Interrogation

Fang An finally freed Xiao Chen's wrist, immediately Xiao Chen moved quickly towards one of the robbers who had first class sword skills.

"Unlucky! Why is this devilish brat targeting me!" screamed the leader of the Red Scorpion group, who was now being chased by Xiao Chen.

Without any difficulty Xiao Chen managed to incapacitate the leader of the group with a few simple movements. The difference in strength and speed between the two of them was so great that the robber was unable to offer any resistance.

"What do you want-!" Xiao Chen gave one punch to the stomach, causing the mugger to lose consciousness.

Xiao Chen looked at the nearly hundred robbers running in all directions then heaved a deep sigh and shook his head, "If Master had not stopped me, I could have killed more of them at least…"

Fang An smiled bitterly because he knew the consequences of his actions, even if he and Xiao Chen chased after these robbers he would only be able to catch a few of them now.

"Master, we can get information from this robber, I think he is the leader of the group of robbers who came this time." Xiao Chen dragged the robber he had crippled to Fang An.

Fang An nodded slowly then picked up the robber while Xiao Chen collected the small knives he threw earlier. Xiao Chen thought this secret weapon was quite useful in his current state so he wanted to keep it.

When the two returned to the small town with one captive, the welcome they received was not warm.

The villagers were not at all happy with everything that happened, they thought that if Fang An let go of the remaining robbers then in the near future a larger group would arrive than now and when that happened Fang An might not be able to handle it.

No words of gratitude were received by Fang An or Xiao Chen, the locals only looked at them with scorn.

Fang An shook his head slowly before inviting Xiao Chen to the accommodation with their prisoners.

"Chen'er, Master wants you to understand that this situation…" Fang An was worried that Xiao Chen would become disheartened by the attitude of the two villagers.

Fang An didn't want Xiao Chen to think that good intentions could get displeasing returns, moreover Xiao Chen was still so young that his mindset had not yet matured, at least that was what Fang An thought.

"Master doesn't have to worry, this disciple understands." Xiao Chen naturally understood the reason behind the villagers' attitude, he was more concerned about something else, "Master we better focus on getting information from this person."

When they reached the inn, Fang An tied the robber to a chair. A first-class warrior like this robber would actually have no trouble being held back like this but Fang An had no other choice.

"Chen'er, what do you plan to do with this man?" Fang An felt that Xiao Chen had reasons for letting this one robber live.

Xiao Chen nodded slowly before explaining, previously the residents said that this city wasn't the only one being terrorized by the Red Scorpion group. According to Xiao Chen, the way to deal with all problems that occur is to uproot them.

"The citizens can't rely on the government because there are people who support the Red Scorpion so it's better for the two of us to eliminate this organization. With Master's ability, I believe even if we don't manage to eliminate them, it will at least reduce their power significantly." Xiao Chen explained.

Xiao Chen really intended to get the locations of the main headquarters and branches of the Red Scorpion group from the robbers he had caught. Xiao Chen believed that apart from the two Red Scorpion Generals, no one else would be able to face Fang An.

"Chen'er, everything is not that simple…" Fang An shook his head slowly.

The Red Scorpion Guild's strength had indeed fallen a lot compared to a few years ago after losing two of their Generals to Lin Fan of Peach Blossom Mountain but still they weren't a group that Fang An and Xiao Chen could crush.

When compared to the strength of the Flowers of Sin, you could say that the Red Scorpion group was far below because they only had around two to thirty people who had expert level warrior skills.

"Our primary mission is to head to the Capital as soon as possible, we shouldn't delay too much especially since we've been sheltering in this city for several days." Fang An rejected Xiao Chen's idea.

"Master, there's no way we let them do whatever they want right?" Xiao Chen did not want to just obey.

Fang An was pleased to see that Xiao Chen had the desire to help others with his abilities but the timing really wasn't right. Fang An certainly didn't know, the reason Xiao Chen insisted on eliminating or at least weakening the Red Scorpion group was because he felt responsible for the group's actions so far.

If Xiao Chen didn't change the future by meddling in Lin Fan's affairs, the Red Scorpion group would no longer exist by now.

"Back in the Capital, Master will tell this to the Crown Prince. With the Crown Prince's help, even if the Red Scorpion group has a government person, they won't have much to do with it." Fang An replied.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly, Yin Song wasn't even able to solve his own problems so Xiao Chen wasn't sure that Yin Song would have much time to take care of the people like this when the Han Emperor alone who had more power didn't take any action.

"Master, we should at least make sure these robbers don't attack this town again. We can't just leave this city after what we did to the Red Scorpion group, they will definitely become the target of the robbers' anger." Xiao Chen tried to convince Fang An.

Fang An's eyes widened, sometimes he felt that he wasn't talking to an 8 year old child when communicating with Xiao Chen.

"We won't necessarily be able to get the location of the Red Scorpions' bases, but if this guy is willing to leak it then we'll go reduce their numbers." Fang An reminded him he didn't intend to completely wipe out the band of robbers but might make them hide for some time.

Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction before walking over to the seat where his prisoner was bound, "How long do you plan to pretend to faint? You have heard everything, if you want your life to be saved then say everything."

Seeing that the prisoner was still silent and had his eyes closed, Xiao Chen stamped on the prisoner's left foot hard, causing some of the prisoner's toes to make sounds that sounded like bones being crushed.

"ARRRGGGHHHH!" The prisoner could not bear the pain.

Xiao Chen covered the prisoner's mouth with a cloth because the screams were quite attention-grabbing.
