CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: SIDE QUEST: ELIMINATE THE EVIL FOR THE PEOPLE (PART 3)

"Damn Game Designer must be doing this on purpose!" Morgana cursed. "Infamy it is, then! The worst that can happen is losing some Contribution Points, but I’ve got to vent this anger!"

In the battle at Black Wind Stronghold, he had been the most ferocious fighter. Even when clashing with Black Tiger Hall, he had never backed down. And now, to be plotted against while visiting a brothel? Could they swallow such indignation?

Instantly, the five of them sprang into action and, with swift efficiency, floored all the Constables. "Smash this place up!" Junlin turned to Morgana and commanded.

Morgana, not holding back in the slightest, rolled up his sleeves and flipped the tables. The entire brothel instantly descended into chaos, and the patrons scrambled to flee outside. Meanwhile, Junlin and his team surrounded the Middle-aged Scholar.

"What... what do you think you’re doing?" The Middle-aged Scholar swallowed hard. "I am a Master of the Government Office. If you dare lay a hand on me..."

SLAP!

Before the words left his mouth, Junlin slapped him across the face. In real life, he was a Rich Second Generation; how could he tolerate being schemed against like this? To be targeted by such plots was a clear provocation. So what if it’s the Government Office? Weren’t they planning to cause a ruckus there today anyway?

"So, it seems all of this was the Government Office’s arrangement, huh? What do you mean by targeting our Profound Yellow Sect like this?" Junlin drew his Black Dragon Dagger and pressed it against the Master’s throat.

The Master, who had spent his entire life reading books, had never encountered such ruthless individuals. Didn’t they even fear the Imperial Court? He was so petrified that he collapsed to the ground on the spot.

"Spare me, Young Hero! This was all the County Magistrate’s arrangement; we were just following orders." The Master hurriedly explained, "The County Magistrate learned of your arrival and, in his desire to completely eradicate the Profound Yellow Sect, concocted this plan to frame you. I am merely a helpless pawn, forced into this."

Eradicate the Profound Yellow Sect? Why? The Profound Yellow Sect hasn’t run rampant or caused harm in Liang City, so why would the Imperial Court target them?

"Explain clearly, why is the County Magistrate targeting our Profound Yellow Sect?" Junlin questioned further.

The Master explained, "Because you destroyed Black Tiger Hall, the County Magistrate had their silver confiscated. He was worried you would come to claim the silver, so..."

Heh. Truly absurd. This Damn Game Designer’s plot is clearly aimed at the Profound Yellow Sect. Once a Jianghu faction clashes with the Imperial Court, they’ll definitely be marked, making every step forward incredibly difficult in the future. To plot against them just for silver! This damned County Magistrate not only reaped the rewards of the Profound Yellow Sect’s efforts but was also planning to dispose of them once they were no longer useful?

"Damn it, this guy is clearly a corrupt official!" Abbess, Don’t Love Me said with a dark expression. "If we go kill this corrupt official now, would that count as eliminating evil for the people?"

[Side Quest: Eliminate the Evil for the People.]

[Description: County Magistrate Wang Jinyou of Liang City has been extorting wealth and troubling the local people, a most unforgivable wrongdoer. Killing him will rid Liang City of this evil.]

[Reward: Contribution Points * 100.]

The sudden Side Quest delighted Junlin and his team. There’s really a Task? It had to be Abbess, Don’t Love Me. Anyone else probably wouldn’t have been able to trigger this Side Quest, right?

"Let’s go, let’s go! We’re off to eliminate evil for the people!" Junlin called out, leading Abbess and the others outside.

As for this Master, they couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. After all, their goal this time was to make a name for the Profound Yellow Sect. Eliminating evil for the people was just an unexpected bonus from a situation that could have gone wrong. Turning infamy into a good reputation? They weren’t losing out!

「Government Office.」

County Magistrate Wang Jinyou was currently lying on a bed constructed from silver, greedily reveling in the pleasure the silver brought him. This money wasn’t just plundered from Black Tiger Hall; a significant amount was also extorted from the Common People. In his eyes, as a ’parental official’ to the people, this was their ’filial piety money.’ It was an absolute must-have!

"Sir, bad news, Sir!" A Constable rushed in, shouting, "They’ve broken in! They’ve forced their way inside!"

Wang Jinyou’s pleasure was interrupted, and his expression turned ugly. "What’s with all this panic? Where’s the decorum?" Wang Jinyou roared angrily. "This is the County Government Office! Who’s tired of living and dares to cause trouble here? What is there to fear?"

The Constable took a deep breath, his eyes lingering enviously on the silver piled on the bed for a moment. However, noticing Wang Jinyou’s menacing glare, the Constable quickly averted his gaze. "Sir, those disciples from the Profound Yellow Sect have fought their way in!" Regaining his composure, the Constable quickly explained, "The Master and the others went to the brothel to apprehend them, but they were no match for those Profound Yellow Sect Disciples. Moreover, they discovered our setup. Now, they’ve already fought their way in through the main entrance of the Government Office!"

Hearing this, Wang Jinyou’s face twitched. They really came? Have the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples gone mad? Don’t they know this is the Government Office, protected by the Imperial Court? If they dare to make a move here, the Profound Yellow Sect would be doomed no matter how many members it has! Aren’t they afraid of implicating their entire sect?

Glancing at the silver on the bed, Wang Jinyou couldn’t care about anything else. He reached out, hastily wrapped the silver in his bedding, and planned to flee with it on his back. But before he could finish packing, five figures walked into the room. It was Junlin and his team.

"So you’re the fucking County Magistrate, huh?" Morgana advanced, holding his Axe. His fierce appearance made Wang Jinyou involuntarily recoil in fear.

"What do you want? I am an Imperial Official appointed by the Imperial Court! If you dare to harm me, the Imperial Court will not let you off!" Wang Jinyou clutched the silver behind him, threatening, "When that time comes, everyone from your Profound Yellow Sect will die! The Imperial Court will definitely annihilate you!"

"Oh-ho, still trying to threaten us?" Morgana stared at Wang Jinyou, reached out, and patted his face condescendingly. "Look at this. This is the quintessential villain’s face right here."

"Stop wasting time. Let Abbess take him out directly. Maybe some Equipment will drop." Junlin didn’t want to waste any more time either. After all, they still had to leave Liang City and check out other small Cities. This Side Quest was simple; they could complete it casually. Hearing this, Morgana stepped aside, signaling for Abbess to handle it.

Abbess, Don’t Love Me rubbed his hands together and said cheerfully, "Don’t worry, brothers. My luck is absolutely top-notch." As he spoke, he pressed his Blade against Wang Jinyou’s neck.

The cold Blade sent a Body Shudder through Wang Jinyou. Are these five really going to do it? Damn it! How dare they? Neither Li Hu of Black Tiger Hall nor Zhao Xiongtu of the Fish Dragon Gang ever had such audacity!

"You..." Before Wang Jinyou could finish speaking, he felt a piercing pain in his neck.

Abbess, Don’t Love Me flicked the blood off his Blade and murmured, "Bombs really are more effective. I’ve been watching ’Naruto’ with my daughter these past few days. There’s a character in it who uses bombs."

"Deidara! Explosions are an art!" Morgana interjected, then laughed from the side. "Abbess, you’re something else! You even have a daughter! How old is she? Does she need a live-in son-in-law? What do you think, am I suitable?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! My daughter is only in elementary school!" Abbess, Don’t Love Me cursed back immediately.

The Constable in the room swallowed hard, completely dumbfounded. Did the people from the Profound Yellow Sect just kill someone and leave like that? Could it be they only came to kill the County Magistrate?
