful demons, all relied on the Bei Family’s goods.

From the smallest everyday items to larger needs, the Bei Family could provide them.

It was due to this that the Bei Family stood as one of the two major families, to the extent that even the City Lord of Tianfeng did not dare to provoke them lightly.

"What? Someone dared to intercept our Bei Family’s goods!"

The Chief Steward was enraged upon hearing the matter, unfurling his wings in anger.

"If the Family Head learns of this, he will surely hold you accountable!"

The Chief Steward paced back and forth, pondering how to resolve this situation, fearing the Family Head would not only blame the transporters but also himself for negligence.

As the Chief Steward of the Bei Family, he was responsible for all matters, big and small.

If something went wrong, he was the first held accountable.

The transporter said, "But Chief Steward, this person said that if we want the goods, we need to go to a green hill ten miles south of the main road. Could it be a trap?"

The Chief Steward pondered, then spoke after a moment, "Even if they have ulterior motives, we cannot simply abandon these goods. Although not extremely important, they are still valuable."

This headache was due to the importance of the goods,

as knowledge of their loss could mean severe punishment from the Bei Family Head, and any attempt to conceal it would be futile as a simple accounting check would reveal it.

"Right, the person also said the Family Head must come personally to get the goods."

"Hello?"

The Chief Steward was slightly surprised, not expecting such arrogance.

"Could it be that this person is not targeting the goods, but there’s another conspiracy, something the Family Head must know about? Since they named the Bei Family Head, there might be another plot."

Or are they simply brash fools, uttering bold words?

But based on his deduction, these people were extremely strong, certainly not simple fools.

Therefore, the only answer is that they came prepared with another motive!

Meanwhile, Xiu Huang led his men to that same green hill.

One subordinate expressed misunderstanding, "Boss, why choose this mountain?"

"I think this mountain looks nice, isn’t that enough?"

Xiu Huang glared at him, "We need a place to stay, or would you rather sleep on the street every day?"

Hearing this, the group of subordinates found it reasonable; indeed, they should find a place to live.

However, upon reaching the mountain, they discovered it was already inhabited.

Coincidentally, by the very bandits they had encountered earlier.

"It’s you again!"

The bandits were tearfully speechless, not knowing what to say.

Having freed themselves from ropes with great effort, they couldn’t believe they were facing Xiu Huang again.

"As the saying goes, coincidences create stories. Meeting here today, it seems we are fated."

Xiu Huang walked forward, finding the houses they built, saving much effort.

The bandits dared not speak out of anger, leaning aside.

Seeing Xiu Huang had brought so many goods, they were stunned.

Noticing the goods bore the Bei Family symbol, they immediately understood their origin.

"Who are these people to dare rob Three Sects and Two Clans’ goods..."

The bandits swallowed hard, unable to muster the courage to rob the Bei Family’s goods.

Thus, the place became Xiu Huang’s dwelling for two days without any appearance from the Bei Family.

A Little Demon asked, "Boss, why haven’t they come? Did we give the wrong directions?"

Another Little Demon slapped him, "Are you stupid? How could we give wrong directions? It must be them taking the wrong path!"

"I think neither of your brains is quite clear; surely they have their own ideas and will not come easily.

Just as Xiu Huang was contemplating other plans, suddenly a small bandit ran in.

"Not... not good, Boss, Bei Family people are outside!"

This bandit, unaccustomed to grandeur or the Bei Family’s experts, was frightened upon seeing them.

Although only a dozen people, they were formidable and surely experts among experts, causing him to flee in panic.

Upon hearing the news, Xiu Huang not only remained calm but laughed heartily.

"Good! I knew the Bei Family would come."

Leading the group was an Old Demon, the Bei Family’s Chief Steward himself.

Behind him were many experts, including the person who once transported the goods.

"Chief Steward, it’s this person who robbed our goods, extremely powerful."

This individual cautiously warned the Chief Steward.

The Chief Steward’s gaze was fixed on Xiu Huang, scrutinizing him, recognizing his extraordinary abilities.

At the very least, he couldn’t gauge Xiu Huang’s strength, implying it surpassed his own.

A subordinate of Xiu Huang whispered, "Boss, the Family Head doesn’t seem to be here, but that old guy seems strong."

Xiu Huang nodded and walked forward, "Are you people of the Bei Family?"

The Chief Steward, with hands folded in his sleeves, kindly smiled, "I am the Chief Steward of the Bei Family. Boss, you don’t seem an ordinary person, and in this world, there are rules. Even if you’re a bandit, there should be rules, right?"

Xiu Huang sat atop a large boulder, looking at the Chief Steward, "I don’t know what rules exist in this world; I just know that goods are meant to be taken by me."

The Chief Steward narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Boss might be an outsider, and the rules of Tianfeng City are quite simple. Besides, I’m afraid you aren’t really interested in the goods themselves?"

After saying this, both parties fell silent, their eyes meeting.

After a moment, Xiu Huang waved, "Everyone leave. Let me have a private chat with the Chief Steward."
