Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 657: The Emperor of Soldiers Appears

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: The Emperor of Soldiers Appears

At this moment, the three members of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce are up against a dozen mercenaries, clearly at a disadvantage.

Seeing this situation, Lady Lai also became somewhat panicked, while Feng Luochen forced herself to remain calm.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here to protect you."

Feng Luochen didn’t expect Soldier King Qi to be so shameless. Although her acquaintance with Feng San could only be considered ordinary, they had indeed been through life and death together, and she did not doubt Feng San’s word.

Feng Bailing’s brows furrowed slightly; she had not expected things to escalate to this point.

Facing dozens of seasoned mercenaries, she herself wasn’t concerned and could escape into the Medical Cabin if necessary, but Feng Luochen and Lady Lai were another matter. She couldn’t abandon the two of them.

"I’ll give you two choices. The first is to obediently hand over 500,000 taels and take the goods away."

"The second is death."

Soldier King Qi declared ominously.

He thought the few from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce would be easy to hoodwink, but it turned out this one called Feng San was no easy mark. The truth about them being soldier bandits must not get out, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to continue in the Mercenary World.

"Perhaps we should just let this matter go," said Feng Luochen, aware that they were no match for Soldier King Qi and the others; better to keep a low profile to ensure survival.

But Feng Bailing’s gaze quickly flitted over Soldier King Qi. Hidden in her sleeve was a Divine Weapon.

She was considering, if at this moment, she were to use her Divine Weapon and her Seventh Sense to strike at Soldier King Qi simultaneously, with Soldier King Qi’s level of cultivation, how likely would she succeed?

The chances probably wouldn’t be less than forty percent.

As Feng Bailing deliberated, footsteps were heard from outside.

"What is going on?"

Hearing the voice, both Lady Lai and Feng Luochen felt relieved.

Soldier King Qi furrowed his brows slightly, muttering to himself.

"Why at an inopportune time like this, Xia Xing is back."

"Solder King Xia, your timing is perfect. Soldier King Qi—he’s a soldier bandit; our goods were attacked by him and his people."

Seeing Xia Xing, Feng Luochen felt as if she had taken a sedative and eagerly stepped forward to say.

Xia Xing, followed by a few mercenaries, walked in. Not far behind him was a red-clothed lady.

"Soldier King Qi, is this true?"

Xia Xing was somewhat surprised; did Feng Bailing and the others really uncover Soldier King Qi’s actions so quickly?

In fact, since Xiao Li informed him that those figures in black had been to the forest, and Soldier King Qi coincidentally found the goods at this time, Xia Xing had already grown suspicious.

Just that he lacked evidence, he didn’t expect that as an established King of Soldiers, Soldier King Qi would really do such a thing.

"They are slandering me."

Soldier King Qi said coldly.

He believed his act of hijacking the goods was flawless, with only his trusted subordinates and that mysterious person involved. He was convinced that they had no evidence against him.

"The goods themselves are the proof. Among these goods are several different batches mixed together; if it weren’t for the thief himself, how could he have access to goods from several different batches? This clearly shows that Soldier King Qi is a case of the guardian turning into the thief."

Feng Bailing interjected from the side.

Xia Xing glanced at Feng Bailing. Even though others might not recognize her, Xia Xing, who is also Gong Zhu, certainly did.

That’s because the Human Skin Mask on Feng Bailing’s face was made and given to her by his own hands.

"I was framed; how would I know that there were multiple batches of goods in the retrieved goods?"

Soldier King Qi adamantly denied it, with both parties sticking to their claims, neither willing to concede.

"I, Mr. Qi, also have a renowned reputation in the Mercenary World. These merchants dare to slander me; if they can’t produce evidence, they can’t blame me for being unkind."

Soldier King Qi’s words carried an added hint of threat.

As he spoke, he changed the topic.

"I implore the Emperor of Soldiers to stand up for me."

Soldier King Qi approached the red-clothed lady, respectfully saying.

The red-clothed lady frowned slightly. Although her appearance was ordinary, she possessed an indescribable aura that naturally evoked awe.

She did not make a statement immediately, and Feng Bailing looked at the red-clothed lady with some curiosity.

"This is my master, the Emperor of Soldiers."

Xia Xing hurriedly introduced.

At the same time, he lowered his voice to Feng Bailing.

"My master is here; she has quite the temper, so you all better not act rashly."

After Xia Xing found Xiao Li, his master would soon arrive, and Xia Xing could only hastily settle Xiao Li down.

Xiao Li, though young, was cunning. Xia Xing told her not to seek out Her Majesty, as it would implicate Her Majesty, so Xiao Li, worried for Her Majesty’s safety, simply let Hei Dian find Feng Bailing.

Hei Dian secretly informed Feng Bailing that there was something wrong with that batch of goods. Though Hei Dian could not speak, Xiao Li believed that Her Majesty, who was so clever, would definitely understand Hei Dian’s message.

Sure enough, Feng Bailing, with the help of Hei Dian’s prompt and her own intuition, discovered the abnormality in the goods.

Although Xia Xing had his suspicions, Soldier King Qi was after all a veteran under his master. Without solid evidence, he was not in a position to favor Feng Bailing. For now, he could only appease Feng Bailing until the matter was thoroughly investigated.

Having learned of the identity of the red-clothed lady, Feng Bailing also stepped forward to pay her respects.

Emperor of Soldiers Xia Bingxin had a stern face as she glanced at Feng Bailing.

"I’ve heard everything you said just now."

Xia Bingxin was the sovereign of the Mercenary World, and nearly all mercenaries in the world looked up to her. Although she had been famous for many years, she rarely traveled between countries. However, in the Mercenary World, she was almost a divine figure.

Feng Bailing also knew that with her current strength, it was nearly impossible to confront Soldier King Qi and the forces behind him. For now, she could only rely on the Emperor of Soldiers before her to resolve this evening’s incident.

The Emperor of Soldiers was Xia Xing’s master. Since she could instruct a disciple like Xia Xing, she was presumably not a mean-spirited person.

After entering Baidi City, Xia Bingxin paid attention to news from all directions. Her cultivation was extraordinary, and she had long heard the commotion from the Soldier Inn.

"We implore the Emperor of Soldiers to stand up for the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce."

Feng Luochen and Lady Lai hurriedly stepped forward to plead.

"Emperor of Soldiers, don’t listen to their baseless accusations. We worked so hard to find goods for them, and now they are turning against us. I think they just don’t want to pay us for our hard work."

Soldier King Qi scoffed.

"How could I, the mighty King of Soldiers, possibly scheme against a mere chamber of commerce?"

Xia Bingxin frowned as well, for she knew what kind of person Soldier King Qi was. Although he was not a good person, he certainly wouldn’t rashly pick on those insignificant merchants.

Merchants are solely profit-driven; they are capable of anything sometimes.

"Soldier King Qi has a point. He has no grievances with you, so why would he want to trouble the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce?"

Xia Bingxin glanced at Feng Bailing. She also perceived that this plain-looking woman must be the spokesperson for the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

"On the surface, it seems indeed that Soldier King Qi has no reason to go against our Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, but in reality..."

Feng Bailing let out a cold laugh.
