Chapter 2974: Chapter 2974: They Really Will Cripple Someone
"No, no, it’s not like that, Young Master Hong. I really didn’t mean anything by it, I just... just asked casually."
He just asked a question, did it have to turn into such a big deal and push him to this extent?
He was just following the Family Head’s orders to come over and check the situation, how did he end up so unlucky to clash with these two young masters from the City Lord Residence?
"What is the purpose of Steward Zhao coming here?"
The Young City Lord didn’t want to hear his cousin wasting too many words with this person and asked.
"This..."
Steward Zhao choked. Of course, he was following the Family Head’s instructions to probe the person who bought this plot of land.
If this person had some strength, then they wanted to draw him into their camp. Such a wealthy fool willing to pay double the price to buy this land.
According to the Family Head, nowadays, people with economic strength, even without power, can solely rely on financial resources to help the Le Family have a greater chance against the two major clans.
This was his initial thought as well.
But now, seeing the Young City Lord and Hong Tianxu, the situation was different.
"I just heard there was a residence that appeared out of nowhere, so I came to check the situation and see if there was anything we could help with, hehe. After all, the land was purchased from our Le Family. The meaning of our Family Head is that if we can help, we will do our best to help."
"Heh."
Upon hearing Steward Zhao’s words, both the Young City Lord and Hong Tianxu sneered at the same time.
Such beautiful words, if they can help, they will do their best to help, so if they can’t help, they won’t, right? It sounds as if they would owe the Le Family a big favor in the end.
"Brother Qian has the City Lord Residence’s support here, no need to trouble the Family Head of the Le Family with this matter. We have other things to attend to, so we won’t keep Steward Zhao any longer."
After hearing the Young City Lord’s words to leave, Steward Zhao had no choice but to go. His gaze swept over Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, planning to come back to probe further when the two young masters were no longer around.
"Then I shall take my leave first."
He turned to leave but then heard a slightly familiar voice behind him.
"Guard the residence. If anyone insists on breaking in, no need to kill them, just cripple their cultivation level," Qian Jiyun coldly instructed the Paper Person at the gate.
"Yes, Master."
The Paper Person responded, standing straight with eyes firmly fixed on the nearby lingering Beastmen.
Suddenly, Steward Zhao felt a chill down his spine, quickening his pace out of fear, almost stumbling due to his haste.
Those two gateguards were extraordinary in strength; he didn’t even react before being thrown out, and his body still ached.
Who knows where they found so many people with high cultivation levels. It’s already remarkable to use them as guards, but to have them only be gatekeepers is truly a waste.
If they were with the Le Family, they would definitely be heavily utilized.
What a pity, such a pity.
"Brother Qian, would they really cripple someone?"
After most people had left, Hong Tianxu leaned over to Qian Jiyun and asked softly.
Those two gatekeepers truly had no hint of a smile, staring at the backs of the Beastmen like they were looking at dead people. See, it scared everyone away.
"Want to try?"
Qian Jiyun looked at him and asked.
"No way!"
Hong Tianxu hurriedly jumped back.
He didn’t want to have his cultivation level crippled. Though his level wasn’t impressive to others, it was significant to him.
