Chapter 30 Deceiving

The group of thugs stared at the people standing in front of them showing no fear. They began to slowly retreat further away from the pavilion. They don't know who the two seniors sitting in the pavilion are, but they probably guessed that no matter who the two seniors are, they must be the masters of the Guozhao Hunters.

Xu Shi whispered to Pan Tao, "Whoever those two seniors are, I hope they are not Guozhao Baiyu and Fang Yaoting."

Pang Tao looked at the group of hunters and said, "Even if you are Guozhao Hunters, we have not committed any unethical rules. These people do owe us money."

Xu Shi said, "Yes, your hunters have your own rules, and we ordinary citizens have our own rules. We are just workers, and we abide by our master's rules."

Pang Tao looked at the hunters and said, "Let's make good friends. I believe that establishing a good bond of friendship with our master will bring many benefits to the Guozhao Hunters."

Fang Weisheng stepped forward and smirked at the group of men. He said, "It's a bit late now, isn't it?"

Pang Tao said, "It's never too late to make friends. It is better to make new friends than to make new enemies."

Fang Weimin looked at the group of people and said, "I believe in this truth, but some people are not worth to befriend with."

Pang Tao's face turned dark, "What do you mean?"

Fang Weimin said, "Even if I agree to make friends with you, but my senior brother does not agree, I can't go against his wishes. After all, he is our senior brother, ours' masters' first disciple." He frowned. "So, I don't see any benefit in making friends with you or your master."

Pang Tao then pointed at Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Then he…"

Fang Weimin, "Our senior brother. Guozhao Zhiqiang."

Xu Shi pointed inside the pavilion, "Then they are…"

Fang Weimin, "Of course it is our masters."

Pang Tao asked, "Which masters are they?"

A huntress looked at Pang Tao from the side and said, "Don't you know? He is Master Fang, the third master of Guozhao Hunters, Fang Yaoting."

Xu Shi said intermittently, "Fa…Fa…Fa…"

Xu Shi and Pan Tao knew that Fang Yaoting was the strictest person of Guozhao Hunters. In terms of punishment, he is also the cruelest. The twenty people stepped back slowly, and Fang Yaoting led Lee Dachin out of the pavilion.

Fang Weisheng burst out laughing and said, "Unlucky for you, you met my fa…" He cleared his throat. "My third master."

Fang Yaoting said sharply, "Kneel down."

The twenty people knew that even if there were a hundred people, they couldn't compare to the two most ruthless master of Guozhao Hunters and the Black Hunter. The twenty people then knelt down without struggled.

Lee Dachin looked at Yang Chuntao and said, "Chuntao, look at the injured person."

Fang Yaoting looked at the kneeling men expressionlessly, "Dare you all commit crimes in front of me?"

Xu Shi begged, "Master Fang, we did what we were told. That person." He pointed to the injured father. "He owes Boss Mo a lot of money. We were told to bring his daughter back to be his sixth wife."

Lee Dachin, "Sixth wife?"

Xu Shi and Pan Tao nodded.

The injured father crawled to Fang Yaoting and knelt down. He begged, "Master Fang, my daughter just turned eleven a few days ago, and Boss Mo is in his sixty. How can I make my little girl be his sixth wife?" He cried. "Yes. Yes, I do owe him money, but Boss Mo asked for so much interest. I only borrowed fifty coins to buy medicine for my wife. We still have a year to pay him back, but now the fifty coins has become five hundred coins. How on earth am I going to pay that amount?"

Fang Yaoting looked at the men kneeling in front of him and said, "This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."

Fang Weimin said angrily, "How dare your boss force this little lady to be his sixth wife?"

Fang Yaoting said sternly, "After I did some calculation, this family owes no more than a hundred coins."

Xu Shi looked at Fang Yaoting and said, "Master Fang, he signed the legal document. If you don't believe me, we can show you the signed contract."

Fang Yaoting said, "I do believe he signed the contract."

Pang Tao said, "Then why do you think he only need to pay one hundred coins instead of five hundred?"

Fang Weisheng said madly, "How dare you question our master's calculations?" He was about to throw a bun at Pang Tao but was stopped by Lee Dachin.

Lee Dachin said, "Master Fang is very fair and generous to your Boss Mo. Your Boss Mo took the opportunity to deceive the illiterate. One thing is written in your document, and you tell the debtor another thing. Am I correct?"

The injured father nodded and agreed. He whimpered and said, "Yes, that's right. I was eager for money at the time, and I couldn't read or write. They told me that the interest for a year was only ten coins, that's why I printed my thumb on the contract."

Lee Dachin looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground and said, "To be honest, even if he collects interest, he won't exceed one coin per month. In other words, this father should only owe sixty-two coins." He looked at the father. "Do you agree?"

The father nodded and sobbed.

Lee Dachin continued, "According to the law, anyone who causes pain and suffering to others will be fined one hundred coins and the money will be given to the injured for medical expenses. This is paid by the attacker. Forcing underage girls to marry is subject to court fines and imprisonment. Fraud faces the same fate. So, on the contrary, Master Mo owes this father thirty-eight coins."

Fang Yaoting didn't even look at the twenty people kneeling on the ground, instead he smiled at Lee Dachin and said, "No matter how smart your boss Mo is, this beautiful man will always be smarter."

Lee Dachin said shyly, "I am old, and my hair is half-white. I am no longer that beautiful person."

Fang Yaoting smiled coquettishly and said, "You are still as beautiful as when we first met."

The Fang twins and Yang Chuntao smiled and shook their heads. The twenty men kneeling on the ground were confused by what they had just heard and witnessed.

Fang Yaoting turned to Guozhao Zhiqiang, "You and Chuntao can go back, you two don't need to follow us, we will follow these people back to see Boss Mo."

Lee Dachin looked at Deming, "Student Dong, you can follow them back to Cloud City. I allow you to learn the Guozhao principles." He smiled at Guozhao Zhiqiang. "Take the guest home, tell Teacher Li that I allow student Dong to attend class and study our principles."

Deming smiled at Lee Dachin, "Thank you, senior." He handed the horse rope to Lee Dachin. "I believe I don't have a need for him right now."

Lee Dachin took the horse rope from Deming and said, "When we return to Cloud City, I will bring him back to you." He looked at Fang Weisheng and Fang Weimin. "Help this injured father onto the horse's back. With his broken leg, he will not be able to walk."

The Fang twins supported the injured father on the horse, and Fang Weisheng held the horse rope.

Fang Yaoting looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang and Yang Chuntao, "Let's part ways."

Lee Dachin said, "Be careful on your way back."

Fang Yaoting, Lee Dachin, the twins, the father and his two children, and Master Mo's men left the small rest area.

One of the merchants praised, "No wonder everyone respects them. Guozhao Hunters deserves their title."

One Hunter, "This is why the six sectors never dare to step on the Guozhao Hunters."

Another merchant asked, "Why?"

A huntress said, "If they do, they will have many enemies throughout the land."

Another merchant said, "No one wants to be enemy with the army of Waterfall City, The Wastelander, The Horsemen, and the twelve Fairy Clans."

Another merchant step in and said, "Besides, they didn't do anything to harm anyone. If they establish themselves as a sector, they will have my full support."

Another hunter said, "Mine too."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Deming and said coldly, "Follow us this way." He walked slowly ahead, leaving Deming and Yang Chuntao behind.

Deming looked at Yang Chuntao and asked, "Has he always been like this?"

Yang Chuntao smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, he's not a very talkative person."

Deming smiled and said, "I don't mind. I read his profile before I came to Cloud City."

Yang Chuntao smiled and said, "Go get your bag."

Deming walked quickly into the pavilion, grabbing his bags, and walking towards Cloud City with Guozhao Zhiqiang and Yang Chuntao. While the group of merchants and hunters were chatting, the three hunters walked further and further away from them and into the horizon.
